VINTAGE CON SKETCHES: S'more DIRTY PAIR illos of yore
🕑 Added 2021-07-30 13:10:26 +0000 UTCAs I clear out the last few Vintage Con Sketches from various folders on my wheezing old PC, I see a bunch of miscellaneous Dirty Pair pieces that I suspect I might have previously posted on this here Patreon—but if I did so, that was months or possibly even years ago. My (admittedly insincere) apologies in advance for any reposting of these images, as my archive of Patreon posts is too vast and sprawling to easily check through in a timely manner on my crappy DSL connection.
Speaking of "a timely fashion," I've now burnt through most of the easily accessible files on my PC and various backup hard drives; I still have plenty of older material I can mine for future Patreon posts, but most of that will require tediously time-consuming unearthing, organizing, and (ughh) scanning, which is a bit of a challenge when I need to sink a helluva lot more time into finishing Empowered vol.12.
So, going forward, I'm looking into switching to a Monday/ Wednesday/ Friday posting schedule every week (with bonus posts on Tuesdays or Thursdays when possible), rather than taking off the third week of the month from posting as I've been doing. I'm hoping that getting away from the pressure and stress of daily Patreon posts (even as said posts grow ever more time-consuming to crank out) will help me regulate my precious worktime a bit better.
Howeva, with a revised "M/W/F+" posting format, I'll likely have to ditch the fixed daily format I've been using, probably meaning that Design or Vintage Con Sketches or Distressed Damsels or Work Stages posts could appear on any given day of the week, rather than the set weekly schedule I was using. (And, well, you'll need to be at the $5 tier or higher to get the full M/W/F experience every week, I'm afraid.)
That said, the first August post will likely still be a Life Drawing dealie, as I have a bunch of those already scheduled; after that, though, who knows what might appear next?
BTW, here are some possibilities I'm looking into for new post subjects in August and beyond:
*My original pitch from 2000 for taking over writing of the Gen13 regular series;
*A heretofore unposted Twitter-format essay detailing my artistic development and skill progression after my initial exposure to manga at the Kubert School circa the late 80s;
*My insanely detailed layout pages from the 2004 miniseries Livewires;
*My likewise insanely detailed layout pages from 2005's Iron Man: Hypervelocity;
*and the final full-length, likewise insanely detailed "Rose and Lily" commissioned DiD comic from the early 2000s, despite a rather problematic content issue midway through the story.
I'll also be putting up a poll post before long to see if there are any older types of posts you'd like to see again (I Am Empowered, story notes for Empowered/ Dirty Pair/Gen13/etc, and so on).
SATURDAY ON THIS HERE PATREON: Big Spenders of the $10 & $20 tiers, stand by for July's exclusive bonus post, which this time around will boast the rest of the "Domme Emp" sequence from Empowered vol.12, featuring not only Ocelotina enthusiastically subbing but also a strong hint re: the structure of the volume as a whole. Golly!

I’m highly entertained by any posts you make. No schedule or theme days necessary.

That first image is YUM. You post more than most people, so please take a break!! I look forward to anything, including text posts.
Adam Warren
Eventually, yes. Couldn't clear out enough free time to make any serious progress on 'em in July.

Well, here's hoping conventions come back sometime before Kei 'n Yuri Con.

How did K-- Uh, Lilly. How did Lilly jack into that robot with her hands cuffed behind her back? I can barely open up a PC case to add memory and she...she...she's amazing!

If you ever discover the channel by which to exchange money for commissions, please publish a paper of your findings.

I love how the giant robots in the first Kei sketch are based on the Hucast from Phantasy Star Online. They were my class of choice back when I played that game.

I miss the Dirty Pair.
JKurt
Are we getting the July art requests too?
Mike Powers
You sure do like making drawings of Kei kneeling down and thrusting her chest out, which is okay because I sure do like looking at them. Hubba hubba.

Also... great sketches today !

Speaking for myself, your posts have definitely been "adamantium" worthy. And a great bang for the buck compared to another comic artist (same pledge). As for what might appear next, I'd like to see any pre-Kubert school or pre-manga exposure art by you... if you have it handy. Thanks !!!

Awesome. Do what is best for your work schedule.

NGL, all these awesome con sketches are making me want to commission one or more of my own. Yes, I am going to _have_ to throw money at you.
