?Xerxes FC (Commission)

A b&w pose page commission of a character owned by @Xerxes_NSFW on twitter.

? Toriel

First time giving Toriel a draw. I'd like to draw more of her! Her design is just so satisfyingly simple. Playing around with color some more. Really just trying to shake off my fear and trepidation around the subject, and the only way to do that is just jump into the deep-end, I feel! Just trying to have fun and see what I can learn along the way. :)

📚 Anatomy studies

Really digging into some study now that we're set up in the studio/office. I'm enjoying refreshing myself on my earlier knowledge of anatomy, but also kick off the effort to really, properly build a visual library. There's only one way to do that, and that's repetition, repetition, repetition. There are patterns and rhythms of the human body and I'm just gosh dang determined to burn into my brain, into that visual library in my head. Essentially, what I'm doing with color...

? WIP :: Arabian Nights Rouge #2

Still chipping away at this one. I feel like it's starting to come together! Shrunk the composition a bit.

Cove the Tiger

Since I am eager to expand into more furry/kemono-esque subjects, and heard back from Patrons in my Discord that they would be similarly eager to see them, I figured I might as well start with my own OC.So here's a furry/kemono version of my surfer girl, Cove. She's a golden/strawberry tiger.I've also added the Sonic-style versions of her.My Discord server is the hub of most Patron activity! If you'd like to join, connect your Discord account. You will be joined into the server a...

Art Stream!

A bit of a late-night stream this time, but try to pop in!

Sketch Pile

Well heck! Have some sketches. These updates will be sort of a running sketchbook where you see the product of my time spent trying to figure stuff out.ZIP file with HD versions is attached!

Arabian Nights Rouge (WIP)

Here’s a WIP of the current big illustration I’m making. I’m really trying to push my understanding of color into new places, because I want to start creating more scenes like this which take atmosphere and lighting into account. It’s a little scary to be venturing into new places artistically, but nothing is scarier than stagnating.

Bound Sam (Commission)

A commission for @doggie_bones on Twitter of their character, Sam. I’m excited to try out more human subjects, or at least more subjects with more human-like bodies, as this was fun to do. :)HD version is attached.

October Schedule & The Return of Art Streams

Hey everyone! Will be posting a WIP illustration update later today, but first...Monthly Content & Event Schedule! (Ooo, ahh, shiny~) I thought it was time to have a bit more structure to each month, which will be good for me and for you! You’ll know when to expect content (like big ol’ sketch piles and illustrations) to be delivered, and events, like...Art Streams! It’s been over a year now since I’ve streamed, heck. As I‘ve been working solely on my iPad, I haven’t been able to stream vi...

90’s Amy Time Lapse (file attached)

Thank you all for being so patient and continuing to support my work even while this tier didn’t have a “super-premium extra benefit” for a bit. I‘m glad to confidently say that you can expect these time lapse videos on the regular. I hope you enjoy seeing my process! :)EDIT: I have also attached the original file for those who wish to download it to view in higher fidelity. I guess I should look into getting a yearly Vimeo subscription, as the quality of the viewable video is much better th...

Hip Hog (90’s Amy)

Well heck. I’m still learning the ropes of using Procreate, so while this is a little rough it’s my first completed illustration made using it! As I use it more, I know I’ll find more efficient and elegant workflow methods, but I’m pretty proud of how this turned out!Patron Benefits for this illustration: $1 Patrons: Non-watermarked HD .PNG (See file attached to this post) $5 Patrons: Full Time Lapse Video

Wave sketch page

There are some characters that I feel I haven’t drawn enough of just in general. So doing character exploration doodles helps prime the pump for later adult work, so to speak. But these have value in and of themselves! Plus, they’re fun. :)(HD version attached)

Rouge sketch page

(HD version attached)

Hip Hog (rough sketch)

I’m so thrilled to say that I’ve finally started getting the hang of working in Procreate on the iPad. One thing this means is that I can finally add Timelapse Videos back as a $5 Patron benefit!Procreate captures every stroke made as opposed to the duration of time spent, which makes for more efficiently-sized videos, plus I don’t have to worry about forgetting to flip recording on and off, it just happens automatically.

Rocco Jackal

A couple pieces for n00neimportant featuring his character, Rocco. HD versions attached! More sexy art will be next, promise. :)

Yitters

Gasp. Something cute? HD version is attached!

Blair the Seal

July Rewards

Hey everyone! I’ve decided that I’ll be sharing commissions I’ve done here on Patreon going forward. That means as patrons you’ll see all future commissions as Early Access, as well as receiving the HD version of them. For July’s rewards, I’ve thrown together a bundle of past commissions in HD size, but all future rewards will have fresh and juicy new work.Because $5 Patrons have been experiencing difficulty viewing PSDs, and since I may be sharing fewer of them going forward, I will be sw...

Life Update + Discord

Hello my dear Patrons,Thank you for your patience and unwavering support through the last few months during which I’ve been going through a very personal and difficult time. I haven’t been producing nearly as consistently as I’ve been wanting to. The good news of it is that the biggest part of the storm has passed for me now, and it appears that things will be more consistent here on this Patreon going forward.To assist with this and in keeping in touch with patrons in a more casual way, I’v...

Submit Your Ideas for April Artwork

Here's the Suggestion post for April!What would you like to see me draw? Comment below!I'll pick my top 3 suggestions, sketch them out and place them in a poll. Patrons in the Treasure Scope tier will get to vote on them to determine which one I'll complete!

Blaze (Chinese New Year) +High-Res PNG +WIP extra

High-Res PNG (Attached)+Layered PSD File for $5 PatronsHad so much fun with this one. Definitely took my time in the sketch phase and let it evolve, worked on the shapes. Laid in the colors in the sketch tie-down phase instead of waiting until inks were done. It helped me picture the final product in a constructive way rather than stressing over trying to do that right from the start!UPDATE: Added a couple WIP images to show the initial sketch+color draft
