Last artwork for 2021! ✨ Didn't feel like drawing the last days, but now I suddenly had to paint a tiger.
Maybe my blouse inspired me?
It will be MY year after all! (according to Chinese zodiac)
I don't feel like making any crazy resolutions, the last two years have left me exhausted enough already. Instead I wish for warmth and time for naps with my cats.
May your 2022 be...
In the spirit of this year coming to an end it seems appropriate to celebrate New Year's Eve in lingerie and probably in bed.
2020 has been a lot. I made too many goals and failed at so many of them, some thanks to surprise pandemic and others because I completely underestimated the concept of time and energy. But other than that this year has been incredibly kind to me, considering the circumstances. Starting full-time freelancing in midst of a global pandemic has, surprisingly, worked...

Hey Patrons!
I saw this gorgeous photo by @nomorecherrypie on Instagram and just had to draw her! Drawn on watercolor paper with Polychromos pencils, Pentel Pocket Brush and wine red acrylic ink.
Hope you have a sexy monday!

Some of you who have followed me for a long, long time, might remember this piece from #InkTober 2014:
Sometimes you just draw something and you keep on loving it for years after. This became one of those pieces.
I always loved how in the Sailor Moon anime series Usagi was constantly dreaming of food. It is very relatable to me. And that's why I also always imagined her to be chubbier tha...

I have so much to do... but I have drawn this naked lady instead. 😂
All work and no play makes Asu a dull artist.

While my #KINKtober posts are getting more and more horny, for the "lingerie" prompt I wanted to change things up a bit and draw something more cozy. To me warmth and comfort are an important part of sexyness. So here's a comfy LOUNGErie witch enjoying autumn, a good spell book and the company of her kitty familiar.
I also tried to experiment with black dramatic shadows a bit. I really enjoyed drawing this one.

Remember how I planned for this series to be quick and flowy? Well, this drawing was the opposite of that. I don't know if it's me or the weather or the art gods not being on my side, but I struggled so unnecessary much with this one, it makes me kinda aggressive.
The poses did not want to work, I started over several times after my paper being all spongy from too much erasing. There's a foot coming out the right witches' butt. The freckles did not turn out the way I would ideally want ...

To celebrate this I finally edited my drawing process. Now you can watch about 4-5 hours...

Everyone is talking about the next Batman movie, but all I can think about is Poison Ivy (who is most probably not in the movie). I often think about Poison Ivy, it's a mix between "I want to be her" and "I want to be WITH her". Do you know this feeling with fictional characters?
So I got a little carried away with this "extended" master study....

I am stuck in a neverending client job and almost forgot how to draw for myself. So I tried again just to remind myself and not to get too miserable. I sat there with a pen and a completely empty head and had absolutely no idea what to draw... and what drawing is in general...
But just recently I have filled our apartment and balcony with lavender, so throughout the day I sometimes get surprised by a subtle lavender smell.

Hey awesome people!
Today was a mix of news: On the bad side my most favorite event every year, Trojan Horse Was A Unicorn, officially got cancelled this year. Most of us were already expecting this to happen, but it's still a bit heartbreaking to have a definite NO. But they are planning some exciting online events in the meantime and I can highly recommend you to check them out. For me this series of events has be...

Finally! The third and final part for this "Art Block Diary": here are some things that actually helped me. Maybe it can be helpful to you as well. (Like being swallowed by darkness, getting out does not happen overnight, so be kind and patient with yourself)
Thank you so much for all your heartwarming comments on this series. I know many of us struggle with similar issues, that's why I think it's so important to talk about them. Please take care of yourselves!
❤️ Asu Rocks
I am sorry for posting another downer, but I feel like it is important to understanding the cycle. I am looking forward to the next part though and drawing more uplifting things!

