December's Reward- I NEED SOME INFO FROM YOU ALL!

HEY HI!
As I mentioned briefly, I'll be placing a small order soon for another round of Daggerwolf ( https://www.patreon.com/posts/29114117 ) stickers!

This time they're gonna be in stickerapp's "brushed metal" material and the daggers will be slightly different in design (so they can pair well with your holo stickers you already have!)
SO
what info do I need from you?
Your address! (if It has ch...

Happy December! - BlogPost

Hey guys!
I can't believe it's already December! The end of 2019!!
Where did this year go? It feels like I blinked and it was suddenly December. But maybe I'm old and just had a lot going on this last half of the year.

I hope you all have had a wonderful 2019!

I'll be going over the plans for the month, since stuff had to change a bit. But all is good! Better in fact! My partner started his new job today so the stresses there have melted away with the first snowfall of the...

You all voted for it, and here it FINALLY IS!
This base/template features:

-Multiple versions:
.Canine/Canine
.Canine/Feline (two combos)
.Feline/Feline
-Easy to color layers with each character separated
-Stand alone lines of each character, so you can combine them yourself to customize who's arms are overlapping, or who's face cover's who's more! (requires working with and creating your own layers)

Electrical Poison Driving me WILD- Full res Download

MORE POKEMON FANART!
YAAAY!

This is Toxtricity! It's an electric/poison type pokemon with a neat feature to it's design, well a couple honestly.. BUT the coolest thing is that this Pokemon comes in 2 forms!
The "Amped" version is what I drew here! It has a yellow electrical mohawk, sports a fancy purple and gold color scheme and has 6 nodes on it's chest (not pictured entirely) that it uses like guitar strings!
The other version is called "Low Key" and I'll be drawing it next ...

In a Bind - Full Res Download (NSFW)

Yet another lovely piece to work on for QuebecoisWolf of their stunning black werewolf, Kara!
She’s a fiesty one, for sure, but it’s nothing her girlfriend (who’s a very beautiful were-leopard) can’t handle! Don’t let the bratty snarl fool you, this gal is actually quite the good girl to her love!

This piece was a ton of fun to work on! I really tried to work on the reflective nature of black as a color when it comes to shading! Black can pick up hues from everything...

November?! Already?? BlogPost

Hey guys!
I hope all has been well for all of you!
October, somehow was busier and crazier than September for me. But here we are on the 1st, coming into the month strong. I have hope for some calm after the storms.
Life needs to chill for me, for just a bit. I'm just glad we have some safety nets in place to make some of this considerably less insane.
I guess the end of the year can often bring changes, though, right?
All wounds heal.

The Three Wise Otters - Full Res Download

Speak All Evil
See All Evil
Hear All Evil

What a project!
This is what I made for Glowbold for October!
This features three of their friends serving as a corrupted take on "the three wise monkeys" and instead of seeing, speaking and hearing no evil, they are exuding it.

This was a fun, lightly body horror themed commission that challenged me and pushed me to make something pretty rad!
I hope you all enjoy this!

Inktober WiPs and a Blog Post! (Stream updates!)

Hey guys!
I hope your October is going well so far!!
Things in my neck of the woods are remaining challenging in certain ways but optimistic.
Life demands that I hold a Halloween commission stream soon, so I'll be doing two streams this week!
While on the subject, some of you may have caught my recent chatter in Discord about streaming as well as tweets regarding it.
I've been more or less trying to find out what's right for me.

October Template: Werewoof!

I HAD TO DO IT!
πŸŒ•πŸΊ πŸŒ•
This is the first of (hopefully) a series of templates for October!
Next I'll be doing a zombie, and finally a ghost (If I can make it so its easy to color with transparencies).

BUT, as my favorite "monster" I had to start with the werewolf! So here's a stylized, somewhat adorable werewoof to have your OC take the form of!

Materials used:
Posca pens, white and black size 1MR

Micron 0.25mm black

This goopy cryptid is loosely based off of a mule deer but I've taken some features from other deer species with it's shape. (This isn't a realistic representative...

Inktober Day 1: Felidae

Kicking off inktober!
I'm following the "inktofur" prompt list by Twitter user @yodelinyote for inktober this year!

Gosh this was fun!

Thank you so much, Glowbold, for letting me just go wild with this one! It was really wonderful to just let my hand go and create as I was feeling at the time. It felt kind of refreshing to just go as I went, fluidly.


I hope you all enjoy it, too!

September is coming to a close already and I, for one, am already ready for Spooktember!

Here’s a recent warmup commission for our very own Zaskyl of his oc, which is a rad kangaroo!

I don’t often get opportunity to draw this species but I really hope to get more opportunity! It’s a lot of fun and challenging to draw kangaroos, they’re such different creatures, but I feel like that could be said for most marsupials!

A kangaroo has really interesting teeth, too. Species like that can be a challenge with furry art, I feel. A lot of artists default to canine feat...

Nearly everything I ordered is ideal for this as well!! The only thing that isn't quite right (my fault too, actually. I didn't read the listing well enough.) is the plastic bags I meant to have accompany the order to help make sure the stickers are not subject to water damage (should It occur).
