The ROCKETTES!

The finished product of the poster I showed the WIP of a little while ago! owo

Introducing the hopeful band in the Super Mario AU, the Rockettes!

You have Bowsette as your bassist and lead singer, Goombette as the drummer (and occasional costume designer), Chompette as the guitarist and backup vocals, and Vivian that doubles as band manager and, many cases, the Special Effects... specialist. Currently they're mostly hopping from gig to gig, hoping to spread their ...

The pleasure is mine ',;) (Super Mario)

And then they smashed! The End! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

Nah but for real; this was one of the sketches I did for October's SotM and I liked it so much I decided to clean it up and slap some colors on it! owo

For context: Peach has just recently been crowned queen in this instance. Technically she is queen in the AU, she just refuses to be called "queen" and prefers the moniker  of "princess". It's one of the ways she tries to hold on hope that her father will recover from his ...

Once upon a Time (October SotM)

Once upon a time, Bowser was as happy as he could be. And one day, he'll once again find that happiness. uwu

The winner of October's Sketch of the Month is a sweet moment between Bowser and Chai, suggested by Doxiedreg, Kyrit, and 2021-10-18 16:06:00 +0000 UTC View Post

Nin reporting for duty! (Super Mario AU)

So, when I discovered that an Shibe Nintendog made a canonically appearance in Super Mario Odyssey I just had to incorporate them into the AU!

I'd like ya'll to meet Nin, the private detective of Metro Kingdom! He isn't technically a CASO (Council Alliance Special Operations) affiliate but he works closely with the organization, often tasked with investigating disappearances they can't actively work with. This happens often enough due to CASO agents often being tasked with conf...

Art Reward Call Inbound!

Allllrighty ya'll, it's been about a month and is gonna reach month 2 when November 1st rolls around so I wanna get a head start on those art rewards! :) 

How this'll work is, like I'm doing now, I'll post up a general heads-up where I'll be asking everyone who's eligible for an art reward to keep on the lookout for a DM from me soon via Patreon! 

Don't worry about forgetting, I'll message you when I'm ready to get those refs and info!

Ask the Character 1: Wolf's Encounter

The completed version of the very first Ask the Character! I chose the question generously provided by Sylveon17, who asked the rough and scrappy Wolf the Wooloo (from my Pokemon story) what was the biggest thing she's ever fought and won against.

Even though she doesn't know Torch is...

A good past (WIP)

AWWWWW YEAH! So Bowser and Chai won SotM by a landslide, so here's a quick sneak peek of its progress! The lineart is completed, I just need to go in and paint the BG and the characters before it's done! ^.^

For a bit of context, this depicts Bowser and Chai possibly during their wedding, or just a random instance where they finally have some time to relax and enjoy each other's company without the weight of the kingdom bearing down on them. The two of them were very happy with...

F&F: Prologue thumbnails

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-EEE. I am now officially beginning work on Feathers and Flowers! as in the actual story portion and my god ya'll I'm super excited!! owo I've held off in the past in trying to do anything like this because of my tendency to try and get everything perfect but fuck it man, we're doing this. And with that I'd like to show ya'll the thumbnails of the title art for the first 5 episodes of Feathers and Flowers!

I'm very proud of the results thus far ...

Feathers and Flowers: Sneak Peek!

Instead of a visual WIP, have an inside look of the F&F development! owo

I've gotten a good chunk of the world development for Feathers and Flowers done!! Lore that's important for the first season of F&F is basically finished, and now I'm finally at a point where I can really focus on the art and story aspect of it! I think my current plan is to complete them in fives: like work on and complete 5 episodes before I begin uploading them and all of that. I'd like for Patreon to be...

Prep for Pride (F&F)

IT'S DONE! owo

The girls getting ready for a very special event in the town :)

In the F&F lore Pride does exist in a manner of speaking, but not quite as we know it since the circumstances of it becoming a thing at all is very different. In the F&F universe discrimination towards LGBTQ+ never actually got a chance to happen thanks to very early influence and intervention from Spirits, so sexuality and gender are a non-issue. You are who you are, end of story.

