April Sketchbook 2021 + Life Update

Here we go!! Sorry it's later in the day than usual lol- I had work this morning!

All righty here comes a life update- I wanted to say sorry there's been a bigger gap than usual between Sparks page uploads and explain why- 

We were very lucky and doing very well in regards to covid in Nova Scotia, but unfortunately we've had a big outbreak and we now have more cases than we did at the start of the pandemic. It really sucks! A lot! And now they're all variant cases as well! We...

Sparks pages 154-156

Here we go!!
These ones took a little longer than expected- I got some wrist pain seemingly out of nowhere so I’ve been trying to rest it as much as possible for the last few days 😔 very frustrating but I’m hoping it‘ll clear up quick! It already feels a bit better so 🤞

Sparks pages 151-153

YOURE ALL GONNA HATE ME FOR THESE ONES LMAO I’m sorry 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ Forgive me 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️ Pls have faith... it’s gonna be worth it!! 

Sparks pages 148-150

UH OH... ITS GOING DOWN 😱

sorry to leave you all on another cliffhanger lmao, it’s unintentional I swear!! I’ll try and get the next 3 done quick 😂

Happy Spring!

I realized this is the perfect opportunity to draw them as bunny boys... and I couldn’t pass it up 😤 I’m going to save this and use it as my thanks for 10k subs post on tapas cause it’s coming up soon I think! But I wanted to share it with you all now 🥰

Sparks pages 145-147

Time to say goodbyes :’( 

I would love to never draw a carriage or horses ever again LOL 

New username!

Hi everyone!!
I’ve changed the name of this page/my username to ‘revelguts’, which is the new username I’m going to be using online across all platforms from now on! I changed it on my Twitter and Instagram as well ✨

When I started using my real name as my online handle I thought it would be the perfect way to like... ‘own’ my identity irl as well as online, embrace the artist part of myself, be more authentic etc, but it turns out it actually just made me super anxiou...

March NSFW 2021

Here’s my NSFW sketchbook!!

Let’s see- a lot of Satyr as per usual 😂 then some stuff of my new OCs Luxdrummion & Hazel (fun with size difference)

I’ve put a warning page for mild dubcon right before the last two pages- it’s very mild IMO but I want to make sure that no one who would rather not see anything along those lines sees it by accident! So if you’d rather not see those two pages, just stop scrolling through the PDF once you hit the warning page :) it’s s...

March sketchbook 2021

Here’s my sketchbook for March!

Started the month with my Pokémon trainer OCs, and then spent most of the month developing some new OCs- Luxdrummion (who started as a luxray gijinka, lol) and the wizard Hazel- they’re a lot of fun and I like their story so I’ll probably write up a post about them sometime soon for anyone who’s interested :)

Then I revisited my goblin character a bit near the end- I’ve made a little warning page right before the last page just because ...

Sparks pages 142-144

And here we go starting part 2!
Philo is having a moment 😔 time to say some quick goodbyes! 

Story-writing talk

Asia asked this question and my answer ended up getting really long so I’ve decided to make a post for it! Hopefully its interesting to hear me blab about story stuff 😂?

Oh yay I love this question!!

Honestly I think the way I made the story for Sparks is fairly unconventional- when I started drawing it, I didn’t really have a story, LOL… when it started all I knew was the b...

Sparks pages 140-141

BOOOOOM!!! and that’s part 1!
I tried to kind of split Sparks into smaller ‘chapters’ but honestly that doesn’t work very well- it’s always been organized more as parts or volumes in my head! If I get it printed into physical books, this would be the first volume :’) 

Ended it on a bit of a cliffhanger, which I think is fun 😛 I debated where to finish part 1, the other option was as Philo actually leaves the academy- but I really like the impact of this moment as...

Sparks pages 137-139

Look at Atlas go!! Achieving those dreams... boy is working hard 😤💪

These pages took me ages in the flatting stage 😭 lots of different satyr with lots of different tones... tiring!! But we’ve only got two pages left of Part 1 to go now!

Sparks pages 134-136

Here we go!! Let’s GRADUATE! Time for Philo to have a minor existential crisis 

Also I think that page with the dean is the densest text-wise we’ve had in a long time 😂

I included the thumbnails for these pages- they’re really low res since I lost the originals and had to use that screenshot but I thought they might be interesting to see anyway! 

