Unfinished doodle of the cruel prince himself! Feel like I don’t draw him nearly enough. 😭

Also, shout out to mr. mole! You have been very well behaved and your discretion does not go unnoticed. 😘😘😘😘

Tortured Artist - Animatic

‘sup Cerulean patrons!

Have this old angsty animatic from when I was really struggling with my over-use arm injury and chronic pain. (drawn poorly, for obvious reasons) The video is meant to loop to create a cycle blah blah blah…

It’s still something that I have issues with now and then despite rest, stretching, physical therapy and surgery— but I’ve learned how to cope with it and am in a much better place now! I’m really lucky that it only bothers me from time to tim...

Early Access - 🌙📚Storytime📚✨

Sweet dreams, Cerulean Patrons!

Here is early access to the finished Madoc and Duarte twins piece I’ve been working on in between other projects. I can’t decide if it’s better with or without the text bubble, so do let me know your thoughts!

My first time drawing Jude and Taryn as children. It was really fun to imagine what they would have looked like young whilst also referencing my teen/adult pieces of them.

Identical twins look more...

Early Access - ☀️ The Sun☀️

Hi hi Patrons!

Early Access to a piece I did for Cassandra Clare for The Wicked Powers! Kit Herondale as “The Sun”; One out of a series of portraits for her that you Shadow Hunter fans are sure to love. 👀

Nothing more to say as I dont want to spoil! But I’ll be posting some Behind the Scenes content of these pieces for Cerulean tier very soon so stay tuned. ;)

Progression - E&L - 🍂 Alternate Jude 🍂

Hi hi Cerulean Patrons!

Here’s a throwback for you! Thought it would be fun to upload some progression pics of my work on Enemies & Lovers. These are the different stages (besides thumbnail options) that I would send to Holly for approval: Ink, flats, and final render.

You’re going to notice its a VERY “trust the process” kind of situation with these. Often times I was working so fast that most of the refining would happen at the final rendering stage; so inks and fla...

Physical Sketchbook #9 - pt.2

Splendid day, Patrons,

Heres a continuation of Sketchbook #9 in my numbered sketchbook series! Enjoy.

Highlights: Ember in the Ashes fanart, Animal anatomy practice, OC stuff

Sneak Peek - Story Time

Little update on this piece as I chip away at it in between projects! 📚🥱

More Master Copies

G’day Patrons,

More Master Copies I did as an experimental exercise! It was great to get out of my comfort zone stylistically and experiment with brushes and texture. The first piece is a scrapped original painting called “Coasts of Olympus” but I was so frustrated with backgrounds at the time, I never finished it! I’d be better equipped now, but still too lazy. :b Enjoy!

Behind the Scenes - TIUTFFYE Rejected Designs

Hi Patrons!

Some BTS on my work for Illumicrates special edition of The Irresistible Urge to Fall for your Enemy!

Lots of different directions for this one trying to balance the clients needs. Took me way too long to figure out we were going for a more graphic, modern, pink, black and white look as opposed to something more fantastical and dark academia.

I was personally gunning for the first design with the ribcage, but after seeing other special editions I think the pink...

Physical Sketchbook #9 - pt. 1

Hi hi Patrons!

Excited to finally start sharing my physical sketchbooks on here! Figured out a good format and how to edit the pictures bc I don’t have a scanner. Takes some time but hopefully you like it!

Some context for what you might see in here: I have a collection of numbered sketchbooks I’ve been hoarding since the beginning of high-school to track my improvement and look back on. As you can see on the first page, I always label my age ...

Doodle - Queen of Elfhame

Bow, Patrons!

Another doodle of Jude from an upcoming Animatic for Cerulean Tier! Don’t be shy, kneel before her.

Enemies & Lovers Unboxing

Heyo Patrons!

Unboxing video from when I first received my copy of the Enemies & Lovers game! It was so unreal finally holding 10 months of work in my hands. Never posted it bc I wasn’t sure if people would be interested, and still unsure if I want to post it to my main socials. But thought I’d be brave and share it here. 🙃

Sketchbook - Head Studies

Aloha Patrons!

Here are some sketch book studies from my never ending pursuit of mastering faces. I recommend the artist @taco1704 on IG for breaking down and simplifying head anatomy— also for anatomy in general! I have a few of their exercises here, as well as some photo studies. Enjoy!

Bound - OCs - Early Access

Hey Patrons! Here’s a doodle of my original characters from my ancient greece inspired story. 🏛️🩵 His name is Kaedus, and I for the life of me can’t settle on the girls name but I’m using Myrin for now… AAAA NAMING CHARACTERS IS SO HARD!!

Speedpaint - The Fox & The Lion

Caio Cerulean Patrons!

In my suggestion post, a lot of you requested more/longer speedpaints; Your wish is my command— so here’s my recent piece for Cassandra Clare!

This timelapse is as slow as I dare without boring you all, but if you’d like even slower ones I can endeavor. I feel a majority of this speedpaint is just my indecision and manically turning layers on and off, but nevertheless, enjoy!

