Starfire Character Models

I am working— albeit slowly, on the new animation. I’ve decided to get very ambitious with this one, and make it longer and more complex than the previous one I attempted. It’s gonna tell a mini story, and I’m aiming for more flexibility and expressiveness. I bought “The Animator’s Survival Kit,” by Richard Williams, and I’m picking up some good tips, hopefully. I was a little disappointed in the lack of growth in my last animatio...

Demona

Here’s another monthly sketch-turned-into-inked-and-colored pinup, of Demona from Disney’s Gargoyles.

Duuuuuuune

Some high-tier supporters have been trading in their monthly sketches for further refinement of an original sketch. Here’s an example, Alia from Dune.

Sketchy Sketches

For highest tier supporters, Belle and what’s-her-name, from that Poke-thingy.

The Princess And Squanky McG.

Comic this Fall, to Fox! (j/k, though how awesome would that be?)

Jackanapes V, Page 6

Poor Carl (that’s the name of the skinny guard in my head). That tunic’s never gonna stay clean...I really like how Squanknut’s character design turned out, and I irrationally love the last panel. I don’t love how I couldn’t find a page layout that really shows it off.FYI, it’s important to me that although characters are probably gonna be threatened with it somewhat frequently, for plot and world-building reasons, that no one’s act...

The Next Animation Subject Is...

Starfire, taking on Raven’s dark magic tentacles. She won the poll given to my highest tier supporters. I LOVE Starfire, so I’m gonna make sure I do the best I can. I’ll get her started next month.

Daphne’s New ‘Do Excerpts

Title says it all...

Jackanapes V Page 5

The story demanded Daphne have an appearance change, and the chorus of “Rosie is much hotter than Daphne” was getting louder, so I had to find a way to make Daphne recognizable to the reader, yet ostensibly not to other characters. Viola! New haircut solves all the problems!

Daphne’s New ‘Do

I do find short hair quite sexy, at times

Strip Search .MP4

Pay no attention to the lower quality .gif heading this; just posted that for ease of loading.Here’s the .mp4Whaddya think?

Strip Search

“I told you, Batman, I don’t have the Cat’s Eye Emerald!”“Knowing you, Selena, you’ve got it stashed away somewhere secure, and known only to you.””You may be right... maybe you should search me.””That’s not— I mean, the female officers at Blackgate are more than capable of conducting a thorough—“”I think you should search me. Here and now. Look, I’ll make it easy for you.”“—“”Make sure you’re VERY thor...

Catwoman Stripping Basic Color

I’ve done some testing with highlights and shading, and think it’ll be awesome once that’s in. Also, the timing and pauses I put in previously to add character and make her more natural have been stripped, temporarily. Don’t worry— they’ll be back. Timing is especially important in this animation, as getting from point A to point B straightaway is NOT the same as adding some slow, sultry tease to the mix.

Page 4 excerpts

Separated out all the fucking for ya. You’re welcome.

What’s next, indeed...

Catwoman Stripping WIP MP4

I’m actually shocked at the size of even a normal res gif file. The only .gif that would load on the site is practically pixel art.

Catwoman Animation WIP #2

It’s months like this that I’m glad I never promised to finish an animation per month. Typically I can count on some free time at work to draw, and some time to draw after the kids go to bed. But with COVID-19, work is busier, and the kids are home from school, so getting time away is much harder. Obviously, many have it much worse, so I’m not complainin, just explaining...Nevertheless, even though the original plan was to share WIP only wi...

Sketchy Sketches

For highest-tier supporters, Demona from Disney’s Gargoyles and a character from Dune whose name escapes me...

Catwoman Animation WIP #1

This is just a modified key frame animation. Modified because I lack some patience and put a little more in, but key frame because it shows the major movement frames in the animation.Art’s actually moving a little slower than usual, because my day work is just as busy, if not more so lately, but the kids are all off school because of the virus. So all the time in the evenings I used to be able to draw in peace, is gone. Small problems, I know, ...

Totally Spent

Finally finished an old commission for a very patient commissioner, of Sam from Totally Spies being trained by an OC, Roxy

Totally Spent (Sketch)

Very old, very procrastinated commission in progress for a very patient commissioner.

Flicker (Finger + Lick ‘er)

Some flickering flames from the last Jackanapes page, without the distracting words

General Amaya

One last pinup I owed from before the transition: General Amaya from The Dragon Prince. Which, if you haven’t seen it, is a pretty good show...

Jackanapes V, Page 3

I do like Rosie in the last panel A LOT. Aaanyway, you guys are really patient in waiting till I get to the action; I like to think it’s because with all the sparkling wordplay and humor, the nudity and sex just isn’t that important. Anyway, rest assured that in uncertain times, Jackanapes is 100% Coronavirus-free (it’s rife with crotch fairies, though)On another note, I must beg some forgiveness, and a small favor. The forgiveness is this�...
