Hi all- just a very brief update from me (sorry to those who've already seen it in the Discord).
I know there are quite a few things in the pipeline- such as starting the new comms batch, some overdue rewards and the new points system. While I've been doing my best to get these done bef...

This was an exceptionally challenging piece, as it forced me to work on several things I'd never tried before- such as dark skin, combined with bright lights, high contrast, high saturation, perspective... it was basically the Rainbow Road of art.
I am so pleased with how colorful it turned...

A long overdue piece for of Ahlis and her equivalent 14th. Despite making me draw 431 tiny windows, I loved working on this illustration if only for the story it tells.
Edit: Added the lineart version because why not!
Hello my lovelies. I hope this update finds you well and safe!
I can’t say much for the way March turned itself on its head; at the start of this month I had so many plans and was determined to make some wild life changes and yet I sit here now, debating whether it's even worth changing o...

A lovely commission of a sweet-faced, sunseeker miqo'te! This one changed quite a lot from the lineart version to the end version, and from the end version to the 30 versions worth of tweaks that followed. Let it not be said I don't live up to my own meme.
Either way, I think it turned out ...

Another lineart process timelapse - this time, for the happy miqo I posted here a few days ago.
In this one you can see how I fumbled the head shape a fair bit towards the start- going for one angle ...

Here's the initial part of the coloring process for this piece! I feel really good about getting more used to working in Procreate, as it allows me to produce these timelapses with minimal effort.
That said, I still find that I'm much more comfortable doing the final tweaks and polishes in ...

For those of you now in the Discord- or who are not paying close attention- here's a little snippet of what my art looks like before it's actually polished into shiny, colorful pieces.
The first is a very interesting piece I've spent a lot of time thinking about. I'm really looking forward ...

As usual, thoughts and comments are loved <3

A very cute, smiley, maid catte! There's something about drawing characters looking happy that just tickles my heart. I'll often find myself imitating the expression that I'm drawing too, which in this case had me nearly dislocating my jaw.

Sometimes in your art career you have pieces that represent the moment you leveled up as an artist, and I think this one is absolutely a milestone for that.
I had SO much fun working on this. Everything- from the lineart to the background was a joy to do and although I'm not one to praise m...

So here's something fancy! As I get more used to working on Procreate, the program actually records timelapses automatically.
The piece in the video is a commission I'm currently working on for which the lineart came out relatively quick and straightforward, so I figured you guys might actu...

Suuuper pleased with how this one turned out, to the point - you better believe it - that there was no fin-2-finnoreally-finfinal.jpg version of this being reuploaded every 1.2 minutes. Truly.
It was also great fun to spirit this piece into existence from a text/loose ref array - especially...

Following in the previous post, I also had to draw my WoL's wife because on top of projecting music videos, we are now also mentally writing trashy high-school AU fanfics.
Don't judge me- you know you've done it too.

So lately I've been really into 80's outrun and synthwave, which of course means I've spent a lot of time creating music videos in my head, which of course means my WoL featured prominently in them, which in turn had me wildly scribbling this at 10pm last night out of a mighty need to see my girl...

Another character for the ever lovely Snu! Tried using a slightly different finish than the white bg+toning combination and I think I like it! Might be making more like this going forward if you guys do as well. Do let me know!

A cute little purple elf for Shadako! Drawing in this hybrid anime style is kinda strange and challenging. Good fun though!

A few warm up sketches from the screens dropped in the #references channel of the discord. Thought they turned out rather neat, so I gave it a paper overlay and now I look like a renaissance artist.
These were all little surprise freebies, so if you're not in the disord - what are you waiti...

Sweet mother of shoulderpads. @_@
This was a challenge, but somehow I managed to get it done in the record time of two days. Maybe I'm turning into a real artist, at last!
2020-02-18 18:49:57 +0000 UTC View PostAs you've all heard me say, I plan to open new comm slots sometime in March. In order to decide how many and what type of slots I open, I've created this brief form so you can register your interest.
So as you all well know, for two years I've been sending out the monthly reward bundles in a Patreon DM that goes out around the 15th of the month. These include all the pieces that you get in the timeline, plus textures and brushes for the advanced tiers and links to stuff I've posted in the tim...

I loved painting the body on this one. The background on the other hand was a hard choice, as I had 3 versions that people seemed to have very polarised opinions about. You can see the other variants below! Which is your favourite?
Note: This commission is from Autumn 2019's bat...

This started as a rough sketch and ended up as you see, after hours of obsessing over this woman's weird-ass face. I fully expect to keep coming back to this to alter her lips a pixel at a time until the number of version files is longer than my leg.

This is a very special piece that was meant to celebrate two lovely people's engagement. I was truly honored to work on this. =)
On a technical note, drawing a head that's slightly tilted, while leaning on another head, with eyes casted down is a true pain in the taint.

Working on this piece was pretty intense, as it featured several concepts I had never tried before. Despite that, I'm very pleased with how it turned out - particularly the background, which I tried to interpret as the soundwaves creating the silhouette of Lydha Lran and Voeburt underneath it. 2020-01-22 09:19:37 +0000 UTC View Post
