Red's Report (May Edition) (Patreon)

Hey all, it's been an interesting few weeks since the last update.

First up, super happy with the results of this drawing. I've enjoyed drawing some chubbier figures and I feel like it's really working out. For those of you who might be new, this started as a sketch in last month's poll. Though I hadn't decided at the time who it was going to be, but who better than Velma to thiccen up and turn into a pinup? I was also feeling extra inspired on the outfits for some reason, so this one's got about seven or so different outfit designs each with separate components allowing for several different combinations...I ended up with almost 100 variants on this one! Hope you guys enjoy em, it was a bit tricky keeping track of them all.

The full set will be uploaded to a separate post in a little while.

I actually have a bit of a suprise for you this time as well. I've been spending a lot more time drawing lately. I'm not sure if I mentioned this before but I made the switch from Photoshop to Clip Studio as an experiment a few months ago, and the more I've used it the more I like it. Kind of funny timing considering the recent drama Adobe saw fit to stir up lately...all the more reason to drop Creative Cloud for good. Anyway, I feel like using CSP has actually made drawing more enjoyable, so I've been doing it more, and getting more practice, and just generally feeling better about my work and feeling more motivated, so this month I actually finished a second illustration set. It's one that had also gotten some votes in the polls, so hopefully at least some of you are happy to see it finished. I know I'm glad to finally get to draw a finished Chun Li, been eyeing this sketch/pose in particular for a while. This one also has a bunch of variants, not quite as many as Velma but I also felt like doing something a bit weirder this time...I'll let you figure that out on your own. ;)

As usual, I'll post the full set in a separate post soon.

Not a lot of visual progress on Samus--last time I shared some UI elements so lately I've been working on getting them into Unity and trying to figure out how I actually want to arrange them. What I really need is to set some time aside to figure out what I want the actual buttons to look like...hopefully more on that next month.

So I think the only thing left to mention is the poll, which is simply that I'll post that later this week so we can start getting votes in.

Thank you so much for your support, and I'll see ya next time!
