I wasn't supposed to post this latest BATS IN THE RING piece this month. I was supposed to wait until January. But I couldn't be patient, I was so excited to finally show Terry's arrival I ended up posting it to social media earlier today with the excuse that it's supposed to see us into the new ...

Someone on twitter wanted to know how I accomplished the dynamic, changing lighting on Jason, so I recorded a very quick voice over of how I accomplished it in After Effects! It was my first time recording anything on my new headset, though, and I fear I have some messing around ...

And for you lovely patrons! Here's the HQ version of my fake Titantron screen that I put in the Coronation Invaded painting! Now you, too, can turn your monitor/cell phone/tablet screen/why are you watching this on a television screen into the BATS IN THE RING Titantron!

This is part 8 of Bats in the Ring! I knew from a while ago it was going to be a video, and that it'd feature Jason in front of the screen, but I'll go into the process later, once Bats in the Ring Act 2 wraps up (....which honestly won't be for a hot second, since it's JUST getting started!)

I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday season so far. There are a few new faces here, and I just wanted to thank all the newcomers for joining, and to reiterate my appreciation for the continued support of the longtimers. I honestly can never thank you all enough for supporting me in doing wha...

I hope you've all had a wonderful holiday season so far! Just a quick announcement for the new faces and anyone considering joining this patreon: rewards always drop on the 1st of the month, and span the art made in the previous month.
December's rewards will include ...

BATS IN THE RING has been a project a few years in the making. Back in 2017, I jotted down in a notepad "batfamily as wrestlers!" and knew it was an idea I'd love to bring to life, but I knew...

Just a quick announcement to say I've made most of the Bats in the Ring pieces available to purchase as art prints over at my InPRNT! As a thank you to you all, patrons can get 10% off their purchase with the code II60AK until January 4th!
Hey folks! I just received an e-mail from the creator of the Photoshop script I covered in my last Patreon video that all items in his Gumroad, including Perspective Tools v2, is on sale for 30% off! Th...

First of all - thank you all for continuing to bear with me as I experiment with the easiest and most efficient delivery method for these rewards. I think I've finally figured it out for the art rewards. Here they are a few days ahead of schedule because - I dunno, it's the holidays!! 2019-11-29 21:04:11 +0000 UTC View Post
October rewards just went out! :)
I'm still experimenting with how I'll deliver the monthly rewards -- I think I'll be doubling up with both posting them as patron-only posts (so even new patrons will be able to go back and see old posts and immediately be rewarded with content the moment t...

I've been SO hesitant to share a timelapse process video that shows this early of a sketch stage because I am so embarrassed about my terrible sketching and I haven't wanted anyone to see just how BAD it is. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: draftsmanship is not my strong point. :(

Hey folks!! This has been a rough past two months for me.I haven't had much energy or time to devote to art, and I've been low-key (read as: high-key) stressing over not having any content to share with you, and you're all my number one priority. That said, I at least have SOME stuff I'm excited ...

KON!!!! I'm so sorry to Mei X, who requested him, for forgetting him the first round. (I hope this is the Superboy version you meant! I LOVE 90s jacket and glasses Superboy) I really loved how he turned out!
I feel like if Kon lived in Hawaiʻi (my home!!) for as long as he did, he for sure...

Ahh, sorry this is a bit late, but thank you to all the patrons who contributed character requests for September rewards. Here they are! Scarlet Witch, Professor Pyg, and Ada Wong! I had a ton of fun testing new brushes for CSP and inking styles. I am... still terrible at inking. But I'm feeling ...

Hey folks! I know it's a little early for September rewards, but here's what's up:
My partner switched jobs this month (ultimately a very good thing for his career!), and during this hectic transition, I've barely had any time or energy to draw or paint this month, and it's looking like I w...

Here's my first ever paint process video! It's the first ever mostly because this was the first time I actually remembered to hit record while I worked, ahaha... ha. I think it's at about 14x speed -- I tried to find that sweet spot of not so fast that it's just a blur of what I'm doing, and not ...

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for your continued support. My Patreon might be small and a little slow, but running it has easily become my favorite medium for sharing art with you. Here's some WIPs and sketches from this past month.

Hey folks! Thank you so much for your support! Here's the speedpaint process vid that was a part of July's rewards. It's still in the dropbox link for you to download directly if you want it, but I'm going to try having some speedpaint/process videos live as patron-only posts, too!
