Solios - Trick or Treat

Apologies for the lack of updates recently.  More projects still on the way - think I've got a few more ideas for these gals as well.  They haven't got much play lately but I'd like to change that with the help of Solios.  Maybe even something a bit more lengthy...

In the meantime, it's that time of year (timing didn't work out for too many additional projects, but I've got some good ideas for next year - will need to start a little earlier though). 

Gany and Hank decided to hit the downtown to pick up some treats of the sweet variety - Gany will hit the treadmill tomorrow....and Hank will give it a good five minutes of consideration.

LordAltros - Who Stole the Look?

Not really sequential, just a fun set of pics by LordAltros- two gals keep running into each other...and one is copying the other's look...how does that work again?

Gift Art Update

Some beautiful new images added to the Gift Art page courtesy of Synthean.  A continuation of last year's "Fashionable Problems" sequence.

Janexas - Watching the Seasons

Very sorry for the long delays between posts lately.  We will get a few more things moving in the next few months.  Lots going on with different unrelated work and projects (funds are starting to reappear so that might speed things up too). 

As a quick reminder - if you have an old email address attached to your paypal account, please check it because I respond to the paypal email address if I have a question about your donation.

So - as a longtime patreon supporter (I had to cut back a bit the last few months) of some artists, I had the opportunity to commission some special pieces.  These were part of a little themed series I had going with Janexas for a while.  Hard to keep a perfect theme running, but let me know what you think (bonus points if you can ID all the breeds):

immortaltom - Patreon Pics

So, if you've been following immortaltom on patreon (I think he posted them on DA as well) - you may have seen these pics he did for me.  His normal tier for a one-char pic is $25/month for a pic every month - I worked out an arrangement for significantly more than that in order to work on a 2 char. set of concept pics.

No process per se, but some fun little pics.  You may or may not like the wordplay :)

Pin Up Mega Post

Still around...just been really really busy with life.  Lots of good stuff going on - but hard to stay focused here and there.

I will be doing a patreon-focused post or two (or three) in the near future, but for the moment, let's post a stack of pin-up singles I've been commissioning.  Generally I prefer the sequential art, but there are times that single pics work well and I like to support the artists.

We'll start with a couple pics from a newer artist - first time here - 13Saturn.  They've got a bit of a nifty theme - if you like bimbo or milf art at least.  Some nice animations on their page too.

Cobalt_k - Portraits (1992)

This'll probably be the last pic in the series for a while, but we have pretty much rounded out the 20th Century - so it's as good a place for a break as any.

Art by Cobalt_k.

Apologies for the lack of other recent art - more projects in the pipeline as always....just waiting on them.

Cobalt_k - Portraits (1986)

Sincere apologies again for the lack of recent posts.  Things have been fairly busy around here - and still waiting on several new (and older) projects to wrap up.

In the meantime, carbon dating....or something puts this next pic of  Mistress Arianna in the mid-80s.  Hard to pin some of these things down.

Cobalt_k - Portraits (1974)

Mistress Arianna keeping it classy all the way downtown!

Cobalt_k - Portraits (1968)

My work schedule has been a real mess this week - extremely busy.  I hope to have a solid block of time this weekend to get some writing done (no time last weekend).

In the meantime, let's examine another portrait of Mistress Arianna - we've already established that she's a fan of some mod fashions - and this colorized version gives us another impression of her.

Cobalt_k - Portraits (1955)

A little overdue again, but better late than never.

Mistress Arianna rocking the pin-up look this time around.

Cobalt_k - Portraits (1946)

I'm really getting behind with some of these posts - starting a new comic by a familiar artist on Saturday - but this spread of posts isn't necessarily intentional.  Lots going on at work and not much free time lately - although feeling a little more productive/fulfilled at work lately in spite of that.

Here we see Arianna around the end of her South Pacific Follies period - or perhaps just reliving some of the fun in the sun.

Cobalt_k - Portraits (1932)

Continuing our project, a little style pic from the 30s.  Maybe not quite as fashionable under the circumstances, but still attractive.

Great job by Cobalt_k.

 

Snareser - I am the Law!

A new, very beautiful piece by snareser/StockmanArt - I always try and snag a project from him when he's got slots open.  I've still got a few more pics by him that are being saved for another, larger project, that'll probably get posted here eventually.

"Control, Dredd - scratch that meat wagon request, Resyk can take 'em."

As long as you're checking out the new additions to the gallery - be sure to check out the new books Snareser's been working on: the TPB of Anti-Hero just came out - waiting on my copy, but I can testify from the e-versions - it's a tight little piece with some excellent art and a very well handled story.  I'm also waiting to check out my copies of his new series Reyn - hopefully I'll make it to my comic store sooner or later :)

Gift Art Update!

Nothing too big tonight - just a few pieces of gift art/quick one-shots - by immortaltom and new artist deliciousTFs.

Much more planned for the next few weeks - stay tuned!

Sal Valia - Isher in Repose

This next piece is a little different - and I'm particularly happy with it and how it turned out as a standalone piece.  Honestly....it's not actually my first piece of commissioned fan-art for another artist's OC - but it's pretty close.  But this is definitely the first piece of art commissioned specifically in response to an artist I found through Cheasy's podcasts.

Sal Valia was featured on S2E2 of the Changing Times transformation podcast.  Through his participation, I found out about his excellent transformation-themed fantasy comic "The Out Of Placers."  I gotta say, he's really done an excellent job with world-building here.  A number of different, unique races and species - very different from the average fantasy tropes - he goes into some detail on the background on the podcast which I highly recommend.  The characters themselves are well formed and grow on you very fast.  This became an instant must-read for me after I went through the archives and I look forward to every new post.

Honestly...one of the few webcomics that's ever resonated with me on a really emotional scale - ie. this strip.  Talk about sad.

Anyhoo....I love the character of Isher - and she does have some similarities to some of the other characters I've been working on.  After seeing this pic of her - I really had to commission something too.

CallMePo - Mistress and Maidservant circa 1815

Another excellent portrait of Mistress Arianna and Candy by CallMePo.

It seems Candy has some apparent talent for the shamisen.  The kimonos are the winter variety - gets chilly in Kyoto around this time of year (well....any year).

LillyVaine - Additions to the Moonagerie

LillyVaine is another artist who appears to have been around for a little while - judging from her DA - but for some reason, I just hadn't come across her gorgeous gallery and commissioned her.

Sooo, 'bout time we fixed that - taking advantage of her Moonagerie commission special last month.

Going with some "old dependable" looks up front as always :)

Starting off with a French Poomoodle.

Cobalt_k - Portraits (1927)

Ahhh, the roaring 20s - reign of the Charleston, speakeasies, and the flapper.

Cobalt_k managed to catch a quick glimpse of Mistress Arianna on her way to a fancy party - some joint owned by a Gatsby fella or some such.

Cobalt_k - Portraits (1915)

Cobalt_k is back with another period pic of Mistress Arianna - sweet as always.  I believe it's from right before she headed off to the Western Front.
