Get You Hammered

Last year I was honored to be a part of a Transformer's fan book project: a cocktail recipe zine. It was a fun time, even if COVD managed to put us in a little bit of a limbo. But the books have all been shipped out, so you guys get to see my piece ;)

I actually gave up BOTH Megatron and one Rodimus spots to pay homage to the mech who deserved so much better: my mans Breakdown.

Pour one out in his honor.

Best Boy In Transformers (Line Art Download)

It's gonna take a hot minute for me to be able to color this but have it anyway. 

I've been crunching some zine work this weekend, and earlier this week, so I haven't had much to show recently since they're still in publication process. But I wanted to toss this your way. Enjoy these lines, and I can't wait to see what you guys do with them. <3

To use the line art to color traditionally: print on your favorite paper or cardstock.

August Updates

Edit: I didn't originally include the price list link. Oops. It is now included where it should be.

Hey there, Stars.

I know my earlier post was a bit frantic, but to the point. I just wanted to take some time to elaborate on what's going on, and things moving forward!

First and foremost: I am in the process of  moving through out August and September. It's an exciting but very stressful venture, but I'm looking forward to the future and being able ...

Update

Everything is late again, and I'm really sorry.

I am having a hard time catching up, and it's been a huge guilt, and a huge stress. I sincerely apologize to push back openings and new tier dates yet again.

July sketches will be up next week.

Commission slots will not be open again until late August.

New Patreon tier has been pushed to September.

Thank you so much for your understanding.

Finished commission for Naffy of his boy Arandor! This was one of those pieces I had to force myself to stop working on, because I wasn't going to ever be satisfied with it. I'm still okay with how it turned out in the end. :)

Commission Queue: July

Hey guys! For the sake of transparency, I'm posting my commission queue for reference! I don't always work on them in this exact order, especially if there are a few traditional media commissions in line, and I'm not feeling like working on my computer that day. But for the most part, I try to keep them in the order they were taken. I also work on several at a time, so that I can work on a different stage, and not get too burnt out at a time, but also staggers my work flow! Below you can see ...

But it's time to start determining the next one! So as usual, the first poll is how do you want it done? Traditional media (markers, watercolor, ink, etc)???? Or Digital????

Skull Sticker with Proof

So... friends.... I took a leap. I ordered my first sticker design, and it's HOLOGRAPHIC. I had originally worked hard on another sticker design, but I couldn't get the dimensions right for this first run. Another idea struck me like lightening this evening, so I whipped this up really quick, and managed to make the order! The second image is the proof of what it's going to look like.

These will be in my shop soon, are 3" by 3" and will be $6 each! I'm super excited to get them in. Patr...

Hey everyone! The full version monthly line art download is now available for all $5 and up patrons! Thank you all so much for your patience while I wrapped this up.

Stars voted for a piece focusing on my OC, Rexian! Also known as my Space Elf Mecha Pilot. They're a deeply personal OC, so I'm so glad you guys wanted to see more of them.

This piece was also not what I had initially intended. I spent all month thumbnailing and mapping out a completely different concept. But the mome...

Bitter Sweet Farewell (June Line Art Download)

WHEW. Cutting it down to the wire today. I am so sorry this download is late. But I want to thank everyone who was at the stream yesterday helping me chug through it. I'm so happy with how this turned out. I'm still experimenting with my backgrounds, and this was one of the first landscapes I've done. I really hope it turns out as nice as it looks in my head. when I color it.

Updates: You Guys are Awesome

Hey Stars! Thank you so much for your patience. May really set me behind, and I didn't realize just *how* behind I was until we only have two days left of the month.

 Insert Shocked Emoji. 

I know part of it is my fault, as I kind of hyper focused on some commission work, and had a case of Poor Time Management while trying to play catch up. However! I plan on having everything in by at the very least, July 2. So we can go into the month of July with a (mostly) clean slat...
