Keffo's Sketchbook #21

Putting this month's sketchbook up a couple days early (since the canvas was already full and I didn't plan to do any more drawing on the weekend)! Lucky you, you get to see some stuff I'm REALLY proud of a little sooner than usual :)

I've started having a lot of fun sketching with a textured pencil brush that long-time followers may recognize from my old sketch streams a few years back, when i used to use it for all my shading. It's kinda not great for doing actual cleaned-up lines efficiently, but it seems to be really helpful for tricking my brain into keeping things loose while I get ideas down. Been messing with thinner lines and hatching a bit too, which is always fun for me. Overall I think this is a really solid batch of work and I hope you enjoy it!

Keffo's Patron Poll #48

Help me decide who/what to draw for July 2024! The winner will be the subject of a coloured piece towards the end of the month, as soon as I have time between other projects. You have roughly one week to vote - may the best idea win!

 As a side note: please don't feel obligated to vote for the option you think is most likely to win! Pick whichever option YOU would personally like to see. If nothing else, it's really helpful to see what options people are interested in, regardless of which ones actually win, so I know what sorts of prompts are worth including in the future!

Also, reminder that all $5+ Patrons also get role access to an extra channel in my Discord server, where I collect additional suggestions for characters and themes to include in future polls!

PSD/CLIP Files - Surprisingly Simple

Here are the project files for the June 2024 poll sequence, featuring Marcie turning herself into a little shortstack animal villager (and beyond)!

Apologies in advance for how messy the layers might be for part 4; I did that one separately from the rest of the set so i didn't have as much of an organized approach to it (but you should still look at it anyways, because i'm really proud of the effects i did to mimic New Leaf's compressed textures and kinda crunchy lighting). Besides that part, most of this isn't TOO weird on a technical level, just some glowy bits and hand-drawn pixelly effects here and there. It's a nice set though and I'm happy with it! I don't want to draw a detailed 3DS or a laptop in perspective again anytime soon, though.

As usual, if you have any questions about my process, feel free to ask via DMs or just in the Discord!

(Note that I use Clip Studio Paint for all of my work. The PSDs will still show you most things just fine, but the CLIP files will be the most accurate for seeing my layer organization, effects, and overall process as long as you have the software to open them!)

Surprisingly Simple

Marcie, a fairly experienced programmer, had no reason to think a task as famously easy as hacking a 3DS would give her any issues. Maybe she used a bad tutorial, or just didn't pay close enough attention, but SOMEHOW she managed to fuck it up about the worst anyone's ever done it. Her friends will definitely enjoy hearing her explain THIS situation later...

(the alt version of part 4 is just a flat colour version, since the lighting kinda hides the "texture compression" effect i did with her fur patterns)

Keffo's Sketchbook #20

Wow, 20 of these already? Wild. Time flies. Unfortunately very little else will be flying here since this set is full of heavy, sticky, and firmly squashed shapes. I ended up doing a couple of mini sequences this month because I had specific ideas that couldn't be conveyed properly in a single drawing (but didn't feel interesting enough to put on a poll, and also I just wanted to draw them instead of leaving it to chance). Dunno if I'll really make a habit of that in the future, cuz I don't wanna blur the line TOO much between my sketchbook art and full pieces. It's already dangerously fuzzy a lot of the time, haha... Anyways, really proud of everything here! Hope you enjoy it!

PSD/CLIP Files - A Big Part Of Me

Here are the project files for my May 2024 poll piece, featuring two little post-bodypart-TF scenes with Vi and Lanie!

My goal with this one was originally to do a much simpler prompt - it WAS just going to be 2 drawings, but then I had really good ideas for followups for both and I felt like it would be silly not to include them. It still ended up being a less labor-intensive project than the last few I did, but my slightly excessive perfectionism with the colouring and details (and a sudden maintenance issue in my apartment that kinda derailed things for a day) ensured that I was nonetheless scrambling to finish this by the deadline. So if the layers are kind of hard to parse, I do apologize, I was in a bit of a hurry towards the end haha. That said, I'm still really proud of my work on this set! I think this turned out really cute, and I'm especially proud of how stuff like the condoms in the second pic turned out!

