Phewa I'm so sorry its taken me so long to finish this one! To T
I started this pic back in September in anticipation of it being my Halloween project. I'm a big fan of Go Nagai's Devilman especially of his Devilman Lady. So It's a character I really love and very much wanted to do her justice. Then I wound up having to fight with the VA over my dental care. A fight I ultimately lost that left me bitterly defeated and very low on reserve mental energy and as a result physical energy. It led to me just seemingly having forgotten how to draw, and I had to redo numerous major parts of this work to get things looking to were I could accept them. I'm sure those peeps who frequent my streams are sick of seeing me work on this piece. There are still parts I'm not super happy with but overall it gets the job done. I'm really sorry if it felt like I've completely dropped off the map while working on this piece. It just felt like it wasn't worth sharing the WIP steps for this one as it would have been long stretches of looking nearly identical to outsiders. Given that were so close to Christmas already I plan to just work on doing some sketch work in the meanwhile. It feels like I've really lost track of exactly where I'm at with my Patrons and I need to get that tightened up. Please be sure to reach out to me to ensure you all have access to my patron rewards, and if your part of my server please be sure to remind me to give the proper role. Patreon used to be able handle giving those outs but I've been essentially permanently suspended by them. Which reminds me that I really need to update that page some and clean it up a bit. If any of my patrons are reading this I'd love if you could love over the Subscribe Page and see if you notice any glaring issues you think I should address. I'd especially like to encourage my Gold Tier Patrons to reach out to me on discord as I'd like to try and get you all a sketch at some point soon if at all possible. Thanks again for all of your support and sticking with me in these dark times. I'm really hoping to rally myself in the upcoming year and get one of these major projects finished and made available for people. I still need to get the Gold Tier contend updated for this new work, but its set up for the Copper Tier. (Does anyone ever access the gold tier Rewards??) I realized I didn't have a High Res page set up for the Fan Art yet and spent today working on that. :p Man I still wanna do a full website rebuild on Webflow but it's been a major chore trying to wrap my head around that site.

Man feels like I was never gonna get this one done!
So many of the various aspects of the pieces needed constant reworks, and every time I thought I was done I'd find like 2 or 3 other mistakes that I needed to correct. I'm really happy with how it came out tho. I especially love how the colors for Granny Wolf came out. She has a much more sinister edge about her now. Prisoners face gave me a ton of problems I'm not sure why but it just kept coming out way too masculine during the process till I zeroed in on what we see here. Might still be a tad too masculine but it works overall. XD The Aberrant Jailers gave me issues too in getting their scale to feel massive while not allowing them to eat up too much of the pages real estate. Zeroing on their colors was an issue too, took me a while to find a way to light them that didn't distract too much from everything that was going on. I've got the High Res Files and the original .PSD uploaded for patrons to check out and uploaded the file to teepublic for merch if peeps happen to be in need of some. ^_ ^ For the rest of the month I want to focus on remaking an older illustration that I feel never turned out as well as it could have that I think will be a fun piece for Halloween. Wold love to hear your feedback for the pic can't wait to get the next one done up for vampire, that one will be especially fun to create. 3 sketch prizes currently possible!
