The testrun I did for what I'm gonna be offering as a "pay to use"! For patreon supporters though, these will simply be free to use at the tiers $20 and up, though I think since this one's a test run I may just make this one free in general. I'm not sure yet. :U
But yeah! Basically my answer to the shift of making more merch. Prints and buttons and the like I have experience with, but they never quite resonated with me. I mainly have a hard time figuring out what to make in terms of ful...

I debated pretty hard on showing this off, what with the worry of spoiling stuff for the story of Feathers and Flowers. But I've gotten to a point where I think sharing any of my ideas is better than holding them close to my chest, especially because recently I've been very burnt out (hence the lack of art posts and headcanons as of late). I'll talk a bit at length on that in a dedicated text post but for now, some lorebits!
Part of my past gripes with the F&F story is that...

I'm currently in the midst of rewriting some of the story beats and characterizations for my oc project Feathers and Flowers!
This is of Evangeline, the girl who is a Witch in hiding. For those who need a refresher, "Witches" in this world is the term for a race of humans who hold moderate magical power. Given the history with Spirits and the legends of how Witches came to be in the first place (it is believed they are a product of a Spirit and Human coupling), Witches aren't really vie...

The WIP of a short comic page I wanna finish here soon for the campaign I'm in with the squad!
For context:
After a harrowing battle with a swarm of rats (I'll tell ya'll later), a high speed goose chase for a runaway cart, and lots of snooping, the gang found themselves inside a quaint bakery in the Upper City of Baldur's Gate during our investigations. There were rumors about something fishy goin' on with it; townspeople were gossiping about how the food was making people very i...

In our campaign, we made it to the final area of the first chapter, Vanthampur's manor. While there, the group had to fight our way thr...

GUESS WHO STARTED WATCHING GARGOYLES WITH THE DISCORD CREW. THIS BITCH.
And man, the show is so fucking good, I was invested the entire time and we watched 5 episodes straight. We're gonna be having watch parties of the show every other Thursday, and I'm so excited to finally get the complete refresher because I only remember so much of the show from when I saw it as a kid!
But ye! It inspired me to draw this; an experiment that went a little outta hand, but I'm glad it d...

More WIPS for Mal's redesign! :) Did quite a few tweaks to the base sketch of her "half" form, and revisited her "full spirit" form. At some point I'm gonna have to actually give these forms names so I don't flip flop on them so much. :/
At any rate, some personal thoughts on the design; I'm so glad I revisited it. She feels so much closer to the actual vision I have of her in my head this time around. I also really like how differently she finally looks in her "Half P...

Just a lil somethin' somethin' I whipped up on a whim! I've been thinking a whole lot about my oc project Feathers and Flowers. I never lost interest in it, but I'll admit that I did fall a little out of touch with some of the details of the story and lore. Mainly because I either "grew" out of some of the ideas, or some of them just didn't feel like it really fit the direction I wanted to go. So, I figured maybe it's high time to start doing a bit of cleanin' up on the lore...

Figured I'd go ahead and get started on some of the concept art for the AU! I don't think I'll clean the rest of them to the extent I have Demona (took a little too long), but I like how she came out all the same. :)
So, design notes: I do remember that Gargoyles have super-enhanced healing, specifically when in their stone sleep. Demona is no different, though I do like to think the Gargoyles sometimes can, and do, end up with scars regardless of their healing capabilities. Specificall...

Got a good amount of linework done; these two in specific are ready for color. The last one is what's taking me the longest since it has all of the villains together in a singular shot. ;_; In addition, I'm gonna start working on some concept art for the Gargoyles AU.

"--Don't you understand? The humans took everything from me, and they have only grown worse. One so-called 'good' human can't undo that. They are never good."
"But they can be if you just let them!" Angela growls, flailing her talons out to her sides in a wide gesture around the city. "Mother, haven't you ever thought that maybe not all humans are bad? That they and gargoyle are more alike than you believe? You've been around for years

Melon realizes far too late that he and Mario walked straight into an ambush. He's left beaten, bruised, and down in a watery pit, unable to help while the dastardly Wart and his motely crew make off with the terrified child in hand. :(

Melon slows his gallop to a halt once he reached the break through the trees, and feels a strange sense of Déjà vu; he stood on this particular cliff edge of the island in what feels like ages, but familiarity settles in all the same. He looks out over the horizon into the vast open expanse, down at his map. Up, down, then up again.
As marked, the little human village is merely a day's trip away. Unlike the first time he searched for it on his favorite cliff-- with the jungles and val...

Rough sketch of a lil something I'm working on for Gargoyles again! Still unsure of the overarching plot of the AU, but the basic idea is that it focuses on the "what if" of Demona actually achieving redemption. I always figured she was capable of it in canon, but was ultimately too prideful and blinded by rage to do any changing for the better. So this AU will explore that possibility!
The dialogue and scenario written below was entirely a spur of the moment and may very well change, b...

It's been a long day, and Melon is exhausted. Ever since escaping Hookbill and those pesky Lakitus, he and Mario had been on the move almost non-stop, taking advantage of the Super Star Fruit's power to cover more distance. But it had to wear off eventually, with Mario burping off the remnant of the magic before they slowly--but surely- sunk all the way back to the forest floor and in the middle of the Sluggy Snowdrift Mountains.
As soon as they touched ground a blizzard fell u...

"By the moon we glide under, I despise you, Detective," Demona hisses, hefting the woman up by the wrists as if she weighed nothing. She yanks her close and bares her teeth in clear threat.
"Thank whatever gods you pray to I value my daughter's wishes. Otherwise, you'd be gutted like a fish by now."
"Yet after all this time I'm still here. Alive... with barely a scratch on me. Angela has nothing to do with that, now does she?" Elisa hums, and Demona visibly b...

BOOM!
The explosion of Hookbill the Horrible's giant shell shatters the sky and leave's Melon's ears ringing. All at once there's chaos; Hookbill himself-- once a giant terror, and now shrunken down to a pitiful koopa-- plummets off the platform they battled on. Lakitus fill the sky of their lair in a frenzy, shouting in panic and split between fleeing, or diving to try and grab their boss mid-fall. There are giant shell fragments everywhere, splintering like shooting s...

As Melon crests the cliffs of Skelly Grove, he and Mario finally catch sight of their destination; a tiny little village just off the horizon, beyond the ocean. Melon is relieved they've finally made it, but also very sad that he will soon have to part with his young charge. But as he reflects on their long journey, he doesn't seem to hear Mario's growing panic, nor notices the ominous shadow that closes in against the sun...

Guess who saw the Super Mario movie! It was exactly the kind of movie I wanted to see out of the franchise, frankly; the plot wasn't very deep, but in turn the movie was very easy to digest and it was extremely fun. I had a great time from start to finish! Not to mention the nuggets of worldbuilding it received, so I'm very interested in that. :)
