Weretober 2024 List!
Hey guys! After some tough deliberation, I've put together the list for this year's Weretober! ๐ This one was definitely the toughest so far, just because of how many good suggestions there were ๐ I still tried to steer in the general direction for what you guys were wanting tough. (Most of the prompts here were repeat suggestion, meaning that they appeared multiple times between individual's suggestion lists)I did try to also keep some of the prompts more general, just so that...
Blood Moon (Final) ๐บ๐
Hey guys! Werewolf piece is finally done! Took an extra day longer than expected, but I think it was worth spending the extra time on it. ๐Also, now that this is complete, I'll get to work on putting the Weretober list together, so expect that in the next couple of day!Thanks again and Enjoy! ๐Edit: Made a few small edits to the piece, specifically around the face, the shoulder, and the cloth. For the face, the issue is that there were too many wrinkles in the snout which were muddying...
Bloodmoon WIP + Cypress sketches
Hey guys! Just an update on the blood moon piece. It's going well, and should be finished either tomorrow or Sunday. That's also about the time that I'll be closing up suggestions for the Weretober list, so if you guys have any last minute suggestion you want to add, feel free to head over to that post and drop them in the comments!Also, after my last post on that Cypress Golden leaves piece, I did try another crack at painting it, but I still wasn't feeling it lol. (I even tried...
Bront Figures! (Final) ๐ฎโจ
Hey guys! Bront figures are all finished! Sorry for the wait on these, but with this one having 6 poses, instead of the usual 3-4, it ended up taking a bit more time. Hope you guys like them though! I had a ton of fun with these, and with them being a bit more personal (seeing as he's my d&d character), I think I got a better feel of Bront's personality over some of my others. Or maybe it's just that I had a bit more material to work with, so it felt smoother ๐Either way, thanks a...
Added Print!
Hey guys! Just a heads up that I've added this guy to the print shop. Also there's a 30% off sale going on at the moment for all prints.Also, still working on the Bront Figures, but they should be finished sometime this week! ๐ฎThanks again! ๐๐*Edit - forgot to add the link lol: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/tfiddlerart/
Bront Figures WIP ๐ฎ
All that's left is the painting ๐Thanks for your guy's patience! ๐๐
*Upcoming changes to billing*
Hey guys! So as many have you have probably seen, the apple app store is essentially pushing Patreon and their users to use the subscription billing model to be able to use their app store, and will also be charging a 30% fee for every new subscription that is done through their app. Now, my personal view on it, is that I'm not a fan, because either I will have to eat those costs, or you will have to. But seeing as I don't really have a say, the current billing model (first of the month)...
Blood Moon WIP
Just an update on the blood moon piece! So I was initially gonna have this as a cropped piece, but while trying to fix the pose slightly for the original sketch, I was having issues with the leg placement. My thought, was that I would just draw the full body pose instead just to see the proper placement, then just crop it again, but I ended up liking the composition of the full body better ๐ It also let me change the moon's placement and alter the lighting to something that better shows o...
Biceptember! Ilios ๐ฎ๐ฅ
Since Growls' monthly challenge for September was in part to do a Biceptember piece, I decided to go with one of Hash's Moos; the fiery Ilios! I actually had a few things click for me while working on this one, anatomically speaking, and also grouping the values a bit better in the initial stages while mapping out the shadow forms. So besides having fun with this one, I actually think it was essential that I made it ๐But yeah, Hope you guys like my rendition of him, and thanks again H...
Weretober 2024 Suggestions!
Hey guys!!! We're only a month out from October now, and you all know what that means ๐Would love to get some suggestions from you guys on what you'd like to see on the prompt list this year! Feel free to post em in the comments!Basically the sky's the limit, only thing I'd request is not not suggest any copyrighted stuff or personal OCs. (my characters are ok though) The main reason being that I tend to put them in the print shop afterwards, and I wouldn't be able to do i...
Cypress Golden Leaves?
Hey guys, so for the last two day, I've been working on that other piece "Cypress Golden Leaves", and I thought that I had been getting somewhere with it. Unfortunately, the more I worked on it, the more I noticed I was getting further and further away for the original idea. As a consequence, I liked it less and less. (the piece could also just be cursed lol). But anyway, having drawn a LOT in my life, the sad truth is that this just happens sometimes. You fail at a piece, and you e...
Cypress Golden Leaves (Rework)
Reworking this one, and I'm already liking it better ๐Stay tuned for a finished version lol
Bront Figures (Flats) ๐ฎโจ
Got the poses and flats down ๐Also, doing 6 this time instead of the typical 3-4, because of reasons ๐Thanks, and Enjoy! ๐
Ogin Figures! (Final)
Hey guys! Ogin's figure page is now complete! Had lot's of fun with him! ๐Now that he's finished, a certain Toga-wearing Moo is next ๐ฎ๐Thanks again for your guys's patience! ๐๐
Wolf Druid Final! ๐บ๐ฑ
And he is done! Definitely spend a longer amount of time on this piece than I was expecting initially, but I think it was well worth it. You guys can let me know though ๐Also, I was thinking of a name for him... maybe Ardian, or Sylvius? What do you guys think ๐คRegardless, thanks again for all the patience and support, guys! Hope you guys like him! ๐๐
Forest Wolf update + Blood Moon sketch
Hey guys! Getting pretty close to finishing this guy now! Still gotta add some textures here and there, as well as a bit of clothing (likely minimal stuff for accents). Therefore, the next post for him will be the final! Also, apparently there was a red moon yesterday, during the moon rise at least, so this idea came to mind and I had to sketch it out lol. May end up rendering it sometime soon as well since it could also serve as a good background for the Weretober 2024 list ๐ (please have yo...
