Behind-The-Scenes of Red Lantern
So, this is overdue. Took me WAY too long, hopefully it's clear why, there's like a ton of tiny details. As usual, all my fault. I got carried away.For anyone confused, this was the Polled Image from last month - Behind the Scenes of the Red Lantern shoot. In this modern AU, there are a few things of note. Honestly I have put FAR TOO MUCH thought into this, like way more than I am comforta...
Changes to the Merchandise Tiers Coming Up
Hey all. So, my Merchandise tiers have been needing an overhaul for a LONG time. The book tier gets same-y, since I've only got a dozen or so art books and comics. The print tier is pretty good as-is, but I need to streamline my mail-out process more (apologies to those of you who've patiently put up with my delays all this time).I have some basic plans that I'm hoping you'll all l...
May Poll
Some months I pretty much know which way a poll is gonna go. All the same, I gotta keep throwing a few of my personal kinks on the list. Some day. . . some day. . . .
Booty Continued
Yeah I dunno, this one's just coming along quickly.For y'know. Reasons.WIP #2
Haha, oh no.
This rough sketch is making me feel some kinda way.WIP for the Grayson Solo piece that will be going out to folks backing Illicit Alliance with booty bags. This's the one, I think.
Illicit Alliance Booty Bags - First Pick
So, this is happening. I'll be finishing up 'Illicit Alliance', the short story I began here on Patreon that, as it turns out, has another 2/3 left to tell. In the end I believe it will end up being around an 80k word novel. I'll be finishing it this summer while I also work on the final Illustrations for Kindred.Rather than doing a Kickstarter or anything like that for what's ...
'Dangerous Men' Chapters 1-2
The aggressive negotiation commences!This is a side story for Red Lantern, featuring Luther Denholme and Finnegan Ambrose. It is set before the events of Kindred, back when Finn was dueling in Amuresca. Despite joking to the contrary, all of the characters in this are of legal consenting age.Story contains swearing, drinking, frank discussions of violence and death, homophobia, you know, all the r...

I swear none of these Poll Options are jokes
I wouldn't do that to you guys ; )
Deadly Men Chapter 1 (Short Story)
At long last! The fabled Luther/Finnegan Short Story, chronicling the first time their paths crossed.It goes without saying, but the standard warnings apply to this one - Violence, Death, Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll. Okay, actually just alcohol. But still. Period-appropriate levels of Homophobia, and two aggressive disaster bois flirting in ways I would not recommend to healthy individuals.There wi...
Grant WIP
New coloring style I'm trying out, with wet edges
Leatherbear - FULL RES
Full Res version of this image <3
Leatherbear
When Tulimak in leather won the poll last month I carefully considered how I'd do a canonically-accurate leather piece for him.. . . and then I was like. Why bother? Modern leather is super hot. I wanna do him in modern leather.So I did. Storytime's over!This is the FULL RESOLUTION image for this month, so hop on there now if you want a printable version of the file ; )
Red Lantern BTS (Modern AU) WIP1
Since it seems ALL BUT CERTAIN that this is the image that'll win the poll this month, I figured I'd share the WIP for this I had drawn up in a late-night fugue state awhile back. It's where I got the idea for this, it isn't new. That being said, I never would've finished it without all this support from the poll, so thanks for making my fever dream a reality!Right now, just go...
Double Res Images Feb/March
MAJORLY spaced on putting out double res images last month. . . not sure why. I had a few nice ones lined up. So *DOUBLE* DOUBLE Res images this month. Found some beautiful old portraits here, I hope you enjoy them : )
March Polled Images
Some of these aren't adult, strictly. I make the rules!. . . but you guys still get to vote, so. In the end, I guess not : P

Feb/March FULL RES Images

Scars We Choose
This is actually Feb's Story/Polled Image, but being as it was a short month, I'm still catching up. All good now!A few disclaimers about this one. Please read!- This story features Finnegan Ambrose and Tulimak Tawnahowac from 'Kindred'. If you're on this tier, you have access to Kindred. It's a full novel (2 actually) set in the Red Lantern universe, but it's standalon...
Sun Glow
Another Patreon Commission upgrade! This one came out so cute
Patreon Commissions Continued!
I'll be posting a bunch of these this month. Catching up on my Patreon Commission work. I upgraded one of these to a colored piece, color is not usual on my Patreon Commission tier, just to be clear.
February Poll
Guess what made a come-back!. . . if you guessed Leather Tuli, you'd be right.

That bei...

A bounty of WIPs!
Illicit Alliance. . . Novel?
So, I'd like to float this idea here, first. I am doing a final edit on 'Illicit Alliance' tonight, decided I'd take a little extra time to really re-read the entire thing before I post it (and I'm glad I did, I found an array of things I wanted to clean up and fix). Since Patreon's uploader crapped out on me at the end of the month anyway, I figured eh. . . what's a fe...
