Just more self indulgence, sorry >:C
Might well colour, or well... draw some OTHER dingo contents
Some noodley dragony. His card reveal for runeterra got to me ~u~
Yeah guess whos lovely and fit and well again! Tonsilitus showing its ugly face. Anyway, I wont bill next month and ill focus tutoring slots from march over the remainder of it and into april. Ill do more of my bull guys too, throw suggestions my way and I might well doodle some things :3
Im so sorry for not having done this sooner and been more transparent. These past months Ive been my usual annoyingly sickly self. Inspired when im ill and not wanting to do anything, and unmotivated when im feeling okay.
Ill keep posting stuff im doing, but I just want to take a bit of a load off while im trying to get myself (and my gut) back on track. Im one of those people who really enjoys their food and well, while im wondering if Ive developed some intolerance and have no appetite, it very quickly brings down my usually pretty cheery disposition :p I wanna eat and feel okay about it! Please stomach-
So yeah, while im tryin to get my system back functioning, ill pause and give my head a break! As always, tutoring guys, come and tell me if you want me, and ill do my best x
Went messy with colour on this one and erased extra. I think I prefer that free feeling block in :3
Not sure he knows what or who to eat first . Gonna finish it up a lil more but figured id post :3
Hes comin!
As a few of you might know, im currently in bed with a nice mixture of flu and hayfever. I really wanted to pause patreon this month in order to catch up from confuzzled when I was back.
But me being stupid, missed the deadline yesterday to shut off the payment, therefore Ill stop patreon for the month of july-august, and depending on how things are, possibly august-sept aswell.
Sorry for not catching the cut off point, but if you wait for me to be better ill get the arts going again xx Hope youre all fairing better than me atm! Ill catch you about
One of several things Ive done before the con! Badges are a fun change of pace :D
Also coming to cfz :D sorry ive been a bit quiet recently been doing bits for the con! <3 will be back on form again. As always though, shout suggestions at me! I might very well listen :9
Finished up the boy! prints gonna be at cfz and a big copy put in the auction :D bulgey boy inc
something im thinking of working up for confuzzled's art show. Might have to do a couple alt versions ;p
SWINGIN LOW.
Also I feel terrible that ive never drawn him. He was a huge crush as a youngster x:
Hopefully last before getting it finished :D I really wanna do one lil guy getting coated x:
Getting things back on track and playing with some perspective... atleast trying to :p sorry for my abscence, life has thrown alot of hurdles my way recently, but thankyou for the continued support everyone, it means the world.
Anyway. DICK TEMPLE
Just some more progress! Needs cleaning up and bumping some colours! Merged alot of layers down to just work into him flat and paint some nicer colours in :3
Shyloc painting the steps x: lined, coloured and getting onto masking elements of the bg!
As sometimes people like seeing early sketches of things to come! Icarus needed 'ruining!'
Thought Id have a try using that CLIP colour filter, kinda cool, might use for things now and then :3 here: https://gyazo.com/ccdff2b5a8c899b2b73fef05f849fe3a
Anyway, big doggos.
Wippy pic for Lime :3 (sorry for the reupload!)
You cant milk thooooseee...
Ya wanna bet?!
Wip of bowser I was doing on stream, but for once actually took stages of him!
Anyhow my thinking:
1. General layout and cooler shadow tones, ready to warm up later. Soft and gradienty. Flat values defined more
2. Linear Lighting in a lighting scheme. New layer so I can fiddle with the shapes until im kinda happy.
3. Starting to bring in cooler skylight. Contrasting cold and warm tones. Mixture of flat painting in greyer tones and using soft light/overlay gradients to give a bit more of a shift.
4. Generally working into what I have. Reduced the light brightness and started working in highlights. Am considering brightening the light again later in balancing, but easier to work on without the contrast atm.
Feel like caps gets the point across :3 <3
lil wippy
Other pic in attachment :3 rather than post twice!
To draw today, probably why this ended up rainy -u-
Also something about heat and libedo? huff.
