Commissioner's OC, Work-In-Progress
Awhile back, I shared a WIP of a commission I did of a reader's original character, called Limelight. The final was posted on Oct. 13. Here's another of the same person's characters, this one called Lady Packrat. This will be another work-in-progress series, as you can see. You can alrea...
Happy Belated Easter (Commission)
Considering the powerful supernatural entities Fire and Brim' have gone up against, you'd think they could handle one horny Easter Bunny. Or maybe that's just the form some demon is taking. I'd hate to think of this thing sneaking into kids' homes with pastel-colored baskets of g...
"In for Servicing"
Here's another one that's been kicking around for awhile, but something always kept me from proceeding with it. I came across it this week and it hit me: I didn't like the original face. The reason I never realized that was the problem was that, paradoxically, I always liked the face. To...
Devil Girl Sketch
Hey, all. Waayy back (well, you can see it was in '04), I di this sketch at San Diego Comic- Con. I could have sworn I posted a version of it here before, but I went back over previous posts and didn't see it. I don't recall if I did it for a fan, or just for the hell of it, but I've...
Abbey Serves Up Some Pie (sketch)
Here's another sketch of Abbey enjoying the company of an accommodating gentleman, this time of the gillman variety. I don't remember if this was for a commission or maybe a gallery of adult pinups, but I'm pretty sure no finished version ever saw print. I wonder if Nessie ever met this ...
Evil Deja Vu Commission
For those not familiar with my character Deja Vu's backstory, she used to be an incredibly powerful witch...and an even bigger bitch. I tend to just refer to her old self as "evil Deja" (though Deja wasn't her name back then). I've done a few pinup commissions of her in the past ...
A Page from a M'Lady Story
I found a bunch of sketched and penciled pages from some adult shorts, three of them M'Lady stories. So I thought I'd grab some at random and go over them, make them presentable, and, well, present them here. If there's enough interest, I might finish them properly and post the complete ...
Forlorn Website Graphics
Once upon a time, there was going to be a very cool website for my work. But then, I thought it might be wiser to go with a bunch of half-assed social media sites and an unsearchable Patreon page. If you recall the graphics of Blue (from Blue Grind) that I posted awhile back, they were intended for ...
Nessie Con sketch
The title says it all, really. Someone at a con (San Diego, I assume, since they were nice enough to make a copy for me...which makes me think this might have been...Dave? I don't remember) asked for a nudie Nessie, and this is what I came up with. These are usually pretty well received. I used ...
Beauties & Beasts: "Inner Light" Pencil Render
Hey all. Here's another one with a backstory. The sketch for this has been kicking around for so long that the bare pencil outlines had all but rubbed off the paper. I had to find the color sketch and reconstruct it from that. In doing so I noticed that when I did the color sketch, for some reas...
Old Painting with a Beauties & Beasts Feel
Last week was a weird one. I've been "helping" my friend Grayson Fogg with a couple of sculpts for a deadline (designing, building armatures, sculpting, painting--that kind of help), so my time has been stretched paper-thin. I thought I was on track to bring you a new Beauties and Beasts...
A Madam and One of Her Girls from the Autumnlands
Since I'm helping Grayson on a deadline right now, I thought it might be fitting to share one of his pieces. Here's a work-in-progress, a portrait of two working girls--well, a madam and one of her employees--from a cathouse in the Autumnlands. Grayson hopes to put out two books: The Autumnl...
Slamhounds Designs
I've been spending some big chunks of time scanning my sketchbooks, in order to bring you some of my work process and images you otherwise would never see. Here we have some early redesigns for the characters from Slamhounds. Most of you know that Dash was changed from an anthropomorphic rabbit ...
Beauties & Beasts: Treasure Chest (pencils)
Whew. This one took awhile. It started with the note "pirate attacked by tentacles" scribbled in a corner of a sketchbook--simple enough to jot down, but a bit more complicated and time-consuming to realize. First there was arriving at the right pose for the pirate (originally her legs were ...
Beauties & Beasts: "Loyal"
Hi, all. The idea for this Beauties and Beasts piece came to me last week and it just sort of fell together. A couple of funny things about it, both related to faces. Unless I'm working with a specific model, I usually don't have a specific face in mind, just a "type", and sometimes ...
