SweetCanvas Update (August 2023)

Will be approaching this update specifically from the perspective of the demo release, since that's what I'm currently working towards, so keep that in mind! There's more that I could share, but it's all stuff that goes further than the demo will be.

There will be SPOILERS, pretty much by necessity since I want this to be the most comprehensive update so far.

Anyway, let's get straight into it, starting off with what's actually been completed since the last update...

General Patreon Update!

To give some context for this update, the SweetCanvas Kickstarter goal that we successfully reached wasn't ever going to fund the entirety of SweetCanvas.

The idea was that it would buy me time to hopefully release the demo, and from there what I hoped would happen with the release of the demo would be that much more people would gain interest in the project and subsequently, the Patreon would start making enough for me to not worry about funds.

That was an ideal scenario, so of c...

Toxic Timelapse

Will be posting an update soon about the changes that'll be coming to the Patreon next month. 

The short version is, I'll be bringing back polls starting next month in an attempt to bring people in since it's getting to a point where it's kind of dire, along with a few other tier changes to that end, but if things don't end up picking up within a reasonable timeframe, I'll probably just scrap those ideas to lessen the amount of stress I'd be putting on myself and really focus in on...

Toxic [Full Res]

Timelapse for this will be up on Monday

Toxic

Honestly not satisfied with how much of this one turned out color wise, it looks decent in black and white though. 

Completely unrelated to the painting, but I've been trying to think of ways to attract new patrons lately, since with it dropping every month the Kickstarter money has been running out pretty quickly, since Patreon now only barely covers a majority of my rent.

So, if you guys have any suggestions or things that you want to see/think that others might gravitate t...

Nari Sketch [WIP]

A character from Kaela's route! She's one of Kaela's closest acquaintances

Marina Timelapse

Marina [Full Res]

Timelapse will be up on Monday

Marina

I don't draw her ever so most people wouldn't know, but Marina is one of my favorite designs!

Full length process video will be up for silver patrons this coming Monday

Marina [WIP]

Update on this, will probably finish tomorrow

Rin Timelapse

Marina Sketch [WIP]

Been a while since the last time I drew Marina

Rin [Full Res]

Timelapse will be up next Monday

Rin Birthday Gift

Birthday drawing for my friend @sphenop_s (on Twitter)!

Process video will be up next Monday for silver patrons, as per usual

Io Sprite Update

Update on one of Io's many (many) outfits across the relevant sprites, one that I don't think I've posted here yet.

Still WIPs, but the other two are close to being finished. I've just been doing these roulette style where I bounce around from one outfit to another whenever I get bored of one, so they're all at varying levels of completion

Torin

The track team's ace, as well as one of the few male characters (and the only one visualized) that Isa befriends throughout the course of the game! 

He appears during the common route every now and then, so he isn't a route exclusive character, but he'll play a much larger role in one of the routes compared to the others, as you'd expect!

Common - Dress Up (Isa) | CG Sketch

The final dress up scene during the mall event!

Io - Miscellaneous | CG Sketches

Some Io related panel CGs. The first one is years in the past, way prior to the events of SweetCanvas

Eyescube Commission Sketch [WIP]

Not actually open for commissions right now, but I was sent a really interesting idea so I accepted it anyway since I wanted to do it and I'd be getting paid to do it (win win)

The concept was like, her tearing open the skin on her chest to reveal a black hole behind her ribcage

Melting Timelapse

Common - Feeding | CG Sketches

Part of the parfait scene, if you remember that panel CG from a little while back

Melting [Full Res]

Timelapse will be up on Monday

Melting

Revisited an old idea of mine, some of you may remember the first drawing but most of you probably won't

Process video will be up for silver patrons on Monday

Janurary-June2023 PSDs

Like last time, most of my art for the first half of this year has been SweetCanvas related, and outside of art I've also spent a significant amount of time writing.

All that added up to my not releasing enough public/non-SC art per month for me to feel like posting a PSD pack was worthwhile, so I've held off until now.

I've been trying to find a balance between working on the project and making public posts, but I've not really achieved it yet. Hopefully in the second half of the...

Common - Meet Kaela | CG Sketch

The new version of the last CG. I feel like this one compliments the story better, might redo the hand though (or maybe I'll just fix it while painting)

Common - Meet Kaela | Scrapped CG

Scrapped because it didn't communicate what it needed to as part of the story

Cainid Sketch [WIP]

Not actually a sprite since this character never appears as a sprite, but it's a design I needed to visualize finally for the CGs I plan to begin working on soon!
