Logan Study Sketch

Every pin-up and bara artist on Twitter and Instagram has been drawing this pose. I couldn’t help myself. 😆

Iceman - Phone Wallpapers!

Got them phone wallpapers for Bobby!  Next on the agenda, everyone's favorite furry blue elf.  ;-)

Iceman Time-Lapse

Got the 30 sec time-lapse for Iceman attached below!

Because I really liked the initial thumbnail on this one, I started by drawing directly over it so I wouldn't lose the gesture.  One of the problems I kept running into, was trying to make Bobby stand-out against the water behind hi...

Iceman - NSFW

Hope you like popsicles ;-P ;-P ;-P

Iceman - Final!

Got Bobby wrapped up!  Or unwrapped I should say.

I'll post up the wallpapers for all tiers tomorrow and the time-lapse for the OH My and OH GOSH Tiers.  

Stay frosty ya'll! ;-P

Iceman - WIP - Body

Got some more progress on Bobby. It’s easy to get overwhelmed painting unconventional skin texture, so I decided to simplify my approach and paint it fairly normal and after this, I’ll go back in to add ice detail and maybe some more faceted, icy planes.

Also posted my ref...

Iceman - WIP - Face

Worked a little more on Bobby this evening. Mostly trying to figure out how I want to paint his ice body so I’m starting with the face.

For reflective/shiny skin, I like to just feel it out as I go. Play with hard and soft edges. Define some planes. Let other planes be less defined. ...

Iceman WIP

Finally done with my move which means I'm back at it again!  Thank you all for your patience while I was having a busy couple of weeks.  

I had such a hard time picking which Iceman rough to do cause honestly, I was into them all, but this one was the most popular and I really lov...

Daken Study

Had Akihiro on the brain, so I had to do a quick sketch before hauling more boxes.

One thing I'm grateful for on this move, is that it's just down the street.

Bobby Thumbnails

I can’t figure out which one I want to do! I really wanted to do Iceman in a swim/surf situation, mostly because I think he would be cute in a bikini and I like the contrast of ice and summer activities.  I am kind of digging the fireplace on though.  The idea there is that it that th...

Winter Bear

It's been so cold and snowy here, I just want to cuddle up and hibernate.  

This was just going to be a sketch, but I think he's so cute, I want to finish this one up later to make as a print.

Ryu Study!

I wanna do a video game character poll at some point.  Maybe fighting game boys. 

February Poll

Hey patrons!  As you know, I'm gonna do Iceman as my next pin-up but want to get a poll going for what I'm gonna do after.  Let's vote on another round of X-Men studs.

Edit(Bah, set the tiers wrong again) 

Cyclops - Wallpapers

Got some phone-wallpapers for ya'll :-)

Cyclops - Time-lapse

Time-lapse attached below!  The image has some of the references I used, but there's more in the video.

I've painted pouty lips so many times, but I still usually need to take a picture to get it just right.  ;-P

The software I use for the 3D model is the Magic Poser app, ...

Cyclops NSFW!

Who knew Scott was such a slugger.  

Cyclops Final!

Batter-up!  Wrapped up Mr.Summer's tonight.  

I'll save out the wall-papers for all tiers tomorrow and the time-lapse for the OH MY! and OH GOSH! 

Cyclops - Color WIP

Moving forward on with the colors.  This phase I try to get the anatomy stuff down best I can.  I want to get the body farther along before I get sucked into painting the face, which I can and probably will spend way too much time on.

Trash Pixie

Gonna share some other stuff while I make progress on Scott.  This is an original character I've been working over the past year.  I use to draw fairy folk a lot and I think it would be fun to make a group of pin-up pixies, imps, etc.  Maybe even do some mini comics stories with th...

Cyclops - Refined Sketch WIP

Working on next phase of Scott. This part can take me a long time as a fight between ‘accuracy’ and ‘feel’. I want to have solid anatomy and posing, but I don’t want to lose the initial gesture. At one point I spread his legs out more to make his stance more solid, but I felt like it...

Cyke Sketches

Got some Scottie boy sketches going last night.  I just knew I wanted to do a baseball theme for him.

I think I'm settled on B, which may or may not be inspired by a viral baseball booty moment.

Poll Results!

First poll is closed with a narrow win for Cyclops at 45% with Iceman at 42%.

Mr. Slim Summers it is!

However this poll was so close, I think I’ll do Bobby right after Scott is wrapped up. 😘

EDIT*  Whoops!  Had the OH MY! Tier unselected for some reason.  Re...

Nightcakes - 01/29/2023

I wanna see Kurt with a mullet again.  

Scott X Bobby - 01/26/23

Talk about a race for the ages.  These two are neck and neck folks!  

Warm-up Study - 01/25/23

I don't give myself the time to do studies.  Want to more of these quick ones for practice.  Might help me get faster, because I'm slow af. XD

Pin-Up Poll! First Class!

Welcome to the first Fan-art poll!  X-Men is a favorite of mine so let's start with some classics!

Poll Ends at midnight this Saturday!

Gambit Phone Wallpapers!

Got some phone wallpapers attached below!  

Gambit(30 sec Time-Lapse)

Here's a 30 second time-lapse video for Gambit!

I have a 20 min versions, but it's too large to upload and they have some minor hoops I need to jump through to get a longer video up on here.  So I'll see what I can do to get that version up soon!

Gambit(Painting Process)

These are my WIPs of the painting process from sketch to final.

1. I start off with a sketch, mostly figuring out the proportions, working the pose, etc.  I try not to get too caught up in detail at this stage because I'm going to redraw it anyway.

2. Next is my refined sketch....

Gambit Sketches and Thumbnails

I wanted a completed pin-up at launch so going forward I'll post these WIPS and sketches as I finish them.  

So I always start by doing really loose thumbnails sketches.  Mostly to come up with poses I like, play with concepts, etc.  Initially, I was thinking of having him i...