Sparks pages 131-133

Here we go!!
Whatever Deimos did didn’t seem to interfere with Philo’s regular academy rune 🤔 hmmmm 

I‘ve thumbnailed up to the end of Part 1 now! 141 will be the last page of it 👏👏 excited to get there! I spent all of last weekend doing the thumbnails, and then my iPad crashed and procreate deleted the layer they were all on 🥲 thank god I’d sent a screenshot of them to some friends, so I was able to just use the low-res versions from that! It was SO UPSETTI...

February NSFW 2021

Here's my NSFW sketchbook for the month!! 10 pages- the first one is a collection of misc little doodles I had to cut and paste out of my SFW sketchbook pages hahaha... usually I'm pretty good at keeping my NSFW/SFW stuff on separate pages but not so much this month! There's also a little comic I doodled as an add-on to the Valentine's comic!

As far as content warnings go I think it's the same as usual really- some size difference in there with Philo/Deimos and I guess like.. rough! Rou...

February sketchbooks 2021

Sketchbook time!! I was worried maybe it would be smaller than usual since Feb is a short month, but it was too much for my iPad to handle exporting as one PDF so I had to split it into two again hahaha... one day I’ll upgrade to a better iPad :’) 

my hourlies are in here, as well as the Valentine’s comic/illo which you probably already saw, I just like to include everything in these uploads just in case stuff got missed! Lots of D&D session doodles (the long skinny pages...

Sparks pages 128-130

Off we go to graduation!! the memories of last night come back to Philo, but maybe not all of them? 🤔

I also added the thumbnails for these pages, I thought you might like to see them? A fun comparison! 

Sparks pages 124-127

Four pages this time because one of them is just a filler page lmao 

A lil dream sequence treat!! 

Sparks pages 121-123

I started and finished these 3 today 😤💪💪💪 

DEIMOS... WHAT IS HE DOIN!! 

Valentine’s Pallas pinups

One last treat 💕 I drew some cute Pallas sketches last night and thought they’d look nice as a valentine’s themed set! 

Valentine’s Highschool AU comic

HAPPY VALENTINE’S 🥰 

Early Valentine’s

I drew this to post on twitter/tapas etc tomorrow but I wanted to share it with you all a little early! 🥰 I just... followed my heart with this one... sometimes u just wanna draw the boys getting married like a cute shoujo romance promo 🥺

I have another Valentine’s gift for $3+ patrons that I’ll upload tomorrow too! Hope you’re all having a lovely weekend 💕

Sparks pages 118-120

IIIIIIT‘S DEIMOS TIME!! So happy he’s finally making his first appearance 🥰 

I tell ya what though I can’t wait until this scene is over so we can get to the next day and I can stop doing atmospheric night time shading LOL 

January NSFW 2021

Here we go!! Some drawings you’ve already seen- but lots of sketches you haven’t!

So this month there’s a lot of Philo in a dress LOL, I came up with an idea for a medieval fantasy AU where Philo is a princessboy, Atlas is a prince who’s coming to propose to him, and Deimos is a dragon that kidnaps Philo 😈 Atlas has to go rescue him of course (although how much he wants to be rescued... well... hahaha) it would have a cute happy ending of course though 😌

I would...

January Sketchbook 2021

My procreate managed to export all 38 pages together as one PDF without crashing!! Idk how but there we go, neat and tidy in one PDF this time 🙌

I drew a lot this month!! My work schedule changed and I got a lot of 3 day weekends and I guess that made a big difference! It’s been really nice... hoping I can afford to keep my schedule that way 😂🤞

This month we haaaave: 

-goblin/fairy concept sketches (originally I just wanted to draw a goblin for goblin week, b...

Sparks pages 115-117

WE DID IT!!! AAAAAAAH!! THEIR 💖F I R S T  K I S S💖

I feel like I’ve been waiting to draw this forever 😭 we finally got there!! I’m so happy hahaha... now I have so many more scenes coming up that I’m really looking forward to as well!
RUN PHILO... CHASE HIM DOWN 

Sparks pages 112-114

YAY!! YAAAAAY!! I’m really excited for this whole upcoming chunk of story 🤩 I went hard with the lighting on these pages lmao, hopefully it doesn’t look jarring! 

Pin ups (Agathonis and Pallas)

Dicks out o’ clock 👀
hahaha I did these two little sketches of them and liked them and I decided to finish them up and make them nice! I was a bit lazy tho so rather than colouring properly I just used gradient maps.. but it was fun to play around with them I’ve never really used gradient maps!
The original sketch versions of these will be up in the end of the month PDF so you can see the difference between then if you want! 

Sparks pages 109-111

Atlas... you push over.. 

Into the gardens we go!! 
also witness me not being able to come up with a better name than ‘leaf’ for satyr weed lmfao
