March Subscriber Sketches Pt. 1 (4/14/21).

The first of the March Subscriber Sketches are complete! I'm going from simplest to most complex as usual, so here is a mini sketch and a line sketch. Expect to see the rest over the next few days.

Sketchpage Commission 4-12-21.

The first finished commission after getting back to work. Pretty sure I posted the linework for this one already. It was a day from being finished then so I was pretty bummed out when all that computer nonsense went down. That said, here it is all finished! It's always fun to work with a guy, honestly I don't draw my own nearly as much as I really should. Maybe I'll start drawing more this Sunday...

March SubscribeStar Commemorative Pic 4-11-21.

It's a bit late, but here's the pic for March! I used this as a bit of a warm-up since I haven't been able to draw for a while, and that let me experiment a bit with the color. Otherwise, I think it's self-explanatory. Thanks everyone for supporting me! Expect to see a lot of commission work this month, as well as your subscriber sketches this week~

Odds and Ends: Flummery 4-8-21.

More pulling from the archive for today. As you might imagine there's A LOT of wip and unused art of this mouse, so what's here is just a small selection. Anyway, do enjoy, and look forward to a more proper update on Sunday.

Character Curiosities 4-6-21.

I went back into the archives to find some interesting unseen work since my computer still isn't repaired yet, and there I found something neat I forgot about.

Way back I did a collage style piece of all of my major characters at the time, and as a result I had a lot of the linework sitting around in storage. You'll recognize the ladies, though a few of them look a bit different. The guys, on the other hand, are criminally underutilized...

Poke Ström 0.2 Build + Easter Sketch 4-4-21.

I hope you all had a happy Easter! Have a rough sketch!

Since I'm still waiting for my screen to be repaired, I've been pretty limited in what I can do art wise. That said, it did give me a lot of time to work on "Poke Ström"! I've made a number of fixes and improvements, and I've also introduced a number of new, small features. If you wanna give it a try, you can grab the newest build from the link below.

Odds and Ends: Ström 4-3-21.

Seeing as my computer still isn't fixed, I haven't been able to do any art work these past few days. While that's disappointing, it did make for a good time to collect some old and obscure scraps some of you might be interested in.

Since Ström has been especially popular lately, and has quite a wealth of work devoted to her, she seemed like a good subject to focus on this week. Collected here are WIP, unfinished pics, doodles, and a bi...

Sketchpage Commissions 3-30-21.

Two really fun sketchpages from this round, one in progress, one already complete. There will be a ton of sketch-like commissions from this round, so if that's your thing, do look forward to seeing lots very soon.

Additionally, March Subscriber Sketches will start work on the first, so there'll be even more sketches for you all to enjoy!

As a heads up, I've decided I'll also be allowing 2 character sketches for April! Do take a...

A proof of concept build for my special project is now complete! If you'd like to try it, you can download the .zip file from the link below. Do keep in mind this is just a proof of concept so it's very limited and rough right now. It's really just intended to give an idea of what I'm working as well as to establish a foundation for building something much better.

Among the issues that need to be fixed ...

Commissions and Special Project WIP 3-25-21.

Firstly, here's the finished version of that WIP I put up last time. It was a lot of fun working with these characters again, and it seems you'll be seeing much more of them as I already have another commission lined up from the same person.

"What are all these gifs for?"

In short, they're for a very special interactive artwork I'm working on right now. I've been practicing and learning some things inbetween commis...

Commissions and Sunday Sketch WIP 3-20-21.

A preview of tomorrow's Sunday Sketch and a big commission finally completed.

This WIP probably looks a bit familiar, that's because I decided to work off of one of the doodles from a while ago I really liked. Originally I was just going to use the pose for a full pic, but I realized I really like the concept of this pic and there are some fun things I can do as far as fleshing it out goes.

Various Commissions WIP 3-12-21.

A few more wip stages for this week. I really like how I formatted this YCH ad; it's nice and minimal while getting the important info across. I generally like to be brief and clear when making advertisements, so this is definitely a format I'll be using in the future.

Soft Paint Piece 3-9-21.

An extra color piece for this week. Originally I was gonna leave this for next week, but it was kinda distracting thinking about it while trying to work on commissions. As it turns out it didn't take too long to finish anyway, so now there's nothing else to work on but commissions. Expect to see a lot of WIP this week!

March Update 3-6-21.

A quick update for everyone this month! All monthly sketches will be allowing two characters this time around, so take advantage of that if you like. I've also included some extra clarification on what you can request character wise, since I realized I had never actually put it in writing.

Additionally, I've posted an update on FA regarding my future plans as well as a suggestion box for any feedback or questions you might have.

February Subscriber Sketches, WIP, 3-4-21.

Sorry for the wait! This has been a busy week for me. That aside, here's a big drop for today.

First up are the subscriber sketches for February, as well as WIP stages for the two color sketches. A ton of variety this time around, as well as the first time I've drawn one of my character's for these sketches. Thanks again for your support! I have a very good announcement about the March sketches coming Saturday, so do ...

February Commemorative Piece! (2-28-21)

Thank you for another month of subscriptions, everyone! This month's commemorative piece is centered around Valentine's Day motifs, and is quite a bit more complex than the previous month's.

Monthly Personal Sketches for February will go out this week, so do expect to see those over the next few days!

Simple Sketch Commission WIP 2-23-21.

The start of this week has been a bit of a nightmare, but thankfully I'm getting back to work. Here's the flat wip for a very cute Simple Sketch Commission I'll be finishing tomorrow.

Expect to see a lot of bunnies this week, by the way. Between Commissions and my own work I have a surprising number of these to draw.

Sunday Sketch Work 2-21-21.

This week's Sunday Sketch as well as two WIP stages. The process of making this one was very loose, especially when it came to the color phase. I mostly just wanted to relax and experiment with an idea I had sitting around for a while, and the result is quite striking.

Doodle, Finished Commissions, and WIP! 2-20-21

Quite a few pics for today!

First up is one last warm-up from this week, as well as a bit of a pose and character study. Jinzhen is such a fun character to work with in this simplified style, especially since the monochromatic color scheme naturally works out for how she should look.

Next are the last finished Full Sketch and Sketchpage Commissions. The former went so much more smoothly in the color phase t...

Doodle and Full Sketch WIP 2-18-21.

Another quick warm-up, as well as a bit of a quick concept sketch. I really like the formal dress I put together for her in a recent full color pic, so I've been practicing drawing it more often.

Got the full sketch to flat color today, this is definitely going to be a bit of an ordeal to color, and I'll need to sort out some issues with composition, but I'm excited to see it finished.

Doodle and Commissions 2-17-21.

I'm still not quite back to normal after being sick, so I'm moving a bit slower than expected. It's fine though, as I'm still pretty much on target. Doodles like this one make for helpful warm-ups, especially when I notice I'm having trouble with commissions. I like this one enough that I might make a full sketch based on it at some point.

Following that is one of the last full sketch commissions now completed! I went for a more surre...

Commissions WIP and more 2-15-21.

Sorry for the gap in posts! I was sick this weekend so between the chills and the drowsiness I couldn't do much of anything. In any case, here's a late Valentine's sketch and some more commission work. The work from last round is wrapping up nicely, and just in time for the next one.
