Tier Updates Moving Forward

Hey there, just re-posting the message i sent a month ago talking about how the new tiers will work, with some updates for clarity!

Starting in October, every patron will once again be able to vote on a poll for a character that I do a full illustration/pinup of every month, like it used to be way earlier on. I'd like to offer more to lower tier patrons than just sketch collections and a say in the art that goes up on the page sounds like a perfect addition! Of course, this also means t...

October 22 Sketchdump

And we're back! I will be making a post talking about the official changes to tiers soon and the new monthly poll will be up in a day or two!

Patreon Structural Update + 1 Month Pause

Hello there, and thank you all for your continued support! I've been enjoying doing all of this for you guys and as someone with ADHD, its been great for structuring my work monthly! Because of that, I'm deciding to make some decently major updates to hopefully get more quality work out to you guys while also making things a little easier on my hands. 

The long and short of it is, after this month, I will no longer be offering the $20 sketch tiers. It's been really fun to do but I ...

UPDATE (Billing paused for October)

Hello, very sorry for the lack of content recently. It's been a rougher month than I hoped and I have fallen way behind patreon responsibilities. To give myself a break, and to make sure you are not charged for nothing in return, I have suspended billing for next month. I will still have content posted before the end of this month, since patrons were billed for this month. I just feel like I waited too long to deliver even if it is within the proper timeframe. If you have any questions, pleas...

AUGUST SKETCHDUMP IM NOT DEAD

So sorry for the delay, ive been moving from wisconsin to georgia and its been an absolute cluster of a situation. its been a week since we moved in properly, and im finally getting all settled in and ready to resume work as usual! I just have to check my notes for what i wanted to do as an exclusive piece this month because i forgot in the rush. i THINK it will involve a very big furry in mobility tech if the faint memory i have serves me well. if so then hell yeah itll be fun

Partly synthetic Otto design

Here are some concept drawings for an idea I haven't really played around with much: what if there was an Otto form that was partly robotic? For those not in the know, my fursona is a gooey shapeshifting hivemind creature and so all the different forms are just branches and clones that can do their own shenanigans. I've never thought of making part of the skin synthetic and having the goo be visible through a clear film though, lets me play with really bubbly water effects and cool gradients!...

IMPORTANT UPDATE

https://twitter.com/sketchbookrat/status/1417538529387765763?s=20

yeah to summarize im like. really in pain right now so patreon content progress is going to be slow for a bit. HOWEVER i can still upload some sketches and worldbuilding content sometime soon, maybe today if my painkillers kick in well enough.

Also, im going to lower the researcher tier to 7 dollars most likely,...

June sketchdump!!!

yooo sorry for the wait heres a bunch of sketches for yall! including some OCs that i need to make refs for soon! i have even more but ill wait a bit to post them because they come with some worldbuilding lore that i want to write up to explain them better!

Worldbuilding sketches!!

Here are some sketches of some mobility tech concepts i designed for my ongoing worldbuilding scheme. In summary, i made up a big super biodiverse planet named Sorus where there are a bunch of large nerd-type anthros who eat a bunch and do sciencey stuff. R.A.T is actually the name of my fursona, Otto's in-universe lab where he develops mobility tech and other things like that. (it stands for Regulated Assistive Technology cause im a dork.) I want to make a bunch more posts sharing all the st...

Some sketchpages!

here are a bunch of rambling sketches about a few of my OCs, i dont really draw them as much as my sona so these were fun to work on!

Completed monthly pinup piece + updates

hey there, sorry for the radio silence, moving really messed up my schedule but i got a  lot of time to think about how i wanted to structure this patreon to actually make it easier to work with given my mental issues. part of that will be discontinuing the monthly pinup series because i was definitely stressing out a lot about making them look really special and good even though i had fun making them. im gonna be doing more of the creative stuff i want and experimenting with fun paintin...
