Jim's! Flower Cart [timelapse]

I split this recording into two parts so that the file size wouldn't crash my computer. So please enjoy this rare double length (2 minutes) timelapse.The first half is just the underpainting, the second half is me tripping over my process the whole time.Back to VImeo again for this one, I'm still looking for a more permanent solution to video hosting before the collection gets too big. If anyone has trouble viewing please let me know!

Thrakos Heavy Armor

Couple of recent commissions for Thrakos!Began with the icon, then he wanted to see what it would look like as a full illustration! Which is cool because ... I kinda wanted to see that too.May have gone a little overboard with these, as I tend to do when drawing armor.

Thrakos Full Body Timelapse

Annnnnd the process for the full body! This one was really involved wow.

Thrakos Icon Timelapse

Just the timelapse~

Thrakos Commissions [WIPs]

These pieces are linked and equally well documented so I'm grouping it into one post. Timelapses will be uploaded separately.About the process: Client wanted a new icon, I've done an icon for him before that he really liked so I kept that in mind while thumbnailing. Made sure to have the face plate/helmet be the focus. When I thumbnail I tend to start with the most "safe" composition and end with the most "risky" comp. In this case I started with something similar to that...

Last Week of February

Hello all! The shortest month of the year is almost over and I have an idea of what you can expect come March: The bulk of what I got is commission work as you may have guessed. I am also curating a selection of doodles that I think are good enough to share and may inform future art. Also the summer themed illustration is well on its way but I'll be posting it a bit later in the month. Why you ask? Well I just scored another big non-fandom related gig and I'm suddenly very swamped with p...

Happy Valentine's Day!

Nothing's really changed since last week so this isn't a real update. Just gonna enjoy my Valentine's Day and I hope you do too! Love thyself above all else~And have this lil experimental 4-panel that Twitter thinks is relatable.

Feb Week 1 Update

Henlo and welcome to Monday! Hope everyone is doing alright~What I've been up to: Commissions remain my primary focus this month although they have been slow. I have a barrage of miscellany that is getting worked on between more important things (the summer pic is one of them). And of course, I am picking away at the outline for the Hal comic. I've come to accept that this is a long term project for which my passion has only grown. This month is basically what I expected it to be so far,...

Jan into Feb Update

Hello beautiful people, it's been quite a week for me.Quick reminder that the pay-cycle for February is paused, I will not be posting art this month.You don't have to unsub, you just won't be charged for the month. I will be focusing on commissions during this time. Concerning my health: Pretty much recovered from my booster and my mental health is .... well, it is what it is!Monday text updates will continue through the month in an effort to be more communicative/transparent, even i...

Mental Health Update

Yesterday I had a full mental breakdown.Something small sent me spiraling out of control. I knew I was stressed but didn't realize how bad it was until I lost my composure and couldn't get it back. It took a full 24 hours to get back to "normal."In addition, I'm struggling to find buyers for most of the YCHs I have drawn out and my booster shot is around the corner-- basically my plans for next month are falling apart.Therefore I'm pausing the billing cycle for February.I...

January Week 4 Update

Greetings and hope everyone had a good weekend! Here's the business:Last week was spent getting the YCHs ready for posting, two of which will be going up on Twitter today.This week will see the completion of those pieces and also the Summer themed piece. I should have all that ready to post the first week of February, so next month's pay-cycle is definitely ON.Still loaded with ideas as I mentioned in last week's post, though I haven't been able to prioritize any of these as I ha...

January Week 3 Update

Henlo, happy Monday! Let's get right to it.Last WeekMost of last week was spent on those YCH backgrounds I mentioned. I think three is enough, here's a preview of what I have.This WeekI want to get The Vineyard and The Dungeon YCHs listed on Twitter ASAP so I will be finishing those up first. Then I'll work on the Sultry Summer illustration, which currently is a highly developed sketch. The Flower Cart YCH will follow that in terms of priority.Side note: A lot of this work was stream...

Just Touching Base

Greetings, hope everyone had a good week. I know I did! 🤭 Now that the content for the month is out I have a few things to say:Firstly, big thanks to everyone who stuck around through the radio silence, to new patrons, to return customers and to the familiar faces who pledged to see the art this month. I see all of you! 🙏I still have a lot of stuff to grind before I can be anywhere close to where I want to be, but this has been a fantastic start to my year considering how far back I was se...

Apex Springs IV [ 2 versions]

Now with internal shot and a lil something extra.

Apex Springs IV

Last of four! 🙏This was a wild ride, y'all. I learned a lot from this series and I can look at it and feel as if 2021 wasn't a total waste for me in terms of furry art. So much of my time last year was taken by other things, I'm glad I was able to make something meaningful for myself even if it was at the last minute.An extra big thank you to everyone who pledged to see these, both new and returning faces. The support has been really encouraging! I will be making a post soon about...

Apex Springs III [high res]

This is the big one! You know the drill by now, ZIP attached for easy download.Do y'all prefer that I keep uploading the high reses like this? Or should I be using lighter preview images for those with slower internet?? I've considered switching to a single JPG that previews the contents of the ZIP folder instead. I mainly wanna keep this gallery as easy to use as possible.

Apex Springs III [6 versions]
