April 2021 Update!

I can feel the concept of time melting away but here we are with another month O(-< Bunch of life stuff happening in the background this past few days. I’ve been figuring out my PC/laptop set up and hopefully i can get that done by next month which could mean a more streamlined way i go with streaming. I would like to get into doing art streams again so I’m manifesting it for the coming month!

Other than that, not much news/personal stuff coming up as a lot has just been brewing ...

WIP - Owl House Gang

Had this lying around on my desktop! Just a process drawing of my Owl House group drawing of them eating some street food (but like as eyeballs haha). One of the characters had a different pose which I changed last minute. Skipped recording my sketching process (again) and maybe I can not do that next time

March 2021 Update!

I'm still alive!! I know I'm still under a quasi-hiatus on this page but I think it's nice to keep the life/work updates here!

Currently, I'm figuring out how to balance freelance on top of full-time but I do want to get back to updating this page regularly again! I'd like to make this patreon my main side thing perhaps once I finish up all of this remaining freelance. It's Not Fun spending the weekend doing even the lightest of work and I'd rather spend it doing personal stuff!

WIP - Beta Totodile

Recorded a sketch and good thing I *almost* forgot to record I started recording almost half-way done my first pass. I'm happy to only do two sketch passes this time! First getting the shapes right and then the second tying all those shapes down! I wanted to change the design up a bit while keeping the original elements. It's a nice exercise!

I also like to thank vector layers once again for saving me from wobbly lines haha.

WIP - Kobold Animation

Captured my rough process this time! Decided to keep the duration to 60 seconds because the original video is like 15 minutes long lmao. I really underestimate the effort it takes to make a clear and sound rough animation and this was something that took a bunch of hours. I am, however, more aware of spacing now but I could use more work in making shapes clear!

February 2021 Sketch Requests

A bit delayed, but here are some character requests for last month's patrons in the seatmate tier and for those who subbed for an annual membership! It was always a pleasure drawing these fellas!

SKETCH THOUGHTS 76

Some stuff d&d stuff I drew. Been pacing myself lately with my drawing output and kinda feeling being on the tightrope of burning out from drawing too much and wanting to draw for myself. I suppose it's something I can figure out later on!

Pausing Billing Cycle & Reward Delays

This'll be this month's update but oh boy what a title! Going straight to it, I'm sad to announce that I will have to pause this Patreon's billing due to having taken in a full-time position.

With that said though! I think this wouldn't affect everyone's access to the posts here as well as the access of the Discord server. I do still plan on posting here and there but I realized I may not be able to keep a consistent posting schedule.

On that note, I may have a sl...

WIP - Hans Animation

Was waiting for stuff to happen so I spontaneously wanted to see how far I can push CSP animating. Here are some progress shots I uploaded over at discord. Kinda sad I didn't record this!

It's a lot of layers lmao but if anyone is curious about the mess of layers I have, I included the project files for this small thing.

Got a bit of respite these past days so I'm making them count! Not drawing too much! II did find some neat watercolor brushes for CSP though!

JANUARY 2021 Update (Maybe March Billing Pause)

Hoping this first month has been kind to everyone! It has been quite a busy month over at my end and it is looking like it may not be stopping anytime soon.

I am afraid that it may come to a point where I'm not so sure if I can guarantee a stream of content for this page but this is something that I would still need to figure out the coming month! With that said, I'll have to gauge the possibility of maintaining this patreon next month but I do want to give everyone a heads up t...

January 2021 Sketch Requests

Requests for those in the seatmate tier and for those who signed up as an annual patron! I took some liberties in the designs! Thanks for the characters everyone!

MAGIC FOLKS - Sketches 20

I think mage girl and faerie guy's design are more or less good! I think I finally found a nice collar shape for mage girl that doesn't look too flat. I need to thin out some proportions on her though.

I've been thinking about a short comic for the longest time now but I've been on and off in figuring out what on sort of one-shot story I wanna convey.

It's something I gotta sit down on I suppose!

WIP - Warlock

Got another process video for you all! Kinda got lost in this during some downtime. I started this off using ericbeaudu's perspective material (https://assets.clip-studio.com/en-us/detail?id=1807950). I feel like I didn't follow the guide properly haha!