Part of a trade with Troxo, http://www.furaffinity.net/user/licantrox/ I suspect everyone knows of, but just incase! <3
Sat in the sun doodling favourite things ;D
More traditional needed <3
Just a heads up! As May's been a bit of a jumble, with CFz at the end and some life happening inbetween, im pausing patreon for next month and will instead do the sessions from May in June.
As always, welcome to poke me whenever, and ill catch you guys asap!
What im scribblin onnn. I definately want to do more soapy suds after this one :D
Two lil doodles <3 Fluffy cow as suggested by Orion :D I kinda love him
Something that kinda evolved from an idea, not quite hit the character I wanna go for, but will try more :3 I want to get him with a buffer upper body as in this sketch page in the lower left~ (attached) plus I drew that awkward squatt kinda angle. Ill learn next time :D
As always, let me know if another weekends better, or of a time around the date if that works out better~ Anyhow, have a good april guys :D
14th-15th : Dallas + Asher
21st-22nd : Grawl + Ethelas
28th-29th : Orion + Wolf
may 5th-6th : Nebula + Kailys
Just wanting to give a bit of info into my lack of activity and be a little more transparent. These last weeks Ive been in the pits of art block. Struggling to find reason to draw and when I do, producing stuff that doesnt come anywhere near to what im forcing on myself and expecting to pump out. Ive let myself sit and dwell and do the 'it will come back' approach, but realistically I need to get drawing and I need to just get through this slump.
So.
Streaming. Im gonna do my best to get myself back on stream, putting time into making digital pixels move about and likely shaming myself for the world to see :D And wanting you guys, who are amazing for everything you do to support me, to have imput. Throw suggestions or ideas. Interesting characters. Even just 'Draw more butts!' is even enough. Ill do my best to deliver <3
And ill do my best to make a fool of myself on stream :p and get results posted up. I'll try to keep remembering it wont be by best, and keep the art train chuggin x
Peace you amazing people x
Wip commission! :3 am really happy with the lighting so far <3
Got this cleaned up and happy to call done. Boy I hope I remember a few things I learnt :D
Onwards!-
NIDOTHINGS :D
Neat-O-things.
Butts. (First worst sketchpage in linky)
Righty, lets get going :3 As always let me know if different dates/times work, but as a rough start:
Week of the 13th-19th - Asher and Nebula
20th-26th - Kailys and Grawl
27th-2nd feb - Orion and Wolf
3rd feb-9th - Alec(?) and Gilga
Hope you've all had a nice xmas, look forwards to getting up to date with you all!
Sorry I let several of you know and ive just realized that theres a couple I missed. Basically, I didnt intend patreon to charge for december, I was planning on pausing and having everything return properly on january as the new year. So instead what ill do is keep patreon paused for january so that it wont charge and will arrange the sessions as I originally planned starting in 2018.
Hope you all have an awesome xmas and to any I havent wished, a very happy 2018, lets make it a great one! x
Im pausing patreon for the december month as I suspect im gonna run into issues timing tutoring slots, and no ones gonna want the hastle of arting over xmas ;)
I'll ofcourse keep posting and keep stuff going up-
Whilst ive got the chance, I have to say the biggest thankyou again. Even if you donate $1, I still am honoured that im given the chance to keep producing stuff. Knowing all too well that im often not the most productive nor transparent of people and I keep alot of it behind the scenes (sketches, sketchbooks, interesting finds etc) and ill keep working to try and better myself. So what im saying is- I cant thank enough for the people who stick around when I myself dont think im worth it x (without sounding too self pitying!) and the support you guys give is invaluable in itself, through comments, shares and maybe a few loads spent :D
Anyway, hope everyones looking forwards to a festive time of year and a very white xmas! I'll try and get some balls jingling, or something- :D Peace guys x
Sketchy sketchin, throwing some refs down and fiddling- Im thinking ill get back into streaming to show this kind of content, and ask on here on patreon for suggestions/pics/r34 etc. Anyway, hope alls well!
