Next comic rough-sketched
Posted 4 years agoIt seems fairly close to being a a completed sketch anyway. Def needs a tiny bit more workshopping.
I'll think on it for a day or so before continuing to the next phase.
This one I wanted to be more emotive with the gestures and expressions, telling a kind of ambiguous story without any actual dialogue.
Though uh it has a particularly unambiguous ending I suppose. :3
This week at work should be kinda busier than normal since there's some extra tasks being done that complicate things somewhat. We'll see how that goes.
Shouldn't mess me up too hard but we'll see. I just get so tired sometimes. -_-
Also did a very rough sketch for a follow up to that last comic. I could bounce between these for a bit, and at some point I'll think about the rough sketch for a third comic.
Keep that shit movin.

Almost done :0
Posted 4 years agoAforementioned silly short comic is a few steps from completion. Just a bit more now.
Final sketch looks good (last step before ink), rough speech bubble and text positions look alright. After ink is flat color and simple shading, maybe some fiddling around to get some basic backgrounds in. Should be a snap once I get back to it, probably posting tomorrow night or Sunday. Hopefully no more distractions arise.
This week was a bit of a bummer for those but I'm rolling with it. But, ya know, when you have RATS in the fuckin walls you deal with the shit. ¬_¬
Taking a look at it again zoomed out and yeah, I think it's pretty heckin neato. I like it.
Been a fun project to work on after not having drawn much for a bit.
And I say again: humans getting fucked with by non-humans is great. Always was a fan of human + furry vore stuff but it's nice to have other things too like goblins, fairies, robots, aliens, whatever.
That shit is sublime.
PS - I'm not meaning to hype this thing up or anything. I'm just excited to be drawing again.

Short comic on the way, and also hi
Posted 4 years agoSome short goblin+human M/m comic in the works. Just the rough sketches so far but it's reasonably solid.
It's silly and dumb but not bad. :u
Considering if I should just go as-is and get the thing done now or if I should add a few more things...
Guess we'll see and then you can tell me if it even makes any sense. Haha.
If I don't have it done tonight it should be sometime this week.
I think I might be able to iron out like 90% of it before bedtime, leaving an absolute cinch of a remainder, even if I am trashed after work.
Work is pretty hard on my energy levels which tanks my interest in pretty much everything. Haven't done any creative stuff in a bit but I've been more attentive to my sleep needs this past couple of weeks and it's really helped. Too many nights being a stubborn dickhead going to bed too late, going to work in the morning on 4 or 5 hours of sleep. Felt like shiiiiiit.
Gonna go make some hot dogs and get back to it.
EDIT AGAIN: Too tired today. Will do more work on it very soon. Not much left.
Easy peasy.
Hope I'm not overhyping this shit. I'm just happy to be drawing again. >.>

Odd difficulty
Posted 4 years agoI don't tend to get too thrilled about my own smut or erotic works, or whatever you call it. It's just not as exciting as stuff made by other people for some reason.
That said though I spent some time last night writing some more scenario notes for the visual novel project. Jotted down some stuff for how I want scenes to play out, including the ones with the various main characters. There's a tough lizard warrior chick in your party named Ard (funny joke) who thinks you're too soft, wants to whip you into shape.
Wrote a bit more about her, sussing out her personality a bit.
Also detailed some stuff she does in specific scenes.
And now I'm obsessed with lizard girl butthole. :y

Glad people enjoyed those sketches
Posted 4 years agoAnd now I can disappear for another two months. Haw haw.
No.
Actually today my plans are laid out pretty well. For sure gotta go to bed in 13 hours. 9 AM right now, gonna go have breakfast now, dunno what yet.
Promised a friend I haven't talked to in like a month that we'd play a game for a couple hours.
A bit of time in Monster Hunter Rise would be nice but I might skip it if I'm not feeling it.
Eventually I'll get dinner in the oven, some achari chicken with rice and peas. Should be nice.
Then I'ma blast music and draw for the rest of the night. Might ink up a couple of those sketches, might make something new.
Got a few really rough things I didn't post that could use development. Hell, anything I've made could use development.
Bring some characters back, shove more people in their craws. Occurs to me that little furry dude I made hasn't had much actual insertion content. >.>
It's nice to post this stuff, however rough it may be, and get some fun responses from folks. I enjoy it very much.
I mean I enjoy making kooky lewd stuff and all but my fave part is showing people and them getting a kick out of it. :3

What up
Posted 4 years agoHad a spot of seasonal depression there I think. Feel a lot better now, I think. It can be a right sneaky cunt. :0
I'll post some sketches to scraps soon at least, hopefully tonight, just some stuff I made before my brain turned to mush.

