Duke's Most Wanted- Vol. 1

The characters- Bo Peep (Toy Story series)

Anne Hughes (The Iron Giant)

Anastasia (1997 Don Bluth film)


For about a month, I had a bounty list prepared, and of the characters, 4 were requested on my streams through donations. The 4th character will be posted after it is completed.

WIP- Duke and Mage in Sweet Fighter (pencil test)

Everything you see is subject to change. 


Months ago, one of my planned projects was a comic series. This comic is a test to see how these two characters interact, and establishing a tone that best fits what kind of story I want to tell before I go forth and do this bigger comic. 

I did this comic in one of my old sketchbooks, and even though I didn't plan on using my scanner, the end result was good enough that I wanted to post these in decent qualit...

Update: Getting Back on the Ball Again

Last update, I addressed my computer broke, I had to buy parts to get it rebuilt, and my house having to be rewired, meaning I would be without power.

Well, the house was successfully rewired. The wiring in this house was 70 years old! I am amazed the house didn't just blow out, but I would not be surprised if my last power surge fried my router, or at least part of it.

The next course of action is getting the plugs changed from these old 2 pronged plugs to 3 pronged plugs. My roo...

Grand Canal Blueberry

I love Mario Party 7, but when my Ethernet adapter came in the mail, I thought playing this game would be fun for a stream. 


...Daisy rolled a 20 on her second turn, managed to get enough coins during this one turn to buy two stars, and my first solo cruise ended in 3 minutes. I took it personally, so here is the results.

Some Previews

I have decided to move my laptop and set it up as my studio PC. The USB to Ethernet adapter came in the mail, and due to my plug situation, my powerline can only get a download speed of 20mb/s, but my upload speeds are great, and my test streams have been incredibly consistent. No disconnects or frame drops occuring past 1% of broadcast length!

I am slowly getting back into the rhythm. It will be short lived, because starting August 2nd, the electrician will come to rewire the house. I...

Another Update

The day after I made my last Patreon update, I talked about my wifi becoming so unstable that I had decided to go on a hiatus from streaming. I mentioned that I would still post artwork during this. 

Well, my computer responded by breaking. My motherboard is bricked. I had to empty my bank account just to cover all the parts needed to replace it, and even then, I needed my parents' help covering some of it. This hit right at the tail end of the month, so I am not going to be able t...

Time for another Update

Hope everyone is doing alright!

So if you missed my last update, the quick version is ever since I moved to this new home, I have had more problems than I can count, and they have impacted my ability to make and post art in some way.

Well, The past 2 weeks has been a total nightmare like usual, but now the issue is my internet connection. I cannot maintain a consistent connection when going live, and the result is I have had multiple nights where my streams have a 99% rate of drop...

Patron Requests- May 2023

It is July, and I finally finished May's requests. 


And worse, I don't think I will be fully in gear until August. Even then, that's the month I am going to be getting my wiring situation settled. 


The July Tier 4 poll is coming up in the next few days. If you have not requested your character, fellow tier 4's, please send a DM! I will send a reminder too. 

Just to be clear, the poll will be for a 4 part traditional sequence starring the ...

Quick Update- Where Ive Been

Whats up everyone?

The past month has been hell to go through. May 20th, I moved from my old home to Savannah 3 hours away, and everything went wrong.



I will list them all here.

My TV broke on the way here. It was wrapped and packed with as much care as possible, but somehow it still broke on the way here. That had to be replaced.

My mic stand broke, so I replaced it.

My gaming chair had to be thrown away, and that had to be replaced.

My Biggest Portrait Yet

I will have an update coming, but for now, here is a special drawing that I have made.

I have been playing tons of Tears of the Kingdom, and I was interested in tackling a Zelda themed drawing. This painting is 18x24 inches, and I used my set of oil pastels to make it. I initially drew the picture digitally, so I transfered that sketch by drawing a grid on the paper.

I do have another picture like this planned. It will be a Diane Foxington expansion.

Update- The Project List

How's it going, everyone? 


It's been 2 weeks since I have quit my job. So far, I have been able to get a little more rest than usual, and I got my final paycheck, so from here on out, I'm going to be working as a full time artist again. I'm still having to deal with packing up and preparing for the move, and I'm moving for real around the 20th of this month. 

So what does this mean for the Patreon? Basically, I will be unable to work on my 2 main projects, The...

Patron Requests- March/April 2023

I apologize again for taking so long to make these. I made an update yesterday regarding where I've been, but to summarize, I've been burned out from working my job and dealing with moving to a new place, and I have not had a break from this madness in a while. 


