Artist, woodworker, miniature painter and RPG enthusiast. I mostly draw porn for my own amusement and have a soft spot for catgirls and mechs. Shirow-style landmates and battlesuits make my day (and anything Hatchetman).
If bsky is going forward with censorship practices based on input from 14k users (that is 4 orders of magnitude less than their actual number of users) thus enforcing censorship on NSFW and freedom of expression... I'm leaving yet again. Solution seems to be to create my own site for my art.🛤️

An evening doodle while I was watching Discount Tukayyid games. Earlier today I listened to a BPL podcast episode where Eldonius Rex was being interviewed. He mentioned that his knowledge in art made it possible to draw mechs with flow and motion. That made me to think: Should I try to use mine?

I've been drawing quite lot lately. Just not many inked works. Pencil has been the tool of late. Most of the works are more like going through the joy of drawing while not really thinking of what to draw. Seems that the subject matter has been Jinoara mostly (OC). Non-canon, yet joy to draw.

Been a while since I posted any Tailchaser art. Wanted to create a kind of badge. Was thinking of adding text around the ring or on the background but I'd rather explore that out digitally without spoiling the actual drawing. Did some fixes on the original after taking the photo.

I've gotten the impression overall during past year on different platforms that pencil art never really catches attention. Inked work does better and greatest attention can be had with colored work, unless the inked/pencil work is exceptional. Just a thought. Here is a shorstack something.

Pencil drawing. Just wanted to try to draw the same character as yesterday but as a chibi character. Instead it turned into a shortstack and from behind. After taking the photo and did some horizontal flipping I noticed that the balance is off. Oh well. At least I drew something. :)

Originally this was just a doodle. As I continued constructing the body I remembered a Cyberpunk RED character that I did not have art for. So I went with that. A Medtech with Demonique™️ Exotic Package with not much else gear to go with. Style over substance.

Here is the battlesuit drawing I mentioned yesterday. This is from few months back. Photo has been taken with different phone and the way the app scales down images is a bit odd. I have to figure that out at later time.

NSFW Shortstack catgirl doodling. Just wanted to draw and it has been while since I've posted anything here. I actually do have a battlesuit drawing that I've not posted here... Have to fix that. Anyway: Shortstacks!

Shaped the dowels, reamed the bench part for those dowels. Made mistakes. Fixed mistakes. Glued the whole thing together, made mistakes with gluing, disassembled it and made quick fixes. Then reassembled...

Drew this janitor. I got inspired from a round of SS14. She has pants.

Been doing woodworking. Making dowels for chair legs without a lathe is a skill that I need to hone.

Drew this few days ago. Tried to go with more curvature for the pose as I have a habit to draw more rigid poses. Drawing evolved in the process many times. Mistakes were made and lessons learned.

Wanted to draw something from low angle. Didn't really know what it will be so I just kept doodling. This is the result. It has issues with angle and balance. However, it was fun to draw and I learned something new. :)

Talked with 92 yo grandmother. Kernel of our chat: "Acknowledge what is coming, face it when it comes. Meanwhile, enjoy the day." From what I know of her history, I think she knows what she is talking about.

Anyway! Here is a drawing! It is not Frankie even though hairstyle was an inspiration.

Doing type(setting?) with shaky hands results in illegible difficult to read text. Drawback of doing exercise and wanting to draw soon after. 😀

Tailchaser's epiphany in an observation room!

There is a joke and some setting references.

Old friend from years back asked if I was interested playing in a Mystara BECMI-campaign for nostalgia's sake. I said yes! For me it is dive into history rather than nostalgia.

Here is Avicenna, Elf from Minrothad.

Digital with simplified shading. Color is always a challenge. 😄

Picked a random article on Sarna and drew a picture of an event related to the character in the article. Character in question is not named here.

Wanted to draw but didn't have anything specific in mind so I challenged myself. Went with "draw quick" approach so Wasp and Zeus are not as detailed.

Tailchaser in yet another advert. Canopus Industries Alpha produces Autocannons and Pike to name few.

During inking, the expression changed. So this didn't quite come out as I originally intended. I drew this page around 6 times so paper began taking damage.

Tailchaser doing a collaboration with MechFans and KittenSocks. She is bit annoyed about this but ammo doesn't pay for itself.

Saw similar socks in real life and got inspired. 😀

HUMAN ARTISTS, use one piece to convince people to follow you

Ehh... I think my thing is to draw gremlin energy cute-lewd and mech-tech-porn with hidden jokes and references if at all possible. If I manage to make you smile or brighten you day, I'm happy.

My favorite from year 2024

I drew this simultaneously with the picture in previous post. I remember thinking of doing something different to break tension from fingers by drawing round forms and something soft. Occurrence here is non-canon. 😄

Inked on same day as previous.

Picture of Tailchaser drawn around new year's eve. Inked yesterday. Tried to figure out hooded leotard/under-suit.

It takes time after a long break for hand-eye to find the correct pencil/pen pressure. I feel so heavy handed now. It is passing - as long as I keep drawing that is.

Had a bit of pause. I drew this around Christmas. Tailchaser pin-up. Noticed that I had not posted this so. Here goes!

Tailchaser trying to enjoy her evening out.

What is the term for evening leave from military base? Is there a term for it?

Drawing that figuratively drew itself. I tried to correct the idiom as originally I wrote it wrong. Challenge in expressing ideas through limited medium of language.

Tailchaser in Urbie-dress. Don't really know what the occasion is for her dressing like this. Celebrations of sort? Is it jultide-celebrations they are having with the platoon?

I have been spending time on resting and seems that flu season has come. Pace of posting drawings might slow down a bit.

Guest researcher giving a presentation.

This was challenging as figuring out how to present an object moving towards camera in a still image. If it is not clear, that is a Marauder from beneath.

Quote is from the man itself. (Thanks!)
Also: Which book? Which scene?