A Big Part Of Me

Having found a way to temporarily transform into each other's sentient body parts, Lanie and Vi wasted no time coming up with the most impulsive and gay things to do with this power. Given their history with weird magic stuff, it would be silly to expect anything else, honestly.

Keffo's Sketchbook #19

It's sketchbook time again, and thus I reappear with another sketchbook full of personal art from the past month! I managed to come back to a couple of the ideas I'd wanted to draw last month here, as well as a handful of fresh ones. The princess drawings got me into a brief fixation with lips, so I drew a lot of those, and there's also a pretty high volume of dicks here (I mean, I ALWAYS draw a lot of them but I just noticed almost every drawing on this canvas includes one this time lol). Been really happy with my sketchbook work lately, so I hope you enjoy it too!

PSD/CLIP Files - Shower Squeezed

Here's the project file for my April 2024 artwork, featuring Bisou inflating her lower body with water in the shower!

I have no idea why the file size is so big. I GUESS there are a lot of layers since each alt has its own copy of the various water/steam/glass/etc effects? Anyways, this one was thankfully not as time-intensive as my last few ridiculously ambitious projects, but it WAS still tricky since this is literally only my second time ever trying to render stuff pressed up against glass (and the previous time did not also have to consider steam and condensation on the surrounding glass, so that was an interesting new element to grapple with). I came up with the prompt with this in mind tho, and while I feel like I maybe could have done it slightly better, it was a challenge I feel like I learned a lot from! Hopefully it's also interesting to poke through and examine on your end!

Shower Squeezed

Bisou's still getting used to the quirks of her new body, which spells trouble for a dragon with next to zero impulse control. Having learned that the orifice in her tail bulb connects straight to her belly, she wasted no time thinking of something really stupid to try with it...

(before anyone asks: the shower does have a sliding door. i just decided not to bother drawing its mechanisms or handle because it would interfere visually with the stuff that actually matters. rest assured she WILL be able to get out of there, hopefully before Soleil comes home to find a big embarrassed pink rectangle in their shared bathroom)

Keffo's Sketchbook #18

Got a hearty batch of drawings for y'all this month! Been having lots of good ideas lately and not nearly enough time or energy to draw them all - for most of the past month, this canvas had a handwritten list in the margin of stuff I wanted to draw, and I only got through about half of it. I almost didn't even remember to draw something Easter-themed, but since I don't publish these til the middle of the month, you have no way of knowing how close to Easter that Ellie drawing actually happened lol.

A couple quick side notes:

• The mousegirl with the big butthole is from Donut Dilemma, a fic by Trisket involving my imp OC Tweliza, since I felt the main character could use a visual representation! It's a very fun and indulgent little story and you should go read it.

• Amanda (the platypus with hyper boobs) belongs to Ashley! Thanks for letting me borrow her for a warmup!

• The pic of Olivia eating the tiny Petri clones is a dubiously canonical follow-up to my last poll comic, in case you haven't seen it. In my mind the clones run on a sort of simplistic hivemind being broadcast wirelessly from the machine that created them, and as soon as it's disconnected they just melt back into the bio-goo they were 3D-printed from. So Olivia eating them isn't actually necessary at all, Petri is JUST being a weirdo about it.

PSD/CLIP Files - Population Boom

Here are my project files for the March 2024 poll artwork, featuring 28 instances of Petri in two fun-filled sizes (there are actually a few more hidden Petris in the first project file because they're covered up by the main one! I still coloured them, by hand, because I am really smart and efficient. please appreciate them.)

Sorry if this one is a real mess in regards to layers; that kind of thing tends to happen when I'm doing a comic with backgrounds and a bazillion textures and lighting elements and also WAY too many characters. I'm really happy with how it came out tho! I was really worried I would have to cut a lot of corners in order to pull this off, but it ended up not taking too much longer than most other monthly projects. I really should still try to cut back a bit on the scope/complexity of these going forward, but at least you can continue to enjoy some fun, indulgent, highly overcomplicated art from me for the time being until I get my ambitions in check. Anyways, lots of stuff to look through in these project files, so I hope that's interesting too!

