Weekly Update

Time to get ready for the new week - I hope you plan on having a good one! Thank you SO much to everyone who sent me commission requests both for the character sheets and Valentine's couple portraits! They've kept me very busy, but luckily I'm almost through them all. 

Stream Schedule

I meant to stream this weekend, but I couldn't afford to lose any time this weekend not focusing 100% on just the artwork so sorry about that to anyone hoping for a stream. I ...

Howzit guys! How is it already February? I feel like I should've gotten so much more accomplished... though I have been BLAZING through these commissions - thank you so much to those who came to visit the Comm Cafe. On to the updates!

This Week's Stream Schedule + CNMC 

Gonna be streaming for the next several nights if you'd like to join, perhaps one will be public and MAYBE one will include voice. It's hard to use the mic when the AC vent is right above my w...

NEW! CNMC Pages 11 - 13

Already finished the preliminary dialogue for the next chapter so I'm coming right behind this with chapter 2 and [finally] pages with little Miss Hopps! Hopefully I'll have pages to upload by this weeken...

New Pages [Prob] This Wednesday!

We got through a lot of pages this weekend and I'm definitely gonna end chapter one this week - I only need another two hours to finish the last page!

Thank you to everyone who stopped by my stream! I finished some pages, but since we're almost done with chap. 1, I figure I'll wait until I can give them to you guys in bulk.

Hold out just a little longer!

NEW! CNMC Pages 9 - 10

Nick has made it to Casa de Carrots and all seems fine, yes indeed.

I'll be streaming page 11 and probably a bit of 12 at 10am today (Sunday), so feel free to swing by!

AM Stream

Good morning! If you like art and have nothing better to do this morning, might I suggest visiting the Cove for an art stream and chill vibes? 

Streams, Commissions, and Wildehopps Poll

Aloha, こんにちは, salut and hiya! I hope you're having a good week. Here's a few announcements for you this Thursday afternoon:

Weekend Stream Schedule

I'll be streaming this Saturday and Sunday at 10A EST; I miss streaming with you all. Streams may be cancelled suddenly due to current affairs happening in my area. None currently scheduled for next week for the sa...

CNMC Pages 6, 7, 8, and 9 (WIP)

I'm back at it for the new year with new pages of CNMC. I think the break helped improve my linework, which is awesome because I'm trying to find a good art-life balance this year.

Anywhoo, I'm still anxious to keep working on this so I'll keep on it until the end, and I may also open TWO slots for character sheets this month for those who miss the commission window, so stay tuned <3. 

Here's a little preview of the current page I'm working on. I may stream these pages lat...

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

I hope you're all safe and sound and ready to become your best selves this year! I've spent the last week unplugging so I could plan to make this year better, regardless of what comes and I'm pumped to make more art to share with you all. I'll pick my art projects back up next week and can't wait to share it all with you!

CNMC Progress + First Cameo!

Merry..Happy Day-After-Christmas! I hope everyone who celebrates enjoyed themselves, and to those who don't, I hope you enjoyed the time off!

Christmas seemed to pass by in a blur like everything else this year. Or maybe I'm just always ready for what's next XD

Speaking of which, I'm making steady progress on CNMC - I'm already in 3 pages of chapter 2! I've switched from Photoshop to Clip Studio and am making much faster progress, only...maybe 6-8 more to go? I go by how the scrip...

Merry Christmas to All!

Merry Christmas, Patrons!

I sincerely hope that everyone plans to have a safe and Merry Christmas this weekend! And if you don't celebrate, that's ok - I still hope you have a Happy Holiday! I'm super thankful for all the love and support you all have given me over the years and so I have no wishes for myself other than that YOU might have a wonderful holiday!

