March art requests for the $5 Patron tier!
🕑 Added 2020-03-20 02:14:59 +0000 UTCPreviously, I told the fine folks of the $10 & $20 tiers that March was gonna be a rough month for me, worktime-wise, due to Emerald City Comic-Con gouging a week (or more, counting con-prep time) outta my schedule. Wellp, after ECCC's postponement, this is still gonna be a rough month for me, as I ate the full cost of my tragically nonrefundable plane tickets. Ouch!
Wellp, might as well get crackin' on art requests from you $5-tier Hundredfold! (Hundred-and-ninefold, technically, but who's counting?)
As before, the focus for these pieces and sketch sets will be on Clip Studio Paint digital-art tests, but with the two-pronged approach I started back in February:
1) First, while I'm quite comfortable sketching and drawing roughs in CSP, I am nowhere near having a viable art technique for finished, printable comic pages and illos. None of the app's default brushes for pencils or inks can deliver the linework quality I'm looking for, so clearly I need to experiment with new brushes, whether from CSP's add-on capabilities or via third-party "brush providers" like Frenden. So, you'll likely see me messing around with wildly varying new brushes in art-request sketch dumps this month.
2) While I'm still on the hunt for "final art" brushes, in the meantime I also need to start experimenting with CSP's tools for comic-page production. So, you'll probably see sketch dumps formatted as faux comic pages, or speed lines gracing random illos, or screen-tone tests on headshots, or Lord knows what else. Gotta familiarize myself with the full CSP toolset, y'see, as I approach the point of "going whole hog with the digital," a process which I'll address in more detail later.
Furthermore, this month I finally shelled out for a full-on hardware set-up to truly "go digital"—as in a hot new PC with serious RAM, a big-ass Cintiq, and the complete revamping of my studio space. Great timing, needless to say! I won't be messing around with that gear in earnest for quite a while, as the PC build is likely stranded in California for weeks or months hence, but I'll be doing even more CSP iPaddery in the meantime to get ready for the hardware's arrival.
So fire away with any character suggestions or situation requests you might have, oh $5 friends! Could my own characters, or other characters, or more iterations of material I've already drawn here. Damsel-in-distress-oriented requests are certainly a possibility, as we saw a welcome spike in new $5-tier Patrons this month who might well have joined up for such content.
Come to think of it, these requests could branch out beyond simple character choices to, I dunno, something broader for me to mess around with using CSP. Scenes or settings from earlier projects? Animals? (I'm in the middle of an animal-heavy episode of EMP12 at the moment.) Trees? Environments? Cars (God forbid)? Life drawing subjects? Robots?
Thanks for your generous support, and have a good weekend!

Yuri and Kei in a see-saw dunking peril while a vill working a serious Snidely Whiplash rants away?

I do think I have another page or two of HHE that hasn't been posted here yet, but will need to check. Would like to draw the GF, though!

Been wanting some more Hushed Half-Elf in my life, especially the girlfriend and witch characters. Maybe some fighting over Half-Elf, to get some panel work in?

The discussion earlier about the EMP/DP crossover that might have been gave me an idea. Kei and Emp in a standoff over Thugboy.
Adam Warren
Possibly, if we were ever to get permission to reprint. After 5+ years of no progress on that front, though, I wouldn’t count on it.

I'd actually be really keen to see your own artistic take on Huang Qiaolian, the shockingly competent AIM megagenius you wrote for Iron Man: Titanium. Not damselled, definitely a cool-yet-cutely-giggling foe. If pressed for a specific look I'd say I really liked most her AIM-styled "garage" clothes she wore talking with her "giant-mecha-me" at the end of that story, but anything is fine.

Ninjette and a ballet class? Teaching it, or fish out of water?

Dirty Pair in a Mad Max world scene involving cars. Question: Will the Dirty Pair books ever be released in digital form?

Hope all is well! I'd be interested to see any sort of "film noir" takes on Empowered or Gen13 characters, especially 40's/50's style fashion and/or dramatic lighting.
Adam Warren
Oh, right, I remember the character periodically sweeping Artist Twitter in years past. Will try that sometime!
Adam Warren
Another request I've never received before; will give it a stab!
Adam Warren
A request I've never received before!
Adam Warren
Sure, why not?
Adam Warren
Not the first time I've drawn that! Will try a different take on the concept this time.

From a DiD point of view, I would like to see Ocelotina getting bedamseled by a domming Oyuki-chan maybe as a guest star in one of her instructional videos? Would make for an interesting turnabout I feel...

A character BEGGING for an Adam Warren rendition: Twintelle from the Nintendo Switch ARMS fighting game. A beautiful Brazilian woman who punches with her pigtails. She’s known for her muscularly thick build & backend. 🙂

I would like to see your version of Arcee from transformers prime
Trevor Lalish-Menagh
I would love to see you draw Katchoo and Francine from Strangers in Paradise!
Stuart Little
Gender swapped Emp and Thugboy, please.
