From the Artist Desk - Jill's Sandwich

Sometimes you find the darndest things lying around a hentai artist's desk!

(WIP sketch featuring Jill Valentine getting some 'sandwich' action.)

Samus Hardcore Suit

Just wanted to share this Samus drawing while I'm sketching away at the next big picture for Cutepet. Sketches like this often help me to feel out a character before drawing them in a more elaborate image.

Since Samus's design also has several variations, it also helped to pin-down one specific look. While creating this sketch, I ended up cobbling together my favorite aspects from her various designs, making this version of Samus a sort of 'Cutepet exclusive'.

P.S. Members, log onto Cutepet to see the new full color hardcore hentai Samus x Chozo pic. Non-members, you can sneak a peek in our preview gallery here. :)

Kingdom Hearts' Xion WIP

Here is the work up for the Kingdom Hearts' Xion image, from character design to final illustration.

The process starts with a character design turnaround. In the case of fanart, the character design stage is less about designing the character (since she is already designed), and more about "feeling out" the design details in my style. Xion wears a figure-obscuring long coat, so determining her physique was another aspect of the process.

Next, I came up with a rough idea for the pose.

Once I was satisfied with the composition and pose, I set about drawing it. Here you can see the clean pencils, ready for inking.

Then I prepared the general lighting, color scheme and background.

After that, it was matter of inking and coloring the character. Check out the finished image on Cutepet!

Ryougi Shiki WIP 2

Here's some more workups and sketches from the Ryougi Shiki picture:

Here you can see how I refined the rough sketches and concepts along the top into the final three picture candidates I posted in the last WIP post. Of the three concepts, I ended up going with image concept #2, which further refined into the bottom three sketches you see in this picture.

To really nail the anatomy, I took my favorite version of the sketch, and started breaking down the perspective:

Perspective isn't just for backgrounds. The character also conforms to the vanishing points. If you look closely at the top image, you can see where her body used to be, and how it was reworked to follow the perspective.

Working from the bottom blue sketch, next I did a final clean pencil drawing, and then finished it with the inks and color. A lot of love and time goes into each of our images, as I hope these WIP show. :)

Ryougi Shiki WIP

New picture in the works... this is Ryougi Shiki from an anime series called Kara no Kyoukai.

When working out a new picture, I'll sometimes come up with multiple rough composition sketches. That allows me to try out different variations on a pose/camera angle, and see what works best. Stay tuned to find out which one I end up using.... :)

In keeping with the character design exercises I've been doing lately, here is a turnaround I did for Shiki:

Work in progress sketches continued in Ryougi Shiki WIP 2!
