PAXW Comic: Who Owns the League?

Hey hi folks! I've been hard at work on a series of comics for the upcoming PAX Rumble at PAX West; here's the first, setting the stage for the machinations to come regarding the actual ownership of this silly "wrestling" league. These are all publicly available on Twitter (search for #PAXRumble) but here's the high-res version! I'll post the rest as they go live.Take care, and keep on making wonderful things! <3

Mirror's Edge - Test of Faith

I recorded this after a terrible thing happened in the US; I wanted to heal and this game - specifically this challenge - helped a lot. I'll put it online soon, but until then, feel free to check it out. It's a little long, but I feel the message conveyed by the game was worth doing it in a single go.

Take care. <3

Art Stream Today!

Hey hi folks! As with last time, I'll be performing an art stream today at 1 PM EDT - this seems to be the optimal time slot for me, so until further notice, that's when I'll do these! Hope to see you there! :D

As usual, I will be streaming here! https://www.twitch.tv/havochq

July 17th to July 30th

Hey hi folks! It's now been a little over a month since I started this Patreon, and I couldn't have made it here without your help. <3

Despite being inundated with work and events, and having little free time, I managed to get a prototype for a card game done (more on that later), started streaming Design Delve videos again, and performed my first art stream, which was a blast! The video for that will be coming up soon - as always, $3+ patrons get it first! Speaking of which, the latter als...

COUNTER/Weight Pic

Hey hi! Inspiration struck me as I listened to the wonderful Friends at the Table podcast's second season, COUNTER/Weight, and I sketched out a quick little something that I'll build into something more. It has a combination of different scenes, graphical elements, and words that feels like a good challenge for me, so I'm eager to make it to the next stage with this one. I'll keep you updated on my progress! <3

Design Delve: Landstalker releasing this week!

Hey hi folks! I recorded this series of videos a few months back, but was sadly delayed by multiple Content ID claims which have now been resolved. So it's time to delve into my favorite uncanny valley game, the Zelda-like Landstalker! :D I'll be releasing videos of it as the week progresses, but you can see them all right now if you want! Here are the secret links, just for you:

Art Timelapse: Missile

Some friends on Twitter started talking about Ghost Trick and Missile and I just couldn't resist doing something to honor my favorite video game dog.

June 26th to July 16th

Hey hi folks! Thank you so much for your support so far - in celebration of me launching my Patreon (and because moving took longer than expected), the first content period is 3 weeks instead of 2! :D

The past few weeks have seen me start to take commissions; I'll always file those under "exclusive sketches and works-in-progress" since I can't guarantee that I can share high-rez files or original formats. And speaking of original formats, I'm currently working out a way to get you t...

Commission: Magnus Burncider

Hey hi folks! Here's my first official commission: a beer label with an Adventure Zone (a McElroy fantasy podcast) theme! I followed my usual process here, but ended up using such a large brush that the sketch was hard to follow. Still, it let me get the concept down rather fast, though the pose left a bit to be desired. I hunted around for reference photos and found one with the pose I wanted, then adjusted the sketch to fit - the second pic shows off a much better pose, and it also allowed me ...

Goal reached: biweekly art stream!

Hey hi folks! Thanks to your generous support, I can now do a stream every two weeks (probably during a weekend day) where I'll draw, show what I know, try new things, and discuss with you folks! :D

I'm so glad that this project is working out so far and helping me make progress with my art. I hope to see you when I stream (I'll announce it in advance) - and if not, I'll make sure to archive the video!


Thanks again, and keep on being wonderful! <3

Art Timelapse: Amberthday

Here's the recording of me drawing this piece, sped up and put to music! Incidentally, the same tune I was listening to as I drew it (for various inspirational reasons). It's such a cool feeling to watch my own work sped up like this, and it gives me some insight into my process. I'm glad I go the sketch later, then line art layer way, because it allows me to go back and tweak the sketch as needed when I realize I've made mistakes.

Here's to many more of these in the future! ^^

Art: Amberthday

Here's my first high-rez art post! I drew this on my birthday, which just so happens to be the birthday of my friend Amber as well! Here's her portrayed as a monster girl. ^w^

I buckled down, minimized distractions and did my best to remain focused while I drew this, and it took me 2 hours to complete. This is considerably faster than I usually work, so I'm really motivated to keep up this work ethic when I create! :D

Thank you! ❤

I'm so grateful for your support. I should start posting content soon; I'm currently unable to stream due to being between homes, but I can record just fine, so I'll be starting by putting up my first timelapse drawing video! It's amazing just how much faster I can work when I dedicate myself and remove the distractions; I hope to start making a lot more interesting things to share and learn from.

Take care, and keep on being wonderful! ❤
