Tiger Poll for February
Character ReferenceNetto | Tupradu | Master TigressIt's upon us. Year of the Tiger. Now's your time to force me to animate a Tiger.I have included an Asura as it would be strange for me not to at least give that as an option.Personally, I'm hoping this is a close race between Master Tigress and my own OC Tiger, who I am giving the name "Tupradu" for now so I don't have to keep naming her "Tiger".
Tabba 01 + Bonus
Florans really are a bit weird to draw.Sstill, Floran did well in the poll. Floran get drawing.
Kekaja and Lyra 01 + Bonus + WIP
I wanted to both draw my Kestrel and also to draw Waga's Bird OC, so I uh... There's a phrase about two birds and a stone. You know the one. The bonus version has a single nipple added because I just can't help myself.Also, I managed to make progress with the 3D model of Takke. It looks a little uncanny right now because I'm not totally ready to commit to texturing it yet, as I need to make some small adjustments to the body and hair geometry, but it was far along enough that I c...
Rivet 04 + Bonus
I like Rivet so much that I drew her whole prosthetic arm and hammer unobstructed out of respect.Also I kinda feel that my first drawing of her from before she had a confirmed name didn't do her justice so I wanted another try at the same type of angle of her. Actually this has elements of the second drawing of her too. I guess I just felt I could do better if I gave her another try.Additionally I gave her a one-piece swimsuit because um... I don't have a good reason I just like how they...
Thank You from Elora
Well I can certainly anticipate that Elora won't be winning the poll this month, but I can still give her a sketch as compensation for the current second place standing.On that note the Floran is in third and this pleasantly surprises me.I appreciate you all being here for another year! And I hope you all have a good year, too.
Yokko 13 Animation + Bonus
So.. that was a ride.Anyway, I finally got around to animating a climax scene. As shown above, it certainly takes a lot of planning to get it to work, but it was interesting and probably fun.I've been thinking about these animations over the last few days due to the poll and the completion of this animation, and it has occured to me that there might be a clever solution to two problems I've identified.One: Coming up with new animations every month can be tricky, albeit possible.Two: Givi...
Animation Poll for January
Character ReferenceDeksa | Unshiu | Kelseh | Tiger | Elora | FloranThe Asura have been winning back-to-back for the last few months, so there's a lot of non-Asura on this Poll. Deksa's still there if you wish the streak to continue though.Also, as an aside, I still don't know whether to count characters from say, Starbound, as "Original Characters". I mean, if I'm saying the Asura or Vulpera that I draw are, then I guess they do count. This is to say these polls are usual...
Peacemaker 01 + Bonus
Perhaps you thought I might not have drawn her naked. I reckon I'll be drawing her again in future.Also, if you haven't seen or don't know the context behind this, there's a Calendar with a bunch more Asuran Peacemakers on it.
December Illustrations
Hopefully y'all enjoyed the variety of characters this month!I need to get busy with the animating of Yokko, and then also sort out the Poll next week and then the monthly doodle for the 3rd of January. Away I go.
Takke 14 + Bonus
Merry Wintersday, folks!I was actually just finishing up the inks for the Yokko animation and was thinking, "Hmm, this isn't very festive, as much as I want to believe purple mist tentacles are festive. Maybe I should take the oppurtunity to draw a nice Winter scene first". So here is Takke wearing perhaps one item of clothing too few.In exchange for this delay of the animation to next week, I thought it would be an excellent chance to actually attempt a climax scene. So until then, ...
Guilmon and Renamon 01 + Bonus
It feels good to draw Renamon again. I even got to draw Guilmon! I figured the bonus variations were a pretty easy addition to the image set, so enjoy those too.
Tiger 02 + Bonus + 3D Asura WIP
I'm thoroughly enjoying having this specific Tiger to draw. She likely deserves a name.I also wanted to show the progress for my 3D Asura when I have some, so there it is. I was working on her hair and retopologising her body. Retopology is boring. Needs to be done though.
Tabba & Vox 01 + Bonus
I certainly keep finding creative ways to draw Fennec Foxes, this time featuring a plant, however!These two characters are a Floran and a Fenerox, from Starbound, to be clear. It's tricky to find a good reason to draw the Fenerox on its own when I could easily draw a Vulpera to scratch the same itch, but thinking about it, I really have no existing plant ladies to draw, so I solved the problem by adding them together.This is also one of those times where I'm offering a less nude version ...
Thank You from this Aurin
Ahh, Wildstar. It had some really nice art, and some unusually attractive ladies. Fortunately for me the private servers have actually become quite stable, so at least I can run around as an Aurin again.I'd like to draw the occasional Aurin again, because they are different enough to what I usually draw to be interesting to me. They'll probably end up getting shorter and shorter with repeated drawings though, as is the curse of my current ability.
November Illustrations
I'll take this opportunity to say three things:Starbound has cute characters doesn't it.Wildstar's private servers are coming along nicely.Renamon.
