Rose Winters -- Exclusive 4/7/23 (and sneak peek)

Note: All characters depicted are 18+

One of the things that really impresses me with a lot of modern games is how accurately they can represent the faces of real-life actors and actresses for their in-game characters. Rose Winters had facial modeling done by Linde Baars, a model and photographer in her early 20s, who has such a beautiful face, I had to draw her.


Oh, and ...

Lady Dimitrescu -- Exclusive 4/1/23

I have done Lady Dimitrescu before, but both times I don't feel like I did her justice -- there were a couple of design details that I had missed, and I wasn't thrilled with her likeness. This time around, I was able to reference her full 3d model, as well as get photos of the facial model, Helena Mankowska. c:

Are there any old characters that I've drawn, that you would like me to revisi...

Lady Dimitrescu and Adult Rose Winters (WIPs)

Seeing as how April is nearly here, I figured I'd let you all get a peek at what I'm working on -- Lady Dimitrescu, and adult Rose Winters.


I jumped back into Resident Evil Village with the new DLC, and I had a lot of fun! I wanted to prepare myself for the release of RE4 Remake, but seeing as how I only have an Xbox One, I have to wait until I upgrade. Until then, I'll settle ...

Cammy, Street Fighter 6 -- 3/24/23 Exclusive

As I said before, I wanted to start being more thorough when it comes to drawing characters featured in polls, even if they don't win! The way I see it, is that the winning character would be done first (usually the final exclusive for that month), and then I could go and do the runner ups and other characters with fewer votes. That way, while the character that wins out gets to be done first, ...

Ashley Graham (RE4 Remake) - Exclusive 3/15/23

Is anyone else excited for the Resident Evil 4 remake coming out later this month? I played the hell out of that game back on the Gamecube, and then the Wii. I hope the remake is as long as the original, and doesn't excise a ton of content like the Resident Evil 3 Remake did... Plus, if I had to choose the next Resident Evil game to get a remake, I wouldn't have chosen RE4, since that still hol...

Ellie (Last of Us 2) -- Exclusive 3/10/23

As promised, here is the other winner of last month's poll, Ellie. I still need to get a PS5 one of these days so I can play these games.

Cait (Fallout 4) -- Exclusive 3/6/23

Fallout 4 is one of those games that I can play over and over again, without getting bored. Even though my old Xbox One S can barely handle the game without crashing every 5 seconds (screw you, Downtown Boston), I love every second of the game.

Cait was never my favorite companion, but hey, I had to give her some love. I'll probably do more Fallout characters in the future (looking at yo...

Cassie Cage (MK11) -- Poll Winner Exclusive 2/27/23

Okay, so I had to made a hard choice here! Considering both Cassie Cage and Ellie came up with 18 votes for the poll, I had to choose one or the other quite quickly, with time running out before this month was over. So, I decided to go with Cassie Cage, BUT, I will be doing Ellie next month -- she will likely be the second piece going up in March, as the first Exclusive is pretty much finished....

Supergirl (Sasha Calle, The Flash) -- 2/21/23 Exclusive

So I saw the new trailer for The Flash a few days ago, and I was struck by the next character I had to draw, in Sasha Calle's Supergirl. I know there are some fans out there who wish they had gone with a more classic look for the character, but being someone who never really grew up on DC comics, I don't have a preference, and find this version quite nice. I like how sleek the costume looks, as...

Poll for 2/23 Exclusive >w>

Another late poll, where you all get to decide who I'll draw as the fourth and final exclusive for this month. It will only run for a few days, so I have time to work on it before the month is over -- I promise I'll put the poll out earlier from now on!


I figured I'd grab a couple of options for a few different franchises, and give you all a bit of a wider net to sample from. D...

Commissions commissions commissions!

Here is another batch of recently-completed commissions to tide you all over until the next exclusive, which will be ready in another day or two.

EVA -- Metal Gear Solid 3 -- 2/3/23 Exclusive

I played this game to death back in the day, even though by the time I got to it, it had already been out for a few years. It always made me laugh how over-the-top and goofy these games were, and how over-indulgent the female characters were, but that was part of the charm. The fact that you could play the same game over and over, and have a different experience each time thanks to the differen...

Evie Frye (Assassin's Creed Syndicate) -- Exclusive 1/24/23

I've been wanting to do this for a while now, as Evie has shown up in several polls before, but never quite made it to the top. I finally decided to get her done. c:

I never actually finished this game, although I did love the aesthetic. At that point, I was kind of tired of the empty open world of the Assassin's Creed games, as they felt more like cardboard movie sets than actual worlds...

Kat texting -- Exclusive 1/19/23

Library session -- Exclusive 1/10/23

Sorry about the delay on this one! I actually started this a while back, in the hopes that I could get ahead on all my Patreon content, and just schedule it ahead of time. But of course, I fell behind a bit -- but not to worry, the next exclusive is nearly done as well, so I should be back on schedule in just a few days.


I really like drawing more casual scenes with characters ...

Quick Content Update: Coming Next Week!

Sorry for the slight delay this month, my friends -- I injured my writing hand a bit, so I need to take the weekend to recover... But not to worry, this month's first and second exclusives are coming pretty much back-to-back next week. They are both about 75% complete, I just have to finish them up before posting them.

While I heal up, why don't you all let me in on any interesting conte...

Exclusive Poll for 12/22 -- Super Late! ;D

I know this poll is late, so it's going to only be up for a short while before I start on the winning result. D:
Raven and Evie have been floating in the character poll ether for a while now, and most of the other characters that performed better than them in those polls have been done, so I'm going to keep inching them forward until eventually they are bound to get done. As for Mikasa, she'...

Adult Wednesday Addams -- Exclusive 12/8/22

I have yet to watch this show, but apparently everyone loves it, so I've got to sit down and go through it. I'm surprised it's done well, considering the shlock coming out of Netflix lately.

Have you seen Wednesday yet? If so, without spoiling anything, what's your favorite scene?

Princess Zelda (Twilight Princess) -- Exclusive WIP

Here's the lineart for the next upcoming exclusive. There have been so many good suggestions from patrons regarding what characters to do, so I made the decision to forgo a new poll, and instead revisit some old options and suggestions.

I'll be honest, I have never played a single Zelda game in my life... If I were to play just one, which would you recommend?
