Sketch Dump!

For some reason Patreon isn’t allowing me to post things from my computer? Very confusing... But for now, here is a bunch of sketched that I’ve done that I’m not going to post, that were studies for other things or is a behind the scenes of a finished doodle

I think I like this version a lot better, I captured the lighting better and my line work is a lot more stable

This is Mine.

This is a particularly emotional piece for me. 

I can't find the right words to properly explain what it exactly means to me but if you've ever felt like someone's taken a piece of you then this one's for you.

I’m experimenting with making some stationary for February and trying to integrate my lineart-heavy and more grungy style with something more cute and calming... I’m not sure how I feel about this experiment but let me know what you think!

K.O. walkthrough

So, I was really inspired by the way that Dan Hipp's been using colored pencil for lineart lately-- I really love his art direction and illustration and if you haven't checked it out you definitely should. 

First, I started out with a cleaned up sketch: 

And I printed this out, I then did lineart on top of it using a combination of a Sharpie brush pen, Faber Castel Polychromos ...

Greeting Cards (exclusive)

I wanted to make some Holiday Cards for everyone that are exclusive to this Patreon and I also wanted to make them very neutral so you could give them to anyone of any religion and mostly theme it around winter and animals. I really hope you like them!!

Also if you're printing them out: the black lines are trim lines so that you can cut around them and make a square!

Art Block

Hello everyone, 

I hate to say this but I've been going through a lot emotionally (probably due to the pandemic) and as such, I've gotten a really bad case of Art Block. I don't know what to draw or the art just isn't coming out how I want. 

If it's possible, please reply with things you'd like to see from me and maybe it'll give me some creative juices. 

I'm currently working on my sketchbook which is nearly done (only 3 more pages to go!) which when it's com...

Monthly Wallpaper

I realized I totally forgot to do a monthly wallpaper for October!! Hopefully this one looks nice, I was messing around with some surface design and it gives me some Monsters Inc vibes but I was thinking of creepy twins maybe for an episode of Skulldesac.

A Secret Project

So I can't say exactly what this is for just yet, it's a very super secret project. However I'm really excited to show the process and what I've done so far! This may be the finished project, I'm not sure yet.

CATS series

Here’s my series of cats that I’ve designed, some different breeds then different positions and finally (the one that shows up first) a more cartoony conclusion where I just experiment with shapes.


Doing these things as a personal project was really good I think for my character designing skills, finding different ways to draw things but still in my style, I had fun with it but it was also very challenging too.
