TIMELAPSE - that funny feeling

( SABER'S TITLE ON YOUTUBE LMFAOOOO )

Timelapse for a little vent piece I did a couple weeks ago! I really wanted to mess with a blue  based palette try to keep colors super limited. Overall a super fun experimental piece. Definitely want to build on this!!

As for regular updates, I'm still waiting for my new apple pencil to arrive, in the meantime you might see me uploading pieces I've saved up from my manic drawing last week. LOL 

Other than that I'm tak...

🔴NEED NEW APPLE PENCIL🔴(CLOSED)

Thank you for the interest and to Icestorm for coming to the rescue!! 🧡 new art to come soon, but I might be out of commission until it gets here. Thank you all for your patience and enjoy the holiday SAFELY! 🧡

I think I’ve dropped mine one too many times and it’s giving me all sorts of line skips and random horizontal spikes. I have some money saved up but it’s all put away for a trip next weekend so I don’t want to dip into that. This is...

⭐UPDATES - Upcoming Cons, New Merch...!⭐

Peep my rough idea for table layout (I need to update the banner, the example art, a sign for adopting a lil zap, omg....lol)

With cons coming back, I wanted to let ya'll know I'll be working some Dealer's Dens and Artist Alleys!

TIMELAPSE - Handpaw Study

This was from a study I did earlier this month! I feel like watching the process of these can be super helpful for anyone learning. Honestly I want to do more studies in general, it's been really great to get back to the basics and relearn things I've been drawing wrong for years lsjkdflskjdf

Thanks for watching! 🧡

An absolute baby for my patron Scales! I absolutely love how this turned out, especially as someone who loves plush/soft aesthetic like me! Eventually I would love to do a turn your OC into a plushie commission (not TF, just plushie version of your character) ... TEMPTING IDEA

Thanks for watching!🧡

Innertube Time!

I’ve always wanted to draw/paint an innertube and I felt like this being one of my first real attempts, I’m really proud of it! There’s something so fun about shading that shiny texture. I definitely think the next time I do this I’ll have a lot more ideas :3 I also tried a couple new techniques with these (blurring the background body parts, etc) I definitely want to play more with this in the future 👀


These icons were part of my Icon Reward tier! I think that if ...

TIMELAPSE - Snowboardin'!

I was really excited for this timelapse to come out because it shows how I used some references (I highly recommend always using references to help with your poses and anatomy!) Overall I'm really proud of how this piece turned out! I feel like sometimes I can struggle with 2 character pieces so I'm really happy this one turned out nice! 

Thanks for watching! 🧡

🔴(CLOSED) Experimental Sketchpage Slot?🔴

I really REALLY want to do a sketchpage and add it into my commission options in the fall! I don't have any examples and honestly don't have the time to draw one for myself so if anyone wants a discounted slot at $200 lemme know! When I open publicly I'll probably have the price set to about $250, maybe more depending on how long this takes me to draw LOL

What the sketchpage layout will be:

  • Full color, very simple cell shading
  • 1-2 fullbodies
  • 2-3 headshots/b...

Hama Reference (process)

Gosh I can’t wait for the timelapse of this one to be edited because ya’ll can watch me struggle to redraw a simple fullbody like 60 times 😂💀 RIP. Some days it just comes easier than others and for some reason it was a struggle. I was really annoying myself sketching this one, but I’m really happy with how it turned out! Sometimes the simpler the piece the more complicated my brain makes it 🥸
