You probably guessed it, but February's reward theme is Nevertasia! All the February rewards will be themed after the Neverland/Fantasia crossover Valentine's Day project I did this year. Also, just FYI, there will be no song mp3 for February. But don't worry, lots coming up soon!

I think watching this, you can tell that Morgan and I have done a lot of casual shoots together!! You can tell we're not in a hurry and we're basically just chillin, haha.
Go behind the scenes on the Valentine's Day "Nevertasia" shoot!

For January's behind the scenes video, hang out with Blake and I while we record ten songs in two days for my album of Dragon Age: Inquisition tavern song covers!
feat. second-day hair, my weak chin, and a one-eyed cat. (And a lot of little snippets of the songs!!)

OKAY GUYS, after this past weekend's difficulties, we're going to try again on Sunday! Make sure to check here beforehand for the link.
Also, I am VERY bad at multitasking and have decided that a gaming stream is not the smartest plan, haha. Instead, I think I might... cut & style an Inquisitor wig? Or maybe stitch buttons onto the Skyhold pajamas, if I haven't completed that by then? We sha...

2018-02-12 17:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostSO. My internet went out, and restarting the router isn’t solving it (maybe it’s a local outage?) so I guess we’re rescheduling the stream for next weekend. 😞 I’m sorry!!
Additionally, I’m experiencing some kind of Instagram glitch where any posts I try to make to my Patron Instagram account (even stories) are going to my main account instead, so I can’t update that Instagram...
In just about 30 minutes, the February stream will be live at this link! I'm going to be playing Dragon Age: Inquisition and updating you guys on what I'm working on. (Just fair warning, I'm using some slightly different software for this stream than usual, so there... may be a few technical difficulties, haha. Bear with me!)
Also, make sure to /click through/ to view the stream on YouTube if yo...

I've decided to start doing these this year to help everybody stay on top of which months are themed after which projects! (Especially because they sometimes get a little mixed up — like this one! Lavellan isn't done yet, but all the January rewards will be Lavellan themed.)
Meanwhile, December reward emails just went out to $5+ Patrons, so that's a wrap on December! HOORAY!

See you this Sunday at 2:00pm Mountain Time for the February Patron-exclusive stream! I'll be updating you on my current and upcoming projects while playing Dragon Age: Inquisition! Make sure to check Patreon for the link — it'll go up ten or fifteen minutes before the stream starts.
2018-02-10 02:57:48 +0000 UTC View PostAlright folks, it's time to schedule the February stream! I'm trying to involve more activities with these streams instead of just me talking. So this time, I'm going to PLAY DRAGON AGE!!! Gasp!! You guys have heard me talk about how much I love this game, so for this stream, I'm going to do my best to update you guys on what I'm doing while also running around in Thedas.

2018-02-08 03:16:21 +0000 UTC View PostHi guys! You may have seen that Patreon just released a new feature called "Lens" that's basically Instagram/Snapchat-style stories for Patreon. I'm not sure how I'll be using it, so I thought we could have a little discussion about it!
I definitely see this as having crossover with my Patron-only Instagram. ...

These go live tomorrow, but you guys get them first: It's Nevertasia! (because you guys know much I love portmanteaus...)
Here's the important info:
For Valentine's Day, I asked Morgan to be a Neverland mermaid to my centaurette for a girlfriends shoot based on my old fanart:
I didn't really have the right set up to shoot full-body images, but we got some portraits that I real...

For December's behind the scenes, see how I created my Dr. Horrible-inspired pin-ups! This was a fun little shoot that was actually my first shoot with the home studio I taught you guys how to put together back in July.

Two updates!
One: my Inquisitor top is done! Now I just need to find the right pants base at a thrift store... cross your fingers for me. 🤞
Two: Blake and I had our second day of recording yesterday and we finished all of the tavern songs (the original set of ten)! Blake will work on mixing and mastering them now, as well as embellishing the rough instrumentals he’d made for recording...

T-minus 30 minutes until this month's Patron-only livestream! Come join us for updates on my recent and upcoming work, and a live sneak preview of one of my upcoming songs, featuring Blake Smith!
After the stream is over, you will be able to watch the recording at this same link.

Based on your votes, our Patron hangout this month will be this Friday at 6:00pm MT! Incidentally, I'm recording audio for the Dragon Age: Inquisition tavern songs with Blake that day, so depending on how long we record, we might actually perform one of the songs l...

SO, I didn't plan on this being my next project, but I get so weird at the beginning of the year about new projects for some reason... for some reason, the thought of working on Holdo makes me really anxious, but this project has been really fun so far.
Anyway, this is my Inquisitor Lavellan cosplay from Dragon Age: Inquisition! (I'm currently 2018-01-15 01:31:27 +0000 UTC View Post
Okay, this is a major throwback, but y'all know by now I haven't made a full new cosplay in like 4 months (it's so hard to balance the calendar, music videos, and the holidays with new cosplays! ACK!) so I figured I may as well pick a seasonally-relevant costume that I haven't done wallpapers of yet. Plus, this remains one of my favorite photoshoots!!

Please select the dates/times that work best for you! Since I'm pairing these with activities now, this will probably be around 2 hours. All times are in MT.

Please vote for your pick below! Or if you have a pressing need for a completely different tutorial, please let me know what it is! (I've already had a request for a prop-related tutorial and I'm excited to put one of those...

Those of you who were at my December livestream, or watched it afterward, know that a lot of things went wrong!! November's behind-the-scenes video is all about the ~cursed shoot.~

As my final bonus shoot, by popular demand, I did... headshots, basically! Photos of me as myself! I didn't realize until I was editing these that I haven't had headshots since I was in Not Literally. I'm really happy with these! You can see the whole set here.

Phew, last October reward! I took a few selfies with Tom Riddle's diary a while back and they were very well received, so I did a whole little photoshoot (featuring the "stone wall" backdrop, a Christmas gift from Sasa! Thank youuu!)
Enemies of the heir beware.
I've made some small updates to the reward tiers (the ones I discussed in my last stream!) Here's the recap:
As per your votes, I did November's tutorial on Instagram marketing! This one's just a written tutorial.
Occasionally, my Instagram strategy stops performing for me. During those things, I try to take a step back and view my posts objectively to figure out why the things that worked before aren't working anymore. This is just a little walkthrough on how to do that! Hope it's helpful to those of ...
