Gigantamax Mega Kaiju Cad (Web Size)

This is the web size (1200 px)! Check the higher tiers for hi-res + extra thoughts.

A painting for @cad_wing of Twitter ! Sometimes, you need to go just a little bit further beyond a normal Dyna- or Gigantamax. Thank goodness for adjectives.

It's the Mewtwo again! Cad is a sweetheart, and I finally got to paint him at a size that matches the size of his heart. He helped me out immensely about a year back, and this was the finale of some time I owed him. W...

Quarantine Update: Redbubble, Twitch, Lifeee?

Hi guys. Wanted to just throw out a few things, let people know what's going on and where I've been. I know I've been a bit less vocal on commenting, journals are rare from me, streams stopped for a while, etcetc..

First off, since everywhere seems to be closed in the states, like Anthrocon, MFF, and so on, a few people asked me about prints. So, I set up a Redbubble with some of my paintings<...

Kashak, Last of the Bluescales (Full + Extra Thoughts for Patrons)

I forgot to upload this here! A portrait I did for a Dragonlance 5e D&D campaign I'm in with Falindrith and -Crucible-. My little level 3 Monk~

He's a young runt -- 7 years old, so barely mature, and standing a smidgeon over 2 feet tall, 24 pounds soaking wet. Was meant to be the next-in-line storyteller/loremaster/possibly chief in times of peace for his tribe, the Bluescales. They lived in relative peace after the War of the Lance, in which they helped the Dragonarmies near the en...

A fun sketch while my Wacom is in warranty repair. With many thanks to Myr for being patient with me getting to him! Much love, man. Thank you again!

A painting for cad_wing on Twitter, Cad! Break free.

This one's a bit personal to Cad, so my description here will be brief. Thank you again, Cad, for your generous help, support, and for being such a good dude.

And thank you all for your continued support, as well. Please keep staying safe and cautious out there, especially if you are in the US. No getting sick! That's an order!

Sales Tax Changes

Hey guys.

Got an email the other day regarding sales tax changes on Patreon. Apparently, those outside the UK may now have to pay Sales Tax on some items. Depending on where you live or how much you pledge, this number might be more than you expected to see coming out due to Patreon.

So when the new month rolls around and the charges go through, please make sure to take a peek at how much you've been charged, and adjust accordingly! It's, sadly, out of my hands, so I understand en...

Pride on Display (Web Size + Notif.)

A painting for Varanis_Ridari of Twitter of his devilish strawberry, Sin! Happy Pride Month. For those who can show it safely, wear it with pride. If you can't, don't be afraid to still be proud of who you are, and join when you are able. :)

I'll let this one speak for itself. Enjoy, guys.

A painting for Falindrith. Active Time Maneuver! - Press button rapidly to not freeze. Your White Mage is still dead, though. This is what happens when you mess with a dragon's plushy hoard.

Tried to go for a bit more dynamic of a dragon here! I think a lot of my dragons and "feral" characters tend to feel a bit stiff, a bit boring, so I wanted to try a pose or angle that ...

A grayscale for Draganta! Tyrax seems to have found another lost soul. The afterlife is vast, but they don't need to brave it alone. 

God, this one was so much fun. ; ;! I'm almost sort of sad it's complete. Tried zooming in way more than normal in parts, up to 100%, to  really try and render some parts out how I wanted. Which sounds like  nothing, but that'...

A painting for ThornDracorn and Kurrikage! Gargantua (Thorn) seems angry at Blake (Kurrikage) over something... Look, I'm just here for the leaves, man. Leave me out of this. This doesn't look like the start of any jape to me.

Whoof. This one made me stumble quite a lot! The effort was worth it, of course, but man, I forget sometimes how tough forest-y or jungle enviro...

Deep Breath (Hi-Res + Extra Thoughts)

This is the hi-res version! Thank you so much for your support, as always~

 Deep breath, hold, gather energy, continue to hold... There's an earth-shattering kaboom coming, I'm sure of it. 

It's been a bit since I got to do a sketch! After all the grayscales and  painting in Corel, coming back here was a bit bumpy at first,  especially with the slight challenge Bruya gave me! Not that I'm  complaining, I do like a good challenge, of course...

The quest had been hanging on the notice board for a month, with only the cryptic note: "When you come upon the Lord's judgement, do not break eye contact." ... Oh, and the few thousand gold piece reward for slaying him still hadn't been claimed. Weird that no one came back yet, though.

I'm incredibly happy I got to work with Jeremy again. Years ago, I did a piece of Jeremy for Hutch when I was trying to learn Photoshop, and... Okay, I tried really, really hard, but whoof... It, uh, didn't age the -best-. ...

Gosh, I need a better title for this one. But ahhh, I'm extremely happy! I think this is one of my better character renderings. I still need to work on foliage, as my result isn't what I'd like for the time invested into it, even though the prompt wanted them vaguer, but that'll come in time. So many leaves... Any...

Game Night (Hi-Res)

A painting for Stalbon of FA! It can be a bit crowded, but I live for these sorts of nights.

Major, major thanks and love to Stalbon who allowed me to paint Myr, myself, Goolashe, Fetho-os-riedo, and Draco of Zeradaith! Stalbon wanted to paint the group of us together, but for his own reasons didn't feel the need to be in it himself, but the five of us agreed we couldn't allow him to not cameo in one of the paintings on the wall. There was a lot of emotion mixed up in and around this pa...

Reverted to a 'Tip Jar' Patreon

I've gone ahead and reverted this page to a Tip Jar and High Res tier page as I was at the end of 2019.

I had plans for how to expand this, but I lack both the self-confidence to share works in progress and sketch work here, as well as the courage to share my writings. I've scrapped a few little journals or articles, and obviously haven't done much on the personal work side of things, so I thought it best to do this to avoid anyone feeling ripped off (luckily no one was in those tiers, ...
