Early Bird - Airlea Comm

As so often haven't gotten final confirmation yet for this one, so might slightly change between this and the final. But as today is upload date for the bigger pack i wanted to get this one out the door to include it later.

Somewhat of a character ref-ish thing for Airlea who had a new character in mind and wanted me to figure her out. Not a traditional ref because it's not really what i do well and also because Airlea didn't want it to be.

November Sketch poll

Oops, forgot that these poll things always go out on the 5th. 5th...7th... basically same thing.

This time around i'm feeling something with Nomax in it, so let's go with some of those suggestions this time around.

Little bit shorter runtime as it still ends on the 10th, but i'm sure you all will manage to get a vote in.

WIP - 1

Hey everyone!
Deciding to try a little change here, where rather than doing the "upcoming paintings" section in the bigger content packs i'm thinking maybe i should just toss some WIP things on here as i go along with the picture?

It's honestly always a weird balance to find with how often i should post things here.  Like i don't want to do too little, but also not too much for fear of these notifications you're getting appearing annoying... it's weird.

But i guess may...

Commission done for our very own JhWolf, thank you very much :)

Some more cyberpunk stuff today as jhwolf wanted something in that direction.  Didn't go with some of the more punk ideas but we settled on something more stylistically interesting probably. Enjoooooy!

Sketch with Rory

Another quick sketch of my attempts to just have some more art related fun with the friends I managed to find through this whole furry thing.
Rory is more active in the music scene rather than the visual arts, so instead of a collab it's just a sketch made all by myself.

Enjoy!

Early Bird - Assistance

Commissioned by Vpaws and not yet given the final OK, so could potentially still have adjustments between this and the final public version. But since the second pack of the month will be releasing later today i wanted to get this one out ahead of time.

Enjoy :)

Pumpkin Spiced Sqqrrrl

The vote sketch for this month! Of course they were all halloween themed and the dorky squirrel in a pumpkin won the vote!

So enjoy them totally not being trapped at all, and they swear that they can get out at any time they wish. :)

Brushes & Brush videos v2

Been a few months since i released the brushes and the videos to go alongside with it and i felt it is the right time to iron out some of my own annoyances with it and what people mentioned could have been done better.

This is by no means a vital upgrade. I deleted two brushes from it that i just never actually use and added 3 new ones. They also all are named now and get referenced by name in the videos to make it easier to know which one i'm talking about. Did also split the video in...

Freefall & Cargo Hatch - 10$ tier

G'day everyone!  Hope this finds you all well. Man over here the very late summer ended up arriving again. Currently writing this with a t-shirt as it's been hitting mid to high 10s with plenty sunshine. Not complaining mind you, especially not in a year where apparently the less heating and electricity is needed the better. So it's the one time where i'll just gladly let the climate do whatever weird shit it gets up to nowadays.   

Anyway, got the weather out of the way...

EarlyBird - Cargo Hatch

Commission made for CrazyDave5, thank you!
I haven't yet had the final OK, so might still have a little last adjustment here and there between this and the public version if there is something requested.

Fun commission to work on, got a picture that he wanted to base it on, so used parts of that where possible especially for the airplane bits. It's always a fun challange to do these photo based pictures as the camera always leaves something to be desired, and especially in this case...

Early Bird - Freefall

No commission this time, just a painting for fun. Nothing more nothing less.

Had so many sketches kinda disappear into the aether recently with many of the ones you saw in the last stuff pack, starting paintings but then not quite managing to pull them off that i simply couldn't leave it be. Something had to be finished and this idea ended up being it.
Hope you enjoy it too!

October Sketch vote

It is spoooooooky season~ Ooooohhhhh, and you know what that means, right?
Spoooohooooooky sketches....Maybe...
There actually is just one sketch suggestion that mentions anything halloween-y, so the other sketch suggestion simply are regular ones that have been spooooooooooohooookyfied!

Hopefully there is something that sounds fittingly spoooooooooooooohoooooooooookylicious for you!

