There is a 'hashtag' going around on social media that is aimed towards creators on Patreon thanking their patrons. I indeed thought this was a good idea, but Twitter isn't a good medium to do this, both for both sanity or for posts longer than a small paragraph, so I thought I would make this...

Still in a bit of a grey space creatively and mentally, the winter 'whee' time has hit with its usual vengeance so I thought I'd spend some time getting paintings done of the dozens of images that I have in the 'ready to paint' stages.
I wanted to spend a bit of time in a happy space, and these tw...

I've been having a heck of a time finding the 'inspired drive' to get a digital sketch done for about a week now. While I have been sketching quite a bit, much of it was to just try and keep my mind in a creative space and keep my hands in a practiced space.
While none of it is really ...

Extra pixels means extra spook.

I've finally managed to get the colours on this one done before our own 'Spookenpumpkin' eve.
As always, the full image is attached at the link at the bottom of this post.
May your hauntings be many and spooky (but not too spooky).

"Ayes Mr. Brindlecrank, all our pumpkins are grown with care. A few took a couple hailstones to the head though. It just means they need extra love."

2018-10-27 01:16:15 +0000 UTC View PostJust wanted to keep people in the loop that there will be (another) change that Patreon is putting forth on November 7th allowing creators to post updates based on 'dollar amount' totals instead of tiers.

With this ongoing health issue I've been under for the last 20 days I've had a massive backlog of things to catch up on, including squaring away about a dozen sketches that I've had sitting around in various states of 'scribble'. Its been a slow process but I didn't want to rush through trying...

I hadn't planned on posting this very rough sketch given that its.. well, very rough. It was done as another warm up that turned into something I quite liked.
And seeing as the other art I've been working on today was getting the flat colours down on the next painting I'm doing, which isn't ...

Another sketch I wanted to get down in some form. Chime meeting the first Haunok she'd ever seen in her fairly sheltered life.
The shop is an herbalists and alchemists named 'Grazing Fields', named as a bit of an in-joke between Torvael, a large Haunish gardener and his mate, a Lorrnath from...

When the fog of the art block lifted recently, largely in part of getting some sleep infused into my clockwork meat-frame, I started getting a lot of light-hearted images bouncing around in my head.
Much of them to do with Cinders (and her modern-day avatar Cindy). I have about a dozen pictu...
