I was asked by LuistheFoxxo to update his bust to include his trademark camo bandana. This is how the process went! :3
This also shows how I go about doing realistic camouflage textures from scratch, so maybe this counts as a tutorial as well?
2022-01-30 23:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostJust a heads up that I'm going to be making a couple of changes to monthly thank you images!
1. I'm going to be posting the custom artwork I make for them separately a month later, so the artwork can be liked/faved/shared separately for those who want to. Because the monthly thank you image will act like an early preview of new artwork, I don't think this will affect the view count, and you all will get the same name recognition!
2. I'm going to try to equalize the proportion of a...

Once again, this was suggested by Nathansnake for my December 2021 Patreon thank you image! I loved drawing this, so thank you for that. :D

This month's drawing was suggested by Nathansnake, who wanted young Nes getting a Christmas present. It felt perfect. <3
Also wow, I got a surprising number of new patrons this month! Please welcome Cobalt Tiger, Nest971124, Animal Desire, Jaxon Jackrabbit, MarioFM and Vatruvius! Thank you for joining and supporting my work! <3
And as always, for the rest of you, thank you much for y...

I can't decide if I like the original sketch or the tiedown better, so I've included both!

This was requested by Andy S in the first suggestion box of the year! He requested either Nes, Ryan, Nick, or Tem snowboarding. It had been a long time since I drew Nick, so I chose him. The last time I drew him was August 2020, so I felt it was about time. :3

I may color this at some point, but for now I'll leave this as is. :3
Taylor was a tortoiseshell cat, so getting her markings right is a huge challenge. xD

I wasn't planning to do a tiedown of this, but after finishing the sketch, I thought - why not? :3
Also, I changed the eyebrows a little between the sketch and tiedown.

The first image were some thumbnail ideas I had for the cover! I was originally going to do nine, but the third one came out so well that when I was part way through drawing the fourth one, I stopped because I just KNEW that was going to be the cover. Christopher agreed!
In the original sketch, Arney the Moose was going to be flanking alongside Eddie, but Christopher wanted one of the antagonists in the book there instead. Turns out, it was the right call! The cover looks a lot better w...

So this is what I was busy with last year and had to keep secret until now - my first illustrated children's book! :D
Eddie the Yeti is a new book series being written by Christopher Scott, with character designs and illustrations by yours truly! Hard Work Wins the Game is the first book in the series, which follows Eddie, Arney, and Chuck as they learn how effort you put into practice can pay off come game time. The book is 32 pages long, and is filled nearly cover to...

I wasn't planning on drawing Markus at all, but after seeing the similarly styled drawings I did of Ryan, Nes, and Tem, I felt it was the right thing to complete the foursome. I do have other characters I could draw too, but these are my main four so I'm going to call this set completed for now. :3
Ryan got the green background due to his eye color.
Nes was given the blue background due to his blue nose strip.
Tem received the red background because of the red gem in his amu...

I changed the hilt for his sword at the last minute. I decided I didn't like it and went with something different that I thought suited him better. ^^;

Sorry again about the lack of posts the past couple of days, but again I'll do some extra ones today to make up for it. I should get back into regularly doing daily posts starting tomorrow... for reasons. You'll see. :3

Ryan got the green square (due to his eyes), Nes got the blue square (due to his eyes and his nose strip), and Tem gets a red square due to his amulet gem color!

Sorry for the lack of posts the last few days! I'm doing three posts tonight to make up for it.
The first sketch was my first pass before deciding to start over. Then every image after that is the development of the final sketch! As you can see I went through a few passes on the head angle/expression. it was difficult to get it down in a way that looked right, but I figured it out in the end!
Some of you might recognize this being similar to another sketch I did before. You would ...

As I said yesterday, I wanted to color this in the same way that I colored Ryan's picture from last week. I'd say it was very effective! :3
I'm surprised how well my tiedown lines are working as a substitute for ink lines. They're easier to do as well for some reason. Maybe I should stick to doing this sort of thing?

This was the new-and-improved version that I made that was much closer to what I originally had in mind. I restarted from the third progression sketch because I liked that original drawing/pose a lot - I just drifted away from it trying to solve another problem.
You can see the rejected/alternate version in my posts from yesterday, as well as a couple of earlier versions of the first sketch shown here. :3
I'm going to be coloring this up similar to the art piece I did of Ryan earl...

Sorry these are so tiny, but technically these are the full-res copies haha. Like with the emotes, I make these small to force me to consolidate detail early on. If I start doing too much detail, it'll show, and it's better to know I'm doing so earlier rather than later!
These are also transparent, so they'll fit well in chat no matter what version of Twitch you use. However, I may need to adjust the 18px chat versions by hand so the mouth and eyebrows show up better.
As I mention...

I finally got around to making sub badges for my Twitch stream! :D
It goes through rainbow colors for the first year, then bronze, silver, gold, and diamond, capping off at five years (although I may shorten that to just a few years.)
I originally thought about doing swords, or even shields, but in the end I decided a cute otter face felt more on brand. The only issue is that in chat, these badges are shrunk down to 18px in size and the eyebrows and mouth kind of disappear. I may ...

Surprisingly I haven't drawn that many squirrels! This is the first squirrel-related art I've posted on Patreon, and there's only 11 results on DeviantArt (with the most recent being June 2019).
Well, here's one more to the tally, and if you haven't, check out the comic this guy is from: Beyond the Western Deep.
Enjoy! :3

This guy belongs to Kobb/Rachel Bennet, from the Beyond the Western Deep webcomic as I'm sure a lot of you know about. I've never drawn a proper picture of him before, so... I'm changing that!

Here's Ryan's brand new look for 2022! And by that I mean literally just adding that little line under his nose and making his legs a little skinnier, haha. I'm not sure if it'll be permanent, but I liked how it looked here sooooo... I kept it!