Vacation coming up
Posted 4 years agoGot some stuff on the way. Was spending a lot of time there with a friend playing games since they're a bit stressed out over some upcoming stuff.
That aside I have a vacation coming up. Starting Monday I'll be spending vastly more time drawing. Got some stuff I wanna get done.
Even wrote some a couple more ridiculous ideas in my idea log but those always read like they're ten-page comics. Gotta find clever ways to simplify them a bit.
See ya soon, fuckers. :0

Back after a little break
Posted 4 years agoCrazy hectic at work, had some dental stuff done. Drew a bit but didn't finish stuff up so that's my objective.
Though I did draw https://www.furaffinity.net/view/40764383/ today with some other alright stuff. It's a two-panel comic too which is neat. Not the greatest but it's something.
Stayed up late finishing that up. I'd probably shade it 'n stuff but I'm looking at like.. five hours sleep before I gotta go to work now. Haha.
Oh well.
Be back with more crap soon.

Placeholders!
Posted 5 years agoFinally got some time to put pen to paper on this visual novel thing. Part of the time spent is fiddling with the software and learning its quirks and limitations.
But I did get some placeholders down with a rough starter conversation with the three characters.
The opening scenario is largely unplanned at the moment but I have some ideas. Wake up late, miss the new guild job postings, only couple left is something dumb like killing a couple of normal rats in some asshole's basement or... a really high paying job of traveling to and defeating the Dark Sorceress, a job everyone else is frankly too smart to take because everyone who's gone out there has gone missing.
So screw it. You need money, you've got a ragtag band of friends you met during your time in this town. Pack your stuff and go slay some psycho. Easy right?
I'm not gonna go too crazy with the vore CGs. There will probably be one for each bad end with some variants where needed. There's probs gonna be like ten bad ends too, I think. I wanted each major character interaction to give you that option.
The challenge comes with changing expressions and poses with all the characters. That's gonna be a task. I'm sure I'll hone in on a good method while I'm screwing around. But between it all the proportions and sorta.. volume(?) of the characters needs to be reasonably maintained. Can't have their head slightly smaller in one pose compared to the other. Gotta try my best to nail that, get real myopic about it so I fuck up a bunch of other things instead. :000
Next minor milestone is getting down a placeholder background which will complete the scene enough for me to care to take a picture and share it. Milestone after that is one expression change for each of the three characters currently in game. Later on we'll get more complicated with changes in pose. Gotta cross them arms 'n shit.
Should be fun.
But I gotta work 40 hours this week which sucks. I really wanted Monday off but there's simply too much to do.
I'll try to stay well-rested so I don't crash after work every evening. Speaking of that, I'm going to bed.

Pretty good
Posted 5 years agoThat last drawing (https://www.furaffinity.net/view/40181936/) was pretty fun. Like I said in the desc, I like the BG. Would have been too plain otherwise, probably a gradient or pattern. But I like props and stuff. Supposed to be a computer console with monitors but they kinda look like windows. Haha.
The original document says I saved it around 4:47 PM and I posted it around midnight. So yeah, broadly I'd say it took me maybe three to six hours to work it. Took lots of breaks, usually between each major step.
I mentioned in the desc edit that I spotted some flaws. Those arise due to a bit of a bad habit where I make hasty changes during the final sketch without considering everything else. Move a couple of lines to one side and it can potentially throw a bunch of other things off. Pff. :0
That aside I like the speed. Seems reasonable. And I didn't fiddle too long with making everything look absolutely "perfect." Sometimes I fuck around too much with hands or whatever and it can eat up 20 - 30 minutes multiple times, putting me in a bit of an awful mood because it's tedious and unproductive. But as I continue to practice that becomes less of an issue. So while I may have issues now and then with hands for example I'm still vastly better at drawing them than I used to be which means vastly less wasted time.
Time is such a hugely valuable resource.
No video games right now, though I dip into Beat Saber once or twice a day for a bit of cardio after work or during art breaks on my days off. Bailed on my obligations to friends by just sorta signing out of discord. Can't deal with the distraction. I feel guilty and frustrated when I don't draw or work on stuff, though now I feel a bit guilty for just up and vanishing. >.>
Not the ideal approach but I had to do something to get my ass in gear. :u
Working on a few diff things. I figure this visual novel project will be a good lead-in to further work on the RPG Maker thing.
Still need to figure out the design of the warrior. Was thinking human but I might do something a little different. Not sure yet. Not a huge rush at the moment and I can easily use a placeholder if I feel like knuckling down for a bit. That said I still haven't actually started any actual work on the VN proper. I'm using TyranoBuilder which seems perfect for my purposes. Based on its capabilities and limitations I was able to make a basic notepad outline for the entire game from start to finish, minus the script. Thought I'd fuss with that as I went and refine it as the project develops.
My immediate concern is the basic assets or placeholders. Some backgrounds, characters, maybe some music. SFX will come later.
Should be a snap. Might poke around at it tonight after dinner.
Figure it'll be about an hour in length with some dialogue choices leading to bad ends. Not sure how obvious I want them to be especially since people are all into totally different things. Considered obvious hints in dialogue or maybe having a content warning or.. something. Not sure yet.
But yeah, pretty basic gameplay-wise. Not exactly solving a mystery, using items, or completing puzzles. Just some chit chat and vore in a fantasy setting.
That's my jam, baby.

