Patreon features changes! Feedback poll results

 Hello everyone!!

 Thanks again for the feedback on my last pool! It was exceptionally informing!! I did some studying on how my favorite artists handle their platforms as well, so I believe I've come with an idea of work plan for the month and I wanted to share with you all! (((:

 Here's a list of my proposed changes! I plan to start these this month to experiment. ;D

  • At the start of the month, I'll open a sugge...

Thanks everyone for voting!

 I was very surprised to know that like... lots of people voted!?!? Thank you all very much, pools surely feels like the best way to gather information too - as it's just one click and I don't demand much from you!

With these results, I'll be able to think better how to organize my content. I plan on posting an update on the 7th, along with an artpack! 

 Thank you all again!!! That was really precious information. It really brightened up my day!!

Tailoring my content - Could I use your vote on this poll?

 You can read the bold parts of the text to skim through the text.

 My Patreon was pretty much a space with few people, but after I poster my Archie and Matt piece recently, I received quite the influx of people! Besides being very grateful for it, it made me feel that i was actually getting the handle of providing content people are willing to subscribe for View Post

Jinn Tales - Musmus, the Jinn of Tales (STEP BY STEP)

 Musmus, the Jinn of Tales! When the summoning of the Jinn by the hand of the vizier went wrong, they all broke out of their bounds - but Musmus was left behind. Still on his lamp Musmus was found by Azhar, and with a pact, granted him Jinn powers. He is the navigator character!

 He's very snarky and a know it all, the other Jinn usually despise him because they think he's annoying. Let's go to the step by step! (:

Drawing board 01

Hey everyone!! I'm going to start releasing artpacks here for now. Pieces that I've done but don't feel like posting for now or at all. This one spams the month, but I'd like to post them with more frequency, to not clutter at the end of the month. All depends on what you guys want, tbh!

 Patreon can be a bit confusing to me as to where I should put my images! I feel that putting the pictures above kinda messes up the resolution, and down here it doesn't distort much, besid...

Help needed! Could I use your feedback?

Hello everyone!

There's something important I wanted to talk about, so I really appreciate that you're taking your time to read it!

 I don't know if you're aware, but Patreon is the only platform I've been able to invest any energy on, and as commissions have been exhausting to do, it ends up being an important source for me.

 I've been feeling lost with art overall, and I'm feeling disconnected. I could really draw inspiration as to how to proceed from your feedba...

Festa junina patterns

 In June we commemorate festa junina for the whole month here in Brazil, but due to the pandemic we won't have it this year! I had to do some festa junina content though, I miss it so bad ;v;

 I'll post it on my twitter soon to my fellow brazilians to have them as well!

 Along with the patterns, I'm posting the elements separately here:

New kind of material to post?

 I'm not aware if everyone knows, but I've been on hiatus over twitter! It has been my main front for the last year and I admit it has been burning me out a lot. It's a place I've been actively getting away from, but as you all know I didn't stop drawing.

 I think i'll start posting doodles, sketches and material I work routinely. I usually just want to show the best for you all, and this pressures me to post only super finished pics, but this may be interesti...

At Bastard's process

 This hunk is one of my friend Raya's characters! Sinclair is supposed to be at work over Bastard's, the club he works as a host and manager. Sinclair's alien species have this very cool flaming galaxy mane that I had lots of fun rendering. I also recorded the steps!

>Starting pretty rough on this one! As it doesn't show the legs i don't have to lots of gesture passes.

Takosashi process

 While I was working on this doodle for my friend Everett, of his character Takosashi! I took the opportunity and saved some steps of the process!

 This one is cool because I worked with a pose I've never done... which would be a character holding a gatling gun!!! Even finding proper reference for it is kinda hard. I recorded my struggle here and I think it's kinda interesting tbh...

Jinn Tales - Pistachio, the Jinn of Duality, ruffian form

 Pistachio is a master of dualities - master of earth and air magic, ruling over who's innocent and guilty. After his health is depleted by a certain amount, the stern, tidy, law-abiding Pistachio turns into his wild, rowdy, outlaw persona! 

