Lots more works done for the artfight grind + the completed reference sheet commission for an avian patron!
I've been trying to explore and study shading lots and I'm very happy where my artstyle is currently at with some of these pieces being my absolute favourites in some time!
The storyboard for the upcoming Crowsong MAP is finally getting cleaned up! I got amazing experience working as a background layout artist for mystery skulls back in last autumn and i've really want...

Been enjoying these first few days mostly drawing before I bite into the bigger projects! Quite happy with all of these but I was stupid and enabled speepaint recording on the wrong file and so only a few of these will appear in this month's vid >:(
Piece 6, 8 & 12 are commissions whilst the rest are attacks & revenges on my friends/inspos! Such fun variety of characters that challenges me to experiment with new things!
For those curious the animated icon was do...

Finished! Despite the bigger Crowsong having such simple animation it still takes so long since small changes or mistakes become so noticable with copypasted frames!
I practised more after effects background animation too and it's so nice to use! Hoping to dwell into more complex effects and such eventually too!

Back on the art grind featuring a bunch of artfight attacks/wips for my friends, a Crowsong + Magpiewing sketch, wips for a littleswallow icon animation practise, progress on the daycare animation meme and finally less recent oc icons for those who haven't seen them yet!
I'm having fun using the artfight even as a chance to practise more backgrounds and animation in a smaller format than big daunting OC projects that keeps frying my brain! Hoping to stream as I work on some of these wip...

Hello everyone! I am now back in Sweden and I had such a wonderful time travelling. Super excited to get back to projects and fun things!
To start off I've made the decision to stop making art bases, this is for varying reasons and it's a tough choice, especially since I know they're a big interest point for pledging. However with much thought and reviewing many factors I plan to replace this reward with more text based lore posts as well as updating existing...

Last post before June! (Reminder about paused billing)
Many days have been spent on my most anticipated mystery skulls shot so progress on other things have been a bit slower! But I’ve been wanting to improve my background works more so I’ve done a couple studies with OCS featured!
Other art pieces include a chibi commission, traditional ocs sketches, my monkey oc in the Lego monkey kid artsty...

Edit : had to reupload it as I got the lyrics wrong :;D!
I was away from my digital tools for a day so had a blast sketching instead! Editing took way too long but it was awesome After Effects practise >:) Might do more if I ever get the chance, pencil sketches just hit different

In this video I show how the pins to tween the characters are placed in after effects for the puppet-animated shots in the recent AMV!
Since I've already spent a lot of time with another walkthrough this month, this recording is a bit more casual but I hope it's still useful to watch!

Hello! As I've mentioned to the discord server already :June will be paused billing! Meaning that
- You don't have to do anything yourself, patreon will simply just not draw money for any pledge in early June.
- Payment will be drawn again in the beginning of July for that month.
- If you wish to downgrade to a lower tier after May: make sure to downgrade right before June

Hi! Been finishing up more oc art and almost all frames of the rough draft of the MAP call storyboard (will be shown as a video wip with audio in 2 days!)
I've been drawing my monkey oc a bunch (also catified him because of course I would) and I'm super proud of the icon and that I was able to render it like I usually do! These sort of bouncy icons are quite easy to make so I could def do a small showcase sometime c:

Happy to have a bigger heap of art to show you guys!
Me and my friends have all jumped on the bandwagon of making monkey OC's and my boy is all I wanna draw rn so here is his ref, chibi and animated icon wip, he gets special treatment for being so much easier to animate than cats!!
I have also started on the little Crowpaw ref specifically made for the upcoming patreon hosted MAP (with the gifs being super rough parts of the first storyboard draft!)
Other art includes an ic...

Since I missed out on making a base last month I hope 4 makes up for it :,D! I wanted to make a bit more varied body shapes and types to bring more opportunity for diverse designs! Also did 2 adopts with them from ideas I've wanted to make for a long time, theyll be up for art offers on toyhou.se in a day or two!
It's tricky making distinct shapes that still feel like blank slates for each designer to work around (hence why most of my bases are very "basic" and standard), but I hope the...

Hellooo I arrive with another bundle of art! It's tricky balancing continous posting with work I can't show but I do hope to get started on the upcoming MAP call the patron discord server voted for soon! c:
In the meantime here is finally Magpiewing's timeline (quite happy with it since age's + character consistency is such a challenge combined!). I also drew her original design I got from Doornaud before I changed it up to her present design! def want to draw her more; her floppy ear ...

Hi! I haven't forgotten all the extra content I promised to do about the AMV >:3! Here are a few of the shorter shots broken down in a bit of a different way than what I usually do!
It took a while to edit but I tried my best to show visually how the timing and inbetweening is laid out and what order it's done in :) It might move a bit fast or feel hard do understand but I do encourage to pause and try and distinguish the keys, their timing and how the evenly filled in inbetweens smo...

Last art bundle of April! The recent animatic + Mystery skulls animated has taken up a bit of my time but I finished drawing this adopted design i got of Windchime (just missing a chibi to decor his page with!)
Then we have a gift for Turrkoise where I wanted to practise making a sliightly more complex tweening animation (compared to the AMV shot) with after effects. Once I get better at it & figure out how to make them into transparent gifs I might consider simplistic tweened comm...

Got surprisingly many frames done today for the upcoming animatic (of course ended up going way more detailed/rendered than anticipated)!
I also had a blast drawing more add-on art of the recent Sickleclaw adopt design that was auctioned. Then we have a ref sheet wip + doodles of a new oc Windchime (Magpiewing's older cousin!), more art such as gifts, traditonal oc sketches and finally the finished lineart of Magpiewing for the Night Dancer meme c: Spending way too many hours cleaning ...

I came across this trend on IG and I thought It'd be a fun way to practise anthro art and have a lil fun time drawing my sonas!! Took photos of myself for refs which also was an experience to say the least
Despite social medias gettin me tired of this song it's also such a summer vibe and I love itttt

This vid is a bit longer as it's a combo of me working live but also doing a walkthrough/tutorial so the latter bit can easily be skipped as I mostly tweak details (but I do still mention lil tips and explain why I make certain edits & decisions so it can still be worhtwhile to some hence why I didn't time skip!)
I really wanted to get tutorial up first as once I showcase and do tutorial setups with more complex shots it'll hopefully be easier to understand c:

I'm still focusing mostly on the AMV but I also wish to show you guys something new and fresh in the meantime storywise so here is the most talon/jackdaw focused lore vid I'll probably ever get around to make! I really want this done before starting on the blood snow arc (where Ashkit's parents, Coalclaw & Shadowfern are lost)
It features their late mother Nightfall who died giving birth to Jackdawkit, and a heartbroken Coalclaw who has to care for their kits on his own. Talontail ...
