Health Update

Health Update:

I made it through the initial (9 hour long) major surgery and have been recovering at home for about a week now after a 3-night stay in the hospital.   Next week I meet with an endocrinologist to figure out what my next steps are going to be, and how to maintain going forward.  I'm still a little weak, and doing about 1/3 of my usual amount of Things in a day wears me out, but I'm doing better and feeling stronger every day. 

I'm definitely fight...

December Build-A-Sequence : Details!

Annnd since I'm going to be soon out of commission for at least the rest of the week,  I'm going to toss one more question out - but only leave the submissions open until tomorrow evening at 7pm CST.  

I have some great fodder to work with already that I could do a sequence on alone, but I want to give you guys a little more input first!

This is a final "catch all" suggestion.  Write in any kind of supplemental suggestions you want to see in this sequence!

Sneak Peek: Cabin in the Woods

ANnnd last but not least - I finished this month's batch of Cabin in the Woods: The Documentary!

I'm glad I was able to get all the art I've finished to this point scanned and posted here, as this coming week is about to get crazy - I have my surgery on Wednesday and may be in the hospital for a few days, and then will probably need more recovery time once I'm home.

I will be putting top priority on artwork "Due" in December when I get back (the monthly donation art, the free TF Sp...

December Practice/Portfolio Day

For December, given everything that's going on I didn't feel I'd have the focus to do another colored digital image, so I used the time to do another figure drawing class - and experimented with more media.  In the preview above is my favorite piece I did - a traditional pencil drawing of the model (who had some cool tattoos) - but I also did an experimental colored pencil in black paper piece - though I'm not really that happy with it.  I might try the black paper again with just whit...

Cancer Fundraiser: Colored Houndoom TF Sequence

Even being lucky enough to have health insurance, multiple doctor visits and two surgeries isn’t cheap, so I’m doing a bit of a fundraiser to help with the costs of the thyroid cancer treatments.

Since I already have a chunky worklist, and my amazing wife was awesome enough to want to help out as well, she did digital inks and flatcolors + fire effects of one of our favorite recent donation arts:

Emergency Hard Close On Commissions

EMERGENCY HARD CLOSE ON COMMISSIONS

Normally, when I go into a hard close mode, I give a few months warning to let people get their plans in order, but unfortunately there are special circumstances this time around:  I just found out today that I have cancer. The good news: it’s thyroid cancer, and in my age, and my health, is is very, very survivable, but that doesn’t mean that it isn’t going to be a rough few months or so as I have surgeries, treatments, etc ...

November Practice/Portfolio

For November I was able to attend another Figure Drawing session!

I've REALLY been enjoying them, and I Think that they've already been doing a lot for my human anatomy and value work.

This time, I wanted to practice with some inkwork, so I tried two ink pieces for the two long poses. (One was a half-body done for the second half of an hour-pose - in addition to a pencil drawing of the same pose, full body), and one for the second pose.  I want to practice with more of a comi...

Notice on small Patreon policy change

This probably won't affect most of you (and honestly may not affect any of you), but Patreon is slightly changing the way creators on patreon select what level patrons view content.  It changes from, for example $X and up to me selecting specific tiers. 

Everything will still be available as normal, unless you had chosen "no reward" - which won't allow me to select it.  

It's kind of a pain on my end because It sounds like I'll have to manually select each tier that can v...
