After I drew Twilight and posted, I had the bug to draw Rarity, then I drew Applejack... then it got too late for me to draw the rest so, here's at least three of em. Plus a lil side of Purple Girlfriends because even after all of these years, I still find myself very fond of the pairing.
Been a long while since I've done any fanart since my hiatus, been longer since I've drawn MLP outside commission work. It was... fun! Might have to do this again at some point ...

I dunno what hit me, but I was struck with the sudden urge to draw MLP, so who better to draw than my favorite character of all time from the show?? :)

Intended Dialogue:
Adagio (siren monster): Mm. Curious little thing. You don't cower before your end?
Tech (the stallion): Are you kidding me?! YOU'RE GORGEOUS!!!
Another commission WIP since I've been quite busy with them, and like I mentioned in the previous one they'd work relatively well as the occasional freebie for anyone who visits my Patreon + a lil sneak peek into my process!

Another landscape sketch! Left is the ref image, right is my speedpaint. :)
This one was an exercise of trying to keep the energy of the image without trying to be super realistic. In the end I figured out a pretty neat way of painting trees is from dark to light; painting the dark silhouette of the shapes I wanted then using a lighter local color to give it detail and depth.
The overall goals of these paintings is learning how to match the energy of the reference image with...

I've shied away from posting commissions on my Patreon since I wanted it to be mainly focused on my own personal projects, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to show off what I'm currently workin' on as freebies! :>
This is a large illustration commission I'm working on for the wonderful WitchWay, who was kind enough to ask me to add my own OCs into the illustration as cameos! You may spot a big ol Dragonborn and his lil daughter dining amongst the happy customers of the joint. :>

A very small preview of the start of what I'm hoping is my next original project!
I love Feathers and Flowers, but I've long decided to try making that something of a novel/written work (with some art thrown in every now and then), and truth be told I'm excited for it but there's still a part of me that screams to make something completely new.
An old idea I had from years ago involved creating personal retellings of known fairytales, and I figured maybe it'd be a go...

I haven't forgotten this lil story! :)
I had to take an extensive break from creating fanart for my own wellbeing (mainly cuz I placed way too much pressure on myself to create something for social media more than for my personal enjoyment), and I won't lie there's a lot of fanart and headcanons I likely won't return to. But the Super Mario AU was a lot of fun, and I would like to continue it, though it may see a lot of sizing down and simplifications. If nothing else, I wanna at least ...

More concept work for Feathers and Flowers, this time of the rough sketch for Kaela's design exploration! I did a lot of back and forth with what I wanted to do with her design, especially to try and make her familiar to her original design while giving her new elements. Some of the recent sketches I did of her just didn't feel like her, but I think this is going into a direction I want. Finally.
What seemed to help was the return of her long hair and focusing more on ...

Rough sketch for the exploration page of Mal! With me being in the throws of what's basically the concept stage, I find I really need some art that shows off the new designs/tweaked designs of the characters. That, and I think I just need to draw them for the sake of it, because I can't tell you how RUSTY I feel drawing my gals and I really need to get comfortable with repeatedly drawing them again. ;w;
Anyway, this is meant to mirror the sketch page I did for Mal's hu...

Some concept art for Feathers and Flowers!
A quick comparison of Mal (the big dark one) vs Evangeline (smol light one); it's half because I wanted to show the difference between them in their "monster forms", and half because I needed a visual base to work off of when conceptualizing their respective races.
Mal is a Spirit, or this world's version of a divine being. Evangeline is a Spiritov, a race of people who are of Spiritual blood, but are entirely mortal. Some lore info on th...

Some headshots I did for two of our players in the campaign I'm in with the homies! The first is of Daeva, our tanky paladin. The second is of our very clever, rogue-ish bard, Ura.
The dialogue in each has been something the character's actually said in the campaign at least once. Daeva has never experienced a birthday party due to her upbringing thus has no real idea of what one is. Ura on the other hand, is an adult kobold, but is often mistaken as a child dragonborn. She has used tha...

Mockup and rough design for my monthly newsletters!
I have the idea that they'll be season themed (winter, fall, spring, summer), so while the month and text will change the splash art behind it won't until a new season hits. That way I get unique looking newsletters without having to work too hard to make every one of them unique outside the text.
These are intended to be free for the public to see, and so will be posted on all of my socials with the exception of maybe I...

First piece of 2024! Left is the ref image, right is my sketchpaint. :)
One of my goals for this year is to paint landscapes more, both digitally and traditionally, so I've challenged myself to do 1-hour sketches of whatever landscape I come across at least once a month.
It's largely just to give myself something to paint where I don't have to think so hard to do so; just paint what I see. I also have the idea to offer them in my newsletters as free wallpapers, and perhaps s...

Some super quick sketches I did for Kaela in the updated version of Feathers and Flowers! I'm still exploring her look a bit, particularly her build since she's no longer just the small one of the group. I'm leaning toward "soft-faced woman with guns of steel"; probably a little softened overall due to the slightly easier lifestyle she's taken, but nonetheless built like a weapon.
ANYWAY! Here's some lore to share :>

One of my ambitions for 2024 is to update my Patreon with some TLC and a fresh coat of paint. One such thing is to lock in a more central theme for promo art and such, and I LOVE monsters and lore and food. So that's what I'm gonna make!
Before I get to work on the new art (stuff like Tier Badge art, banner, Thank You message art, so on) I first needed to get a concrete design for the creatures that'll be the subject of the theme, and who better than to use my own sona as a test subject...

With the year slowly but surely coming to an end, I usually take the couple of weeks it takes to get to Jan 1st to reflect on how the year as a whole turned out.
Aaaaand I gotta say, 2023 somehow became the roughest year I've had the pleasure and displeasure of experiencing. I might write a long-winded reflection thing when 2024 arrives, but for now the short of it is I'm callin' this year the Year of Tears. I've cried more in 2023 than I ever have in all my years of living. Many of the...

I'm pretty sure I've never actually shown these before, so here they are now! Earlier in the year I had the idea to create packs of random designs for anyone to be able to color and use however they wanted. This was my first attempt at that, but I ended up not lining them under the notion that they weren't good enough to justify making them Pay 2 Use.
I never said I was very smart ;w;
SO! I've changed my mind. I will be cleaning these up and lining them properly, and releasing the...

A whole bunch of pen sketches I did in my sketchbook while revisiting Mal's design! The leading headshot sketch is the direction I ended up going with for the design moving forward, but I did a whole assload of roughs and variations to find the look I wanted for her.
It's largely because, now that Mal officially has a human form, I wanted her Spirit form to look far less human without going too much into giant creature territory that her full monster form has. This is basically...

Welp. I'm back on my bullshit. ;w;
Feathers and Flowers got a setting/story overhaul recently! Most of the main story beats remain basically the same, but the characters are getting more focus than the overarching plot is, so this revision is moreso about making the characters the priority and not the main plot stuff going on. Their personal stories should hopefully carry the main plot and whatnot.
I was always so worried about it being too predictable or too "cringe". Bu...
