On the up and up...

Winter's almost over, thank goodness! We're on the last stretch and I'm so excited.

Hmmm... what is there to talk about? Lots! Life is finally starting to look pretty good on my end, I'm getting my health in order and doing everything I can to keep it that way. I realized something pretty big regarding my overall recently that would have been nice to know a few years ago, but it's always better late than never. I realized that like... you don't heal overnight from the bodily abuse I put...

Big Stretch

Okay, okay, I'll draw too. 

I have to get up and get moving again anyways, so here we go, up and at 'em. Atta girl. You got this. Let those bones crack, get those muscles loosened up, and let's go on that adventure you were talking about.

Taking advice to heart...

Change is good. That was said somewhere else before, right? I've been beating myself up for changing, becoming different than who I was, when it's all part of the process. You can't really hold on to stuff like that, all those memories accumulate and create a brand new person. All those experiences, they teach us what we stand for and what matters most to us. I was fighting a lot of it due to social conditioning, and it was only until 6 months ago I decided change was drastically needed. I ne...

REQUESTS

Every Patron can ask me to draw fan art of a character from a franchise (basically, anything that isn't an Original Character). 

Feel free to ask me to draw fan art of one of your favorite characters, and I will add it to the list below. You can ask me to draw something specific involving the character or leave it up to me to decide.

In the event where I've finished your request but you've deleted your pledge, you can message me on social media with your Patron info and I wil...

Zapdos Procreate Process

Ok, this one isn't much but it's something, I'm dumb and drew the sketch in Procreate and then finished in CLIP, which means I didn't record the rendering process.

Hopefully you enjoy watching me fumble over my brain as I try to draw well while pushing through illness! I hope things get a little easier for me over time, I hate comparing myself to who I used to be. All I know is I have to keep trying, I'm not dead yet.

In the attachments are the PSD to make up for n...

FOX PORTRAIT (Procreate) 1

Hola, sorry about yesterday's post, I thought you could just upload videos to Patreon willy nilly no problem, but simple smooth brain over here just realized it's a tad more complicated.

Anyways, complications are out of the way and here's the video! <3 Thanks for bearing with me. 

Fox portrait time lapse

Trying my "old" rendering style on procreate, though it's awkward because I'm so used to using SAI :')

LUTHIAI Character Prototype

I had a character from a long time ago named Luthian, who was a knight dog, very loyal and protective in nature. I love his design so much, that I am happy to announce that he will be appearing in my comic as a character. Though his original design will change, his concept will remain pretty much the same (just this time, the whole helmet is his face!)

Below is his first concept, made sometime in 2010, and the second sketch is a working prototype for his new design.

TYRANTULA (LAO TERLA) UPDATE - Region prototypes

Aaaa finally a new update, although it may seem minor, the areas of the world are very important for the story, and I finally have them drafted out!

And as I said, with TYRANTULA being a working title, I'm changing the working title to Lao Terla, the name of the planet, since it's a little more generic and makes more sense to where the story is at right now.

So, here are the text regions, there will be a map coming eventually! I have a draft but it needs to be marked.

Main Character Concepts + Prototypes

So. We finally have the bones of the two main protagonists (if you want to call them that). They are contrasting characters, both female, who are accompanied by guardian-type beings along their journey. Though the designs are yet to be firmly set in stone, but the two girls are on their way to becoming solid...

CHARACTER CONCEPT #002

Fleshing out some color schemes, though I'm not sure if I'm happy with these. She probably needs some clothes to compliment her. 

Wooloo HD PNG + PSD

Layers are in folders!

Please enjoy!

CREATURE CONCEPT #001

A medium-sized creature with extendable spikes. Has long dense fur to protect it from bites & scratches. Lives in colder climates. 

More information and creature profile will be provided at a later date.

First concept - Protagonist

So we have a solid form to the main character now, she is female and lives in a kind of forest. Her personality is curious, optimistic and naive. More information will be released about her this week as I complete her character profile. 

