What to expect for the upcoming month!

 Hey everyone!!

 I wanted to talk a bit more on what I've been planing to start doing this September.

 Starting this month, I'll start doing prep work for a possible....webcomic project?! I really want it to happen, and I'll start the prep work and some concept exploration for it. Me playing with 3D on our last post decidedly was inspired by how people skillfully use that technique in the medium!

 Most of the time when I'm not invested on doing a personal...

August Pin-up - Gordie, The hard-rock crusher!

 Hey everyone!!

 Here's the pin-up for this month! Gordie was such a fun character to draw!! 

 As I always try to do over here on patreon, I try to use suggestions and projects as means to try new things and develop as an artist. I don't know if it pays off as improvement, but I'm trying my best!

 That said, for the first time I'm considering using 3D to help with my work! I actually have done and do studies with perspective, but it's a subject I do ...

Star warrior kirby! ⭐

 Did another piece of the gachimuchi kirby I've designed some time ago! When I post him over twitter I always have to say it's the "star warrior" or other variations though - the first time I did it with "kirby" my tweet just disappeared! I never had this issue before, and never had it again with any other topic. Scary right???

 Also I'm thinking on making more sparse art posts. Usually I've been letting it build up to post a full fat artpack but hone...

Persona 5 related sideproject 02

 I did another character for this side project that I've been doing to chill! 

  The trope I wanted for him was the public university student - a social justice engaged character! Here in Brazil we have public universities, and they're super good! You need to go through tests or programs to enter in them though. I myself graduated in one, and never had to worry about student loans and stuff like you guys do in the US <:

 His persona is based on a 2020-08-19 16:23:27 +0000 UTC View Post

August Patreon Poll pick! ✰✰✰

 With 33% of the votes the winner of this poll is Gordie, from Pokémon Sword/Shield! I myself picked shield, so I actually didn't have the opportunity to see Gordie in all his glory. But I've seen game footage of him and he's such a cool characteeeer.... I also love that he has a shuckle...

 I really didn't know he was that popular! - I actually got more than one suggestions of him.

 I'm thinking of a very fun composition for this pin-up!! For a li...

Dark world link!

  I posted some older zelda art over my twitter this week and felt inspired to draw a piece! The iconic moment you go in the dark world for the first time, and your appearance.... has changed?!

 Also I wonder - I usually let my work pile up to post here as an artpack, but I wonder if you would like more individual posts for the pieces I do? Sometimes I'm not on a productive mood, doing commissioned artwork or I'm focusing on studies, so I end up making le...

Training sessions 20 - legs, legs, legs

I've been on a groove of figuring legs better so I can achieve better looking ones!!

 The anatomic rhythm of the leg is very important, if you get it wrong you get that uncanny feeling the character isn't grounded or worse, that the body gesture doesn't have a foundation/structure. 

 The training I did for these mixed photo studies and actual literature on legs.

 I also scribbled on my lil sketchbook, sometimes when my head is wired I try to scribble it o...

August Patreon Pin-up poll!✰

Today is the 7th so you know what that means!! 

The suggestions are closed and now we have our contenders for this month's pin up. It'll be open until the 15th! From then on I have until the end of the month to work on the pin-up. 

 I had less suggestions than last month, so I really wanted to communicate that whenever it's open, please feel free and comfortable to suggest your favorite hunk or character!! I don't mind it and honestly it's very fun to have your inpu...

Persona 5 related sideproject!!

 Oh gosh!! I think this is the first time I'm posting and creating a creative self indulgent project like this! Usually I take in consideration that people (including me) likes really handsome cute dudes, but I'm allowing myself to expand my creative horizon in my main platforms!!!! I always held some ideas off it because I thought I'd have negative reactions. I wonder if people and you all would be ok with it?

 This is a Persona 5 reimagined series in a brazilian setting LOL<...

Fizzy elementals origin lore comic

 What a mouthful title, hehe!

 Fizzy elementals are a species I created some time ago! I even use one as a profile picture :D I've been thinking a lot about it and how it had an old unfinished origin comic around. I've been seriously considering starting a webcomic and decided to give a retake and this time, actually finish it!!! cause now I'm a person that finishes their stuff!!!!!

