Blog - October's End is Soon Upon Us

It's been a productive last few days - perhaps a little too productive, haha.I had to make a correction to the previous Female Link illustration. There was a weird tangent between the brown areas of space on her arm and chest, so I changed the colour of her shirt over her chest.I still have a few more sketches that I need to draw, but I'm probably going to chill for a bit soon.-Monster Hun...

Female Link, "Oil" Experiment

I'm not sure why this particular one took so long, considering it is a much less dynamic artwork. That said, thinking about it now... More ambitious illustrations will be even more time-consuming! I will have to plan ahead really well for such artworks.There isn't a lot of dynamic colour blending in this particular piece, but the facial area is dramatic.Don't forget to eat & sleep.

Clocktowel Ham, the Harbinger of Gout - "Oil" Experiment

I've drawn this character a few times before; they're the main character of an idea that was basically just "Clocktower, but with lewd." I've just been labeling the files as Clocktowel for fun, since there is nothing else to the idea beyond that. But I think I've taken to calling her Audrey.This artwork was spontaneous, drawn only because a viewer in my latest livestream wa...

Octavia Santori, Summer Wear - "Oil" Experiment

I struggled with this piece because I didn't think it through very well. Its composition is a bit weak and the breasts are so large, they negatively impacted the piece. In an earlier design, she lacked any visible cleavage (as that felt more appropriate for a member of the clergy), but it looked better this way. Alas...I don't think it's as good as the Bridal Elayne artwork, but it sti...

Elayne, Wedding Dress - "Oil Painting" Experiment

This is a follow-up to one of my recent posts, but this time I'm "finished" with it. I've covered up a bit more of the under-painting, but have also added more splashes of colour into the artwork. You can see this subtle use of colour in multiple locations:On her torso, take notice of these little bits of red & green within the mass of blue.The flower on her neck has little bits of...

WIP - Elayne, "Oil Painting" Experiment Sketch

I'm experimenting with some new techniques - this time attempting to emulate the general vibes of an oil painting. I don't ordinarily show stuff like this, but I think stuff like this can be exciting. I'd like to step away from feeling like such a robot, and posts like this might help that.I think one of the more interesting visual phenomena is the rough bits of "under painting&#34...

Collection: OCTOBER 2024 Sketches

This post will update over time as more artworks are created.-One of the downsides to "monthly sketch collections" is that it doesn't give me opportunities to say anything interesting with each update. That's fine most of the time, when I have nothing to say - but other times, it's a shame. And it feels weird to put those thoughts in a collection post, especially as it'll b...

Bonus: Elayne, Giga Boob Variants

Although I fully expected to be finished with this illustration back in May, I decided to have some fun with a few more variants after last month's trend of "giga-boob" imagery.I like the idea of revisiting older illustrations with additional variants as a way to provide bonus art and value, especially to this particular reward tier.As time goes on, it becomes harder to create unique i...

Game Dev - Upcoming Enemy Designs

Development has been slow, but I'd like to dedicate more time to this project. One of the biggest obstacles holding me back is the messy collision system, but it might be cool if that's something I can make little bits of progress towards while also working towards new features too.Of course, it's tricky determining what exactly I should do. There are a lot of little ideas, but none of...

[Blog] September? More like Done-ember... Nailed it!

I'm probably done working for September. I've gotta take care of some stuff behind the scenes over the next few days. There was A LOT of big boob artworks made this month, so how does that feel?Anyway - here are some thoughts and stuff.Patreon ComplianceAs previously mentioned, Patreon staff have disabled my ability to receive money until I comply with their demands. I have until October 1...

[Blog] Small Update

Thank you for your patience. There have been some annoying disruptions behind the scenes:- General Exhaustion- Jaw Discomfort/Pain/Headaches (I still haven't followed up with a doctor).- Bed Bugs, threw out my sleeping cot (I assume I got it from recently evicted neighbors).- Leaking Water from my Ceiling / Walls (since February, our maintenance dept. sucks).- Patreon has restricted my ability...

