Smug Smile (Herekk Icon)

An icon painting for Kelda_Dragon of Twitter ! Kelda here knows exactly how good it is to be a dragon.

An absolute pleasure to paint. I'll let it speak for itself. Hope you guys enjoy. Feel like there was a jump in skill here. Something clicked. As always, thank you guys so much. The high res is provided for you to dig into if you want to look at it closer. :)

2 Minute Rest

A quick rest between sets gives a chance to air out Bruce's wings and check his phone... Assuming his old phone can load his messages in that amount of time! Just need to be careful the wings don't intrude on others.

A cameo from DJDarkfox as well, who has been super nice to me since we started talking. A chance to sneak in another pose and some other muscle type as well. This one is... R...

Comfort

 Finally winning 6th place (granted, in a more local competition) allowed Bruce a little more wiggle room. Most of it paid off bills and late rent, but he managed to find a few clothes to make himself more presentable. Goodbye 10 year old tank top, hello new shoes.

... But he still wears sweatpants because they're too comfortable to give up. Tighter pants are not as appealing for him...

Oath

"Until all have found their place, I will keep watch."

Ajani Goldmane from Magic the Gathering. Work done in Clip Studio Paint. A bit of fanart, a bit of personal, after how much I've been enjoying War of the Spark on MTG: Arena.

It feels almost strange to be doing personal work, even if it's tied in an IP. This was... Almost liberating. I had fun for the whole time I worked on this...

Changing of the Seasons

A painting for @estragonvel of Twitter ! It's the changing of the seasons. Summer's over, and I didn't realize. It's getting so much colder, but it is no surprise.

It's been two years since I worked with this character, and he's lost a bit of the lush green he held previous. I wonder what Summer and Winter will bring... (That is to say, he teased letting me work with those two seasons as ...

Stress Test

A grayscale for @FloofNinja ! It's important to make sure your door frames are up to the task of repeated opening and closing of the door, and the entrance of an extremely large sabertooth tiger. Don't want any of them OSHA violations.

More fur!! Super happy about that. I'm really beginning to enjoy doing it. Need to work a bit more on my feline faces, so many dragons!, but fur is becomin...

Eclipse

A grayscale for CediFonei ! No no no, this simply won't do. We can't have two things as bright and large as the sun. Just... There we go. That'll do. Just hold that pose.

A really fun idea from Cedi, who has way too many good ideas. c: I gave him some extra time because I love this boy, and I was having fun playing around with fur and fluff some more. I think it works in... Most spots. St...

Shadows of the Ashen

The shadows of the Ashen and his lessers grow larger and weigh heavier. Gear up--you're going to need all the strength you can muster.

For Living Phoenix Entertainment's "Archlight Online" and its content drop on April 16th, "Shadows of the Ashen"! https://archlightonline.com/

Full disclosure, I do work for them, a...

Avatar of Io

A painting for Kaszronda! Io's power remained free when his body was sundered. Through Kaszronda, perhaps Io might return. Bahamut and Tiamat don't seem to have any qualms about it at the moment!

Ahhh, more dragons! And D&D-based to boot. I miss playing tabletop. Now that I'm no longer as quiet and scared of it, it would be nice to try it again...! I keep itching for it. TAZ and Criti...

Flight Check

I swear ArthroSikes (Twitter) is just trying to make sure the helicopter is up to par! The angry roar is just... To make sure the pilot is good under stress...?

Woah, new Patreon layout. Weird. I dunno how I feel about it...! But anyways, hi, hello! More paintings to show you guys. c: Thank you, as always, for the support. It means the world to me. <3

I've been using gradient map...

Misty Morning

A painting for @ThornDracorn and @MarshysHappy ! When you're this large, almost every morning looks this picturesque.

Tried using Gradient Maps again, to what I would call some good success!! EXTREMELY pleased with this result. I hope you guys will be as well!! Enjoy, and as always, thank you so, so much for you continued support. <3

Sanctuary

A painting for Artherion ! While relaxing at a monument to Kael, an archmage comes to visit, perhaps with a message...?

Man, January was rough. I think that was clear, from how quiet I was and how slow progress felt. I logged into Patreon expecting to see a lot of people having left, but... Thank you all so much for your patience with me. ; ;! I'm doing my best to get my head on straight,...

Bathhouse Bard

A painting for Redmight! His crocodile, Asam, enjoys a sunlit soak with one of his personal guards. Always time for a quick, humorous tale, though!

December was rough, I won't lie. Between MFF and a bad breakdown, I had a lot on my plate. I'm doing better now, but I apologize for the lack of paintings or high res things here this month. Those of you that have stuck around, you still have ...

Gentle Giant

An encounter with knights in the forest with @SparkFloof 's Sentri looks to not be going the most amicably. I swear he's just trying to ask for directions!!

(I love this eagle to pieces, oh my goshhh. Birds!! <3)

Thank you again as always guys. The past monthish has been a rollercoaster, but the support you all offer me kindly each month helps. I apologize for the slight slowdown... Onc...

Fuji Feud

Another painting for Kurrikage and ThornDracorn . Huoyan Shan is probably just angry no one restocked his kitchen. Thankfully, Thorn is on the case to help settle him down... With a "little" help from an iguana on the side.

I love painting for these two~ <3 They always have such good ideas, and the characters are fantastic to play with as well. They were so gracious to let me go over time and...

Grand Theft Auto, Dragon Edition

 A painting for Pyxaron and Rshndrgn of Twitter! Nothing like a relaxing day, working on the cars you've collected... Until Pyxaron decides to take one for himself. That paint is probably even more ruined now! 

Thank you guys, as always, for the continued support. I can't ever stress that enough. <3 I'm still mulling over how or if I want to change my Patreon around a bit. If I do, ...

Light in the Darkness

A grayscale for @DragantaStar . The Darkness will consume all if you let it. Life throws constant aggression and turmoil at you. It surrounds you in it's tendrils, talons, and teeth. Be the Light in the Darkness. Fight it. For yourself, and others.

Easily my new favorite grayscale I've done. Draganta let me go at it for 10 hours instead of the usual 5 a Grayscale is given, and I think it really ...

Break the Targets!

A grayscale for Kardukk! Not everyone's Final Smash is equal. And when you are both capable of being extremely large, AND you take a page from Bowser's book, well... Someone's in for a world of hurt.

Kardukk is a character I've loved for a while now. When he approached me for a commission, I knew I had to go for it. I love kobolds, and his is one of my top three. Had way too much fun painting th...

The Right Moment

A painting for Leindurstit of FA! Brynn's got his eye on a straggler in the herd -- just waiting for the right moment to jump.

Really happy with this one, though I think my new hurdle is figuring out saturation -- it gave me a bit of a stumble at the start! Am also super happy with my brushwork -- I always feel like I'm really heavy and opaque, and just need to work on how to handle that intelli...

Super Toasty

Since this was a gift to Toasty, as well as a way to pay one person back of the immense gift that multiple people worked together to get me, it's only fair that the high res of this is free.

I know I say it a lot, but thank you all so much, from simple viewers and lurkers, all the way to people willing to support me monthly, for believing in me and enjoying what I do.

Dive

Painting for Adryx of his otter, Jax! A quick dive may startle the fish, but it's also a pretty efficient fishing method when you're a skilled swimmer...! 

Presented in high res for your guys' continued support. Thank you so much, as always...! <3

Meditation

A painting for greendragon101010 of FA of his dragon, Wilgeon. A nice, secluded area for meditation, filled with nothing but the sounds of silence... Try not to focus on the rumble of the stomach, the monk just forgot his second lunch. 

I love the Wilgeon character. So glad I got to draw him again. There's a high res for you all as normal, and thank you as always for your support!! <3 2018-07-15 18:11:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Jumpscare

A grayscale commission for Aurem of FA / MrAurem of Twitter of his otter, Sin! Video games are great fun and a relaxing activity. Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is definitely one for good, calm, rhythm and puzzle solving vibes, I *swear*. 

When Aurem suggested an exaggerated expression in the original concept, I think this one clicked into place, and I knew exactly where to go. I'm glad...

Suckerpunched

Grayscale piece for DakyDakara of FA! If it's not the guy in front of you that'll get you good, it'll be the one you never saw coming.

I actually got some critiques recently from two artists I respect a lot. They mentioned that I need to work on my contrast, to not be so afraid of lighter areas. So, in the future, I'm gonna try to avoid going so dark so quickly. I feel like it helped here, but I...

Tidewalker

A painting for KaijuDrake of Twitter / SavagingDragon of FA. When a kaiju travels by waterway, it makes everyone's summer beach vacation a little more nerve-wracking. Today is not a good day for one oceanfront.

Big dragons!! Always a treat. And you can see exactly how big with this high res. Thank you guys, as always. <3 

Making an Entrance

A highres of the painting for Owlflame1 of FA. When you pose a challenge after striding through a doorway, make the best impression you can. Owl's a pro at that, thankfully. (If you want to know the context behind this moment, check out his short story here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/27538368/ !

I Do

I never get much chance to draw women, when a lot of my clients are men and want to be big or powerful. So when I saw this in my commission proposals, it stuck out and kept coming to the forefront for the 24 hours I was open. Pretty much knew I had to do it then, and I'm absolutely happy that I chose to. Because ahhhhh I love thisss. It was such a nice change of pace, even if the pressure felt hig...

Roll for Go-gurt

A Dutch for my old roommate and super good friend, @Jaggie_8 on Twitter. She wanted a mascot for her gaming group to put on a shirt. I couldn't say no to her, not after she helped me start drawing years ago, and even let me move in to go to college. c:

Presented in higher resolution. Thank you guys for your continued support, as always. <3!!

Acid Splash

Getting water sprayed on you by a vehicle sucks... Getting water sprayed on you by a spirit bike that can alter water into acid? ... Oh dear.

A painting for KingAlcadrios of FA! Presented at a higher quality (3600 wide!) here on Patreon for your continued support. Thank you guys so much, as always. <3

The Way Home

The way home is fraught with danger. Trust in the stars.

A piece for the Battlerite art contest, and coincidentally one of a friend's favorite characters. Sirius riding through the night, using his magic to guide him~

Since it's for a contest, I'm giving this high res to all my patrons~ For those under the $5 level who might have missed the news, "high res" is now 9" by 12" resolution if p...
