August 2015 Patreon supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

Ara ara~

"The Wolf" requested this, and selected 'flat coloring'.

Reward: Plant

A patron requested I try plant vore, with a "pod" sort of thing. 

Reward character

This is the avatar of one of my patrons.  They requested I draw a body based on a given head/face.  I tried a couple of versions.

HipHugger practice 03

I like how the sense of "oof!" came through on this one.

Refund and updates

I've finished refunding all the donations for the latest flash loop.  I wanted to make sure everyone was only charged for the 'end of July, start of August' cycle.

I've got some more drawings in the works, and my patrons will have first access.  I'm going to see about adding more reward tiers, as well as making some ongoing art categories.  Things like 'interview with HipHugger', or 'yoga with Hiphugger', and possibly an adventure comic of some kind.

Stay tuned!

HipHugger practice 02

More practice.  Still getting the hang of lighting, but I hope the implied movement works ok.  Thanks for hanging in there, everyone.

Attention Savage Patrons!

I regret to inform you that there was an accidental double charge for July.  I will be refunding this as soon as possible.

This error was due to the change from "per animation" to "per month".   You can expect to see a message about this in the next day or so.

Sorry for the inconvenience,

-Art Savage

HipHugger practice 01

I'm trying to get a better handle on light, shading, etc.  I'm going to be doing a lot of sketching and speedpainting this month.  I hope folks enjoy.  Early access here on patreon.

July 2015 Patreon supported

Thank you so much for the support this month!

July 2015

Hello again.  Here is a flash loop for July, with a .webm file included.  This one is a somewhat shorter loop.  If you've worked with flash, you know that getting shape tweens to behave can be tricky.

This will be my last 'pay per upload' file.  After this, I will be adjusting my account be a 'monthly donation' model.  I enjoy animation and will continue to do so, but I would like to try to expand my repertoire.

I hope to spend some months doing comics, long term projects, and other ideas.

Please adjust your donation to a level you feel comfortable with.

Thanks again for all your support.

HipHugger on sofa (reward)

Thank you for your support.

HipHugger on a sofa, as requested by one of my patrons.  Still working on getting the hang of light, shading, energy, and movement with these.  I try to push the bellies more towards "obviously, she swallowed someone" rather than just 'round'.  Hope folks enjoy.

My day job has been eating more of my time.  I plan to switch to a monthly donation mode so that everyone will be sure how much pledging to me will cost.  This will give me more flexibility to make comics, still art, and experiment with animation methods.  Rest assured, it will be material you will enjoy.

I will set the donations to 'monthly' on July 14.  Pledges will be charged at the end of the month.

News and Changes 6/27/15

Hello everyone. I wanted to let you know that there will be NO CHARGE at the end of June/start of July donation cycle. I should have one of the reward sketches up by Wednesday. Due to my day job, I haven't had time for a full fledged flash this month. I may change to a monthly donation cycle, instead of the current 'per pinup' model. This would give me more flexibility for working on still images and comics. Feel free to leave feedback or comments, and thanks for your ongoing support.

Back to Basics

Nothing too fancy this time around.  As usual, .swf and webms are included.  Thank you for the support, and hope you all enjoy this.

Grapes (reward)

This character and pose were chosen by one of the "sketch lottery" winners. I'm working another one as of this writing. Winners are chosen from the patron list using Random.org.

title for old post 1

Whew! Day job took a bigger chunk out of my time than I was expecting. I'm glad I was able to get this months animation in under the wire. I am currently working on a couple of reward sketches. Please bear with my, I hope to have them up soon.

April Pin-up

I'm pleased with how the layering on this one worked out. It's something I hope I can explore more in later works. I have included the .swf file and a .webm version. I'm considering starting a youtube channel (unlisted) if these file formats don't work for enough people.

Beach Ball

It's a little early in the year for a beach theme, but after I got the pose down, beach seemed the way to go. As per usual, here on patreon I'm uploading the .swf file as well as a .webm file. Use them wisely, and thank you again for your ongoing support.

Cupid Who?

Titles are not something I'm good at. I decided a Valentine theme would be appropriate for February, even if I was unable to finish it by the 14th. Please excuse the lateness, and I hope you all enjoy it. Thank you again! As usual, I'm including both the .swf and a .webm copy here for my patrons.

Walk sketch [ V ]

This is some lighting and "speed paint" practice. I seem to have developed a habit of including a secondary 'head bulge' in the bellies I draw. It helps set them apart from pregnancy and stuffing, but I might need to try for more variety.

Ms. January 2015

I'm afraid I couldn't think of a better title for this one. Once again, I have included both the .swf file and the .webm as part of the creation package. If neither of these options work for you, I will also be putting it up on Eka's and DA. Again, thank you all for your ongoing support. -Art $avage

Shanna (reward)

This is user's character, done as a reward for December 2014. Selection from the Patron list is done using random.org.

title for old post 2

Sorry for being off the radar, I've had to fill in for a couple of coworkers due to illness. User Larry has been selected for the December reward sketch. Thank you all for your support.

Santa's Not So Little Helper

For Patreon, I am uploading both the .swf file along with a .webm file. If things work out, users should be able to open these files using google chrome. (or the user's web browser of choice) If you are unable to view the animation, I will be uploading it to deviantart and Eka's portal ( http://aryion.com/ ) I hope to have more time in January after the holidays. Thank you all for your support!

Xinsuru's Vice

This is user Xinsuru's character. This quick sketch is the reward for November, 2014. Selection from the Patron list is done using random.org.

Too Stretchy? [ V ]

I've often found that a sense of 'closeness' is important in making these images work. I see a lot of art where the stomach just doesn't feel like it's really connected to the rest of the character. This sketch is my attempt at exploring that theme, and a very very weak attempt at humor.

double .swf

For anyone interested, here is the .swf file for the animation. Please enjoy.

Double .webm

Seems there was a bit of a hiccup when I tried for the "paid" announcement and file upload. Suffice to say, I'm going to try uploading the .webm for my patrons.

Double Bubble wallpaper

As I listed, here are some of the animation frames at 1080p resolution.

Double Bubble

Here she is! My first patron sponsored animation pin-up. Thank you everyone! For everyone who contributed: I've included the .swf file (save the file, right-click, and select 'open with [web browser]) along with a .webm file. I hope these will provide convenient viewing options. More sketches to come, I'll need to figure out what to do for December. Right now patreon does not appear to display .swf files, so I will be uploading this to Eka's and deviantart.
