Poll Results – Four couples walk into a bar...

So... in my defense, I did have backups. I had solutions in place for a two-way tie, and when it started looking towards the end of the week that a three-way tie is possible, I forged some plans how to resolve that as well, but that said...

This is not what I expected.

Four-way tie is not something I expected I would have to deal with.

When I said you guys have a type, I did not ne...

February Choice Poll – Spare Pairs

As the last poll was exclusively fanart pieces, it's only fair to give some space to my beloved brainspawn to balance things out. And since February is known for its love-related proclivities, this poll will feature several pairs to pick from!

(Yes, my schedule is roughly 2 weeks askew, how can you tell...)

February '24 Stream Report

I've recently had two streaming sessions, one for poll results, the other for official ANet obligations, and they both yielded some interesting results to munch through.

First was the poll stream, which was tied on Patreon, but Hraesvelgr accumulated a landslide victory through Discord votes.

I ended up forging out some basic scene idea, even if I'm not terribly happy with the camera angl...

Yeen Twins

I held a poll back in December where I asked you to help me pick two species to hybridize. Turns out you all have a type, so hyena and ocelot won without even having much of a contest about it.

And while the stream went through all the way back in January, I went back and cleaned up the rough design sketches into a full small illustration piece.

The stream audience picked their names to be Josh and Vale...

New Year Choice Poll: All the dragons!

Tis the year of the dragon (or it soon will be), and as I said earlier, I am itching to introduce some more dragons in(to) my life. So when I thought of the topic for this year's first patron poll, I gathered all the dragons I ever wanted to do fanart for and thought to let you give them a spin.

To keep things simple, I restricted the pool to dragons from videogames I played (so no Temeraire, even if I do like him a lot). There is surprisingly very few games in my library tha...

Special Giveaway – Sketchfiles vol. 1

Offering: archival small books to a good home. They're well-trained and will just dutifully sit on shelf until touched. May cause joy upon opening, but the results are not guaranteed.

During the before-mentioned salvage operation, I managed to discover things thought long gone: last 3 copies of my old Sketchfiles pocket folio. These were my very first printed folios from way back when I was a regular congoer ...

[Patron Preorders] Artbites pocket folio

I did promise that being a patron comes with the perks of first dibs on physical goods, right...?

So in brief: I will be offering these little things, pocket portfolios from a few years ago. B5 format, 35 illustrations on glossy paper. And as my patrons, you not only get first dibs, but also a neat discount. They'll either be up for a limited sale in February on their own, or in June along with another of my projects, but if you want to make sure you get a copy, I can set it aside for y...

Wintersday 2023

Happy Wintersday 2023, and welcome to 2024! May it bring you joy and many reasons to hug your local equivalent of a sweater-bound skyscale.

This is a cleaned-up version of the sketch I did during the recent official stream. I mostly just wanted to redo the linework, since the original two-hour timeslot did not allow me much besides just rolling with the first draft.

(And yes, this is rough...

Stream Report – Dec. 27th Official ArenaNet Stream

I originally wanted to claim my usual birthday-ish spot for official stream, but then an opportunity presented itself to get the last streaming slot of the year. It went surprisingly well, too, I had nothing but the underlaying doodle and something short of 2 hours to work this, and I'm pretty happy with the result. Apparently all the wyrmling practice I got over the Summer paid off. And I also learned something about sketching efficiency, so that could be neat to exploit more in the future.<...

December Poll Results

Greetings, kind patrons.

While you were (hopefuly) feasting and keeping to your loved ones, the December poll ran its course and the results for the new hybrid design experiment are in!

It was the first time I tried running a purely design oriented poll, as well as the trial run for Patron/Discord sourcing of polls, and... well... you guys have some serious soft spot for carnivores.

Although the o...

(NEW) December Choice Poll: Homebrew Creature

So, imagine making a poll and then forgetting it in your drafts... Anyways.

Edit: Imagine you are also a dumbass and get lost in Patreon's new settings, and you set the poll wrong so you have to publish it twice... (Sorry about that.)

I thought for a while what would I like the December poll to be, because the usual "pick one of my WIPs to work on during a stream" felt a bit bland for the season. So I thought to go beyond that format a bit, and let you pick what I...

Thank You

2023 has not been the easiest year for anyone, I think. But the kindness and support you guys have shown me at its close is something that will stay with me a lot longer than most of the ill news. I may not be capable of replying to everything, but know that every word is seen, it is felt and it is deeply appreciated.

I am definitely not done for the year, however. Tomorrow, there will be a new poll waiting for you to vote in (from this point onward, only for the Legacy and five-and-abo...

Stream Report – November Poll

Reporting the progress from last weekend's public stream, with topic chosen from last poll.

I had no idea where to take this where I started – whether to make it a generic pinup as the very rough doodle suggested, or actually try and do something interesting with it. And apparently, full illustration is where it will attempt to go.

I will let it rest for December, since my schedule is quite packed (and I think the piece will benefit from me coming to it with fresh eyes), but I w...

November Choice Poll

I promised to bring polls back, and what better time to do it than right away?

This time around, you get to decide what I work on during the next weekend (25th and 26th) at a public Picarto stream.

This is the last poll available to all patrons, because it did not feel right to just cut people off on such a short notice. From next month up, these will be reserved to Backstage Pass holders and Legacy patrons (2023-11-20 12:06:11 +0000 UTC View Post

Important News (please, at least skim this)

A notice to all my patrons: I have news I need you to read and I will need your assistance.

Trust me, I absolutely understand if you're not all that keen on reading a wall of text, but there's information that requires sharing, so please, lend me your eyeballs and screenreaders for a minute or three.

In the briefest terms:

* Patreon tiers are changing, and perks distribution with them
* I need you to swap tiers accordingly to keep your rewards
* Guild Wars 2 c...
