Uniform Fitting

This is a piece for 1879. The brief called for a woman being fitted for a British lieutenant's uniform. I wound up doing more research on the seamstress's dress than I did for the military uniform (which was fairly easy to find). I also kind of queered this up, given the expression on the soldier's face. Nothing overt, though.

Ivanna and the Wolf sketch

A warm-up watercolor sketch this morning for the Ivanna and the Wolf project I'll be starting soon (I hope). Plus, I just bought some new watercolor paper that I haven't tried before and I wanted to see how it fared. It's not bad, though my watercolor chops are reallllly rusty right now. Also feeling out the style I want to use on the project. I think I'm going to go a bit more cartoony.

Sci-Fi Illustrations

These are a couple of illustrations I've done for a science fiction novel. I'm on the hook for five of these and the cover. Here are the two I've scanned for the client so far. I should have been done with these last week, but I suffered a blow to the head last month that scrambled my ability to draw for a week or two. I think I'm better now.

Miscelaneous Life Drawings

I've been going to life drawing sessions the last few weeks. Here are a couple of the drawings I've made there.

This model was extremely pregnant. She gave birth two weeks after the session.

Both of these are of the same model on different days. Pitt pen with no underdrawing on the first. Red col-erase Prismacolor pencil on the second.

Girl with Umbrella

I've been having a bit creative block recently. Every time I've started drawing, what I'm drawing has turned to crap on the page. This drawing is an attempt to move beyond that. It's nothing in particular, based on a photo from The Sartorialist. It's mostly a intended to demonstrate to myself that I haven't in fact forgotten how to draw. This is brush and ink on Bristol board. It's for sale at my Etsy store if you like it enough that you want to own it.

Meanwhile, my comics Kickstarter is entering the long middle slog until the end. Check it out here.

Shameless Self-Promotions: The Long Delayed Exiles Kickstarter

So after months of foot-dragging, I've finally got this going: I have a Kickstarter. I'm trying to fund a collection of my transgender-themed comics (some of which you can read here). If it seems like I'm trying my level best to avoid doing nine-to-five work between Patreon and this, well, you would be correct. Ideally, I'll never have to go back to the capitalist employment model ever again. In the mean time, I have to sell myself to you, dear potential patron. Anyway, I've put a lot of work and love into this comic. I don't think you need to be trans to enjoy it (I have it on the authority of my cis friends that it reads pretty well). It IS pretty sexually explicit, but hopefully not exploitative. Anyway, check it out and back it if you like what you see.
