November 2025 Patreon Exclusive Poll

Hey there, Wolfpack!

I'm finally coming out of my seasonal cold coma, and it's high time to get our poll going for this month's Patreon Exclusives.

I thought it would be fun to revisit a collection of previous month's runner-up prompts for us to choose from. These entries were all the second highest rated prompts from their respective months, so it's time for them to duke it out >:)

As usual, vote for multiple!

Now that I'm beginning to feel like a human again,...

Moontouched - Chapter 2 - Devlog #4

Awooo!
Hey there wolfpack,
I'm coming at you with another devlog for Moontouched. This time, I'll be touching in on the rough asset list, as well as the approximate timeline for getting everything painted up.

Stick around for a sneak peak at a finished background for Chapter 2 at the end of the video! It's not a spoiler!

For those of you who haven't got the time/interest in watching, I'll offer a brief summary of what I go over. In total, this first part...

Chapter Two Assets

Hey wolfpack!
I've got a question for you. During the development of Chapter One, I periodically shared in-progress and completed assets such as character sprites and backgrounds.

Are you interested in seeing WIP pieces of character/background design as I work through the new assets for Chapter Two?

I don't want to spoil anyone that's keen on going in completely blind, but I know there are some out there that enjoy these sneak peaks. Let me know your thoug...

Chapter Two - Part One Alpha Build is LIVE!

Hey wolkpack,
I'm so happy to say that the Alpha build for the first part of Noakai's chapter is finished! It's been a long time coming, so thank you greatly for your patience and dedication to the project. Totaling at just over 58,000 words, this entry marks just the first third of Noakai's total chapter, but I'm quite proud of how it sets up what's to come!

Please keep in mind that the Alpha build is comprised of the text alone! There are no new sprites, bgs, cgs, or musi...

Announcing Wolptober!

Awooo!
I thought it would be really fun to do a scaled back and more digestible creative challenge for our community to pick up for the month of October! Participating in Taran Fiddler's Weretober, both in making art for it and getting see what everyone else makes, is an absolute highlight of the spooky season. That said, it's so much fucking work do get all 30 out, and completely off the table for me while Moontouched is unfinished.

Thus, Wolptober! With only four prompts, one pe...

Awoooo! Happy (late) Corn Moon, Wolfpack!

Despite my best efforts, we're a few days late on this one. I used them well though! I had a lot of fun diving into the details with this piece. As I was working on it, a story formed around who these two lads are and what this meeting means to them. I was inspired to write up a little something to go along with the painting. A letter penned by the wolf to his then distant lover. I'm not super familiar with Old English, so please don't come for...

Moontouched - Chapter 2 - Devlog #3

A quick in-person devlog to update you guys on a change to the release plan for Chapter 2 of the project. I'll be releasing the first third of the game as it's own build before moving on to the remaining parts. This is due to a downward shift in my health over the past few months, and I go into some of the detail of that here in this video! Thank you for your time and support!

TLDR: I'm changing up the release scopes for Chapter 2 due to delays caused by ongoing health issues. Instead ...

Hey there wolfpack!
It's a new month, and with it comes a new moon. This month is the Corn Moon!
We've got a bit of a mixed bag with these prompts. Some strange ideas, some fun ones, and some more standard concepts that float through my head around these times.

As always, vote for multiple! Going to be ending this one on Friday to try and get it all painted up for Sunday's Full Moon.

I'm working on an update video for Moontouched along with a little treat! I'll hopefully ...

"April" Patreon Exclusive

Awoo!
I wanted to do something a bit more intimate and personal for our final make-up exclusive. I hope you enjoy the warmth of this little moment amidst the reeds and late summer sun. Let me know what you think of the tiger guy's piece. It went through a few iterations, hah.

I'll be putting out another devlog pretty soon here, so keep an eye out for that. I hope you guys have been doing well out there and staying fluffy and cool.

Finally finishing off the missing Patreon Exclusives!

Back in the first few months of this year, I decided to put a hold on Patreon Exclusives to focus on finishing off the first chapter of Moontouched. Since then, we've been slowly making up for lost time, and April is the last to go! So lets all pretend that it's spring again and vote for some spice!

Vote for multiple! The poll ends on Friday so I can paint over the weekend.

Hey wolfpack,
I've had my muzzle buried in the writing of Chapter 2 of Moontouched, and I'm happy to say that we're sitting around the 40k word mark with a good amount left to go, hah! While I've been really enjoying getting back into the writing side of things, I also miss hanging out and doing some art alongside you all.

So, I thought it would be fun to offer a stream of what will most likely be some of the mid-late rendering of this month's Patreon Exclusive. I'm aiming to have ...

Moontouched Chapter 2 Devlog - #2

Just a quick update on where the project is and where it's going!

A brief text summary:
The project is making headway, albeit at a slower pace than usual. My health has been in fairly poor shape since the launch of the CH1 public build, and it's having an effect on the development of Chapter 2. That said, I'm still working on it on a daily basis, so fear not!

I've officially decided to split Chapter 2 into two separate releases. Part One will feature Noakai's segment, with Pa...

June Patreon Exclusive - Harvest Ritual

"A centaur druid and his apprentice must make the yearly journey into the wooded mountains. They visit the shrine of the God of the Harvest. It’s no easy feat appeasing their deity, as they must imbibe aphrodisiac tonics and prove their bond by rutting and spilling seed for three days and nights."

Hey all,

Last full moon I dropped the exclusive with an invitation to do some writing for people who felt inspired to weave a story together for it. I've been slowly working my way through them, sipping away like the fine wine that they are, and it's been a really awesome experience.

Along those same lines, I want to do another collaborative Patreon Exclusive for this month! This time, you'll be submitting a prompt for me and I'll choose one to put to paint.
