Wolf - 2$ tier

Hey everyone! Hope you are all doing well with May rolling around now.
Finally all the green has returned in full force outside. Much nicer that way. :D

But in any case, we got the highres and wallpaper versions of Wolf in here. I hope you'll enjoy them!
In the coming days we'll get a little preview for the next Conway release. It'll be a small update this time around, but there are still some things to show! But some patience is required for that still.

And of course firs...

Nomax & Julian - 10$ tier

Hey everyone!
Hope you are all doing well with May rolling around now. Finally all the green has returned in full force outside. Much nicer that way. :D  

Aaand here as usual we've got the PSD files. The one from Nomax is exceptionally messy because i had to sort his stuff out and prepare him as a layered image as I talk about in the 5$ post. So, apologies for that, but yeah, coming a bit late to actually preparing the images to be layered, so of course it bites me back a litt...

Nomax & Julian - 5$ tier

Hey everyone!

Here you'll find progress shots for both the Nomax and Julian character portraits.

Additionally, you'll find some of the layers that are used in-game for Nomax.
Up until this point I've always just used a single image per variance (e.g. different expression), but yesterday I prepared Nomax to be the first character...

Conway Character Portrait - Julian

And 5/6 of the main ones are done! We've got Julian filling in the scalie quota. He is also the only one who isn't based on one species. It's mostly armadillo lizard, but then also just some fantasy lizard-esque stuff to make him a bit more visually interesting. Plus all the spikes of armadillo lizards probably wouldn't work very well with his clothing. Even the little fins on the arm are already a little bit annoying to account for.

He was good fun to paint and really quite happy wit...

Conway Character Portrait - Nomax

Self-insert character? It's my own game, I can do what I want! So of course he'll be one of the 6 main "dateable" characters because drawing him is fun! Honestly perhaps the most boring character? But maybe that's a good thing to have him be pretty simple and more of just a good times sort of character without too much of an urge to explore a character.
He's just there to be an idiot for the most part and get bonked. So that's nice!

Conway version 3 early access!


Hey hey everyone!

With a new month comes the next update for the Conway game! As mentioned before, this is a lighter update as this month focused on me working on other jobs. But we still got a few things here and there. Wolf got his proper graphics, we got some new UI for the game screen and just some little tweaks and fixes to the text.

So if you've played it before, there's unfortunately no new story to it, but I just didn't have the time to commit to that. Update 4 shoul...

Plans for May

Hey everyone!

So, April is over and with it my little "break" of sorts where I had to stock up a little bit of a budget again so that i can dedicate May fully to VN work again. So with that work sometimes being somewhat more obscure than just commission painting after commission painting I feel like it's a good idea to give you all a bit of an idea for what the plan is for May.

First off, this Patreon did see a decent amount of growth throughout april actually. About 10%, which...

Wolf & Teatime - 5$ tier

And we've got the second pack of the month. With me still being in money-earning mode this month we've got one oldie in here, Teatime from 2018 i believe!  

But some new stuff as well of course, with the step by steps for Wolf, and actually the nude version of him, too! Because why the heck not (and the clothes are all on one layer...so most progress that i actually still have is for the nude version)


Anyway though, enjoy and thank you very very much for your support. M...

Enjoy and thank you very very much for your support. May should hopefully be a VN-focused month again, so that should be good fun!

Conway v2 public release preview

With the public release of v2 of the game coming up, one of the most fun new bits is the new art in it! At long last there are some actually finished character portraits in it! And some additional expressions too. Rajeeyah doesn't quite have them yet as I just didn't manage to finish hers ahead of the deadline, but hey, at least she isn't that old black and white drawing from 10 years ago anymore!

She actually is the oldest character of the bunch, not like age but when she was first co...

Conway Character Portrait - Wolf

And another one ticked off! Wolf won the last poll so he was the next in line to get done.
I'm not quite sure if it's really the smartest way for me to go making a black character because they are always such a trouble to paint, but what the heck, he looks cool so i just have to live with the pain!

I hope you'll enjoy him as well!

Oiling out video

I thought that maybe for these videos it'd make sense to get a youtube channel set up for easier viewing... and of course the first video where i thought of it includes an 18+ painting among them... So we're doing the individual download again. 


You do need to have all files and then unzip the first one. Should unpack to the full video file.

Had another little opportunity here to shoot a video with the oil paintings. I honestly haven't had as much time as I wanted to do ...

April Plans

Hey everyone!

Hope you survived April Fools day? I wanted to have a bit of a sit down about what you might be interested in seeing for april.

As things stand I'm currently working on some NDA projects as I finally have to start building a bit of a buffer again that got drained by the VN, so can't really show any of that for the forseeable future.

So I figured to not just have this place be empty, how about we do give some older paintings the Patreon treatment. Going back ...

Conway version 2 Patreon Release

Hey everyone! Phew it is done!

Just on time too! Well, admittedly I didn't quite get everything done that I wanted to, but I'm learning that If I did try that I'd just end up never releasing any new updates until the very end. There's always SOMETHING. So it's probably best to just go until it's time to release it and then release it. It's an unfinished project after all and not every version is it's own polished release.

So, let's rundown what to expect from this one. View Post

Early Bird - Rajeeyah v2

There is a saying in art that you never go with the first try, and opening the initial design of Rajeeyah up after being away for a little bit, that feeling certainly rang true. And it was a double first time, the first time for the character, and also the first time for finding the style of the game itself.
So version 1 ended up not looking too off to actually be usable. So a redesign had to happen and here we are. Version two of the king cheetah!
At least the clothes I still liked and...

And in here we as usual got the PSD file for the Samuel scene!

In this one i finally feel like i figured out the colour dodge layers. They work so well when painting with greys rather than any sort of colour. Probably overdid it a little here, but that's how it goes when you figure out a new fancy thing. :D

Early Bird - Sam Scene 1

Ohno, do i now have to think of names for these scenes to make it not confusing when inevitably there will be more than one of the characters?

As if it isn't already difficult enough to find names for standalone pictures, but now names for these ones that are just pulled out of context as well?

Hmmmm... Anyway, couldn't have the v2 release happen without SOME big screen scene, right? And what better way than to open the count with some spice?

This one went by rather quic...

Conway Feedback box

Maybe not the most interesting Patreon post, tbh. But it's an idea I've wanted to try.
Since it's a solo project, the whole thing about getting feedback feels like the hardest to do.

So I've made a little feedback box specifically for the Conway game: https://forms.gle/9LJVSzcog9dwVQgs8

Got some friends of course who help along here and there, but I just can't bet on them not just being polite, and...

Conway - Build 2 sneak peek

Hey everyone!

It's always a bit tricky when you lay down the perks for Patreon, not quite knowing how they will actually work in the wild. So I've been just thinking a little bit of how to best do these sneak peaks for the 2$+ tier. What bits go in here? What do I post publically in the buildup to the new release? What do i keep private for the higher tiers?

With a lot of the work for this particular update being behind-the-scenes planning, and naturally writing will also always...

March/April character illustration vote

With Samuel done it's probably a good idea to get the next character vote going right away, so i can hop in when i feel like it.

In the attachments you'll find the character sketches for them in case you need some guidance. But yeah, one vote per person and let's see which one's next!

Ideally i'd like to get this one done in march truth be told, gotta build a good foundation quickly, but we'll see how the timing pans out.
