Sketch sets (& a con sketch) based on $20-tier art requests!
🕑 Added 2020-11-19 13:42:34 +0000 UTCHaven't had much time to tackle November's art requests from the $20 tier's Big Spenders, due to actually making progress on Empowered vol.12; I've only managed 10 pages so far this month, but that's welcome progress nonetheless, believe me.
A few words on the few sketch sets I've cranked out around Emp pages:
Dino OC (Original Character) based on the Jurassic Park T-Rex that's been lurking beside my table (with its wee arm serving as a rest for my French curve) as since I first used it for reference in the 90s story Dirty Pair: I Honestly Hate You; alas, I've no time to dig up a link to that project, which I serialized here months ago.
For some reason, I have immense difficulty drawing domino masks that leave open skin around the eyes, as you can see on Lady Lawless above. (That's why you almost never see such masks in Empowered other than, I think, Makro.)
Not a particularly great Clip Studio Paint sketch set, TBH, but I'll cut it some slack, as I drew that on my iPad behind the steering wheel of my car. (Which, I hasten to clarify, was parked at the time.) Tried a "diaphanous dress" overlay on the Wheel of Time RPG OC, which proved tragically unsuccessful; in the gallery above, I've switched off that layer so you can see the slightly better figure drawing sans dress. (I was gonna post that image below, but Patreon's suddenly getting squirrelly.)
Finally, a Patron req'd Gwenpool, so I dug up a 2019 "damsel-in-distress" con sketch featureing her and Batroc zee Leaper. Note that, with the second version of the image, I tacked on a "postscript" piece that felt a bit more faithful to the actual comic (drawn by Guruhiru, whose work I really enjoy) that I was using for reference.
Note to Big Spender Patrons: Ehh, the rest of the art reqs I manage to crank out will likely comprise your tier(s)-exclusive monthly post, possibly along with a few new Empowered vol.12 pages.
TOMORROW ON THIS HERE PATREON: More Vintage Con Sketches, folks!

Thanks, Adam! The jungle Emp is great and the T-Rex looks really cool too.

nice

Well, at least I got her name right on the sketch itself.

To clarify, I meant that my DRAWING of your OC was based on a Jurassic Park toy. (Could’ve phrased that better.)
Eric
Rexic isn't actually based on jurassic park at all (besides being a dinosaur) but nice work :)

And to comment further, the player is pleased by both versions of Lirine, Mister Warren.

Glad to hear you're making progress on volume 12! Incredibly excited to read that one.

Whoops, it was too late. Well, if it is any consolation, I (appropriately) f***ing LOVE that Oyuki-chan. I also really love that second Gwenpool pic, and also think the dress looks better on the WoT OC then you gave yourself credit for. Kudos on the Emp progress as well!

Always really loved this Gwenpool pic! Batroc's right, she definitely went that extra mile with the torn clothes to the zee damsel-in-distress, and the OTS carry is classic. Very great work on this, and I agree the follow-up dialogue you added in the second part feels very spot-on for both of the characters, I like Gwen's enthusiasm. If you ever get the opportunity to make a Gwenpool comic for Marvel, I would definitely read that. I think your style/humor would mix well with hers, especially having fun with superhero-comic tropes, and you draw her as cute as Gurihiru does

I am quite pleased by the Lirine art, and shall report what my friend thinks of it when they reply on Discord. (I think you were too hard on yourself on the dress)
Burninator
Wait, is Jungle Girl Emp trying to feel up Lirine? Seriously though, great stuff.

Glad to hear about progress on Empowered v12... re: domino masks... I guess I should never request that you draw the golden age Black Canary.

[faints with joy] Thank you! (It's an interesting note about the domino mask. As a non-artist I never gave it much thought. Thank you for sharing that tidbit.)

(Lady Lawless is Lady Lawful's evil universe counterpart. No, seriously.)
