Puckish Rogues (Hi-Res)

A D&D character line-up for an old, good friend from back home. A group that he DMs for! 

gasp  shock horror HOOMAN? DROW? WHAT? I know! It's been a... while since I  drew like... actual humanoid faces! That and splitting my time between  four characters, whoof, this project took me a bit and gave me a  challenge in a few spots. But I'm really happy with the result, AND I  got to dip my feet into D&D content more, so the challenge was more  tha...

Every Crooked Line I've Got (Web)

Little birthday gift to myself. c: Bruce, my boxelder bug guy, doing a side chest flex. Wanted to take a few days to do something for it; a few years back I intended to make a series of bodybuilding poses using my guy, but... Personal work and myself don't always get along the best. I figured it was about time, though! Back to commissioned work now.

All the pictures from when I was a kid,
I'm wearing the same coat.
I'd say it was at least two sizes too big,

August (Web Size)

August was rough for me, so only a few images to share. A painting and a sketch, for Enigma/newdarkcloud and Viri/tehviriden respectively! Both done in Rebelle 6, trying to shake things up a little bit, to sometimes mixed day results. Needs more experimentation with settings and brushes to make sure I'm getting the look and style I want! The Bruce sketch is a WIP for another bodybuilding pin-up I'd like to do.

Apologies it's been quiet for a bit. Getting myself going again, and birthday...

Work Break and sketches (Web)

A piece for Talaran of FA! Taldir's already ahead of quota today, so a  quick break in the afternoon sun seems like it's in order.

Also, bonus upload of a sketch I did for my husband, Goolashe, for a future maybe-potential Synth character. And a kobold variant of Deriaz, though I think the face needs a bit of scaling back as its very busy in detail in some spots.

To those here I need to message back, you'll be hearing from me soon! I'm a smidge behind schedule compared to my ...

Orbital Strength

Sketch for DracoofZeradaith, or GrowingDraco of Twitter, done at Anthrocon 2023! Showing off the strength and power by realigning some orbits.

Been a while since I got to work with pencil on paper. I miss it. Draco  covered a meal at Condado's for me and Goolashe, so in return, I drew  him the following evening. c: Had a few nice references I had been  looking for a reason to use, so mushed them together into a nice little  pose and went at it. I'm pretty happy wit...

Sumo Stable (Web)

"Remember, it's not all about sheer size. Balance and low center of  gravity is important in this sport, and that starts in your stance!  Follow my lead... Don't lean back too far-- there you go, you're getting  it! Now..."

Updated Commission Sheet - 5/2023

Boop! As promised.

If you're seeing this, it means not only are you on the $5 tier, but it is also meaning you can reach out via here or elsewhere to let me know you are wanting some work. You're automatically a trusted client, for the record, for anything NSFW, though I don't thiiink that's really what most people here on my Patreon are interested in? But figure it's worth noting.

I'm currently shifting away from big, detailed landscapes and backgrounds in works like these, for t...

Seaside Posing (Web)

A painting for Jraintheleviathan. A cresting wave is good for both surfing, and for making yourself look even more dramatic.

This  one was a challenge and a half! Not in the artistic sense, but had a  lot of computer trouble while I was working through it, including some  happening that caused me to lose some progress. So took me a bit longer  than I would have liked. When Jrain approached me with this idea, I  absolutely had to get on board. Leviathan dragon? ...

Artok (Web)

A painting for DraenethDragon ! Look, having spooky, dark-looking powers  is all fine and good, Artok... But it's a little intimidating when  you're just using it to stir your tea.

A character for Draeneth.  c: Apparently the first full piece of his bird, Artok? This one was  nice. Not too complicated, not too intense, just a nice, slow vibe and  rendering out a bunch of stuff. Feel like I improved in a bit in some  spots. Still slower than I'd like to be ...

Synas (Web Size)

Synas, a Leonin Druid of the Circle of Stars (at least, in spirit), that I'm playing in Draeneth's campaign he's running with some other friends. c: I'm still figuring out some of his personality and such, but this quiet, somewhat awkward, older dude has traveled a long ways from home across Faerun, helping various communities and caravans as needed. With seemingly no destination in mind, using only a weathered star map and a set of cards to guide him, he's managed to find himself in Neverwin...

Black Hole Mage (Web)

Sometimes you wield an incredible amount of power in the form of a  conjured black hole. Other times, you just show off a little with it.

A  painting for Mechanodragon of FA! Myst here was another fun one to  paint up. It also lined up coincidentally with Goolashe recently  watching a lot of videos about space and black holes on the side, so  space was already on the mind. 'Course I'm gonna paint up a great  character who can also wield the power of a blac...

Jabor, Get of Jheel-Khan (Web)

A ref-sheet for Draugvorn! Character art and flat colors by me, wonderful graphic design and layout by Draugvorn himself.

Woah  heck! REF SHEET. I don't do these often! Draugvorn does some fantastic  work and, upon contacting me, said he was interested in doing the layout  if I was willing to draw his guy. And when I laid eyes on him, I  absolutely knew I wanted to sketch and draw this guy. c: Look at him!  How can you say no to a face like that? Wonderful buil...

Painting  for Sombreve's game, Dawn of Corruption! There's two other versions of  this painting that you can see in game. This is just the base canvas. :)  I'm proud of this one, so I figured I'd upload just the teaser, the  presentation without any distractions~

Shent-EiS (Web Size) (18+)

I dunno if being this large helps with piloting mechs, but it certainly can't hurt...!

A piece for Shenti / SWCO of FurAffinity ! Shenti in the buff being -very- buff, sporting some EiS tattoos from Mechwarrior to help him with piloting mechs! ... okay i actually don't know what mech he would fit into to pilot at this size but, well, he looks great to me, so honestly, I'm certainly not going to complain.

"If you're actually thinking of heading out there, I suggest keeping to  the Eastern Barrens first, 'less you're wanting to get yourself  killed..."

Another piece for Sombreve's game, Dawn of Corruption! A landscape piece for the Eastern Barrens, a  zone low level players are encouraged to start at. Tried to go for a  wide open, but bright, sort-of welcoming vibe, with a few landmarks to  tempt exploration.

Winter Fun (Hi-Res)

A painting for Falindrith of FA and Twitter!

It's nice to be able to relax, even if you brought 24 other dragons to play in the snow.   Whoop it happened again! Falindrith asked me to paint more of his  dragons he has. This time, instead of on a beach like it was 5 years  ago, it's in the winter, and there are a few more! This was a heck of a  challenge, and took me... Longer than I'd like to admit, aha.

Argent + LMP (Web Size)

Double upload! Argent (RegalRegex of Twitter, snake portrait) and LMP_Dragon (Twitter, dragon commander).

I plinked at Argent over the past few months, practicing a few things and trying a few brushes some more. LMP was a commission over the past week and a half-ish. Both were very fun! Argent's such a wonderful design, I absolutely had to share some love with Regal, for sharing him with us all on Twitter and elsewhere. And LMP was also great; while he didn't have a lot of reference, we...
