May 2/June 1 Red Giants Sketches

Hey guys! The rest of May's sketches and the first batch of June's sketches are here! The rest of June's will be posted in just a few days. :) Enjoy!!

A'shev for Shieke
Shroud for Flex
Bubblegum Alun for Beilin
Mal for wreckerbooty @ Twitter
Takahane for Shieke

Another WIP dump!

Got the flats done for these pieces on stream yesterday, but I wanted to share them here. Today I'm working on some zine pieces that I can't show yet, but I wanted to drop these off for your enjoyment. ;)

I hope to have a lot of traditional art days next week, since I'll be home for an extra day next week! So be looking forward to that! As well as the lineart download. (I know ;A; It's a little late.)

Commission WIP

I am getting a little more ambitious with some of my backgrounds, and I'm not sure how much I regret it or not. But I really am enjoying how this particular commission is turning out.

Red Giants Update

Hey guys! If you're still waiting on your May sketch, it will be with the June batch. That being said, make sure you fill out the form by the end of this week so I can get your June Sketch by the end of the month!!

WIP Dump

Hey guys! I hope you're doing well! Sorry for the quiet the past week. I was out of town visiting my sister. But I also have been really grinding away at commissions. So have some Works in progress! Two commissions and a personal piece. Looking forward to seeing all of these finished.

My Art Process: Digital Work

Good morning Starshines! The earth says hello. 

It's been a while since I've had a blog post specifically for you guys, outlining my process on creating the pieces I create. I'm trying to do these a little more regularly, and I especially hope to have a few more on my current cosplay builds. But as I was streaming this past week, I decided it'd be a great idea to give you guys a breakdown of how I go about creating most of my digital work. This is a text and image heavy post, just ...

Soft Ram Boi

Drew a soft ram boy this week as part of a blog post I'm making on budget art supplies.

Stylia (Commission)

Finished commission for Austin and Sarah! I was super honored to draw Stylia again. What a fun character from all they've told me about her. 

This piece was actually done about 50% on stream. The lines flats, and start of the shading were done off screen, but it was fun to share the start and end of this piece with you guys in real time. 

I had a lot of fun with it! I hope you guys like the end result.

Red Giants June Form

Hey guys!

I still have two sketches to finish for last month, and then they'll be up. So sorry for the wait!

I'll be ready to start this month's queue next week, so get your entry in as soon as possible!

Here's the form! You know what to do. ;)

Shop Update

I've unfortunately had to unlist all the prints from my shop until I can find a better source for printing my work. I'm shipping out the ones already ordered, however, so please be expecting them soon.

Portrait Commissions Open!

Hey guys! I am opening up a couple of portrait commissions to help buffer for this month, and work on in between my larger commission projects. These are also slated for July completion!

As I've raised my prices, these are typically $50, but I'm offering them to Patrons for $45!

I have two additional slots available. Mecha and furry are okay! If interested, please let me know by commenting here or following up on Discord so I can send you the form. 

Thank you guys so mu...

May Red Giant Sketches Part 1

Hey guys! I'm so sorry this is late. The second batch is coming!

In all honesty, with the stress of the past two weeks and another exhausting inconvenience coming up just a couple days ago, I've been struggling getting things down. Nothing really looks right, even some simple sketches. -_- It's frustrating, but I can't force it. I'm pushing through, and I'm hoping next week will be better. 

Part two should be up soon! And then we can get cracking on June.

Nemis for Eaga...

Commission Queue: June

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 ...

Prints!!

Ready to be trimmed to size, and shipped out next week. No longer on pre-order status, and ready to ship! Make sure you grab yours!!

June Updates

Holy crap, it's June already and 2021 is halfway over. It's crazy to think about. But I appreciate you guys still being on this journey with me. Here are things to look forward to in the coming month!

Streaming -
The stream schedule for this month is up! Make sure you check out this post here. I'll update if anything changes. I'm blocking out Saturdays to do a little bit of gaming. Heck ye...

Deep Blue (Hi-Res Download)

I know, I couldn't wait, so I already posted the low res on Twitter.

But to make up for the late sketches, and sporadic activity the past two weeks, I'm blessing you all with a last minute *second* high res download for the month.

This piece is really special to me, and was a lot of fun to work on. I hope you all like it. It will also be available as a print next month. 

See you all in June <3

Red Giants Update

Hey Stars. Dude to a couple of family emergencies this month and some unexpected things, sketches may be a day or two late. But they will be delivered. Thank you guys so much for understanding, and all of your support.

