New patrons are now charged upfront

Due to some scammers cheating the system and getting access to my content before they can be charged, I now have my settings configured so that all new patrons are immediately charged upfront. Sorry, but this is what happens when I get a notification of more than a handful of "new patrons" that ditch their pledge right away because they got their content for free without Patreon charging them. Why...

Veris and Autumn Busts

Oct and Nov rewards for iast! These are his ocs Veris and Autumn. I drew Autumn before but not as fierce as this! He asked me to specifically draw them in these poses. I ended up making it look like they are fighting with each other haha XD

And with these two, all the current requests are done! I'm going to take a break from these for about a week before I ask for your December ones. Thanks so m...

Priscilla and Lando Busts

Oct and Nov bust rewards for Squeaky! These are her ocs Priscilla and Lando. By the time I got to Priscilla my hand was cramping so bad because I was in a drawing mood all day, and she was the last thing I worked on, but I tried my best to finish her anyway. >.<

I realize now I really like drawing happy people lol XD

Max, Chiyo, and Adrian Busts

Rewards for my patron, Laura! This is for September, October and November. She made her request late for September, so that's why she has three instead of two. 

These characters are part of her magical girl AU for her characters. :)

Puella and Aquinas Busts

EDIT: Fixed some errors on Aquinas. 

Oct and Nov rewards fro Wkwied! These are his characters Puella and Aquinas. 

I really like how Puella came out. Aquinas is a slime girl who melts when she's sad, and for some reason I really wanted to draw that with this bust, but I couldn't add too much detail, so I'm not sure if the slime shine came out the way it should lol

The Buddy Boys

This is a rather unusual reward sketch request. Usually I don't do this kind of stuff, but since it's for one of my actual best buddies IRL, James, I just couldn't refuse. :)

On the left is my character Letticus and on the right is his character Boltaire. Both are little boys with a lot of love to give and a lot of butts to kick. XD He asked me to draw them as best buds, and to be fair I really ...

Selena Bust

$5 reward for Revontulet! His beautiful character, Selena. 

Summoner Blue Bust

$10 reward for Squeaky. This is the leader of that merry band of color-coded characters, Summoner Blue!

Kee Bust

$10 reward for iast. This is his half-elf character, Kee. :)

Lilith Bust

$10 reward for Wkwied. This is his character Lillith. :) 

Letticus Gem Ver. Bust

Here is an unusual request: James asked me to draw my character Letticus as one of his Gemstone people for his patron reward. XD

Not much is different except for his eyes not being glowy with "stars" in them. Had a lot of fun with this one, and I'm happy with how he turned out!

Amethyst Bust

Bust reward for iast, his character Ameythyst. A very lovely character. I believe I drew her last time too but with her makeup. :)

Knight Red Bust

$10 reward bust for Squeaky. He's part of that color-coded cast of characters I've drawn for her. :D

I'm really pleased with how this one turned out. <3

Taonaus Bust

$10 reward bust for Wkwied. :) This is his oc, Taonaus. She was really fun to draw. I love her pretty fire hair! ^^

Phoebe Bust

$5 reward for my patron, Revontulet. This is his lovely character, Phoebe. She is a dragon lady. The small star details strained my hand, but I really liked drawing them. 

Magical Boy James

Not to be confused with my patron and buddy, James!

This is my patron Laura's oc, James. 

He's some kind of sassy magical boy. I kept changing the pose because I couldn't figure out what to do with him LOL but I think this came out ok

Lance Bust

August 2018 bust reward for my buddy and patron, James! This is his cute lil gnome knight, Lance. His gnomes are extremely stylized, so they are a bit more challenging to translate into my style, I'll admit. But I like how he turned out anyway. :)

Weird Patreon Glitch

I have been informed by iast that there is a glitch in the patreon system that is declining pledges. He was removed by the system, and it appears my most recent patron was automatically declined as well. 

If you haven't been removed from me but are pledging to other people, please double check your pledges. 

Not sure when this will be fixed, but I hope it is soon!

Seipora Bust

Tier 3 reward for my patron, Laura. 

This is another character in D&D group. Her name is Seipora, and she is a cute half elf!

Genevieve Bust

Tier 4 reward for Revontulet1982! This is his moth fairy, Genevieve. 

He gave me a choice between this character and his other one, Winter, but I couldn't turn down an adorable moth fairy. ^^ 

Liriel Baenre Bust

Tier 4 reward for my patron, iast!

He requested I draw Liriel Baenre from the Forgotten Realms novel series. I haven't actually read the books she's from, but I love the Drizzt series and I love Drow, so I couldn't refuse drawing this lovely lady.

I couldn't figure out what her eye colors is supposed to be so I just went with yellow. xD;

Monk Orange Bust

Tier 4 reward for my friend and patron, Squeaky Tachibana!

This is another character in those set of color-named characters I've drawn for her previously. This time it's this cute husky guy named Monk Orange. Had fun drawing this fella. ;)

King Allister Bust

Tier 4 prize for my friend and patron, James. This is his handsome elf king, Allister! 

I have such a bad headache but I really wanted to get this handsome man done. ^^

Kurumi Bust and Chibi

Here are the monthly reawards for Revontulet. This is his character, Kurumi Ishihara in her priestess attire! This character was fun to draw and not as frustrating as I thought it would be lol. 

This is also the last chibi to be made into a reward. Congrats on snagging the last one, Revon. ^^;

Paladin Black Chibi and Bust

Here is the June 2018 reward for my patron and friend, Squeaky Tachibana! This is yet another character in a group of characters I've drawn for her already that seem to have color-themed names. This guy is named Paladin Black. An undead pally... Who would have thought?!

I tried to make him look irritated/angry in the bust, but it's hard making expressions for a skeleton-face without exaggerating...

Alvyne Chibi

This is a chibi reward for Laura, one of my patrons. Unfortunately Patreon BLEW up the image, making it look incredibly jpegy. =_= 

Anyway, it's kind of funny drawing a chibi version of a Gnome since Gnomes are already tiny lol!

Amethyst Bust + Cisty Chibi for iast

Here is the monthly rewards for my patron, iast! On the left is his character Amethyst. On the right is Cisty from Dungeon Magic. 

This became one of those "my hand aches now" sort of images because I had to redo BOTH of their poses multiple times. I finally settled on these, but I think I pressed the pen too hard because my hand was cramping up by the time I was finishing up Ameth...

Melina and her Little King

This is a chibi + bust reward for my friend and patron, James. Usually I don't do something different like this, but since he's a very longtime friend, I decided to do his special request. This time he said he wanted the chibi version of Melina's husband interacting with her. Why is he little? Well who knows! Magic probably. XD

The image is larger than what I usually do for these mont...

Gorth Chibi

Chibi reward for my patron, Laura. This absolutely fabulous half-orc was too much fun to draw. 

Also Patreon.. PLease stop blowing up the sizes of my drawings and making them all jpegy. -.-

Rogue Purple Chibi and Bust

My friend and patron, Squeaky, requested me to draw this character, Rogue Purple, for he tier rewards. He's part of the same group as the previous characters I've drawn for her. 

For some reason the bust turned out a bit bolder-lined than the chibi. O.o

I'm not totally satisfied with the bust, but I really like how his chibi turned out.
