MbK preview June 29th

I haven't forgotten about the misbegotten! There will be a bit more of Nelson coming soon.

Lady Ternera, basic model and idle pose

These few frames took unacceptably long to get done, because these last weeks I've pretty much invested all of my time in studying Italian. But I'll try to work harder from now on - I got a whole free week before the next level starts, so I better make the best of it.

This is playing at just 10 FPS, which doesn't look great, but lets me keep sprite sheets manageable. However, I can increase it to 15 FPS if you guys think it looks too jumpy - 15 FPS is what GBA used, I've read.

Either way...

The dragon of Megaleia

Behold, the dragon boss of the Megaleia level! I had to change its color when the picture was already finished, because it didn't quite fit my original idea.

More supporting characters

And here is the last batch of supporting characters, for now:

• King Carnero is the ruler of the Citadel of Cornamenta. When his son Prince Cordero is kidnapped by witch Sorcia, he'll entrust his rescue to his knight Lady Ternera.
• Huge is the leader of a band of kobolds who are trying to invade the Kingdom of Gamusinea.
• Marrán is a demon general at the service of witch Sorcia, tasked with destroying her before she can rescue Prince Cordero.

But are these alli...

Big freaking dragon

Hello, my lovely patrons! I have been really busy the last few days because of real life stuff - namely, I'm now studying Italian for some reason. But I'm still working hard on the CowHammer project and Misbegotten Kittens.

Here's a preview of one of the level bosses of the game. This was supposed to be just a quick reference image, but it came out so well I want to make it a full quality image.

Supporting characters

Here are some of the supporting characters of the CowHammer story.

• Raspy is a kobold bard that can be found in Vecino forest.
• Alimaña is a stealthy thief.
• Ginés is the royal engineer at King Carnero's service.
• Tiberia is a librarian monk at the Temple of Ágonos.
• Sir Richard is one of King Carnero's bravest knights.
• Ciégula is one of the creatures that plague Alamano Cave.

Which of them will help Lady Ternera and which will she ...

CowHammer levels

Good news, my beloved supporters! I've kept improving CowHammer's text font system and I've finished writing down the whole story. It wasn't easy, as it will be quite convoluted, and sadly I can't share much without giving a lot of spoilers that would completely ruin the game experience.

1. Citadel of Cornamenta: optional tutorial level, a luscious fortified city that you can explore and learn about the lore of the game.

2. Vecino Forest: Here you meet y...

Sorcia

I couldn't help it, I love designing characters too much, so I made this one in just a few hours. Sorcia will be the main antagonist of CowHammer.

CowHammer text font

In order to avoid copyright issues, I plan to do everything for the game my self, including fonts and possibly even sounds and music. The main font of the game was drawn as a bitmap image and the programming for handling it is now complete. I can write anything I want and it even adds linebreaks when required.

That weird text in Spanish is just a non-sensical pangram, used to show Spanish characters - the game will be both in Spanish and English.

Tigba

Another member of the CowHammer crew, probably the most important NPC in the story. Lady Ternera will meet her early in the game and the outcome of her quest will depend on this elf lady.

Prince Cordero

Another main character of the CowHammer story, Lady Ternera's fiancé Prince Cordero. Just a few more to go!

Lady Ternera

It begins now!

As a new academic year starts and I'm flooded with teacher work, I will focus my artistic efforts in a single long-term project, aimed to help me train and display my skills as character designer, animator and game programmer. Blogs and commissions will not be paused during the development of this project, though.

CowHammer is the story of a bovine knightess who must rescue her fiancé after he is kidnapped by an evil witch. During her journey, she will need to enlist alli...

A* and directed graphs

These are the bits I discarded from the autonomous navigation lesson. I thought they didn't really add much to the main topic, so I decided to remove them from the animation.

Autonomous navigation

After an insane amount of time, I finally finished it! Shout-outs to my friend PalmarianFire for teaching me how to  synchronize audio on Adobe Flash. Also, the audio is worse than in the previous lesson because my video editor decided so and I could not convince it otherwise.

