Ring Queens Part 2, Pages 55 & 56
And done.
NOW ON SALE: The Big Fish In Small Ponds
This one is kind of an experiment, so it's being offered in different formats. There's the Standard Edition, which is done in my usual 3D-rendered style, and then the Special Edition, which has the same images adjusted to look as if they were drawn by hand. Each version is 16 pages and 127 images, and contains the same story. You can purchase either version for $5.99 on it's own, or you can buy the combo edition that includes both versions for $8.99.All 3 versions are available at my lulu.com store here:https://www.lulu.com/spotligh...
Tale Of The Tape Test
Haven't made one of these in a while, mainly because most of the numbers are just made up. (I know a lot of you think I have every character's win/loss record in a spreadsheet somewhere, but... no.) But the height and cup-size are based on actual measurements in the software.
USXBF tests...
I wanted the Extreme Boxing Federation fights in Brickwork to feel totally different from the regular boxing matches I've done before, like it's a promotion desperate to get an audience and willing to experiment. So, the lighting's totally different, the outfits are all skimpier, and they added the concept of penalty points:You earn a point for a knockdown, another point if they stay down longer than ten seconds and an additional point for every five seconds after that. The points can be saved up then used in later rounds, as long a...
Gwen vs. Olivia, page 8
To be continued next month!
"Brickwork" Sketches
Think I've got something figured out for the new characters I've been coming up with, as well as an idea for kind of a rival boxing federation that's smaller in scale but experiments with the rules. Awarding penalty blows for a knockdown, that kind of thing.
Brickhouse Roundup
Still goofing around and brainstorming a bit, since "Brick House" seems to be so popular. (Can't imagine why...)
Lighting tests...
(Note: Don't think these pics mean I intend to use Brickhouse as a "jobber" or anything like that. It's just that if I'm going to test how light looks on a single character, then it's more interesting to have them in a hurt/ injured/exhausted pose.)
Curvy-Girl Roundup!
Playing around with a set of curvier models I picked up, one who'll be acting as the ref for the Gwen vs. Olivia fight.

Final Beach Test
Allright, I think I have everything how I want it. Now to bust out some pages...
Back to the beach...
I'm thinking I'll use this new beach setting for the next story for the $5 tier that starts this month. I'd had an idea for a comeback match for ex-champ Gwen Carmichael back in June, and had a couple of images for it back in this post:https://www.patreon.com/posts/random-image-38627748But I like this setting better, and I like rendering sunny beachfights in the middle of winter.
Ring-building day.
Spent the day experimenting with rings. Built a new beach/sand ring after finding out there's a sand volleyball pit that actually comes with Daz Studio that looks better and renders faster than anything else.The other ring was inspired by the one used in the Tyson/Jones "fight" over the weekend. (No, I did not waste the money you all pay me to watch it. I just caught the highlights:)The white ring and ropes against the black background went well with some of the lighting techniques I've been studying in oil paintings from the Ba...
Welcome to December!
