got this custom ref also lined & colored today which was nice to work on 💛
full transparency but I’ve been having a rough week that hit a head today, so I apologize if I’m quieter than usual. I’ll be doing what I’m able to but I need to get some rest and handle some irl things- the patience is hugely hugely appreciated

Now that Rune's ref was completed, I was able to go back and do the final slot of the adventure pride YCHs that was lined up for him, completing the set for Tsuki! He's a well suited character for this one it was super nice to be able to do one last one of him :3

Finished up with this very regal boy today!! This is a ref comm for Tsuki of their besties sona who I had the absolute HONOUR of doing a reference of with his design update :3 drawin this guy is always SO much fun and I am loving the new marking additions!!
The accessories & theme as a whole were a BLAST- that was really my first stab at painting a translucent iced beverage AND FOR THE FIRST TIME I’d say it went pretty well :3c all in all VERY very happy with this one💕💕

THE BIG GUY IS DONE >:3 THIS HAS BEEN SOOO SO FUN TO WORK ON… I had the theme in mind the MINUTE I was hit up about this guy and it really came together so much better than my initial vision I could not be more happy with it FR!!! I love working theme details into reference sheets it’s such a boost of extra personality and silent storytelling and I think it can be SOOO fucking cool when it’s done
This little monster belongs to the absolutely epic mechabats ☣️🧪⚡️

Second of the backlog rewards finished up for Astrokat!! ACTUALLY FINISHED THIS ONE YESTERDAY but apparently got caught up in helping prep dinner aaaand forgot to post it whoops
Don’t know why I looked at these two ocs and thought “sky fight” BUT THE CONCEPT WAS FUN AS HELL… took the time to practice some different cloud styles and I am SO happy with how the background ones came out ☁️

Got quite a lot done today considering I’m feeling a bit under the weather so I’m certainly happy :”3 once the text is sorted & approved on the ref it’s just background and fancy stuff to go and he’ll be done!! Also got a couple more lined rewards colored and ready to finish up ✨
Gonna call it a night early, get some rest, hopefully I’ll be feelin better in the next couple days here!!

Really want to get more caught up on my big rewards here before the end of the month as summer events got me knocked more behind than I has realized 😅 starting off with this experimental sketch for Jellieseal!! Originally had it laid out to be a crayon chibi & realized it was coming out more detailed than usual which I didn’t want to scrap SO we went with it :”3
Really happy with how the rendering came out- these kinds of background compositions are something I really want to...

Was aiming to finish this guy up last night but I got waaaay fuckin tired ALL at once- got him done over breakfast :3 this gorgeous design belongs to the fantastic Jupiter!! 🐝✨💕

Hard to believe this is where it’s at after I SPED PARTS UP!! SMH!!!
All the content in here is stuff I really didn’t want to sacrifice on- I know it’s not AS easy to follow as a tutorial (which I WILL be doin for things I did in here) buuuut I figured the full process would be still cool to watch SO for ease of navigating I’ve made some timestamps for each chunk of the video so you can find specific parts if you’d like :3 AND HOPEFULLY THE BARDCORE 80S MIX MAKES UP FOR THE SH...

Gonna be away next weekend on a hiking trip SO I decided to commit today to a bit of work :3 got my two current ref/custom comm sketches formatted and got accessories added, AAAND got an icon sketch for my sister cleaned up and ready to start lines & colors on >:3 💛

Been having a lot of “omg what if” ideas with Finn lately and I decided to dive RIGHT into em- toying with his design is always something I contemplate but he’s so like. Well established in all his years in his One Look that I always hesitate?? BUT ITS NEW ERAS TIME so why not!!
He’s always been part deer but it’s never been the MOST obvious trait of his so the first thought (with some inspiration from C3’s Fearne honestly) was to give him some actual deer digi legs which I ...

twoooo rewards and two ref comms all sketched up/started on today!! gonna take a break here, clean some stuff up, repot a plant, and then I wanna take the night for some Finn concept work I’ve had rotating in my brain all week >:3

Finished this comm for nimblefizz up today of a set of expressions for a PNGtuber setup!! This is the first time I’ve ever done anything akin to a rig set and it was SO so cool- what a fun OC to work with as well I love all these colors 😭💕
Super happy with how it came out, definitely a project type I’d love to do more of in the future :3c

In an aligning of PERFECT timing, this was finished exactly two months from when I started the sketch in June- insane to think this took me two months (and nearly 35 hours) to complete but GODS every single second was so so worth it. DIDN’T THINK A MEME REDRAW WOULD GET SO COMPLEX but I wasn’t going to turn away inspiration when it struck!! Little birthday gift for Evie turned into a much larger thing but considering that this is. Probably one of the best pieces of my entire career so far...

LOOONG SURPASSED 30 HOURS ON THIS ONE… just needs final eye highlights and any last minute things tomorrow and it’ll be COMPLETE!!

ANOTHER BIG DAY- sketches took me a little longer than anticipated I was havin some difficulty with getting em how I wanted but they got there in the end :3 SUUPER excited to start getting this ref colored hehe
2023-08-15 03:36:59 +0000 UTC View PostWanted to do a bit of an update since getting started on the new base has taken me longer than I’d hoped here- I have things planned out from the species poll I took a little while back and I do want to get started asap here! Things had gotten pretty hectic & decently stressful irl the past couple months and the main thing I had fallen behind on was reward work, which I’m trying to balance with other things and get caught up in, and while I’ve meant to get the base sketched and star...
