Would you buy physical artwork and merchandise?

One of the things I am wary about with digital media is how intangible it is. It really is great to look at an artwork in its physical form. And it looks like printers have really gone up in quality sinc...

Self Shot (working title) WIP

Hello Steel Hard patrons. Here is a little preview of the next animation, as well as a bit of insight on some of the process of animation, and how I approach it. 

This is something a bit more of a challenge to animate, considering also that there is the force of gravity to account for ...

What kind of animated content do you want to see?

When making animation and art, I try to choose subjects that many people would like. Admittedly though, I do tend to get into a few niche subjects that I like myself! And my audience took notice has bee...

Colour study for next animation

Hello Steel Hard patrons. As I gear up for the next few months, waiting for poll results, and getting in contact with voice actors and sound crew for future projects, this month I figure I would do a simple animation of a horny guy feeding himself some love. 

Well, simple in terms of n...

Back to the Drawing Table for 2020

Hello fellow patrons. I hope you had a great holiday season. I certainly had a wonderful time getting sleep, catching up on Fire Emblem 3H, seeing family and eating lots! Just returned from my vacation yesterday. But now my hands are ready to start creating again!

2019 was a pretty unbeliev...

Happy New Year!

The holidays are coming up real soon! This is my celebratory picture that I will post on New Year's Eve. The hot waiter returns to give his champagne.

This past year has been amazing for me as an artist. I decided to make gay erotic animation last year, and set up my Patreon in February 201...

Star Love Zero Gravity

Across great distances of outer space, three young men in their spaceship embark on their first transport mission, while getting up to all kinds of sexual nonsense and emotional moments that get in the way. 

This is the most ambitious animation project to date, having taken 4 months to...

Suck it Keitaro! Suck My Fucking Red Tiger Dick!

I finished some Camp Buddy fanart, as a nice break from animating. This was actually an old idea from back in June. But with the new Taiga Route coming out soon, I figure it is a great time to finish it. For fun, I also attached the original thumbnail sketch. Enjoy the uncensored, full resolution...

Because Galo Means COCK

I saw Promare in theatres last week and was astounded by the animation and art style, as I am sure any of you who have watched it would have experienced. The style of drawing reminds me of how I used to draw, a bit more angular and lots of abstract shapes. And the characters are amazing too. ...

Don't you love weekends, when you can play video games and sleep in? Karl and Jordan sure do.

 A cute waiter adds his "special sauce' to a pizza, at the request of his pervy customers.
