Some WIPs of my setting :>

Helps to take a break from drawing anthros now and then to get some gritty vibes.

I have a lot in progress but I'm just bottlenecked on posting my final paintings atm.

I'm going to try and post more silly doodles now that my main paintings take so long.

Fortunately Procyon is a gremlin so there's no lack of ideas -

Sorry for the quiet. Went to Megaplex, did Megaplex stuff, got con crud and now we're back :>

No I will not elaborate :)

Have two (2) bois instead. (WIP)

A similar composition, one year apart :>

A lil WIP on one of the upcoming paintings (I work on ~3 at a time).

I'm trying to re-use old paintings I have lying around (top left), but the idea ended up changing.

Bottom right is a photobash attempt - the composition still wasn't working for me. I like the top right.

Also ✨larger bois✨.

Progress post :> From finished to sketch.

Having a better PC for Blender/volumetric rendering really helped with this one.

Also - there's a ton of photos I took of Detroit/Chicago for this that I bashed in. You can kinda see them if you look closely.

Idk how often I should post WIPs (not sure if anyone cares about spoilers) but here's part of the ideation process for a future piece. I usually work several paintings ahead.

Lots of photos, both that I've taken and vintage film, mixed with super rough value sketches.

I'm going to be really sad when I finish the prison break arc of this comic and I don't have a reason for them to all my characters to be shirtless :/

"Hey Axle, keep up! You're lucky I don't charge for these tours."

Procyon insists that this is the 'scenic route.'

Two (2) Bois™ out on the town, hangin out but don't worry about what happened to their shirts it was crucial to the plot honest

Process time!

1. The original thumbnail I did when storyboarding + an ill-fated spin-off (I have a skyline fetish).
2. Re-thumbnailing the idea (fml look at the bottom right).
3. I redo the lines after I'm ok with the rough painting.
4. The half-rendered layer :>

There's so many more. I'll archive

"Well hey - the plan worked, didn't it?"

Axle is seriously considering just swimming back to jail at this point :>

So excited to keep this story going!! For now, I'm focusing on just the art. Once it's all done I'll go back and compile everything into a book.

Love you guys🧡

Here's the full outfit lineup for my fox Riley :>

I forgot how fun character ref sheets are haha.

All these concepts are all for the same comic that I'm working on. I have more over on my main page!

Quick repost of my boyes Procyon and Axle. My favorite paintings of them so far :>

I have the next 4 comic pages are done, but I'm serious about quality over quantity these days. They'll slowly trickle out over the next few weeks.

Thanks for sticking with me <3

Also narratively it works well because it visually separates Axle more from Procyon in perspective - Axle is pisssed haha.

Ran into a fun problem I thought could be helpful to share.

When I took the ref (left) the lens on my phone made me to take it from farther back, squashing the perspective.

The close-up 3D render (right) made it clear it could be more dynamic.

FOV is really important :>
