OVER THE HORIZON: Sora A series of sketch studies of the character "Sora" from "Goddess of Victory: NIKKE." An instant favorite of yours-truly, each bust study is numbered, as Sora herself shows #1, an initial head shot and cool gaze. There's #1A -- an eye shape study, and a more robust... #2 bust. And that's leading to a cheeky smile and the shape of Sora's actual bust (#3!) Numbers 4, 5 & 6 are more expression studies of coy, suspicious and teasing looks. A small costume study is #7 with as simple and thorough a look at her airline stewardess outfit. #8 is a true-to-form look at Sora; her teasing laugh, busty shape, crisp outfit lines and thin, airy hairdo. #9 is a quick change-up with Sora's bunned twin tails and sexy glance from her recent new outfit. In all, she's an extremely fun character to draw even from these small studies!

04/08/2026 MERCEDES + SPRING FLIGHT OC by @duckdraw.bsky.social Art by @crybringer.bsky.social The sassy & sexy fennec girl Mercedes beckons the viewer. She's tan and tawny-haired with loads of waves to her pigtails, and made of bodacious curves. So much bust, she's holding a bottled water in her cleavage! Her hip-hugger shorts, hair scrunchies and sport jacket are bright pink, and styled with strawberry decorations, while her tanktop struggles to stay on. This outfit is reference to the gacha game "NIKKE", and it's "Spring Flight" costume on the current banner.

Mercy, physically fit and wanting to see more from (of) you too.
(A fun outfit crossover for @duckdraw.bsky.social)

Farhat looks SO GOOD in your style! The body paint and curvy lines suit her just right! Thank you for this!

Assorted sketches and color studies of Cinderella, a character from "Goddess of Victory: NIKKE." A futuristic, shiny and barely-there bodysuit dressed over a busty and shapely cyber girl with white hair, she poses some challenges -- long twintails with pointed clips, a complex cut to her suit, and that's before getting to her signature weaponry... She has a blue eye in the top-left color study, but more commonly is shown with red eyes in-game (top-right.)

Thanks! Once I learn the cryptography of 3D modelling, ooooh man...

My headcanon of a future variant, but yeah!

CORLISS SYSTEM OF MOTHER PLANETS ~ UNIFIED DEFENSE FORCES RD-717A "FIREBIRD" A rough sketch series of an advanced spaceship, "Firebird" at several angles; colorized high angle profile (top left), port-side climb, full forward view and profile, and starboard-side cruise. Insert is a line tracing highlighting the gunship's weapons. "WEAPON ARRAY: [POD] (green) Thorn Laser - Gamma Ray - Pulse Firebolt [BAY] (violet) Rapid Cannon - Compact Stinger - Hazard Breaker - Cluster Flare - Photon Bomb [SIDE] (blue) Round Vulcan - Railgun Spike - Vorpal Ribbon"

RD-717 MkA "FIREBIRD" [Revised D-717 Axelay] An original concept of a spaceship, based on the 1992 SNES video game "Axelay." This concept trades the bulky pods-and-rockets design of the original japanese cover art, or the bulky armor of the USA cover for a sleek, aerodynamic style. The ship is accented in bright red over it's gray panels and black underside. It still has the tall tailfin and forward-swept wings, but shows off a taller pilot canopy, and the nacelles on either side have wings trailing from the back. Bristling with guns, the ship is built for battle!

ARMS INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE, GOOD LUCK.

Einhander did make USA release, but I'm fairly sure the import wasn't any different. Either way, that's 2 of the 6 peak PS1 shmups! Cheers to when you can get them & play!

Just to be clear: you still have to report ALL of the income and pay the taxes on it. You can put the fees in the deductions column, but do not subtract it from the gross before entering it on the tax forms, else you'd be committing fraud. The forms (federal) will deduct those expenses for you!

CORRECTION: you want to START with the numbers on your 1099, and then subtract each month's 'your total earnings' from them. that difference is your deductible business expense.
if your 1099 reports 100 for january, and your earnings are 90, you deduct the 10.

screenshot of patreon's payouts page

reminder when you're doing your taxes, the number patreon is putting on your 1099 is the gross and they DO NOT exclude all the money they took from you in fees. you need to deduct that yourself as business expenses. an easy ("easy") way to do that is to download your earnings by month

An assortment of "EVEN MORE MIYABI" sketches! Various orange tinted pics of her in action, climbing walls, preparing for battle, and catching her special boomerang shuriken (top left) -- alongside more casual exercising, having fun in a bikini, looking cute or hacking mainframes in pink tinted sketches. Meanwhile the generous Mizuki (violet) shows surprise and ease at Miyabi's antics, while Matsuri (blue) isn't as impressed.

