This slot has been taken, thank you! <3
A last minute Valentine's Day YCH! 👀 This will have a turnaround of one week (ready for Feb 14), please notice that providing the files requires the full payment to be completed. Due to the schedule, I must request swift communication from the client (I will provide wips of the sketch edit, lineart, colors and final draft!)
Some notes:
- Any gender or species! The body types will be adjusted to match the characters.

Right now most of the art I'm working on is something I can't show yet (prepare yourselves for a Valentine's Day spam next week) so here's a small batch of sketches! A friend drew theirs and another friend's ancient sonas, so of course I wanted to draw me and my partner's emo dogs from 2008-2010 inspired by the idea! This is going to be the kind of clash of colors that will be faithful for the era the original designs are from...

Way back when I started Patreon, I got some request about some more in-depth step-by-steps so I finally made one that includes written notes about my process! ^^ Recently I was asked about my approach to making colors appear softer, so I tried to put as much focus on that part as I could.
It was fun to make and I felt like I learned a lot, so there's definitely more to come in the future! The techniques I describe here don't apply to everything I create, so there would be a lot mo...

Recorded process of the piece of which I shared the sketch a couple of posts earlier! ^^ I'm also working on a step-by-step post of this one that will delve a bit deeper into my methods of choosing colors and creating soft atmosphere with the Tone Curve tool. Hoping to post that by the end of the week!

A peek at what I have been working on lately, before I post the rest of the sticker time lapses! ^^ Starting off with a concept for a fox sona, basically I'm trying to find something to match my partner's raccoon sona (seen in the slide 2). I'm not completely satisfied with the colors yet, and I'm still a bit wary on the design choice as I have never really associated foxes with myself but... it's growing on me?? 🤔 I've got to draw a more humanoid/anthro version of him to be sure, but I re...

Couple of rewards for the Caught on Camera tier I have done recently. :) When I was planning out my Patreon, I was so torn between these kind of sketches and Telegram stickers for the potential rewards for a tier. I was worried if having two options to choose from would become confusing, but it ended up being the best decision ever! I love how I can switch between two very different styles (the very clean lineart in stickers versus a loose, more textured look in these BW portraits) and how th...

Recordings of some of the stickers (as rewards for the Caught on Camera tier) I have finished so far! :D I'll be actually sending out the next batch of rewards soon, and will finish the rest at within the first half of the week. Then I have some plans for Patreon exclusive YCHs that kind of follow the Valentine's Day theme that was present in many of this month's rewards... 👀
And because I didn't post these ones separately yet - here's the compilation of the stickers I did last mont...

Something I drew for my partner for her birthday, featuring her raccoon sona! 🦝 Despite all the hardships last year brought to me, I also consider it my best one yet now that I get to share a home together with her. She's such an amazing person that it took me so long to decide how to even begin to visualize even a percentage of that in a single picture. She's like fire but in a comforting way, like the sun in a warm summer night with a gentle breeze. 💛

Here's the recording of the process of the recent character art commission (step by step as well as a closer look at the final result can be seen in the previous post)! You can see how it took me some time to figure out what colors to use and in what order. I knew I wanted the color scheme to somehow indicate a romantic setting with an 80s vibe, and purple, pink and turquoise sounded like a fitting...

Catching up on updates at the start of this week now that we have recovered from the flu that somehow got into our home. On top of that, our dear Isla (my partner's dog) had to undergo surgery and we have been keeping a close eye on her for a couple of nights. Things are finally getting back on track and I really appreciate your patience and hope that you'll going to like these new posts!
Firstly, here's a step-by-step process of a character art commission from December. Can you recogni...

This post comes a bit late as I have been taking care of our 2-person, 2-dog household while my poor partner has been battling the nastiest flu. 😭💔 I have mostly avoided catching anything serious, though, so I'll be able to work on new stuff soon!
In the meantime, I can show you this time lapse of a couple chibi commission from last year. What makes this different from what I usually do is that it has two versions (clothed + unclothed to show the beautiful designs) and you can see...

Here's a timelapse of the piece I made for a Secret Santa we did with friends this year! This was probably my first time painting northern lights, and you can see it took me some time to figure out how to achieve the right kind of look. It was surprisingly tricky but I like how it turned out in the end even though I wish I had more time to focus on polishing the details. These past couple of months have been so busy that I knew I had to try achieve a clean look with lesser detail, which actua...

We hosted a Secret Santa within a friend group again this year, and here's what I participated with! I got to draw Vervain, who's a lone wolf and perfect for a northern lights scene I had been wanting to draw. The character belongs to Iro!
I hope everyone is having a wonderful end of the season, and a relaxing start for the new year! I was travelling to see my family for a couple of days but I still have quite a few posts for 2023. :)

I wanted to make something special for the holidays, so I made a chibi reindeer base! Reindeer-ify yourself or make adoptables! Please follow the rules listed below and have fun! 🦌
This is my first base so please feel free to let me know if you spot anything funny going on with it. 😂

Finally got to put these recordings together into my so far longest time lapse! 👀 I have already shared the end result online, but wanted to show the process behind it as I think this was the piece where I finally managed to achieve the composition I was going for. This is why this piece feels so special to me, as it gave me the courage to pursue bolder choices when it comes to placement and scale of different features!
Here's the end result again! After having worked on this on Cli...

As I mentioned in an earlier post I was sick for almost the entire month when the event was on, so I had to do many very last minute pieces. :') This was one of those even though I knew I wanted to make something with a full background - that led me to challenge myself to make something like this within one day!

Some rewards for Caught on Camera tier I have finished so far, more to come soon as I work through the queue! I switched to a slightly sharper brush for these, not sure if the it's noticeable in the end product but I sure feel the difference when working on these! It's not as forgiving as the softer version I have used (the one I still use for my regular lineart) but I feel like that's the very reason why it improves my work flow. Basically I can't go "I'll figure out that part later" as much...

Process of a recent icon commission for GreaserMutt! I had a blast working on this colorful scene 😍 You can see how it took me some time to pick the right colors for the background, as I just knew I wanted to use purple but I was worried about it washing out the yellow of the character's outfit as well as making the values too murky. It's funny how situations like that that leave me scratching my head for a moment often lead to color choices I wouldn't usually dare to make and I end up lik...

Some projects I'm currently working on! A simple festive base that will be available for all tiers in the upcoming weeks, a character page commission and another reindeer I started drawing last year but never finished. Also a Finnish Spitz baking gingerbread cookies - redrawing this each year on Finland's independence day was a tradition for me during 2015-ish, and even though I didn't have the time to finish it in time this year it was nice to revisit the idea. ^^

Here's the time lapse I mentioned in the latest post that featured a step by step process of the same commission! I didn't document the sketch process too well in that one so here you can see how the composition came to be.
Migraines have been keeping me company for the past few days which means more frequent posts towards the end of the week this time. I actually have a lot of time lapses to post (longer ones like this too) but I'll slide in a wip or two as well. 👀
