Patreon update!

Hey ya'll, just wanted to give a very quick update about the last reward scheduling and some upcoming uploads!

Aight so first things first, scheduling for the patreon rewards.

The current plan is for me to focus most of my energy on them as soon as I finish the last of my commissions. I'm at the end of the commission queue now and it'll be done by the first week of April, and after probably a week to allow some rest I'ma get right to it. I do wanna say that, while I may end up str...

Change of plan (patreon rework coming in March)

Heyooooooo! I'm a little late in doing this and for that I apologize, but I've thought about it some more and I while I mentioned in the previous post I wanted to give another round of reward art, I think I should make February the last reward month. I already have a quite a few of them to schedule and a little over half are still being piggy-banked, and I think it'd just be overall a smarter idea to deal with these immediately instead of just waiting for April to roll around. I won'...

Patreon Change announcement

I've been sitting on this decision and turning it around in my head for the past month or so, but after weighing the pros and cons and just overall what I want, I think it's about time I made this announcement now that I've come to a decision.

April 2020 will be the last month I'll be dishing out art-based awards. I'm gonna be totally honest, I think I underestimated the amount of work keeping up with patreon rewards would be on top of creating content and full-timing commissions, and w...

PB Reward: Don't Be Late

 "Meet me on the old beaten path in the wood; the lights will lead you there. I expect you to bring what we've negotiated. And please. Don't be late." 

Haven't uploaded rewards in a little while, so here's one! This one's a Piggy-Bank reward for ChrisJDT of his really cool character Gabriel! I had a lot of fun with this one, and it got to a point where I had to do a small blurb of possible dialogue for him in this situatio...

FnF: Mal character sheet

Last but not least is the character who jumpstarted this whole project to begin with: Mal!

Name: Mal
Age: ???
Birthday (given by Kaela): October 12th
Info: Mal is a Spirit, a race of supernatural beings with a deep connection with the mortal realm. Aloof and confident, her demeanor could lead people to thinking she’s cold, but this is untrue and Mal isn’t unkind. Despite her capacity to get frustrated ...

FnF: Evangeline character sheet

Next up we have the character who honestly has given me more challenges to figure out before finally settling on a story line that feels like it fits, Evangeline!

------

Name: Evangeline Bella Moore
Age: 23
Birthday: January 1st
Info: Intelligent, polite, hardworking and punctual, Evangeline is often the star pupil in her classes. Evangeline can be bossy and has very little tolerance for wh...

FnF: Sakura character sheet

Up next is quite possibly the current fan-favorite of the main cast, Sakura!

------

Name: Sakura Valentina Hikaru Guerrero
Age: 21
Birthday: July 28th
Info: Sakura can be easily likened to an excitable puppy: loud, outgoing, energetic, and very friendly. She’s every bit a people person and enjoys meeting new potential friends, but her excitability tends to lead her into bein...

FnF: Kaela character sheet

Decided to officially introduce the characters one by one given how long the last post would've been if I'd done so there! <: Alllrighty, so first off let's start with one of the characters that got me started into working on this story in the first place: Kaela!

Name: Mikaela Malie Rose
Age: 25
Birthday: March 19th
Info:  Soft-spoken, kind, a tiny bit shy, and very unconfrontational, Mikaela ...

Feathers and Flowers: Main Cast

I've been rather quiet on the original/fanart work front 'round here, so I'm gonna be posting up a bunch of the stuff I've done the past while to catch my patreon up to where I currently am!

For those of you who follow me on DA and Tumblr, you'll probably recognize this. These gals are the main characters for an original story I'm working on called Feathers and Flowers. The story is slice-of-life and follows the girls in their lives as they tackle a whole slew of obstacles, including co...

