May Updates

Good morning Stars!

It's a new month, which means I have a few things to go over.

First off, I once again apologize for being behind. I feel like a broken record at this point. My health and some other real life issues set me back more than I want to admit. I want to say that this will improve going forward, but I know for a fact the next two months are actually going to be more tha...

April White Dwarf Sketch Requests

Only had two submissions this month, but I had a great time with both!

Ichigo for Zip
Archon Horace Gotch, a CRW wrestling manager for Silent.

Neutron Stars' are coming soon!

Edit: I forgot to post the individual images. Oops. Fixed!

Slight delay!

Sketches and the finished Trigun piece are going to be a little delayed. I'm having to give my hand and back some much needed rest, and I still have some work to complete for both tiers, and finish shading the boys.

Thank you for your patience!

Just a Tief (Commission WIP)

WIP of a fun tiefling I've been commissioned to draw. Her outfit is SO FLUFFY, and I think I'm starting to get this ruffle thing down.

She Baby (commission)

Finished commission for Silent, of her character Silent Veil as a wee lizardlet. She's had this idea for illustrations of key points in her character life, and I'm pretty stoked to be a part of it. 

I think the giant dodo plush is my favorite part.

Orlyn (Commission)

Finished character design commission for Kanta, of his new aasimar paladin. We're hoping to get this guy colored in the future, but for right now? I'm super happy with  how his concept turned out. :)

Commission WIPs

Whew. A little more behind than I wanted to be, but we're not as far off schedule as I thought! These both should be finished this week. 

Stampede (Lineart Download x2)

Getting the line out early, since it was technically due last month. Whoops.

I can already tell major improvement in these two and the original sketch from 10 years ago. It's more dynamic and the proportions are a lot better. I also figured out how to draw hands gripping things. lol. 

Anyway, I hope you all have fun coloring this. I hope to have the colors up soon!!

It's coming ;)

It'll be quadrouple this month. $5 and up patrons are getting both the Stampede and '98 redraw inked, and bothe versions colored for high res download this month. Kinda excited for it.

Shizuo (Commission)

Finished character design commission of a Kitsune character for Konnor. I really like how he turned out, and I had a lot of fun designing a pretty androgynous appearance with clothing and features. Also, big ol fox ears.

Avalaine (Commission)

Finished commission for Kall of their FFXIV character, Avalaine. It's endearing to have a dorky sniper character. She was a lot of fun to draw.

Commission WIP

Whew. I'm hoping to finish up two commissions in the next day or so, and then start work on the next batch. Crossing my fingers to make some real headway on these and get them finished by, or near, the end of the month. So far it's coming along okay!

Have the flats for a Kitsune character design that's been so much fun to work on.

March White Dwarfs Sketch Requests

Sketch requests for the White Dwarfs tier for this month!

Flex forced me to draw one of my own OCs so have Isolde, my wife.
Penny Pummel, another CRW wrestler for Silent!
and Vivi for Zip!

Blast from the Past

So I promised an illustration. And I promised a download for this month. And I promised it would be Trigun. You can't say I didn't deliver. :P

My saga of issues ate into my time this month, so I unfortunately couldn't get anything new out without sacrificing more time on commissions, which I've already lost. So have this piece I did after my last rewatch of Trigun '98, from 10 years ago n...

Commission WIP

It feels good to be back to work honestly. WIP of a commission I started today. Hoping to make more headway on some this week! Stay tuned.

This Kiss (commission)

MY PC ISSUES ARE FIXED! Mostly, anyway. lol

A commission finished for Zippy, of a magic moment that happened in her D&D Campaign. Her character Penelope finally shows her affections to Johni, her tiefling girlfriend, in front of a live concert audience. I also included a second version highlighting the kiss itself.

Thank you so much for trusting me with this moment!

Delays and PC Issues

Hello everyone,

If you're a member of my discord, or have seen my rants floating around on Twitter, you know that I have had no shortage of PC issues for the past month. Over a month, actually. 

It went from a month of diagnosing my old PC, a new motherboard with no changes, and now, things keep continuing. I was forced to order a whole new PC, and even it will not power on. 2023-03-21 20:30:15 +0000 UTC View Post

Art Cards Round 2

I'm having a lot of fun with these.

