GAZE (Commission)

Finished commission for Oz! His Yuan-ti warforged, Gaze. I love this character so much. I've actually had the pleasure of seeing them in action a couple of times!

My personal commission queue is DONE! I am now working through some Faustian Nonsense projects and catching up on old patreon rewards. \o/

May look to open another limited commission run in the late summer.

The Journey South (Lines, PREVIEW!)

I've been really enjoying the new expansion for Guild Wars 2, and I had to pay homage to this game that's brought me so much joy and releif over the past several years. Tadhgn (pronounced tie-gan) was my first character, a sylvari thief. I used a lot of inspiration from Sun Wukong, the Monkey King in his development, so Cantha was the PERFECT place to showcase it, all while wrapping up the stor...

An Adventure, WIP

An illustration WIP of my first character in GW2, Tadhgn!

 This was honestly supposed to be the real download for March, but combating this arm injury has put me behind. RIP. But I keep chipping away at it on good days, so I hope to give you guys both the lines and the colored version this month. I hope you appreciated the other downloads last month in it's stead!

Happy April

Hello everyone. I hope your start to spring has been a wonderful one. 

My condition with my arm is improving, though it's not 100%. I don't think it will be a long road to recovery, but it may be a little while longer before I can maintain a pretty steady baseline and prevent it from being any worse.

But I'm still working! Just slower. 

I'm trying out a new schedule ...

Some News

I wanted to title this some thing like "The Good News and the Bad News" but I think it mostly does just boil down to "just some news".

What I had initially thought was a wrist injury that I have been battling off and on for over a year, but seriously came to a head on Monday, has actually turned out to be an elbow injury, and some overuse of tendons affecting my ulnar nerve.

Works in Progress

A personal illustration and some commission sketches. Don't have too much to say on them right now, and at least one of them has progressed a little farther than this point, but I'm waiting on some client approval!

I wanna take some time to do some traditional art this month, maybe. We'll see if I can manage.

An Unintended Absence

Hi everyone!

I apparently, unintentionally, took a month off from posting to Patreon. I promise if I had realized it had been this long, I would have said something sooner. I blinked, and suddenly, the end of the month was here.

I wish I could say I rested during this time, but I didn't. I was still chugging through my back log, adjusting to this new job, and finding ways to get ...

The Azure Dragoon (PREVIEW!)

This month's line art took me entirely too long to finish, half because I decided to way too hard on the details, and second because I was so busy this month. But hey. Even if it's the second to last day of the month, I managed to squeak him in in time. Estinien became my favorite character of FFXIV, and I wanted to do his debut justice. I even went back to one of my main design and art influen...

Update Your Pledge

Hi everyone. This is your reminder to edit your pledge before the next charge. The $10 tier and $20 tier are temporarily being disabled. I don't want you all to be paying for a higher tier I can't fill for the next two months. You can edit your pledge again when the new tiers go live.

Thank you all so much!

Updates: Leading Up to Restructure

Hi everyone. Another long post ahead.

I have some news. I'll leave it up to you all to decide whether it's good or bad news. But I hope it will be news that turns into something better in the end.

I have not been shy of how the last several months have really impacted me. I had several major, life changing events that happened back to back, and it's been increasingly difficult to st...

Red Giants and Restructuring

Hey Red Giants!

I've been doing some thinking with moving forward in the new year. I'm definitely having to cut back on my workload, but I'm brainstorming ways to do this that also gives you guys the most value for your support, and I really value your input. Since this affects you guys, I want you to help me decide. I've come to a few options, and here they are. Please read carefully. View Post

Red Giants Sketch Forms and Updates

Hello!

First off I wanted to apologize first and foremost for the fact that monthly sketches have been consistently late for the past couple months. I know we can't always predict big life events and changes, and the toll they'll take on us, but I really appreciate all of your patience.

This unfortunately means that December's sketches are going to be lumped in with January's and wi...

What's New for 2022!

Hello Galaxy! (Get it? Because y'all are stars. I know. I'm so witty.)

I know it's not 2022 yet, but it's just around the corner. Like, THIS WEEKEND. But I have some big news that came a little sooner than expected, along with a lot of other exciting updates. At least, I hope they're exciting. 

The first, and biggest update:
