 Progress with this has been slower than I'd like... like usual. X0
Been experimenting with a new AI art generator I recently discovered called Promptchan. Its a paid for service where the niche they chose to focus on is that its... 1- A much more simplified Stable Diffusion tool set that's easy to pick up and start using. 2- Is mostly uncensored. Save for content that's illegal in most places around the world. It's using an in house compiled model that is much better than the typical service like these I've seen pop up with much more reasonable prices. Now mind you its by a very small team of 3 devs, So updates are a bit on the slow side, but they've been very open about utilizing the feedback from customers in their discord server. It has plenty of growing pains yes, but thanks to the way they've set things up its far easier to get a decent image generated even if it ends up not being very close to the mark of what you wanted. I experimented with Automatic 1111 for a good while and wasn't ever able to ever get it to produce anything even half as good as Midjourney's worst. Here I'm able to get right decent results though I find its model while great at doing pinups, struggles a bit more with more out there concepts... such as those I've been trying to get it to do... mainly female werewolves. XD They've been making steady progress though for how small their team is, and with SD having recently released some very powerful next gen tools available to the public for free I have high hopes that they will be able to continue to advance their service and make something that can eventually rival even MJ. Even while using the equivalent of older tech AI wise they've already put together something that easily fills in the gaps that MJ has purposely ignored the needs of from their customer base. I used it in this drawing tho not quite in the way you would think. Nothing in this image so far is directly made by an AI, but I did feed in progress I made along the way to see how well it could recognize the subject material and how it could be enhanced. That lead me to being able to identify several major anatomical mistakes that I was able to work back in to the ongoing work and making it far more appealing than it would have otherwise. I'm sure it will be able to help guide my process with the shading too. I'll post an example in a bit of ways it can be used by aspiring artists outside of letting the AI do all the work.

 Inks are coming along nicely. I might change up the girl in the background again, Still not quite feeling her yet. The chest on the big shewolf is still an item of concern at the moment.
Still gotta decide if this is her sister or mom.  Not quite sure about the girls pose just yet.
Face feels off still and not sure if she shouldn't be more in that exterior hall. Will have that space be were the main light source is coming from casting long shadows. Wanted the shewolf to take up more of the space but then I'd have to crop large parts of her body off and there would be nowhere to put the girl were she would look right. Mebbe I'll zoom it all in a bit closer before inking tho not sure yet. I could scrap the scared girl aspect and have her just be all creepy about it. Oh yeah mebe shes holding a spiked collar and a chain leash. Like she's bout to take her sister out to get back at some people. That would read more interesting I think story telling wise. What do you think though?  Not sure if I'll take this to full illustration just yet, but just felt like doing another mid transformation shewolf.
Always love the first 15% and final 70% of the process most.  This piece was inspired by some AI results.
I'd thought up this simple moment of Orphan getting licked by one of the Daughters of the Fangs Brides. But it wound up helping to add a lot of connective tissue to various small moments and scenes I had in mind that will greatly help in fleshing out some powerful moments deeper into the series. I'd thought it would be fun if the girl licking Orphan winds up going Bleeck! She tastes like soap. ~ o~ Which would call back to a funny moment I wanted to do where RRH Standard gets sick of the smell of wet dog, and dunks Orphan into a pond and scrubs her down with a bar of soap leaving her comedically traumatized. With this new moment though I thought it could be really cool if the trio ends up going looking for Orphan later tracking her down by her scent. only to stumble upon Standard and Prisoner instead and freak out fleeing. Leading to the realization that the Fang hunters have been tracking the trio down via the scent of Standards Soap. Leading to them being able to turn the table on a major trap set for them taking out their pursuers. This will also be a moment that leads to one of the trio mentioning how Orphan looks just like the goddess they pray to of Queen Lupina the first of the werewolves in their world. This will lead to even more crazy revelations deeper into the story. It was such a small moment but its helped to pay off so many unique moments and set up others. I'm quite happy with it. ^o ^ The Super High Res file is available for Copper Tier Patrons with the original .PSD available to Gold Tier Members.

This piece features a creature I wound up sketching up in a random sketch session. I was intrigued enough about the potential for it that I had to draw it up. It slides along the forest floor seeking sentient prey. Where upon capture swallows them via the fang filled maw at the top of its head. Where upon the person slowly slides down and becomes incorporated into the Mycanoid network deep beneath the bleeding petrified forest.

(For learning purposes only plz)  Been a long while since I'd drawn one of my own dragons. Or any dragons for that matter.
This beauty is Tephris the dragon Matriarch. Youngest of the ancient Dragon who roam about the world of the Macabre. She is the patron to the Paladin Order and has helped to guide their order and keep it free of the corrupting influences of the Necromancers. She is one of several Kaiju sized beasties that roam my stories world. Despite her prowess she has never been capable of besting her older sister Kul'Nar in battle, especially not since her sister fell in battle with the Necromancers and corrupted into a Dracolich. I apologize that it took so long to complete this and that updates have been so slow of late. I've had so little energy and drive recently and just can't seem to get my sleep schedule to return to a happy cycle. I keep finding myself completely drained of energy right when its time for my usual live stream. Yo Y Hopefully I can get that sorted out soon. I'm not sure what my next project will be just yet, but I have been in great need of flexing my creative writing muscles again. So I can get back into a writing mode to finish my novella. Kills me that I still don't have a solid work to point people to to be able to say start here. Thank you all again for your continued support, it means a ton to me, more than I know how to properly express. Remember you can always find me on the discord if you ever wanna learn more about the ideas I've been ever so slowly building onto in my head. ;D  Sorry for my updates being so infrequent of late, I've been suffering from an intense lack of energy these past weeks making it very difficult to wake up and get various tasks complete.

Tried a different approach to the grass with this one that helped to save a lot of time tho I'm not so sure its quite as appealing to look at. I really need to start making time to start putting these stories down for people to read. Check out Patron Tiers for the variants!
Phewa this took so much longer than I wanted it to. TTo TT
I originally was aiming to draw over one of my AI outputs, but the more I tried to refine and correct the anatomy the more off it made other sections till the whole thing just looked really static and bland. So I swapped gears and focused on just using it as inspiration. I don't have a lot of story with this one, their not any major characters in particular, just examples of the size difference the Ladies of "The Fang" can undergo during their transformation into wolf form. I've gotten so slow of late I wanna try and focus on doing some studies to see if I can't develop a better means of speeding up my work process. Especially since the AI tech just isn't were I need it to be to get any great use out of it in my workflow yet. Interestingly enough this image does work as an input on Midjourney, even the nude variant. (currently available to Silver Tier patrons and above!) Though strangely it really mangles my style. They come out looking like I drew them using only half my brain with no regard to the impossible pursuit of perfection. Tho it sometimes helps to get a figure to reach the proportions it otherwise often refuses to provide. :\ On other fronts just went through another major dental surgery. So wont be streaming for a couple nights. This one was pretty bad. They did a piss poor job with the anesthetic, which starting off felt like them driving hot needles into my skull, then later failing to provide the necessary effect as I was feeling so much pain I had to request an additional shot, which again hurt like a hot needle through my skull, and still barely dulled the pain I was undergoing. =o = A lesser person would have needed a Xanax. looks like the next appointment, in some 3 months will be to finally start the dam dentures process. I want implants so bad, no clue tho if i'll be able to qualify for them, which will again add nearly a year of surgeries. le sigh. I just can't win.
