October icon timelapses part 1

At last, part one of the commission timelapses featuring two icons I did in the latest batch! October has followed the same fashion as September with being all around weird in every aspect (which involved lots of personal health anxiety), but working on all these fall themed pieces has brought so...

Line art WIPs and sketches

As I'm approaching the finalizing parts of this icon batch, I thought it would be about time to show you the line art I've worked on for all the individual pieces! Not usre how much this part interests people, but it's something I have been tried to learn to get better at and I want to share thes...

Reference sheet commission - Timelapse + composition notes

Timelapse of this reference sheet I finished recently for Bratblush! You can see me struggle a bit with the composition but I guess this only creates a perfect basis for the few tips for planning out a composition that also helped me to figure out the final placement of things here. I have this t...

UPDATE: The YCH has been claimed! 🎃 Icon commission applications will remain open for 1-2 hours!

ICON COMMISSIONS

I'm also open for more icons (180€ each)! This time the autumn or Halloween theme is greatly encouraged, however please feel free to apply with any id...

Reference sheet commission timelapse

Have I ever told you how much I love working on reference sheets? I KNOW I have every time I post one, but I just can't help it especially now that I feel like I have found my style in constructing them. Everything I create includes a bit of a trial and error (often more) but first and foremost I...

September icon commission timelapse 1/3

A cozy autumn themed icon that I had the pleasure to illustrate for Nordeva who is also owner of the characters! 🍂 It was so much fun to work with the colors on this as the yellowish green represents exactly what I see when I look out of my office's window at the moment. I usually lean towards...

September stickers part 2 (timelapse)

As a continuation to the latest post, here's the second part of last month's sticker rewards as well as the whole collection of them all in the same canvas! I hope you don't mind the autumn being a recurring theme in my art this month, the weather and colors just inspire me so much!

September stickers (part 1) + life update

At long last, here's finally the first part of the recordings of me working on the September sticker rewards that have been sent out to the subscribers of the Caught on Camera tier! I got to work on lots of fun prompts again this time around as you can see here. A couple of season appropriate thi...

Lineart WIPs

I have been working on all projects simultaneously (including the sticker/sketch rewards) which of course means that I'll have a spam of timelapses as well as step-by-steps coming up very soon as I'm nearing the end of the queue, but don't have a much share in the meantime. 🙈 I also have some ...

Sketch dump!

Here are almost all of the sketches of things I have been working on lately! I'm happy that I was on a roll with these last week so that I avoided any major delays, which leads to the story I have to tell;

I like to always keep a stash of spare pen tips for my tablet pen so that I don't ru...

Pixel art timelapse

I realized that I never posted the timelapse of this pixel piece I did for Bratblush during Artfight so here it is! Updates around commission openings tend to be slow as the beginning involves tons of emails, but I'll have a bunch of sketches to post by the end of the week. On top of that I was a...

Open for icon commissions! (CLOSED)

UPDATE: The form is closed now, thank you SO much for your interest in these! ❤️ I will get back to everyone today and tomorrow - I pick the projects to work on and send all the emails manually, so I appreciate the patience! Thank you so much again! :)

August stickers part 2 + commission opening

And here comes the second part of August sticker rewards! Here's them all together for a better view. :)

I will open a few icon commission slots on 4 PM today (Helsinki time)! Not first come first...

August stickers 1

Part 1 of August sticker rewards! Made this slightly longer compilation of speedpaints than usual, as I'll post these in 2 parts this time. I know I have said this before, but I just love the range of characters I get to draw! I remember being worried of how I'm able to set my mindset for each st...

The best thing (timelapse)

And here's the timelapse of the anniversary art I drew for my girlfriend! 💛 Thank you so much for you all for the lovely messages, it means a lot! 🥹💛

The best thing (step-by-step)

"She is the best thing that's ever been mine" ❤️ 

As I mentioned in my latest update I have been sick on-off for a while but I'm so happy that didn't keep me from finishing this for me and my girlfriend's anniversary that was on the 22nd! I wanted to include her ...

Ginga (timelapse)

I apologise for the lack of updates as I've been sick, but as I'm now recovered I'll try my best toi make up for the sluggish schedule with more updates and a bigger step-by-step post! So here's what to expect this week as my work resumes as usual.

Before that, the Artfight series continue...

In your pawsteps (timelapse)

The Artfight 2024 timelapses continue! Thought it would be fun to post a process of this as it has two characters interacting, which is something that can be a bit of a challenge in terms of achieving a dynamic composition. I had a pretty clear idea in mind for this though, and was excited to imp...

Ash (timelapse)

Another Artfight 2024 piece! This one actually means a lot to me in a sense that it was finally starting to feel like I was breaking out of the artblock cycle I told about in a previous post. You can see how I left some part of this unpolished, and that was totally intentional - I wanted to make ...

AF24 - Kiyiriro (Step-by-step)

My fears came true and the timelapse recording of this file got corrupted. OTL So I tried my best to gather up as comprehensive step-by-step of the process of this Artfight piece as I could! Then again, it WAS about time that I posted one and I personally feel like these kind of posts might give ...

July stickers timelapse (part 3)

Finally posting these! Last month was extremely busy with Artfight and everything but honestly I had a lot of fun working on everything! I need a moment to catch my breath which also means putting my focus on posting everything I have drawn in the past month. Let's start with the last part of Jul...

Pixel art timelapse

Pixel art is something I found my love towards pretty early on and seem to be drawn back towards periodically. It's somehow so cozy to work with, and a refreshing change to my usual routine! I hope to develop the style so that I can feel comfortable adding something like this to my commission lin...

July stickers timelapse (part 2)

July stickers part 2! Although I like how the first sticker shown in this video came out, the process is a bit of a walk of shame because my migraine hangover brain decided that it's time to draw the wrong console - even when the correct one is my all time personal favorite! 😅 At least I notic...

July stickers timelapse (part 1)

First round of July stickers that I actually finished ages ago, but it's been such a busy month that I only got around posting them now. 😅 I hope you won't mind the upcoming spam of sticker process videos!

Land Ahoy! (timelapse)

Finally uploading some Artfight pieces, this is for TOMBOYWOLF!

As you can see, I struggled to get the pose and perspective right in the beginning - and related to that, I'm going to be vulnerabl...

Character page commission (color and detail timelapse)

Continuation tot he previous post that showed the sketch and lineart process for this commission! Seriously, what's up with me not using more blue in my work? This was so much fun to make, all thanks to the client for coming up with amazing ideas that were a blast to work with! ^^

Character page commission (sketch + lineart timelapse)

A character page commission from the latest batch! decided to post the process of this in two parts, as the recordings for bigger pieces like this tends to end up over 10 minutes long.

Sticker set commission (timelapse)

Another sticker set commission from the latest batch! I was first going to post something else, but decided to pace out the posts by their content like this instead so that I won't dump tons of stickers on you at once! Don't mind me, I just love drawing them! This set was no exception, these...

Connecting icons (step-by-step)

Already posted the timelapse of the process of this icon commission, but I have tried to focus on improving my use of light and shadow in art lately so I wanted to share these notes with you all!...

Connecting icons (timelapse)

Finally getting to share this icon commission I recently finished for a returning and very patient client 🙏Not one family member in our household was spared from one illness or another last month so I'm really grateful for my clients being understanding with changes in my schedule these kind o...