This is something I always wanted to share, but struggled to find the right format to talk about it... But I will try it like this for now and we will see how it works.
Like most of us, I had many "art blocks" and some full grown "art crises" (which easily become or fuel "life crises"). After surviving them I felt like I learned a little more about myself and how it came this far. This is why I want to try and retell some of those learnings, so they might help others who find themselves i...
Dear patrons,
my life is nice right now, but business is terrible. Everything is delayed, partially due to Corona craziness, partially due to my own overwhelm/confusion. I found out that I cannot safely send merchandise to the US right now and an original artwork I had sent months ago seems to be lost forever. Sigh.
Sometimes I just need to forget all of that and draw some mer-babes and mer-dudes. It's #mermay after all. I used one of my favorite inks: J. Herbin 1670 Emeraud...

Last night's supermoon was so beautiful, I had to dig out my old DSLR with a telephoto lens and snap a pic!

Hello Patrons and not-yet-Patrons!
This is a public post with all the cool stuff people might be missing out on.
This month's limited edition illustration for "Total Eclipse" will be Aries. But because I was so late on finishing the previous month's Pisces illustration (the wet ladies above) this month I make an exception that you can choose between both. So if you sign up for "Total Eclipse" you will get a fine art print of the Pisces OR Aries il...

I am adding a bit more to this illustration and will post it on social media when done,but until then you have early access. ;3

My Etsy store is open again! This time you get the chance to buy some limited edition fine art prints of beautiful Burlesque dancers.
I am all about combining fun and "work". I always loved going to Burlesque shows and admiring the gorgeous dancers on stage. As you might know, it has inspired a lot of art already. Now I decided to make a special collection with some of the amazing performers I have seen. 2020-02-15 12:23:09 +0000 UTC View Post
It is done! The new Patreon design and tiers are LIVE and I even made an awkward video intoducing them! Hope you enjoy it. I feel like I am terribly bad at this and also I might have been pronouncing the word "tier" wrong my entire life, but this is what we have to live with now. XD
In case you actually enjoy it: I will make more videos for my Patreon supporters from now on. I will try myself at a monthly newsletter. But feel free to tell me what you would like to see. I hope that event...

Here I am, back in the internet's warm embrace!I must say: the exile felt really good! Especially for someone like me who felt the pressure to post new art way too often and it sometimes made me not enjoy the process. Taking a step back helped a ton.
Also not having to participate in Social Media made it easier to survive my last weeks at InnoGames, my full-time employer for the last 5 years! Actually it was also my 5 Year Anniversary last week, so I got rewarded with this golden dude:<...

Dear patrons and everyone else reading this post,
this year is coming to the end and this time it feels like a real milestone. Some months ago I made a big step and resigned from my full-time job in a mobile game company after 5 years of working there. It has been an interesting time, but now I don't feel like I can grow in this pot anymore and I need a new one (I am a delicate plant, you know). In January my contract ends and I will be making my way as a full-time freelance artist!

I never have time to work on my comic project, but it is still in my heart and one day people will be able to read it!
Here are some style studies for my main character Kohanna. If you forgot or don't know her yet: she's a 29 year old woman struggling with adult life, getting drunk after work and living with her cat. That's all pretty normal so far. But one day a bottle of magical red wine appears on her doorstep...
Until then enjoy some sketches of her casual outfits in casual ...
I re-watched "Who framed Roger Rabbit" and just had to sketch her!
I also wanted to explore some "off time" Jessica having a cozy evening on the couch with her husband.... Roger is hard to draw though!!
Have you watched the movie? Do you still like it or do you think it did not age well?

First of all the good news: There will be a Christmas postcard!! And EVERYONE of my Patrons of the post months can have one, no matter the reward tier! Just send me a message with your address (if I don't have it already). I just want to thank you for supporting me. ♥
Slightly bad news: The postcards will most probably not arrive in time for Christmas because of printing issues. Boooo!

Some of you know I had a blog for over 10 years, but recently I rarely had time to post anything there and thanks to the new EU data protection laws I would have had to rework maaaaany things in it. So I closed it, for now. I am taking this chance to rework the whole site, but busy as I am this might take a while.
