April pin-ups POLL

Hey my dear patrons!

Time to vote for the next 2 pin-ups! As I was told, I give you the faces & illustrations I quickly put together to give you a hint of who is in the race. As before, you can vote for multiple names. Let's go till April 1st for the votes!

Kind. (Step by step Vid)

I left the early part where you see the storyboard come to life, then the creation of this panel from it, til the last hatching. That's almost the same for all the panels for some time now, I have a good flow with the digital process, yay!

Hard Hump Again?! (NSFWish)

A bit of testing here: I took the course of a lesson on the butt construction with Proko, decided to finish up the complete figure, and then tried another way to give the shadows, with a weird brush in Procreate!

The figure isn't easy, all the more with this method, gotta corrected it several times & I guess I could keep on working on it, ha!

Pin-ups suggestions #04

I feel loved & happy with many new patrons this month! Thanks a lot to all of you, welcome on board!

Just as I posted your latest pin-up, it's time to suggest new names for the incoming poll for april pin-ups! We need the 2 famous characters I'm gonna draw this march. Feel free to put in the comments here, or send me a Private Message to give me entries. It can be any famous character or people, from whatever media, serie, comic, movie, games, etc.<...

Patrons Pin-up #06 Wes Chatham (NSFW sketches)

Oh I'm so glad you voted for him, guys! The pose comes from a real one of the actor in the tv-serie "The Expanse" & the head more like from the 5th season (I didn't see it yet, just finished the 4th), as he's grown a serious beard throughout the storyline.

Got a really good idea of the final rendering, it's gonna take time so you're gonna witness the major stages, as we did before for Kratos. I hope you like it, hehe!

The Chronicles of Nimo 01 - p06 (version noire)

There's really something with the warden's face in panel 3: from the sketch I showed weeks ago to the inking to the color version, I got a special crush on that one!

On another note, I was fond of the global tattoo I designed, but in this special pose in panel 5 I feel it could have been better: I didn't *see* it from the top in my mind, I'm not sure about the stripes it draws here.

Still love the contrast naked skin Vs. leather but it won't last long, I guess. ^^

Rough Hump Hump!! (NSFW)

Well, you don't see it at first, like a train can hide another one XD

I played a bit with highlights on sepia filter with this old sketch for the throw back thursday. I like how I insisted on some parts, where was my attention. ^^

Side S*x Hump (NSFW)

A mix of my current technics & what you saw me tried last week! Oh, and when being on Photoshop I decided to add quick colors.

Happy Hump Day, from the side! ;-)

The Chronicles of Nimo - 01 - Storyboard p06

The storyboard is here especially close to the final page, I really had it in mind & new what I wanted to draw. Only the 4th panel was a bit complicated, I wanted to have the move, impact, the right way, hehe!

LUST in Space! (NSFW)

As you may know, a certain Nick Jonas inspired a character starring in the 2nd chapter of the comic series "LUST". To celebrate the release of his new album "Spaceman", I decided to post this panel from page 21 on the networks, and here in HD as you didn't see before, and in full as I had to crop some parts like the foot!

Funny thing: I didn't remember making him almost strangling his top! XD

Patrons Pin-up #04 Chris Redfield (Step by step Vid)

A nice creative process of this lovely pin-up you chose!

I enjoyed the dynamic posing, and, for a change, to create a quick background ;-)

Balls Bells Bump (NSFW)

An original & very *round* humpday! Basically you have some classic digital inking, but I decided here to play around with a somewhat painty effect for quick shadows & even background. 

Experimenting, as usual, interesting contrast between clear ink & rough shading!

Patrons Pin-up #04 Chris Redfield (NSFW sketches)

A very special treat for you all with this fanart you voted for: the full naked version! I did have to draw him all naked before dressing him up (well, partly), so you got the original with no background, and the (very rough) background + balloons.

Still love the dynamic pose, and dat shoulder! :-P

Drawing characters #115 (Step by step Vid)

The complete process, you can spot when I did draw the clothing on him, but we all know we rather see him this way! 

Although I do like the coloring I did there, it's so far from what my professional buddy create with the pages, ha! It's a very loved artwork, also on the social networks. I'd like to see this reborn in the comic, I keep that in mind!

Patrons Pin-up #05 Tom Hardy Vs. Venom (NSFW ink)

As I mentionned before, back in the days I had an idea for a fanart with the actor & the character, but it was NOT as hardy as that one! XD It was more like a double portrait with Venom behind talking naughty to a shocked Eddie. Well, it's almost the same thing actually, although Venom put his words to... direct action!

