End of march file dump

Whoo whoo I did stuff. All commissions,,, pretty stoked to be drawing my favorite type of fish 

Anyway stay safe out there y'all 

Recent works+commission info

March has been a slow month. All commission work. And a lot of waiting for animal crossing .. patreon rewards are slowly being made, thank you for your patience this month ;a; 

and if anyone is interested, i'm back open for commissions. this covid 19 thing has my entire country on quarantine lockdown for the next 4-6 weeks, so the government says. no going outside unless it's an emergency or to go to the supermarket. not like my lifestyle will change but economy bad 

i'm...

Pixel + aseprite technical tips

Big post of pixel tips, not necessarily about drawing but on exporting and posting, using aseprite, etc. These are the things I get asked about the most. If there's a topic not covered here that'd you like to see, please DM me/comment and I'll add it to the post 

Most of this uses aseprite but a lot of it can be done in any art program (except ms paint) 

• Changing canvas size 

(In aseprite) Sprite > Canvas size. Pretty straight f...

update 

The Hatchery: Round 4 Cycle 1

Eggs eggs eggs. The hatchery has been around almost a year now. Wild. 

Reminder of how this works: one egg per person, DM me to buy an egg. You have one week to buy an egg before it goes back on sale. When an egg is bought a new egg is added. After 1 month the egg will hatch. After 2 months the egg will be fully grown. Any eggs not sold at the end can be purchased by anyone.

Pins, baby!

So! I have made an order of 100 pins when I meant to only order one haha but it's ok, it works out to be cheaper for me this way. I'll be sent a sample of the pin first to work out any faults or flaws before the 100 are made. The sample should be delivered to me within 20 days to 1 month. 

Because my country is an absolute bitch with shipping costs, here's where I have a dilemma- finding a sales price that
a) covers shipping
b) covers manufacturing
c) has a profit

File dump

Haven't drawn much this month because I actually haven't been home that much .w. 

about 90% commissions 

The Hatchery: Round 3 Cycle 3

They've hatched :> Reminder that you can purchase a design at any time if you haven't bought one already from this round. When the next round starts, any designs unsold from any round can be bought by anyone. 

A lot of designs in this round got edits to the egg and second stage designs ;w; I mighttttt have rushed them before 

Changes to the next round: mostly layout related. I'll make changes to the logo so it's easier to navigate posts and update the layout spacing. ...

Lunar new year rat process

Sorry it's so dark,,,, idk what happened,,, i don't understand premier,,,

Update to tiers

Added a $5 tier which grants access to how-its-made posts, walk-throughs, progress recordings/gifs, that kind of stuff. All posts prior this are still available for all tiers. No other content has changed for other tiers. Rad Cat tier will also have access to how-its-made content 

I need to think of new tier art ... 

Fishing? Fishing

From 3am to 6am I wrote a game document about fishing- 

the concept is player is stuck on an island because I said so. On this island is the guardian deity, who needs to be fed fish to keep the island alive. Players can forage, fish and cook to feed the deity and keep the island alive. Feeding the guardian keeps it happy and will unlock cool rewards for better items for fishing 

Redraws

Some redraws of pixel daily pieces. i'm gonna keep making more 

Build-a-magic-girl process

i figured out the magic ratio to stop twitter cropping 

Witch (WIP)

ornate armour and cute outfits is IN and will stay in always 

Clown Worm (2020-2020)

I think I've drawn Goodra every year since it's reveal. Maybe every 1.5 years 

I'm in art block hell :> nothing feels right or satisfying to draw and I'm unhappy with every single pixel. It'll pass but like. who knows when. not me. Super casual reminder I also have ADD and it turns my brain into mush where I can't think for weeks at a time I think that time is now idk this is just how life is for me

Christmas card art

People are getting their cards so it's time to post the art! If you didn't get yours yet, pretend you didn't see this, pretend it's a surprise 

In retrospect the bear should've been facing the other direction but whatever lol it's a bear that likes the challenge

Masses of things I forgot I made in 2019

Clearing out my art folder is a wild time I don't actually remember making most of these. Sorry if I already posted a file here, y'all should know by now I don't remember anything if it's not directly in front of me. Like babies and object permanence 

I also got all the reward tiers done! Yeahh!! If I owe you a reward tier or you requested one and it never got done, please send the request to me again

Christmas cards SENT

Tho I guess they're more like new years cards now haha 

Sorry they took so long ;a; 

Some of them ... might be a bit burnt .. I did accidentally set some of them on fire trying to make wax seals but it's ok it's barely any damage. The wax seals look awesome 

Fish (WIP)

making myself a new twitter header bc while i love my muscular cats, they do make people think i'll draw furries, which is a fate i guess i deserve, but don't want

Sharks, birds and other misc things

sharks. end comment 

unbelievable it's taken me this long to draw a bird mount. no, i don't have other ocs than the blue girl (i do but will i draw them? no) 

far right is ryza from atelier ryza. can't say it ranks on my list of fav atelier games but it's a solid entry to the series, every character was very likeable, would recommend. would recommend the atelier game series in general (my favs are sophie and totori! i hope someone makes a sophie figurine...)