 Here's the old ones for comparison!

August Patreon Pin-up suggestions ends on the 7th!

 Hey everyone!!! Just hitting you up that suggestions will be open for 3 days from now! Check out the pinned post to submit your idea! :) 

Oberon playing card

 So 8foldhero over twitter commissioned a piece featuring Oberon! It was really fun to do. 

As it's commissioned artwork I wasn't able to record more steps, but here's the piece along with my sketch, and a revised sketch he helped me out with his idea of a layout to help giving out that "card" felling! Playing cards featuring nobility always have a very interesting symmetry element, which was challenging but...

Regarding explicit content

 Last month when I was restructuring the way I work on Patreon, I expected I could fit more explicit nsfw content on it as a feature. Turns out I can't make that promise to you guys!

 After experimenting with fizzy+spicy, I  can say now I really can't push myself to make this kind of content, as it takes a heavy toll on my mental health. When I do it, it's usua...

August Patreon Pin-up suggestions

  Hey there!  The ballot is open.  :))

  You can suggest here on this post or in this suggestion box if you are on the shy side.

  Suggestions will be accepted until the 7th of this month, so there's some time to think!

Drawing board 04

 I had commissioned artwork to do this week after a while, so I haven't been able to draw much for leisure! Oddly on a steven universe mood THO...

> Made this piece of sapphire! The process was kinda like organic because I started unpretentiously as a gesture sketch. I kinda recorded the process LOL so letsu GO

July Pin-up - Zoulápin

 Time for our first pin-up!!! While doing this I thought a lot about how i'll approach pin-ups for our monthly feature  ((:

 For Zoulápin I wanted to make what looks like a game over screen - he's having a good time over his bath house, having Azhar acting as his servant!

 I want to give pin-up illustrations a scene component, but here I played that way up! I plan to make pin-ups more character focused. I'm not a big fan of "cocky smile, muscl...

 I also tackled this cute 40s daddy type! I really like studying costume history....

July Patreon Poll pick!⋆

 With 29% of the votes...  The first pin-up I'll be doing will be for Zoulápin, from Jinn Tales!

 I usually try to rationalize everything I do over here and I'm always surprised somehow as how things go! I really didn't expect an original character would win a character poll... I guess I just need to let it flow and go along right! I admit I am prone to overthinking when I could just do stuff and chill lol!

 Please expect the pin-up to come out until the end o...

2 days left for July Poll to be over!

 Have you voted yet? Help out untying the score! (((:

 Also I'm curious as I've never been to another creator Patreon hosting polls - which is not the same for some of you, as I've noticed!

 For character polls, is it normal a one vote per person or vote whichever options you want? I figured that there was two types of polls here only recently!!

Jinn Tales - All jinn are done!

 I'm finished with the character pin-ups for the jinn! It was fun to draw them, and I really wanted it to do it for a long while!!

 The project was a flop and every time I remember it I get frustrated.  The characters and designs were occupying valuable space on my head that I could spend creating other things. So I wasn't just able to get them out and did them justice, they can be finally be cherished by people other than me and rick! I can say it was a success.

Jinn Tales - Ramad, Jinn of Desire (STEP-BY-STEP)

  Ramad, the Jinn of Desire. This Jinn has an aloof heart, and without emotions of his own, continually bedevils humans with their own cravings in order to feel second-handed emotions. Holding the sultan captive, he holds a never ending party where pleasure and dance never stops.

 The last jinn! He's the boss of the final dungeon!

>  Laying down what I want the picture to feel like! Ramad is very aloof and distant, I wanted him not just to look bored - but h...

Thanks for the input and feedback lately!

 Hey everyone!!

 I've been very thoughtful on how I handle my work and my craft since this pandemic begin. As the enablers and supporters of my creative process, I always want to come as clear as possible! It's already wild thinking someone would invest on me, so that's a thing I take very seriously on making decisions!  

 I do admit I have been saturating this month with opinion research, so I really want to thank you all for your patience, and for the...
