I retired these a while ago because, as much as they're really fun to make, they're also quite complicated (and ultimately not that popular). I still had some pending from my monumental backlog, so I finally got around to finishing them.
I did mention that at some point, when my workload eases up, I might bring them back as seasonal rewards if there's interest, so your thoughts would be m...

My lovely Artlings of Light! (aka, those of you who play FFXIV)
I'd like to formally invite you to this year's first patron exclusive FFXIV Art Party!
The purpose of this is mainly to get the chance to meet as many of you in game as possible, while also enjoying a chill evening of drawing together, taking screenshots of each other or simply hanging...

Full title: Boomslang Ritual
First piece of the year! And oh my lawd, what a piece this was. I've done a lot of complex things over the years - down to that one with all the hands (incidentally, commissioned by the same person who did this one) - but nothing has been as tech...

Let’s be clear: 2022 was not a good year. My mental and physical health said “absolutely not” and after years of diligently keeping up to date with all my responsibilities, suddenly I couldn’t do more than continuously apologise for being so far behind on things.
So let me start with that: I am incredibly sorry I...

Another Mystery Box, in which I decided to give the creepy mood a rest and go for some chill, restful vibes to hopefully summon some of that into 2023.
This reward was a "Mystery Box" - a type of reward where you give me a character but I get to decide how I draw everything. You can purchase these with points through my patreon reward portal 2022-12-19 12:13:12 +0000 UTC View Post

2022-12-14 19:08:26 +0000 UTC View PostWell. We’ve made it. Sort of. At least in part. Or in parts.
How are you guys? How’s this year treated you? It’s been a toughy on this end, not gonna lie. There were times when I had no idea where to borrow the energy from to keep it going, but here we are - at the tail end of it.
One thing this year has forced me to learn was the importance of self-care. I’d heard that if y...

I uh... Merry Christmas? For all the spooky art I didn't get to do in October, I guess I'm making up for it now heading for this, the cheeriest season.
This was a Mystery Box for which I was given a "gothic, dark, evil, contract killer that uses poisons to stun her prey" and so I went with the concept "taste of your own medicine" or "you done f*cked up* for this one.
I honestly had ...

A very Yoshitaka Amano influenced Mystery Box, in which I took this lovely elezen and transformed her into a sword-dancer, Garuda-esque, creature-outfit. Very PoV dependent - what do you think the story is here?

I rarely leave things sitting in my WIPs, but this piece had the dubious honor of having lived there for nearly two years so I decided that I'd finally get her done in time for N7 day. Except it's N9 day. Shut up. It's still N7 day somewhere.
This is actually (yet another) remake of an old piece of mine from about 10 years ago, which I made shortly after finishing ME3 to satisfy the disap...

2022-11-06 10:04:48 +0000 UTC View PostIt’s only been a few days since the last update and yet I’ve somehow managed to sprout 5 new white hairs and a wrinkle the depth of Mariana's Trench across my forehead. The end approaches swiftly, rallied by wraiths that wail oddly alike Mariah Carey.
In brief, I survived my second Comic Con, but just barely.

Would you believe me that the first part of this update consisted of me staring out the window for about 15 minutes, writing it in my head because I couldn’t get my brain and hands to work simultaneously?
And that’s where October finds us, my lieges. Surrounded by piles of print stock, to-do lists and the tenuous but steadily growing idea of replacing myself with an iceberg lettuce dr...

Our last Art Party was an absolute blast - especially as it included our yearly costume contest and the genius ideas that came out of it. Do check the thumbnails for some screenies! Really can't wait for them to implement wider DC travel so that everyone can make it to these.

So this was booked as a couple's reward, but because I adore this couple and I have been dying to make something special for it I basically went ham and turned it into a full on piece.
I won't even go into how intensely complex this was - from scales, to hair, to aligning the gazes - and instead I'll just ask for your honest feedback on whether you like and and, most importantly - should ...

Best bird daughter! I'd been dying to draw her and all those lovely blue tones since Endwalker came out, and then someone booked has as a reward and gave me the chance to go to town on this!
As usual, it was a lot more work than it looked at first, largely thanks to all the tiny feathers, as well as the feathered hairstyle. And of course my habit of telling myself "I'll just color it flat...

A preview of all the things I'm currently working on! This week has been hectic, so I decided to focus on drafting everything currently in my queue instead of focusing on one piece alone.
This is something that actually helps me get my groove going, especially if I have previously spent too long stuck on a piece. It's a bit of a workout, plus it breaks the 'starting' barrier that's so eas...

Oh lord, what a trip it has been. If I have been quiet recently, harbor no doubt that it's purely because this beast took every waking minute to finish. Quite easily my most complex piece to date, because although I've worked in monochrome before, I've never had to fit in so many little compositional details and make them work together in a way that felt organic.
HOWEVER, I am so, so prou...
