Heart of the Forge // Dammon!

Alright so those of you who's on my Sinner tier with access to my NSFW work know that I sometimes I accompany a spicy oneshot text with my paintings, as a treat. Nothing serious, just a for funsies. This time, I'm making it available to everyone.

I wasn't going to write anything smutty for Dammon. He's cute but also he's not like my fave fave, he's not an obsession, ya kno I mean he's alright but not like the best ya kno

Anyway here's my 1k word DammonxKarlach piece

Dammon WIP [NSFW]

I think I'm finally getting the hang of this. I always use references when I paint, but I find it easier and easier to freestyle and experiment with the male form. One year ago I struggled so much, and it's fantastic to feel more confident.

Really looking forward to showing y'all the SFW version as well. I'm modifying his in-game outfit to be so slutty lmao

added in a rough background - went in game and took a few snapshots of his forge and put it right in there! Don't know if it's staying, but it's a ...

Dammon (flats) [NSFW]

I don't know why, but as I was pondering my next project, stupid sexy Dammon just KEPT popping into my head; smiling, wiping a sweaty brow, covered in soot and grease. He was not letting me go. and where inspiration takes me, I must follow.
Astarion and Wyll are gonna have to wait - but I do intend to complete the main crew, so rest assured, they're on the list.

First hurdle of this painting is that, unlike the companions, I cannot undress Dammon at will to peek at what's underneath. Neither can anyone else I suppose, so nobody w...

Whooo?? Rough sketch [NSFW]

Also see on slide 2; the actual rough sketch. Sometimes my sketches come out near perfect, other times... more blobby. Today was a blob day, initially.
Blame it on the fact that it was done at 1 am on my surface tablet - a nifty little thing but I feel I don't have a lot of control on it compared to my PC. It's almost like my eyes and hands are operating on 70% efficiency when I use it, so I mostly use it to jot ideas down when I want to be comfy.

Isn't it funny how most of my initial sketches are dickless? It's just a lot...

Gale WIP

Gale m'boy

he's so bby girl i swear to god. Looking a bit too solemn here so ill adjust it a lil bit

Finally got that likeness down! Still a fair amount of work left, but I'm pretty happy with the progress and how it's looking. I got a fairly elaborate SFW version cooking (at least more elaborate than my usual "skintight dark-brown pants" sfw hahah) and I'm so excited to show you the finished pieces!

Gale Rough WIP [NSFW]

BOOM
Funny how wildly different a sketch can look with colors. I was looking at this for a while just thinking 'how the heck am I going to tackle this?'
Well, I decided to tackle the background first, making sure the sunny vibes were in place so I can better harmonise him with the environment when I do start painting him.

With the colors down, its time to work on the likeness and render some boobies, my favourite part

Gale Lineart [NSFW]

I am impressed so many of you managed to guess Gale! Especially considering you had absolutely nothing except vague vibes to go off of.

Parts of this is still quite off, but please dont worry! but ill work more on likeness later when we've got some colors and light down.

Who's that character?! [NSFW]

its like 'whos that pokemon' but better. as you can see, ive started a new sketch! can you guess who it is based on vibes alone?

Halsin + Shadowheart [SFW]

Slight Shadowheart Act 3 spoilers;

Without waiting for her answer, he slid off the bed, his hands sliding along the slope of her waist, the gentle curve of her lean thigh. He drank her in with his eyes and hands, and thought her as beautiful in the golden hues of morning sunlight as in the light of her new goddess, Selune. Though he followed the Oak Father, he'd always had a soft spot for the moon.

Another creative writing exercise today, full text accompanying the ...

Halsin + Shadowheart WIP

the hair gods have blessed me this day, his hair just clicked immediately. It's so soft looking dang

It's starting to shape up pretty well, got the colors down, shadowhearts got a face, feeling relatively good about how it's looking. Really going for that warm and soft ethereal vibe, and it's looking promising.

Next update will be the finished piece! Will be posted late next week I reckon ✌️

Quinlar // Finished HOFAS + my opinions on it

matching portraits for Hunt and Bryce, the main characters of Sarah J Maas's Crescent City books! the third book and conclusion to Bryce's story came out a bit over a week ago, which was good timing for my wrist surgery (which went well and is healing great).

Hunt is bae <3

Don't read the rest of this post if you haven't finished House of Flame and Shadow!

I just finished House of Flame and Shad...

Halsin + Shadowheart WIP

the idea is idea-ing! its already looking a lot better, if we ignore the fact that shadowheart doesnt have a face. still a way to go until its finished, especially considering ill need to make an sfw version as well, but im feeling good about it. these intricate scenes always end up taking much longer than first anticipated so i reckon at least one more update after this before its finished!

now, time for me to get back to reading hofas 

Halsin x Sheart WIP - some rudementary colors?

*nervous chuckle* eh-heh-.  ive no idea what im doing

I'm not sure why but linework just wasn't line-working with this one, so I'm just gonna wing it and opted for a more sculpt-y workflow, shaping shapes and colors where I feel like it might make sense, and praying it'll turn out fine in the end. which is a brand new workflow for me! I gotta be honest lads, this will either turn out great or absolutely not great. We'll find out.

Either way, Halsin is enjoying a snack. Yumz. 

2024 Roadmap

A plan is worthless, but planning is everything. This holds true in both war and smutty content. I've spent some time mapping out what 2024 has in store me, and I can't wait to take you along for the journey.

Surgery 🏥

For the past year, I've had a mysterious lump on my drawing wrist - but I finally have an appointment next week to (hopefully) get it sorted.

Which is great! However, I will need to rest my wrist for a while afterward. I've worked overtime and prepared some work for Patreon, so hopefully, you wo...

Values, values... [NSFW][WIP]

I did the really rough sketch initially with Hunt and Bryce (gym scene) in mind. But as I kept working on the sketch, it didn't quite feel right for them. (The gym scene also very low key gives me the ick because of how fucking sweaty they both are at that point lmfao). (But I promise, Hunt and Bryce is the highest on my to-draw list. I just need to find the right fit for them.)

This sketch however? This one feels perfect for the celebratory hanky panky after defeating the end boss of BG3. No spoilers here, just a hap...
