Verlaine commission + character interaction

I am getting my love of drawing back ;-; I realized art has been draining me more than healing me, for a long time. But I love my friend's characters and they've been feeding me in kind! They also commissioned me again to do the first piece. 

I've been "away" from comics for a while but it seems I can never truly stop comicking LOL. Please enjoy some Emotion!!!

The Heart (Jan/Feb rewards sent!)

"But when you enter the heart of the darkness

You'll find compassion

the part of you who loves you

Someone who just wanted to protect you

But forgot where they came from"

I realized when I draw the dark fellas with Jaime, they have lots of eyes, as opposed to full-fledged demo...

Avatar Charmer Commission

This was a big set that took me about two months to complete. They are apparently characters from yu-gi-oh cards, and I was to draw them basically cosplaying Avatar: the Last Airbender characters. If you like Avatar, hope you can guess who they're dressed up as! :3

OC fanart, Caim/Astoria + Verlaine

Hello! Thank you kindly for your patience as I recharge my creative batteries. These are doodles of my friend's OCs and will be part of the last rewards back from February I haven't sent out yet. Hopefully in the coming week. I hope everyone is doing well!

an update

hello! sorry about the long silence >< It's been ailment on top of ailment and I've been struggling a lot, even in just getting my big freelance job done. I only really have unfinished doodles aside from the birthday illustration and I want to offer more... so I've decided I will take a break and not send out charges for the coming month so I can give myself some more time to put somethin...

height chart

I have been wanting to make proper reference sheets of these guys, but in order to do that I had to make a height chart first so they're consistent between each other. Here is a kind of a rough go at it.

Comfort, compassion, and prayer

Hello! Rewards for the last month of 2022 have been sent ;-; Thank you so much for supporting me.

Here are some older pencils I didn't share here. Sharing strength, sharing in pain, and offering your heart to others. 

I think the way Jaime asks to know about demons and dark things speaks to the way she recognizes that they are just manifestations of pain. If you get ...

some affectionate Jo's

Sorry about the delay in rewards!! I have been Struggling. In the meantime please have some Jaime, casually fraternizing with her demon pal, Jo

HBD JC ;w;

Hello!! Once again I kick off the new year with a birthday card for JC. Rewards will go out hopefully tomorrow (today lol)!

Lunar New Year Bun

There wasn't a proper holiday drawing (lol) but here is a small commission I did for Hiveworks! bunny rel for the new year :3

Happy... Halloween!

Just Jaime and friends being cute on... Halloween...!! I'm just in time :3

(happy holidays, stay safe and warm!)

swingy sketches + wip

hello! Sorry I didn't realize I hadn't posted anything for a month haha... I have been juggling a lot of different pictures at once... @_@ Hoping my health will be better in the coming weeks. 

I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe!

Candle

a glow-in-the-dark Jaime with a tiny pain friend

(edit: plus some storyboards apparently asdfsdfadfdf)

firefly

something warm to soothe my kokoro

"Cartesia" (Commission)

Hello! Sorry it took so long for October rewards to go out... my health has been on a decline again and it's been hard to function. Here are some crops of a recent commission that I finished! And yes that sure is a dragon, a thing I draw all the time LMAO

I'm staggering the reward files a bit so I can be more prompt next month! Thank you kindly for your understanding and patience!

Jo's story

Before Jo gives up his powers, he appears before Jaime as a towering figure of darkness. He goes through a lot of internal character growth to achieve the smol version of himself. When he first meets Jaime, he would assault her without question -- well, actually, he asks one question:

"Why are you here?"

"Cold," Jaime would respond.

And he finds himself unable to ask her any f...

Attica (Commission)

Here is a cute fantasy moth lady named Attica... this one was really fun! Most of the lines were done in pencil.

Jo (again)

I've been using this wide aspect ratio for some visdef looking scenes haha! Jaime's first encounter with Jo, a little dialogue about Jo, and a small vent art from last week.

(edit: i added one of Jo having a conversation with Bernard)

September rewards sent + more OCtober things

September rewards were sent out a few days ago so please let me know if there are any problems with the files!

I coloured/inked some old pencils of Jaime and the boys being cute. It's been a rough month and my brain just goes caput when I try to do art haha... I'm glad I got to get these done though! Even though the process felt kind of clumsy.

light and space

More anime screenshots because... I love matching sets...

I talked about Teo's powers so here are the other two:

Jaime's powers are also abstract. She is a light that illuminates and draws out the darkness in people's hearts. She can also technically purify this darkness but opts not to because she believes each person's darkness is something to be respected, and their own ...

OC-tober shenanigans

Hello! I've been organizing a short narrative for AWC over on Twitter for OC-tober funsies! I'm mentioning this here because, even though I share basically everything with my patrons, I realize it's harder to get a grasp on the characters and their stories if you haven't been the...

forgiveness

I used to believe that forgiveness was something people simply should do, out of generosity. But there are some things that we don't have the power to forgive without great disrespect to ourselves. Achieving forgiveness for egregious trespasses requires effort from both parties and a part of it happens to be compassion for the guilty and penitent. I wouldn't be the person I would be today if th...

Hela

It was my friend Manna's birthday yesterday! It's her OC Hela from her webtoon Raising Hell :3 

I didn't realize it would bring the early halloween vibes

threads

I never really illustrated what the spirits can do in terms of their \\powers//, mostly because they're so abstract...? Teo is actually a pretty cool case. He was built to be able to manipulate what's called "channels" by weaving and needling the threads of pure energy that comprise them. Channels are basically gateways from one place to another, and in the spirit realm that's parallel to the r...

Jo

something loose to feed my soul 

also hello I am ready for autumn 

Discord Members List

Hello! I realized a few days ago that while I was sick and unable to manage my bookkeeping that the Patreon bot on my discord server wasn't really doing its job properly and expiring memberships the way it should have been. It was kind of annoying to realize that some people were just sitting in my server for months (years??) without paying so I went through the members list and cleaned it out ...

August rewards sent!

Hello! Sorry I've been a bit frazzled lately, and I made a mistake yesterday where I sent the rewards out to the wrong people (reward packs typically don't go out to tiers lower than The Sun). So if you got a message with a broken link, please ignore it! I sent new links to the appropriate members.

Here is a crop of a recent commission I finished!

another gift

I sent some gifts to a dear friend :3 

Also, please check your charge history to see if they went through -- some people's have been denied for a couple months. Thank you!

giri giri in colour

It's nice to be able to draw more these days ;-; 

Giri Giri

I found a real bop. I love this dude's songs LOL

Jaime's hanbok was styled to look kinda 60s!! I hope it works LOL
