I'm gonna be AWOL tomorrow until we get internet hooked up at the new place, so I'm making this post a bit prematurely. September patrons subbed to sticker tiers will have the option of receiving one of two charm designs, so one charm for $6 patrons, and a charm and a sticker for $10+ patrons!
I'm feeling especially inspired after finding an affordable way to ship thicker items, so y'all ...

I'm really tired of having so much negative news to share, but I noticed tonight the touchpad on my laptop was raised and after a little research learned the culprit is most likely a swollen battery.
I've got a new one ordered already! But I'm also a little leery of using my computer when charging it is what makes it worse(and can lead to permanent damage), so I think I'm going to p...

If you sent in a form, your stickers went out in the mail today! I think I have about 10 more to send out now, which I plan to prepack and have ready to go before the 1st so there's no delays on the sticker front.
I also got the rest of the charm goodies, so I have some photos to share of next months reward! They look super swell in person and I couldn't be more pleased with how the...

Powered through this for my own sanity. I could probably spend another two days on details and tiny adjustments, but done is better than perfect sometimes!
Process and a couple different versions attached, so don't forget to check out the links below if canoodling dragons are your jam.

I'm so amped for this upcoming move it's been really tough to focus, hence the million WIPs as my attention ping pongs all over the place. Just two more weeks to go! Half the house is packed and I add a few more boxes to the pile every day. Can't wait to kiss this crummy house goodbye on the 1st, yeehaw!
ANYWAY, first up are some odd chihuahuas that may be a sticker sheet some day if I ca...

Wolf charm is in production! Enjoy my extremely high quality mockup of the final product while I wait for all the pieces to arrive.
The monster lover charm is also here and I've had one on my phone ever since I got them because its just so swell.

Whoo! Went ahead and ordered both because I think they both have their merits. The holographic one will be a patreon exclusive though-- can't wait to get some good pics! I'm hoping they arrive next week at the latest.
Also gonna be packing up the remaining July stickers today! I think I have just enough packing supplies to get 'em out, phew.

So! I picked out some of the simpler designs I think would suit a 1"-1.5" charm pretty well. They'll come on a cellphone strap and will be the reward for September, just to be clear!

Chibis and more chibis, oh my! First one is a silly new design I was toying around with, and the rest are commissions!

Another commission that was right up my alley! I spent a lot of time playing with the shading on this one and still feel like I'm just scratching the surface when it comes to understanding light and reflections.
It was a neat challenge though, and I'm pretty happy with the results!

I don't make PDFs very often so hopefully this works!
Thank you guys for sticking with me even when I'm not at my most productive. Your support means the world to me and makes all kinds of cool things possible each month!

Finally getting around to some meatier stuff this month and I'm very happy! Colors have been a challenge, and I've been thinking a lot about detail and texture so I'm still not progressing through things as fast as I'd like, but I am making progress!
Here's some completed and in-progress commissions I've been chipping away at this week. Hoping to make time next week to sketch up some prin...

Was able to take advantage of a sale this month and get two designs instead of one again! I'm sure I won't be able to keep this up every month, but it's fun while it lasts!
Also a heads up that I'm probably going to be retiring some designs from the reward form next month. Not sure which ones just yet but most likely some of the oldest and least popular ones in order to make room fo...

Got 'em!! They turned out awesome and I'm high key tempted to have the other monster lover stickers reprinted in a similar fashion some day soon.
In other news, I'm working on some more interesting stuff next week so I'll be making up for my silence shortly!
The sticker poll will also be posted either late tonight or tomorrow-- I've been holding off because I wanted to i...

Still gotta optimize the colors a bit for the printer, but we're almost there! I'm thinking these are going to be similar in size to last month's sticker and holographic as well, so I hope y'all aren't sick of sparkly monsters yet. I know I'm not!

FINALLY everything made it and I'm so excited to start packing these up! Didn't take a picture in my hand for scale, but these puppies are HUGE at around 4" from top to bottom.
Everyone in a sticker tier will also be getting a lil monster furb, which also turned out great and is super soft and satiny!

Very excited about the progress on next month's sticker so far! Thank you all for the feedback-- it helped immensely.
Also been sitting on another sticker idea for next month, some commission sketches, and a lil self indulgent thing I drew to get the art juices flowing one night. Not as much progress as I would've liked, but I'm feeling confident again and ready to tackle some big t...

Particularly happy with how the background turned out here! No blending, just my trusty ole' inking brush and noodling away until I had the texture and depth I wanted.

Some folks in the discord reminded me that last month was my patreon anniversary and I'm super bummed I forgot all about it! I got some extra goodies planned for this month to make up for it though and I'm kinda just waiting for them to arrive, so stay tuned! :D
In the meantime, coloring is kicking my butt but here's some other things in the works. I guess furbies are my new muse, I'm so ...

Spinosaurus was hands down my favorite dinosaur growing up so I couldn't resist jumping on the spino bandwagon with my own interpretation.
I'm ordering a 3.5" test charm this week to see if it looks any good in person (along with a few other things ooOoOOoo) and I should have updates soon! Let me know if you'd like to see this as a sticker too. If not this month I may be able to mak...

Getting ready to send them off to the printer now, aaa!
Also the care weres finally arrived, so I'll be packing them up this afternoon and getting them sent out by monday at the absolute latest.

I'll be releasing a poll later with alternative color options, but I'm really excited with how this is turning out so far!
As far as the care were stickers go, I fired off another email this morning, once again asking for an ETA since their last email just said "soon" and will update everyone when I hear back. Starting to feel a lil crazy thanks to these guys giving me the runaround...

Making this available to all patrons as a thank you for being so patient with me this month!
I was spinning my wheels yesterday and getting nowhere with art, so I took a break to doodle up a lil furb. You're welcome to use it for adopts, or to make yourself a furbsona (my personal recommendation) and relish in that cute, bug-eyed 90s goodness.
Love to see it if you do, but it...

Got in touch with the sticker manufacturer finally this week and I had to pay an additional fee to expedite the shipping. I'm super unhappy about that and think they should've owned their mistake and waived the fee at least, but hey! Progress!
That said, the stickers STILL haven't shipped yet, but fingers crossed they go out next week and are here in 2-3 days after that.

I've been sketching a lot lately in an effort to break out of this funk and feel like I'm having to learn things from the ground up again...its uncomfortable, a little discouraging, but that's okay!
Not so fond of the personal sketches here, but I think the commissioned ones turned out pretty strong and that motivates me to keep searchin.

What's up fellas! So we're finally under a safer-at-home order here in Florida, which doesn't effect me a whole lot going forward but was why I was rushing around wrapping up some errands and helping family for the past few days instead of posting here.

SO, finally got some new sticker sketches underway! I really want to expand on the monster lover idea-- more garish colors and sparkles to keep them all thematically similar, but the focus can be on different things. If there's a monster you guys have a particular interest in, lemme know!
