All I ask is that you do not share...

Pause for a Photo

I am digging these Polaroid-Ish commissions 😩🧡

Hypnotize Me (process)

Another rendition/part to the icon sets I made for some friends as a commission!! I absolutely love getting commissioned by friends... you guys make my heart go ❤️💕❤️💕

Let me know if you have questions about the process! 👀👍

Aro Ref (WIP 1)

SUPER rough first go at a very detailed ref! This stage is for planning and layout placement, trying to get sizing correct. Things will be changed as I refine (I'll try to remember to post the refined version tonight when I finish it!) I may move around some things still as I add more but I'M HYP...

TIMELAPSE - Macro Comic

HOOOO BOY this was one of my BIG commissions I worked on for the length of last month. I haven't been commissioned for comics very often but I really enjoy the work put into them and the outcome! 

TIMELAPSE - Streamteam Aardpuff

This piece was a little different in terms of technique than my usual work! I roughly colored the piece first and then worked on top of that. It wasn't exactly the most efficient method, I'm not sure if I'll continue doing it, but it definitely achieved a more painterly effect that I was trying t...

TIMELAPSE - Beach time!

I was really excited about this timelapse, although I definitely had to redraw some things a couple times. I want to start incorporating more hand/handpaws in my icons because I think they kinda add to the scene but also....... THE STRUGGLE OF HANDS!!

I might do some studies soon, but thing...

TIMELAPSE - Hiking

Timelapse for one of my larger pieces, really love how this turned out...any opportunity to paint nature and landscapes <3 

Rewards!

More rewards from this month!!

April Icon Theme (for icon tiers)

Hi hi hi! I would love some suggestions for April's icon background theme. Feel free to shoot me some ideas! 

New character? And a warmup!

First slide is my new gal!! Admittedly all my characters are female I can’t help it oops...but I haven’t bought art or a character for myself in a couple months, which is kind a shocker for me! Ya’ll already know I got a problem when it comes to characters 🤣 I would love name suggestions...

TIMELAPSE - Estelle Badge

I tried so many times to draw the letters myself but I ended up moving the piece into indesign and then BACK to procreate to finish. It's my designer background, I've got no idea how to typeset in other programs anymore LOL

Thanks for watching!

Two more icon rewards!!

Finally catching up 🙏 I am super happy with how these came out! 👀

TIMELAPSE - Amana Badge

Timelapse tiiiiiime!! One a day for the next week or so let’s go!! Let me know if you have questions about the process! I got a suggestion to make a small tutorial video for how I use some of the procreate effects so maybe I’ll host a little stream with my mic on and show you guys! Let me kno...

Gift / Warmup

These experimental fun headshots are so much fun to try out some new methods. This month I’ve been doing a LOT of Thay as I’ve been battling some burnout over the last couple weeks. I’m learning to be a lot looser with my lines and anatomy since sometimes I struggle with that static or stuf...

Warm up!

Warmup from last week for Clover! I picked this ref from my discord server, so post a reference in there and I’ll choose randomly whenever I need to warm up before work :3

TIMELAPSE - Angry River

Vent piece from a week or so ago, lots of procreate effects on this piece. Let me know if you want a tutorial on any of the effects and how to get the most out of them!

Foliage Pt 1

Part 1 of my March icon rewards!! Two to go 👀

I’ll make a swipe process for one of these tomorrow!

TIMELAPSE - Gale Reference

This piece was a big one that took me a good 5-6 hours! I really let loose a little and let myself have fun with it. I absolutely love making references, they’re my favorite *w* (i have a big one I’m working on currently👀)

Thanks for watching! As always, let me know if you...

Forgive me!

I am definitely behind on my schedule, lots of unexpected happened these last couple weeks so I’ve been having a bit of a time feeling overwhelmed and burnt out. Good things are on the horizon though, I’m already getting out of the rut I was in, just forgive me if it’s a little slower than ...

Happy Anniversary!

Part 2 of a couple part present from Drap to Mars!! I haven’t done a simple icon style in awhile and honestly?? Kinda missed it!

TIMELAPSE - Meet the Artist

I am so excited to finally be putting this out. (I have videos edited and queued over the next week, so WOO!!) Obviously struggled a lot on the face for this at first...haven't drawn a human in a hot sec. 

Time taken: 6.5 hours

Let me know what you think and thanks for watching! ...

Hypnotize Me (process)

Swipe for progress pictures! I got contacted by a friend for a very last minute gift for their partner. I went with an uncoventional and brighter palette for the both of them, inspired by a doodle of Tesla Mars had drawn!

If you have any questions about the process, feel free to...

Chasin’ Chickens (process)

Swipe process!! I don’t have a ton of versions of this, I kinda just went for it. I’ve had a couple people ask me about my colors, I use a LOT of gradient maps :3 I can show you guys how to use them if you don’t know—it’s a newer feature on procreate!

She’s a QUEEN

Commissions for lovely patron Missy! 🧡

I keep trying new things, not too bad of a turnout, I quite like them! :D

I’m so sorry I’ve been a little quiet, I had a rough week, but I’ll be getting to rewards early next week/later this weekend 🧡

The Hike

Commission for my amazing friend Cade! I loved painting this background and I also loved getting the chance to render some rocks and a cool veggie-gator. A first for me! 🧡

I’m working on editing some new videos I’ll have those uploaded early next week! ‼️

Meet the Artist!

Hi, I’m Boltie / Ash. I’ve always wanted to do something like this. I’m not UNCOMFORTABLE drawing people but it’s really not something I enjoy on a regular basis haha. I did this in my evenings after queue work for the last couple days and I’m really proud of how it turned out. 😭✋�...

Macro Comic (process)

Slowly, so slowly continuing work on my queue. I think things will go a little faster now that some of the larger pieces I’ve had are done. Hopefully I can keep up my momentum!

AUCTION: Complicated Reference Slot (CLOSED)

CLOSED— thank you guys! It was AB by a lovely patron. 🧡

HELLO friends! With my queue currently still full, I will not be opening for regular slots for a couple weeks minimum while I finish up what I have already. Since I need a little extra cash t...
