Announcing Bonus Poll April 2022

Hi everyone,

Mother's day is coming up, and there's still a week left this month, so I thought it would be a good idea to do a little bonus poll. It's short notice, so I'm only going to have the poll up for 3 days to ensure I have plenty of time to plan and finish it before May 7th. It'll c...

Hi Deluxe Tier,

This week was very busy between art and grad school so I didn't have much time to color some of these sketches. I think making two paintings per week is pushing my limit while I'm finishing my degree, but I think I can get used to it. We'll keep trying it, but I promise if I...
