mushroom princess WIP

Whoops! Gonna be a few days late on the pinup this time around on account of a broken drawing tablet. Drew too much on it! Still gonna be a few days before the new one arrives. In the mean time I can still kinda work on the old one, but for big illustrations and projects it's pretty miserable, ngl. Basically what's happened is I've worn through the surface to the point where my pen nib kept running over the same scratch to the point where the surface started peeling, gradually creating this p...

sketchbook - 2 tone studies

Still hitting the books, doing studies, working on my weak areas etc. This one's pretty classic, try to represent the subject in just two tones. The goal is to train your sensitivity to seeing shapes and arranging value groups. IDK if I'll be able to do these daily, but going to try to do a lot of these, they really make you think pretty hard. Once I get decent at it I can add a third tone to the study. Overall I think I'm bad at simplifying and stylizing things so hope this will help me to i...

oldskool stylee [sketchbook post]

hey gang! pinup soon!

been a little preoccupied with practice over the past couple days.. a lot of it is simply too uninteresting to post, unless people really want to see me fall flat on my faces trying to draw animu faces a couple hundred times in a row. anyway, was watching some older digital painting tutorials and kind of reacquainted myself with this oldskool rendering style. you basically just go dark to light doing as much as possibly with the airbrush, building up to brighter v...

Taking Pinup Suggestions

Letting the $5+ patrons pick the next pinup char so feel free to drop suggestions here (or in the #moodboard channel in the discord.

sketch dump + blog

even tho I'm not posting a whole lot lately, i'm doing a lot of sketchbooking, doodling, and probably most importantly for my shoulder and RSI problems, experimenting with more ergonomic brush settings and ways of working. I've sunk a huge amount of time in the past like 2 or 3 weeks into that last one specifically, building up basically a new library of brushes to use. working on brushes is one of those things where it can just be several hours of drawing random strokes and doodles and tweak...

May WIP

Actually got a pretty good head start on this so there'll probably be two pics this month. I'll let the $5+ patrons decide which character I draw after.

Recent & Recent-ish stuff 4k

Stuff from the last couple weeks/months, juggling a bunch of stuff that's almost done rn so more to come soon.

April's Pic! 6k + 4k + 2k

April's patreon pinup. Felt a need to draw some Rosalina and so I did..

Might do more versions of this, since someone floated the idea of a horsedick version... Also hopefully will be back to OC art soon.. hectic month again on account of the taxes. Spending the rest of the week wrapping up the remaining in-streams! 3 to go! Will open comms publicly soon but as always patrons and discord members get first dibs.

hi

didn't feel like going to bed so wrapped this up instead ;)

April pinup WIP

making WIPs individual posts rather than posting them in chats.

giving myself a little bit of a head start on this because start of next month is gonna be packed. gonna manage to squeeze out a pic with sven over the weekend too :]

stay tuned!

EOM bizness update (cw: bizness)

sorry it was a slow month on the OC front!

might have to clarify something, as i've gotten this strange piece of feedback more than once:

"i just don't think anyone would pay to see your OC art"

i literally only post it at the free tier though? that's been my entire pitch the whole time: 'OC art/WIPs are at the free membership level'. struggling to think of a better way to communicate this (not being snarky, genuinely do not know how to communicate this as there seems to be...

✨hi it's me, sven!✨

Here's how the patreon works:

🎠-All art is sorted into galleries in the "Collections" tab, most of it is free, some of it is paywalled

🚧- WIPs are posted in the "Chats" tab

🎫-Hi-res and nsfw pinup early access are behind the $5 tier, sketchbook pages/blogposts at 3$ and OC art is free

🍧-Help me cook- The better the patreon does, the more time I can allocate to interesting projects, if you feel like making a bigger individual impact, there are higher support...

March pinup 4k & 6k

the patreon pinup for march, these are now going back to being early access..

this month's pic!

these are gonna go back on an early access model, not sure how long they should be hoarded. is 1 month standard?

recent and less recent but still recent-ish 4K stuff

I'll be uploading recent stuff in 4K on here. I can't post every pic I do on here though bc I think patreon has some slightly strict content guidelines. But I've been doing more general appeal stuff anyway so I think a good 90% of it will go up here.

slow month come to think of it..

