2020 Art and Sketches
Assorted art and sketches from 2020, this covers all work completed between May to August of 2020
2020/05/13 Spent some time to finally design an aesthetically indulgent robot of sorts. (though he may be more of a full-body cyborg, still weighing on that) Probably that of the bio-mechanical variety.
2020/05/14 Rough ref of a new character, R'Vindr. I don't have much written, I'm still trying to figure him out. And yes, his mention of 'options' refers to the fact that he has multiple genital options for his partners to pick from.
2020/05/16 R: So.. are you gonna take it off?
K: No.
R: I don't mean here, my place is-
K: For a guy that's got his biological registry scrubbed, I'd think you'd be more considerate to those that also prefer to obscure their identity.
R: haha yeah, gue- wait. How did you know that?
(she has connections >_>)
2020/05/16 Ketna in a hoodie because I thought it'd be a good look. And a zorn because he's just fun to draw.
2020/05/18 Borrowing ViceKillX's character Xerxes getting rough with Ketna. :] a good time was had by all.
Don't ask me how it happened/what lead up to it, I have no idea.
2020/05/20 A followup piece to the previous.
An exchange I've had stuck in my head since working on the previous image. Ketna may take dick but that doesn't mean she takes being degredated.
2020/05/24 Finally got around to drawing porn of R'Vindr and Ketna
2020/06/06 Seeing others drawing cowboy bots has influenced me to drag out an old Cowboy bot design of my own.
2020/06/07 So yep. Here's Klick, a rough quickref. I don't have much on him other than he's a hired gun, a mercenary. (Normally wears a cowboy hat but I didn't bother to add one in this quick ref.)
2020/06/10 Transcription for my bad handwriting:
R: When I suggested wearing a skirt I wasn't expecting you to actually do it, much less wear something this obscene.
K: What do you mean? Obscene?
R: This, This is obscene.
K: Oh, so you're a thigh, guy.
R: You could say that but also... It's really easy for me to slip my fingers under this, or were you hoping that would happen?
(he made an off-hand joke on their last date about how it'd be easier for them to have sex spontaneously if she wore a skirt or a dress, apparently she felt the same.)
A date Ketna and R'Vinder went on. Is there more? Who knows.
2020/06/11 I keep borrowing gildedashes 's character Xerxes for more shenanigans with Ketna.
Ketna prefers practical routes to dismantling crime syndicates.
2020/06/12 Ketna and gildedashes' Xerxes, again.
That boy Bites.
2020/06/12 A humorous sketch response to something Vice drew.
2020/06/15 Not only does he bite, he fights. Just a 'friendly' tussle between Ketna and gildedashes' Xerxes. Sometimes things just get aggressive.
I couldn't settle on a caption of what he's saying, it was a tossup between.
"Lucky for you, I'm letting you off easy"
"Same time next week?"
So, fill in the blank!
2020/06/24 very rough sketch of potential interactions after the events of A Business Transaction.
2020/06/26 So uh. New profile pic. This is me.
(some vague smashing together of the doom helmets and samus' helmet in overall shape and feel and color cues)
2020/06/26 A pinup of sorts of Ketna that I spent way too much time on in drawpile, then threw color on in Clip while listening to Egzod - Machine on repeat
2020/06/27 "Do well, and I may reward you."
First request from the smut meme, Udaesnmocris: 20 (Dominant). POV type requested soo.. here it is.
2020/06/30 Some more messing around with Ketna's attire, design for the rare half-helmet she has I've just never really drawn her in it much.
2020/06/30 Something wholesome featuring a couple of good blind boys. My Vazaroust and Shadderstag's Samson.
2020/07/10 R'Vindr being vulgar, as usual. Also I like the way I colored this and I might do this more often rather than over-thinking it.
2020/07/28 That's it. That's the relationship. (the purple guy belongs to ViceKillX)
2020/07/29 Some rough sketches with Vazaroust and Ketna
2020/07/30 Been a while since I had drawn something Vazaroust and Ketna, just something simple. Experimenting again with the style I did before.
2020/08/03 No, Kren, don't pet that, you don't know where that's been.
2020/08/03 sketching Shadderstag's character Stain also a very rough size comparison between Stain and Zorn for Reasons.
2020/08/05 Nightfox: You know, it's not any fun if you admit defeat before I even start
It's not about the quantity, it's about the quality
Nightfox/Mason belongs to Shadderstag
2020/08/05 Ketna and Nightfox are a terrible combination. She's probably baited him into more risky choices than he would have encountered on his own.
And yes that's a tiny Xerxes down there.
Nightfox/Mason goes to Shadderstag, Xerxes goes to gildedashes
2020/08/15 Currently working on making a bunch of outfit layouts for Ketna and this is the first wave. I've done a few attempts of the red dress but this version I think is what will stay for sure. There is also a lot to say behind the design philosophy and the decisions made in the outfits I designed.
