Monthly Illustration #6

Does this really mean the Patreon's been open for 6 months? Crazy to consider! Fittingly this 6th Monthly Illustration also took 6 hours. I finished this one on stream, it was really fun!

The crew goes to play in the snow. Dema maybe has a few complaints about the temperature.

12/19/21 Livestream

Update: Ended-- thanks for coming! Hey! 

I'm live now, and will be for probably quite a while as I work on this. I'll update this post when I'm no longer live. 

I'm doing this through Picarto, but that may change in the future if I find a better service. I'm just more familiar with Picarto. Working on monthly illustration, but gonna get stream announcements live first.

12/16/21 Update + Livestream Announcement

Pardon the quiet over here! I got my wisdom teeth out and it took way more out of me than anticipated. I usually like to have the Monthly Illustration finished by the 17th (since that was when I posted the first one all that time ago) but given the situation I'm sure everyone understands! 

I'm starting to recover now thankfully. I'm working on commissions right now and I was thinking this weekend I'll livestream the work for the illustration! Specifically I'm thinking we'll start a...

Comic + No Text Alt + New Character 12/5/21

Hey! I've been dabbling with comics a little-- this is a practice page... I've always wanted to work on comics. Seeing how helpful monthly illustrations have been to my painting skills has more than encouraged me to consider expanding into comics as well. Of course, monthly illustrations will remain unchanged. But! Maybe soon I'll begin to start up sequences of short comics between the cast of characters I'm building here. 

This practice page will be public to give folks a taste fo...

Monthly Illustration 6 - Poll B [Thumbnails]

Here's the new batch of thumbnails! I used all three characters... cause it was just so fun. Not too many wild compositions this time but I still like the concepts.

Alts 12/3/21

Here's a couple alternate versions of recent commissions! The alleyway one is a YCH that hasn't been posted publicly yet, I wanted to get the commissioner's name to put down first before I did so. But I'm very happy with that one! I'm going to be working on thumbnails for the Monthly Illustration today.

WIPs 11/28/21

For some recent commissions! Still taking these on right now too. 

Monthly Illustration 6 - Poll A

Here we go once more! Added the option to return to last week's thumbnails as well since it seemed that was quite the difficult decision for everyone. There's still a lot of potential left there! I'd also like to do some livestreams as I work on this illustration, I'll notify everyone closer to when the time comes so you can plan accordingly!

Update 11/24/21

Howdy everyone! 

Fantastic news, I came home from a visit with friends to find that my roommate had helpfully signed for my laptop! It's repaired and all is as it should be, so I can continue to work as usual. Thanks for your patience in the meantime. 

Commissions are open to all at the moment, $10 patrons though as usual receive priority in completion and in slots in case that's useful to anyone here to know. With the free access to art again I'm likely going to begin p...

Monthly Illustration #5 - Timelapse

Here’s the progress behind it! Let me know if this way of showing links works, I can link it differently if not.

Monthly Illustration #5

Here we go! Picked one to split the tie and plucked away at this over several days on a road trip. My best friend was gracious enough to let me use his IPad for this beast, so I was learning Procreate and adjusting to everything along the way.

As of right now I’ve received no update on my laptop, but rest assured I’ll continue to figure ways to be able to complete the stuff I need to. Let’s all hope for a speedy return, though!

Thanks everyone! Enjoy!

WIP 11/6/21

A WIP from my most recent commission! Bear with me while I’m computerless, they shipped my laptop to another state for repairs confusingly. Monthly illustration will still be completed as expected, I’ll likely just be working on my best friend’s IPad to do so when I see him the week of the 14th. Worst case scenario it should just be a little late.

Monthly Illustration 5 - Poll B

This is going to be a tough one to choose! I‘m really pleased with these concepts. They‘re traditionally drawn this time since I had to send off my laptop to get repaired (the screens not working— pretty important  to get that fixed ASAP hah!) though it should be back in early November as far as I know now.

Assume all of these have pee, some of it was a little harder to distinguish t...

Monthly Illustration 5 - Poll A

Whole fresh batch of options here including a new character to throw at Strife!

This is Dema: https://i.imgur.com/Fe7kscQ.png

You all know what Moth looks like by now, I'd think. 

Heads up btw, updates may be slim for a week or two-- my laptop screen has broken and needs repairs (I'm using a TV right now in place of the monitor to finish current commissions hah) and I'll be sending it in to get thin...

Commission Slots Open 10/12/21

In case anyone here is interested, I have a few commission slots open specifically for Patrons right now! I'll probably open to the public again in a week or so. Message me here, on FA, or lameboast@gmail.com works too!

