September & October 2025 $5 Rewards

Hello! Sorry for skipping last month, but I've got a post for y'all today.

Because life is funny in an unfortunate way, right after I was like "hey I think I got my will to draw back :D", I got hit by unbelievable nerve pain caused by a tooth infection, and a surgery for it that didn't quite heal up right for a long while. Kinda knocked the wind right back out of my sails lol

But, I have a slightly chunkier sketch page and 3 WIP files to hopefully make up for that absence. Now, I...

August 2025 $5 Rewards

Oop sorry for the delay, but I have the usual sketch page as well as a small clip from messing around with UE5 as mentioned prior! Honestly, a lot of my August went into trying to figure out the blueprint system; the fact that I even was able to make a door open or the player character crouch is a miracle lol

But, outside of commissions, I think I'm finally starting to get the drive to work on (and more importantly, finish) personal art projects again. It's been a hell of a long time si...

July 2025 $5 Rewards

Hi hello, slowly clawing my way back to a vaguely normal upload schedule.

Have a sketch page here; about 85% of it is me trying to solidify the look of my new persona 😅 And while I don't have much to show for it yet, I've started poking around with Unreal Engine to give game dev outside of GB Studio another go, so that may pop up in the next page!

Again though, thank you for sticking with me this year through the ups and downs of the patreon uploads. As always and forever, than...

June 2025 $5 Rewards

I'll slowly start pushing rewards back to the beginning of the month haha, but I hope you don't mind it being a little late again

We've got 4 WIP files and a sketch page that -- I guess I can't really call a sketch page, considering it's 90% 3D renders 😅 But we've got some stuff in there, plus a look at the nearly-finalized persona that I've been trying to figure out for the past few months.

Hope you're staying cool this summer, thank you for sticking with me during rough times...

May 2025 $5 Rewards

Hello sorry for the very late post; I didn't forget about you guys!

I feel like I've been making excuses for my poor output lately, but things have been incredibly tough since the beginning of the year, and it's been really affecting my ability to make art in general. I'm sorry that these rewards have been less than ideal lately, but thank you for sticking with me during this. I can only hope things will get better eventually 🤞

Hope your next few months will be as bright as th...

April 2025 $5 Rewards

Hello! Today we have a lil sketch page (of really a whole bunch of random stuff lol) as well as a short animation WIP of Chaos Im hoping to finish at some point, just for funsies (but unfortunately there's a tear in Chaos' chest in this WIP because of some faulty greenscreening, oops!)

I feel like I blinked and april was over, and now we're already teetering on the edge of summer. But I hope you all have been well, and as always, thank you for your patronage!

February March 2025 $5 Rewards

Hello! Again I apologize for missing last month, but I have a bit more to share now -- 4 WIP files and a small sketch page zipped up below.

Unfortunately these last few weeks were especially rough and my mind just could not focus on art, but hopefully things will be a bit better next month for all of us 🙃

As always, thank you for sticking around during these rough patches, and thank you as always for your patronage!

February 2025 $5 Rewards Update

Hello everyone! Quick update about last month's rewards; during February I was out of town quite a bit and had my nose buried in an animation commission otherwise, so I don't have much art to share for the usual sketch page. Instead of giving you a subpar reward this month, I'm going to lump what I have into the March post, and try to get said post out before the usual billing cycle at the end of the month.

Very sorry for the inconvenience! Even though it's only happened a few times in ...

January 2025 Rewards

Hello everyone! We got a lil sketch page and also a little MP4 of some 1-bit animation loop tests (small warning for slightly flashing/rapidly moving visuals).

I hope everyone's first month of 2025 has been ok! It's been a bit tumultuous overall I think, and personally, I'm trying to figure out what public commissions to take so I can set aside funds to move to a new city (which tbh! has been a very overwhelming but very needed move to start to plan).

But, I hope everything works ...

December 2024 $5 Rewards

Hello! There's a sketch page for this month (or pixel art page really), and I'm also re-including the art book PDF incase you missed the last post!

Unfortunately not much more to say at the moment; hoping 2025 is a bit kinder to all of us. Thank you for stickin' around, hope you're doing okay, and forever and always: thank you very much for your patronage.