Joyeux Noël, Mele Kalikimaka, メリークリスマス and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Rough Pages + BG Characters Needed! + Print Update

Today's the first day of winter! *mini yay* Everyone gearing up for a....totally normal Christmas holiday? I know I am - I've completely checked out at work (and so has everyone else apparently). My goal is to push through CNMC since I've got positive momentum going! I managed to rough draft most of what I need today in my handy dandy notebook, so feel free to keep a mental note of the expressions in these 2 sample pages when the finished pages pop up! Chapters 2-5 will be longer in length th...

Christmas Needs More Cilantro | Chapter 1: Holiday Cheer

[Reupping bc the dialogue on some of the pages were incorrect or misspelled (thanks, Tina!) If you've saved the previous ones, please replace with these new pages!]

It's almost Christmas, WOW ! And in less than two weeks we'll be in a new year (what a year, eh)! Even through COVID, I some how found a way to stay busy through job hunting, print logistics, and lots of introspective thoughts on what I did and didn't do this year and how I want 2021 to work for me.

Hard Life Lessons

"What did I do wrong, mom?"

I'm so sorry... I'm sorry that this is your struggle. That it's our struggle. Your father and I know what it's like, and we know it's not fair. I hate to think you'll carry this forever, hate to think things might never get better for you. And that it'll wear on you, change you and strip away who you are and everything you could be. 

I'm sorry there's no words we could've ever said to prepare you for thi...

Order + Stream Schedule Update

Happy Thursday! So the orders came a little later than scheduled, but it looks like I have most of them!  Because of that, I won't be able to stream tonight or tomorrow so I can wrap everything up.  I'll probably make an art post before the weekend ends still.

I'll be in touch!

First Four Orders Shipped!

I never thought I'd be so excited to share my art with you guys, but here I am! The first 4 are gone and left in the hands of the U.S. Postal Service!

*insert worried Kermit gif here*

Apparently, the REST of the prints should be arriving today, so I know what I'll be doing today and tomorrow night! Really anxious to see what a shipment of...50 prints looks like XD.  Tomorrow's Wednesday stream will be cancelled so I can spend time trying to contact and collec...

Weekend Art + Order Update and Stream Sched.

Hope you had a good weekend! Let me give people who pre-ordered a quick update before diving in:

ORDERS

Still waiting to get the prints back from the printer, but once they're done they'll be overnighted to me and I'll turn them around ASAP. Since I have all my shipping materials and 1-3 of the orders ready by this afternoon (and because work is slow XD), I'll ACTUALLY start sending invoices this week. I'll send another update once I finally get the 50+ print orde...

Picarto Stream Art!

We had fun last night! I still want to give Nick's button down some pine cones and what-not as suggested, though (maybe tonite before I get into Friday's drawings).

Thanks to everyone who came by and enjoyed art and Christmas music with me for... FOUR HOURS XD. All streams will be on Picarto so I can go rogue with my music lol. Link to tonite's stream will be in a separate post.

Patreon Stream - Christmas Doodles!

Lots of doodles were drawn, no regrets were made. Thanks be to all who joined our cozy little Christmas stream with music and Santa deniers and baby Nicky's galore! I'll try to get the mic set up tomorrow so I can chitty-chat with you all while I work - I'm a shy sqorl, but I'm working on it!

Anyways, enjoy the Christmas treats!

December Update

Hey, guys! For all my US supporters, I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving [holiday]! Despite this year being very troubling, there's still so much to be thankful for. I'm definitely thankful to have had a wonderful ride making and sharing art with you guys for as long as I have! There were many holidays I grew up with and missed because I was abroad that I was able to spend with you guys instead and I'm very grateful for that. Not to mention all the fun times we've had as well! While I...

SQORL SHOP | Patreon Open! (UPDATE)

Hi, Patrons! I'm excited to say that I finally go my art back from the printer and they look pretty good! So because I'm feeling good about the quality, I'll finally be taking print orders! I'm new to this and do this after work so I'm definitely not Amazon, but I'm going to do my best to make this easy for both of us!

11/24 UPDATE

You guys really showed up at the Shop! Thank you all SO much for the orders! I'm hoping everyone can receiv...