Companions! (HC)

Everyone, meet the dino friends of the Super Mario gang! :)

I know it's mainly because Mario is the main character and therefore needs a "trusty steed" of sorts, I.E Yoshi, but there are times where I wished Luigi and Peach had their own buddies, so that's exactly what I did here! Birdetta is Peach's companion, Peppers is Luigi's, and of course Yoshi is Mario's. uwu

Yoshi follows Mario around and joins him on his adventures, thereby making him a Spec-Op of the Mus...

Icon Suggestions!

Currently working on those SotM sketches (I'll upload all the ones I do Saturday or Sunday), so in the meantime I'd love ya'lls suggestions for what I can draw for exclusive Discord emojis for the community server! owo I haven't quite decided if they were gonna be of my patreon mascot Boof, or if it should be a variety of characters from the fandoms I create from? What do ya'll think? O:

And what sort of expressions would you like to see for the emojis? The plan as of right now is to ma...

Prep for Pride! (WIP)

A sketch I initially started when Pride month rolled around, but I'm only just now really putting my back into it! It took me weeks of on-and-off work on this but I've finally have all the girls lined and ready for color! Group drawings are surprisingly hard ;w;

Anyway, the gals rep the flags that best represents them! :)

Patreon Changes now in effect!

Heyoooooo you all! I wanted to give everyone the headsup that the tier changes are now in effect!

Patreon tiers have officially been changed to include all of the new perks, as well as adding the two brand new tiers! While I will announce the changes publicly sometime in the next couple of weeks, and the patreon itself may not seem to run differently, these changes will go into effect immediately starting Monday, meaning anyone who pledges to the new art reward tiers can expect their fi...

F&F: Kaela's Farm (concept art)

More concept art for Feathers and Flowers! I figured it'd make my life so much easier if I had some environmental concepts to look at when I write, if only so I have continuity and not like, have to guess the framework of important locations every time I use them in the story. owo So, here's the first of a few environment sketches I hope to work on, this one featuring Kaela's farm!

Man-made structure isn't my strongsuit, but I think I'm rather pleased with the overall outcome. I worried...

King Boo (HC)

The finished design for King Boo in the Super Mario AU! owo


King Boo in this AU isn't a villain and instead a god; the god of death to be specific. Like all gods (for example, Rosalina), he has little spirits to help him with his job, which is what the regular Boos are; instead of the souls of the dead, they are his little helpers who aid in ferrying the recently deceased to Evershade Valley.

As the creator of Boos, he is effectively their "father", and he treats them a...

F&F: Li and Terra (Concept art)

I've been hard at work with writing up the lore for Feathers and Flowers! Pretty soon I'll be going into a little more concept art for the characters that need it and some concepts for environment so I have a visual to work with when I write. :) At any rate, here's one such concept art!

The first pass of support characters Li and Terra!

Terra is 24, the team captain of the Earthball team (the sport Sakura plays) and one of Sakura's buds. They're hardworking, no-nonsense, and can g...

Sketch Comics question!

Heyyy so I had a quick question for everyone regarding art content! As far as comics go, do ya'll mind if I post sketched comics and mark it as "completed", or would you rather wait for a completely cleaned up and colored version of the comic? I ask because if I post more sketched comics, I'd be able to get more content out to ya'll much faster. It can also come with the addition of being added to "Sketch of the Month", in which if enough folks vote for it, that particular comic can be chosen...

You're no seal... (WIP)

The WIP of the upcoming monthly comic! I got hella inspired by a tumblr post I can't seem to find anywhere anymore, and opted to do an original one instead of a fandom one this time. I hope ya'll don't mind!! ;w;

That additional image was what I used after I narrowed down the designs to just two iterations for voting. I STILL CANT DECIDE BECAUSE I'm FUCKING WEAK! :c But the image is also a bit of a style test; simplified and sketchy, which I might try for the comic to see how y...

For reference, the human woman is Sonny, the Shark mermaid is Rayn!  I don't quite have personalities for them at the current moment but as a super basic idea if it helps your choosing:

The Spirit (WIP)

"Shh, easy..."

Kaela held her hands out in a placating manner, daring to take one step deeper into the brush the entity tucked itself into. She froze when dark feathers rippled across the giant creature. It snapped its maw at her with a threatening hiss, the vast expanse of its tattered wings shuddering outward in an impressive display. Its warning is clear: stay away.

But Kaela can't bring herself to leave it be. She watches rivets of blood trudge down matted feathers, b...
