A Were's First Page 8
The follow up to hair growth - muscle and mass. His line of work has left him pretty built as is but there is always room for improvement!
Were's First 8 Teaser
Curtis' transformation takes a step forward - and it feels worse than hair growth.I did some timing on how long it takes to do the hair/fur effects on the comic. 3 and a half hours just doing the hair. Now I kind of wish I didn't know how long it takes because at the time of making this post, his shirt is still...
Were's First 7 Teaser and Process
This page hardly deviated from the original thumbnail sketch which makes it a good example to share my process! What we are looking at is panel 2. After the sketch is cleaned up, the sketch is lined with clean line art.Then the lines are filled with flat colors of the character under normal lighting conditions. For hai...
Crack a Smile
August 2021 illustration now for all tiers!What started as a new profile picture ended up getting lower and lower trying to fit as much as I could make work and this is as far as I was willing to go. It makes for a really great phone wallpaper!I can't even tell if this is SFW or NSFW :\
Tier Change-up?
So I talked with a more experienced Patreon using friend about what they think my tiers should look like. They suggest that, because I am so new to the platform, I should lower my highest tier to 3 dollars and then lower my middle tier to 1 dollar.Later on, once I have earned my following, I can bump up the 1 dollar ti...
A TF in the Woods
Just a quick proof of concept of the next illustration. I'm currently focusing on the comic but I still wanna do what I can for y'all. I really appreciate the support!
Were's First 6 Tease
I'm still not entirely sure what I want to do with this comic and Patreon. In total honesty, I have 6 more pages fully rendered. I want to include them as rewards for patrons, but I also don't want to lose the buffer that I have because coming pages are taking longer and longer to complete. If I lose the buffer...
A Were's First (Transformation Comic)
Page 40: A threat to life :(
Military
Curtis and Jeremy serving in the Gulf War.
Studies
So this would be Curtis attempting to understand what goes on during the changes. There are 3 phases of change that will be explored in the comic sequence. Human to beast-man, beast-man to man-beast or a were, and then the were to feral. More transformations, more to love!
Stretch
Same friend in the same VRChat world waking up and stretching. You could call it a follow-up. This is a lineless painted style. I have a bit of experience doing this but I have a lot to practice on still.I wish I could afford to live in my own place and have the freedom to sleep nude lol. Thank all of you guys, gals, n...
In the Cozy Cabin
I play a bit of VRChat with friends. This is my friend's sona/avatar in his home world having a VERY satisfying session. I have yet to achieve such satisfaction :(
Werebear Reference
Curtis and the Wisp reference. Subject to change as things tend to go.
Bronco
Shockingly one of my more popular pieces. As a non-car person, I forgot how passionate car people can be! One of my more detailed pieces with about 30 layers used! I can think of many more layers that could have been used lolCurtis still has great hair despite heavy rain.
Ghostbusters 2
I added "subtle" easter eggs to this one. The werewolf on the left is a Halloween prop that foreshadows Curtis becoming a werewolf. And the Halloween Fest banner behind them has a censored year because I wasn't sure that I could have them go to a Halloween party unmasked in 2020 lol
Ghostbusters!
I've been holding onto this one since the original Ghostbusters drawing I did. I was worried that people would be iffy on seeing the characters as kids but that logic is flawed. We were all kids once. Anyways this is the photo they recreate as adults! I tried my hand at that 'gross, yellowed, flash lit photogra...
Diner
Jeremy and Curtis would head to the diner after work to shoot the shit before heading home for the day. Lately, however, Jeremy has noticed a change in his lifelong friend. He'll do anything he can to help, but Curtis just isn't talking.The wisp beside Curtis issues him a warning to keep the Guardian a secret. ...
2 Hot (Original)
Two images that preceded the "Too Hot" piece that is public. These are part of the original transformation sequence that would become the comic. The idea of doing full size illustrations for the long and detailed sequence I envisioned was not time efficient and was scrapped.
New Profile pic!
Kind of oxymoronic if you ask me. I like my transformations painful and traumatic but my colors vibrant and bright!
Transformation WIP sketch
I've been wanting to update my profile picture to something more fitting and I think this is it! I'm loving how its coming along - I hope you do too!
Too Hot
This image was actually a part of the original sequence that eventually became A Were's First transformation comic. It was going to be a sequence of images in full scale that would become a full length transformation. I was inspired by a FurAffinity artist's transformation sequence. Their name is/was Sondrewolf...
Lumberwork
Jeremy doesn't get enough time in the spotlight so this one was made deliberately for him. See Curtis way in the back there? He's tiny for once lol. This was a challenge to myself to do some perspective work and some overcast lighting. A real changeup for me.I should learn how lumberjacks work if I plan to writ...
A Minor Threat
This one was a lot of fun to draw. I enjoy lighting and shading the most out of the entire illustrating process and enjoyed the challenge of drawing the blades of grass in and out of the shadows. It created a sense of depth that I was soooooooo satisfied with.Originally, this piece had a story about Curtis being brough...
Scarecrow
Fun fact: This piece was done with a confrontation to a witches den in mind. The clouds in the background are in the shape of a witch on a broom. It's not supposed to be super hidden nor super important to the piece, I just don't know if anyone noticed it haha
Gator Dad
Sometimes you just get to that point of no return where you gotta be satisfied. He's reached that point.The shiny effects are fun to do but they're also a pain in the ass sometimes haha
Skipping the Wereform Variants
This piece was originally inspired from the days I'd be out late playing with friends when I was younger and being told to come home when the streetlights turned on. The day to night sky can be very pretty and I wanted to make some drawing around that time of transition. So I drew a man's transition into a bear...
Tiger Transformation
Someone requested a drawing of themselves turning into a tiger in bed under a full moon. I would have liked to do a whole comic but I can only handle one comic at a time at the moment.
Bearwave Variants
I like to have options with my arts so I made his clothes and towel removable!
A Were's First 5 Teaser
A fun challenge in background work. I enjoy doing backgrounds a little more than I should because they take so long to render sometimes.
Going for Distance
Full resolution image of a bear shooting for distance.