Wolf WIP (update)
More progress on the wolf piece! Added in a loose background, and also playing around with some subtle rim lighting. I also lengthened the canvas a bit to make room for a bit more of the legs, and I'll probably gonna give him a nice loincloth as well ๐บโจ*Edit - Did more work, so adding another progress shot ๐*Edit - More progress on this piece. Changed up the background to have a more solid composition. Still loose, but an environment is taking shape. I changed the dimensions back to ...
Tutorial: Iridescent Highlights part 2
Hey guys! So here's a follow up to the last post with the video tutorial on how to do the colourful highlights. I've made some slides that have the process written down, in case you prefer that over the video. (Also included what the bust looks like once painted as the first picture)Also, because I'd gotten a few followups about the technique on other apps that don't have the chromatic aberration option available, I've also put in a slide that shows an alternate way to get a ...
Tutorial: Iridescent Highlights
Hey guys! So I've gotten quite a few people now asking about how I do the sort of rainbow like/ iridescent specular highlights in my art, so I figured I'd put together a quick video show how I go about doing that. As mentioned in the video, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them in the comment section!Thanks again! ๐
Cypress Ref Update + Wolf
Hey guys! another update for ya! The base for the Cypress ref is pretty much done, just gotta play around with the outfit ideas I had, now. ๐ Also I was gonna do this quick wolf piece for International Wolf day today, but I ran out of time lol. I'll probably have it finished later on this week. ๐Thanks again guys, and please enjoy! ๐
New Cypress Refsheet WIP
Working on a new ref for Cypress, since he's gone through some slight appearance changes in the last 8-9 months. Also wanted to try out some outfit ideas as well, but I gotta built up the base body first ๐Thanks and enjoy! ๐
Darius for Doggust!
Since KillianTheRoo made such an awesome piece of my Boi Cypress for Smaugust, I decided to return the favour and do one of his Dragon, Darius, but for Doggust instead ๐ I went back to a process I used to use a lot more for this one, which was to work in greyscale and then colour it using blending modes, in this case Overlay. I tend to like to do this when there are a lot of complex colour patterns on a character, that way I can focus on the forms and the patterns separately without anything ...
DerpyDrake Commission - Arkees! ๐
A long awaited piece for Derpy of his infamous boyo Arkees! It had been a while since I'd properly drawn him so I had to familiarize myself with his character again by looking over some older refs and drawing I'd done of him. And although Derpy had something fairly specific in mind for this one, he still gave me a lot of room to play around with Arkees, to really show off his character. We had gone through a few iteration of the piece before final settling on this pose and composition. I...
Happy B-Day Zankies!
Zanks was the other individual I'd mentioned in the last post, who wanted a hug from Cypress ๐ It's a good thing his birthday was ALSO approaching when he said it ๐ Once again, Hope you had a wonderful day man! (and I hope the Koopa king didn't push you around too much ๐)Thanks again, and Enjoy!๐ฎ๐ซ๐ถ
Happy B-day Growl! (again ๐)
Just a little thing I'd done for Growl on his big day ๐ There was a joke in there about a couple of individuals wanting a hug from Cypress, and since you can never joke around an artist without the joke potentially becoming a drawing... yeah ๐Once again, hope you had a great day man, and I hope you have many more awesome Birthdays to come!Cheers!
Ogin Figures, Reighli Sketch and new ๐ ?
Hey guys! Have a few things to share. First is another update on the Ogin Figure page! All the forms are blocked in, and now all that's left is just the rendering part. ๐Also was in the mood to draw some Reighli, lookin' all snazzy, and just further exploring his outfit lol.Also, I had an idea for a four-eyed dragon-looking dude, and so there are a couple of sketches of that. He has dem teefs. ๐ (also included some of the steps for the one, as it involved more exploration with the...
WereMoose Final! ๐ซ๐
Final done this one! I had to walk away and then come back to it a few times, mostly because I had lost my direction for the piece. My initial idea when going into this was to make a WereMoose, however through the sketching phase, my brain was like: "But what if Druid Moose" which then changed to "Moose that's Hunting?"... So anyways, it took some time before I came back full circle to my original idea ๐ Also, I've been playing around with the medium round airbrush a b...
Moo On Duty
The struggles of Cypress working as a lifeguard lol. Just a quick piece for one of Growlshift's monthly challenges. Hope you guys enjoy this little non-canon scenario ๐Thanks again!
Bunch of Sketches and WIPs
Hey guys, here's a bunch of stuff that I've been working on. Got the sketches done for the Ogin figure page. The Cypress forest sketch is based on that piece that I did a short while ago, that I'd mentioned I wasn't super font of. It's basically a second attempt with the idea, but the composition is different. Next was just a random sketch of Cypress from the back. It was in line with the next one which is a sktchpg of some more figures/poses from various back views. I used s...
Cypress Fight
Cypress: "You should see the other guy..."What was initially gonna be a "blep" doodle (inspired by Hash's piece lol) turned into this idea instead ๐Also, apologies for the length between posts. I had to take a few days off from drawing, due to some neck and trapezius issues that have been persisting for the last couple of weeks. Luckily after a few physio treatments, it seems to be under control now. Hope all is well with you guys, and thanks again! ๐
