$1 Tier Only, Until...

Updates will continue on all current and future art!

However, life gets in the way sometimes.  And I have anxiety about losing patrons.  Lol.

I have other things that are more...

X-Men: Fearless Leader Page 03 Update 02

On my end, it looks big and fuzzy.  I'm not sure what's going on with that.

Anyway, was working on the Cyclops panel.  Otherwise, it's two girls fighting, which will be fun, but mor...

X-Men: Fearless Leader Page 03 Update 01

This page won't be on H-F.  It's for a writer who's helped me out with a personal project - and yes, this is definitely an adult comic!

I'm working on the inks of The Captains too. &nbs...

The Captains Update 01

Here we go!  I'm recording it, so it'll be slow.  But I'll show you guys progress images along the way.

I'm also once again going out of town this weekend, but I'll be bringing my i...

Gumroad for Pinups

I thought about adding a gold tier for recorded videos, but scrapped it after I decided I just don't have the time, and I don't want the pressure of a monthly deadline.  There is a LOT going o...

Longsword Page 02 Update 09

I figured I'd knock these two easy panels out.  

What Should Ben Draw?

I'll still work slowly on Longsword Page 02 - I probably will redraw panel 2 - and I'm going out of town this weekend, and am behind on my 3D project, but 6 patrons is enough to try a poll.  :...

OC Joan and Incredible Hulk V02

Added c*m and a different lighting scheme.  I wonder if Joan's ass should be more in the sun, but I'll call this one a wrap for now!  :)

OC Joan and The Hulk: Version 01

I'm going to spend some time on the bodily fluids by referencing some artists I think do it well.  I may make some additional small changes, but I'm happy to share it now with you guys! Thanks...

Incredible Hulk and Joan Update 01

Patron OC Joan + the Incredible Hulk coming up!!

Now the only question is, is this the original gray hulk?  The traditional green?  Or is this a red-skinned version?  

TB...

Clark Kent and Mary Jane

And....done!

Clark Kent and Mary Jane Update 02

The brushes that come standard with Clip Studio blow Photoshop out of the water.  Man, it's such a good program for comic art!

Any more updates on this outside of the final image wil...

Clark Kent and Mary Jane Update 01

“Long time, no see, Lois.”

“Lois?  Who the fuck is Lois?  

”Uh…this IS the Daily Planet, isn’t it?”

”Bugle.  It’s the goddamn Daily Bugle, loser. ...

Coloring Test

Yeah yeah.  Come on, Ben.  This changing of styles, experimentation, etc is wasting time!  We want boobies!

Well, yeah.  I'll probably do a few pinups while I figure out w...

Longsword Page 02 Update 05

*This is a public post because I'd love any feedback on the coloring*

Obviously I recolored panel 2.  I'm referencing "Understanding Mood", an eBook I got on Gumroad, which is amazing! &...

Longsword Page 02 Update 01

Here is what you'll be expecting for the second page of the CYOA!  

I'm so excited about this!

Color Test

And here we go again with yet another new coloring style.

But come on.  It looks pretty sweet, doesn't it?  It looks "richer".  I don't know how to say other than that, but I s...

Harry Potter Recolor

I'm pretty happy with the colors - and the new inks..  I think the image is much better now, if I do say so myself.

Harry Potter Recolor Update 01

I decided to take two days or so to recolor/re-ink this Harry Potter image.

It was the last thing I did before I took a long break, and honestly, I've been quite unhappy with it.  600 dp...

Balrog and Chun Li - Recolored

17 months after the original, here is a newly colored version of the same image.  I do believe the colors are much cleaner, brighter, and the inks are better too.

Sometimes it's just nic...

Longsword Page 01

Man, a good letterer is worth the investment!

Longsword Page 01 Update 13

Just about finished! 

Only the letters remain.  There were some minor things I wanted to add, but I'm happy enough with it to send it to be lettered.

I'll be finishing the Bal...

Test Video 02 - Balrog and Chun Li

I recorded a 20 minute video earlier today, where I worked a bit on Balrog and Chun-Li on my iPad + Clip Studio Pro.

I've determined that 15-30 minute videos whenever I get the chance through...

Balrog & Chun Li Recolor

I’m not ready yet to get the comic page done, and don’t want to start anything new, so I decided to recolor this pinup from….a year or so ago. I think the coloring will be a lot better, and ...

Test Video

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about doing some recordings with voice-over for a new "Gold Tier" starting in August.  

This is just a test video.  I'm not sure how to compress it with...

Scott Summers and Ororo Munroe.

I mentioned I'd just do something quick yesterday to take a break from the hours and hours and hours it's taking me on the Longsword page, so here are a couple of X-Men.

Longsword - CYOA - Page 01 Sketch

And it begins...

Longsword - A Choose Your Own Adventure

I've always loved Choose Your Own Adventure stories, and I notice there are quite a lot of writers on H-F who've done them.  They tend to have patrons vote on which direction the story goes, w...

Battle Chasers 10 Page 01

Whew!  Nicely done, Ben.

Looking at Soul Saga, I think the coloring is absolutely gorgeous, and saves the book, visually.  As popular as Stephen Platt was back in the day...man oh m...

Battle Chasers 10 Page 01 - Unlettered.

Word balloons coming later today!

I'm probably not going to continue this immediately.  Perhaps I'll do a new page every time I gain 5 patrons.  So when I hit 8, I'll do the next pa...