Population Boom

Creating a batch of mini clones to help around the lab seemed like a flawless idea when Petri thought of it, but like most of her ideas, it could've used a bit more fine-tuning. Now the lab's overrun, everything's a mess, and... wait, why does Petri even HAVE some of this stuff??

Keffo's Sketchbook #17

We're already halfway through March (somehow??) and that means it's time to drop some more personal art! This pack is a little less large than the past few have been, but everything here is in colour, so I feel like it's a reasonable tradeoff. While this set's a bit heavy on the fanart side of things, I also continued my efforts from last month to study more references and that's been fun! Slowly but surely, I grow ever more powerful as I learn to draw fat butts in exciting new shapes and angles. Enjoy!

PSD/CLIP Files - Tongue-Twisted

Here are the project files for February's patron-voted comic, featuring Soleil getting wrapped up in Bisou's giant tongue and absorbed into it! Normal stuff, for normal people to enjoy.

Each page of this is its own project file, so there are 3 of each format. The layers and stuff might not be the most organized, since I was really running late trying to finish this set in time for the end of the month, but hopefully they still make sense?

I definitely bit off more than I could chew with this set - a whole 3-page comic is a lot even by my usual standards of overdoing it haha - but I was also just really unsure how to condense such a specific and kinda abstract concept down into something that reads clearly with any fewer drawings than this. Originally I was going to do very limited shading (just highlights and reflections, no shadows) for all of this, or at least keep the mini panels on pg1 restricted to flat colours, but it felt incomplete and I ended up doing my usual full shading (albeit a bit more rushed in some places than usual, which was the most restraint I could manage lol). I also tried using a different brush (the same pen I usually sketch with, and occasionally use in sketchbook stuff) to line this for the first little bit, hoping it would be faster, but I was very wrong and quickly switched back to my normal pencil for the rest of the lines. The most important thing to me was to do the prompt justice, and I think I succeeded? I'm REALLY proud of the motion smear effects on pg1 and the melting sequence on pg2 and learned some tricks that I think will help with more dynamic stuff in the future!

Tongue-Twisted

Over the years, plenty of folks have found out how Bisou got her name, as they've gotten intimately acquainted with her long, gooey, prehensile tongue. However, experiencing what it's like to BE said tongue is a bit of a rarer opportunity. Soleil sure is a lucky little rabbit...

Keffo's Sketchbook #16

We're back in business! I didn't have much/any time to draw gay furry porn during my hiatus, so this sketchbook ended up being done in about the same sort of timeline as usual (all of these were drawn between Jan 21 - Feb 14). 

That said, I'm really happy with what's here - it's been a nice way to get back into the swing of drawing asses and tummies and cum and stuff, just in time for my return to the commission grind.  I've been trying to study more real anatomy refs and be more deliberate about my poses, and I think it shows. It's nice to feel like I'm still learning and improving, I kinda missed that part of my job. Anyways, I hope you enjoy these!

Status Update: I'm (Almost) Back! (Jan 2024)

Hi there! Sorry for the wait. It's been a weird few months, but things should be more or less back to normal very very soon.

I'll try to keep it short and to-the-point this time: I found an apartment a little while ago and I'll be moving in tomorrow! It may be a few days before I'm all settled in and have my internet set up, but the important thing is that I'll be returning to my usual monthly Patreon output as of February 1st (technically January 30th is when the page gets unpaused and new/returning patrons can subscribe again, but most of my existing patrons joined back when payments always happened on the first day of the month, so their pledges won't actually resume until then regardless).
There'll be a new poll at the start of the month as usual, a sketchbook pack on the 15th, and the poll-winner artwork at the end of the month, and things will continue from there as they did previously.