Collection: SEPTEMBER 2024 Sketches

I worked extra hard these last few days so that you guys could get a heavy burst of new art to enjoy right away. Thank you for your patience! There's even more in the Dropbox Archive.Don't forget to eat & sleep.

WIP - Elayne Bridal Dress

The recent voting polls featured an option to dress Elayne in an outfit - and most patrons voted to see her in a Wedding Dress. These flowers look pretty detailed, so I wonder if I'll try to clean them up a bit - though I think interesting details like this can help elevate my otherwise simple art style.I don't typically show works-in-progress, because it doesn't usually feel like &#34...

Poll: Your Favourite ways to Engage & Interact?

The situation at Patreon behind the scenes is bad. I've talked about it a bit already: it's going to disrupt a lot of careers and make my job harder. Not to mention that Patreon is forcing me into a ToS with Apple against my consent. We have until 2025 until I'm forced into the new billing model, but there's a very real possibility that 18+ creators will be removed by then (as Patr...

Expanding upon Patreon's MASSIVE Changes

The last post was a bit quick & simple because I wanted to get the info out to you as soon as I heard about it. It's been a day of discussion in the Patreon Discord but no progress has been made, so I figure I'd talk a bit more about what's going on and what it actually means for us.Patreon Changes:Although the 30% pushed onto iOS users is the easiest talking point in the current discu...

Patreon Forces MASSIVE Changes for Apple Money

Patreon is actively seeking to ruin the platform's ease of use and are citing Apple's recent mandates as the reason why. Patreon is going to enforce these changes in order to stay on the iOS store, but I'm sure bending over backwards for Apple will stop right there, right?The situation's a little too fresh (having just learned the info within the last hour) so there's not much ...

Collection: AUGUST 2024 Sketches

EDIT - 08/24/2024There are still a few more Patron Sketch Requests that need to be done, but since it's so close to the end of this month and I don't like leaving you guys hanging, let's just say that I'm done with this month - if I manage a few more before the end of the month, then great! Otherwise, they should be finished within the next week or so and just added to September&#3...

[Blog] Patreon - Product v.s. Connection

Preface:The month is almost over. If I don't produce the patron sketch requests before the end, I will add it to the work for next month. That way, no one is screwed out of their request. Also my jaw is still having problems, so I might have to consider getting that looked at.Product v.s. ConnectionI want to shift away from treating Patreon like a job. Instead of building Patreon like a produc...

Dancer Elayne

This piece was inspired by this month's voting poll:Subject:Elayne Beaumont + ??? CostumeI initially planned to do more with this artwork, but I got tired and saw no reason to stress about it. It's not like a painted version of this would've made me more successful. Besides, I can always come back to it later - there's no reason to force myself to meet a monthly deadline. What do y...

Recent Thoughts on Game Dev

Beaumont Game Demo:Level 2 is trickier due to the use of invisible floors & multiple paths, but still not enough to pose a notable degree of challenge. I feel the engine doesn't provide enough challenge with enemy layouts. You can usually spam attacks without having to problem-solve. I suspect your biggest cause of death was falling off of platforms more than anything else. Thus, I may need to...

New Game Demo Soon!

The second demo for Vampire Killer Beaumont(name pending) is almost done, and I suspect it will be available for you to play next week - provided things go smoothly.The demo will feature 2 different levels (one simple and the second a bit more complex). All that's left to do is create the remaining two rooms and tweak a thing or two. Neither level has any boss, but it will showcase 90% of what...

6 Months into 2024 - Moving into July

We've finished 6 months of 2024, and that's when I routinely reflect on my career and consider ways to improve it. Rather than spend a lot of time outlining everything, I'm just going to silently try some new things out and see how that goes (I did write the usual essay, but I'm skipping it). If you have any thoughts or feedback concerning the experience, make them known.Anyway, I&...
