Raising Hell promo art

My good friend Manna has been rehashing her comic for Webtoon Originals, and it releases tomorrow evening (5:00pm PST)! I did a simple little piece for it. Her comic is a very enjoyable read, please consider checking it out!

purity, sanctity, and loyalty

one more left to go!

These will be part of this past month's rewards until the end of December!

thank you

I spoke on this on Twitter/Bluesky, but the exact reason my condition has declined in the past 2 months is due to a series of events that entailed me finding out that a close friend was using A Witch's Cross (and my very existence) to source her "own" personal project, for years. I don't think I have to say much on what AWC is to me to explain how violating that was... but to clarify, AWC is a ...

Reward Tier "The Sun"

Hello! For some reason Patreon's UI is janky for me (on both browsers) and the navigation side bar has disappeared. I normally send these out over private messages but seeing as I can't access that function, here it is for those of you who don't use my Discord Server.

This post will be deleted in December.

Jo's Halo

Hello! My health has been on a downswing lately so I'm sorry I'm a bit behind on rewards. I will hopefully be able to get that out this weekend.

Meanwhile, here is some lore drop:

I had this big brain idea of making Jo's halo into a cracked glass sort of look, in contrast to the straight rays of light that the standard halo has in iconography, to represent his Fallen status.

My October

Before this year I'd never been able to complete a daily October drawing challenge because I've been too ill for as long as I've known about them. Seeing as I am still pretty ill, I decided to join my husband's goofy community "OC survival challenge" with my hamster pngtuber so that it would be manageable for me. Each day's prompt was revealed on the day of, and some were even timed so that eve...

WIPs and sketches

There is lore to Teo! When I first concepted Teo's canon form (bug!Teo) I had no idea the bug part of him was more of a flowerpot than anything... I just knew there was a big pink peony growing out of his back and every time I drew a peony I kept being reminded of wings and feathers. So now he's a flower made of wings! I think my brain was so large for this LOL.

"Broken"

Hello!! Rewards are going out -- I'm sorry for the crazy delay. I ended up getting in my own head about wanting to provide more without considering my situation and I felt so crushed by my self-imposed pressures T_T;

Anyway they are primarily inkwash pages (the PSDs have slightly tweaked versions of each) but I really like them. This one is... actually quite old and incomplete but it's on...

about iOS + no charge next month

Hello!

I don't know how well patreon keeps patrons in the loop about its policy/pricing changes but apparently they're increasing fees for iOS users by 30%, since Apple is implementing a 30% fee for anyone who subscribed to Patreon services via the iphone app... y...

rewards postponed (no charge next month)

Hello! Sorry I've been so quiet, I have been experiencing a downswing in health/mental lately and I was also dumb enough to injure my drawing hand LOL. :( I was going to pause billing anyway, but rewards have been quite delayed so I am so sorry for the inconvenience.

Cygni (commission) + wip

Hello!! I am behind but on track LOL. I want to get this swing spread coloured and sent out. Thank you always for your patience and support. It means a lot to me.

tbh I need to stop making personal commissions so fancy and go back to my old ways of only doing simple stuff LOL... It is satisfying to see finished though...

Alexandrite

Hello! I've been back in my sketchbook playing around with the same snazzy new ink from last time. I figured out how to bring out the bright blues in this ink so that's been fun. The profile drawing of Bernard ended up being a subconscious redraw of a very old ink piece I did... probably around 7 years ago? Pleased to inform everyone that I've figured out how to draw him cuter lol.

friend's OCs and Jaime vibing with them

the first is a commission of a friend's OC. His design and motifs were very my cup of tea so I kind of indulged haha

Jaime is the character I send to take care of my friends' OCs. She's just nice :3

strawdoll (traditional)

hello! This was drawn as a little gift for my longtime friend. I think it turned out decently! This new ink is throttling my world LOL.

rewards finally out

Hello! As mentioned before, the May billing cycle was also paused (so it was a 2-month break). I will take this chance to recoup and recharge; our routine will resume on June 1st, after which I will send out the next wave of rewards.

It's been hard to pick up traditional media back up after being so destabilized for the past few months but my good friend surprised me with a fancy new ink ...

"the act of giving acceptance unconditionally and voluntarily to an undeserving person by an unobligated giver."

Jaime and Bernard have a Complicated relationship where one has deeply hurt the other but neither are compelled to leave each other. I've wanted to draw these two together in an intimate dance for a while and for some reason it was one of the hardest ones to finish haha....

doodle dump

just some doodles I got out of my system haha

The rewards will be going out when I come back from Hawaii (kawaiikon lol)... and probably after I move, I'm not sure. There are some big changes happening in my life and it's been tumultuous. I will keep everyone posted. Please stay well!

rewards postponed to next month

Hello! I realized I have to re-prioritize because it's been too rough for me and I don't want to have to rush out the rewards. I'm pausing the coming April billing cycle so I can send out the files then instead.  Thank you for your patience and understanding. ><

I've thankfully managed to secure a place to move yesterday, so at least that is a load off of my anxiety. I have a l...

running behind

hello! In light of many things I am running behind. It was nice to be at ECCC last weekend as my first US con since 2019 haha... Lots of familiar faces I didn't even get to meet before. 

If everything goes smoothly I will get the rewards out this weekend. Thank you kindly for your patience!

rewards and status update

huff huff thank you for your patience!

Some of you already know about my situation from the Discord server but I'm actually facing eviction right now lol... Long story short, not even a month into moving into my current unit I was told I'd be getting kicked out to make room for a family member of my landlord's. Needless to say but I've been devastated, mega strapped for resources (time an...

Frieren box wip

Manna and I are back on our bullsh*t LOL

I will be selling prints of these when I finish too!

She saw my last AWC painting and told me she wanted the same kind of vibe for the interior art so here I am, vaguely plagiarizing myself!! :)

I'm starting to settle into my new abode and this is what I've been working on this month. There wasn't a plan, but I like how it's turning out. It's my first time painting an illustration of the four together in the same setting ;-;

pencils (astrel + satan)

Here are some older pencils I polished up to add to the package I just sent out! Please let me know if there are any problems with the files.

I don't often mention this, but "Bernard" isn't his real name. In AWC true names are hard to come by, as the name of another individual is a powerful thing to know. It's similar to getting a hold of one's social security number, but in an emotiona...

Happy New Year!

These will be part of the upcoming December rewards! I am going to try to get this out this week before I move apartments (lol life's been a bit overwhelming.)

I'm sorry about my absence, this month has been throwing all kinds of stressful life thing. But there's some exciting developments too, so I can't complain too much! 

I finally decided the books I want to make out of AWC. This will be at least a year down the line, but I would love to be able to create a box set of four different illustration books -- one large compendium of painted ...

"Crown"

My AWC character designs are all very simple and mundane but sometimes I wanna dress them up LOL. Jo is technically a prince!! I wanted to give him a crown for a long time. It was a very clumsy ink wash but it was really fun doing the black parts!

Also I cannot stop drawing this guy on the electric guitar lol
