September 2018 $5 rewards

What is up my dudes, we got 3 WIP files and a sketch dump as per usual; hope you like clowns and nightmare furries cuz we got a lot of those in there lmao

The nightmare furries in particular (called Hunters as a working name) are characters from an idea I had about beings that live in a ~dreamscape~ that hunt down nightmares to help people sleep better, and also get rid of these nightmares if they manifest in reality. Wraith, for example, often appears to protect women, children, and victims o...

Final October Vid update (for now!)

So, as plans are want to do, the plans for this project have changed from the last update haha! The Violet Woods pixel art project has been put on hold unfortunately, and the two planned videos I had for this have turned to three, with a maybe-possible-fourth if i can get it to look right.

Below is the order of how they'll be uploaded to tumblr, maybe starting on the first of october. Not sure when I'm going to release them yet.

(theres mild flashing in the first one, be warned!...

October vid project WIP1

3 days later, Ive got a small update for you guys. A few more drawings and edits need to be made + general blurriness and distortion will be added to the final product, but i thought I'd give you this test render so you can see where it's headed! The whole thing is supposed to be choppy and flashy like an amateur conspiracy theorist made it, and well, that's /almost/ who's supposed to be behind it in the canon I'm building.

Turns out, this will be video one of at least two. The one above is la...

August 2018 $5 rewards

my duuuudes we have 3 WIP files and a sketch dump that's an itty bitty bit smaller than last month's because art block kicked my bum right hard this August, BUT, hopefully I'll be back on track in September, or tbh the month of beta-testing October. 

Hope you all are doing well in your own creative pursuits, good luck to those back in school, and stay strong through any tough times ahead!

July 2018 $5 tier rewards

This month we've goooot 10 WIP files (mostly related to pixel art, so hopefully I can give you an idea of how I pixel through those!) and one big ol' sketharoonie dump as usual. I wish I had an iiiitty bit more sketches to share, but this month has some edgy black and white art, some colorful pixel art, and some edgy black and white pixel art -- there's something in there for everyone, especially if you like weird faceless humanoids. 

I can't believe the end of summer is right around the ...

Just wanted to throw some mock ups of a silly game idea I've had from like last year 👌Essentially harvest moon + animal crossing but like, with monsters instead. Extremely creative, I know lmao

Maybe I'll go back and polish it/ draw more sprites/ draw a section of the actual town, but for now this was a nice break from my usual stuff - v -

June 2018 $5 Rewards

We got threeee WIP files along with the sketch file this month, and most of the sketches for June are studies/Executioner doodles!

I know most people subscribe for the sketch sheets, and i really do sincerely apologize that they've been so light these past few months. Uploading the Executioners and getting sick really took the wind out of me for June, but I promise promise promise to get the quantity back up this July!

Though, it probably will be more Executioner-related stuff haha~ I'm ...

May 2018 $5 Rewards

Hey my dudes -- I've attached this month's sketch dump to this post. It's a little lighter comparative to other months (and filled with a LOT of heads) sincce I poured almost all of my attention into finishing my book this month. We'll get back to your regular scheduled art program in June 👌👌 Thanks for your understanding and sticking around!

The Executioners is done, my dudes.

It's 12:58pm EST as I sit here and type this, my body containing more coca cola than water, my eyes barely opened from three nights of little sleep, shoveling a lunch of rice and shrimp into my mouth as I can't remember if I ate dinner yesterday.

But it's in these lovely conditions that I have put the final sentence, word, and punctuation mark into the narrative of the The Executioners, a story I've had for about three years now, though I only started to actually write it about 11 months ago.<...

Uploading this early bc I didn't get any sleep last night and I don't know if I'm going to make it to midnight haha.

Anyways, no time lapse video this month, but there's two WIPs and a sketch dump like usual! I apologize that the content for this and most likely next month is going to be a little light -- I'm hunkering down on writing to hopefully finish The Executioners by the early weeks of June. Speaking of, still thinking about releasing it early for patreon supports, so hold on for more i...

I still don't have names for any of these guys, but I've been slowly adding more and more of a story to them as I've been drawing them ~ 

Third guy is probably the same species as the first guy, and he also gave second girl her mask. Fourth lady is probably a villain of some sort for whatever this story is lmao. It's been almost hard drawing these after the first two, because sharp boi and fiery lass set a precedent of rather simple designs, but I just want to keep cramming detail into th...

March 2018 Tier 5 rewards

Posting this a little early because ooooooh buddy i got a stomach ache and dont think I'm gonna make it to midnight.

But this month we got a spicy 4 WIP files, a savory 2 timelapses, and one saltine cracker-like sketchdump! 

The timelapse videos, to note, should be watched at their default size. I had to render these things out twice to get an hour/an hour and a half video down to 5 minutes, and I kinda fudged the settings in the process. If you try to fullscreen them they'll be a l...