Takke 13 Animation + Bonus
This was one of the harder pieces to put together, surprisngly. There's two seperate groups of layers, one for her upper body, and one for her lower body (and one arm), so that I could offset the motions a little.There's definitely a few little visual glitches here and there due to it being a bit of a nightmare to get things to line up between these layer groups. Generally though I'm happy with how it looks and I learned a bit about setting up this type of animation.In other news, as...
Animation Poll for December
Character ReferenceDeksa | Yokko | Akli | Unshiu | Kelseh | Tiger | 3D AsuraI don't know that Yokko is actually capable of losing a Poll that she shows up on. We'll see, I suppose.I feel unusually worried about making the deadline for this month's animation of Takke. I don't know if there's a good reason or not, but to be safe I'll say that if it doesn't show up on Saturday, then I'll post it on Sunday. I'm already done with the inks, so it's mostly just w...
Satyr 01
I've had this Satyr lady for a while and have never actually drawn her. I mean, the reason is because Elora, who I will most likely promptly return to drawing after this. But for now here is this other Satyr.
Unshiu 03 + Bonus
I'm convinced there's probably some wayward errors on these variations, this was a nightmare of layers and masks and groups. Still, whilst I didn't need to draw an iteration of the "A" piece with the "E" piece, I am worryingly in to this concept so I wanted to get more mileage out of the scene. I mean really this is just me running my last Unshiu piece back for another attempt anyway.It's gonna be challenging fitting even a small amount of these tentacles in to Un...
Tiger 01 + Bonus + Kestrel Reference
I wanted to take the opportunity to get some character designs finalised so that I can actually use them in illustrations and animations in future. I'm finally happy with how my Tiger looks, after the third attempt at it over the years, and this bird has been sitting in my sketch program for about two months now. It goes without saying that the two of them are probably only a bit over a metre tall.Also, I do seriously intend to animate them in some form.Despite the... obscene amount of strip...
Thank You from Weavile
I'd been meaning to draw this small lady for a while. The "Thank You" doodle seemed like a good place to break the ice.Regarding the poll, it's impressive, though perhaps not surprising, that the two Asura are leading the Poll by a wide margin. One would think I'm some sort of Asura artist. Still, I look forward to (very likely) creating a new Animation of Takke!
October Illustrations
I tend to have this moment during the end of the month where I will look at my recap posts, and see that, for example, that I haven't drawn any Kobolds this month, after which I will vow to make up the deficit the next month. This will inevitably lead me to over doing it, after which I will end up having the same realisation that I haven't drawn some other thing at all for the next month.I suppose my point is I'm often aware of those characters I haven't drawn in a while.
Plunka 03 Animation
This was a real animation exercise. I'm happy with the movement!
Animation Poll for November
Character ReferenceDeksa | Takke | Akli | Unshiu | Kelseh | TigerThat option is not Master Tigress, it's my own Tiger OC, who I don't think any of you who have really seen outside of some old concepts that I've repeatedly redesigned since then.My point is I do want to build up confidence in animating difficult stuff, but I struggle as it is with Master Tigress so maybe I should ease in to it with bit more freedom of design.Or ya know, you could vote for Unshiu or something and I won&...
Tiskka 05 + Bonus
I realise I have a bit of a thing for anthropomorphic foxes if we count the Vulpera, Renamon, Rivet, the Fenerox.. heck even the Aurin and Fidget would probably count......Wait, that's not a small amount of characters...
Tassi 05 + Bonus
My yearly duty has been complete.I was irrationally excited to see that Tassi had receieved a bit of an update this year. Her eyes are orange now and her clothing is coloured differently. It's nice that she's not a generic Priory NPC anymore, but it has made my previous drawings of Tassi incorrect now.
Netto 12 + Bonus
I remembered that Asura can have stripes and that Cats also tend to have stripes and well would you look at that.
Thank You from Plunka
Well, Plunka seems set to win the animation poll, so I figured I would draw her for the Thank-You as well. I'd had this pose laying around for... a long time, initially it was going to be Takke, but having decided her boobs aren't actually that big, the sketch never ended up being used. Until now!You can see the old sketch below, I thought it'd be cute to put it here too.
Midna 05 Animation
The pose is a little different than the sketch I showed a month ago, but I think it's fundamentally the same as what I was imagining. That said, this has definitely been a case of what I feel was a good pose not translating too well in to motion. It might be that Midna is ruinously complex to draw and getting all of her various markings to move from frame to frame in a decent way is tricky. Also animating such a bundled up pose is hard. Still, I do like what I ended up with, I just wish I co...
Animation Poll for October
Character ReferenceDazzi | Plunka | Takke | Akli | Unshiu | KelsehBack to my Original Characters for this month. Ignoring the fact that Dazzi and Plunka are actually canon Asura who most people just sort of assume always belonged to me.I do tend to signal intent with the images I link to in the text under the banner, in case you're wondering what I'd be doing with the character. Obviously it can still be somewhat vague with characters like Plunka and Kelseh who aren't really doing an...