Thank you all so much for your support!

Base animation finished

At last, this lesson took absurdly long to make and won't look nearly as good as the first one, due to the higher complexity of its topic. I will now start preparing the video so I can post it on YouTube. Hopefully it'll be done later today. Please, let me know if you don't want to be in the patrons list or if I missed your name - only patrons with confirmed payments have been added.

Once this is over, I will immediately start my next project, and this one will be a HUGE one I'm really looking...

Furrnion2018

I'll be leaving for Madrid in a few hours for Furrnion2018, where I'll be hugging furries, selling art and having a good time. You can follow the whole adventure in real time at my Twitter. See you next week!

Voronoi graph

Thanks to my friend PalmarianFire's help, I managed to fix a dumb Flash problem that was making it impossible for me to finish my second Robotics lesson, so we're finally back on track!

I trimmed a few minutes of the lesson, since I'm not confident enough in my ability to explain the A* algorithm and I don't think directed graphs would really add much anyway.

This frame belongs to a sequence that took the whole freaking day to manually compute and animate, but it was absolutely worth it....

MbK 218-227

New update! Nelson finally gets to do Nelson stuff.

Miss Iris

I made this one on my tablet, to practice to take commissions at the Furrnion. It was a total mess, my wacom didn't work properly until I had already finished the whole line-art, but I finally got it working. So whatever I make at the con, will surely look better than this one.

Irina and Mylu

Time for a little WIP! I suppose you didn't expect to see Irina naked today. Or smiling, for that matter. She only is either of those things when close to cute girls, of which my friend Zephyr Skunk's alien otter Mylu is one.

I'm sorry that I had to keep it censored this time. WIPs are Patreon exclusive posts, and if I don't keep them SFW, I have to mark them as only for patrons, which counts as a paywall and leaks gets justified. Until I get the pay-upfront option, this will have to do.

I got Twitter

Hey, guys! I got me a Twitter account to post news about any new art and projects I work on, including conventions and such. Follow me there if you wish to know everything I do artwise.

MbK preview April 4th

Uh oh! It appears that Nelson has gotten himself in quite a pickle.

Paying upfront

Well, darn it. It appears that I don't get that feature in my Patreon account yet, so I can't keep things fair and avoid the many many scammers that I get monthly. My art will keep getting leaked out.

It's a pity, but I can keep my old system until I get the feature too: good paying patrons get discounts on all commissions and can ask for free sketches, which will be posted here and, if NSWF, also on FA so leaks are pointless.

I will also keep posting WIP images of my pictures, comics an...

Fun with gloves

I felt like drawing something cute and clean.

They're having sex afterwards tho.

MbK preview March 30th

A little batch of panels is ready to be posted, but I'd rather make it bigger so I don't have to keep you waiting to know what's going to happen next. I will continue posting WIPs and teasers until I can dump a sizeable batch onto the interwebs.

Dragoness

Another RP character for today's sketch. Keeping them daily is rather draining, so I might change that for weekly, proper full quality pictures. Because I don't draw much for myself lately.

Octostoat

Another character I made for my RPs. There are dozens of these, so I'm not running out of ideas for daily sketches any time soon.

MbK preview March 27th

The plot thickens and the end of Nelson's adventure approaches. Everything will soon be explained. If I can do it properly.

Rat girl

Let's give those daily sketches a try! I love making up characters and this is one of my latest. I haven't quite decided which name to give her, but she'll be a genetically enhanced civil protection agent at Esperanza. Big, strong, cheerful, friendly and very sex positive. Maybe we'll see more of her soon, if you guys like her!

Remember that you can suggest ideas for sketches involving any of my characters, and they may be NSFW if you wish. Starting next month, there will be a lot more porn he...

Lady Ana and her squire

I made a huge print for the upcoming medieval-themed Furrnion 2018, starring the two official mascots, Doña Ana and Bertín. The picture took a lot of effort, it will be auctioned there and half its profits will go to an animal shelter. The final version will be posted by May, after the con, but for now this is the line-art.