June/July Illustration Poll 4: T-T-TIE BREAKER

Ha ha... like combo breaker.... but not... haha.... Yeah. ANYWAY

Several of the options for the poll was neck and neck. WILD. However the options with the most (by one!) were tied. So, vote below to decide. Some details on your options:

Space Elf Mecha Pilot: This is a character that's actually really dear to me. Rexian is a completely original character, and from an alien race I've taken a lot of great care to world build and design myself. They're also super self indulgent, but ...

June Stream Schedule

Hey guys! I know May was a mess, but JUNE. June is gonna be a fun month. Because... we actually have a steady stream schedule. HELL YEAH. We got art. We got games. From the dumb MMORPGs I play, to me making a fool of myself on Overwatch and Destiny and Warframe. Game days may have some guest appearances from friends!

One of my goals for this month too is to attempt at least one traditional art stream. Think I can do it?

All streams will be over on my 2021-05-28 14:13:13 +0000 UTC View Post

Moon Fox Stickers

Special preview for my stars. The layout for my first sticker design is done! All I have left is the colors. I have three specific colorways in mind for now:

Black, Red, Gold
CMYKitsune (i'm punny)
Vaporwave

I may consider other color ways after I get these out. I also plan to make a matching hannya mask set. After those, I think it'll be a good time to start my first round of Fandom stickers: Chocobo barding. :3c

Do you guys have any other designs you'd like ...

June/July Illustration Poll 3: A Deeper Subject

I sat here and tried to be clever with the title. My mom thinks I'm funny, at least. 

Well guys, you went and surprised me. An illustration of one of my original characters won out. By a staggering lead actually? Dang, y'all. 

The next question is narrowing it down to which of my original children to draw. I have a few in each of these categories, so I might draw straws at the end of it. WOMP. Help me out, guys?

Poll runs for two days, so make sure you get your vot...

Updates

Hi Stars, followers, and clients! I unfortunately have not been able to do much work this past week due to a series of family emergencies and other things that have come up. I apologize for the delays. I had hoped to have most of this batch of commissions done by early June, but it looks like things may be very delayed, but I am hoping early July.

Thank you guys so much for your patience and bearing with me! I greatly appreciate your support.

Work In Progress

A collection of some works in progress I have going. Some commissions, and some original work. I'm pretty happy with how a lot of these are turning out.

June/July Illustration Poll 2: Subject

Last poll was neck and neck, but it looks like another traditional piece won out!

Now you guys get to decide on the subject of the illustration! WHOO. (Notice I said subject and not fandom :3c) Each of these will branch into different polls, though. So stay tuned.

The first option is for me to get off my butt and draw one of my original characters. 

The second is an illustration of a completely new character design that will be available for "adoption" (purchase) for Pa...

June/July Illustration Poll 1: Medium

Hello Stars! It's time to determine the next illustration round! The first poll is pretty self explanatory. What medium should I use? A digital piece or another marker piece? Get your vote in quick as this will only last two days!

Moon Fox

Painting based on Japanese Kitsune masks! The design for this is going to be a series of stickers, but I decided to turn the sketch into a painting before digitizing it for sticker designs.

Acrylic on 8x10 canvas board!

I'm saving up some extra money to go visit my mom this month and my sister next month, so this piece is up for sale. As usual, Stars get first dibs! If not claimed by the end of the week, it will be going up in my shop.

$45 plus $10 shipping = $55 total.

May Illustration

Muffled The Boys Are Back In Town playing in the distance.

The poll results from March are in, and last month's line art is FINISHED! This was a bit of a challenge, trying to balance the black of their suits both against each other, and the darkness of the background. I had the brilliant idea to set it on the power company grounds, and then realized my mistake with ALL THE GREYS. Not going to lie, I think I used every single grey my markers had to offer. But I'm pretty okay with the res...

Alun and Cuh'a

Patreon, I'm not sure why you think I'm clever enough to come up with titles for everything I post. What do you think I am? A creative? 

Anyway, finished commission for Beilin! His character Alun, and my Cuh'a. Somehow I managed to perfectly encapsulate their relationship in this image. Maybe because I know it pretty well.

I only draw my own characters when someone pays me to. LOL. Whoops. Also big shout out to everyone who came by to watch me work on this on stream!

Shadows in the City

I FINISHED IT! A long overdue commission for a guildmate in my gaming guild. His tabaxi, Proudflame! I am pretty proud of how this turned out. I got a little ambitious with the background, but it was a fun experiment and learning experience! My favorite part is the neon glow. :)