Working on some bloodline champions/battlerite fanart :D as Ive all but neglected halloweeen
Got things inc, just need to throw them all down <3 maybe a start of something halloweeeeny, kinda wanna do some bodypaint ;3
Right guys! Back on track with this <3 Lets get this show on the road :D
14th/15th - Asher and Nebula
21st/22nd - Kailys and Grawl
28th/29th - Orion and Wolf
4th/5th - Alec and Gilga
As always, can be a bit lenient or can shuffle weekends around. Do let me know early as possible though, always appreciated :3 Looking forwards! x
Trying it out again- Practiced it yeeears ago and a few little bits stuck with me. Anyone interested, this vid does a good breakdown :3 https://youtu.be/9RmHOvmPJjE
Might throw some colour on those two crocs <3 what do you think :9
Thinking of giving that sheath a nice thick piercing to match and maybe something for him to chew :9
As im sure a few of you realized, I paused patreon for the month of sept to catch up on a few things and give myself time for a couple things which cropped up in the month. Anyway, will be back on track this month hopefully, all being well I can shrug the last of this cold and be back scribbling. Got a good number of things to post <3
Ty for bearing with me! Love you all
Heey, enjoy some more versions of the finished sticky boy :D find in the attached-
Hueheuehe im funnieee
(wondering if anyone knows which julian Ive emailed him to-)
throwing some brushmarks about, but being too dark, hmmn, anyway, liking some of the leathery bits :3
Right, as a few people have kinda slipped from schedules but are still part of this, Ive started to be a muddle of timezones, schedules and who has/hasnt had their session. For that reason, Ive paused my patreon for a month so we can get back on good schedule and be ready for october :3 Anyone who wants a session as usual, who is currently up to date, feel free to contact and we'll arrange one as normal, but through private means.
Right, people who I need to hear from: Nebula, Kailys and gilg (-who I have a penciled in time with though).
Otherwise! Grawl this wednesday. Orion and Wolf on the weekend of the 26/27th and then alec on the 2nd/3rd sept.
Once done and caught up, patreon will charge on the 1st of oct, and we'll be back into good form for that month. Those who want a session during september, as I said, mention it to me and we'll work something out!
And once again, I dont mind people having lives and being busy, I understand it cant be helped. This way we're all back on track! :)
Finally getting this one up to scratch, couple things just to poke though :3 And on that note- things to try next, would love some suggestions for things people would like to see or content! x
Be it rule 34's, species or themes ;D
Theres just that mood when youre feeling like 'who cares, ima paint a big dick' will throw on the wip pile. Am getting back on track with priorities though, so expect me back on good form again. Thankyou again for all the support people give me when im on one of those artist lows xx
Heyy, thanks for the suggestions, will post a few doodles ;D keep en eye out x Got a bit distracted with floofy foo tail, nice doggo gordon~
I cant excuse my quietness on anything other than artblock and burnout- I keep appologizing, but Im getting the motions back, I cant thank people enough for their patience with me.
Anyhow, will upload more of the pages ive been working through, these are more to get my pencil moving more than anything :3 Though saying that, if you want your chars butt drawn, or junk for that matter, chuck a ref over in the comments and Ill work through some! Ease back into things with some cheeky cheeks.
Thank you all again so much x Enjoy more butts in the attachments
Heya everyone! Need to say a huge thanks for all the continued support as ever, I cant say that enough.
But otherwise you might be wondering where Ive vanished or why I havent been uploading anything- I had the pleasure of going to a couple london meets the last week where I was hoping in all best intentions to draw but that never happened. Anyhow, I buggered my back and am still hunched over and struggling to get about. That combined with having not drawn has put me in a bad spot~
I need to remember how to draw again and get myself so I can atleast sit straight ;D stuff inc soon I hope <3
Hey! Ive let a few of you know, but im going to be away next weekend for the london furmeet which means a little bit of shuffling will be needed. Just means everything might be one weekend behind, ofc lemme know if it doesnt work for you! x
Hope you're all awesome and keep doing the good works <3
22nd/23rd - Kailys + Grawl
29th/30th - Orion T + William White
5th/6th - PD + Alec Ramos + gilga

Im always up for request ideas, always interested :B
Really proud of some of the lighting, dragon dick and such. Phew this was a fun one :3 Cleaner version in file below ;)
Added a file link incase eww horsedick, just viewer discretion. Just a warmuppy paint to get going! My hands been causing me problems recently, getting through it!