Hiatus and December reward Call-in

Heyooooooooooooooooooooooooo! I wanted to apologize for the silence on my end here ya'll; I'm currently in the midst of a commission hiatus. Long story short, I hadn't been able to do anything for myself for months, not to mention no breaks throughout those months, and I think that ended up affecting me far more than anticipated, because I ended up burnt out. I could barely motivate myself to do a commission and I was worried that would effect the quality of it, hence the hiatus I'm currently...

Reward stream schedule

All of this week, save for today, will be focused on the completion of the rewards for folks who wanted to see them during stream. SO. Here's the schedule as it currently is: depending on how fast I'm able to work without wearing myself out it might change up a bit, but otherwise it'll be as follows! <:

Saturday Short Tips suggestions wanted!

Heyoooooo ya'll! So I just recently reached 45 supporters here on Patreon and wanted to say thank you so much! ^.^

What that means is I'm gonna start with the next goal now that it's been reached, and that's Saturday Short Tips being a thing again. So, because of that, I'd like to hear what ya'll would like it to be about?

Is there anything you'd like to see me do this page on? Character design aspects, stages of sketching, shading, thumbnailing? Whatever it may be, lemme know! &l...

iBadge reward (Piggy Bank)

Finished reward for iBadge of their character Livia! I had the pleasure of designing this sassy lady for them and this is the result! I'm pretty happy with it, especially the expressions <:

Thank you so much for your support, iBadge! ^.^

Draconekiss Reward (Piggy bank)

Finished Piggy-Bank reward for Draconekiss! I was tasked with designing a Twili/Zora oc for them and this was the ending result; very proud of it! ^.^ I think I'll be uploading finished rewards individually instead of trying to mass upload them like I have in the past. O:

At any rate, thank you so much for your support Dracon! uwu

LoZ: Impa WIP

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ye, back at it again! a sneak peak of the next headcanon installment after god knows how long. The original Impa! I might tweak her proportions some more here and there and maybe change the pose a little more but I like how she came out overall; just gotta get her lined and colored. <: She'll be joined by Fierce Deity Link too, so keep an eye open for a WIP shot of that too! O:

October Rewards Call-in!

Allllllllllllllllllllllrighty! So I'm pretty sure I've touched base with most, if not all, of yas regarding your October reward and what you'd like for it, but just in case I missed someone in the fray, now's a good time for ya to give me the heads up with what you'd like for your reward! October's gonna be.... ah. Crazy is a good word, especially with the way the schedule's lookin', but I'm excited for it regardless! Which reminds me!

I don't quite remember if I asked everyone...

Groovin Squirtle ref

A real quick and rough turnaround I did of a Squirtle for a very short animation exercise I'd like to finally finish in the future! o3o

Reward Changes now in effect!

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLRIGHTY! I went ahead and put into effect the new reward choices and options, as well as added 2 new tiers! Tier 2 is now an Icon Commission tier and Tier 5 is the Rough Design/Reference commission tier! You can see them all now in the tier description boxes or you can take a looksie at the Tier Breakdown page here:

Reward Changes a-comin'!

Allllllllllrighty, so a quick update for everyone! Sometime either this weekend or next weekend, I will be implementing new changes to the reward tiers that I think will be more beneficial to myself and everyone involved! I figured I should actually announce it before I did anything, so here's said announcement.

-So first thing's first: Tiers 5 and 6 will be deleted. As much as I really wanted to believe I could handle the workload, with the increase of commissions I don't think it's re...

Malir (My Epic Quest character)

I really need to upload more stuff here so I'll get back to it with this! In the midst of my hiatus, I did a lot of thinking about my current lifestyle and figured, for my own health and for the sake of my wrist, I really need to get back into working out and getting back in shape. So I actually really enjoy working out, but for some reason my motivation to actually do it was at a low? So I'm trying something entirely new to get that motivation back and with my first week done and moving into...

Earthsong Redesign

In the midst of my short hiatus, I figured it'd be nice to at least post somethin' I had started on a little while ago!

