Sisu Leash sketch

One concept out! Why yes, I COULD extend the canvas just a little more downward if you ask nicely. ;P

I know I am a "thiccmancer" but let's be honest, Sisu calls for a lithe figure.

Poll Results

(remember that I tally these from both Substar and Patreon combined)

Cadance won with 9 votes.

Mal0 came in second with 7, Gatomon third with 5. This was actually fairly close!

She sweeeeem

Oh man I... I spent DAYS choosing colors. I did, however, settle on a palette!

As a reminder: This is not the Sisu y'all voted for. Just a practice piece for me. Hope you like it.

Future character poll

While I am working on my Sisu stuff, here's another question for future projects.

Choose your fighter.

Can anybody help me out?

Patreon's UI is confusing me immensely. I am following a few other creators and am subscribed to one.

Since I have a creator account... I can't figure out how to find them. Everything I click on just seems to be information about MY posts/page/analytics.

Where has Patreon moved the basic "stuff I follow" tab to? I genuinely cannot find it and am getting very frustrated.

Further Sisu Practice

Apologies for another WIP of the same picture. Picking and adjusting her palette is taking me more time than anticipated. I did intend to finish this today so I could draw the lewd anthro Sisu, but this IS my practice image for her. I guess taking my time is probably good.

Sisisisisisisisisisu

Progress! My brain is DRAGGIN'.

Get it? Get iiiiiiit?

Subscription billing

Hokay, Patreon finally fixed an old issue they had. I have enabled it.

When people join my Patreon they will only be charged on THAT day every month from there forward, rather than being billed on the first starting the following month. This prevents double-billing for people who join late in a cycle.

For old patrons nothing changes since you've already been here.

Checking in

I can never tell if making check in posts is more annoying than just going silent for a while? It's hard to guess. Let me know.

Anyhow, I have been hesitant to say this since I don't want to come off as a drama queen but after getting my blood pressure medication sorted I still just haven't felt well. A lot of little real world stresses piled up all at once and I am truthfully having a hard time, and it's making art feel like a slogging chore. Stress and exhaustion does that.

Sinc...

Sisu doodle thing

NOTE: This is not the Sisu image voted on, I am just doing it to loosen up and practice some Sisu.

Anyway, I got a ways in and then something knocked the wind out my sails today so here's a preview. Don't worry it was nothing too bad, just typical human drama.

Got the dang pills

FINALLY got my medication filled.

Specifically it is blood pressure medication. If that doesn't sound dramatically important to you, then you probably don't have blood pressure issues. haha

I gotta tell you I felt like I weighed a thousand tons and had a headache every day. Today I feel a little better, since yesterday I got to take it again for the first time in over a week.

Turns out the pharmacy lost their tech so... nobody did the job...

Medication issue/art slow

uuuuuuugh I hate having to make these posts.

So here's what's been going on in my real space. The pharmacy or the doctor or somebody screwed up and I have been without a very important medication for about a week now. One of the major effects of not having this medication (especially after you have been taking it for years) is that you are extremely tired very quickly.

I HAVE been drawing, but I am finding it so hard to stay awake or awake-enough for long periods of tim...

How to prepare dragon noodle

How you want your Sisu?

Sleepaloo (finished)

SHE DONE! :D I could NOT decide on which of these pajama color schemes I preferred so you get both. This is why coloring takes me forever.

SIX variants... man, I try not to make too many but here we are. Some of these have eyeshadow and lipstick. Scandalous!

Be back Monday

Forgive me for this but I am just going to take the weekend off. The last few days kinda IRL burnt me out and I need a break to just veg and game.

Sleepaloo will be finished soon! :)

Yeeeeah there's a clear winner

It's miss Sisu of Dragonstanburg. I am pleasantly surprised at how wide a margin her poll victory is!

Paralysis Poll

I have hit severe option paralysis with characters I wish to draw. I am also riddled with ADD and can't steamroll all of them in one sitting like some other artists. SO for near future projects, which of these would you folks like to see something of?

I am leaving the G5 ponies off of this poll because... well frankly I know my audience and they'd just win outright. haha

Why does Patreon force me to title these

FURTHER SLEEPALOO WIP

Linework done? I think. Sans the bed of course. I will stare at it a bit.

Sleepaloo WIP

TODAY WAS WEIRD. Our router died and I lost internet for a good while while we went to replace it. I am not DONE drawing this tonight perse, but I definitely lost a buttload of time.

So here's a WIP. Scootaloo! An old picture being completed and updated as per my routine these days.

Emperor Furias

This is going public since it's not really what people pay me for. I really needed to take a detour from my usual routine though because I was very much beginning to wilt.

I felt a strong bout of inspiration to draw "Emperor" Furias from Granblue Fantasy. I can't believe I fell so hard for this little butthead. This could very well be the only dedicated fanart of him... at all.

Poll result

haha WELL after tallying the poll (combined from Patreon and Substar as I do) Scootaloo won by ONE vote.

Yes I see.

Decision poll

No time to explain!

Cave buggo V2

Derp eye illusion fixed?

The original version is still in the downloads if you want it. VVV

Chrysalis taken down for now

Re-evaluating that Chrysalis picture. People kept thinking she was wall eyed, so I grew to loathe it and am going to obsess over it until it's better.

Yinglestia

Would you chase this scav?

Edit: I defined her other knee better- noticed in post it was a bit smooth before.

Coming soon

Two upcoming pictures! One SFW queen Chrysalis, and one NSFW Yinglet Celestia. AKA Yinglestia.

But Twi Tho

Fun fact: those might be Celestia's panties.

Twilight Linework

Linework done! I think... I would color it right now but the heat is KILLING me, I have to wait for things to cool off just a bit. Celestia, PLS.

I am still coughing like mad but I can draw again wheeeee!

One more health check in

I am no longer testing positive. All that's left now is a nagging almost CONSTANT cough that is knocking my brain around, and some associated aches.

I am nearly well enough to get going again with normal life. I just need the cough to ease up so I can have more than 2 minutes between each fit.

Covid update

Covid is really keeping me pretty glued to resting. I have tried drawing but sitting in this chair for more than ten or so minutes makes me feel sleepy and sometimes dizzy.

I can't explain it but there's a weird extra strain on anything that takes brain power. Likewise, an effect Covid has had on me is robbing me of nearly all arm strength and stamina. So the act of drawing also feels physically more demanding.

I am so sorry, please bear with me. I expect that in a few days I'l...
