I've been trying to think of a print I wanted to work on for this month, and have been sitting on this sketch for a while now. Since spring is finally here, I thought it might be a good chance to finally get to it. :D
(For those unaware, its a Pokemon called Gloom. ^^)
I'm still not super confident with watercolors, but I'm going to try my hand at it. :) I'm not impressed w...

I had some issues with the video of these, so apologies for the quality!
Apparently OBS defaulted and saved the files in a format that Premiere Pro doesn't support.. so I had to do some converting a couple times. It lost a lot of the quality and there was some artifacts at the bottom of the screen that I had to try and crop out. I'm in the process of converting all the other files, so hopefully I'll have more videos soon.
I wish I had recording the sketching.. but I didn't re...

I'll be working on putting them in frames soon! I want to get in the order for the acrylic versions next week. :)
Ideally, I'll have badge orders open by Mid May for the public. Aiming to do about 30 slots total (if I even get that many orders!) but those of you here on Patreon don't count towards that cap. I'll have a separate sign up sheet for badges for you guys like I've done in the past few years. <3
Digital file packs and new coupon codes will go out shortly! I'll also be ...

Rough draft of the sketches so far! I'll be streaming over the weekend and finishing each one. :) I'll try to announce it on Discord and twitter before I do, but will most likely be in the evenings.

I ended up pulling a few more names, just because there were so many of you and I'm just really excited to get to working on these. ;)
The winners are....
Cuppcaake
Yenna
Xederya
Cyilla
Vehngence
Chii
Sarah Randle
Congratulations guys!
I will be printing and laminating each one, but I'll be making some of them into special upgrades. ^.^ I'm not sure who will get what, but I want to try and make a variety of examples. (I'm mostl...

I meant to do something a little more.. sinister and a full painting, but it just didn't come out that way. Lack of time mostly.. but this was fun and I got to play with a few new brushes and textures. :) I might revisit her again later and do a bigger painting if I get time.
Also..
Patreon print&sticker tiers will be slightly delayed this month due to the prints. They'll be shipp...

I finished this over the weekend, but wanted to wait and post this the day she was live! I'm so excited for her you guys. <3
ALSO
I have picked the winners for the Chibi badges, and I'll announce those soon! I actually ended up picking 6 instead of 3.. just because you all are so cool and I wanted to do more. :)

I need to do a few more examples for my badges this season, so I figured I'd do a mini giveaway! :)
Ideally, I'll try to pick one horde, one alliance, and one non WoW related character. So 3 winners total. Each will be made into a physical badge and or keychain.
Winners will be picked on Monday night! This is open to all current Patrons.
All done! :)
The Faerie Dragon design ended in a tie.. so I made the decision to go ahead with design A. I felt it looked more like a faerie dragon, plus I was worried that the other design may have more defects due to it being twice as complicated.
(I shared a lot of progress on these in Discord! https://discord.gg/UfvQBhR If you haven't joined in on it yet, feel free to join us! I'm going to try and post more sketches a...
2018-03-17 00:39:34 +0000 UTC View PostEDIT: I made a couple updates to the designs. :)
Which design would you guys prefer? I may make some additional tweaks to it afterwards, but I'd love to hear everyone's opinions. :) (I'm personally a tiny bit more partial to A. ^^)
I really wanted to try and finish this before I had to leave.. but this is as far as I got. I've been having trouble finding a lot of time to just sit and draw since I have so many other things to do. I might put it on my iPad and see if I can finish it over the weekend if there is a lull at my table.
The Pin Club has spoken!
April and May's pins will be an Alexstrasza chibi and a Faerie Dragon. :) I'll be working on sketching out both over the we...

I had to do it. :P Hopefully I can get this done soon, I really want to get on PTR and check out her armor a bit more and maybe get some games in to test her out. ^.^
Ideally I'd like to get this done as a mini print, an Azshara painting and maaaybe a mini animal crossing print to go with the pin of the month for March. :)

First off though, thank you to all the new patrons that have joined recently! I really appreciate all of your support - and I'm going to work hard to try and make it worthwhile. I'll have some new content out soon hopefully!
For the rest of this month, I plan on focusing on packaging and prepping for my convention in March....