Tier Concepts

Hi hi Patrons!

Some tier icons I designed from when I was first developing my Patreon! Early on, I was going to do winter themed tiers to match my “Frostbite” name. I wanted the tier icons to kind of look like china-ware. After organizing my page though, I realized having my art as tier headers looked much better. And subsequently went with different colors of blue as tier names. 😌

Animatic - The Room Where It Happens - TCP

Hail, Cerulean Patrons!

If you can’t see the Hamilton x Cruel Prince vision then I don’t know what to tell you.

Have had this Madoc and Jude animatic in my head foreverrrr and want to do a polished version some day. I actually had a much better and cleaner version but it was lost in the Great iPad Crash. 🥲 Wish I could show you THAT one, but such is life. 🤷‍♀️

The Starless Sea

Have you ever wanted to read a book that felt like poetry? I recommend one of my favorites: The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern! The dream-like plot and elaborate descriptions may not be for everyone, but as an artist I ate them right up.

Here are some unfinished pieces I drew as fanart, coupled with the finished ones. I wanted to draw almost every character! It’s probably time for a reread tbh. 👀

The Catacombs

Bonjour Patrons!

Heres a project that I created during my study abroad in Europe! I will post the 3D video version of it soon.

“Beneath Paris, the catacombs—once a resting place for the forgotten—became a haven for those who defied convention. Artists, outcasts, and rebels found freedom in the shadows, building a quiet world of expression and resilience among the bones. Life flourished underground, away from the gaze of high society.”

The piece is meant to depict t...

Stay With Me - Process

Hello Patrons of the Cerulean variety!

Full process on my piece “Stay With Me” for Cassandra Clares The Ragpicker King! Some of you mentioned you enjoyed this format for my process last time so I’ll use it more going forward. Cheers! 🫶

ACOTAR - scrapped dust jackets

Hi hi Patrons!

Thought I’d share these positively ancient scrapped dust jacket I did for ACOTAR.

My ACOTAR dust jacket collection took me so long to complete because I was such a pain in the ass perfectionist. I ended up redoing this jacket 2 whole times! Part of that was me, part of that was having a very difficult client (sigh trying to be unproblematic sooo I won’t go into that)

Sometimes, you just have to let go and move on! I’m happy with where the coll...

Cardans betrayal

Hey patrons!

POV: You’re husband just disowned you. Another doodle for an upcoming animatic!

Animatic - Love Game - TCP

Heyyy Cerulean Patrons!

A very rough (slightly spicy) Jurdan Animatic I did left handed a while ago! This is loosely meant to take place at Lockes garden party. Not sure if I’ll ever be brave enough to finish and post it but thought you might like a taste hehe. Enjoy!

Uni Work Dump

Happy Tuesday Patrons!

Here’s a dump of some of the work I did back in my stint at Uni. For those wondering: I studied Illustration and Animation for a short time. Looking back on this work— specifically the concept work— I can see where I’m obviously leaning too illustrator and not hitting the animation/video game style. I’d stylize these much differently now, but it’s also validating to see that I was better suited to Illustration over the animation/game industry, which w...

Patreon Suggestions!

Hey Patrons!

First off I wanted to thank you all for your continuous support on here, its means so much to me to have such an amazing community to share my work with.

As you know, I’ve only been a Patreon creator for a few months now, so I’m still getting my sea legs here. Thats why I wanted to check in and give you all an opportunity for feedback! If you have suggestions for new content/content you’ve loved/content you’d like to see more of etc. please let me know, and I�...

Jude Progression

Hey Patrons!

Here are some sketches of Jude at different stages of her life for an upcoming animatic! 👀 Excited to show Cerulean patrons this one soon. 🤞 Enjoy!

Sketchbook - Pose Maniacs

Howdy Patreons!

Heres another digital sketch book dump! A lot of these are anatomy practice using the website Pose Maniacs, which generates poses with anatomical models. Pretty useful for anatomy practice and a quick warmup.

I’m currently on a solo trip to Texas right now as part of my “Seeking Season” (traveling around trying to meet ppl/ find myself blah blah blah) so...

Her Touch - Process + Notes on reference

Good tidings Cerulean Patrons!

Another Behind the Scenes + Process on my recent illustration. This time, a bit more of a peek into my reference!

Notes on Reference: A lot of you have inquired about my references, or confessed you feel like you may rely too heavily on reference. I hope this assuages your fears— I use a TON of reference when creating my finished illustrations!

Younger me used to think using referen...

Studies - Master copies

Howdy Patrons!

Some old master copy studies! A mixture of work from other artists/reference photos. It was interesting to try and recreate the specific brush textures from other artists, and then vice versa stylize the photos. Not sure I learned a ton from this exercise, but it was fun!

WIP - Story Time 📚

Hey Patrons!

An old doodle I’ve been chipping away at in between projects. Madoc reading some (likely age inappropriate) battle strategies to young Jude and Taryn. Drawing them as a family always twists the knife a bit. 🥲 Enjoy!