This is the list of requests for March, but because I had no time or energy to finish them by the end of the month, I cancelled April's requests to get these done. Still wasn't any good because now I've got 11 ot...

Big Update- Where have I been?

What's up everyone? 


I haven't been able to update my Patreon for the past month. These 3 months have been nothing short of exhausting and frustrating. The reason it's been so frustrating for me is because my current job has taken a turn, I'm moving to a new home next month, and I have had no time to cope with this fact, nor have I had a proper break to sit down and prepare. 

No, my job has seen a sharp increase in customers, while the store has seen fewer sta...

Stage Sequence WIP- Stage Background 1

I did this background last week, but due to my hectic schedule, I haven't had the time to do anything with it. Currently I am doing the sketches for this set, and with this being a blueberry sequence, I am going to make a version of the background without the pole, and then make a version of this that's zoomed out for the later parts. 


And yes, the WIP sketches of Mary Jane Watson will also be posted here once I have them drawn out. This sequence will be 10 parts long.&n...

Some Derusting

It's been a while since I've posted anything on here, so here is a drawing I've done in my free time last night. Mage in a new pair of PJ's waking up, forgetting she helped with an experiment in Duke's Dreamscape. She must have taken a nap in the simulation.

Patreon Requests February 2023

My apologies for taking so long to send these. I have put off scanning each drawing this month, but here is the latest lineup. 


I'm running of some of my blues and skin tones, so I got a few more. There is also a vote to be had for the next 3 wheels. You can see it here: https://strawpoll.com/polls/XmZRxQW5xnd/results

Patron Requests- January 2023

This was the first month I've decided to do Patron requests traditionally. So far, my first impression is I love it. The paper that I got for this series was a little too smooth for my colored pencils, so I opted to use alcohol markers (and since I only got 36 Copic Classic markers and 6 skin tone Copic Sketch markers, I went out and got a 120 Arteza Everblend Marker set as well). 


This is a rather enjoyable way to do Patron requests! I think I will be doing each month's...

Tinker Bell's Flight- Animation Update

After getting all my backgrounds done, I finally got to animate a scene. It's still in progress, but now here is what I got for this project. 


*The first half mostly boarded

*The entire inflation scene boarded

*The backgrounds finished

*the inflation scene's animation started


This January has been one of the most productive I've had in a long time, and next month, after Commissions and Patron requests, I got more to do from here. This i...

Tinker Bell's Flight WIP- Backgrounds Update

I have worked on a few more backgrounds. I have less than a few more days left to finish the storyboard before I start animating this. 


The Storyboard will be next up after the BG's are all completed. Most of these are good enough, but I will do a little extra polish as I get around to the animation phase. 


Once February 1st rolls by, I will be returning to commissions and Patron requests, so I am going to book it

Tinker Bell's Flight storyboard- Pg 1

Due to time constraints, I'm going to post the storyboards 1 page at a time. I have my backgrounds started for the most part, but the animation process will definitely be simplified. Unfortunately, there will have to be another delay. I'm going to be animating this in March, and finishing the storyboard throughout February. 


Lastly, the Patron requests will be posted sometime on Tuesday.

Tinker Bell's Flight- Progress Update

So the way I'm doing the tinker bell animation is I am going to be creating very simple backgrounds and limited color palates, and from there, I will be keeping the framerate at around 4 to 6 drawings per second. 


By doing this I think I will be able to make progress on this little by little. Here is a sample of what the scene looks like as is, and I'm going to finish the entire animatic this way. I hope you all enjoy it!!

Quick Update- New Changes Coming

I hope everyone's doing well!!


So I'm going to be trying something new starting January 2023. This month has been pretty hard, Mostly from my schedule at work becoming a giant marathon every week. These changes are more in response to my schedule becoming more difficult to maintain while doing art.

Patron Requests December 2022

And the latest batch of Patron requests are complete. 


This was the hardest batch to finish yet. Not just because of the characters' complexities, but more because of my schedule. I've had two 5 day blocks at work, a 4 day block, and a block of morning shifts. I've been ungodly tired for the entire month, but I'm glad it's finished. Expect an update soon.

Monthly Update- December 2022

Happy Holidays everyone!!! I'm doing my monthly update on here and DA now. That way it's easier.

My goals this month:

  • 2 Commissions
  • Patreon Requests
  • Tinker Bell's Flight Progress

This update is going to be pretty beefy, because November was a light month, and I've gotten some rest, as well as nailed my goals for this month. If only my work schedule was better, and then I'd get more done XD I'm only able to draw for 30 minutes pe...
