I AM EMPOWERED, pt.17: The Twitter-based YEAR ONE prose dealie continues!
<Note: You can check out I Am Empowered's previous installments with this tag.And now, back to Emp's first-person narration in (old) Twitter-based 140-character format, taking place roughly around the beginning of Empowered vol.1.In the previous installment of this chapter addressing the vagaries of her supersuit, Emp briefly escaped capture by the supervill GigaJoule, only to get zapped by him and tied to a chair once again. Prose-form d...
DISTRESSED DAMSELS: "Sticky Situations," pt.6
With this week's post, we're continuing serialization of a 2003-ish commissioned DiD story featuring my iteration of Dirty Pair's Yuri that I've actually considered redoing as an Empowered episode, for reasons that will eventually become obvious.You can check out the previous installment of this goofy narrative here — assuming I remember to update the correct link, that is.(Perhaps I should point out that Yuri is canonically 19 ...
EMPOWERED AND THE GIANT-SIZE ISSUES #2 thumbnails & script, pt.5
(You can check out the previous part of this serialization here, assuming I remember to go back and insert the correct link.) Wellp, we're continuing serialization of my page roughs and scripts for Empowered and the Giant-Size Issues, a never-published, two-issue miniseries intended to be drawn by a Special Guest Artist.As mentioned previously, I wrote the two-parter back in 2015 with the excellent artist Rob "Robaato" Porter in mind ...
Life drawings from photoreference: high-res scans #64
Yet again, I'm doubling up with this week's set of life drawings fromrandom photoref. (Someday I'll have to downgrade to a single piece per post, but my buffer of these pieces remains reasonably large.) First above is a set from June 2018, while the second set is an example from January 2017, still fairly early on in the effort.Below, enjoy(?) the higher-res, raw and untweaked grayscale scans as PSD attachments.
CONVENTIONLESS CON SKETCHES: Webcomics edition!
Behold, two recent commissions drawn in my 11" X 14" con sketch format—though, obvsly, drawn at home rather than at a convention—with both pieces based on pairs of characters from webcomics.First up are Annie and Winona from the Slipshine (adult) webcomic Study Break:(BTW, if you want an artistic challenge, try drawing a g-d straw cowboy like the one above, which is also not unlike the hat worn by Country Strong in Empowered vol.11. N...

This installment continues a chapter addressing Emp's supersuit and its vagaries; prose-form damsel-distress and some fairly disturbing Emp humiliation ahead, so be warned:>MY STUPID SUPERSUIT, CONTINUED (pa...

Art requests from the $20 tier (part 1)!
Got only a few minutes to slap on some text for this post, so here goes!Above are a trio of Clip Studio Paint sketch sets based on art requests from the $20 tier; still got a bunch of Party of Two-based suggestions from this tier that I need to get to, but I'll toss those in a future post once I get around to 'em.Tough slog getting through these sets, as I'm a bit outta practice on iPad CSP sketching at present. (Let us speak not of t...

VINTAGE CON SKETCHES: Mo' early 2000s DP costume variations!
Got no dang time to write a lengthy post this morning, so here are a bunch of 2000-era con sketches of Dirty Pair's Kei and Yuri. (And, oops, the weird Patreon dialog box noting "Patreon doesn't allow the featuring of seemingly underage characters in the context of adult content" just popped up at the bottom of my screen as I write this. What is your deal, Patreon?)As I've mentioned before, I would become bored very quickly wi...

VINTAGE CON SKETCHES, (mostly) mutant edition!
Wellp, after a post earlier in the week featuring relatively recent con sketches of X-Men's Rogue harvested from my phone's camera roll, I thought I'd go back and dig up some other such illos from my photocopies of Vintage Con Sketches.Alas, I found only one such pic in my main binder of copies, but perhaps other Rogue pieces might be hiding elsewhere. In the meantime, enjoy some old con sketches of Rogue's fellow mutants and Marv...

Recent(-ish) Rogue CON SKETCHES, from the phone!
Yikes! I've been trying to stockpile scheduled Patreon posts ahead of time to try to get ahead a wee bit, but plumb forgot about today's open slot; so, based on a Patron's art request from last month, here are some con sketches of X-Men's Rogue, harvested from my phone's camera roll. (Probably should've sized the pieces down so they're not 800K or more apiece, but didn't.)A few words:First and best is a piece drawn...

Final May sketch dump of Patron art requests!
Behold, this month's final "sketch dump" of (mostly) Clip Studio Paint sets based on art requests from miscellaneous tiers of Patrons! Also, read up below for some changes to and clarifications of Patron tier benefits.First up, a few words on the pieces:The CSP set above started out as a life drawing set with the first two images before I started tacking Patron art requests onto it.Note that I bungled the half-orc's ears in the in...

More EMPOWERED vol.12 Emp, Spooky & sabertooth pages, plus work stages!
A few weeks ago, worked on a few more pages from the otherwise stalled-out Empowered vol.12, as seen above, before other matters drew my attention. A few words about the work stages:Whoops, didn't notice the lettering glitch in the word "WORLD'S" in Spooky's first word balloon. Will fix that later.What is the catch, you might ask? You might have to wait until the years-off release of vol.12 to find out, I'm afraid.Next up ...
I AM EMPOWERED, pt.12: The Twitter-based YEAR ONE prose dealie continues!
<Note: You can check out I Am Empowered's previous installments with this tag.For my own reference: Yo, dude, you skipped the incomplete "Joining the Team" chapter, which will need to be revisited later.And now, back to Emp's first-person narration in (old) Twitter-based 140-character format, taking place roughly around the beginning of Empowered vol.1. For the record, I think this is the very first chapter I ever wrote in this wa...

Another sketch dump of May art requests!
Behold, s'more sketch sets based on Patron art requests from various tiers. No time to go into detail on any of these, but I should say that the first set above features a Patron's OC and Ryoko from Tenchi Muyo cosplaying "my" version of Dirty Pair. (And, of course, that's the half-orc from Party of Two in the second set, along with a work-in-progress screen cap.)Also, sad to say that all of these were drawn in the familiar ol...
May art requests for the $5 tier!
Wellp, now that I've cleared out all of the $10 and $20 tier's May art requests, time to get things a-rollin' with you fine folks of the $5 tier! Certainly can't promise I'll do all of 'em (as I'm pretty sure I did with the higher tiers), but I'll do my best to address any that especially catch my fancy.As before, the focus for these pieces and sketch sets will be on Clip Studio Paint digital-art tests—but, as I&...