I have a handful of OCs but I barely ever do anything with them, something I'd love to change in the future. But first, I needed to solidify my characters' appearances far more than what they were so I had decided a while ago to go back and redesign them, with Earthsong being the first!

This is only the very first pass so it's highly subject to change, but I do l...

Update post!

Time for a quick update post to keep ya'll in the loop! <:

So first off, rewards! I'm slowly but surely working through everyone's rewards; I got a little over half of the Tier 1 and 2 rewards done and will be making my way to the Tier 3-6 soon!

It's going slower than normal due to my wrist; it's been hard to draw lately because of it so I'm trying to pace myself through it, but I haven't really been able to draw much this week. :C I think I might just go ahead and take a break...

Back from Bronycon!

Aight aight so I'm back from Bronycon! And I gotta say, it was one hell of a convention; it was always fun but this one was far more than I could have ever anticipated. I got to meet so many new and amazing people and everyone was so nice, and I managed to sell out of nearly all of my stock! So all around a very, very good sendoff to one of my favorite conventions. <:

But I'm not really here to talk about that! My return means I'll be getting to work on the rewards for this month and...

Twilight Realm (Attempt 3)

My third attempt at the Twilight Realm, and an attempt I'm actually relatively happy with! It could use some work and better planning as far as design goes but I don't think my skill in BG work is quite advanced enough for it yet, but I'm still pretty proud of the overall result finally. I wanted the Twilight Realm to look far more welcoming and magical in comparison to the dark and isolated look it had in the Twilight Princess game, which I understand why it looked the way it did bu...

Twilight Realm (attempt 2)

An attempt at a color study for the Twilight Realm for my LoZ headcanon.

I'm honestly a little frustrated with this one, but this is probably because I'm going in no particular direction without knowing what I'm fully going for aside from the bare bones idea of it. It's a learning experience though and I at least think I have a better idea of what I want outta it the next time I give this piece a try.

I was gonna delete it honestly but, there are some elements in it I like (like t...

LoZ sketch: Twilight Realm

A real quick grayscale sketch I did last night before bed: how I see the Twilight Realm in LoZ. There isn't much visual wise as far as the canon goes and, in TP, the Twilight Realm is.... well. Underwhelming. I think it's just the limitations of technology of that time but like still, it was pretty poor in comparison to the rest of the game.

So I'm trying to see if I can make it at least a little more visually interesting! Wish me luck on that front. o3o

If you need a little more ...

August Rewards Reminder + Reward upgrade options?

Just giving everyone a second reminder in case they didn't see the previous one, but the reward month of August is coming up so if you have access to a reward based on your tier of pledge and you'd like to cash it in for this month, be sure to let me know if you haven't already!

Speaking of rewards though, I'd like to let ya'll know that this reward month is the start of some of the bigger rewards I'll have to do (like the character designs/concept art), so with that plus the convention...

Best Pony! Series (New additions!)

These gals were so frequently requested I just doubled down to add them in the collection for Bronycon. It's pretty last minute but thankfully they're relatively simple to work on, so I got them done on time! <:

August Reward Month

Alrighty, August is coming in fast, so that means it's about time for me to start collecting those reward requests from ya'll! This is starting a bit on the early side but that's mainly because I'm gonna be in and out of town for the next couple of weeks: I'll be attending 2 different conventions back to back so I'll be a bit on the busy side for a little while there! Because of that I might have to do rewards off-stream instead of during, but they will be done, no ifs, ands, or buts...

LoZ HC: GERUDO GERUDO GERUDO

 I had an influx of questions regarding my headcanon on Gerudo over on my tumblr, one of which being what a Gerudo could look like depending on their parentage. So I did this! A whole bunch of Gerudo ladies showing off the common physical traits they have based on their parentage. This makes a whole lot more sense if you know the headcanon behind it though, so I'll use this opportunity to go into depth. Here we go! (PS: take a shot for every time you see the word "gerudo". ( ͡° ͜...