Still goin
Posted 5 years agoWhat up, dudes.
Drew a bunch on my time off after Christmas there. Had two days and now I'm back at work for a couple more days before New Year's. Then I think three days off in a row. Should be useful!
The drawing sessions I had were a bit lacking in good stuff (smut or not) but things are moving forward a bit at a time. I at least spent some time time doing a sorta refresh drawing of the various characters from that yet largely nonexistent RPG project. Such a colorful cast of friends and also enemies who want little more than to insert you into various terrible places.
Wanted to dedicate some time to doing reference studies again. They help a lot in the long run, really driving home some fiddly shit about how things all fit together.
Lately I feel like I'm kinda improving at perspective stuff. It's difficult but actually making janky failed attempts still counts as practice, go figure.
Proportions are hard enough to maintain in perspective changes but are also tough across multiple drawings of the same character, which is what I need to do for sequences and comics. I feel like one-off pieces are okay but comics have eluded me for a long time (and I them), even short two or three panel things.
Panel one: normal sized man and woman. Panel two: Tiny man inside normal sized woman. Easy. Sorta.
It also kind of needs to be, y'know, good. :000
Anyway, that's enough outta me.
This weekend I should be able to come up with something postable for sure.
I'll doodle a bit after my snack here to see if I can't bumble my way into a good starting point for later on.
Cheers.

Merry Christmas, buttheads
Posted 5 years agoLong year, not the most productive in terms of art, but in terms of holding down what I think is a decent job... oof. Love it. If there's one thing I'm thankful for it's that I was able to find a nice job after that previous decade of thoroughly harrowing shit. Haha.
I appreciate my work-life balance though the holiday season, at least since Thanksgiving, afforded me a bit less personal time. Regardless, I was able to churn out some art even with less personal time. That means a lot to me that I had both the energy and interest to do that recently.
And I plan on making more of course. I'm up bright and early. Gonna have a bit of breakfast, play a chill game, then while the big bird cooks away in the oven I'ma do my warm-ups and see if I can't kludge together yet another goofy fetish thing. Also have tomorrow off so the work continues, just with less holiday affairs. :0
I'm so glad to have followers and other folks checking out my stuff. When I started it all years ago on tumblr I really just wanted to express myself. Now I'm on twitter and furaffinity here, might post elsewhere down the line... but I'm just happy to have you guys around. I love your comments. They always make me smile, simple or detailed. Thanks a lot.
So.. Merry Christmas, everybody. It was a rough year but we made it. Stay safe, stay smart, eat your veggies, and just.. generally keep moving things forward.
See ya around.

Hello again
Posted 5 years agoStill been working hard. Almost been at this job for a year now. I enjoy the responsibility they've given me though sometimes I can get a little behind.
Gotta be back there in the morning for a half day. Got some extra hours heading into the holiday season which is fine by me. I just wanna do my best.
Doesn't stress me out nearly as bad if I can just get some proper sleep. I can certainly handle going in on 4 hours sleep but it's really bad for the mind as well as the spirit. Trying to behave myself.
Had some odd back problems again recently but sleeping with a pillow between the knees definitely seemed to help.
My fitness has improved somewhat so I'm not often so totally trashed dead tired but my brain is often too fried to concentrate on much. Trying to change that with some more drawing (again).
That said I've been enjoying having a little more spending money so I've been buying more food lately, gained a little weight back. Last summer I had lost so much just by going for fast hour-long walks in the park for a few months. It was like a pound a week at first goddang.
Anyway, I hope things are alright for you folks out there.
It's been a difficult year but hopefully some more of my stupid drawings make things a little brighter.
Stay safe, buttheads. :000