Ideas To Playtest [PDF download]

Hey everyone! As promised, here's the art book PDF of game concepts I've been working on pulling together. Took me 2 months longer to finish it up than I planned for lol, but at least it'll be out before Christmas! Hopefully I've squashed any remaining typos, but let me know if you see any if you browse through this! [late night edit: I fixed like 6 more typos lmao]

Thanks again for your continued support during this rocky year; hope you have a great holiday season and see you for the r...

November 2024 $5 Rewards

Hello! This month we have a few pixel WIPs and a sketch page that's more 3D than it is 2D haha~ Not much to report this time around; hope the end of the year is a great one for you all!

And as always (especially with how rough these past few months have been, creatively and otherwise 😅), thank you very much for your patronage!

October 2024 $5 Rewards

Hello everyone! This month we have a tiny sketch dump, but a real hodge-podge of other things including 3 WIP files + a few animation WIPs as well, including a small reel I'm putting together for pixel art stuff (you may have seen most of the reel animations already tho!)

My brain still feels a bit fried but I'm doing my best to push through it and get back on track; I hope everyone else has been having an ok time with their art and/or work and/or life in general!

As always, thank...

September 2024 $5 Rewards

Hello! I apparently entered a fugue state for the last few days and forgot to update once I got my wifi back! But I'm posting a new WIP of the game-ideas-art-book pages (there might be a few typos, I'm working on fixing them!), as I apparently was also in a fugue state for September and cannot find a single thing I sketched or drew for that entire month!

So again, I'm going to open up little sketch requests for the October post to make up for that. Please give me any character to draw a...

Hurricane Update

Hey guys! Unfortunately I was affected by the recent hurricane, and while I'm safe and have power again, my internet's been out for almost a week now (using my phone data atm) and I have no idea when it'll be restored.

So, depending on when that happens, rewards will either go up whenever I get wifi again or roll over to the next month. Sorry for the inconvenience!! Hope you guys are safe and well, and here's to the start to the spookiest season 🎃

(And now that I'm finally ...

August 2024 $5 Rewards

Hey y'all, this month we've got a WIP file, a lil sketch dump, and something a bit different! I've decided to pull together a digital art/lore book for my game concepts that I've made between 2018-2024 (excluding As the World Ends, since I want that to be its own thing), and I've shared a few pages from it in this ZIP.

It'll be $5 on itch, but patreon supporters of this tier will be getting it for free once it's finished (hoping end of September, early October). Though there's a lot of ...

July 2024 $5 Rewards

Hey y'all! Got just a little sketch page (literally it's mostly pixel art) and a WIP for July.

And to keep it 100, my brain still isn't back to fully-functioning, and I apologize for the impact it's had on my art output (I checked twitter and I've only made 3 art posts this -year-. 3!!) But I do really appreciate you all sticking around, and I hope can kick this slump that's apparently been hanging onto me for god-knows-how-long now.

But! On a brighter note! I'm goin...

June 2024 $5 Rewards

Heyyy thanks for hanging on; did my best to pull together a few things for the sketch page. June was a bit of a rough month, but hopefully July will be better! Thank you for your patience and understanding once again, hope you're staying cool in these hot summer months, and as always, thank u very much for your patronage 🙏!

June 2024 $5 Rewards notice

Hey everyone! The sketch page for June will be a few days late; had a really weird and rough month when it came to art and don't have too much to show for it at the moment, but I don't want to totally skip this month! Just need a little extra time to make some stuff ⭐

In addition, please feel free to leave a request for any character you'd want to see in my style, and I will do my best to incorporate them someway into the sketch page! Thank you for your patience and understanding; I h...

May 2024 $5 Rewards

Hello we're back to our regularly-scheduled sketch page and WIPs! We've got some eldritch fellas in here and a sneak peek at a 4-image series that follows up on one of the first paper cutout pieces I ever made (from 2 years ago!) Working on a few more cool things I can't talk about just yet, but also can't wait to share them when I can!

Hope you had a lovely May and stay cool as we head into the summer months (It already hit like 92F here I'm melting), ANNDDDD as always, thank you ver...

Video Essay (Full Preview)

Hey everyone! Remember that thing I've been talking about for the past 4 months? It's almost here (will be posted sometime this Tuesday - Thursday) and you can also watch it right now early as a tiny little thanks for sticking with me as I've been working on it!

