LIFE DRAWINGS FROM PHOTOREFERENCE #215: Another brand-new Clip Studio Paint sketch set!
Now that I'm finally out from under the crush of that maddeningly time-consuming Marvel script (and its gratuitous "thumbnail" roughs, which will someday be seen here), I was able to work up a new Clip Studio Paint Life Drawingset. However...Two of the pix I used for photoref featured li...
DISTRESSED DAMSELS: S'more EMPOWERED sketch sets, including poses reused in November's vol. 12!
After two weeks straight of nonstop grinding on a verydifficult Marvel script (in turn after a week straight of tax-prep BS), I'm deep in a frickin' hole in terms of Patreon post content. So, here's what I could scrape up this morning for DiD material, starting with some semi-recent revi...

WORK STAGES on a 2009 pin-up for the RPG EXALTED!
Still dragging that seemingly endless g-d Marvel script to the finish line this morning, so I have only 10 minutes or so for another Patreon post; luckily, stumbled across some old files that, as far as I can recall, have never been posted here before.After doing three or so cover illos for the fant...
DISTRESSED DAMSELS: A $20-tier art request of PINK & SANTA from 1980s anime DRAGON PINK!
Currently struggling with the worst g-d scripting deadline crunch I've ever faced (due to my own procrastination, tragically enough), so this art request of catgirl heroine "Pink" and kinda-sorta boyfriend "Santa" from the early 90s manga and anime Dragon Pinkis gonna have to do ...

No time for a new Life Drawingset this week, so I transferred over some very early Clip Studio Paint tests from the ol' iPad.First off, a 2020 sketch set drawn mostly using the Design Pencil brush, with which I was apparently experiencing some disenchantment at the time:Note that this was a very...

DISTRESSED DAMSELS: A $20-tier art request pitting EMPOWERED against THE PINT-SIZE(D) NINJA PLATOON!

FAILED PROJECT FRIDAY: More defunct pitches for DIRTY PAIR short stories (pt. 3 of 4)!
As I flailed about desperately for a post last month, I dug up an old Word doc from the early 2000s which rattled off 13 different plots for Dirty Pair stories, back when I had access to the DP English-language license and was trying to get something new off the ground with Dark Horse. After a gruel...
2007 "Endpage" cartoon re: dark secrets of the videogame magazine PSM!
Behold, another Endpage piece I wrote and drew in 2007 for the sadly defunct videogame magazine PSM, apparently commemorating the magazine's 10th anniversary, judging by the rough's scribbled title: Anyhoo, the piece featured a bunch of whimsical riffs about the magazine's (mostly made-u...
DISTRESSED DAMSELS: The EMPOWERED "bedroom cosplay" saga of "Emp vs. Old-Timey Inventor of Duct Tape" continues!
So, years 'n' years ago, I worked up an Empowered scene that never saw print in a volume (IIRC): ...in which Emp imagined a disastrous time-travel scenario: Years later, a Patron suggested revisiting the scenario, but this time as yet another "bedroom cosplay" roleplaying episode be...
LIFE DRAWINGS FROM PHOTOREFERENCE #212: Lordy loo, yet another new Clip Studio Paint sketch set!
Yeahp, 'tis another new Clip Studio Paint (iOS) sketch set based (mostly) on old photoreference from my tablet's camera roll: The upper image is newly acquired (as both the arm/upper back anatomy and strong edgelighting appealed to me), but the ones below are from old ref; in fact, I'm s...
WORK STAGES on a new Clip Studio Paint test illo for THE LAST PARTY!
So, here's a recent illo I worked up in Clip Studio Paint (iOS version) as yet another art test for perpetually in-development fantasy project The Last Party (which features a cast merged from earlier Patreon dealies Hushed Half-Elf and Party of Two): The main intent with this piece was to see i...

DISTRESSED DAMSELS: A double dose of new ROSE & LILY content!
First up, a Clip Studio Paint (iOS) sketch based on an art request from the $20 tier, depicting hapless Rose & Lily having failed ignominiously at sneaking through "Gobbo" (that is, Goblin) territory in dubious disguises:As I posted this piece, I was struck by the belated realization that Li...
VINTAGE CON SKETCHES: Yet another random quartet of commissions from 1998-99!
Behold, yet another bunch of con sketches from the futuristic years 1998-99, drawn on patterned linen-finish cardstock but, alas, scanned from quite mediocre photocopies of the original artwork.First off, Dirty Pair's Kei in a vaguely SF-skewing leather outfit, attempted because I had grown wear...
2006 PSM Endpage piece re: early designs for a boomerang-ish PS3 controller!
Behold, another Endpage piece I wrote and drew in 2006 for the sadly defunct videogame magazine PSM, which appears to be one of three different pieces I worked up over multiple years that whimsically riffed on the then-upcoming Playstation 3's controllers:I don't care enough to look this mat...

DISTRESSED DAMSELS: THE CHASTE AND THE CHAIN'S "Elf vs. Chair" saga addresses the Paladin!
Continuing on a previous bunch of Clip Studio Paint page roughs from a kinda-but-not-really story from fantasy test project The Chaste and the Chained, I had been noodling away on a scene of the Elf Mage finding herselfbedamseled yet again by a magically animated chair. This wasn't really a "...

WORK STAGES on a TITANS: VENOMIZED(!) illo based on a Patron art request!
So, out of last month's art requests from the $20 tier (as seen in yesterday's Exclusive Post for the Biggest Spenders) , one of the suggestions was worked up into a fairly complicated illustration that I decided to spin off into its own Patreon post for the $3+ tiers. The art req involved t...
