Meatier Showers 2019

Hi, everyone!

Come 5th March 2019, I'd have spent 12 months at my current company as a storyboard artist. The first 6 months were intense to say the least, and the following 3, unpredictable at best. Things started to settle down towards the end of the year, and now that I've adjusted to the challenges of my day job, contemplating my next move.

Retrospective

For those of you who've been supporting me since last year, or from the early beginn...

FurDU 2019 Conbook Submission

HARROW!

Here's something I've been busy with the past 3 weeks since returning from my new year's vacation. Conventions in the western hemisphere are relatively expensive for me to attend, let alone setting up a booth in dealer's den. Since attending FurDU last year, which is in Australia, Gold Coast, is much closer 6-(8-hour flight) and financially more feasible, I felt that I might want to expand my audience down under. A large following of my readership hails from the...

Spyro Progress Update

Hi guys!

With the relaxed scheduling, I've been able to focus more on improving my sketches and pushing for stronger poses, instead of rushing to hit delivery deadlines. Here's a quick look at the changes and what you can expect down the line.

You'll notice that in the original sketch, where I was sticking as closely as possible to Delvin's pose and proportion's, I've opted for a "stronger" stance by pushing Spyro's chest outwards, changed his facial expression and generally a who...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hi, everyone!

A HAPPY 2019 to all my supporters here on Patreon. Thank you so much, for being a part of my artistic journey and for being ever so patient while I work on my craft! 2018 was just crazy challenging. I still distinctly remember returning from JMoF 2018 and the reality of things hitting me so hard, that I developed a ocular migraine mid February. At that time, I just couldn't see any future ahead of me, no more than a month beyond. For the most part, I was r...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Hi Everyone!

Seasons greetings and thank you for your patience! The long weekend is finally here and I've been busy sorting things out and shifting gears...

With the 4-day holiday, not only was I able to recover some creative energy, I could also finally get around to working on a fan art project I really wanted to do. I love the work Nicholas Kole did on Spyro Reignited,...

After Dark Account

Hey guys, quick update. Tumblr WAS supposed to be my art dump for my hyper muscle and weight gain stuff BUUUTTTT guess what happened? I was pretty half-assed with my updates anyway...

Instead, here's my Twitter AD account: @snaressexy 

I'll be posting the hyper muscle and growth stuff there eventually. This will be part of my Patreon 2019 shift into a donation jar model instead. If you like what you see in future posts, please continue supporting me here. I'll throw...

Quick Update

Hi, Everyone!

Thank you all for being patient with me while I work through my schedule and change of plans. I have a major deadline coming 18 Dec, which has taken up most of my time and energy. On the bright side, I have 2 long weekends lined up (22 Dec -25 Dec) and (20 Dec - 1 Jan). What this means is that until then, most of the upcoming plans and changes I wish to implement on my Patreon can only take place during those long weekends. For now, what I have are most intangibl...

Burnt Out & Break

Harrow!

Terribly sorry for the long silence. November has been exhausting and intense, especially since the weekend when my housing agent threw me under the bus, and I nearly had to move out (on very short notice) end of the month. I may elaborate on the details in a later journal post, but if you've been following me on my Twitter account, you'll understand that it's been a harrowing time. So, I won...

Final Poll for 2018

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for another month of support. I have not received many requests for December's polls! Save one for Spyro, there haven't been any new canine or feline candidates. If you guys would like some character (that's not someone else's OC), please leave your suggestion below in this thread.

There will be some significant changes for 2019, and I'm still gathering my thoughts on the matter. You should be receiving a news update from me soon, in the meantime, ...

FAP Oct 2018

Hi everyone!

Here is Machoke from this month's Pokemon Poll results. You may notice some major changes to the proportions from the earlier version:

As much as I love over-sized pecs, ultimately the goal of my Fan Arts Project is to capture the essence of the source material and execute in my styling.

Oct 2018 Poll

Hi everyone! Thank you for another month of support. Been having quite the backlog and am terribly sorry for the late polls. So here's a quick recap, Machoke was voted the most wanted for Sep 2018. I'll be working on its completion by this 28 Oct, so hopefully it doesn't snowball into the following month, because here are the new candidates for NOVEMBER'S FAN ART PROJECT!

• Canine - Doggie Kruger (Tokatsu Sentai Dekaranger)
• Feline - Beast King (On...

Terribly sorry for the delay! The past 2 months have been really hectic and finding enough strength and energy to press on over the weekends has been nothing but challenging. That said, Bowser from last month's FAP has been completed and ready for viewing.

Life Updates

Harrow!

It's been a long while since I last had time for a journal entry, especially having started on my new full-time job as a storyboard artist early March this year. There's been a number of things piling in my mind lately, so here's a quick update on the major developments so far!

Yowzers!

Looks like someone's picked up the Mega Mushroom! As promised, here is the sketch for this month's fan art project feat. Bower! To make up for the delay, I've also included a bonus Smash Bro. into the fray!

I may choose to ink and color King K. Rool when there's more time. However, as things currently stand, I am actually 2 weeks behind schedule. Do hang aroun...

Quick Update

Hi guys. Just wanted to let everyone that this month’s Fan Arts Project will be back on track this coming Sunday.

Long story short, work has been pretty hectic, this month especially, so much that I haven’t really been able to even tweet about it. The general fatigue has pushed back production, however, rest assured I haven’t forgotten about you guys out there who are also supporting me each month.

Please kindly be patient, and you can expect to see updates coming in on the 2...

Harrow!

Firstly, a warm welcome and hello to all my new supporters who joined in recently. Thank you, everyone, for your patience. This weekend I've been busy cleaning up the original draft I did for this month's fan art project:

Admittedly, I had gotten carried awhile a fair bit. Revisiting the sketch a week later, I decided to tone down Lionheart's physique in favor of...

Declined Payments

Hi everyone,

It has come to my recent attention that some patrons' automated payments have been affected this month - largely due to system issues on Patreon's end. Unfortunately the only quick solve lies on the end-user side of things, and it is with that I must request of my patrons to check their Patreon receipts.

If your payment has been declined this month, you may not be ...

Hi everyone!

Thanks for supporting me through the month of June. As mentioned earlier, I normally stream on weekends to work on my projects and stuff. With your aid, I've renewed my Picarto Premium membership and will start recording down streams again. 

Based on last month's poll, Jake Long American Dragon was voted the most wanted for July 2018. Above is a preview from this weekend's stream.

Hey everyone!

Thanks for your participation for the launch of my Fan Arts Project. The results of June are in, and we’re got strong votes for Jake Long as the forerunner, and Weregarurumon as the runner up.

This weekend, I’ll begin work with sketching out Jake Long and giving him the buff treatment you guys have asked for. Weregarurumon will be locked in for July’s poll option for the canine category. Please feel free to throw in your requests here, and remembe...

Color Progress

Hi everyone!

Base colors have been added this weekend for Batzz. I've done a preliminary round of rendering (lights and shadows) but haven't reached anything satisfactory. I'm not entirely sure how detailed or simple I want the coloring to be, so another round of experiments is necessary the following weekend.

In any case, here's a preview of where I am at now. Next weekend I'll also be working in the background and I should be on time for a delivery on the 25 Jun. Also,...