Monthly voted sketch

Heyhey everyone.
We got out sketch for this month. Another one i'm feeling a little clumsy about,  i don't quite know what it is with these sketches currently. It's probably a case where i want too much for them to be something and then i'm just stressing too much and ending up painting them with too much pressure... Rather than letting them be the looser affairs that they should be and which is what they're best at.

But then again, that's always part of the whole artist thing,...

Hope you are having a good day, enjoying the weekend or whatever day it is when you're reading this.  Here we've got step by steps and sketches and all that good stuff for those two paintings, and we also got the upcoming painting teaser of course.

Aside from that we also got something potentially interesting. Some abandoned paintings! Just had a lot of them in the past few days, so they were chucked in here and i also included some older ones from years ...

Early Commission opening

Hey y'all.

Next round of commissions opening again and so you're getting early dibs on them.

As always, this doesn't mean that your commission idea will be picked with 100% certainty, just so that you've got a bit of an easier time sorting your thoughts to submit.
Other than that, pretty simple to apply for one. Just fill out the form that's linked below and i will sort through them once the public opening closes as well in a few days.
I'll get back to you via e-mail once...

Early Bird - Mikka Portrait

And another portrait. Told ya this run of commissions had a lot of them!
This time for Nymerasnowcat of their character Mikka. This one right in my element pretty much, so it was smooth sailing and quite the treat working on it. Good fun. :)
Very happy with how some of the fabric turned out and the folds and stuffs.

Hope you'll enjoy the picture as well

Early Bird - Crimson

Hello everyone, just got this hot off the presses. Picture commisioned by Pinseohrkater of his character doing a bit of the good ol' knifey stabby.

Really fun picture in the end. It did protest some along the way, but a little break away from it over the weekend cleared up what needed to be adjusted and from then on it was smooth sailing. So i'm pretty happy with that. Pretty much was the problem that i usually tend to do where i just overdetail everything, especially with too much val...

Chained, Shallow Sea, Wolf and Doe, S'hib Portrait - 2$ tier

Hey everyone. Having skipped the last pack this one is predictably chonkier. We got highres and wallpaper versions for all those pictures available. So if you just really feel like being the weirdo on the subway, then you can now use the "chained" picture as you lockscreen.
Because chained....lockscreen... ah the jokes really write themselves!
The vertical crop of shallow sea does actually look really neat though.

And of course we also got the september 10% print discount : Q585...

Glee Portrait, Valmont Portrait, Wolf and Doe - 5$ tier

Hey everyone. Having skipped the last pack we are back to normal proceedings and so in here you'll find step by steps and sketches and all that stuff for those 3 paintings.
With the Valmont portrait something messed up along the way and i couldn't snapshot the early steps of it. I assume it is because i was experimenting with some crops and scaling back and forth that just aranged the layers all weirdly. But yeah, still has some of the steps in there so it should still be interesting.

Watercolour Wednesday, 7th of September 2022

Hey everyone.
I've picked up my watercolours again after not having touched them for half a year or more (no wonder i keep complaining about not being happy with what i produce with them) and so i figured let's try to give them their own thing.
Usually i just plopped them into the bi-monthly packs, but maybe giving them their own little corner will be fun. So Watercolour Wednesday it is!

This will probably be a fortnightly thing or something where i just plop down the watercolou...

Portrait commission for.....drumroll please, Valmont! Who could have ever guessed? Big thank you to them though. :)

And the second one that was being mean to me, so hopefully the next pictures will go a bit smoother. Not quite sure why, because portraits rarely should be...but every now and then things just are rocky and i need to spend a bunch of time until i get it to a point i'm okay with.

Hope you enjoy it though to make it worth it at least :'D

Oh shoot, i thought i was a day late for this, but checking the date now it is the 5th today! Only took until 17 o clock to notice...
I hope you've had a good start to september, I feel the point where summer is officially over and we'll be prepping for fall now. Hopefully no more blazing days (though there are some forest fires that started up relatively- but not threateningly nearby...so yay.)

But in any case, vote options! All pretty straightforward really, lots of blobbiness inv...