More butt lighting and dragon shading doing on. I lost a sketch page today to a powercut, MNGH, will have to make up for it
<3 much thanks to were/troxo again.
Learnt to draw beef burgers, this will come in handy :9
As always lemme know what works, what doesnt! Normally available weekdays too, just figure that weekends have a wider scope of times you'd all be free! Anyhow, sorry if this is a week pushed back, was away for a weekend x Looking forwards to em all!

>////> k I have a things for exposed armor things. HEY IM LEARNIN TO DRAW :D
hahah, you wish it was porn, but this is knooowledge which will help for nice smutty clothes... maybe :9
1 rough block, get most saturated tones down, generally working from bg to foreground.
2 blocking in darker tones, getting the top right lighting in which frames the main figure
3 working in the blacks, feels very frazetta in these areas- working from dark to light seems to help
4 main face work- lassoing the edges of the lip/nose/eye to make hard edges while working with a soft round brush with some texture on it. Calling it there 90 min, colours main focus :3
Hottt day in the uk, little studies done and some beach dog progress. Will hopefully do mroe tomorrow- Meantime, sketchy sketch. More fabric needed
Warmup doodle before working on hotdoggo colouring... but now I wanna draw tropical fruit themed dragons x:
Forcing myself to sit and tackle him. HNNGH. Progresss(???)
Doodling. Hoss happened :B though jungle theming might be fun to run with-
I likey the simplified shadows... do more of that. Yes -u-
Right, its been a whole month and its time to cycle around again :D Again, lemme know if times dont work, or anything of the sort. Look forwards to them again :3
Weekend of the 6th/7th - Asher Tail

Gold chest, silver chest, muscle chest.
Letting myself just jump from one thing to the next as comes to mind, and seeing how bad my quick chest from memory was! while being rusty :D
Say if these kinds of things are good to see, I might do more in this style!
Rediculous chinese festival artist that I dont have the english name of x:
Ummmmnnnn. Lets just say- dont let me get inspired early in the morning when im still dopey :9
Just an apology for being quiet! Had a busy week with birthdays, family and getting my head sorted with the tutorial sessions which so far have been a ton of fun and hopefully just as helpful!
Still poking at gruff who will hopefully be finished soon- But in the meantime might do a few sketch pages like I did for the kobolds- Any suggestions? :D
(oh and have some rock studies, I know these are the types of posts you just dream about ;) <3 )
Quality posts
Right! the months rolled around and ive got this patreon thing sorted (hopefully!) Its my first experience with all the bg stuff for it so its taken a little to get used to and set up. Anyhow, would you please check this and tell me in comments or notes whether this works with you, and if so, comment what kind of timeslot you'd want between 12am and 12pm gmt on the sat/sun. If you cant do the week Ive put you in, or if a weekdays better, contact me and we'll arrange another! I've simply done this in order of signing up.
You're all welcome to nudge me on telegram or note me on here. My ID is 'Darkgem' on telegram, a few of you have poked me already and im more than happy to help where I can!
Anyway!

Xslar suggested trying the doom demons.. and well... this was the study. Time to get aquainted-

Was away for the weekend- but back on track now :D trying to get colours into the underpaint so then I can work into the pinks and blues and keep Crash's greys colourful <3
Couple here that I might work into :3 I kinda like top middle. Hand over mouth and a good blushy expression :D
SO I found out my scanners bust! Sorry for the dreadful quality, ordering one asap :D Might take a few of these and blow them up to scribble into <3
Some lil burps! I really wanna do more armory stuff. I have a weakness for knights <3