LIVE STREAM - JUNE 9th - MAIN CHARACTER ITERATIONS & CONCEPT

Working on iterations and different concepts for the main character.

TYRANTULA BASIC HIERARCHIES

Hierarchies

Celestial Roles

The highest to lowest ranked roles of supernatural beings

1. Roots: The Two Creator Paragons + The Third Lord (The Two Paragons Combined) - Basically, God #1 and God #2, though both are equal in power, and balance out the other. 
2. Deities - Mystics and old teachers who have been around since the start of creation to aid the Paragons.
3. Paradigms - Deities who walk with lifeforms to guide the...

TYRANTULA OUTLINE (first draft)

 To give you a better idea of what I have in store for TYRANTULA. Very very rough, so pardon the poor choice of words in some areas. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

"THE BIG IDEA"

The premise of the story is connecting humanity back to its spiritual roots among the gods. Most of the gods have been forgotten in modern areas, but in more wild areas, there lies a secret among the “uncivilized” nations. There seems to be something the beasts know...

TYRANTULA

Hello, as you may have been aware, the tiers have changed to 10$ a month to support the comic I've been wanting to write for years. This change was announced in this post on May 16th, though I was not sure the direction at the time, through much thinking I decided to just jump into my comic, since it's what I wanted to do in the first place. 

Right now, a lot of things are prototypes to t...

TYRANTULA STREAM #1

First TYRANTULA themed stream, going to be covering some super simple basics such as map and character design iterations.

Shop sale, early access + Update Info/Tier changes

Hey. So. As you may have noticed, the discount codes I've been trying haven't been easy for me to do with Shopify, so I was thinking for the discount codes, we switch that to "patrons get early access + large discount at time of sale".  As a patron, you will get an extra 10-20% discount (depending on the sale) compared to non-patrons until the sale ends.

Let's have an example right now since there are going to be new artworks in the shop.

For the next two hours, all patrons h...

Update, Discount codes

I am still learning how to do this efficiently, I honestly can't believe some of you are still here believing in me with how slow things have been. I'll draw two digital pieces before the end of the month to catch up from last.

As of last update, I got all caught up on my bills and my convention debt, so that's good news, but it left me no time for patreon! BUT NOW I'M FREE FOR REAL I just have to learn how to juggle all these things!

I'm having an Earth Day sale until 11:59pm E...

CONCEPT ART - "SOUL"

This character is designed for entertainment purposes, I'm hoping when I have the money someday I can make this character into a fursuit with articulated wings, and the character is all black except for when the wings open, which are laced with LEDs and UV reactive fabric... perhaps small stilts or heelless stilettos for the feet... I always wanted a fursuit with feet that weren't cumbersome so I could be free to run around, as I'm a super energetic person and just wanna run around and dance ...

SHADING STUDY PAGE #1

Here are some of my studies for shading! It's a bit outdated, I'd like to fix the errors, which will be a good learning experience! No mistakes, just happy accidents <3

COMMISSIONERS NOW HAVE THE OPTION TO SHARE THEIR WORK WITH PATREON

So, as you know, I do commissions to get by, and I like to keep the final HD commissioned work between me and my customer... But with the new customers in April, they now have an option to allow me to share a reduced resolution HD version of their artwork (I think 60-80% reduction, I have to check) with you folks so you can see that work too... Now that I write it out I might change it so they allow me to share WIPs and streams too so you guys get content first, instead of just a slightly red...

HOW TO START TAKING COMMISSIONS V 0.1

[ THIS IS NOT THE FINAL DRAFT! THIS POST WILL BE UPDATED WITH REVISIONS AS THEY COME ALONG. I have decided to post the unfinished version so you guys can ask questions now and and I can help make it less confusing. A LOT OF THIS IS NOT ORDERED CORRECTLY, so right now things might be a bit scrambled. Take a look, see if you can learn anything, and PLEASE! ASK QUESTIONS! I will be more than happy to answer, that is what this patreon is for! I will be working on this more when I get a c...