Meg and Centaur Commission
Here we have a commission of Meg enjoying the company of a centaur friend. Does this cross a line for anyone? For me, it does not, because I refuse to acknowledge those lines when it comes to art...except for those that will get you cancelled these days. (Whoever thought Big Brother would turn out t...
New Kat (The Pound) Sticker!
It's Monday, so it must be New Sticker Sunday! Show Kat some love (although probably not the way you'd prefer)...GOTTA HAVE MOORE! (creator-spring.com)
Beauties and Beasts: "Secret Snacking"
Here we have--obviously--another Beauties and Beasts piece. It's a simple depiction of a witch out for a relaxing night flight with her familiar. (The moon is barely visible, because in the final, color version the sky will be overcast, with the moon glowing through the clouds.) Said familiar is...
Fire & Brimstone Commission
Demons seem to have only one thing on their minds, at least in the world of commissions. This is the sort of activity Fire would normally be quite enthusiastic about, so I have to assume it's a control thing; she likes being the one doing the boning. But take a close look at Brim--is it just me,...
Beauties & Beasts: "Head Cheese"
Oops. Would you like some text with that post? I've been sculpting at night lately, and I tend to forget everything else when I'm sculpting...including adding text to posts before they auto-post. *sigh*This piece--another Beauties and Beasts design, obviously--has a long history. I first ske...
Macabre Alternate Cover Designs and Color Sketches
I know most of you have seen the cover illustration for Macabre, but I thought you might like to see the process of working through ideas to get tot the final image. The first color sketch is obviously the color sketch for the eventual cover, and the others are variations on the theme. They might be...
New Sticker Sunday: Jynx
Would I really put out a sticker from a title that hasn't even been published? Of course! I've done it before, right? Ninety percent of my titles won't see print before I kick off, so why not? For those who don't know, this is Jynx, one of the stars of Superzeroes, an action-comedy i...
Robin in Repose
I wanted to provide some Boneyard content this week, and this time Robin takes center stage. This was a commission of a simple nude, which is always great; it gives me a lot of latitude to create something pretty. Not much more to say about this one, really, except that Ralph is one lucky werewolf.
M'Lady & the Manticore, "Fleshed-Out"
We saw her a few weeks back in sketch form, and here she is, fully rendered. I'll be painting this piece, so this is the next step in that process. I need to do a color sketch that I like, because I absolutely hated the one I did back when I first sketched this.Drawing this reminded me that year...
Happy Valentine's Day!
Do you hate Valentine's Day as much as I do? Well, why not celebrate with a brand new sticker? I mean, I bet you're fine with nudie cuties balancing balloons on their butts, right? Exactly.Happy Valentine's Day! Products from GOTTA HAVE MOORE! (teespring.com)
Big Valentine's Day Exploitation Sale!
Today is the day! For the past couple of days I have been hinting on my social media about a surprise thank you for all of the support and love you have shown over the years. A lot of you know that I am not terribly technologically inclined, but I finally put time aside and figured out how to set up...
What is with Meg and Ogres?
Hey, all. I've got another Meg-with-ogres pinup commission for you...hope you're not getting tired of them. This is going to be my only post for this week, unfortunately. We lost Obie last week. He had a scheduled vet appointment, and although he was slowly declining, I had decided to give h...
Aiko in a Nightshirt
Well, it's New Sticker Sunday, and I'm on time for once. Here's an early Valentine's surprise from Aiko, with her newer hairstyle and a cute little nightshirt that almost fits. Enjoy!Aiko Pin Up Products from GOTTA HAVE MOORE! (teespring.com)
Meg Gets Friendly with a Swamp Witch
Before the first Far West series, I did a couple of shorts to shop around to publishers. One of those, called "Tasty Pretty", if I recall correctly, was about a swamp witch who tried to seduce/entrance Meg in order to, uh, eat her (pun intended or not, you choose). Meg handled it in typical ...
Rough Beauties & Beasts(?) Design
This may seem like just another penciled piece waiting to be fleshed out, but in fact it's a raw design straight from my sketchbook. The title identifies it as a Beauties and Beasts image, but I haven't decided if the final version will be that or included in a Googie collection or possibly ...
