Polaroid (Original) Timelapse

Sorry for the delay on this I'm so unbelievably busy...
Edit: Video wasn't uploaded properly for some reason, should be fixed now, sorry about that!

Speaking of, there's currently a Kana plushie campaign going on!

It's a means of gauging interest before moving on to the actual design/production phase of the plushie, so if you're interested in having your own Kana, you can support it for only $2 here: 2024-10-01 21:33:32 +0000 UTC View Post

Polaroid

Process for this will be up this Monday for silver patrons!

Random quick(ish) thing I did yesterday night because my commissions weren't going well but I didn't want to waste the day.

It was actually done in color, but I wasn't feeling them in the end

"Sexy" Alys Doodle

Did another one of these to like, destress by doing something brainless I guess.

Again based on a thing @ccinyo made

Shuten and Ibuki Commission [WIP]

I'm very likely going to start the painting on this one over, but I figured I might as well post what I did.

I got part of the way though and realized that I should really be working from front to back with this one.

Meaning that the mouth closeups should take priority, and then I'll be able to figure out what exactly I want to do to compliment them as I get to Shuten and then to Ibuki, rather than just doing random things with Ibuki without a concrete plan for how the whole pai...

SweetCanvas Weekly #16

Updates!!

  • As of now, the demo is maybe ~10% complete! Like, complete complete. "Mostly ready to be seen," complete.

    Can't give a solid percentage, since certain things take longer than others to do, and I may or may not include more of the full game in the demo if I feel like I have the time, but as for what I currently plan to include, we're one tenth of the way through it.

    There was a lot of trial and error, as well as just generally havin...

Water Trainer [WIP]

I was going to do a bit more for this before I put it on hold, like add lighter accents to the bottom of her hair "streams," but my thumb has been sore as of like two days ago so I've been resting it instead

I'll be getting back to commissions after doing some SC work rather than continuing this, so it'll be a little while until she's fully realized

Another (minor) SweetCanvas demo progress update is coming Monday, so stay tuned for that if you're following those!

Water Trainer Sketch [WIP]

We're doing that thing again that we did last year where we design Pokémon trainers in the Patreon server (and the SweetCanvas server, but there are a lot of the same people across those two).

I'm straying a bit further away from Pokémon design philosophy and closer to just what I like doing this time around

"Sexy" Peal Doodle

Obviously not canon! @ccinyo (on twitter) did some really nice pieces of fanart of Alys and then Peal in response to:

And I liked them so much that I wanted to do my own rendition of the altered outfit they drew really quickly. I might do Alys based on their version at some point in between my other work as well, we'll see

I obviously can't share their work here, since it's not mine to s...

Shuten and Ibuki Commission [WIP]

Not entirely sold on the colors yet, but I'll need to actually start painting before I start stressing over it too much, since I feel like it's probably just a value issue

SweetCanvas Weekly #15

Updates!

First off, and most importantly:

  • As you can see, SweetCanvas is real! It exists!

    It has for a long while actually, in some form or another, but there were certain things that I didn't have figured out yet, and I also didn't want to give people the impression that the demo was coming soon when it wasn't.

    The demo still isn't coming "soon," per se, but I hope to have everything polished and ready to present to the public by the end of the year, ideally....

SweetCanvas Update

Going to start with the "minor" things:

  • All the sound work for the demo is complete. As in, I've either designed, edited, or procured all the sound effects required for at least the demo period of the game. I've never really brought this up because it was difficult to quantify, I just had to do it linearly until I felt like it was done.

  • All the characters that appear in the demo, including all side characters (outside of Hau and Torin) have all of their expression...

Magical Grillz Sketch [WIP]

Just something for me to be able to post on twitter. Also basically what I always default to when I'm getting back into the swing of things, it's like a prerequisite at this point.

Fat Practice

Did this partially to aid in having some diversity in the posing tutorial, since obviously the actual build of the character will play a part in their center of gravity, silhouette and so on. Mostly have stayed away from these kinds of specifics in the current draft of the posing tutorial, since I wanted to make it something of a comprehensive "start," so much of it is conceptual now, but I might make it into a series of tutorials rather than just the one so that I can also cover the specific...

Update

Extremely sorry for the radio silence recently. There's just been too much going on. I made a twitter post about it but there were a variety of issues that I was tackling all at once, and money problems were one of the main issues, since I had some health related problems that I just could not afford to deal with at the time.

I've just been under a lot of stress for reasons I'd rather not get into right this second, so much of my absence was my retreating into doing things that I e...

Tutorial Poll!

Hello again! As mentioned in the previous update, this poll will be up for three days and the winner will be the first tutorial, or possibly series of tutorials, depending on how robust the subject is, that I tackle.

Unlike previous polls, if tutorials end up being successful (as in, people actually care about them and also find them useful) I'll be doing all of the options eventually, so keep that in mind. You're just voting for the one you want to see first.

Also if yo...

Update!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to post some quick updates:

First of all, I have finally decided to start making TUTORIALS as of next month.

I've spent a majority of this month collecting and organizing my resources, as well as organizing my thoughts in pursuit of that goal. I will still need to actually write and create the tutorials, which is why I'm saying that they're starting next month but can't yet promise that they'll be out nex...

Updates!

  • Kana's Karaoke outfit is now full rendered on all of the necessary sprites, meaning that all of Kana's alternate outfits (demo wise) are now complete. Ironically, this is the first alternate outfit that shows up, so I'm not sure why I saved it for last

Body Sketch

Was going through my files and found a bunch of things that I never posted here so I'll be posting them randomly when I have nothing else to I guess. Think I drew this to try and figure out some style decisions I had been starting to make while drawing bodies back in August of last year