[blog: just usual stuff about what i'm working on and how i'm tired, feel free 2 skip lol]

monthly pinup pic going up soon (it's not this pic).. went a little hard on it bc it involved some complex costuming.. i guess i should probably keep those on a early access model even tho i don't really want to. but if there's one thing people love it's artificial scarcity so who am i to deny them? anyway, what's appropriate? 1 month?

been burning the candle at all 3 ends since mid dec.. no...

did say there might be a sven pic.. ;3

pinup pic sometime next week if all goes well. still working on in-streams atm, but needed a day for personal stuff so got this done..

also!

will publicly open next month's comms around middle of next week, but patreon members (including free) can send in ahead of time. as with last month it will be $50 off on creative freedom comms.

discord: @gimmemysmokes

email: gimmemycomms@protonmail.com&nb...

slow week

doing in-stream comms this week so it's gonna be a little packed. patreon pic should go up middle of the month, and maybe some cute pics of sven if you're lucky :]

but like i said schedule's pretty packed rn, and next month's gonna be rough too because i'm going to owe a bunch of money to some guy called uncle sam..

but stuff to come!

H.T.I.D.

bizness update:

patreon obligations filled for the month! big thanks to everyone whose joined in the past month! this is an update i do periodically on the state of the patreon.

there is presently not an upload schedule but here's how my schedule will be looking on a monthly basis this year:

week 1 - monthly in-streams [pays for basic living costs]

week 2- patreon pic(s) [ostensibly what this patreon funds], in-stream comm announcement and order processing

week 3-4- backlog

feb. pinup (6k)

6k upload of monthly pic

in case u need it lifed size

feb. pinup (4K)

monthly pic - clarification to self more so than to patrons that these are crowdfunded pics rather than exclusives, and demand posting.

monthly pic is done!

reminding myself more than anything else that there is no exclusivity with the pinups, they are crowdfunded pics rather than paywalled content. they're also the type of art i need to promote the most so these will go up tomorrow. however i can upload in both 4K and 6K to make it a perk...

brief explanation of what's even going on:

tacked this onto the pinned post but here it is as a standalone as well:

i am currently in the experimental workshopping stages of a few original concepts. what's being posted is all in various stages of development. i am throwing things against the wall and seeing what sticks. your response can actually let me know what's sticking. so strongly encourage you to give me a signal. but i am also trusting my truest creative instincts to helm the ship. by signing up, you're not exactly getti...

good duck artist pt. 2 (free sketchbook pg)

long sleepless blogpost last night, bidness upd8 today:

lots of posts, lots of sketchbook, lots of sven, and even lots of oversharing (a perk as you'll recall)

all that's left to do this month is the pinup and i will consider my obligations for the month dispensed with.

that said i maybe may, i maybe might, post even more... but like i said last month, i was only committing to completing $30 worth of work in feb, and I may have done a little more than that this month... 2025-02-13 20:50:39 +0000 UTC View Post

clean break w/GMS content

housekeeping post:

removed any old GMS related posts, the archive will still be around for members in the discord. there is a channel there called #early-access. there's actually some fairly substantial unreleased material there, but stuff that i just didn't bother uploading bc it felt too niche (transformation/body mod related. i know some people will love it, but i just felt completely maxxed out on this subject and didn't want to add more of it to my workload).

the GMS h...

and the world's sickest cunt award goes to

spent 30 minutes writing a bunch of HORSESHIT so had to leave it in the drafts... maybe i'll rework it into something worth reading. not that i actually want you to read any of the sick podcast, bro that spills out of my mouth of course, but i do format and style it to be readable just in case..

here's the fundamental problem with being hardcore: it's only impressive to other hardcores.. so when you come thru the other side of all the bul...

banankontakt

everything here is a WIP basically. like I said the other day I am locked in on commissions right now with no end in sight. i do not really have time for this, i am making time for it. which means i am quite literally working around the clock to post as much as i am. it's all day, 7 days a week. 24/sven 365 days a month.

SO

likes, comments. you can actually influence what pics get worked on, finished, what vibe there'll be more of, just by response alone. At the 0$ tier you have t...
