Hello everyone,
Things have been busy, from funding wrangling to a UI re-design and finally a new dress up game in the works, lets get into it.
So much of the last two months has been the dry work of trying to organize funding for Cursed Gems (if any of you are secret millionaires let me know) - the result of which is an application pending that i'll know the status of by the end of the year ;;. It's been a truly exhausting process when all my adhd brain has wanted to do is ...

Hello all,
So the last few months have been pretty wild for me, dealing with a difficult and very stressful housing situation - fortunately it's culminated with me moving places into a lovely apartment with my gf! which was been a vast improvement, but also took about a month to get fully done.
In any case I've still been working hard, and although i'm doing a two in one for the patreon this month it's not for lack of content! This (combined) month we've got a mockup for the RPG w...

Hello all!
Well it's been quite a month, and to be honest with you i spent a lot of it sick in bed from a bad cold or otherwise dealing with general life chaos and misfortune. None-the-less i managed to finish an illustration series! OnlyFiends, which i am happy to share with you now :3

Hello all,
Guess what! I did some coding!
I decided, with a huge amount of the art assets under my belt, it was finally time to begin trying to code this thing into some semblance of functionality. I decided gamemaker studio 2 seemed like a reasonable platform to use, and while i was a little intimidated at first, i ended up enjoying the process a lot! it's still early days but i got the first draft of some pretty vital systems up and running, as you can see below.

Hello everyone,
Well march has ended up being a pretty monstrously productive month, especially for cursed gems, which is approaching it's final art pass before coding. (for real this time lol)
Firstly, as promised! the final weapon variations for cursed gems!

Hello everyone,
I was sick at the end of February so to make up for it here is an early march update.
I decided after designing the ships that the weapons were feeling a little lackluster - so i've revamped them with a custom designs per gem type slot, you can see i planned out all the designs - and matched them to the ship designs, below.
I have also shaded them, with six of the ten complete! this should also give me guidance and resolved pallets for when i shade the ship c...

Hello everyone,
Hope you are well, lots going on this month including plenty of new cursed gems stuff, some onlyfiends shading & more book illustrations. You might also noticed i updated my vibe here and on my twitter, which honestly was long overdue. Welcome to the new slightly evil vibe >:3c.
So lets begin with the thing nearest and dearest to my heart, cursed gems.
This month I have been mostly going through the logic of the game to get it ready for prog...

Hello Everyone,
I moved houses last month and that took a lot of my energy, so i decided to combine Nov/Dec into a single update - though there is still plenty of stuff to go through!
To start with : Cursed Gems.
The game is about accumulation and degeneration : curses. Being driven by obsession towards a beautiful even enviable self destruction, but a terrible self destruction none the less.
To show this, i have been working on portraits:

Hello everyone,
Lots to share today!
Still hard at work on my game! I get to share another exciting one this month, the titular cursed gems themselves. >:3
Doing the gem shading was a challenge, in order to get the effect i researched gem cuts, and the way that light passes through gems to the back facets picking up colour along the way and i'm very happy with the result.

Hello everyone!
I've got some very exciting pixels to share, it's not done yet (as in a game) but here is the basic total refinement of the cursed gems UI:
I've also almost completed all 30 gems + 4 guest gems, but i'll be sharing that hopefully in next months update :3.
Beyond that I've been doing a little sketch series where i have been trying to figure out ways into some more emo...

Hello everyone,
I was recently given some time off work and set out to work on a new game / mock-up gif. Here is the design layout! + weapons! The shaded version is 99% complete, but i'm still hammering out writing and animation. Interactivity for this thing is also a big question mark.
More as it develops!
mystery layout!

Hello Friends,
Some more updates!
Lets start with a fun sketch-page! this is me trying (eternally) to learn how to balance my blacks. But also having a lot of fun with expressions and detailing. I'm feeling recently like these sketch-pages strike a nice balance for me between testing out ideas and having something to share with my fans and supporters! Which is a thing i find myself still very much wanting to do even as I focus on my book project.

hello everypony,
So i've been absolutely alive and busy cooking up some stuff and also being hot and cute which is a new hobby of mine.
This post is long and kind of insane so i advice you kind of go to whatever depth you are comfortable with and then when ur ready go "hmm, so that's what alco's up to, cool" and close patreon and move on with ur life until the next time.
Firstly! here is some sketching, i was looking to push my pixel art line style to something with mo...

So the last post might be the end for that series, in fact i'm thinking about mixing up my practice pretty radically. Producing these as single social media works weekly is fun, but it isn't really pushing my practice forward. So i'm either going to begin work on producing more long-form content (gaming books) or at least reworking my illustration style so it has a little more depth and beauty, probably both. The pixel style is fun but i feel like it's at the end of it's life-cycle and i don'...

Hello Everyone!
Here is a little pin-up-y illustration as a little break. I'm thinking that a little series of d&d pin-up spells & girls would be cute? Something to do between more ambitious and serious works. Always very important to remember to have fun.
Enjoy and more soon!

Hey Gang,

Hello everyone! I finally have some more writing for my D&D series. https://ramheadedgirl.com/illustrations/inkstained/
This was a hard bit of writing, i wrote it very early but it sets the stage for everything else, so I tried to be careful with what I was introducing and how.
The next thing to do chronologically would be the class section, but I still have a dozen or...

Hello friends,
Here is a sketch-batch for the end of January. I've actually got about... thirty of these? but a lot of them are very messy and will probably not see the light of day so i just chose the most resolved to share at this stage.
This is a mix between some good ol country tiddy art and then something a little more serious and different. I've been meaning to get a little more cinematic with my sketches, so this is an attempt at that. But despite bullying myself over it I ...