I'm kinda not happy with the quality and roughness of the lines I used here (I didn't want to re-do the lines.......) but I wanted to go for...

WIP - Legosi Sketch

Randomly decided to record this. Playing around with brushes I downloaded Pharan's Krupuk Marker brushes, True Grit brushes and an oil brush that got deleted off the asset store. I definitely recommend playing around all sorts of brushes as I tend to use techniques I don't usually execute. Most of the time I never use the brushes again for my main work but I think it's a nice small stimulating feeling to work wi...

SKETCH THOUGHTS 74

I'll be swamped with work this month but I've been trying to squeeze in some personal sketching here and there to keep my sanity together haha! I feel like I've been drawing the same kind of things so I try my darnest to break away from that through sketch pages. I wish I had the patience to do more painterly rendering, though so who knows!

I'll continue to build this sketchbook so perhaps by the time quarantine ends I'll have a whole book of these random digital sketch pages!

SKETCH THOUGHTS 73

With the release of my CSP brushes. I looked inward a bit on how I go about using my inking brushes. I couldn't really describe how I tackle my shapes but I noticed that I tend to limit my lines from being too close to each other as the look of this sort of brush comes off as strong.

I tend to let my lines breath without the shapes coming off as too empty. It's a delicate balance of simplicity and detail for me when I look bac...

WIP - Mad Rat Dead

Skipped recording the sketch process as I need to get the habit haha. Used my regular brushes and True Grit's free brushes on CSP. They're pretty good!

DECEMBER UPDATE (and also wrapping up 2020)

Going right off the bat with this update to say that some life stuff have happened the past few weeks coupled with being caught up with work and that resulted in a bad combo. So sadly, I didn't get to make much personal stuff/sketches this month.

With that said, I'm very glad to have arranged this small secret santa event and it makes me happy to see all the art that people have been giving each other over at the discord!

This has been one tough year but looking back, I feel that ...

December 2020 Sketch Request Rewards

Last set for the year! Doing some small tweaks to the usual characters! Also including this month's requests for those who signed up/upgraded for the annual membership!


Thank you so much for the prompts!

SKETCH THOUGHTS 72

Compiling some sketches I've saved over the year that I think I haven't posted yet? So I'm posting all the things I feel I missed!

WIPS/Thumbs, OC sketches, and snippets of quick comics as I've done to process some thoughts and feelings.

It's been a tiring year...2020 being definitely one for the books.

Surprise Secret Santa

First of all, I want to say thank you to everyone who signed up for the secret santa! As thanks, I've drawn a small sketch for all of the other participants. Adding my ”official” one for jeri_june!

I've been meaning to do some sort of community/event thing for Patrons as a celebration of hitting 100+ patrons but I couldn't figure out how to go by it. I felt that this secret santa was a small but perfect opportunity to give back a bit.

A lot of life stuff happened this month, b...

WIP - Vector Animating

Was actually curious if the new update n CSP could also record the animation process and IT CAN so I'm posting this vid I recorded while trying to animate with vector layers! I've actually hit a lot of birds with one stone with this as I wanted to try out correction tools, vector, layering, and camera (and also going for a more anime-esque process in animating).

With this in mind, I wanted to keep the animation simple so I just worked with two keys:

WIP - Slayer Process

My first process vid that wasn't exported through the iPad (and also the reason why I haven't been posting WIP/process videos). Looking forward to that CSP update which allows canvas recording!

What's neat about this kind (recording from my computer) is that you get to see my dizzying lining process where I would rotate my canvas a lot to get the lines I want. I kinda skipped recording the sketch phase bit, but this is more or less how I go with my pieces.

The overall recorded tim...

MAGIC FOLKS - Sketches 19

Some stuff I've done on the side. Slowly but surely thinking about other characters and world building stuff but I think there's a lot to cover. I feel a lot of this would't see the light of day story-wise haha.

SKETCH THOUGHTS 71

A wip for a drawing and some sketches. I'll try to record my inking process for the first image since I'm not working on Artstudio Pro nor Procreate anymore, I may need to manually stitch together the video. Also I suppose to also capture the many times I zoom in and rotate my canvas to get the lines I want.

We'll see how that'll turn out though! I feel that I'll be a bit busy in the coming weeks!
