Above Stormy Seas - [ FFXIV ]
The original title of this was "accidental Bismarck flying over Norvrandt and down into the Tempest", because the truth is this started off as blobs of paint intended for a texture.
I guess I've taken the rorschach test to the next level? Either way, have a surprise gouache painting!

In which I draw a metric ton of emoji. Art feedback starts at 1:57.
2020-01-20 11:19:18 +0000 UTC View PostThe Emperor - [ Solus zos Galvus, FFXIV ]
This started off as a dumb sketch to warm up my hand and it escalated until my obsession with his eye bags somehow felt justified.
Anyway, surprise Patreon piece! Do let me know what you think =)

Happy new year my lovelies! I hope you're all slowly making your way out of your Xmas food comas and winning the fight against the January ennui.
As I tackle this year from behind a pile of commissions and rewards for you lot, I am also looking to improve the way I handle my online comms and marketing. I don't want to spend more time on social media than actively working on rewards, so to that end, I need you all to be my consultants to give me a better sense of where and how to focus m...

This was a leftover from my October Twitter giveaway. I haven't had a chance to draw a lizard girl in quite a while so this was really fun!
In other news, I have 8-9 bust rewards coming in in January. Would you guys prefer single posts like this one or shall I upload them in a bulk post once they're all done? Let me know so that I don't needlessly spam your inboxes!

And here's my last piece of the year! Been trying to cram in as much work as possible these last few days to feel like I accomplished something in 2019
I hope everyone has a lovely start to 2020!
2019-12-31 15:49:32 +0000 UTC View PostBeauregard - [ Critical Role, Loyalty reward ]
As requested by the ever lovely Pundawan (aka, Cinnapun or KiwiPun or Mother of Puns or...) for her Adv loyalty reward.
I'm not a huge CR follower, but I do love this character and it was such a joy to draw her. I also wanted to do something a little different, so using her level 10 portrait as a ref, I decided to let her hair down. Still kept the shit-eating smirk though.
2019-12-30 10:38:01 +0000 UTC View PostMilestones - [ Commission ]
This was such a wonderful piece to work on for so many reasons and I'm incredibly honored to have been given the chance to make it.
The illustration commemorates the five-year cancer-free milestone of Cub - a leukemia survivor. Cub was diagnosed when he was very little and spent more than 2 years undergoing treatment at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
I remember crying my eyes out when I was first asked to work on this and shown all the pictures and video I'd be using for r...

The most rare and mythical Final Fantasy XIV creature: a female roegadyn! BEHOLD for she exists.
2019-12-12 11:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAlice - [ FFXIV, Commission ]
Drawing the tattoos on this girl was way overdue. It was also way challenging, but I think they turned out pretty neat!
Please do not attempt to tattoo this onto your chest in real life.
2019-12-10 11:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostSolace - [ FFXIV Commission ]
A #FinalFantasyXIV piece for my sweet friend (and patron!) Ithil, of their WoL and Y'shtola.
I have so much to say about this piece that it would probably warrant its own post and full length featurette.
The brief is that it was a huge challenge - the kind that makes you realise where your skills cap after months of thinking you've finally got your shit together as an...

I loved drawing this pretty highlander and all that haaaaaaair... =]__

Onyrica streams: 30 September, 2019 (Drawing and emoji session)
Fiiiiiiiiiiinally catching up to my upload backlog, so my apologies for taking so long to upload the last few streams! There are 3 more currently uploading (Oct 1, 17 and Nov 8) so expect to see those crop up in the next few days!
Purple Witch
A piece i just finished for the winner of my twitter giveaway! Also, one of the rare few color pieces I've had a chance to finish lately.
The Patreon reward bundles for October will go out shortly - I just wanted to get this one out first so that there would be some color in the pack.
Am I overthinking this? You bet I am!

Something a little different for me - a male highlander! Who knew they actually exist?
Really enjoyed working on this one. Now, onto the rest of my list!
2019-11-09 16:10:49 +0000 UTC View PostMorgan Olivey - [ FFXIV, Loyalty Reward ]
I had a blast drawing this character. Originally I had planned a different head angle, but since I wanted him to come across as being aloof, I decided to torture myself instead with an upwards tilt.
Because I like pain. ಠ_ಠ

I've been getting through so many of these little guys lately I keep forgetting to post them! So here, have a bundle post with all of them.
I love drawing chibies, because it gives me a chance to explore complex designs and vibrant colors in a minimalist setting. It's just really fun. Plus, c'mon, lookit those button eyes. Lookit them.

Generally I enjoy drawing most things, but some pieces just "click" and this was totally one of them. Loved drawing this girl.

As I mentioned in a post a while back, I've opened a new channel in my Discord where all patrons can dump images of their favourite characters (whether it's FFXIV or fandom) and I might pick them up for my warm-up sketch routine!
Here are a few of the ones I've picked up so far. =)

I haven’t really commited to doing Inktober, but I started this piece on day 4 (prompt was “Freeze”) and three days and a botched inkjob later, here we are!
Thank you to the patreon supporters who let me borrow their characters for my experiments.
Want to lend yours as well? Drop them in the Patreon Discord!
(Or, if you're not a patron yet then... well, become one!)

Sometimes you just can't let go of a piece and then you accidentally a slider and a Yoshitaka Amano piece happens.

"You've no fight left to fight, no life left to live..."
The finished version of this piece I posted quite a while back. And as it's Inktober after all, which is suits Emet's sleepy-eyed, long-suffering glare just perfectly.
Man, I am so not over this angst yet...

Did you know that all of my WIPs, ideas, pictures of old drawings and plans for the future always appear on the Artroom discord first?
Better yet - I've just opened up a new "Reference" channel where you get to dump anything you might ever want drawn (your MMO avatars, favourite NPC characters, ideas, styles) for me to use as a base for my warm-up sketches or brainstorming sessions.
It basically just means you might end up with a little surprise in your DMs every now and the...

My very first bun-lady (formerly a cat lady)! It was as much a challenge as it was a joy to work on this.

My very first whale drawing! Never thought that's something I'd be saying, but alas - trust you lot to give me a run for my money. All be said, I loved every second of working on this.

Hythlodaeus [ FFXIV ]
After reading the latest Tales from the Shadows, one of my patrons suggested we should all draw our version of Emet's bff and resident troll, Hythlodaeus (you can believe I have that name macroed to ctrl+V).
So, here's my version! I challenge all my artlings to do the same!