50 Masked DJs  [aandd here's the live version!]

Unfortunately the volume fluctuates a bit from section to section (it was very h...

March 2024 $5 Rewards

Oop sorry for the late upload, I got thrown off by Easter weekend haha, but I've got a small sketch dump consisting mostly of plague doctors and also some little art assets from the video essay I'm working on!

Speaking of, my apologies to new patrons that have joined in the middle of this semi-patreon hiatus I've been on while working on this thing ;; The good news is that I'm about 80% finished with it, which is both relieving and also very stressful at the same time lmao. I hope to be...

February 2024 $5 Update/Sneak peek

Hey guys! Like I mentioned prior, I'm buckling down and keeping my nose to the grindstone working on a video essay. I haven't had much time to draw outside of that, and I'll be putting the pedal to the metal in March to make sure I can hit my self-imposed late-April deadline, but I didn't want to leave you guys without anything this month.

So! I've uploaded the intro of the video as well as 6 sections here if you'd care to get an idea of what this video will be like! This preview is abo...

January 2024 $5 Rewards

Hello! This month we have just a little sketch page -- literally, a good majority of this is pixel art haha. Not much to say about this month other than holy heck how did it go by so fast already.

Im going to be a bit busy with commission work this month, but Im also going to be hunkering down and working on that video essay -- the entire script is written, and though I don't have everything recorded yet, it's gearing up to be easily 2+ hours long lmao. Never thought I'd ente...

December 2023 $5 Rewards

Hello! Today we have a sketch dump and a WIP file to boot! In the sketches you can see a preview of the character classes for As the World Ends, and speaking of, the structure of this patreon miiight change as I shift gears towards working on the AtWE art book. That -- along with a video essay I'm making that's gearing up to be like...an hour and a half long lmao -- is going to take a good chunk of time out of the beginning of my year. I will do my best to keep you all informed on what im wor...

November 2023 $5 Rewards

Hello! Got just a small sketch page this November; a lot of things ate up my free time this month, but I still have some colorful sketches and a bunch of hand studies to share! Gonna do my best to double down and get some work done this December, which tbh I can't believe it's already the end of the year -- I feel like I just made my new years post like 2 weeks ago :, )

But anyways!! Hope everyone has a good holiday season -- stay safe and warm out there, and! As! Always! Thank you for ...

October 2023 $5 Rewards

Hello! This month's rewards are a liiittle different -- alongside a small sketch page, I have several snippets of animations I've been working on for various projects, which is where most of my time has gone to this month! Some of these are for a not-yet released project with another artist, so I'd ask you to keep these previews hush hush for now 🤫!

FLASHING LIGHTS WARNING THOUGH, I can't stress this enough haha -- If you're sensitive, please be careful viewing or consider watching t...

September 2023 $5 Rewards

Hello! I fell asleep before uploading this morning! But we got 3 pixel art WIP files as well as a sketch page of just a bunch of random stuff + some arm ref/study things.

Honestly I don't have too much to say this time haha~ Happy first day of Halloween and may your month be pleasantly spooky! Also -- you're not gonna believe this I know -- aaas always, thank you for your patronage!

edit: If you somehow downloaded this in the first like 3 minutes it was up, I accidentally had the ...

August 2023 $5 rewards

Hello hello! Today I have a sketch dump to share, mostly focused on high-fantasy character designs and the like (I played a lot of Baldur's Gate 3 at the beginning of the month and it got me wayyy back into fantasy settings ig haha!)

Unfortunately, I caught covid halfway through the month, and I have so much brain fog it'd make Silent Hill jealous (and a cough still! After more than 2 weeks!! 😷), so it's been a bit tough to sit down and draw. I feel like these last few months have be...

July 2023 $5 Rewards

Hello once again! Along with a WIP file and sketch page, I've also included Soul Void's full OST in a longform WAV to celebrate the Redux release! And my thanks again to everyone's understanding with my health vs productivity -- my heart pains have started to become less and less frequent as I've been working towards a healthier balance in my personal life. Fingers crossed it stays that way 🤞

This August, I'm going to try and focus on the continual development for one of my IPs that ...
