Just a few head doodles done in the last few days. Admittedly not much, kind of in a funk. Let's try to pull out of it this week with the Patron Suggestions thing.
I'm not really sure about tossing these little one off doodles into the Dropbox Archive - it's messy and it seems pointless for such little things. Perhaps I'll add these kinds of doodles to an sketch dump page and then just upload the entire page to the dropbox instead. We'll have to see!

I recently expressed some ideas for Patreon, and one of them was Patreon Requests/Suggestions.
Phrased as such so to not suggest it as a cheap proxy for commissions. I may not fulfill every idea within the time, and I may simply not be interested in some.
This is just a trial run so I can get a feel for it and make further determinations, and will run until the end of the week. If it goe...

Feeling kinda meh today, lacking confidence and direction. But that's okay, the new year only started 5 days ago and sometimes these things happen. So here's a Link bust with a scary face. Not much to say about it.
I'm trying to work out how I might be handling the frequency of the Patron Suggestions/Request thing, so I might be doing a trial of that soon just to see how I take to it. We'll see and stuff.

Oh snapple bottles, what's this?! A Dropbox Archive! Yoooooooooo...!
Unfamiliar with Dropbox? Don't have an account? Neither of those things matter, so do not worry!
For our purposes, Dropbox use is purely as a dedicated gallery space, allowing you to view my art much easier than through Patreon's scrolling timeline. With Dropbox, it's almost like viewing the files through your computer's file manager, like Windows Explorer or Finder.

And here's something I worked on much longer than I wanted to, but that's alright.
The colours of this piece are less saturated than my colours generally are, and a lot closer in hue (that's your basic local colour, like green, red, blue, etc). I'm planning to play around with colour expression a lot this year.

And here we go, the first art of 2018. If you don't include earlier's commission post on tumblr, that is.
Man, making works more dynamic than I previously did was a lot harder than I thought it would be! I might need to start actively consuming more art for inspiration and learning. I really hope I can do so and see improvement in my art before too long. Though it's important to remember that these things DO take time.
I just recently connected my monitors to a power strip that I keep ac...

First and foremost, I want to thank all of you for your support during this year - and those of you who have just recently jumped aboard too. It is because of your support that I'm able to do what I do. Thank you!

Here's a doodle - sorta trying out different directions with the Link design. There's certainly some stuff here I like, some stuff I'm not crazy about, but that's okay. I don't imagine it'd be her new outfit or anything, just another outfit to put her in from time to time.
I much like the idea of a Link who's got bags, belts, wearing her gear - like the little medallion, a magical necklace, her swords, etc. Actually, one of the things I really enjoy is when artists do those "what's inside the ...

Just a doodle. I've been pretty beat the last few days - I just finished work on Snow Daze yesterday, so I've been a bit out of it.
It's generally a good idea to take it easy, but I'm going to try to still be productive. Within the next few days, I'm going to talk more about my ideas for the future, as it's a good idea to reflect on what I've done this year. Having just finished with Snow Daze, I haven't had too much time for introspection this week.

Thank you for your patience and support. I will removed this post after I've made the next one.

Just some sketches for a prospective work I plan to have done within the month. Just a fairly quick coloured sketch commission. I'm pretty satisfied with the third sketch.
I'm almost done with Snow Daze... Just a little bit now. I'm going to try and finish later today.

One of the two commissions I took on in recent days, thankfully only having taken two. Commission of some American Bison-chan from rynanart. She's certainly pretty cute. I expect I'll post it tomorrow, though it'd have been nice to make a Christmas draw. Maybe I can still fit one in, but I'm not optimistic.

I'm still tired. Here's the Female Link I shared earlier today, but in full-res! I forgot to add a shadow under her body, but alas, it happens. It's not ideal, but I'm too tired to go back and fix it. It's okay.
It'd be neat to do another two illustrations, but maybe tomorrow. Or not at all, we'll have to see. I still have to do the Snow Daze final piece, and I'm still not sure how much of my time that's going to occupy me.

Just some doodles from last night of a brellomascot wearing out of character apparel. That's okay.
If you follow me on twitter, you may have noticed me expressing concerns about burnout - which I don't yet have, but I can feel the start of. So I took yesterday off and I certainly feel a bit better today. I'll probably try to take it easy for the most part this month so I can start the new year strong.

I'm pretty exhausted, which is something I've been saying a lot all week. Here's a Work-in-Progress of a potential festive portrait to post online, though as I am now, I'm not sure if I'll be finishing it for the next few days. Perhaps I'm just tired and not in the right frame of mind to be looking at the art, so I'll leave this for now and look at it again tomorrow before deciding whether to continue working on it.