#OC #sketch three-peat! Nearly a dozen views of Miyabi -- with Mizuki and Matsuri alongside!

MIZUKI A 2024 refined monochromatic sketch of Mizuki, posing with her sword. Her sword & scabbard is detailed, along with her vambrace and obi belt, while the rest of her kimono reins in her generous bust. Mizuki glances aside with a slight blush, with a lily flower tying off her long, flowing ponytail. Drawn in lilac purple, with an orange and teal background gradient, this picture is a signature favorite!

MATSURI A 2024 refined sketch of Matsuri, in a modified and showy miko-styled outfit; a flowy white robe and shortened red skirt. She carries a taiko drum on her right shoulder, while brandishing her drumsticks in her left hand. Hitting an exaggerated lean, Matsuri smiles while baring her chest -- heart shaped fur pattern and all -- and displays her healthy & strong legs. Matsuri also wears a hachimaki headband (with similarly styled anklets) to tie off her frizzy hair. A complimentary pic to Mizuki, as the two are never too far apart.

A double dose of throwback #OC #sketches of moon bunnies?
It's a good way to kick off the spring season!

01/22/26 Sketches of an elegant bunny-girl miko, Mizuki. A few action poses are fully colorized, as Mizuki runs, jumps and crouches low, ready to strike with her sword. A few other line arts show her more serious looks -- but on the left side is cheeky fun, as her best friend Matsuri interrupts: [Mizuki (pink) balks at a tasteful semi-nude photo (purple) of her, posted online by Matsuri (blue)] 1) MATSURI: "Ooh hey, my post took off!" MIZUKI: "WwW w-whe-Where'd all these f-followers c-c-come from?!" CAPTION: "012297 @DrumBunDrum: Don't -mist- this!" [Matsuri (gray) cheerily waves a sign in an open jacket and tiny gym shorts] SIGN: "I <3 Mizuki! And now u do too! (So stay at the hot springs <3)"

More #OC sketches, this time with the swords-bunny Mizuki!

[NEON] -Counters Squad- Special Reconstitution (SR) Type Nikke Rollout #00151224 - Anti-Rapture Type HSTA Burst Lvl. 1 - HT: 155cm, WT: 150kg - Weapons Permit SG-ELY-04L Assorted sketches and doodles of the sweet but battle-ready, firepower-obsessed Neon. A cybernetic soldier in a modified sailor outfit -- she looks every bit a cute girl in glasses. But she wields a quad-barrel shotgun "Annihilation" and is shown to be fearless in battle. And not too shy with her affections or comfort with her precious Commander, either.

Neon, reporting for duty! Let's show them the extent of our firepower, Commander!

List is still open! A few more will cross the goal line -- grab a sketch, tell a friend they can score a portrait! Put a new coat of paint on a fave OC with a *ref sheet!* Ask anything, today!

Various intimate sketches of Freya & her best-friend-with-benefits, Raisin. Freya, the cool foxgirl frenches with her curvy mouse GF (top left.) They exchange sweet & silly nothings (top right) -- way more fun than the "lameass dressup party" they were tie-and-suit-jacketed for (bottom right.) But what's a good relationship without the friction of horror movies that Frey loves and Ray can't stand? (bottom left.) Generous implied nudity, wavy hairstyles, and cute dialogue in between, this was a fun stream cooldown. Happy 2nd B-Day, Freya!

A much older doodle of Freya & Raisin together, showing off their charms. A topless Freya (above) fondles her GF Raisin (below), as she flashes the viewer with a cheesy grin. FREYA x RAISIN* Raisin: "Get a fox BFF w/ bennies!" Freya: "I know *I* love a chubby mouse GF." (*"Which has to happen on screen at some point -Ed.")

It's Friday the 13th again! That means more Freya (and her BFF Raisin) for me, and you! #OC #sketch
