i am finally returning after a long hiatus! i’ll resume posting content in march, so normal billing will resume on april 1st. I’m excited to be back, but i’ve also got some important changes to announce. this is a long post, but please read on! all of these changes take immediate effect, and i want to make sure everyone is up to date!
as many of you know, i’m struggling with poor mental health (including untreat...
2022-03-15 13:57:29 +0000 UTC View Posti’m once again extending my hiatus — i’m taking both january and february off. i haven’t posted anything in january and i won’t be posting anything in february, so i won’t charge patrons for either of these two months. i will pause the billing cycles in question, so you will NOT be billed on february 1st and march 1st. (you don’t need to do anything, but if you have any questions, feels free to send me a DM or comment below.)
<... 2022-02-01 02:29:22 +0000 UTC View Postokay i know this is getting a bit repetitive, but i took december off too. don’t worry, i will be back, as soon as i can manage! i’m just still struggling a lot with mental health & burnout, and kubi’s support has made it possible to extend my hiatus longer than i initially planned. it felt like a good idea to take the chance to rest up and recover as much as i possibly could, especially over the holidays.
you probably know the drill by now: since there’s been no de...
2021-12-31 00:57:52 +0000 UTC View Postso uh. i ended up taking november off too. i didn't really plan to, and it's a long story that involves my OCD going haywire and lots of feeling paralysed by anxiety. on the upside of things i'm also suddenly able to travel to visit kubi, my partner, after covid kept us apart for almost 2 years (we live in different countries). but preparing for that trip also took up a lot of time and mental energy because it's triggered a lot of OCD, so yeah. november slipped away from me.
since i hav...

IT’S FINALLY HERE —!!!
download the attached .zip to access a 7-page PDF of this tutorial, as well as pngs of each individual page!
the original plan was to tackle both expressions and body language all at once, but as you may have read elsewhere, i realised it was too big a topic for a single tutorial. i decided to turn it into a 3-part series instead, so HTM13 is about expressions, HTM14 will be about body language, and HTM15 will be about nsfw expressions ...
2021-10-31 22:59:04 +0000 UTC View Postfor the rest of this month, i'm going to focus entirely on HTM tutorials and commissions, and try to catch up as much as i can.
to that end, i'm taking some time off from everything else. this means that i will not be posting any of my usual content in october -- no paintings, sketches, OC spotlight, MOTM art, or wallpaper. (the results of the ongoing OC spotlight poll and MOTM poll will be applied to november instead.)
because of this, you will NOT be cha...

after first establishing the pose and proportions, i got to work detailing the shapes and decor of the monster's body. using my concept sketch as reference for the various carvings was even more necessary than usual, but now that i was making a more polished piece i also ended up elaborating some of the detail...

this design prompt is based on xan farley's suggestion of "the personified concept of flowers growing from a grave." parts of their idea were admittedly lost in translation when i tweaked it into "the blooms of death." my initial reason had simply been to keep the poll option short and snappy, but then i realised it also expanded the possibilities. not all cultures and funerary traditions keep earthen graves that flowers can grow from, but countless people, ...

[ hey everyone! i just made this post addressing delays in recent content + thoughts on how i'm gonna try my best to get back on track & catch up. as mentioned in that post, some september content is gonna be late, including the OC spotlight about rana hailan. this is a placeholder post which will be updated as soon as the text is done. at least i managed to finish the portrait of her in time, ...
2021-09-30 19:47:06 +0000 UTC View Postso hey. there's a couple of things i want to acknowledge and address: i know i've been posting less content than usual in the last few months, and some of it has been late. this is especially true for long overdue HOW TO MONSTER tutorials, and for commissioners that have been waiting way longer than i ever wanted.
this is all due to my mental health having gotten worse and worse throughout 2021. i've talked about this in the past, but the tl;dr is i struggle with untrea...

heated, growly huffs over their shoulder, claws twitching into the skin of their back.
it's been a while since i drew march & charlie, and that just won't stand! march is clearly having a Moment, but i'll let you choose your own adventure and decide if he's only just started pushing into his lover's warm hole -- or if he just came inside them.

remember this feathered lady from october 2018? she's yet another monster-of-the-month who's back by popular demand. she's basically a minoan phoenix, and i'm still quite proud of that unusual spin on a classic monster (you can read more about it in the design commentary).

Many tales portray vampires as afflicted with a curse, and capable of turning other mortals into nighttime predators by way of bite or ritual. Such is not the case in our desert world. Instead, our vampires are a species -- they are born, not made, but are technically never alive. A vampire's heart never beats, their lips never draw breath, and their eyes never close to sleep.
Yet, in some mysterious way, their bodies turn every single drop of blood into stren...

drawing this was so much fun, though challenging at times. after transferring the rough sketch from a page full of doodles, i started figuring out how to pose the dragon's wings and tail. i truly have a love-hate relationship with drawing wings. it can be very hard to make them look right but they'r...

thanks again to toreadorkable for suggesting "something kind of dinosaur-ish, with some fun mixing scales and feathers." i turned this idea into "prehistoric dragon," because "prehistoric" covers the feathered dinosaur aspect and opened up the door for drawing inspiration from other ancient creatures too.
i'll admit that i know very little about dinosaurs -- unlike many other history nerds, i never had a paleontology phase. nor do i keep up with the ongoing dis...
