My bad. Forgot to pause pledges. Issuing refunds

You should see them in about a week. If you don't, please let me know Sorry about the mess. When I get the content done that I was going to before, I will collect and then will send out the rewards.

But in case you want to see what I'm up to, look me up on Whatnot under ARTBOYMOY.

Pausing billing again for September.

I made a fair amount of progress on the Power Patron pieces but there's just some stuff that I know can be pushed a little further on them with lighting and what not.  Rogue is coming along and I have yet to progress on Mirko.  So I'm pausing the billing for September and hopefully will have the content done to publish and charge on October 1st.

Sorry it's taking a while.  My focus has been divided in a number of directions this summer and I have a few shows in September ...

Patreon Page on hold through August...

I was busy doing some game stuff but now that stuff is done and I should be able to get back to making progress on April's pieces...

That being said, I've been doing more Whatnot live shows and have been doing well with it, so that's taking a bit more of my time.  I suggest if you're interested in watching me feel free to sign up for Whatnot.  I've been doing original sketchcard commissions as well as large sketchcover commissions.

Busy! Busy! Pausing the page for another month.

You will notice that I have paused the page once again.  April, or is it May's content will still be worked on when I get some more time.  When I get closer to getting those pieces done, I will resume the billing and if you like the work created for that, you can join in and get those digital rewards.

What have I been up to?  Bike riding?  Not as much as I'd like.  I've been working for a couple video game companies doing some concepts and one job is now done, w...

April 2023 WIP Round 2

Still working on the pieces.  I'm going to actually put collecting payment for May on hold for the month of June as well, because the pieces just aren't far along to justify that they're going to get done soon.  Still working with a couple game companies on concept and messing around with Whatnot.

UPDATE:  Andromeda and the Dark Fairy sketchcard are claimed!

While I was at Hilton Head on vacation, I worked on getting more used to working with color Copic markers and finishing a number of busts that I had rough penciled and tried out some new pens.  The busts are here at $80 a piece for you patrons and the color sketchcards are $20 a piece.  The only pieces not available now are the first Magik Bust, Wovlerine and Ahsoka.  I'm going to ...

WIP for April 2023 N1 and N2

UPDATE:  Added Power Pateron roughs for Bunnyx and Tinkerbell which will be N3 level but I'm going to make a N1 print so I'll post it here... and also Talia Al Ghul!

I'm actually still working on February's content so I may pause the collection for April and shift it to the end of May to collect the pledges.  That way people can get more of a sense of what the month will hold.  So here we have Mirko, which I'm pretty happy with and Rogue which I think may need a bit more ...

April 2023 Poll Winners: Rogue and Mirko!

For April's content we will have pinups of Rogue and Mirko!  It was a pretty close match between the characters.

April 2023 Character Poll

I'm still working on February's content but feel I'll be able to get some work done in April.  So for April's characters, I'm running this poll a little different.  There will be one winner from the top row and one winner from the bottom row. So feel free to vote for any character that you'd like to see and keep in mind the rule for this poll.

Art Drop for Patrons

Here's something new that I wanted to do for patrons.  At shows when I'm just sitting around I work on doing some busts of characters.  These pen and ink drawings are like the ones you can get for the original art commission tier.  I usually work on them more when I get home, but before they go into the book, I'd like to give you the opportunity to purchase one.  Time is short on this one, as I'll be at Planet Comicon this weekend, but if you let me know before March 17th,...

I have two freelance video game concepting gigs coming up...

And some conventions like Mighty Con Madison, Sunday March 12th and Planet Comic Con the weekend after that.  REMINDER:  If you're a current pledged patron, you can get a free print from me at shows.

Once April comes around I'll see where I stand and will decide on that month.

For those that pledged in February, you will get messages regarding yo...

March 2023 character poll discussion

This month really snuck up on me.  What are some themes or ideas we could explore before I make up the March Character Poll?

Things may be getting busy for me with some concepting work for multiple game companies coming down the line so I'll do my best with keeping things rolling!

WIP for February N4 pieces

UPDATE:  New WIP images added.  Close on the Power Patrons, just need to figure out something for the background.  Still need to work out a Spidey MJ pose.

I have the Power Patron's pieces humming along but still need to get going on the Supergirl/Batgirl and Spidey/MJ pieces.  I'll update this post as I get them moving along.

WIP for N1 Spidey and MJ and Batgirl and Supergirl

UPDATE:  Lighting and modeling mostly done on the main figures.  Background needed to be worked on.

Here are the roughs for the Nice pieces for Spidey and MJ and Supergirl and Batgirl.  Wanted to try something a little bit different for the MJ piece and do something cute for Supergirl and Batgirl.

February 2023 Character Poll Winners

Taking the top spot was Supergirl and Batgirl with a commanding lead, but then there was a tie between Spidey / Mary Jane and Vi / Caitlyn from Arcane.  Although my favorite between the two were the ladies, I'm challenging myself to create a great Spidey/MJ image.

Both couples will get the N level treatments and I hope you join to watch the pieces come together and stick around to get the rewards for pledging!

February 2023 Character Poll Discussion

Okay, so Happy Lunar and regular New Year to everyone.  I'm getting the itch to get back into it.  I haven't decided what I'm going to change for my Patreon still so let's maybe keep it going or if you have ideas on ways I could change the poll then I would like to hear it.  Should I have separate polls for SFW and NSFW catagories? Should I keep it as is, but you top winner is from patrons and then I get to pick the other winner?  Should I do more months where I get to pic...

October 2022 N3 and N4 pinup previews

Update:  Pieces are done now and I just need to start making variants and putting the packages together. 

I'm just starting to get into the Goblin Queen N4 piece, but it's gonna take me a bit of time as it's pretty complex like the Zatanna one is.  But since these are pretty much done, I figure I should post them to show I'm still working on them.  Velma was pretty easy in comparison.  :)

Well... This was unexpected...

I got Covid this week.  Felt kinda crappy and took a test and sure enough.  So I'm taking the week to rest up and so far it hasn't affected my breathing or made me have coughing fits.  It seems to like to fill my head and stuff my sinuses and ears.  So I've lost the taste and smell senses and makes eating really disappointing.

I'll be back at it when I am feeling up to it, so please bear with me.  

Thank you!
