Update // Marching on

Not me carrying on with the off-roading references but in a punny fashion.

You know, I’ve always been one of those people who denies having Seasonal Affective Disorder until one day the sun comes out and I find myself rolling around in the grass like a dog happy to acquaint their back with the smelliest patch in the garden. 

Seriously, two sunny days and I almost forgot computers existed, so I’d apologise for this update being unusually late but at the same time ...

The Empress - [ FFXIV Patreon reward ]

I've always wanted to have a go at making some sort of tarot card-inspired piece, and even though just the lineart for this one nearly took me out several times (like, for real - I had to redraw it twice over after throwing in the color because it was reading too busy), I am very pleased with the results.

Now to commit to never doing this again...

As always, your thoughts are loved!

Update// The road ahead (The future of this Patreon)

You know, for someone who barely drives, I sure use road-based metaphors a lot…

Welcome all to February. The good news is that, if you’re here, you made it through January - so give yourself a hearty pat on the back for that. The bad news is… well, we all had to trudge through the start of the year and all that meant.

I'll admit, it wasn’t my favourite of months. Newsfeed aside, as I pre-empted in my last update, I underwent two big dental procedures marking the f...

Revi - [ FFXIV Patreon reward ]

January is all about the ladies with a stare on them.

This is a partner piece to this one from 2021 (hence why the style is a little more simplified). It was genuinely fun to reference my own work, especially as the OG piece is one of my faves.

As always, your thoughts are loved!

Grace - [ FFXIV Patreon reward ]

I've been dying to do something Art Nouveau-ish for a while so this was honestly a blast to work on (yes, despite all the flowers, scales and filigree. At this point my pain is purely self-inflicted)

Update // Roading on

Happy new year, fellow survivors!

Somehow we made it another loop around the sun, albeit, personally, with one less loop around my belt.

I need to have a word with whoever said calories don’t count around Christmas…

How did you all fare last month? I, for one, found myself at the bottom of a rabbit hole in House Flipper - a game that makes cleaning windows and picking up trash so entertaining that I almost forgot the existential ennui that comes from neglecting ...

December WIPs

Nothing quite like entering a productivity frenzy to end the year on! Now the question is, how many of these will I be able to finish before 2025 rolls around?

On that note, I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year! Thank you all so much for being here for me and making this wonderful community one more year. It's an honor to be a part of it. <3

One day... one day I'll commit to not hamming a bunch of flowers into everything I draw.

Update// Ony got run over by a reindeer

My oh my, where ever has that year gone- we all ask, stunned by the revelation that we’re becoming those people who used to groan about the office Christmas party starting after 7pm while popping another werther's into their mouth.

Truth is it’s gone fast, scarily fast, so in a bid to let you all go back to putting up those decorations I swear we just took down let’s get this sleigh on the road.

Hollow - [ FFXIV Commission ]

Believe it or not, I still do art! I actually started this off before my foray overseas and was hoping to have it done before I flew out. Unfortunately, I overestimated my capacity to nail all that filigree as much as I did my capacity to remember how to draw after almost two weeks away.

Meaning this was a process - no less so by the fact that the file got corrupted at some point and I had to redraw most of it from scratch.

But, despite all its trials and tribulations, I'm excepti...

Update // Time is but confetti

You know how we did that funny little thing a few weeks back, in which we turned the clocks back and bamboozled our pets into asking for their food an hour early for the next two months? 

I somehow managed to get myself caught up in two of those - the first one, in the UK at the end of October and the second one in the US, at the start of November. Compound that with a hefty dose of jet leg and I’ll let you imagine what shape my sleep schedule is in.

So, first of all, my ap...

Can I help you...? - [ FFXIV Personal art ]

If the answer to that question isn't "Step on my neck until I say thank you", she doesn't wanna know.

I snuck this wee portrait of my FFXIV WoL thanks to all the Nap Tokens my very kindly patrons have bought on StarStickers over the last few months. While I may have not been physically sleeping, this was a very well needed artistic holiday to spend my creativity on myself for once.

October WIPs

I just realised that I went radio silent for the last few weeks, so here are the culprits - one very detailed piece and another (which will be larger - just censored at the minute because it's mildly spicy) which is pushing my understanding of anatomy and hair.

The should both be done within the next week or so, so please look forward to it!

Rejoice, my little ghouls, as we come into the hallowest of months, for not only do we celebrate the crack and groan of our weary bones as being seasonally appropriate but we also hereby mark the seventh anniversary of Onyrica’s Patreon.

Update// Gusts of change

Blessed September, most auspicious of months for heralding the last of the summer meltdowns and the advent of all things spooky, including - and this is the truest horror of them all - my birthday.

No less than 37 years ago, on a balmy Saturday eve west of the Autumn equinox, a compact ball of black hair and seething spite was unceremoniously catapulted into the planet, hellbent on finding a greater purpose.

Turns out that purpose would come to involve drawing copious amounts of c...

The Sorceress - [ FFXIV ]

Hats off, for the Queen is here.

I've been wanting to draw Y'shtola for ages (or redraw, really. I did create this monstrosity 6 years ago and hoboi how far we've come) and I also wanted to attempt to do so in a style that would lend itself to creating foiled prints.

August WIPs!

Here's all the pieces I'm currently working on, including: a long overdue piece of Y'shtola, a fanart reward of Shadowheart, a wee sketch of Estinien bestboi and an Umbox of a man and his fish.

Against my better judgement, I'm going to be designing both the Y'shtola and Shadowheart pieces to eventually become foiled prints. Feel free to note this day as as the one where I set out to do this with a chest-full of optimism, just so you can remind me when I inevitably succumb to the printer...

Update// 2024 Onympics

Before we get on with this month’s agenda, let’s ponder the Olympics for a moment and their gross negligence to include the highest-risk sport of them all:

Leaving your house

Not only are you exposed to the inclemencies of the weather, tested on your ability to show restraint over the people invading your personal space or judged on the limits of your overstimulation, but you’ll also be a made a clear target for every germ and virus in shooting range.