Requested by Feynix! This turned into a little more than a sketch - but I've been wanting to build up more non WoW prints for a while and I felt this might be a good one. :)
Thanks for suggesting it! For those of you in the $5 + tiers, feel free to get your suggestions in! (https://goo.gl/forms/3i3YX01nF6ostuUZ2)

Little sketch before bed of my Nightborne mage I've been leveling in my free time! :) I'm not really sure what to name her officially - but I'm having fun playing her! Probably something that starts with a "V" because most of my characters seem to have that going on. :P

Feynix requested a while back that I draw a Suicide Squad Harley - and I thought it would make a cute print for the Comic and Toy con I'm going to next month. :)
I attempted to stream a little of this earlier today, but I was struggling. I'm in the process of trying to ditch Paint Tool Sai from my tool rotation, and I'm not having fun trying to ink things in Photoshop. :P
I also honestly wasn't loving my sketch - so I scrapped it and decided to go for a more cartoony / cute style. ...

Hey guys! Just a heads up I'm going to -try- and livestream in the afternoon around 1-2pm EST. :) Come join! I'll be working on some con prep stuff as well as a Patreon request, but I might play a little of the alpha beforehand.

I did a little bit of tweaking to the art! The initial design had a few spots that were just a bit too small and I was worried they may not do well.
I also decided to make it 3 colors, instead of 4.. since an additional glitter color would have made it be more expensive. ^^ I'm waiting to hear back from my manufacturer with an actual quote. I think they're getting ready to go on vacation for Chinese New Year, so it may be a while before this gets into production.
Going to be working on a...

Trying to keep the style consistent with the others! Hopefully I'll be able to finish a few more characters soon.
Which ones would you guys like to see? (I've done Mercy, Sombra, Mei and Moira recently in this style.)

An Elekk plushie! I previous showed this off a bit, but February is getting another gear store inspired love with this cute little pin. :)
January's Murloc Mug pin
If you missed out on this pin or would like to order additional pins, please fill out this form and I will send you an invoice. Pins are $10 each, and Shipping is $3 for US and $6 for International. Your Patreon discount codes also apply to this. :)
I streamed this a bit last night :) If you missed it, you can catch the vod here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/223470729
I'm planning to make this pin silver, with a very limited color palette and glitter. :) I did a mini mock up of it digitally that you can see here, but I'm sure it will look a lot better in person. :P
Some of these may have been from the end of December too, but I can't remember. Just a lot of thumbnails and sketches of things I'd like to actually finish one day. :)

Finally done! This took a bit longer than it should have, but I wanted to try and paint something fully in Photoshop for once. I generally use Paint Tool Sai for most of my work, so this was a bit of a challenge! It took me a while to adjust, and its not perfect, but I'm happy with it for now.
The PSD file for this as well as the photoshop brushes I used, will be included with this month's Patreon digital pack. :) Prints of this will be included for February mail tiers.
Thank's Jes...

Thank you guys so much!
I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting to hit this goal so fast! Its been a little overwhelming (like, a GOOD overwhelm!) and I can't wait to move forward and share things with you all.
Since we hit the 100 Patreon goal (which is actually at 102 right now!), I'll be creating an enamel pin and ship one to each of you for free!
I ended up doing a few more chibi heads! One for Zora of her druid, and my hunter!
Also.. some sketches!
Starting to think about Blizzcon badges again this year a little, and while I said I wasn't going to do them again in 2018.. I really want to go again! The money from badges in previous years was always used to help pay for my travel expenses, and I might need a bi...

She's sketched out for the most part! I need to clean it up a bit and work on the background. Going to try and work on this for the most part of this weekend if I can. :)
I expect this one might take me a while to do, but that's okay! I'm going to be trying to paint it in Photoshop only, instead of relying on Sai so much. So we'll see how this goes.
