So the other day I hit 69 (nice) patrons pledged to the page and I wanted to make a little fun little illustration in celebration of this incredible number 😌 (there's a futanari alternative included as well).
I actually tried using a different brush for this lineart, and was experimenting with a technique where you blend the lineart in places and set the layer to multiply to get a neat, shaded effect on top of the colour layers. Really cool effect—takes forever to finish.
I also just really wanted to say thank you to everybody reading this though, because I'm not exaggerating when I say that you've all been instrumental in enabling me to continue doing the art thing. Prior to making the ortamaw alias I worked in a bookstore, and after losing that job in the pandemic and being unemployed for a while, I thought I'd roll the dice and see if I could do something with a hobby of mine. Right now art is my fulltime job, but I know for sure that if I was back working in a bookstore I really wouldn't have time to do any of this, so thank you all again for giving me the opportunity and your support ❤️

Yeah, I've been meaning to implement a Discord server for a while actually, I was just never sure if I'd be able to produce enough content in a short amount of time to keep an actual community engaged. I have a word doc file on my desktop with ideas for the future of the Patreon though and this is one of them (another is stickers :>)!
2021-10-04 10:16:03 +0000 UTCThe number of people supporting you is always going to grow too! A discord server to have your community all together would be cool! <3

2021-10-02 05:18:50 +0000 UTCShucks, thanks a lot Scorpius. Obviously the dream would be to have 100's of pledges so I can just sit and make art for you guys all day, but I'm genuinely just floored that there are as many people willing to support me as there are now :>
2021-10-02 03:09:56 +0000 UTCYou deserve more patrons your stuff is really great!
