Doodles, November 25th - December 1st

More doodles. Seems like I mainly focus on character design and stylization practice when I doodle. I should try more pose and environment stuff.

Time to start posting here again 😤

Started the new job! It's going alright so far!
It's a little exhausting, since I work night shift from 4pm to 2:30am Monday - Thursday, but I think I'm getting the hang of it :)
It'll be great for helping me learn how to manage my free time better, since I have a lot less of it now, lol.
Anyway, I want to start posting stuff here again!
I'm thinking Patreon will be my "behind the scenes" area where I put all the doodles and WIPs that I don't put on my socials. Most of my final pi...

GOOD NEWS!

I'll keep this short and easy to read.
Instead of drawing and posting, I've been looking for a job.
I need a more consistent source of income than commissions and Patreon.
I finally have a job! Just accepted the offer yesterday!
I'm supposed to start November 17th.
Thank you to you supporters who stayed even though I was gone!
You helped me make enough for rent when I was running out of money!
I plan to come back and post more here soon, now that I don't have to worry abo...

UPDATE: Been busy lately

Here are a few doodles I've done in my spare time recently to practice the kind of "look" I like. Kind of a mix between Art Deco and Mid-century modern looks.

Sorry I haven't posted anything for a few weeks. I've been receiving several paying art-related jobs, so those have been my top priority.
In the near future, like before the end of the month, I'm planning to get an actual day job. I've decided that I should not depend of drawing to be my main source of income. It scatters my t...

UPDATE: This week, I got WORK

Hello Patrons!
I explained before that I've been alternating back and forth between commission-focused and comic-focused weeks.
This week will be a bit different, because I've recently accepted several paying art "gigs", so those will be my top priority this week. So I won't have as much time to work on comics.
If I post anything here, it might just be simpler stuff, like practice doodles and simple character drawings.

A couple other thoughts:

I've been thinking I migh...

A Small Update

I'm not sure if I've stated this directly, but currently the way I do things is alternate between comic-focused weeks, and commission-focused weeks. So that explains why there are large gaps between posts here sometimes :P

I'm wondering if it could be good to spread things out a bit more, like maybe one day a week is dedicated commission day, and one day a week is dedicated comic day, or something like that.
I dunno, just more trial and error, seeing what works better, and what does...

Page 6 Complete!

This one went rather quickly and smoothly!
Maybe it was because I thumbnailed it out on paper first. That gave me a good jumpstart.

Page 5 WIP

I wasn't quite as productive as I would've liked today, but I still made some progress!

Page 4 is done!

This one was a bit tougher, since there's more emphasis on the environment.
And it took lots of preparation because I had to come up with designs for both the station and the van that I was happy with :P

PROJECT SLICK COMIC BEGINNING THIS WEEK

This week, I will be completing and posting the first three pages of a 16-page Project Slick story!

I've already outlined the "story beat" that will happen on each page, and I've scripted out the first three pages, so tomorrow, I'll get page one drawn and posted.

This is HUGE for me. It's the farthest I've ever gotten with Project Slick, putting the characters in an actual STORY. FINALLY 😤

I will be posting them to the Behind the Scenes tier.

3-Character Commissions!

Complete! American Dragon: Jake Long

All done with this request!
Just have two more to do. I'll get those finished as soon as I can.
Next week, I'm opening up commissions again, so that will be my top priority for a while, but then I'll be back to focusing on fan art and Slick stuff 👍

I NEED AT LEAST 6 PEOPLE TO ANSWER THIS QUESTION

I'm really trying to take my Patreon projects and marketing more seriously, so I want to know what people are interested in seeing me make.

What do you want me to post here?

Done with commissions! Now for some Patreon projects.

SUPER proud of myself for getting 12 commissions done in just 2 days ^^
Now that I have tons of spare time, I'm gonna work on some ideas I've had recently!

To start, I've been wanting to make the fish from Wii Play into characters. Here's my progress on that :)

UPDATE: There's definitely a lot of trial and error going on right now 😖

(Pictured above: A handful of drawings I did as college assignments)

I'll start out by saying I feel SO BAD when I keep seeing people unsubscribe due to my inconsistent posting lately.
I'm really sorry guys, I'm still getting things figured out.
I make promises, thinking they're totally doable, then I let other things distract me, or I learn I didn't have as much energy as I thought I did, and the thing I promised to do never gets posted, and I leave people feeling cheated and d...
