Here we go again

Patreon Re-Launch - Let's go.

I am done with uploading preexisting content so Patreon is now on the same page as "Buy me a coffee". 

Enjoy my Sketches, NSFW & regular. I am working on little comic projects too but 2020 really killed my comic productivity T_T If I ever finish anything again, Supporter are the first ones to see it ;) full and uncensored.

Basker & Bea (NSFW)

My humble start into mature content. I drew those Sketches in February. I wasn't quite comfortable with mature art back then ... ahh... what a time ... XD

He is a Hell Hound and she is a Half Witch.

March 2021

I will pause my Patreon Page one more month, since I still haven't decided what to do with it or how to proceed.
The January refunds are still due and I promise I will get to it (as you know I'm slow and always late but I will get it done in the end^^" ... have faith).

I hope that I can finally print the new Sketchbook in March. This time it will have 100 pages and a bigger format, so there will be much more content ...

Refund Update

And another reason why I am disatisfied with Patreon...
Because my creator balance pays out automatically on the 5th of each month (and I didn't disable it) I now "don't have enough funds" to refund you the easy way.

I'll have to think about how I'll handle it. Probably via messaging/E-mailing you individually and asking for you paypal etc.

Why can't I charge the creator fund? (Maybe I can and just haven't figured it out yet... as always, things don't go as pla...

Important Notice (+ Sketch Collection Jan 21)

As I have mentioned in December I was thinking about pausing my Patreon page. Though I forgot to pause the billing for January I've already done so for February (you can stay subscribed and won't be charged in February, I'll inform you about March ahead of time) and since I haven't kept up with any of the rewards, you'll be refunded this months charge at the beginning of next month.

2021

At the begnning of this new year I want to think back and express my gratitude towards you guys. Thank you so very much for your support during the last year.

I don't want to make this a long and boring post, I just want to say, that I have a lot of things I want to do and achieve in 2021.

Three words: More. Actual. Projects!  & keeping my schedule

I slacked off a lot last year, it felt justified because nothing really went right and there was a lot of misfortune. S...

Sketch Collection December 20 Pt. 2/2

I know it's late but here it is. The last Sketch collection for 2020. It's not a lot again since I am never very productive during the holidays.

Today I'll also slack off a little and start fresh and new on Monday (tomorrow) ;)

Sketch Collection December 20 Pt. 1/2

Played with some older characters, made some new ones ... who is even surprised at this point XD

I recently looked at the Sketches that happened at the beginning of this year and, not to blow my own horn, but I see a vast improvement. I know the year is not over yet but I spend most of it sketching and have to say that drawing became a lot easier.

I am thinking of pausing Patreon with the start of the new year. Payments would be halted automatically so there is nothing you need to...

WIP ... but will I finish it?

I started this bc I liked the idea and wanted to play around with colours a bit but Idk if I'll actually finish this anytime soon bc that could potentially take a lot of time XD

Have a nice week ☻

Sketches Nov 20 Pt. 2/2 (+ a Story about Artblocks)

Yes, this is all.

This month has been super annoying (started to get better towards the end) I just went from one family gathering to the next (same few people everytime and never over 12 people so at least semi covid appropriate) and totally lost focus. That's why I only visit family once a month, because I can't concentrate when I know I have to go out again in a few days. 

On the days I visit family I don't draw at all most of the time, and days I don't draw are dangerous ...

Print for December 2020

EDIT: Alright, you guys positively responded so this will be the Print for December ;) Thank you for helping me out.

Dear Dragoness supporter, I need you input on something.

I recently stumbled across this illustration I started last December. Back then I wanted to print it after I'd finish it, but that never happned. Now I finished and retouched it and would want to know if it is alright with you if I made it the Print for this December despite the fact that is b...

Sketch Collection November Pt. 1/2

I tried drawing some more "spicy" sketches this time, which was actually a lot of fun. Drawing interacting bodies is still hard but I think it's getting easier. I'll book it as a victory XD 

The sketches don't show anything but I'm kind of nervous if Patreon thinks the same way^^" I mean, I got classified as 'mature' page the last time I posted something similar. Let's hope it's fine. (I mean it's definitely not 18+) 

Thanks so much for your support this month too, I kno...

Print update

We are (again) dealing with delivery delays. My favored printer really leaves me waiting this year but I didn’t change it because I am generally satisfied with the quality I receive and since they recently restructured I can understand the delays to some extend. I apologize that you have to wait for your rewards.

Your prints will come. Please be patient. :)

Sketch Collection October Pt. 2/2

I was debating to collect a few more Sketches and put the overdue pt. 2 of the October Sketches together with the 1st part of the ones for November but oh well... I don't want to make you guys wait for such a long time.
So heres the rest for October and I think I'll put November in one post ;) 

I played around a bit last month. Character Designs as always... I hope you don't get tired of it^^"

I really want to return to Dragon Valley this month but I still have some things...