Anyway, another round of art cards is DONEZO.

Jet Justice Jr., another CRW Wrestler
Sonnet and Nomad, corresponding cards for Zip and Theo.
Zion and Gawain, for Konnor, who is contributing to "Draw your own OCs for once in your life, Az". Zion is his character, Gawain is mine. It's some gay shit (I also really want to give my friends Rache...

Battle Shiba 6!

Finished commission for a client who wanted their brother's dog as a MegaMan inspired character. This was a lot of fun to do, I can't lie.

I used a different paper for this piece than I've used for my last several marker illustrations, and I gotta say... I'm not as big of a fan of it. I was little disappointed, because it handled my pen ink so well! It just didn't hold up when it came to ...

Commissions Open for Patrons! (CLOSED)

Update: All patron spots are now filled! Thank you all so much aaaa
If you'd like to claim another spot, you'll have the chance when I open my last two spots to the public.

Good morning Stars,

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend. I managed to make more headway this weekend than I expected, and I feel a little more confident about opening commissions for Patrons.

As usu...

Delay on Open Commissions

Hey everyone. I'm delaying opening commissions this week, even for Patrons. I am too far behind with things and I do not feel comfortable opening them up at this time. I want to get the last two in my current queue, as well as these art cards, a little further along before I take on another batch. I'm aiming to open end of next week instead.

Thank you all for understanding!

January/February Neutron Stars Sketches

I wrote this who update a few days ago only for some of it to end up a little irrelevant. My mom's trip was cancelled last minute so there is no need for me to house sit, and I ended up finishing patreon rewards in time. lol

Here are the Neutron Stars rewards for January/February

Hua Cheng for Konnor (another of my favorite blorbos as the kids say)
Charon, a gift from Dan
Kill...

March Updates (Just a little early)

Hello friends! I'm giving some updates going into March, since I won't have too much time at the beginning of the month. I'm playing another catch up game. Woof. But you know what? That's okay. Stuff's gonna get done, and I'm having fun with the process.

Full disclosure, not only was February a shorter month, I lost a good week of work the week of Katsucon. Oops. It was partially due to K...

The Storm Lord: High Res Download

He's creeping toward the end of the month, which is a lot later than I'd intended to post. Oop. But February was a short month, and had a lot of things to pack into it. You don't realize how valuable those extra 2-3 days are until you don't have them. Haha

Anyway, thank you everyone who came and hung out with me on stream while working on this. WHEW. It was a lot. But I'm really happy wit...

February White Dwarfs Sketch Requests

Hello friends! Here are the sketch requests for the White Dwarfs tier!

Kakashi, #1 scrungly for Flex
Binx for Zippy
King Behemoth, a gift from Silent
Karo Karnage, a gift from Kaera!

Commish: Andseka

A finished commission for another FFXIV friend. Her character in her wrestling persona, Andseka!

I had a lot of fun with the angle and effects on this one.

I'm really enjoying doing work for this group. The Cross Realm Wrestling is an RP group of FFXIV players role playing their characters in universe as wrestlers. They're the dudes playing the dude disguised as another dude. It's a...

Commission: Lakaera

Finished commission of a lovely green dragonflight lady. 

Mid February Updates

Whew. Katsucon has come and gone. While I wasn't doing much sewing, the weeks leading up to the con were kind of a blur. I had a flurry of appointments, and a costume to finish fixing which led to a little radio silence, and a commission I forgot to upload here. But it worked out okay. 

The con was a lot of fun! I didn't get to do much around the con itself and see the people I wante...

This is where the next illustration poll would go...

If I was holding one.

I'm going to be absolutely terrible for March/April. There won't be any polls for content this time around because...

I'm making a Trigun illustration. 

I've been so slack about making fan art for things I both love, and for things that are surging in popularity while they're at the peak. So you know what? I'm gonna do it. Trigun has been one of my f...

Save the Date

AAAAAA I FINISHED IT.

This piece was both a lot of fun to do and a lot of work. An art nouveau, tarot card styled save the date for a friend's wedding. I'm really honored she thought of me for this, and I am happy to have given them something special for their special day.

I also included a standalone of the phoenix motif that I put in the background, that ended up getting mostly co...
