Hey everyone, I finally got the Super Metroid PDF up on gumroad, but I wanted to let you all know I'll ad the Justin Bailey (green haired Samus) to the March dropbox archive for you all since I didn't have it ready by the end of this past month.
I'm considering doing long-haired Zelda for t...

Hikers are back! I'm looking forward to the day when I can walk outside and actually be sweaty.
As an aside, drawing these hikers give me a better appreciation for the passing of seasons. Trees are juuuuust about to start leafing out around me.

Hey everyone! This tutorial suggestion comes from twitter and it was talking about how to achieve softness with lines!
I put together a bunch of things I think about when drawing my lines and I did it all with a super sharp brush to show how they can help even the crispest lines feel ...
2020-03-05 23:30:33 +0000 UTC View PostI'd like to allow for a bit of flexibility with content this month, some comic stuff, maybe pinup stuff? Who knows!? I always am over-ambitious.
Anyways, this is a mix of original/fanart content ideas. The original stuff I could easily do regardless, but when I started thinking about ...

Hey everyone! I'm going to be sending out the dropbox links for this month's/last month's collected things and it will include the PDF for HEAT SEEKER!

02/26 update:
I'm allllmost done with this. I want to share more in process stuff with you all.
I added one more midtone to the flesh just to be able to show a bit more definition, since Samus is so fit. Ordinarily I'd try to avoid this because more tones=more time, but for this I feel ...
It's been a little while since I shared some behind the scenes sketch stuff for one of these projects for gold patrons (thank you for your support!!!!!) so I wanted to share some of the ultra-sloppy doodles that go into planning out a cover.
However sloppy, I've settled on Samus lounging ag...

Now I just gotta finish that cover! I've added a bunch more visual flourishes light pollen to the other pages that will be in the final PDF I share as soon as it's wrapped up!
Thanks for the support guys, this was such a fun comic to make and I couldn't have done it without ya.

Drapery, clothing can really save your ass when you have a constricting composition in a comic or illustration.
With this I tried to give myself a narrow composition with a lot of foreshortening to demonstrate how the drapery can help make those moments feel dimensional without chang...

Hope you were all able to enjoy the abundance of chocolate, the color pink and weird fruity flavors of ice cream out in the world today. Look forward to a comic update this weekend! I've got like one more page to finish!

THEY'RE GETTING DONE! The last two are still a little rough but I wanted to share more :)
It's so nice to finally be getting back to this. Like usual I'm going to do as good of a job as I can to the point where I can share them and then do a final pass to tidy it up and add the little spark...

Thank you all so much for your patience with my January absence. I can't promise I'll start firing on all cylinders but I'm aiming to be back up to full speed by the end of the month again. In the meantime I'll keep my updates on the Samus comic as regular as I can and start generating new conten...

With these square format one panel pages I really enjoy trying to fit them into a sort of continuous composition or floating vignettes.
This comic is basically the exact inverse of Spicy Elixir, which was all about leveraging the white expanse of a snowy mountainscape, showing the hor...

Happy New Year everyone! I spent the past week being sick but I think it's finally past me. I know I'm going to be a little silent this month, but I wanted to send you a few more pages for right now!
Thank you all for your support, I'll do my best to keep you entertained with some art talk ...
2020-01-02 17:46:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, just wanted to do a general update. I've been sick ever since Christmas and it's really cut into my progress on the comic.
I'm going to pause charges on the patreon so January will be free while I complete the Metroid comic.
That will also give me more time to run a poll while...
I'm sure that just like all of you, I'm busy doing holiday stuff with friends and family this week, but I hope to have an update on the weekend.
Anyways, hope you all have a wonderful holiday and enjoy some tasty food and maybe a fireplace, if you're lucky.
Thank you all for the conti...

Those are potent mushrooms! (I know that overwhelming aphrodisiac mushrooms may be a trope, but I still like it)

This is basically a story about Samus developing more than a professional interest in collecting all the missiles she can find.
Once I add color they'll start to look a lot more complete. The floating cannon arms especially...

Oh boy oh boy oh boy happy Thursday! Here's another update on Samus pages!
Art talk: I've found with doing these that it is much easier to complete a comic if I constantly tell myself I can "fix it later." If a character gets off model, if a composition is incomplete, even if I feel l...

I decided to try out a color treatment on page 10! I wanted to make something that felt sufficiently 'vintage' like I always do, but also a palette that might feel at home in the 90s. What do you think?
I think in order to complete a comic I'm going to have to switch the polling structure t...

Hello all! Hope you had a nice holiday week! I'm plugging along on the Metroid comic!
For a brief recap. This month we got a Metroid comic moving along, it's currently just at around 6 clean ink pages but that will quickly change, we've got another page of a Space Epress Ch4, some assorted ...

Happy belated Thanksgiving everybody, I hope you got to enjoy some tasty meats and/or veggies as the case may be. Here's a first pass at a bundle of uncolored Samus pages! It always takes until I'm nearly done to figure out what a good title will be for these things.
