A Ninja On The Run 🥷
Happy New Year all! Sorry it's been quiet here 😩Initially this was going to be a Psylocke pinup, but as I worked on it I realised it was going to be a bit too spicy to be Psylocke, so I referenced my own Ninja character from a couple of years back and then promptly forgot that I was doing th...
Anyone for a Quickie?
One last pinup to see out this year. I won't get into it much, but I'm glad to see the back of 2024. Good riddance I say.I've always loved negative space in design, weather it's a page layout in a magazine or the composition of an illustration or photograph, there's just someth...
Merry Crisis
Or Merry Chrysler... (I hope you get the reference, and sorry if I panicked anyone!)I'd just like to extend a massive thankyou to everyone here; you folks are the reason I'm still able to do this. Whether you're with family (biological or chosen) or are flying solo this year, I wish you ...
Peaches
Sorry Jack Black but that song was horrendous, but it works as a title for this one!Inspiration for this came kind of out of nowhere; initially it was just going to be Bowsette sat on a mushroom with some toys laying around her, then I added Peach, then figured she should be captured, then saw some ...
Femme Fatale
Been plugging away at this one for what feels like an eternity (it's probably about 2 months off and on) At one stage I thought this was cursed because every time I tried to finish the colour work something went wrong. I had a blue screen and lost 3 hours of work on it, I couldn't get phot...
Come To Bed...
Storytime! "oh god" I hear you cry.Back in the spring I got the chance to work on some branding for a craft brewery in London. I won't get into the nitty gritty of it because of NDA and all the legal shit; but, one of the ideas they had was for a femme fatale type character in a backless...
Stretchy Sunday (fan tier)
EDIT: - I remembered instagram HATES ass cheeks so in an effort to not upset the puritans, I made an extra covered up version. I don't think it's a total killjoy but it would be nice not to have to censor a non explicit image 🤷♂️. So that means more art for you guys! (6 extra sl...
Have a Pizza This
My puns know no bounds. Anyway; had one of those "remember when you got commissioned by someone kinda famous to draw April O'Neil in bondage?" things today and had to dig it out and share on Blue Sky (https://bsky.app/profile/hardroundbrush.bsky.social)That then made me realise I never ...
Discord?
Alrighty sooooo with what appears to be the death of twitter, instagram's crackdown on spicy content and the general sludginess of patreon's tools for me as an undiagnosed-but-something-ain't-right creator I've been thinking a LOT about starting up a discord server with a subscribers...
Hey, dese are old but gold
Hades = Hey dese... see what I did there? Yeah sorry I know, that was a terrible pun.ANYWAYI made a post on bluesky about these earlier and thought it'd be fun to find some of the older bits for you guyssoooo here's Meg and Aphrodite from Hades. I thought I'd share the original posts ...
Vi-olate Me Mommy
Questionable title aside I'm pretty chuffed with this one!Just in time for part 1 of the new season :DI kiiiinda went a bit overboard with the muscle mommy thing here but as you'll see next week, it's a nice contrast to the other character I plan to draw 🤫In terms of style this is kin...
She's a Screamer
One last post for Halloween! 3 in a week omg?!So I've got a confession to make... I've never seen Scream (or any of the sequels) so the only reference I have for Ghostface is... Scary Movie... 😅 I remember seeing it in the cinema and that Carmen Electra scene stayed with me for a LONG ...
Scarlet
It feels like a lifetime since I've attempted a likeness so here's a quick(ish) stylised study of Scarlet Chase (Secretcrush) based on her IG story from the other day. I loved the initial sketch and spent most of the time trying to retain the vibe (but failing, as usual 🙃)Also... 2 posts ...
Spicy Pretzels
I dunno about you, but I like my pretzels hot, spicy, and very verymoist... 😼I planned to have this out late last week but prep for comic con and being ill kind of scuppered that plan 😭But I'm back now, and I figured I'd get myself warmed up but finishing this off for you guys - I lite...
