May Weekly Update

Hey patrons! Good morning!

It's been an extremely busy week but I'm happy to announce that patreon prints, late as they are, have finally gone out. I'm going to be ordering and preparing this next batch as soon as possible given how long the deliveries took this time around. Can y'all tell Covid to hurry up and GO AWAY so the world goes back to normal? I've also heard from the people at the post office that international shipments might be delayed - I'm not sure how tr...

May Updates

We're past midmonth aaaah!

I want to extend a big thank you to everyone who submitted commission requests this month. As always, you all exceed my expectations and pull through when I really really need you. This is one of those months and you've provided me with enough work to take care of myself. With bills tight, I've gotta say I'm blessed to have all of you and your generous support.

With that being said, my goal is to finish as many of these sketches as pos...

Navya Concept 2.0 (Term 41)

And though every movement came in cheerful song--every step a sway and a tinkle of pretty things and baubles--there was more beneath the languid shift of hazy, pale eyes. She was lost, things stolen, and a heart shattered from a love long past.

You might see more mermaids this month!

Asherah, Octopus (Term 40)

In a cove sheltered by clinging mist and spears of grass, an immortal has found a place to die. Countless centuries of curiosity at last satisfied, her answer given in the fearful shout of a man and a well-aimed harpoon. 


A signed, fine art print will be available to patrons in term 41!

April Weekly Update #1

Good morning lovelies!  

And happy April!   I can hardly believe it's here and I'll be honest, I'm just glad that March is over. PHEW, it was a challenging month! Today I'm a busy bee, but not too busy to write to all of you wonderful folks.

I hope you are all staying healthy and safe!

There's a lot of packing prints in my future! While waiting for Cinza prints to arrive in the mail, I'm prepping thank you notes and labeling envelopes! The...

Navya (Term 40)

The merry tinkle of baubles announces her arrival before all else.

A rather new character, born from some concepts based on the Conan the Barbarian/Conan Exiles universe. It's likely that I'll be working her into a full illustration in time, as well as revisiting some other characters I've created in the same universe.

Term 39 Complete - UPDATES

Thank you all for another wonderful month today on patreon! I feel like I'm finally getting my art mojo back and I'm feeling a bit better with the whole art struggle I faced last month. I still feel slow going but feeling really happy about where I'm headed. <3

I hope you all had an absolutely wonderful March!

Olette, White Tiger Moth (Term 39)

The soft flutter of silk and the muted sound of feet falling on moss breaks the quiet in the sacred grove. It is the only home she's ever known, but she is content to spend her days tending to the fragile, glowing crop.

Study 4 (Term 39)

Playing around with skintones (again, I know, but never enough practice), stylization and edges on this piece. Also challenging myself with a timed work setting. I'd like to improve the speed of my workflow and so spotting relevant details quickly, while being able to place them with minimal brush strokes, it something I'm trying to practice! Hoping to share more of these later!

This piece took an hour an a half. I recorded the video process to share with you in term 39 rewards - this ...

Photo Study 3 (Term 39)

Playing around a bit with lighting in this piece! I've recently been pushing my ability to capture interesting lighting with cool vs warm tones in the different values. This image had a lovely effect with cool tones in the shadow, and warmer tones in the highlights!

I've always played with contrast with values alone but I think bringing opposing colors and tones into the mix adds that extra pop!

This image is exclusive to patreon! You'll recieve a downloadable version wi...

March Weekly Update (WIP)

Hey all.

I know it's been an absolutely hectic month for everyone. I hope that amidst all the craziness that you're staying safe and healthy in your homes. I have a few updates that I'd like to share, but between taking care of some things at home - and taking a small bit of time to recover during a month that's historically challenging for me - art has been slower!

I do, however, still have some exciting things to share! And a couple, not so exciting things, but it's my duty to ...

Term 38 Complete - UPDATES

Term 38 is a wrap!

This batch is smaller this month - a lot of my work was for private clients and I won't be able to share it right away. That being said, you still have some goodies waiting for you in your inbox!

Thank you all for an absolutely wonderful month.

Cinza, Silver Fox (Term 38)

Some spirits can walk among mortals, slowly earning their trust until they and their victim simply vanish. On your next visit to the city, beware women beckoning from shadowed alleys - no matter how comely.

February Weekly Update #2

Happy Friday!

I love Fridays - they have no real bearing on my work week but I'm always refreshed and looking forward to spending our streams together on Saturday morning. Friday brings us one day closer to that.

This week I have small updates, but updates none the less!

Silver Fox illustration has BEGUN!

She is still in the very early WIP stage (hoping to change that this afternoon with a bit of luck, and maybe even have it ready for stream tomorrow) ...

Delen, Orchid Mantis (Term 37)

Sheltered gardens bloom with a hidden abundance protected by fierce mantids. A more inquisitive spirit instead finds herself lost among the fragrant petals, drawn by the lull of the song of the creatures who dwell with her.

Hey friends! Happy Friday - I hope your week has been nothing but awesome!

It has been an insanely art filled week for me.
I couldn't be happier with how much I've been able to make time for painting. If you take a peek at the WIP above, you can see what I've been working on. Orchid Mantis is nearly finished - I intend to finish her up by Sunday! Since she's going out with term 37 rewards, so that means you can expect to find January's patreon rewards in you...

Happy Friday, my friends!

Some progress has been made on our next Daemon Animauras lady. Orchid Mantis now has a concept and I'm EXCITED. I'm totally getting some cute fairy vibes - we'll see where this piece takes me! 

If you would like to suggest some names for her, you can check out the #suggest-names discord channel!

Other than that, once I get some solid progress on Mantis, I'll be picking up some more commissions from my list! T...