November 2020 Print (Preview)

As promised (though rather late), I'm showing you the print for next month's 'Dragoness' tier. This is still a work in progress since I'm not quite done yet. 

The prints will be send out at the beginning of next month (together for this month's prints for everyone who pledged to the tier in October)

Have a nice rest of the week ♥

Illustration + Info

The colors changed a bit during the process but I am fairly satisfied with the outcome. This is the first -more or less- proper illustration in a while that turned out the way I wanted. :)

I am about 85% sure I want to try adding physical rewards to Patreon and since I am not 100% sure (because I never am about anything) I told myself "If this illustration turns out well enough that I would print it, I'll do it." So here we are. 

I'll also add a little something to the Dragon...

Ghost Ivy

I've had some ideas for little Halloween themed Illustrations and since I recently discovered Sticker App, I turned one of those ideas into something that could potentionally be made into a sticker.

Sketch Collection October Pt.1

In case you haven't seen it yet on social media, I am thinking about adding a tier with physical rewards (Prints for starters). I haven't made a decision yet but that will happen very soon.
Ok, now abut the sketches:

And more character designs.

One day I I'll need a character and I don't have to design one because I can just pull one out from my arsenal of characters.

Sketch Collection Spetember 20 Pt. 2

A while ago I said that I want to venture into more mature art, it's still pretty tame, I know, but I'm trying to get comfortable with it.
Also, since it was only recently that I managed to get Patreon to take the "mature" filter off my site, I'll keep censoring it for now. (I hope that's enough though) I might make the uncensored sketches accessable on Google Drive later.

While those sketches were really fun to do (not having to draw clothes is relaxing and stressful at the same tim...

Sketch Collection September pt. 1.5

Part 1 was the Skeleton Dragons.^^

I'm trying something a little different recently. It suprisingly helps a lot with drawing poses in general and it's fun.
I didn't know if I should include Fanart but those are sketches I did too, so I did.

Meet the Wasteland Dragons

I actually just wanted to design dragon versions of Rasca & Goliath (my multiversal characters) but I ended up creating a whole new dragon type which is now a rather important part of the "Dragon Valley" Plot. At least in terms of Ivy's character development. XD
(instead of working on stuff that will come up in the story waaaaaaay sooner , I do this XD)

I have an Online Shop now ♥

Since probably all of you follow me on at least one of my social media plattforms, you might have already seen this but I have an online shop now.

It took me a long time to find a suitable place that offered most of what I wanted to have (and the things it doesn't have yet can be added later on).

The shop is small, I can offer a maximum of 5 products for now (which is expandable of course) and the design is simple, but I honestly like it very much)

"Dragon Valley" Ch. 2 Update

The 2nd Chapter is updated to page 12 now. As always you can read it following the Link in the pinned Post (except if you are accessing via the mobile app which doesn't pin the Post on top of the page for some reason... in that case you have to scroll - sorry)

With this I finally caught up with the portion for August and can start working on the pages for the September reward.
There will be at least 3 pages each week.

Thank you for your patience and support ♥

"Dragon Valley" Chapter 2 update

As promised, the chapter is up to page 8 now. I actually want to update until page 13 (still for August), its a better cut I think. And I want to update at least until page 25 in September. Trying to update 3 pages every week. Maybe that's an easier work flow than making them all at once before updating...

The 2nd chapter has 45 pages btw. 

Ok, that's all, see you tomorrow^^

Dragon Valley Chapter II - Unlucky Ivy

You can access the first 5 pages of the new chapter over the Link in the pinned post at the top.
The first update was supposed to be 12 pages (Update for August) but I didn't quite make it, page 6 to 12 are almost done with only page 11 not very close to completion yet.
I should manage to upload 3 pages each day starting tomorrow until the first 12 pages are up.
After that I'll work on the update for September. That way the patreon advantage will catch up soon.

Tiers starting September 2020

I am sorry for changing the tiers again. As I said, I am still figuring out the best way to use Patreon and while I am overall satisfied with the rewards now, there is still some room for fine tuning :)

I have decided to make the rewards cheaper so each reward is one tier lower now. One reason for this is, that I am often late with the rewards. (so it is actually for me to feel less guilty, though you are still paying and shouldn't have to wait.)
Another, to potentionally make the re...

Sketch Collection August 1/2

I know I'm late with uploading the Sketch Collection, I was hoping I'd be abe to sketch a bit more but I'm having a really bad slump and I'm just getting out of it.

I mean I am not doing nothing XD I'm working on the 2nd chapter of Dragon Valley. I'm trying to finish the 12 pages for August so I don't deviate from the schedule too much.

The character designs are part of 2 projects I had stuck in my head. I swear some day soon I'll get a grip on my time management and work on them...

Dragon Valley Special Episode 2

There is a point to this little spin off but I won't continue it until the actual story is a bit further. Nothing that happens in the spin off belongs to the canon but I don't want to risk giving too much away^^"