3/23/2018 Executioner Faces v3

I'm sure I'm going to be nitpicking these things to hell and back over the next few weeks-months, BUT they're as done as they're gonna get for now (and if you're a $5 patron, a few of these may already be familiar to you!).

The last Executioner face sheet I posted is over a year old at this point, and looking at it now sends a shiver down my spine haha, so I decided to do a more up-to-date one. I also put their canon ages next to their names for reference.

A few things have changed on th...

Hey guess who totally didn't forget february only has 28 days haha definitely not me absoluTELY not no way at all.

Got a sketch dump, a WIP, and a figure time lapse thingy in this package. As always, feel free to leave a request for a sketch in the next dump, and if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go back to bed because I definitely did NOT jolt awake on the verge of sleep because I DEFINITELY DIDNT FORGET it was a short month this month.

I'm uploading this a little early because my friends and I are going to watch National Treasure and then I'm probably gonna pass out before midnight :,D

Anyways, the end of January snuck up on me fast! I took a week or so at the beginning to relax and unwind, but I still have a nice little sketch dump, a WIP, aaaand a quick speed paint for this month!

Interesting thing about speed paints, the program I use to speed footage up can only multiply it by 4 times -- so if something takes me 2 ...

A New Years Update Post

First of all, happy new years to you all! Whether you stayed in or went out, I hope you had a nice evening last night (or last last night? depending on where you live!)

Secondly, I just wanted to make a small post to say thank you. I know it's sometimes a little hard to really convey emotion through text, but I cannot express to you enough how much your support means, especially in the last year. No matter what your pledge amount or for how long you've been a patron, it means the absolute worl...

December 2017 Tier 5 Rewards

Hey guys, posting this kinda early because, to be honest with you, I'm feeling pretty tired and a little sick, so I'm probably gonna crawl in bed when the clock strikes midnight haha -- just one WIP this time, but the sketch dump has Some Stuff.

When I wake up, I'll be making a little personal New Years post here too, so look out for that if you'd like! Hope your holidays were swell and your new year is off to a good start, and as always, thank you so much for your patronage!

12/16/2017 The Executioners writing snippets

HELLO my DUDES I am here to bring you some of the writing samples I included in last month's $5 patreon pledge! In fact, there's some new stuff in here (such as two spoilery samples should you want to kill that cat with curiosity) as well as some regular ol' grammar edits from the first post!

As mentioned previously, The Executioners is a book I'm currently working on, and the following writings may not make sense to you 2017-12-16 21:37:39 +0000 UTC View Post

November 2017 Tier 5 Rewards

Sup my dudes, this month we've got a sketch dump + two WIP files + a lil extra something. 

Considering I took a lot of time off to work on my writing, I added in a handful of scenes that I could share that weren't too spoilery. It's a lot of dialogue heavy scenes since almost all the action ones are riddled with spoilers -- I added a small getting-things-done scene at the end of the Misc document, but a bunch of it had to be SCP [data expunged] to prevent, well, spoilers.

Middle of November NaNoWriMo update

Sup my dudes! Last month I said I was dedicating my November to NaNoWriMo (though admittedly, this announcement was on a $5 post, which was an oversight in hindsight) and I thought I would give you all an update on the going ons, if you're interested in that kind of stuff.

For those unaware, I've been slowly working on a book known as The Executioners, which includes characters you've probably seen floating around tumblr, twitter, and the monthly sketch dumps. In fact, in December it'll be 3 y...

I'm EDM af bro

hi im not sure if I like this anymore but iM DONE FOR NOW. Might pull back on the fuzzy fuzz (absolutely am going to, now that I look at it again) -- It wasn't supposed to be colored like this in the first place tbh -- it was going to be almost completely flat, but It somehow ended up like this. I haven't used this technique since like 2016 haha so I'm a lil rusty.

anyways I can't believe I single-handedly turned EDM into an anime.

August 2017 Tier 5 Rewards

This month we have WIP files a plenty as well as two sketch sheets -- the normal one, and an OC dedicated one (or what I have so far for the sketchbook). The end of August was a super optimistic (or naive!) deadline to give myself for the sketchbook, and as you can see I want to put waaaay more sketches than what I have in it, as well as keeping a certain quality -- So I'll keep working hard all through September to fill it out! 

As always, if you have any doodley sketch requests to add t...

Hopefully you'll be able to full view this to read the text if you want!

I felt like giving my old shoot-and-loot game PCs another small design tweak for fun. I included the first two drafts as well just so you can see the process behind them; they didnt jump much between the second and third drafts, but I think I'm happy with where they are now! I kept the poses in rather stiff 3/4ths views for purely reference reasons, but I want to do splash art of them too sometime.

Also, OC sketchbo...
