You helped me to buy a very nice vacuum cleaner for my work space!
I know, vacuums aren't very exciting, but I really needed one to help keep the animal hair out of my paintings. I got one with the most suck power, which would have been out of my budget without your help.

It's been a while since I just sketched some random crap for fun. I didn't learn anything but it was nice all the same.

I don't really 'get' the reflection on black fur, so I did some practice painting of black cats directly from photos found on google.

Large file of my paint doodle today. I was looking at photos for color and scene inspiration. I really need to do more studies.

I always wanted to design a werewolf that had more of a wolf body. This one is VERY canine, and it was a fun experiment, but I think I'll throw in a little more human in there next time.
I included a PSD for anybody with programs who want to play with it.
Soooo, I grew up with Dungeons and Dragons, and because I'm old, I have been with it since NEARLY first edition. I always really liked the gem dragons but they didn't make it into the regular 3ed monstrous manual (they were in some other book but the style was really unusual? Not bad, but not Todd Lockwood's) so I've decided to try updating them, myself.
Here's my first pass, which is FINE, but I'm now comparing it to the Lockwood drawings, studying the linework, and I'm going to have...
Usually I post these just $10 and up Patreons but I figured, what the hey, I'll post it for everyone this time.
Since I can't seem to get up the energy for big paintings in the winter I'll just focus on little ones.

The character had glasses but when I showed the commissioner the non-glasses version they really wanted both.

Two stages of a commission painting here. The lighter one is earlier. I darkened up the whole image so that I could sculpt with tones (it had been too light to do so, especially in that bright cheek area.)
I also started using a rake brush that really is wonderful for form and fur.
I always have an absolutely terrible crash-and-burn period over winter, especially February. I'm just so tired of the coldness and darkness and my creativity is at 0. And yet it always catches me by surprise and I try to fight it with sun lamps, vitamins, exercise. Nothing much seems to work. I feel like the frustration really comes through in my notes XD

Right now this is just a smushy conceptual speedpainting, and it doesn't LOOK like a lot, but man, I was really grinding away with my brain gears considering the compositional elements. It was a lot of hard work with not a lot of pay-off. But I'll learn a little more and come back to it later, and maybe I'll suddenly understand how to arrange it better ( I HOPE?????)

Making a late gift for Nekot for Xmas. I've been wanting to do some kind of art with his druid version for a long time.

I have the PSD in attachments for anyone who wants to play with it and make their own!

If you want to look through them all, here's a link to the Dropbox.

If you wanna use some for reference, lemme know and I'll most likely say yes!

I have lots of pictures I will share after I process some (get rid of the utterly abysmal ones)

This weekend was the virtual MFF and I did a series of simpler commissions and here are the finished ones.

I have an iPad and an Apple Pencil but I don’t like the very slick surface so I don’t use it a lot. Doodling is alright but it’s hard for fine control.

This goofy motherfucker!
I've attached the psd for anybody who wants to take a peek. Play with it maybe.

Commission thumbnails and a goofy dragon :P
Things are going pretty alright here! I have been going out into the woods a lot, which feels amazing. Unfortunately it's been turning cold and wet, which makes it harder (for me!) to get out. I'm very cold-sensitive. Inherited it from my mother. When I was a kid she used to jokingly say that she was a reptile and now I feel it!!
I've been having a lot of trouble moving the photos from my adventures from my iphone to my computer....