I appreciate your patience while I've been in limbo sorting out my living situation. This has been a very awkward transition period for me, but I'm hoping that having my own space and full control over my schedule will help me be more focused and productive going forward, and I'll be able to keep making cool stuff you enjoy throughout this year.

Thanks again for all your support!
See you soon!

Status Update: Short Hiatus! (November 2023)

Hey folks! If you're currently pledged to my Patreon, then you probably got an email this month letting you know that you weren't charged for your subscription because my page has temporarily been paused. I mentioned this would be happening in a few places, including in my last couple posts on here, but I figured I should probably explain so you know where I'm at and what to expect.

The short explanation is this: I'm moving later this month and will be in limbo for a bit, so I paused my page for November, and there's a high chance I'll need to do the same for December. Whether or not I'll be able to resume business as usual for January will depend on a few factors that I can get into down below, but I'm hopeful that this hiatus shouldn't need to go on longer than that.

While my page is paused, existing patrons won't be charged, but new people also won't be able to pledge as a one-off thing and get access to my backlog (they used to be able to, but it's no longer an option because of a somewhat baffling change to the billing system that I wasn't aware of when I switched over to the newer "Subscription Billing" system. so that's annoying). If you're already in, feel free to stay in - I'll give a bit of notice before I reactivate the page, so that you can drop out before payments resume if you need to. If you aren't currently in a paid tier, you'll have to wait til I unpause payments before you can join one.

There obviously won't be any new art posted here while the page is paused, though I WILL be trying to add things to a sketchbook over time, and that sketchbook pack will be the one that goes up the first month I'm back in business. Anything else I happen to do during that time will probably just be posted publicly.

Here's my situation in a bit more detail: I'm moving across the country in late November. However, I don't have a place lined up out there already, so I'm going to be staying with my parents for a short time while I look for apartments in a neighboring city. My parents are very religious and don't know that I do weird gay furry penis art for a living, and I don't know how much privacy I'm going to have while I'm staying with them, so I don't want to put myself in a position where I have obligations to provide art that I can't safely fulfill while I'm there. Things might be fine and I might be able to work there without issues, but I'll need to see how things play out before I can commit myself to anything. Regardless, my computer and stuff are being shipped separately and they won't arrive until sometime in early December, so I won't be able to do much until then either way, making it unlikely that I will reactivate my page any sooner than January. Most likely I'll just try and focus on securing a place to move into for January so that I can settle back into my usual routine as soon as possible, and take a much-needed art break in the meantime.

A handful of people have asked me if there's a way they can still throw money at me through some kind of tip jar while I'm not making income from Patreon or comms. On my Commiss.io profile (where I usually take my commission project submissions) there's a red button under my avatar labeled "♥ Leave a Tip", and payments there are handled via Stripe (since I try to avoid Paypal wherever possible), the same as all my commissions. Obviously it's not an obligation - I don't expect anyone to pay me for nothing, and I've been saving up to move for a while now so I'm not in any kind of dire financial situation - but if you want the option, it's there!

So yeah, that's what's up I guess. I'll make another post like this one (albeit probably much shorter) once I know for sure what the timeline for reopening my Patreon is going to look like. I appreciate your patience for the time being, as well as all of your support thus far! I hope to be back in action and posting new polls and sketchbooks and excessively labor-intensive transformation sequences soon!

Thanks,
Keffo

PSD/CLIP Files - Diabolical Dress-Up

Here are the project files for my October 2023 halloween set, featuring Lanie and Vi getting turned into glossy horny demonic versions of their costumes!

I will be upfront here, I'm almost certain this was easily the longest I've ever spent on a poll piece, capping out at a frankly ridiculous 35 hours of total work. I definitely underestimated how much extra work would be added by having two characters undergoing separate unique transformations AND needing to design from scratch how their costumes and post-TF forms would all look. Not to mention the probably unnecessary decision to include "latex-y" as a descriptor in the prompt, meaning I'd have to go extra hard on the rendering to make everything sleek and shiny and reflective. But hey, the important thing is that I think this set turned out REALLY cool, and I even learned a couple more new tricks while doing it! I only mention all this as an explanation, because I am absolutely EXHAUSTED and my current state is definitely at least partially to blame for the chaotic jumble of layers in these project files. I still think a lot of the rendering, effects, and comic paneling in this set turned out super well though, so it's definitely still worth digging through if you're interested!

