Royal Wedding Shoot (Textless Version)

Yassss, this is finally done. Also, got my shot, my arm is already getting sore so I've gotta get these three posts out fast.

If you're new here or you've been here forever, you may have noticed I tend to have an idea of a story behind most of my stuff. I love what if scenarios, cooking up my own crazy storylines and just messing with normal dynamic relationships with characters. 

The base idea is what if the problems with the Changelings was ultimately ...

Update: Stream is being moved to tomorrow.

So I'm going through the external hard drive and I'm like:

"Huh, that's weird, I could have sworn there was more folders here.. Wait. There's like 40gigs missing! Where's my reference photos?!"

Right click, properties, scan drive.

[There are no errors detected but would you like to scan anyway?]

"Uh, yeah!"

No errors.

Time for a trip downstairs to ye olde family computer that operates on windows 7.

Scan it there, and scan for and attempt rec...

A "Little" Mermaid

"Did you lose, this?"

Why are mermaids always depicted as small and dainty? I like to imagine that a mermaid, technically a fish, would continue to grow the longer they're alive. If they're mostly unopposed in the waters, wouldn't they just keep eating and continue to grow? Wouldn't they grow to be over a mile long like our mystical friend here?   

There's less hours in a day than I think there are.. That, and I kept going, "but what if I added anot...

RWS 1-6

About the image set above:

I wanted to mess around with size types and kind of just have fun with mass. I still need to change facial expressions, add the dialogue, alter one thing in particular on part 6, resize the canvas, and then it's prepped for color.

The bad news: 

The catch up weeks were a failure. I was burning out, I lost work, my pc died, I had three full blown panic attacks. I didn't get nearly as much work do...

God, I love this thing! (New PC)

She's a huge beast!


And we are a go! I transfered over some things that I could save and I can finally draw digitally again. I know my cable management is terrible but I'll fix it in a few days. For now, I want to draw.

About the old rig:

The old rig is very dead. Basically the psu malfunctioned and the safety failings on the motherboard, well, they failed, and in turn let the pc start up when there...

New PC is up and running. It took literally all day

It's about 2:30am (PST) I'm going to bed. The pc is built, it's connected, it's FINALLY running. I've installed OBS, Sai 1 and 2 and that's it so far. I'll be pulling the the SSD and the HDD from the old computer because that thing just straight up died on me about a day and a half ago. I have to import my brushes and some basic stuff and then I can get to uploading. I will say it has been a bit of a trainwreck this week but I did manage to get some stuff done. 

Quick qu...

A Missed Opportunity - Part 2

A follow up of sort to the pic up on FA. 

I'll be posting the whole batch of projects next Saturday. I've got a lot of work to do until then. 

The parts are all almost here, I'm missing the graphics card and it still says it's processing so we'll see. I'll keep you all posted. 

Retsuko

Enjoy Retsuko's "little" wardrobe malfunction!

So I lost about a day of work on Tuesday and that pretty much just sucked my soul out of me for Wednesday. I've been jumping seats between this pc and Sweet's to get stuff done.. I wanted to do a mass post today but there isn't exactly too much to post like I wanted. Between the instability of this pc and having lost more work, I'm just in a low morale slump at the moment. I'm jumping between projects because it's the only way th...

Calendar April 2021

Ello!

If I'm missing anything from this year, let me know down below, please. Also feel free to comment if you have any questions or concerns. 

Catch Up Weeks (March 28th - April 10th)

Okay, after having talked with SweetPotatoPie, we decided it would be best to spend the next two weeks playing catch up. So from when I wake up to when I go to bed, I'll be working on one project at a time and plowing through them that way until we're back on t...

Another one

Kind back on Rae and BB for sketching rn. Wish I had taken a photo before I had started inking because I kind of liked that one better..

My brain is a little fried at the moment but the calendar is coming up right after this one and then it's back to work.

Late night doodle

I'm a teensy bit apprehensive about powering up my old pc atm even though I'm like 85% sure nothing will happen. So I sketched up this tonight to keep active and kinda brush up on some traditional drawing. In other news, later today I'll be going over the outcome of this month with Sweets and she'll help me organize next months calendar to be more focused since she's pretty on top of things like planning.

The way my brain works is a lot like trying to herd cats. It jumps all over the p...

Moxxi (WIP)

So I tackled this again last night and it was fun, got farther than I thought I would. I'll try and do flats for it in the next few days. 

Little Sister - Bioshock (WIP)

I was working on this last night along with lining something else that I'll post in minute. I'll have more to share in the next day or so.

