Sketchbook- April 2021

Placeholder preview!

so its been a rotten month, I feel quite guilty for not spending time to make up more pages before posting- but having this sketchbook overdue is a weight on my mind, and I really want to move onto the next month feeling fresh :')! 

Sorry for the less than shiny content two months in a row, here's to a disaster free May <3

hoo boy I suffered on this page, eventually made a sims model of the shop to get that middle panel right!

I feel like drawing a charity shop is on a similar level to library. dont do it. dont. 

I should have learned from the supermarket.

Small delay update

Hey! We had to take Josie (our cat) into the emergency vet on monday night, and they're still not sure what caused the issues, she's going to the vet again tomorrow. As expected, my focus is not great. I might not get pages out this week (or maybe there'll just be one!) I think I'm going to focus a bit more on personal sketches and stuff to keep my stress down, and I'll have the sketchbook out next week sometime! 


-- More cat vet detail for folks interested--med...

Sketchbook- March 2021

Because of my wrists I did a lot of teeny tiny sketches, so it's quite a small one, though I hope you enjoy it anyway! (also a lot of me being very dramatic about my back and wrists. I'm ok now... should probably work on tying mental wellness to Creating, though.)

I wasn't sure if people would remember what Julien was thinking about, so I changed that middle panel!

(last page said 'I did something really fucking stupid')

Hello again! Thanks for your patience, understanding and well wishes <3 I'm still not 100% back to normal so things will be a little slower, but that will *probably* mostly affect the hermit and hiker- which is all background work anyway :P. I usually spend 2-3 days a week on CC and the rest working on H &H! I've reached over halfway in the thumbnails though, so with any luck I'll start this year XD.

See the $1 tier for a small break announcement!

View Post

Charity Case Ch7:Pg19 +small break info

hey all! I've been fending off wrist pain for a few weeks now- but its not going away while I'm still using them each day, so I'm gonna take a small break (like a week) to properly rest them, I'll be back soon! I'm so sorry, I hate having to do this, but I want to make sure I can work till I'm old and grey, and not crumble into dust when I hit 35 :P!

The $1+ $5 tiers will still get a sketchbook at the start of the month, but it will be smaller, as I've not had much stamina for anything ...

*both* my wrists have been angry at me these last couple of weeks- and this background copy paste is saving my ass haha

I've been sewing as a non-art hobby recently- because generally it's good for me, less repetitive small movements (on a sewing machine) and lots of varied elements to it, but I did a *lot* of cutting and pressing one day and both my wrists were like 'are we going to put up with this treatment?' 'Nay!'
