Art Box 2
Art Box 2 rewards will be sent out in the coming days! This box contains quite a few paintings with steps, and the focus this time is on my Final Fantasy Samurai painting! Thank you so much for your support :)
Rewards will be sent out within 5-8 days, after Patreon has finished processing your pledges. Please make sure you have an active card registered to Patreon, or you will not get the rewards. If you were not pledged at the time I made this post, you will not be eligible for t...

I participated in an auction to raise money for a Black Lives Matter cause last month, and here's the final piece for the winner of my slot! Patrons this month will get the .PSD file, real time painting video, and step by step of this illustration!

The rewards for this term have been sent! Check your patreon inbox for Gumroad discount links, and make sure to select the correct tier before confirming.
This is a bit of a transition term, so if you were pledged but didn't get sent anything, or you were sent rewards but want a refund, etc, please let me know and I'll fix it for you! Everyone should have been sent what they were supposed to but Patreons manager can be a bit hard to navigate sometimes. Message me here o...

Art Box 1 rewards will be sent out in the coming days! This box contains a ton of sketches and studies, with the focus being on my Akali painting for Sapling patrons! Thank you so so much for your support :)
If you're still unassigned to a tier at the time of this post, Patreon will still charge you (this is out of my control). You'll lose your Discord access but I'll send you the closest approximate rewards for your pledge in the coming days, for this month only. Make sure you're assi...
Blood Moon Akali
Blood Moon Akali / Zeen Chin fanart! I'll have the painting timelapse for this up on youtube next week. The real time painting video, PSD and step by step for this illustration will be included in the June Art Box, as well as the full resolution files ^^
Remember to switch to the active tier if you haven't already, seeds and saplings!

Hey all! I know I haven't posted anything here in ages, and I obviously haven't charged you in ages either. As I'm sure most of you have been suspecting I've had to place the Patreon on a sort of hiatus - for a multitude of reasons - but now I'm ready to get back into it. Before that, I want to apologize for the lack of communication on my part. I should've officially gone on hiatus instead of just not saying anything, and I plan to be better at this in the future!
But Alas; ...

If you pledged before September 30th and your card was not declined, you've just been sent Box 3's content by private message! When you open the Gumroad link, make sure to select the correct tier from the drop-down menu. If you grab the wrong tier, you will need to try again with a different email address.
A few patrons did not fix their card information so the content was not sent to those accounts (they were not charged). Please make sure you have the right info...

I'm not dead, I just moved to another country, started a full-time job, and got buried in contract work all at the same time! :--)
To stay sane during all this I've been chipping away at a painting of my childhood crush, Sasuke. I haven't had this much fun painting something in years, so more is definitely to come!
And on that note, I have a teeny patreon update as well. I'll try my very hardest to get a package out this month - the video tutorial for Sapling wil...

We've built a great community on discord, and we want everyone to be able to take part in it - whether that be to participate in the study groups and challenges, get critique or just connect with people. So starting today, all patrons have access! You should be added automagically, but if not refreshing your pledge should get you access.
We're holding a 4 week study bootcamp starting this Sunday, so if you're an artist looking to improve, check out the study-group channels! <...

All That Remains [c]
Commissioned painting of a demon hunter named Zevrad Stargazer. My sincere thanks goes out to the client, who is one of the kindest, most patient people I've ever worked with. This was a hard one to finish but we pulled it off in the end!

People sometimes ask me where and how they should build an audience, and so I thought I might as well make a tiny guide, breaking down the main social media platforms people use for art! It's nothing special but I hope it can give you some clarity if you're struggling to navigate it yourself:

Rough painting of the Odogaron armour set from MHW! For a tablet review that'll be up later this week~
My wrist is still bad, but by spending 2 weeks slowly picking away at this it at least didn't get any worse :)) I wish I could render it more, but I feel like my hand is at it's limit with this one.

I made another video! This time on impostor syndrome and always feeling like your art isn't good enough.
Let me know if you have any topics you want to see for the next one!

Wrist update and left hand demon boi
After roughly one month of rest, my wrist is (nearly) back in working condition! It's still somewhat achy and the pain spikes up every now and then, but I'm very happy to say I drew for 40 minutes on Thursday, and for another hour today, with no significant issues. This does not mean that everything is immediately back to normal (I'll be drawing at a much slower rate than usual to keep this in check) but it does mean that I'll start creating new, non-left handed art soon!
I haven'...

Apologies for the silence! I've not really felt like I have anything of value to post here as I've just been resting and not producing much. My arm is starting to feel a lot better, but unfortunately it's still a bit too early to go back to work. I was hoping to be back this week but oh well. These things take time and that must be respected.
In the meantime, largely thanks to Murashi in the Discord server, I have started to train my left hand for drawing! It started out as a joke but b...

Been working on this master study of August Riedels 1840 painting "Judith" on and off for about a month now, mostly trying to understand that JUICY gold and cloth rendering - I was planning on finishing it and creating some sort of video on it explaining my thoughts and what I'm learning from it before the end of January. As it happens though, my wrist tendinitis has returned, and is hurting like never before!

Wip of a painting for my personal project! As you can see I've made a lot of changes from the version that's in the patreon header, and still tweaking the design.
Still not sure what to name her, but she's a mercenary/"monster" hunter! I'm currently slowly fleshing out the lore for her race and the universe as a whole, and then I'll go more in depth with the characters :D

Some lazy sketches I did while watching a bad Christmas movie with the family. I used a moleskin sketchbook and some no-brand mechanical pencil, then added the white bits digitally for fun. Hope you're all enjoying the holidays so far! <3
