Here's the last two preorderd Anthro New England badge commissions! These two are partners and the badges are sorta meant to match up! Or at least fit together with the same theme, haha! Keilani is the dominant of the two, hypnotizing Ash, the submissive one of the two! I can't wait to finish these up!
Both have been approved, so they've been pushed to the inking stage now!

Here they are!
This year my local convention (Furnal Equinox)'s theme is 'Graduation'! To be completely honest (and I'm not the only one here lol) I'm not a huge fan of this years theme, but for the last 6 years of attending this con, I've always done some sort of themed badge preorder, so I had to continue that trend! For this con, I'm doing yearbook photo badges! The intention of these ...

WIP for Bryant of their horse character rocking out to some rock music! So glad I'm getting the opportunity to draw a horse again, and as a badge once again too! <3 I'm very happy with the pose and expression here (:
The sketch has been approved, so now its been moved onto the inking process!

Another update of this handsome deer lad! Got the poses inked and added in all the colour! All that's left to do is the actual sheet design and inputting info, then he's good to go! Off to get a suit made (one day) and lots of art from other artists, haha!
The colours and markings have been approved; this should be done in no time! :D

Aw yeah! Right now I'm having the opportunity to make a ref sheet up of a really cute deer character! This is for a local friend of mine whose getting a fresh new character to represent himself in the fandom! I believe a fursuit is to come after this too so be on the lookout!
This sketch may seem a littttle familiar. I reused the sketched sheet wip I did for Marrok the Wolf's commission, just eliminated the extra poses. They no longer wanted a commission from me, ...

Work in progress of a commission for my friend, Malwave, of their Sphynx cat character attempting to cast a spell with their large Raven skeleton companion making it a little hard for him to do just that.
Sketch has been approved, now its onto inking! :D

Gosh I can NOT think of a good title for this one..was thinking 'Sunshine On My Shoulders' but I'm still not sure x'D
Anyway, commission for 0engons on Twitter ft. FloatingLiights and Cyndi!
I'm REALLY happy with this sketch! It's been approved, so should be done in no time <3

Everyones been jumping on the Warriors OC bandwagon again, thank GOD. I love this series <3
If you sign up on the official website you get assigned a warrior name. Mine ended up being Wavesong, so as a result, I'm making a character out of it! Sketch below was the first pass at figuring her out. I'm going with a Turkish Angora for the breed, as they are known to be water loving cats and their coat is very wispy and wavy like..well..waves! The design just didn't feel as pushed as I'd ...

Some sketches of Nicole I did tonight! Haven't drawn digitally in a while so I was taking time tonight to warm up before I get to doing a lot of drawing this week.
Working on her ref in the first image there! You may have seen those same poses sometime last year. I basically took those sketches and redrew them so its more updated to how my style is these days.
Second sketch is...

2019-01-07 04:01:45 +0000 UTC View PostHappy new year guys! 2019 is officially here!
I'm SO sorry about the dead activity this past December. December is always a busy time of year for everyone...but myself especially.
That being said, all holidays cards have been sent out! I'm SO sorry those took so long and will definitely be arriving VERY MUCH after Christmas and New Years LOL but I'm super happy I finished them all and I'm so excited for you all to get them <3
I think next year I'll either be p...

So I wanted to try my hand at a new type of merchandise recently, with one of my most loved pieces of Nicole! I figured this piece would make a super cute acrylic standee to display and sell at my booth during upcoming conventions in the new year! The first photo is a WIP sent from my manufacturer, just going over how the cut will look and the measurements (which I cut out when I posted it on twitter...

Another WIP I forgot to post before posting the final image! This was a commission for Corezy of their two sabertooth characters; one being a shark and the other being a tiger! Really loved the idea for this commission; the fact that she's pulling him in for a kiss by his fangs is the cutest thing <3

Another WIP I forgot to post before finishing the final image! This was a commission for Digitalfox of their character! Busy on their phone and suddenly being distracted by a conversation happening off screen! They look amused :P
The client was very thrilled with the result, enough to actually want to upgrade the piece to a shaded illustration! So I'll be doing that for them in the new ye...

I deeply apologize for the lack of posts this month! December kinda came out of nowhere for me lol. Doesn't help that I went to a large convention the end of November, and because of how busy I was, just lost track of the time! Anyway, I'm back on track, I've got two commissions left to do for December, and then I can kick back, relax and prepare myself for the new year <3
This was a sketch ...
2018-12-20 18:30:35 +0000 UTC View PostHey guys!
I just got an email from one of my patrons recently regarding these, and realized I haven't updated you all about them since last month! They're still in progress, unfortunately x_x My commission queue is currently priority. Had a bit of a back up with it so I'm hard at working getting all the owed work done before Christmas. Once that's finish, I'll be putting 100% focus on the holiday cards (though I am still working on them in between things). I'll make another post when the...

More work in progress on a commission for sanjha-kitani on FA featuring their demon coyote character and Nicole! I know I'm waaay behind in my queue but I definitely plan on getting everything cleared off before Christmas! I was in a pretty bad art block/mindset the last month or so..just had some bad client experiences sadly, but I'm getting back into the game again cause I can't let that stuff get me down...

Just wanted to share with you all my art show lineup for MFF since this past weekend I finally sat down and planned out what I want to do this year xD
It'll be my first time taking part in the MFF art show. Anthro Cons did so well for me, so I'm super looking forward to how this one does too!
Doing the same as I did for AnthroCon as well. Basically spamming my fursona in the entire gallery again x'D But people like her, so I totally don't mind doing one of a kind originals :D...

Some rough sketches I've been working on and off on the last couple weeks! I began watching Final Space this summer at a convention with a bunch of friends, but didn't get to finishing the rest of the season until recently. I'm IN LOVE with the show. And these two characters especially (I may be biased).
Really wanted to draw these two together since I was really emotional after finishing the se...

Work in progress for a little collaborative project I'm taking part in over on Twitter. Disney sidekicks! Basically a bunch of artists signed up for this and picked the characters they wanted to work on. All from classic theatrical Disney films. I went with Meeko & Flit! Always loved these two and their dynamic in Pocahontas <3
Below are a few other quick sketches I did initially, but I ended up going with the one above :3

Hello! I have an update for my Nub Club patrons!
I've gone ahead and added tracking as an option to the tiers. I figured that's a nice option to have, especially with the current rotational strike that my mail carrier has been on the past couple weeks x_x
Tracking is an additional charge, and the price depends on where you are located in the world! ** Local/Canadian packages already include tracking in the original pledge ($20) amount! **
All the info i...

So! The form will remain open until the end of the week (Sunday Nov. 4th). I'll be CLOSING the form the night of the 4th, so if you haven't already submitted your character reference and address to mail the card to, please do so sometime this week! This will be t...