Bit of gamedev today
Posted 5 years agoBeen spending my time off work screwing around mostly due to the fatigue of everything but I've been getting some drawing in.
And thankfully I had the energy to fiddle with spriting today, getting some placeholders and tiles and stuff down for my RMVX project that's coming along at a thoroughly glacial pace.
It's fun. Quite often need to go look stuff up for reference or inspiration, and translating that into little 32x32 pixel shits is often difficult but I enjoy having stuff come together.
Vowed from the start to not use any of the RTP graphics or music. Might get some sfx going since I kinda know a bit about that but it's still fairly new territory. Like.. I can fudge some foley and do basic audio editing.
Making music is cool. Planning on using famitracker though I dunno if that sound will suit the game very well.
Might have to accept that it's gonna be a mishmash of amateur stuff, at least really early on.
Animation is the other element I'm dipping into. Gotta make those little dudes walk around on screen. Also need various animated props since it's on some kinda futuristic alien world.
Dunno about visual effects. Might look into what other people were able to accomplish in RMVX back in the day.
Scripting is a no-go. Gotta rely on stuff others have made.
So yeah, still in super pre-production. Slowly replacing the RTP with my own stuff takes awhile but I get better all the time.
What I need to do though is get the basic sprites done and get a couple of the early cutscenes and conversations in.
And that's not even at the feckin' vore yet god dang (which is gonna require a whole pile of new art to boot). :0
Anyway gotta go bed. Work in six hours. See ya around, mates.

And that's not even at the feckin' vore yet god dang (which is gonna require a whole pile of new art to boot). :0
Anyway gotta go bed. Work in six hours. See ya around, mates.
Howdy dooooo
Posted 5 years agoStill workin at new job. I'm frontline so it's a little dicey. It was worse a few weeks ago and has since calmed down. I was practically on-call for a stretch there and we were down to skeleton crews.
I even isolated myself at home for a few days (I had none of the listed symptoms. It was fucking allergies.) but went back to work shortly after.
Anyway I've been dialing back my chat/game time and trying to get in some drawing time. I have a normal schedule now so it's vastly easier to find the time without falling asleep at my computer.
For real I get mad at how tired I get. Sleeping feels great but when it eats up your free time it sucks. >.>
So last session kinda sucked since I was rusty and also kinda tired. We'll see how it goes today. Gonna turn off interruptions and plan out my day a bit.
This has been a pretty bizarre time for us all. I hope you guys are safe out there.

New year, new job
Posted 5 years agoHeya, dorks.
For real though I got a new job recently. Only been there a few days and it's been interesting.
Excited to learn a bit of new things but it's kinda exhausting, especially since I'm so out of shape. Still far better than my old job and I expect the daily routine, once I settle in, to be fairly comfortable.
Part time for now but I wouldn't mind some full time. Hoping to be there for at least a few months, sorta to evaluate it. After that who knows?
Talk more about that some other time.
My wounds from the appendectomy have sealed over and are just raised scars at this point. Feels fine. Been out for walks and stuff and the bit of exercise I've gotten at the new job have caused me zero problems.
Good to go.
Been drawing and doodling rarely but I do have some stuff I could post in scraps. I'll try to keep it in mind and cobble it together later today but in all likelihood I'ma eat and pass out again. :0
Wondering if I should do a sketch dump thing or just individual images? Leaning toward individual.
See you guys.

Healing up fine
Posted 6 years agoDoing alright after my appendectomy. Was apparently lucky enough not to catch cold or flu while at the hospital.
Been getting up and walking around a lot more though my belly muscles have been complaining a lot. In time they'll chill out and I'll hopefully be able to sit more comfortably in my office chair here for longer amounts of time.
Hope everyone's doing alright. I keep getting more followers on twitter and FA here. Glad to have it.
Still feel like I gotta prove myself. Really I just wanna get back to drawing cartoons getting put inside other cartoons, like I've often said. :y
Love it.

Appendix begone
Posted 6 years agoWas working on a few things, planned on doing an inking stream this weekend, something chill for hangouts.
But that's postponed a little bit until I can sit properly again. Dec 3rd at like 4 AM my gut started feeling really weird. I waited it out 'til 7 before deciding that yeah, something was wrong. Went to emergency. Couple hours later my appendix was out. Spent the night in the ward and now I'm at home with pain meds and antibiotics. Should be a relatively easy recovery.
Surgeon described my appendix as "ugly, almost gangrenous". I've often had stomach issues but the last thing I expected was acute appendicitis. Haha. >.>
I should be back in shape in a week or two, maybe? I need to recover enough to sit up in my chair with my tablet. Currently I have to recline for comfort because currently my entire abdomen hurts like fuck, and even then I can only sit here for a short while before I start getting fatigued.
Anyway, about the art I was making.. I was trying to make three things to ink and flat color on stream. It was intended to be a bit of a test stream as well since I've never done it before. I only have two rough sketches so far but they still needed a bit of work. I'll revisit them when I'm ready and get things moving again.
Cheers, dudes.