 I wanted this one to be a bit more on the doodle side, but i recorded some parts of the process and am sharing it here. I could have stopped at the lineart step buuuut lol

Jinn Tales - Pistachio, the Jinn of Duality (STEP BY STEP)

 Pistachio... the Jinn of Duality! Master of the jail house. Acting as a judge, he passes his stern judgment on mankind for its sins. Pistachio would be the boss of the second dungeon!

 The earliest and only pieces of concept I have for him are.... these. That's why I consider this one entirely original! Does he have a second form? I'll make a second post for it!

Heir beach party!

 Did this one to commemorate doing the six outfits prompt for the heirs!!   There's a tiny rambling about lighting and painting on this post! 

 Wanted to use the models I did to show their height differences. I always try to strive for visual and body diversity in my work and I honestly think I achieved that with them!

June Fizzy+Spicy suggestions open!

 Thinking of an ideal hunk to work out for the month's NSFW is difficult, so I thought of opening a suggestion box! I'm using a site i'm not used to, so any feedback is cool!

 Click here to contribute with your suggestion!  

 Be creative!! Some characters are kinda overused and I admit i love being a contrarian with some things lol!

Six outfits - Ryusei

 Well, I decided to finish this off and made Ryusei! What a cool prompt, doing alternate costume for characters is always fun. You can explore a lot of things about them!

 I documented the process again, and will be sharing here.... this time i separated the flats shivers as well!

>Ryusei is one tiny stocky boi! He's cute and amicable and I wanted to make that show in his pose....

Training sessions 18

 Some practice doodles I've been doing around. The purpose of those is always anatomy practice, but I guess I can slap a dong on a null crotch for the sake of entertainment for you all lol!

 On that second board I was studying attaching arms to the body! One thing to notice - the arms gesture are tertiary in important. I've changed the position fully for each iteration but it didn't affect at all the movement of the figure - torso is primary and legs secondary. I always place ...

Clownfish pattern elements

 I thought of sharing the elements I did for my clownfish reef piece here, along with the tileable version of the pattern! 

 I did a tiny study on clownfishes before doing this piece as well, which I think is kinda fun to share hehe

 I've done these patterns by hand! I tried using tools before, but I'm dumb and had a hard time. I found it easier doing them with a manual method, which i can go through if any of you is interested!

Jinn Tales - Card Art 06

While looking up for Zoulápin content i found out some old card art that I didn't post!! Here's the Vahana category of cards, which would summons tokens/familiars that help you in battle.

>Ricardo is the most feminine of the heirs, but he's the most hairy as well! I wanted to play with his hair as well, as he's a wild spirit that loves playing with his appearance. I added some quechua braids to show off his peruvian/chilean heritage!

Barret's electric stress relief (NSFW)

 Oop, hey everyone!! Here's the nsfw piece I promised of Barret!! Even if these are on the sketchier side as I said smuttier content would be - I still cataloged some of the structure I used for these and I'll be sharing them here!

 I've been very blocked when it concerns to NSFW due to unwanted attention and energy I'd get from strangers, but I admit I had fun doing this one nyehehe...!

Recovering over Seventh Heaven - STEP BY STEP

Thanks patrons!!

 Patreon has been the most lively it has ever been, that makes me glad during these difficult times! Feedback is rare for me even from my inner circle so this really gives off good energy, thank you!

 I've been thinking on how I'll deal with NSFW content lately. I definitely don't want to make a full finished pin-up, so I've been thinking on making a sketch page based on a specific character (in this month's case, Barret) - this way I can get loose and have fu...

Jinn Tales - Zoulápin the mist jinn, 2018-19 concept art

 

Here are works mostly from 2018 and very early 2019! I had to look through the archive of the dev log to grab some pieces i wanted to showcase here but I think i got what i need now! Going there is a bit tiresome to me to be honest... 

The art is a bit outdated so I'll make some considerations of things I learned along the way!

I had received an influx of patrons this month that will definitely be crucial to stabilize financially for this month that passed. I'm really grateful! That sense of safety definitely helped me be productive in these critical times.