An important decision was made(Good/Bad News)

Let me just start this off by saying nothing bad has happened, at least on the scale that it normally would. Just a creeping tech issue. Long story short, I'm making a new computer because I keep getting blue screens on my main one and I can't figure out why and I'm using my stimulus check to pay for it. It hurt my soul to come to that decision considering our financial situation. The blue screen has happened about 6 times by now.

Because of it, there's no stream today but I am recordin...

Purging

The Dropbox folder for the majority of my old stuff is here! 

The purge is complete. I didn't delete absolutely everything from before January 2020 but I kept the things I don't want to forget. 

------------------------------EDIT--------------------------------------------

Hey, so heads up, before I star...

Moira Brown

Ello! 

Have a little of my favorite NPC from Fallout 3! Would you try Buffout Ultra? 

I was looking over my files and what I need to get done, what I need to actually finish before I start on new stuff and it's more than I thought. Well, not too bad but it's slowly piling up. 

I'll be taking over Sweet's streams on the 25th, and 31st. The 25th is now the make up anatomy stream and the 31st will be a public stream and the both of them will be at regular schedul...

Poll #5 - Zarya

What a win! Zarya carried the team to victory that round and now it's time to kick back and celebrate.

Wolf's Blood AUI Page 1

Ello!

Welcome to An Unconventional Introduction for Wolf's Blood! This'll be a chance to meet some key characters and poke some fun at my crummy old designs of some other characters. 

So I meant to post this when we got back but the vaccine packed a little more punch than I was expecting. Sweets was able to do the flats selections for me and I was able to finish it off. Normally I'd keep this one to be locked away for a week but I really wanted to post it.  2021-03-22 10:24:29 +0000 UTC View Post

4 works in progress

The guy came by pretty late, but that's okay because we're back online! :D

Sweets is going to be working on doing some flats for me later today. Right now me and her are off to get vaccinated. So we'll see what they suggest afterwards. 

So my router is dead (update)

So the "soonest" we'll have assistance is this Sunday at 10am with a new router and "guided installation" via a "trained associate."

I'm a little bitter, I can admit that, but like 4 days is kind of longer than I was expecting. I'll just upload what I have done on Sunday whenever they're done so stay tuned until then.



---------------------edit-----------------------

Ello, I am back, I slept all day yesterday and it was glorious.

I sit down today to start ...

YCH Pose 3

Time got away from me, I'll work on pose #4 while I'm on the road. I'm sure I'm forgetting somethings though so I'll set reminder as they come to me for when I'm back. 

Poll #5 - Zarya (WIP)

Hey, so I'm not going to have as much time as I thought I was going to. I leave at 5AM on Saturday, not 5PM. So this will be finished when I come back from the trip. I'll set the recordings to upload overnight. Unfortunately I won't get to finish up the linework for the Character Icon sheet this week. Oh! and I have one of the YCH poses done, I'll see if I can line the next one in the morning over coffee or it'll have to be a split reveal. I am taking my sketchbooks so I'll be drawing while I...

Poll #5 Winner - Zarya

Zarya and Chun Li were tied so with the help of PickerWheel, Zarya has been decided. I'll be working on that today along with trying to get ready for next week. 

Today's Stream Results! (03/07/2021)

I had a lot of fun working on this today. The grass was a huge pain at first but once I set it as two layers, it started to work. My favorite parts are the sky and Feng Min's butt. I included the dirty version of the Huntress as well since she's pretty much covered in dirt in the game.

Oh! In other news, I'll be working on the Character Icons Sheet for Wolf's Blood tomorrow instead of starting the character sheets. I only have like 94 of the 120 faces sketched out so I'm going to make ...

Now Streaming on Picarto!

Going to be coloring the Huntress from Dead by Daylight

Come watch! 

Poll Winners From Polls 1-4

For those who might have missed previous posts of the winners here's 1 through 4. Downloads below. Poll 5 is live, so go vote if you haven't.

I was a little frustrated yesterday when I went to look over the lineworks for the characters. I thought I had done the linework for Alice but hadn't so I spent yesterday tweaking that and laying the flats. I was hoping to have some background started for these so I could pass these to Sweets when she get the time but I'm on my own this month. She...

Moira Brown

This is what I was able to get to today. Snagged on the head for awhile, it was just driving me up the wall but it looks so much better now than when I started it. I still have to do the veins and clothing versions but for now I'm happy. 

Pointless tidbit: In my teens, when Fallout 3 first came out, Moira Brown was my favorite NPC in the entire game. So positive in such a crazy messed up world.
