2025 - June Poll Winner

Damao wins! Which means we'll be sending him off to vacation...with Neil!!!

Don't worry, Damao will still be the focus of the piece itself. Neil will just be there for some moral support. And a little bit of judgement I guess. With what I had in mind, that is.

I actually didn't catch on the shipping potential between the two of them when I was watching the show, interestingly enough. Lynn and Nick were too distracting apparently. But fan arts I've seen has made me quite the beli...

2025 - June Poll

Time for ASS!

***

Which is short for All Saints Street of course! What else eh?

Oh man, I feel this is like a "return to roots" kind of thing for me! For those of you that didn't know, my art looks the way it does right now because of the decision I made several years ago to emulate the art style of All Saints Street (more so the promotional art made for the tv series instead of the show...

2025 - May Exclusive - Doug

Now that I think about it...why didn't he just sit down? Like, there's still space there! It's almost like Doug just wants to loom over people—in a non-intimidating, super friendly manner of course!

***

And look who finishes the monthly reward ON THE ACTUAL MONTH it's for! Haha sorry, I just gotta remark on that cuz it seems like I was on a streak of being late every time 😆

2025 - WIP - May Reward

Oof, in a train while in front of some rando? Doug must be really embarrassed about all this eh?

***

Like I said, I wanted to at least connect the concept to Doug's love for fandom stuff so we catch him in a train shortly after leaving a con he staffed for! I hope you guys appreciate the Juan dakimakura lol. I was thinking of adding more props like some paper bags filled with con merch but I thought against it since it would cover up too much...but I dunno I might change my mind a...

2025 - May Poll Winner

Doug Campbell wins!!!

Is this the effect of recency bias??? I could've sworn Brian would have a bigger, more established fanbase haha. Though I suppose with how the Lycaon/Ben poll ended and now this, I suppose you guys have a type eh? Well no matter, I'll have a lot of fun with Doug 😊

I have to admit that my concept for the reward itself is a little bit nebulous at the moment. I'm gonna ha...

2025 - Bonus - Men of the Valley Update: Sebastian & Linus

Started working on the next update for the portrait pack and we've got Seb and Linus done!

Sebastian

So Sebby! Truth be told, I'm not all that interested in this guy as a character; I've never made it a point to particularly raise his heart levels in my playthroughs of the game. Well actually, I am rather fond of Sebastian—at least the versions of him I've read in certain fan fiction...

2025 - May Poll

Coming at you hot with the poignant question: which flavor of green ye be???

***

Eyy, Monster Prom! Why have I not thought about this??? Like seriously, I've been enamored with quite a bit of characters from there and I've never thought of doing them here—until now! So pick between these lovely green dorks who I'll get to razzle dazzle HAHAHA!!!! 😈

What does that even mean. Ugh, som...

Announcement: We are so back!

Heyo! I'm happy to report that my month-long gallivanting in the wilderness has given me a much needed refresh and I'm now ready to get back to the swing of things again 😊

I do already have an idea for the May poll and goodness me, why have I not thought about it before??? That'll be up this weekend so stay tuned for it.

Huh...I swear I'd have more to say but I guess I don't LOL. See you on the next post!

2025 - March Exclusive - Zinogre

Well at least it didn't go past mid-April to get this done 😅

***

Pack contains base image plus 8 variants.

Yoho! I told you guys I'm in a burnout; took me ages to get this done! Ah well...I do love that I get a zinogre OC out of it so hey, silver linings eh?

I'm actually quite tempted to develop him as a character with that simple backstory I mentioned on the wip post but I still...

Announcement: April Break

Yup, I'm going on another month-long sabbatical into the jungle; don't miss me too much!

Joking aside, it's been a while now since I've noticed the continually dropping productivity in my art-making and as a matter of course-correction, I've decided it would be for the better if I took a month off of doing patreon every now and then. See, I think I've just been in denial about actually suffering from a burnout which has started about halfway through last year. And I gotta face the music...

2025 - WIP - March Reward

What if zinogre but a pastel punk bassist???

***

Would you guys believe it if I said that this pastel thing was entirely influenced by me watching a video essay about the Boyfriends webtoon? LOL If you know, you know.

At first, I was actually gonna go do him being all cool in a stage performance but I thought depicting our dear bassist here in a more chill vibe was the way to go. So we get to see him trying out some tunes and writing a song (thus that notepad on the desk). H...

2025 - March Bonus Alt: Team Aqua

Just some eco-terrorist taking a day off at the beach. Can't be trying to flood the world 24/7 now, no?

***

So remember last month when I said I had an idea for an Archie thing? Well here it is!

I like to think that Team Aqua must have some kind of "home beach" where they just hang around whenever they're not being idiots trying to cause a world-wide deluge. Maxie here apparently d...

2025 - March Poll Winner!

Oh I should have known; of course everyone favorite's poster child lightning doggo would win.

***

Yep, it's Zinogre we're hunting for March!

Hmm...I gotta admit, despite what I've said about having concepts for each of the monsters, Zinogre is the one which I'm most vague about. All I know is that I want to draw him with that sick electric-guitar-looking hunting horn of his! Maybe some kind of rockstar concept then? We'll see!

Oh by the way, the cute concept I mentione...

2025 - March Poll

We're hunting monsters!

***

And by hunting, I mean drawing of course. LOL I literally just thought about this an hour ago; I thought it would be a cheeky thing to do with the recent launch of Monster Hunter Wilds, so here's some of my favorite monsters! At least in their MH World iteration, these three have been the monsters I've consistently had fun hunting. Okay ngl Rajang was a massiv...

