What forbidden delights does this box hold?

Had a lucky mistake with one of the blend layers that I really liked for the goo leaking out of the box and decided to keep it.

Though its not a precise representation I wonder if anyone recognizes the lock/symbol in the center.

Just 1 more to go and i should finally be far enough along that that I can shift attention away from the overhaul for a while.

I'm kind of feeling like I really should make a 9nth box just to make a 3 sets of 3, and in case i end up needing another.

Would really help to quiet my OCD too. XD

Ended up redesigning this box some.

Originally it was going to be strange artifacts for the arcana section.

It's still a strange artifact but its more interesting now.

I've always been fascinated by these Japanese styled jointed dolls/marionettes.

I'd actually like to own a life size figure of this style some day.

I'll have to either make it myself or hire someone else to do it.

Story wise I do plan to have some of these as enemy creatures eventually.

They start off as the prototypes of what eventually become the panzers.

Only at this stage they have no use of their limbs but full consciousness still.

I've imagine entire video game boss fights using these before. were a massive mechanical spider puppeteers them into lashing out at intruders. I'd like to do another full illustration featuring them down the road.

Is she just being taken out of the box and assembled? Or is she about to be packed up and put into storage?

Man this one took me a while to finish up.

The perspective kept resisting me from beginning to end.

I still don't think that I fully nailed it, but I got it to a point were you should hopefully not notice too much. :\

They are really starting to look cool together tho. :D

So... Is this arm a natural part of this things anatomy or is there a lot more space in there than there seems?

This one was pretty fun to draw.

well the perspective wasn't XD

Though this one wasn't as aggravating as the Treasure box is currently being to me.

each one of these things perspective has major/mino flaws about them.  ;0

Try not to look too closely at them. XD

4 more to go and I'll be able to move onto something else.

Wish I could just jump back into the shewolf, or novella, but I'll have to work in 2 more commercial illustrations first. T oT

Tell me what you think so far tho. Still need to redesign the crate box and think up 1 more design in the meanwhile.

Did you pick up your toys??

This one turned out a bit more sinister than I had originally intended it to. XD

Each of these toys, or at least the animal ones. represent some sort of deadly monster that inhabits the world of Crimson Dames that could swallow you whole. Yes even that one. XD

I really should get someone to make these someday as plushies.

Could have my own Studio-Aegis line of plush monsters. ^  o^

Website wise today I succeeded in getting the MISC and Comic Works galleries up to speed. be sure to check them out. :D

And please do your best to help me spread the word about my works I desperately need new supporters to help make ends meet out here. :\

If I can get like a thousand $2 patrons I'll be able to get a new vehicle and apartment much more more easily. ^ _^

WHY WOULD YOU HAVE THAT??

Hehe vessel 2 of 8, yeah turns out I'll need 8 not 7.

This one was pretty simple so was able to finish it relatively fast.

I'm in the middle of inking the Toy Box at the moment.

Ran into technical troubles and wasn't able to get the stream going yesterday.

I'm somewhat annoyed in that I'll need to take on another job for 2 illustrations pretty soon here.

I really want to just focus on these projects, but I can't afford to not take it on. T  oT

I managed to get more PDFs, and Novella pages loaded up today for patron rewards.

I also set it up so that the NSFW images would be restricted to the Wood Tier member pages.

It's not a pay wall though so just need to register by picking a password email and name then you'll be able to access them from any of the normal galleries.

I just wanted to make it a bit harder for peeps to stumble into nsfw content without realizing it.

Dont forget the Red Bordered icons designate NSFW content.

WHATS IN THE BOX!!!?

XD

Box one of se7en complete.

I also added a few more pages to the Silver Tier Section tonight. I found more works I had on hand that had variant takes on them so I decided to throw them up along with their associate High Res versions.

I'd love to hear back from peeps about what they think of the current state of the site and the quality of the reward perks.

I think that once I finish this set of Vessels for the lore section that I would like to knock out a new Crimson Dames illustration, then move back on to the shewolf comic.

before that though I'll be knocking out some sketch requests from birthday peeps.

I think i'd like to start doing contests maybe once a week with only 1 prize available, at least initially. Hopefully that way I can avoid falling behind on projects but also provide more value to the patron tiers.

you would have to sign up to the discord server to participate though. ^_~

Got the flats laid down for the first of the chests. Not completely satisfied with this color scheme just yet. Will see what I think about it with fresh eyes tomorrow.

Though the idea of a creepy head in a box is giving me story ideas now. like what if every major monarch has received this same box, and they have to like get rid of it less their reign come to an abrupt end.

Will have to let it simmer more in my brain. ^  o^

Don't forget those of you who are patrons of mine via Patreon can register the email and name your using on Patreon then I'll upgrade your membership once I confirm your patron status with my records. :D

For those of you still on the fence you can now subscribe through the patronage page linked in the footer. and receive access to the same rewards. ^  o^
