Updates and what's going on
🕑 Added 2018-07-03 21:29:18 +0000 UTCSo here's a sort of an update.
I feel like I'm slowly getting over the worst creation pains, I'm feeling somewhat motivated and I'm getting some perspective on my own art. Not having to stress about the schedule has helped also, so while I haven't actually had a break it's been good to focus on other things for a change.
As you can see I'm working on the DokiDoki Literature Club mod with Blackjack and the group at the moment. I'll post more sketches and progress as things get finished. Hopefully this will be done within the next few weeks and I can focus on my patreon schedule again.
I've also been doing practise sketching with perspective(included an example page if you are curious) and trying some painting tricks and trying to get back into painting more naturally. Being really loose with my brushstrokes and not worrying about the end results really helps, I also included a simple photo study of one of Anzu's cosplay photos you might have seen around.
The new inking style for pages has actually helped me create a more satisfying workflow and while I'm not confident I can make it look as good as some pages where I've had the luxury of taking my time to make the lineart as smooth as possible (pg 88, 105 for example) I feel like it has the potential to be almost as good with fraction of the time. So I'll keep working on it.
I will try to get some pledge rewards done on the side when I have time, and I'll try to make one colored page to see how long it would take for me to do colored pages. And towards the end of the month I'll hopefully get to post most of the DokiDoki content so it should be interesting enough soon. Also I'll try to do a HD pack and I'll post some of the Pages colored by Emeffy soon.
Thanks to everyone for your support and sticking with me through the hard times! I promise to do my best to deliver in the future, even with dry seasons like this.

I've loved the recent NLB pages just as much as the older ones, so your personal technique switches can only be a good thing, in my humble opinion, because it keeps you on schedule with less stress while your fans still enjoy the product. 😍 You're great and I know you're going to wow us all with your DokiDoki work as well. Long live the bellies!

Glad to hear! Hopefully it'll be enjoyable experience

It's not just the lines, the more art I do the more I feel I want to focus on expression and having personal looking brushwork etc. I feel like the majority of the art in wg community is getting really stale and samey and I don't want my own stuff to fall into that.

Thankthank!

She turns biggu, but nothing bigger than what I've actually drawn before and I don't mind doing one sprite and CG of a bigger girl once in a while even if it's not exactly my jazz.

Thanks I will try!

What do you mean "anyway"? The majority of people said it's a good thing and encouraged me to, not to mention it's a good bit of variety.

Loved those Monika sketches!

We know you're good for it, and NLB has been my favorite story of yours ever by far. The new style looks great. If you need to take a breather or just try more new things, we'll be here for you.

I think its cool how things are looking up for you recently. and as far as your art, I really like the new changes in your style, it feels pretty fresh.

That's good to hear. I always miss your posts, but I get that these things take time. On another note, the DDLC sketch you posted looks really promising. I'm glad I ended up finishing the game so I can enjoy the mod more when it comes out.

Ah, you did the Doki Doki thing anyway....

Take my money!!! But seriously... It pleases me to no end to see you in better spirits. I'm very interested to see some of your test paintings/works. And as always I will forever be a fan! You continuously draw the cutest/sexiest chubby belly women around. :) Please keep up the fantastic work.

Ahhh, I see that the doki doki project is still gaining power. Interested to see you doing Monika though; doesn't she end up a total blob? I would be surprised to see you draw something like that. Very happy to hear you're feeling happier about your own art in particular though!

Been working through workflow troubles of my own lately, so I'm glad to hear you've found some useful shortcuts and techniques as well. I definitely feel ya on favoring a looser style, rather than worrying about refined lines. ^_^;