A pretty quick sketch, nothing with too much inherent value. I'm generally pretty tired, as I've been working hard on the final illustrations for Snow Daze. I had intended to finish this week, but since the final illustration is not ready for me to work on, I probably won't finish until next week. The sad bit is that I'll more than likely be working on Christmas, and my previous plans for the week might be out the window. But it does mean I can take a short break between Snow Daze pieces and may...

Here's something neat and simple to share today. Just something I tossed together before bed. Referenced from a vintage pinup.
I can probably spend the entirety of today without worrying about Snow Daze, and just return to it tomorrow. In the mean time, I'll play a bit of Destiny today. Excited for the Holiday themed stuff starting tomorrow. Additionally, I'll want to do a bit of personal stuff, some commission sketching. I'm hoping to have a Holiday drawing up online every day from now until ...

Just two simple holiday sketches - hopefully stuff I'll be turning onto actual illustrations. I'd like to post some art this week, ideally, one holiday-themed draw per day, but that might be wishful thinking, or at the very least, overwork... We'll have to see.
I do have more ideas, but I've yet to sketch them. These are certainly two of the simpler ones, just being portraits.
Finished colouring 3 of the illustrations for Snow Daze, I still have three much larger ones to do later this we...

Update of: https://www.patreon.com/posts/dovakini-15838559
Sometime in the last week or so, I shared a sketch of Dovakini, and so I spent a bit of time earlier today cleaning it up a bit and roughing in a background. It's not crazy, but it's neat. I'm hoping to post it online sometime within the next week or so.
Not too much to say. Don't forget to eat food today.

Seeing as I've been preoccupied with Snow Daze lately, and I've been awake for... 17 hours now, I figured I really wouldn't be in an optimal condition to draw something from scratch. So I've taken one of my old abandoned sketches and applied colour to it.
Breath of the Wild has a really cool Gerudo Vai outfit, but if Link were female, she really wouldn't need the disguise to get into Gerudo city - so it's kinda, like... Surprisingly not something I've drawn very much, but unsurprisingly, becau...

Not actually the most exciting sketch to post, but something I quickly doodled yesterday or something. I don't expect to bring it any further.
It's your pretty standard Batman looking over the city with a gargoyle image, but Cassandra cain is also looking over the city in her own way.
I've been so preoccupied with Snow Daze - the shading takes the longest time, so I've just been making that the priority, so adding colour afterwards is a lot simpler. It'd be nice to actually do some drawi...

Sorry for the lack of a post today. I slept through most of the day, and I spent much of the previous day doing Snow Daze stuff. I'll try to make it up soon.
On a positive note, Patreon is deciding against adding those extra fees for your pledges! So you can continue to give me your money-- I mean... Your custom... Without worry! So in the event that none of my patrons were aware... It will continue to operate exactly as it has been.

As we move into my second year here on Patreon, and in light of the recent happenings with the service, it's a good time for reflection. With this particular post, I'd like to express some of the ideas I've been having lately; all of which are ideas that promote further engagement between you and I.
For the most part, pledging to me on Patreon has consisted almost entirely of sitting in silence until I posted something completely dependent upon my whims at that moment in time....

I'd talk more but I'm waiting for the Breath of the Wild DLC to install, so I should get back to that pretty soon. The Game Awards happened today, they released the DLC, the game won 3 awards: Best Direction, Best Action Adventure, and Game of the Year -- so that's pretty cool.
Here's some assorted sketches, many of which are Christmas themed.
If you haven't share your thoughts with me on Patreon's new payment setup, please share them with me on my Text Post from yesterday!

Just a doodle for a friend I did in a stream. Medri's Kassidy, pretty neat character. Pretty sure I've drawn her before.
Yeah, not much to say about this piece. Pretty standard thing from me - actually interested in diversifying the kind of content, pose, layout, etc I draw. I keep bein' all "IM GONNA MAKE A POST ABOUT MY IDEAS" but I keep not doing it.
Dang it.

Howdy, everyone.
Patreon is making a change to the service on December 18th. It's nothing to be too stressed over, but still something worth discussing. All Patrons will receive an email about this from Patreon later, but I'm informing you now.
The change is to ensure Patreon creators (like me) are able to take home exactly 95% of every pledge. Prior to this change, Patreon has operated by presenting the creator with fees in order to process the money every month. As a r...

Going to assume that 3 dollar tier peoples and the like just saw a somewhat NSFW doodle intended for a higher tier - sorry about that, total accident. Hope I didn't get anyone into trouble! haha - I forgot to tick it to the 10 dollar tier. No big dealies.
Now you know what kind of doodles 10 dollar tier users get!

I've been a bit quiet today. I got a new desk and monitor, which is cool. Though It feels a bit uncomfortable to work in right now.
I don't quite have the same freedom of movement, so I'm a lot tighter with my drawing, and my monitors can't all fit nicely on the table together, so my front monitor is covering my second monitor.
Also gosh dang I gotta get used to new colour profiles. I'm sure I'll talk more about it as time goes on.