The intent behind these pieces were that they were supposed to be attire to wear to what is essentially a fetish ball of sorts, or upscale sex club. I wanted her to wear things that at first glance could look very much pass for formal attire if a bit risqué, but would be easy to wear in a number of sexual settings. I didn't want to dress her in something that screamed 'submissive', like latex, harnesses, bondage gear or anything overtly/typically sexual, I wanted something striking and elegant. The fact that they could pass for mostly normal clothes also hails back to her underlying deceptive nature, both literally in her secret identity lifestyle, and her not being read as a 'sub' at first glance.
The next thing is that I wanted them to be easily accessible for others to get in/under without fully undressing. This means a lot of gathered and pleated fabrics and material that is stretchy thus making it easy to move out of the way. Hoods are easy to pull back if needed, and instead of the her usual full helmets she wears a balaclava (I forgot to add the detail on the silver one) to keep her hair hidden and will occasionally wear a decorative mask over-top. (which have built-in blindfolding if wanted).
To me, I think the ability to re-dress easily is an element of control in a submissive setting. There is symbolic vulnerability that comes with being fully nude, avoiding that state avoids that specific kind of power exchange. The state of being 'accessible' while never having to fully remove the clothing makes it easier fix one's self back up after sex without much time or assistance. (or retrieving your clothes from someone else) It's still retaining a measure of control even while being in a submissive situation. Similarly, she only wears comfortable flat shoes that are something akin to Jazz Shoes. They're comfortable, flexible and light meaning they won't interfere in any sort of play, but they give her full range of motion and traction. Where heels are often use as a means of control and restriction, wearing her gymnast shoes is another symbolic means of keeping control while still in a submissive setting.
I want to do more of this type of sex play formal attire, but finding elements that fit what I've described is pretty difficult.
2020/08/15 Another lineup of outfits. Specifically all the ones I've drawn her wearing with R'Vindr, mixed clubbing/casual attire. Date-wear? Same helmet for all of them.
2020/08/16 It's that one outfit I have on her ref that I don't seem to ever draw her in. Unlike my usual spreads, this focuses on a singular outfit, the body suit as is, the gear on top, and an alternate color example.
This is a sort of combination work/civilian outfit. It's what she wears when she wants to do recon work, but not out-right wear her usual armor and more or less appear like any other civilian. Light but durable body suit, re-enforced shin and forearm guards, and storage for just enough gear for recon and preliminary work. Granted, in some territories the helm alone can be suspicious and she does have contingencies for that, but she'll more or less keep to as much of the same gear as possible.
While the red/orange is the default-ish, she has the same arrangement in different colors to match the overall ambiance or colors of the environment she's in, so that she doesn't stand out too noticeably. As a side note, this helm is one I've referred to in my head as her 'owl mask' and it's among my faves.
2020/08/16 Here have some porn sketches. Couple with Vazaroust and Ketna since it's been a while. Also of R'Vindr making use of the outfit I finalized a yesterday. (since that's what that was for anyway) Just color-blocking for visibility's sake, but may or may not polish up any one of these sketches for real later
2020/08/17 I think Vice's Xerxes is just fun to draw..
2020/08/17 When you're half-way through your fight and he gives you this look.
2020/08/18 Ketna launched him through the wall. He wasn't expecting it but he's not exactly mad about it. (there should be debris covering, I know, him but honestly I got lazy)
Character, Xerxes, belongs to ViceKillX
2020/08/19 I'm gonna... Bully him.
2020/08/19 Look, if you really want her to beat you up, ask her to spar with you. She doesn't exactly like the idea of wailing on someone who isn't even going to defend themselves. At least Try.
(had some friends joke about getting beaten up by Ketna, so this happened)
2020/08/19 Tube thought it would be funny to see Ketna cradle carry Xerxes, and so did I
2020/08/19 DESCRIPTION
2020/08/19 Kenta getting the leg up on Xerxes (ha ha) now to see if he'll cooperate.
Turns out she may have made a slight miscalculation. She's certainly not complaining.
2020/08/20 Good boys that give head get pegged
2020/08/20 Answering the question absolutely no one asked: How did Ketna get the gag on Xerxes in the first place? By dropping from the ceiling onto his shoulders and wrangling him.
2020/08/21 Helmets are great for both concealing your identity and hiding just how flustered you get at the mere reminder of being eaten out. Ketna might be able to wear the persona of a Dom, but she is very Clearly, a Sub.
2020/08/23 Don't ask me about the logistics of this, I have no explanation for this setup, it was just a very specific scene I had in my head I wanted to draw out.
2020/08/25 "You're making a lot of sounds but I can't tell what you're saying"
Sorry, but once you get her to a certain point, she's really not going to be capable of speech.
(ty AThingies for introducing my Ketna to your Rachne :D )
2020/08/27 I just really wanted to draw some fingering. I get fixated on this multiple times a month, no doubt about it. Just sketches without reference.
Also vulva practice because I don't think I've actually drawn one in explicit detail before.
2020/08/27 Cube was fascinated with R'Vindr's jacket so he let her try it on.. then got her some new clothes for. Only to muss them up a little, later.
(Cute little bot Cube belongs to Tube. )