Spooky Painty Lady
I was gonna call this "horny girls in your area" but I dunno if that's a bit sus for patreon? 😅This is a super loose exploration of a very different way of working for me, it's all done on 2 layers (one for the background and one for the figure) and there's no sketch, no draw...
The Offering
Soooo here's the finished version of the WIP post from the other day!Making an offering of the flesh to an as yet unknown spirit... what could possibly go wrong? ...or right? 👀Hope you like it!HRB x
Quick Stretch
was just gonna call this "quick sketch" but... yaknow... stretches.Anyway - I'm away this week helping my brother move so there's unlikely to be much progress on The Offering til next week at the earliest. To make up for it, here's a very quick sketch of my OC and exploring that ...
The Offering WIP
Working on a bit of a monster piece with a few variants and I promised an update to the tier 2 folks today but I felt mean leaving you out 😭, so here's a sneaky peeky at where I'm at with it.This is the safe for work version (or...safe ish - I'm wondering if I should give the pants a ...
Light Play
Something quick-ish, a sort of pseudo sequel to one of the first pieces I ever posted here - the beanbag girl. This started very loosely as a warm up/study a Riley Reid post from X, but I ended up changing a few things and like a lot of my pieces it took on a life of it's own. Instagram will g...
Juniper Commission
First of all I'm sorry about how quiet things have been here this month. Life's a bit of a struggle still and my advertising work has been ridiculously full on for weeks now. (I'm painfully aware that I've said something like this on almost every post recently, I really am sorry!)I&#...
It's On(sun)day 🛁
Onsen... Sunday... Onsunday... Onsenday? I dunno. Nobody reads these anyway so who cares lol.FINALLY got this devil off my back. It's been a wild ride (in my head) trying to get this one over the line, and it took an entire redraw and style change to get it there. Ugh.I really want to do a f...
POLL TIME
CALLING ALL CULTURED FOLKS (that's you lot)Which of these ugly AF sketches should I make pretty (relatively speaking) next?I've got a horrific lineup of day job stuff coming up so rather than lilt between pinups I don't know if anyone's interested in, I thought I'd ask! So, let ...
The Sin and the Sentence
The title kiiiiiiind of relates to the idea here of some sort of enraged Goddess about to deal flaming retribution... but in all honesty, it's just the album I was listening to while working on this. 🤘I bought some reference packs from Grafit Studio recently (great stuff, check them out if yo...
Dungeon Domme-ination
Not my usual thing (in many ways) buuut here's a commission I finished up recently for one of the lovely folks on Super Fan tier.There's a few closeups and a look at the inks and the initial pencil sketch in the carousel there.Just a quick note on commissions - officially my list is closed, ...
Natalie Roush Sketch
Nothing major, just a quick sketch of Natalie Roush done after work today. Model and reference here - https://www.instagram.com/natalieroush/
No Doctor!
Get it?This kind of came out of nowhere tbh, I was warming up doing some throwaway sketches when the idea of doing a Bond girl type character popped into my head. Having grown up on the classic Bond films I vividly remember Honey Ryder and I just figured I'd do something of an homage to the cha...
Mercedes Portrait
After work one night last week I still had a little "gas in the tank" and I fancied drawing a quick Mercedes portrait. I liked it, but it was only a 20 minute sketch and there were some things off here and there so on saturday morning BEFORE work, I put an hour or so into drawing it up a bi...
Let the waves wash over you
It looks like we're going to get a week or so of unbroken sunshine here in London so it seems like a good time to post this up at last! It's been sitting on my harddrive for a couple of weeks unloved because... life 🥲This was initially inspired by (what I think to be) the iconic Kate Upto...
Shanna The She Devil
Ok so this is pretty different.In an effort to bust out of this art block I've found myself in, I started getting back to basics, reading through "How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way" (A classic) and watching a few Proko videos on youtube. In the midst of all that, I realised one of my fa...
New Balls Please
Well, summer's trying to get here... though for us in the UK it's struggling (tbh I don't mind, I prefer it cold and miserable lol) so to celebrate, here's something silly. Kind of an homage to the classic silly cartoons you might find in Penthouse or Playboy back in the day.I do hav...
