SKETCHBOOK 59

So this is the second one I've done, and I'd like to do a quick introductiont o my sketchbooks:

I've been keeping "sketchbook" PSDs for... a long time now. Basically, what I do is open up a new PSD at 13x20in and 300dpi, so it's big enough for illustrations, or for storing many sketches. Ea...

Mira Hairstyle Test

We're tossing the idea of changing up hairstyles after part one ends, so I wanted to do some sketches for Mira's possible new haircut! I posted this on social media, but I've added the sketch for yall <3

Thanks for your support!

Drawing the Other Eye Tutorial!

Another tutorial I put together! I got a lot of questions on how to draw the other eye in 3/4 view so I thought I'd share my thought process on it. In all honesty, it's mostly practice! The other eye doesn't have to be 100% anatomically perfect, as long as if it looks okay, and not distracting! 2020-06-12 15:18:03 +0000 UTC View Post

I've decided to send this print out for $10+ patrons! I'll be getting this together soon, and also I am hoping to have some mystery stickers to send out, as well! 

Hope you're staying safe and healthy, and thanks for your support <3

Basil and Oregano (New Project)

Sorry I've been quiet lately! With everything going on, I've felt like self-promotion is taking a back-burner. I've been working on some projects and I'm happy to share with you some designs for my upcoming graphic novel pitch, "Basil and Oregano"! I'm currently working on pitch pages and a manus...

Rainbow Flare Tutorial + Extras

I posted this tutorial on my social media, but I thought I'd share some extra tips with my patrons! I use rainbow flares a lot in my work and I've had a lot of people asking me how I do it, so I thought I'd simplify it a bit. 

Thanks for your support! <3

Sailor Moon Redraw!

 Did something quick. I've always admired the Sailor Moon aesthetic, and saw that the redraw challenge was floating around again and wanted to give it a try! I'm posting it a day early for my wonderful patrons <3

Thanks for your support!

Patreon Changes: What Would You Like to See?

I would really enjoy your feedback on this! I'm currently in the process of revamping/relaunching this Patreon and I'm wondering what I should try moving towards. I know I post comic wips, art wips, art processes, tutorials, etc. but I'm curious to see what you think could be different/added. I'm...

Animal Crossing Fanart (HQ for Phone Wallpaper)

Got a lot of requests to make this HQ, so here it is!

Falconhyrste: Page 251 (Sketch)

Sketch provided by the wonderful Clara W.

We're working on new pages finally! With the Kickstarter wrapping up finally, we can now get back to work. We're not sure when we'll be back from hiatus, but we want to build up a buffer first so we'll get back to you on that. But in the meantime, y...

Magical Girl OC Zine Illustration

Hey all! I just finished up this illustration for the Magical Girl OC Zine! I'll have more information available when the zine is done in production.

This month's $10+ patron rewards are up! I have twitter posts for them instead because one is a fancy video to show the holographic sticker!<...

Reward Package Update

It appears that some of the packages have been returned to me, and I've kinda figured out why, lol. So far only two, but I'll have those fixed and sent ASAP. 

Thanks!

Remaster Update + Reward Update

We are nearing the end of our remastering journey. The book is officially going to print Monday and hopefully (fingers crossed) we'll have it by Friday, because I have a show on Saturday (NWI Comic Con). Because of this, we've opened up pre-orders if you're interested in grabbing a copy. Fill out...

Rewards Are DONE!

So very sorry for the delay! This have been hectic to say the least. But! I'm going to get these rewards out this weekend! Thank you so much for your patience. I'll be sending both these prints, plus the two cat stickers, and a picture of Kitt with your package.

Thank you for your continued...

Reward Update

Hey everyone! First of all, I want to thank you for your support and patience. In the last month, I've been swamped with deadlines on top of having to take on emergency commissions to cover vet bills. There's been a large decrease in pledges on my Patreon, which is understandable, but the lessene...

Print Progress Update

As always, sorry for the delay! Prints are still underway, and I just finished lining one of them! I figured I would share the progress since it's been a while. I'll have a full tutorial set up for this illustration once it's all done. Hoping to get these ready to send out by next week! <3

CHATER SIX: SYZYGY

The final chapter of the first arc of Falconhyrste. This one's gonna be a doozy. 

But Melissa! There's already a chapter six! Well, we're working through things, but the current first and second chapter will be merged into one, so that we don't have a chapter that's 5 pages long, haha....

SPIRIT- Pages 6-8 FINISHED

Well... minus lettering, which is still in-progress. But we plan on having the book finished by the end of January. Lots of great pages in this one, so we're looking forward to you seeing the final product!

Thanks for your support! <3

Cat Stickers!

To celebrate reaching my goal and being able to get a printer, I've made stickers and prints for every patron, new and existing, to receive! Think of it as a late Christmas present. The offer ends on December 31st (tomorrow!!) so sign up before then to receive your reward. This includes internati...

Reward Update: Stickers ORDERED!

Hey everyone! 

An update on the cat stickers: they've been ordered! Since it's the holidays, production and shipping is likely going to take a while (order is estimated to arrive December 20-30th). But I should have the prints done and this special ends on December 31st, so it's plenty...

2019 Brushes

I've been meaning to share more of my progress, and I thought the best way to start would be  to share my brushes! I don't use too many, but I have a handful for useful brushes for different reasons.

Sticker Reward Update

Update: they're coming along well! It's definitely been a learning curve learning how to draw and render cats, but it's been fun! I can't wait to finish these and get them printed.

I set up my new printer and everything turned out great! I've run some test prints and I'm happy to say I'm re...

Thank You + Update!

December's pledges have been processed, and I just wanted to say thank you! Your continuing support really helps! I went bargain-hunting this Black Friday weekend and finally found myself a printer! It's a cheaper one, but I got a good deal on it. I'm just testing the printing-waters with this on...

Print Sketches

Progress on the print rewards! Hopefully I can get a decent printer very soon and run some tests. I'm excited to get these illustrations completed! 

Sticker Update!

So I've finally made a decision on stickers! They'll be paired with the prints like a big pack, so I'm excited to produce this!

The stickers are going to be cat familiars for the two witches featured in the prints, Coffee Witch and Tea Witch! I have the witches sketched out and I have those...

Sticker Reward Update!

Hey all!

I've been busy working on sticker designs, and I think I've decided on a theme for the stickers and prints- a Coffee Witch and a Tea Witch (SPOILER ALERT they're girlfriends too)! I ran a poll on Twitter and the results were overwhelmingly in favor of original art, so I decided to ...

Long Time No See...

Very sorry for being gone so long! I understand my last post was a few weeks ago. Things have been super busy. I signed on a new graphic novel, finished my first 22-page original story, got sick, and even signed a short deal with Netflix! But fear not, there's been renewed interest in my Patreon ...