Technically I worked in Procreate & reworked the fx playing with the layers in Photoshop. I thought about a colored version first, but struggling with the cross-...

The Chronicles of Nimo 01 - p05 (version noire)

This is gonna be a little game here: I made a mistake when sending to my colorist, can you spot it? Fortunately I could correct things out before posting the final colored version, hehe!

In this one, I studied the foreplay around leather: the touch, the feel, the licking & bitting. In the black & white version, the contrast between the naked body & the leather suit is striking.

The last panel speaks itself about how much I love drawing the character with all the detail...

Bubble Butty tan line (NSFW)

I did draw a heavy body there, in a very bumpy sketchy way! There's a very arousing thing with tan lines, especially in drawings :-)

A graphite throw back thursday from the vault!

Hump Dressing (Nsfwish)

Back to the humpday celebrations, folks! 

You know sometimes when you struggle to take off a clothing (like because it's a bit tiny for you or you're getting bigger!), you end up twisting around with the piece of fabric all messed up.

This artwork makes me think of that situation, hehehe!

On another note, it's rare I perform armpits from the back, it's nicer on the front, yay!

The Chronicles of Nimo - 01 - Storyboard p05

This looks done very quick and I guess it was, actually haha! Most of the time I picture the storyboard in my head & it goes pretty fast. I knew I would have trouble with the last panel, as it's wide & the head has a special angle. 

Finally it's my fav part of the page, ha!

Dynamic bodies sketching practice (NSFW)

During last month, I worked hard on the storyline, the forthcoming pages for "The Chronicles of Nimo". I also watched some cool video tutorials, especially thinking of dynamic posing. You'll see the reason why before the end of the chapter, hehe!

The interesting way here is, unlike most of my art, I didn't use any reference: I put my imagination & what I've learned to draw movement. It's a very cool training, risky but liberating. I'm gonna need more of these to get the skills neede...

Prisoner suit sexploding! (Step by step Vid)

This short video shows how I worked this specific panel: as it's full page I also placed the 2 other panels to compose the whole thing. I trusted my artist colorist to render the special fx on the costume parts exploding!

March pin-ups POLL

Hey my dear patrons!

I'll be back at posting soon. I worked hard, not enough time to do everything I wished for, but it helped a bit. 

Time to VOTE for the 2 pin-ups I'm gonna draw for ya all in march. Lots of choice, hehehe! You can vote for multiple names. Let's give it until march 1st, and I'll start drawing the first one ;-)

Pin-ups suggestions #03

I forgot to launch the suggestions earlier the previous week, so here it is. Before coming back in march, I will organize the VOTE the last week of february to have the 2 winners at the beginning of march :-)

Just like before: suggest the 2 famous characters I'm gonna draw this march. Feel free to put in the comments here, or send me a Private Message to give me entries. It can be any famous character or people, from whatever media, serie, comic, movie, games, etc.

Drawing characters #113 (Step by step Vid)

This one was hard to handle, you can see I changed several times the position, and I still feel something's off with this illustration. Butt this remains a nice view, a nice pose!

Eye contact on the knees (NSFW sketch)

Won't leave you without a preview of what's heading for our characters in the Nimo comic, but some of you might have guessed, hehe! I detailled a bit more the sketch here, especially the eyes & the beard.

I did pose some men this way before in the LUST comic series, I guess in chapter 2, but this angle seems much more intimate, and I love we get to see some lovely butt on the foreground, hehe! Plus the eye contact, meaning a lot in this situation.

The Chronicles of Nimo - 01 - Storyboard p04

The old me would be so ashamed to show you the pre-production stage of a page looking this way, but now it's really a whole view of where a creator starts to go all the way to the final comic page.

The remarkable simple drawing of panel 5 enhances how I was more interested in what's going on before, hehe! The worst being the balloons, unreadable, HA! XD

A little break next month

Hey my dear patrons,

A special post to announce I'm gonna pause my posting on the page for the complete month of february. That means, of course, none of you guys will be charged in the beginning of the month. You have nothing to do, and the Patreon system will go back to normal on march the 2nd. I'll be posting again march the 1st.

It's the first time ever I take *vacation* from Patreon, for years now, and I discovered the option thanks to Patrick. It's gonna be a good time for m...
