Some random sketch ideas

A few of the sketches I liked over the past month-ish, for fun/practice! 

Jarra

The elk boy I made for myself is finally done! It became a project on practicing shading and fur detailing with muscles. Very fun to do, but it was time consuming! In the end, I think I may end up putting him for sale, as I need the money more than I need to indulge in characters I'll never prope...

Yeehaw, brother

I've been playing a lot of Hunt: Call of the wild lately, and the Roosevelt Elks are SO gorgeous. Their vocalizations are so beautiful, too! So I wanted to make an elk guy for fun :) I've got a shaded version coming today as well later!

Future YCHs- what would you like to see? Any requests?

I've not been able to offer many YCHs in the past year, but in the next month or two I think I will finally be able to offer some again! I was wondering if there was anything in particular you guys might like to see! Couples YCHS? Singles/just one character? SFW, NSFW, or an option for both (like...

Hangin' out

Just a fun practice sketch!

The werewolf adopts cometh

Finally this base is ready to be designed on :) These adopts will be up tonight or tomorrow! This is the first draft of the first design on these, so it's not 100% done yet!

Some werewolf practice

A kind of incomplete/random sketch I did for practice today! I wanted to practice a few things-
1) the abs
2) back muscles
and 3) longer hair testing on were dudes
It's fun drawing the long hair on the front! It's hard to figure out on the back. It'll need some more experimenting I th...

Hot Spring

Smaller version of the piece!
Finally done, yay! I didn't know if I'd finish this or not, but here it is! This is a for-practice side project piece I've been working on a bit. I wanted to challenge myself and try some different lighting sources, and different textures. I played around a lot wi...

Hot spring guy with lighting WIP

Added the background and basic colors! This has been a really complicated side project so far, but it's fun to try and puzzle together! I've never really done still / transparent water before, especially with multiple light sources, so this is a challenge!
Next time I can sit down to work on ...

Hot spring sketch

An updated WIP to that sketch/concept I posted the other day! This time with updated anatomy and ready for coloring :) I'm happy to finally have this done / ready for painting, I've been wanting to finish it for a while!

Hot spring WIP

A really rough concept with some light colors of something I've had stuck in my head for a week! I doubt I'll have time to finish it, but I'd like to! It'd be fun to paint water again :)

Also, happy new years all! 

Enjoying the great outdoors

Just a for-fun sketch with a goofy title and gratuitous amounts of leaves/foliage added on! I was attempting to do a sort of brick/castle ruins thing that he's sitting on and leaning against, but it's not very clear, I dont think. I might add some color onto the were guy and finish the piece if I...

Here come the were-dudes

Two designs done, need to finish one or two more tomorrow! I'll be uploading them tomorrow probably once they're done :) This base was a ton of work to make, gosh. They'll be up on furaffinity, and I'll probably do separate copies with sheaths.

A year of werewolf practice

Wow, a lot has changed since february! My wolf dudes have gotten a lot more muscular XD

A payment I was waiting to receive, which would cover my bills for most of the month, is apparently going to be a month late. :C So I'll be taking today and tomorrow to do some adopts on the new (left-...

Possible upcoming were base

I'm still tweaking it a bit, but I've gotta do some adopts to pay for an upcoming bill, sadly. I should have this base ready to do designs on by tomorrow, and the adopts for sale the day after probably! 

Hunter WIP

Just a sketch out of boredom after commission work tonight! 

Winged guy

Felt inspired to do some wings, and put a werewolf guy in there for fun! I added some sloppy shading and lighting but didn't have time to refine it since I'm running late!

Dragon guy's anthro form

Finally added on the anthro version of this adopt from a few months ago, along with his NSFW extras! :) It was fun doing a sort of fantasy/hybrid mix on the extras. The design notes at the bottom may be scrapped, as it was just my idea for them!
I'm not sure if the design is 100% perfect, but ...

Brawler

Doing these anthro sketches and learning anatomy more is apparently addicting. I only meant this to be a simple sketch, but over a few days I kept adding onto it and here we are. A snow leopard just because they're such gorgeous animals and I thought it'd be fun to do a were-cat kinda thing! &nbs...

Woofalo guy

A sketch from earlier while waking up and getting ready for the day! I don't think I've really drawn an anthro woofalo before, so here's that! The idea for the sketch was based on one of my first anthro paintings from almost 3 years ago. Things have definitely changed a lot since then.. especiall...

Relaxing

The smaller sized copies of this fun practice/personal piece I finished today! I felt like I needed to practice some more anthro and muscles, and while being distracted by election stuff, this helped me relax!
I'm going to be resuming work tomorrow, though! No more time for messing around with...

Relaxing WIP

A random possible future YCH idea! I'm also doing an alternate painted/shaded version for practice, and that'll be uploaded tomorrow when it's done! I've got another hour or two left to finish it up. I'll be uploading the sfw + nsfw (erect) copies here of course, when they're done! I'm considerin...

Werewolf dude sketch versions

The sketch version! I'm not going to be taking on any new YCHs until Corwolf's is done, at least, but this may be a fun one to offer in the future!

Random werewolf dude fun

A warmup for work today that I got carried away with! It's been a while since I've done any NSFW, and I needed practice :) It's not perfect, and there are things I'd like to fix, but I've got other work to do!

There are three versions! I wasn't able to save the alternate nsfw copy for the l...

Choose your fighter

A visual guide for future commissions / adopts /anything nsfw for clients to choose how they want me to draw their characters junk!
Since my NSFW is pretty much only posted here to patreon, some newer clients don't know what to expect with NSFW commissions. So this should help provide an idea...

Finally a female anthro base

Now I've got a female anthro and were base to match the males!
https://sta.sh/2gzv90h2o3e
This'll be turned into an adopt and up for sale sometime in the next week!

Showoff

A sketch of my character, Noth, being mischievous! Just some fun practice for anatomy and posing (: 

Some new were boys

Finished the base finally! Here are two adopts I made while testing it out :) They need a little more work I think, but they'll be uploaded for auction within the next few days! I need to add on their feral forms as well. 

Some updated bases

Spent some time today adding a back side to my anthro/were base, and also added an alternate version of it that's more 3/4 view! This was a good learning experience and lots of fun :) I'm excited to try out the newer/updated bases (on the left) for commissions/adopts in the future. I'll be adding...

After hours

St Paddy's?? more like St Daddy's
Always have to squeeze in NSFW practice when I can, apparently! An alternate to my original sketch.
Hope you guys had a fun holiday, if you celebrated it! We didn't do much, but we generally don't anyway :)