Monthly Illustration #4 - Timelapse

14 minutes of pure hardcore painting for your viewing pleasure. Not sure if you guys prefer longer or shorter timelapses, so I've been experimenting with both!

Monthly Illustration #4

Strife and Moth pause on the way home from a party. Strife's half-assed efforts to hit her target is my favorite part of this.

WOW! Super proud of this one. I just got absolutely sucked into the painting and powered through over the past two days or so. I'm really thrilled with the result, I feel like I've leveled up my painting skills, and I'm hitting the goals I've wanted to hit by making these illustrations. I ask that you zoom in to take a close look at the details on this one.

Monthly Illustration 4 - Poll B [Thumbnails]

The time has arrived! Had a lot of thoughts about this one. 

Settled on just these four, some still Halloween themed haha.

Wip 10/5/21

Little progress on a commission I'm pretty happy with already! Going to get thumbnails for our next monthly illustration going as well.

Thinking I may start sharing smaller personal (on-theme, dont worry!) sketches here... More Strife and maybe a few more friends potentially. 

Wips 9/30/21

Here's some commission progress! I need to collect the snaps of the last Patreon Illustration for some progress too, looks like my timelapse feature was flipped off though. I'll make sure it's on for the next. Speaking of! Thumbnails for those will go up in early October. 

Thanks everyone! Have a good weekend!

Monthly Illustration 4 - Poll A

It's that time again! 

I'm bias towards the Halloween option... Drawing her in the fall background was already a blast, I'd love to make some fun ones based around my favorite holiday. Might do multiple if I can't pick between sketches for that one haha.

Monthly Illustration #3

Here's Strife enjoying a warm fall day! Lots of fun to work on-- I've really been enjoying these illustrations and I hope you like them as much as I do. I'm in a very autumnal mood and this seemed like a good way to scratch that itch. I'll probably add Halloween themed as a suggestion for the next poll too. 

I've noticed some improvement too between this and my first illustration! Feels good.

The previous monthly illustration goes live today!

WIPs 9/14/21

One fresh wip and one from a posted commission.

Comm 14 + 15 Alts

Just a few varieties on these! Gonna get wips uploaded shortly after this as well. I'm plugging away on both commissions and the upcoming monthly illustration (moving forward with thumbnail 3.)

So excited to share more! Hope everyone's having a good week so far.

Monthly Illustration 3 - Poll B [Thumbnails]

An answer finally came out top for our last poll! Here's a couple of thumbnails for the great outdoors theme. A few of these are slightly more developed just because I had fun working on them. Let me know which one you'd like to see done up all fancy!

Commission Slots [OPEN] 8/28/21

Opening these up! I'll take about as many as I think I can handle. These will open to the public next Saturday (unless I've got a ton of interest here.)

Prices have been raised as you can see. I've had a couple folks tell me they should be raised, plus with Paypal fees increasing it just seemed like the natural next step. Eventually I'd like to change over to Paypal alts, but we'll get there. Thanks everyone! 

If you're interested in a commission, contact me through FA or thr...

Monthly Illustration 3 - Poll A

Here we go!

 I'm still experimenting with how exactly I want to do these, but I've gone ahead and removed the option that won last time as well as the lowest voted option. The other three have been continued, featuring two fresh ones. I hope this provides enough variety while also still including options folks enjoyed before! These will be broken down in Poll B via thumbnails, as was the deal with the previous polls. 

Ideally pick one, I just forgot to turn the option to...

Monthly Illustration 2 - Timelapse

Here's the timelapse for the beach picture! It's cool to see the painting come together... and how much of a difference adding a bolder outline makes. Check it out!

Monthly Illustration #2

His relaxing beach day... ruined. Or maybe not, he's into this sort of thing. 

Love how this turned out, especially the lighting on Strife. I hope you all enjoy as well. Thanks for everyone's votes! The next polls will go up shortly, this will go live to the public a month from now, and process videos are coming soon, as will be the standard for how things will work here on the Patreon. 

Thanks for your support so far and I'm excited to do more of these!

WIPs - Monthly Illustration 2 / Comm 14

Here's what I've been working on! My job has officially begun to slow down so I can finally spend more time working on the Patreon. 

I decided to put our second Illustration outside on the beach anyways because I realized we'd see a really similar angle of Moth's room to our first one. Plus, I'm just too tempted to draw the lighting set up there. Strife's body type isn't quite right yet, her thighs need to be a bit thicker... but we're moving along! Should be right on track for thi...
