The Preparation - Process

Well, that was fun, but boy, did I create a monster...  

After every evening this week, I spent the whole weekend painting furiously to get this one over the line - as you can see from the process I worked through the background from back to front before turning my attention to the lad...

The Preparation - Flats

Well, that was a fair bit of work! Lots of cleaning up the characters in the scene to get super-clean linework. Several various options for headgear and such for the patient and Matron in this scene...and then deconstructing all the elements into many individual layers and folders so I can paint ...

The Preparation - Sketch

Hi guys

Been wanting to post sooner this week but as you can see from the sketch, things got a little complicated. Have had an idea for this scene (in a sequence progression from some of the paintings I did at the very start of this journey), and this style of restraint bench for quite some...

Calibration

The idea for this piece was crafting a view on a scene where it's as much about what might be just out of frame than what's in it.

I'll leave it to your imagination...

Calibration - Process

This was a fun piece to return to.  Actually finishing Miss Kim's piece and then rolling directly into painting was the perfect thing for me.

Really enjoyed working this one up - I had a strong idea of how I was going to light it so it was very satisfying seeing it come together.

Miss Kim's Certificate - Process & Final

So here's the process from flats to final for Miss Kim's certificate.

Spent the majority of my time on getting the likeness down because that's the essential part of this one.

Tonight I'll be getting those print-ready for Miss Kim and her students.

Then it's back to your regular...

Miss Kim's Certificate

So Miss Kim Rub (misskimlinktree.com) asked me if I could come up with a cool certificate design for graduates of the Mistress Workshop sessions that she runs.

I felt it would be far more interesting if I could make it a p...

Calibration - Flats

Everything is now blocked out and ready to paint.

As I updated the other day - it's time for me to hop over onto the piece for Miss Kim, so once that's done I'll resume painting on this piece.

Next update from me will be the sketches for Miss Kim.

Calibration - Sketch

Decided to have a little fun playing with camera angles on this one.  What's happening here, I'll leave to your twisted imaginations...

Quick Update - Collab with Miss Kim

I hope everyone has had a great weekend.
I'm working on a sketch for a new piece at the moment but it looks like I'll be duel-wielding a couple of pieces for the next few weeks.
Yesterday I was contacted by the delightful Miss Kim Rub whose portrait I painted back last February to ask me if...

A Point of View

So this one started with a dream that I woke up from on Christmas morning - the names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent but it was a fun notion to paint a point-of-view piece.

Here you'll find a number of uncensored variants that you won't see anywhere else but my hard drive....

A Point of View - Process

This was a fun piece to work on for the start of the year - after a lot of complicated corsetry and detail in the sketch I blocked out the colours, worked from the background, then our subject and afterwards, her mistress.

Last-minute I decided to do a different lip expression on our patien...

A Point of View - Flats

Here's the flats version of the piece - likely going to be a few variations of this one, one for here and others that a bit more social-media friendly.

Time to start the paint!

A Point of View (Sketch)

After posting my last piece just before the holidays I pondered what to draw next, then Christmas morning I awoke after a rather awesome dream.  I chose to draw it as a first person view.  The names have been changed to protect the not-so-innocent!

Flats next!

A Happy and Shiny New Year

So here's what the folks over on Instagram judged to be my most liked posts of 2022 - a surprising hit was "The Faces I Desire" which somehow or other blew through the algorithm and outperformed even the next best post ("Comfort") by 200%.  Seems that folks dig my combination of elegant mist...

Thank you, 2022

This is my second Christmas Eve, and just like the last one, here's a summary of 2022's paintings pushed through the fancy filters using the CapCut app on Android.

Thanks so much for supporting me, I really appreciate it and hope that I can continue to earn that support through the New Year...

The Gift

This is how we do a little unwrapping and sharing in the phetishskin world...

As ever, a heavy rubber piece accompanies this as-seasonal-as-it-gets piece. Plus the addition of a little bit of extra equipment to obscure something that I'm sure Instagram's censorship might have a problem with...

The Gift - Process

Here's taking the latest from the flats through to final.

Seemed to spend a long time on getting the inflated green latex of the patient feeling right, and boy, those corsets... My own fault for choosing to do that, of course! (Lots of fiddling to make sure all three ladies' outfits and pro...

The Gift - Flats

So - breaking the image down into many individual layers. And deciding, since it's a bit seasonally inspired to go with colours that are appropriate.

The Gift

Well, she suggested I paint something Christmassy...so I thought about unwrapping....and this is where I ended up...!

Comfort

Posting this while on vacation. Don't know what anyone thought while I was finishing this piece off in the coffee shop this afternoon.

Time to start another!

Comfort - Process

Decided to go strong on background colour with this one for a change - I knew I wanted the ladies in the foreground to be in mostly green latex, so I super-saturated the background red lighting for maximum contrast and worked from there.

Still working hard on the transparent latex - it's a ...

Comfort - Flats & An Brief Update

Well, that's been a good week.  Just had a fun three days rolling out The English Mansion Triptych piece-by-piece on social media and seeing so many nice reactions come through, especially from the ladies depicted in the work.

Here's 'Comfort' in her/(its?) flats stage - time to hunker...

The English Mansion Triptych

As promised, here are all the final images from this monster of a painting/set of paintings - I'd always intended these to be 3 images that form a triptych, but painting them as a panorama and then splitting them seemed to be the best solution.

I'd love it if you could stop by 2022-11-24 13:33:18 +0000 UTC View Post

The English Mansion Triptych - Process Video

Here's a little video I put together for Mistress Sidonia's blog that shows how the various WIP sketches that you've seen come together over time.

(I'd love to do some timelapses, but since my work is always sporadic, spread apart over many little fragments of time it would be a huge heap o...

Comfort - Sketches

Don't ask me why it's called this, I don't know. I needed a name for the document when I saved out the rough sketch, the word came to mind and I couldn't unstick it, so, like I have been doing with this project for the past 19 months, I let my instincts guide me.

Expect lots of layers of gl...

Rubbernaut

Here she is in several flavours - heavy rubber, mega heavy rubber, and a couple of less extreme versions for posting on Instagram.

Rubbernaut - Process

Rubbernaut went through a fairly straightforward process this week - working from back-to-front, and then recolouring the linework to blend in/create small edge highlights around her costume.

I took a few days' vacation this week with the intention of finishing the piece much earlier - so t...

Rubbernaut - Flats (& English Mansion update)

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Just updating you with the flats version of 'Rubbernaut' - now every individual element is separated into its own layer and flatted out for painting proper.

Dropping you this update before I spend a few hours doing the final bits of chopping, s...

Rubbernaut - Sketch

After the last super-sized painting I decided to take on something a little more contained, but as you can see, ended up zoning in on the details.

Here's the full sketch process from rough through development through to final lines.

The name of the piece is inspired by a term used by ...