Looking forward
Posted 7 years agoThe week and my meetings are coming to an end. Looking forward to resting up and drawing.
The plan this weekend is to doodle and shit around like usual and eventually end up with a thing or two to post.
But I don't mind sharing some ideas that have been rattling around in my head while I've been out. It may be a bit spoilery in terms of... pleasant surprise or something but eh, seeing is believing.
Just giving you a heads up if you'd rather wait awhile, assuming I do these in reasonable time.
--SPOILERS I GUESS--
A)A short no-dialogue comic involving Sonic shrinking and voring some rando. Dunno how yet. Probably up the bunge. :0
I can kinda see what I want in my head but if you've ever drawn you know how hazy that stuff can be.
B)Quick one-off thing of a macro girl pressing a micro into her cheek with a big pleasant smile so you think "aw cute", and then she says something really crude.
C)This is more of a general theme for multiple drawings-- dumb misleading jokes where it sounds like something lewd is going to happen in one frame and then in the next it's not lewd at all. Holding a tiny in one hand her other hand lowers down. "My pussy is SO hungry..."
And then she's just pouring out some kibble for her cat. OBVIOUSLY.
Because I'm a hilarious fella and I enjoy dumb shit. :>
And those are just examples of things I've thought of.
I'd also like to do something with Homestuck. It's been awhile. Hopefully not a spread legs thing again, maybe something a bit different or unusual. But who knows.

New fun.
Posted 7 years agoBeen feeling pretty good lately you know. Spent some time recently drawing some people's cool art from reference, trying to learn a little from it. Some folks out there have really good form, or they're really expressive. Or maybe it's the lines or color or other interesting stylistic things.
In my recent thing I added a white stroke around the art to sorta make it pop a bit against that basic background. Not bad, certainly better that way than with the other not very good BGs I could have used.
Been more focused on structure and planning the last little while in my doodles. It's nice when I go from one or two sketches to final sketch but sometimes it takes several more exploratory sketches to arrive somewhere interesting. It's a fun new way for me to brainstorm or work through issues.
I've traditionally had issues with structure and planning things out, instead more focused on doodling more for fun quick fun and amusement rather than challenge.
I need to get a little more sleep but I'll try to get some of the recent sketches together and post them to scraps soon.
I'd like to do a process video sometime. I have an idea for another silly drawing. Might set up for that.
Maybe this weekend though. I'm busy every day this week at meetings. :u

Exodus
Posted 7 years agoTumblr seems to wanna sac half its userbase for lifespan so we'll see how that goes.
I mean... it's not about porn sometimes, you know. It's about adults in an adult space doing adult things. Entertainment, expression, posting or viewing some pictures, having a chat. You can still have all that but it's just less fun.
Anyway, I've been updating my new twitter with some old art. I'll try to draw new stuff soon and keep things moving. I've already been drawing lately but it's not size stuff at all. Lots of doodling and other exercises.
I'm gonna throw some stuff on here too. It takes awhile to do all this stuff. I was surprised how long it took me to post like ten images on twitter.
Funny that my previous journal post on here was about how I was using tumblr more often.

That Homestuck finale tho
Posted 9 years agoWell, geez.
I'm a big fan and all but that was kind of a limp ending if I'm honest. >.>
Oh well. Won't stop me from drawing porn of it.
And then not posting any of it because I'm kind of a baby.

Merry Christmas, Happy New Year!
Posted 11 years agoNo excuses. I haven't had much drive to draw this past year. I've been sick several times which certainly didn't help but I've also been exercising and stuff.
ANYWAY, Merry Christmas. It's been a good year otherwise. I feel pretty good tonight. Gonna have some dinner tomorrow with the family and all that. While it cooks I think I'll draw. Just something to get back into shape, a bit of exercise if you will, after a long stretch of languor.
I've watched my followers dwindle a little bit but that's alright. I just aimed to entertain whomever was looking my way and that is still my goal.
So tonight we'll see where that takes me.
I hope you guys all have a peaceful holiday. We've muddled through another year together.
Now we'll see where 2015 takes us.

Workin'
Posted 11 years agoYup, still been at work. I've been popping by FA every day but I don't have much to say I guess.
Summer and fall are usually pretty busy. Winter slows everything down for a bit but no big deal if I've got a bunch of money saved.
I've doodled only a little bit in the last couple of months. Just too tired when I get home.
Anyway, thanks for keeping your eyes on me. If there's a temporary work shortage or lay-off period I'll be sure to get back to drawing. I feel pretty good about it lately.