As usual, if you have any questions about my process, feel free to ask via DMs or just in the Discord!

(Note that I use Clip Studio Paint for all of my work. The PSDs will still show you most things just fine, but the CLIP files will be the most accurate for seeing my organization and process as long as you have the software to open them!)

Diabolical Dress-Up

Lanie and Vivian had plans for a fun night out at a friend's Halloween party, and got dressed up in cute matching angel and devil costumes for the occasion! Probably should have been more wary of cursed/haunted accessories though. That's basically Sexy Halloween Comic Safety 101. Still, there's no denying they're a couple of real baddies like this...

----------

This set was voted for and funded by the contributions of my wonderful patrons. Thank you so much for your support!

There won't be a new poll for November (and possibly also December) since I've got a move upcoming and will thus be temporarily pausing pledges on my Patreon until I've gotten myself settled again. I'll make a proper post about it separately, but the short version is that you won't be charged for the months my page is paused, so feel free to stick around and I'll see you again soon!

Keffo's Sketchbook #15

Happy halfway-through-October-ween! It's sketchbook time again, and it's apparently also an "oops all coloured shaded drawings" kind of month again. Sometimes I just wanna try something and it won't work if I only do it halfway (such as the pressed-against-glass effect in the Ankha pic).
Btw, fun fact, I actually did almost all of these in like one day, because i got super sick at the end of last month AND was having computer issues more recently, so there wasn't a lot of "spare time" drawing happening in the past month. I don't think that's reflected in the quality or anything though, I'm still proud of this batch! Hope you like it too!

(as always, there are captions if you click the images)

Also I should probably mention in advance: there won't be a sketchbook posted in November, since I'm going to be moving mid-month and therefore will need to pause my Patreon. If things go according to plan, things will resume in December though!

Keffo's Patron Poll #42 🎃 SPOOKY EDITION

Help me decide who/what to draw for October 2023! The winner will be the subject of a coloured piece towards the end of the month, as soon as I have time between other projects. You have roughly one week to vote - may the best idea win!

As has become a tradition leading up to Halloween, I've once again come up with a few special prompts that are all centered around characters putting on funny costumes and turning into other things/characters! Regular prompts will resume for the next poll (most likely in December since I will probably be pausing pledges for November), but I also like these prompts a lot so I might bring some of them back later as well!

As a side note: please don't feel obligated to vote for the option you think is most likely to win! Pick whichever option YOU would personally like to see. If nothing else, it's really helpful to see what kinds of options people are interested in, regardless of which ones actually win, so I know what sorts of things are worth putting on future polls!

PSD/CLIP Files - Makeover Makeout

Here are the project files for September's patron-voted art set, featuring Birdo and Daisy engaging in a transformative full-face smooching experience!

I think this might be one of my favourite pieces I've ever done for my patreon, no joke. This prompt was very indulgent and fun and I hope it shows in the quality of my work! Legit my only regret with this set is that I really, really should have used a few more layers when colouring (particularly when it came to transitioning between Daisy's pre- and post-TF skin tones. you'll notice all of those are just part of the "colour" layer. this was a bad idea and caused me a lot of headaches later, lol). I really love the poses and shapes, I'm very happy with the stylized designs I settled on for both characters, and I think the colours and rendering turned out super nice! It was definitely a more labor-intensive set (I think the final time came out to a total of ~24 hours of drawing) but I don't mind too much when I'm this happy with the results. Hopefully it's also fun to look through and analyze for yourself!

Makeover Makeout

Daisy was looking for some expert instruction on the time-honored art of face-sucking, so of course she went to a master. Passions soon flared and she got a lot more than she bargained for, but she's certainly more equipped to handle any and all smooching-related situations now!
