...mermay? with apparition boys??

I noticed that it's been some years since I engaged in mermay!! A friend was working some of it with her character so I thought of doing the same!

It was fun, and I was able to do all these in a day, which hasn't happened in months now! I'm taking supplements of vitamin B12 for a little while now and it has been helping a bit with my exhaustion and brain fog problems. So I'm looking forward to getting better!

Also - an opportunity to explore Webisu's healing! little spider energy ...

Did this silly thing for a friend! Posting these while I'm busy and can't quite work on my more personal projects. I will do it though, so hold on with me! <:

I'm still not used to my "new" body at all, really... a piece that would take me tops two days to finish took almost a week!! Getting out of bed today after it was hard cause I was so tired.... it's so annoying to be exhausted all the time! (was going to type it down this little commentary but I did it earlier today over my twt...

May commissions

Dondozo and Tatsugiri

Put up some of the process shots for this piece! Playing with CSP for rendering backdrops - this time I did a sushi asset brush!

For the gijinka designs I wanted a sushi cook for dondozo and some yakuza little dudes for tatsugiri! (:

With this one two of the most voted from queue are done, so if you'd like to steer my process in a specific direction for now, check the post for it! The next pi...

Some stuff I worked on this week! A piece for a friend, and I just noticed whenever it rains got to the 1k download mark, so I wanted to make a little piece to commemorate it! I made a salmon roe brush for the first piece!

edit: made some more details in the whenever it rains piece that I felt were missing! put out a lil froggie and raindrops around!

Oberon vs Hulei!!

 I've been with this comic in mind for a good while!! While I can say I'm satisfied with how the lineart turned out and I'm not so sure of the final product.... sigh. I may do something related to that, or not actually.

Some arm studies!

Been doing some studies to put some grease on my drawing cogs!

Work queue

(reposting this post because I messed up with the configs!)

Besides commissioned artwork and patron rewards, I've been thinking on some creative projects that I can tackle once I have more free time from those!

I was going to list them, but it ocurred to me it may be a good idea to make it as a pool and gauge potential interest. Having your support and knowing you're looking forward to something I can do always makes me want to put extra strenght into art! Let's start!

Edit:...

April patron rewards

Going to these posts monthly as well, featuring patron rewards! <<:

Also the new bust ones! One of them is actually for a friend for helping me out setting some things up online!

April commissions

I did this Lobo piece for a friend that helped me out getting CSP! I made a pastry brush he likes a lot to go along with it hehe!

edit: New piece I worked this week! as it goes in the naughtier side I thought I'd turn the notification on this time. Hope everyone is faring well!

starting new tiers!!

 I'll start experimenting with new patreon tiers that are gonna be more based on rewards - you know, you pay and then you get a bust,a half-body or a full body piece! Don't worry tho, there won't be tier-locked content! Let's see how this flows - really needing to revamp the channels in which I get my dough from! thanks for supporting me throughout sun and rain! ❤️

CSP shenanigans!!

 Hey everyone!!

 I was thinking on how to push my stuff and maybe getting my hands on a new software could help. CSP has a lots of tools that optimize everything I practiced while doing apparition: 3D, doing assets, photobashing, etc. so I wanted to try it out!

 I'm working my head on how to make custom brushes and I did one with grass and another one with bubbles!

A nice thing is that I always worked thinking of stuff as assets, I just copy and pasted them ar...

Discord server/streams?!

I've been thinking a lot about making some sort of discord server where I can stream myself working on stuff! I actually like working while engaging with people so I thought that could be fun and motivate me to draw.

However it'd be mostly for doing streams and sharing wips - I honestly can't commit to manage a lil community! 

Would you like that?

Drawing board

Some stuff I have been working recently, still getting into a groove! I wanted to take a maushold gijinka for a while, and I did this week. It took much longer than expected (had my infusion and neurologist appointments that also drained me) but I finished it and can finally share it!!

 For the maushold pic I did a thing I haven't done in a while - visual research!!! let me show how that usually looks, it's a good type of mess!

March commissions!

 Some stuff I've done this month!! 

 To be honest business has been on the downside... even though I'm offering lower prices, it feels like people aren't that interested on getting something from me anymore. 

I always feel it's because my art has had a sharp decline and that worries me a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm always worried I'm getting worse, everyday.

 So this month I picked up some things I usually don't, like a local commission for a portrait! I us...

Don momotaro x Saru brother (NSFW)

 Heya everyone!!!

 I've been thinking a bunch on how to approach certain stuff with my art, and by extension, my content... Things haven't been flowing well as they used to regarding engament and $$$ so I'm thinking on entering in contact again with my smuttier side...!!! 

 And to enter in contact with it, in a way that I can be comfortable and explore it after getting a bit rusty with it, I decided to make a donbrothers piece, based on the last sentai that air...

drawing board + head and body studies with some thoughts regarding my personal style!

Made this piece for a friend of mine as donbrothers came to an end 😭 Sonoi's breastplate was fun to draw, actually...

