Paws Off [WIP]

I'm glad my partner isn't a Patreon of mine cause now I can gush about this behind his back without ruining the surprise ;D 

WIP of a littler present for my partner! Our anniversary is on Sunday July 1st..which also happens to be Canada Day! 3 years ago we watched fireworks, went to a local pub and sat under the stars in the back patio with a couple of beers, and got asked to be his girlfriend (: 

Since then he's been my absolute best friend, supporter, partner in crime..all th...

Hey guys,

I apologize things have been a tad quiet over here!

I'm pushing through what is left of my May Patreon rewards and owed commission work from last month. I believe I only have 3 patreon sketches left to do and 3 regular commissions.

I have a fairly sized queue for the month of June. A few small commissions  and some badge commissions that are to be completed and delivered at Anthro Con next month! So you'll be seeing WIP sketches of all those over the next few weeks!<...

Tender Moment [Wip + Breakdown]

Full character illustration for Scani for his partner Olefin for their 5 year anniversary gift! I'm still so flattered they went to me for such a special gift <3 

I didn't post WIPs of this one since I had to keep it a strict surprise, but now that Olefin has seen it and they both approve of the finished piece, I'm now able to post everything! :D And as a bonus, I'll include the breakdown of it since it's all done!

Pride Month [Breakdown]

Happy June aka, pride month! :D 

I've kinda known for a few years now that I'm not just attracted to men. If my partner wasn't a man but a woman instead, I know for a fact I'd still be happy no matter what! So long as they have a beautiful personality and treat me with kindness and respect, then that's all that matters to me!

Love is love.  

So here's the breakdown of a little doodle I did last night before getting to owed commission work in celebration!

Anthro Con 2018 Themed Badge- Nicole [WIP/BreakDown]

Finished up one of the examples for my themed Anthro Con 2018 badges to go along with their 'Movie Monster' Theme! Scary kigus, ooooh! x'D 

I'll be opening for these on Friday at 12PM EST! So mark that in your calendars if you plan on going to AC and want a badge from me! (Regular styled badges will be offered too!)

I know I already posted a WIP of this here, but I figured I'd show the breakdown too since I did do an alt. version with shading, but decided against it in the final. I ...

Love [Breakdown]

 Just a quick breakdown of a drawing done for CutieKoley on Twitter! They were treated pretty badly by an artist they were trying to commission. I felt super bad so I offered to make her artwork instead ^_^ For her and her partners anniversary! Congrats you two! <3

Nub Club Is BACK [Print of The Month Tier]

Alrighty, so majority of you have voted YES to the idea of a print of the month tier; AWESOME! 

The tier is now available to pledges! I have 20 slots open for it right now, may add more later, but 20 is a good number to start! 

I've decided to go ahead and allow you guys to have a say in what print you'd like too...and if you aren't picky then you can just leave it up to me and you'll get a surprise print each month :P (I'll get a form set up for that for tomorrow). I plan on s...

New Tier: Print of the month?

So I've gone ahead and removed the $40 tier/Nub Club tier..but I was thinking..maybe the Nub club isnt gone forever :O

What if I replaced it with a cheaper ($20) tier that includes all previous tiers AND a mailed out print each month? Shipping would be included in the tier. What do you guys think?


(If the "only if we get to choose the print we want" option wins, then it's YOUR responsibility to let me know what print you want before the end of the month, otherwise those signed...

Keychains, Wristbands and Lanyards, OH MY!

Some more progress on MERCHANDISE! 

A lot of the breakdown/WIP progress was posted on Twitter last week, mainly because I need a LOT of feedback on the designs. I don't want to create something that won't sell, so getting as much feedback as possible is VERY MUCH needed. 

To start, some lanyards! I wanted to go with totally new designs and base them around things I really like..so pickles and feathers were the go to! :D

Mischievous Grin [WIP]

I realized I forgot to post the WIP for this commission that I just finished up this morning! 

This is a half body for Nuudlehead on FA of their lynx/dragon hybrid! Commissioned by their friend as a birthday gift; so sweet <3 I'm always so flattered when clients come to me asking them to draw something as a gift for someone else, ahhh! Always happy to help in situations like that! 

Anyway, the WIP was approved right away, and yeah, just finished up this piece now, so feel fr...

Free Spirit Tshirt Design [Break Down]

(This is a HUGE post..get ready xD)

HEY GUYS.

