December ’13 WWOTM – LaBarbara Conrad

I somehow found the time to wrap up my WWOEC Woman of the Month pic for December. I went through several ideas for this one, including an incest pic with her son and something involving limbo. In the end I went this route, mainly because I needed to keep it simple in order to complete it on time with all the Christmas fuss distracting me.

Originally Barbados wasn’t in this pic. My reference pic and my original sketch neither showed the guy’s face. However, after realizing how shocked LaBarbara looked (my intent had been moaning, but she looked shocked to me after I inked it), I decided to add the infidelity angle to pull it together. I think a negative side effect of that decision was Barbados’ body not lining up perfectly with his head, but I tweaked the lines some and I don’t think it’s distracting.

I was really concerned when I started this that I wouldn’t be able to adapt the Futurama/Simpsons style well. I’ve always found porn of those shows very subjective, and I think only very talented artists can successfully pull the style off and keep the picture sexy. While I don’t feel I completely nailed it here, I think I did well enough that I’d be comfortable doing other Futurama or Simpsons work in the future. I definitely think there are a few characters I’d like to draw, so if I find the time I may do that.

Toothless and Astrid Commission

Here’s a commission I recently did of Astrid and Toothless from DreamWorks’ “How to Train Your Dragon”. This image presented a unique challenge in Toothless, who differs greatly from what I’m used to drawing. Still, it was fun to learn a new body type, and I’m pretty satisfied with the end result of his scales, which was also something new I had to learn. Hopefully everyone will enjoy this picture as much as I did making it!

Persona 2 Girls

Of the multiple commissions I’m currently balancing, I somehow found time in the midst of holiday preparations to actually finish one! This is a picture of Eriko Kirishima, Maya Amano and Lisa Silverman of Persona 2. I’ve always found the Persona games to have remarkable style and design to them, to regretfully I’ve never played one. Still, it was fun to do this picture, which was commissioned by the same individual who did the earlier Maya pic.

November ’13 WWOTM – Rapunzel

The WWOEC Woman of the Month for November 2013 is Rapunzel from Disney’s Tangled. I loved Tangled, quite a bit, and Rapunzel’s depiction in it was part of why. Originally I had only planned to do one pic (it would’ve been the middle one), but then I decided it would be easy to do a glowy hair one. I wanted to show short-haired Rapunzel some love, too, so I found a similar picture (there are millions of pics with nearly this exact same pose, it’s crazy) and imitated the rope pattern to create the third pic.

I wish I could say I drew that background, but it’s taken from the movie. I did re-create the image over the screenshot to make it look more like the foreground, but that’s all I can take credit for there.

I tried a very different approach to this one in general, taking a few cues from mainstream porn sites like Taboolicious. I don’t think I’m particularly suited for this style, but it was a fun experiment and I’m happy with the end result.

JoJo’s Bizarre Beauties

Here we have a commission I recently completed featuring three girls from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Daiya Higashikata, Jolyne Kujo, and Yasuho Hirose. I admit, I’ve never read the manga or anything, but I’ve always been fascinated by some of the more pop-art covers in the mangas and video games and such. I took my cue with the colors from that style, which is why they’re all green and pink here. I had a lot of fun with these psychedelic colors, and hopefully you all will as well!

October ’13 WWOTM – Princess Peach

The WWOEC Woman of the Month for October, 2013 is Princess Peach of the Mario franchise. I’ve always really liked Peach, and I’m not sure exactly why. I mean yeah, she’s cute, but she doesn’t seem to have much more going for her on the surface. Maybe it’s just how she manages to be so super-feminine while still sounding like a guy trying to impersonate a girl. I can’t really put my finger on it, but I’d like to do more with Peach in the future.