 Also for the practices I wanted to focus on some specific things!

 After seeing a lot of Asterix & Obelix issues on a second-hand bookstore in São Paulo, I felt the necessity of studying the author, Uderzo, that has a more toonish approach to head proportions and specially expressions. 

 It's something that I just feel is more inh...

Warden Ingo (step by step + rambly art thoughts)

This is a piece that has been on the back of my mind for a good while now! The idea was like... As part fighting type, hisuian sneasels showed concern to a lost Ingo...with time passing, and a change of habits and food choices... they were able to nurse him back to good health! Who would've thought a few changes could do that?

I know I compromised myself to less complicated pieces and compositions for now, but dunno this just happened...? I've been since the 18th trying to give birth to...

what I'm planning with art going forward

 I have been thinking on making a post about how my relationship with art has been going for a good while now and what I'm planning going forward! I even thought of doing something like a recording to see if I could follow some kind of stream of conscience... 

 But I guess I'll take the opportunity, I'm tired from carnaval, am alone at home, and also on a writing mood so I'll make it now.

 ...............Me from 1 hour in the future here LOL. Oh gosh it's so di...

Carnaval days...!

 Hey everyone!!!

 Finally life has given be a brief moment of calm (and sobriety) to properly update over here!

 I have arrived on tuesday as planned - but carnaval is going on and I got sucked in street bloc parties!!! It's still going on, really... it officially ends in ash wednesday (tomorrow) but I already started to try getting back on rhythm.

 My plan right now is to make this silly post just to update on how my trip was - and then make a more dedic...

Tiny break!

 My SO has to go to São Paulo to update some stock - and he along with my therapist said it could be nice for me to tag along! I'll be over São Paulo for 5 days starting tomorrow. It's been over 4 years since I made any kind of trip so... I'm looking forward to it...? I admit I'm a bit scared, I kinda lead an hermit life and being far from home can be stressing...

I've never been to São Paulo - it's Brazil's biggest city!!! I'm really hoping this can recharge me a bit, so I can ...

recent comms!

Some recent commissions! For one of them I made a pattern, so I put up the process for it here!

EDIT: I think I may do monthly posts for these and update them throught the month, like I'm doing now! The only thing different I'd do next time would be not notifiying about the change as to not spam your inbox.

Patron commissions are open!

 Hey everyone!! As I go bit by bit back to my rhythm I'll be first opening commissions over here!

 My mental status has pretty much made me scared of people, of creating and living, to be honest. Opening to the grand public is a scary thought but I have to power through it...!!! At least with patrons I feel much safer working with.

 It's the rough finishing style I used in my last batch and has a special patron price - 65USD with a discount proportional to the tier ...

Pages process - CH02 PG06-11

  Hey!!

 There's been some time since I last did a page process post for APPARITION right? It was by that time that the multiple sclerosis investigation and diagnosis begun and I  lost track and control of everything. 

 I know people say I should be more patient with myself as this is a pretty difficult situation... but I can't help it. It's been long enoug...

Update! PC got!!!

 Hey everyone!!

 In an effort to rekindle my pursuit in art and the creative, it was necessary making a pretty unpredicted investment this time. 

 It's no news my current pc is pretty beaten up - and this last week just proved it is in its last moments. So I got a new pc!!! Spending from my savings is pretty much like removing a part of my body - but it was really necessary!!

 I also organized my room - my stuff from the move, which was in august, we...

I tried putting up an APPARITION cover for tapas but...!

 So!!! In my quest to have more eyes on my personal creative project, I decided to try uploading it over tapas! I didn't consider it before because the guidelines for publishing at the site are that no mature themes are allowed. But well... I have nothing to lose, right?

 To finish publishing it I needed to make a cover for it for some reason - so I picked up some Illustrations I did for the promo and devised this makeshift cover.

 Then, with these formalities out o...

Update!! I'll have to buy a new notebook yuck!!

Today was kinda insane!!!

It started with me getting frustrated at my notebook (again) because I needed my internet working asap for my therapy session (a very common occurrence). 

But guess what? the wi-fi adapter is most likely dead this time!!!

I tried connecting by cable... but the port is most likely dusty and rusty so it didn't recognize the cable at all.

I'm lucky my SO was working from home  with telemarketing until recently, so he kinda had a portabl...

Health update!

Hey everyone!!

How's the end of the year treating you? It's such a busy time, remember to try resting and spending time with your loved ones.

As these tend to be busy busy times I had my third tysabri infusion just before christmas!! That way I can take that out of my head for a bit. The infusions don't make me feel any physical side effects (which is great!) but I get this thing I call infusion blues... I always have a rough time in the day and for a while after it, but that's ju...

Bit by bit trying to rediscover my passion for art again...! This time I decided to tackle something that has been fresh on my mind: some pokemon scarlet and violet character head studies!!

 I was going to throw a Kofu here but I don't know, I have a feeling that I want to make something just for him? He's cute, I'd love to eat something made by him! I think I'd definitely feel better....