So...recently I designed a tshirt for a new apparel website called ' Mäul.' I offered up my time to help contribute to their website, and am now listed as one of their official artists! The public release and announcement of the company was made this past Friday, so as a result, I can finally share with you the design and the WIPs leading up to the final design. 

I first need to give SUCH a big shout out to the artists and the fou...

Loungewear [Breakdown]

Gonna call these breakdowns instead of progress, since they're finished drawings!

Took the 'loungewear' sketch from my 'Outfit of the day May' prompt and cleaned it up! I intend on doing this with all of them..and either making them into a magazine or just a print series..not sure! 

So here's the breakdown! First, the sketch... didn't save the first rough sketch, unfortunately. I tend to sketch on the same layer, constantly going over it and building it up..like a sculpture! For tho...

I'm Removing the Monthly Sketch Tier [Update]

Hey guys,

So as the title says, I'll be removing the monthly sketch tier come the end of May..permanently.

I've been feeling a bit burnt out lately, and having to do 6 mandatory sketches each month, on top of the streams I do, commission openings, AND my full time job, have been taking it's toll on me. 

I really apologize to those in the Nub Club tier, but yeah...in terms of my own mental health, I think it'll be a huge weight off my shoulders.

You guys are MORE than wel...

Coyote Pins Are HERE!

YAY! THEY'VE ARRIVED! 

I already announced this on both Twitter and FA, but for those who have not yet seen, I'll be shipping out the preorders for these guys tomorrow night (After I go through and sort them out..while also making sure they're all good quality/no faulty pins) 

Come Friday, I expect to have them up in my shop for purchase! So stay tuned for the link both on Twitter and FA! 

Once again, I won't be collecting profits from these! The pin profits will be ...

Nicole The Lynx Enamel Pin [WIP 2]

More progress on the Nicole enamel pin! 

I know this is pretty early, since the poll on Twitter is still running, butttttt I'm likely going to be going with this design, no matter what wins (though it is in the lead atm).

Just looking all of them over again, as much as 'B' is loved as well, I feel like at a small size, it's going to be really hard to read. The hands will become jumbled and lost in the design and no one will know what she's holding. Option 'C', the pinup, is another ...

Kodalynx Character Design [WIP 3 & Final]

The last of the progress on Kodalynx's new Siberian lynx lady I've designed for him! 

He really liked B, so we took that and made a couple changes! Removed the "gloves" and "socks" markings and added in some shoulder stripe variants so she can resemble Koda's main OC a bit more, since they're related.

We both then talked about what design would be best in terms of simplicity when it comes to drawing this character at other angles and overall appeal. I suggest going with A since the ...

Kodalynx Character Design [WIP 2]

More progress on a commission for Kodalynx of a new Siberian lynx lady I've designed for him! 

NOW WITH COLOUR OPTIONS!

Again, stuck to the pure white Siberian lynx photos he referenced for me, but also played with warm and cool hues. I'm really happy with them all, but B and C are definitely my favs! 

I'll ask Koda, but whatever ones he doesn't want, I'd love to resell, but on a different base, of course. I couldn't see myself tossing any of these x'D And I can't keep th...

Opinions?

Hey guys! 


I kinda just wanted to reach out and ask if you guys are enjoying the content here!

Is there anything else you'd like to see from me, strictly as a Patreon? Any more rewards? Things to get you more engaged in? Now's the time to speak up! 


Otherwise, I want to thank you all for the support so far! We're 3 months away from my one year anniversary on Patreon so I'd love to give a little more if I can!

Enamel Pins! [WIP]

Thought I'd share a few WIPs with you all that are MERCHANDISE related instead of commissions/personal art! 

I've had a LOT of fun ideas swimming around in my head lately. I'm very inspired to create more things and expand my art in ways I didn't really think was possible! Not to mention I want to challenge myself.

To start, the one and only...NICOLE! I'm pretty determined to get this one ordered ASAP as I'd like to have these in time for Anthrocon. I've seen VERY FEW artists make f...

Anthro Con 2018 Themed Badge- Nicole [WIP]


AHHHH, so I came up with a fun idea for AC badge preorders, since I'll be attending, once again, this year! I had too much fun last year, I COULDN'T RESIST. 

This years theme is movie monsters which is...PERFECT for cute kigurumi style badges! 

I decided to whip up a quick example in excitement. I can't decide over Stripe from Gremlins or the yeti/abominable snowman from Rud...