2025 - February Exclusive - Hajime

February Reward Update

So it's happening again, we're gonna get the February reward a bit delayed 😑

Progress update for this one: I've just finished painting the base bodies for these two. Which leaves us with the clothes and the background yet to be done. I'll try to finish it over the weekend so that we can then proceed to actually doing the March poll next week.

Just a reminder: the February reward getting delayed will not affect the March reward. Like before, we're still gonna have at least one a...

WIP February Exclusive: Hajime...and Hajime???

Yeah so I checked the fortnite wiki and found out about his possessed form so...😊

***

Hehe another self shipping nonsense from yours truly? More likely than you think apparently. Anyway, concept for this is Hajime enjoying some mochi during sakura matsuri! So expect this to later have a bunch of pretty sakura petals wafting about. And hey, our tanuki samuri just so has happened to have summoned his evil spirit counterpart! For a more efficient eating experience. He sure has a p...

Adoptable: Obsidian Sun 🌞

Okay just to be clear: this is not a patreon exclusive. Just thought I might as well promote this here too! The auction is currently live at both my blue sky and twitter account so please do check out my post over those platforms if you wanna bid.

Here are links for bluesky and tw...

2025 - February Poll Winner!

Hajime wins! 🥳🎉

And hey, I was actually hoping he'd win; thanks you guys! You know me so well ehe 😉

I don't have a concrete concept for it now but I'll cook something up. Also, I have an idea for a bonus image pack; not sure if I'm gonna have time to finish it this month though. I will say that it's gonna be about Archie ohoho.

Well, see you later this month!

2025 - February Poll

Fortnite fans rejoice!

So after a string of pokemon related illustrations (LOL I even have to work on a pokemon commission after posting this), I thought taking a different direction would be a great breather and we landed on fortnite dudes! Fortnite furries more like, actually.

I've already put Oscar in a poll before but he didn't win back then so I hope you guys don't mind if I put ...

2025 - January Exclusive: Prof. Turo

Ya'll ever look at your robotic replica like you wanna...treat them with respect??? 👀💦

Oh my god, the layering on this can go shove it actually. I spen...

January Reward Delay

Kinda inauspicious for me to be getting delays as early as January but here we are.

I unfortunately won't be able to finish the Turo illustration before the month ends; don't worry it's still coming and it won't affect the February award at all. IRL stuff just prevented me from working on it but it is still in the works. As mentioned in my last post, I'm hoping that this coming weekend would give me the time to sit down and finish it.

Now speaking on the February exclusive, expect...

WIP January Exclusive: Prof. Turo

Why he grabbing his hair like that though? Talk about self-hatred 🤷‍♂️

***

One again, I'm cutting it close you guys! Not too sure if this'll be done before the end of the month but it will BE completed at some point that's for sure.

On to the piece itself, some of you might remember that Turo fan art I did last year where RoboTuro was holding a projection of the late professor in his arms. Well this is kind of an inversion of that where real!Turo is doing the holdin...

Bonus: Men of the Valley Update - Sam & Morris

Yo! Been a while since I came out with an update for this pack. I did actually finish Morris back in December but didn't make a post about it since it was still technically my break. Whatever the case, here they are!

By the way, someone on nexus commented on my mod page that apparently, the winter variants of the pack weren't working all this time!?!?!? I looked around other portrait packs and turns out, I've mistitled my files. I've already fixed it so it should be fine hereon. (If yo...

January Poll Winner!

Professor Turo takes the first spot of the year!

Sigh...I actually knew that adding him in this would inevitably skew votes in his favor cuz...well Turo is just THAT powerful; this is known LOL.

Hmm, I'm probably gonna do something with him and his robot, much like that piece I did of him last year (if any of you remember/have seen that). But with a little bit more tension, if you get my drift. Cuz you know, Turo's got to be a little bit obsessed with himself if he ...

January Poll

 Hello guys, I'm back!!!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday season? Mine was fairly underwhelming and kinda stressful but oh well; it is what it is. Anyhow enough about that and let's get back in the swing of things with the first poll of the year!

Yeah, I haven't gotten over the pokemon mood so once again, we have a bunch of men from there. But this time, it's the professors! Honestly ...

Announcement: Update on the December break

Okay, TLDR: I am still taking a break this month but instead of using the "pause billing" function on patreon, I am gonna be manually giving out refunds for people who get charged for December. Provided, of course, that you subbed before December.

So why have I decided to change my mind? See, patreon allows creators to pause billing for a certain amount of time so that they can take a break without incurring charges to their subscribers. However, the way they implemented it is by making...

November Exclusive: Drayden

Oh he's getting real cranky with all that paper work. And by "cranky," I mean progressively...losing bits of clothing???

***

You guys, I really did try to finish this yesterday but what have you😣 At least, this time it's just a day into December eh? I guess it didn't help that I went for a more fully realized scene as opposed to "character in void" type of deal. But hey, I think it lo...

Announcement: December Break

So as mentioned in the previous post, I'm planning on taking a month off for December to just enjoy the holidays and I guess brace myself for the coming year. To that end, I'll be putting billing for December on hold. Don't worry, this won't require any actions from you guys; all work should be sorted out on my end.

Specifically, I'll be putting it on hold on the 7th of December (GMT +8), to give time to the people who might want to subscribe to do so after I've posted the November rewa...

Wip November Exclusive: Drayden

Yohoho, merry christmas!

Okay lol, it's not quite christmas yet but yay so near already!!!

So one thing I will admit is that I...am a fake pokemon fan 😞 That is, I do not actually enjoy the games all that much and have, for the most part, avoided playing them. I tried getting into it with Sun and Moon but dropped it because I was literally falling asleep whilst playing it and took it as a sign that it was just not for me... and not as a sign that I was stupidly trying to play...
