Hey there ya'll! These are some sketches I did prior to the illustration this month to explore the look of it. My favorite parts of these are how loose they are, it's something I really want in all of my work since it feels like it has a lot more life.
Here's the link for the process as well: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/694frmzvhk1nqmu/AAC0C8L1qZaw9VvnMrNS_PAFa?dl=0

Hey ya'll! This is the low-res for this month's illustration, I'll have the high-res and process up as soon as my upload behaves. Let me know what ya'll think of this new look!

Here it is, sliding in at the last second! I have had an absolute time this month and I look forward to talking about it in the next article. Everything from massive, extended art block to relearning what color is, it should be an exciting piece. I will get the high res of this up soon ya'll, thanks so much for your continued support into the new year, it means the absolute world to me!

Some sketches for a personal character, still trying to figure out some design stuff.

Hey ya'll!
The process stuff is uploaded over here: https://bit.ly/2NybWb8
I've started using Google Drive to upload to since Dropbox has not been working for me.
The topic I wanted to discuss this month is this issue of experimentation vs consistency in art. I used to think this was an easy problem, experimentation led to improvement so experimentation was the most important thing to do even if it s...

I have a bonus piece here for ya'll this month! A character I design based on the astrology symbol Scorpio! This one was a lot of fun, even though I love designing characters I don't do it near often enough. I'll be including the high resolution file for this and a small process in the Dropbox this month. As soon as everything is ready I'll make another post here. Thank ya'll so much for your continued support!

Hey ya'll!
Here's the Patreon piece for this month, this time of my character Gwendolyn! She's a ghost hunter and traps ghosts in her eye using her camera. As always, I'll have the process up as soon as it's ready, but this month, since the technique here should be pretty familiar to anyone that's seen my other processes, I'm going to be discussing consistency vs. experimentation when it comes to personal and professional art.
2019-10-28 17:59:07 +0000 UTC View PostHey ya'll, I just updated my goals and tiers!
It's still a bit place holder, but I now offer a sketch tier reward! Anyone signed up to this new tier will get a sketch from me once a month. I do not offer this anywhere else, so if you're interested be sure to grab it since there's limited slots.
I'll be starting work on the Patreon piece for this month today as well, so expect that soon!

This month I placed the information in a separate PDF so I could say more and not have the process images covered up. Be sure to check it out as well!
On another note, is there anything else ya'll would like to see me do for the...

Hey ya'll!
I got a fresh illustration for this month, right out of the oven. I rarely do fanart but I just absolutely loved the Steven Universe movie and really wanted to draw Spinel! If you haven't seen it you should definitely give it a watch. I will have the process and high-resolution image up as soon as I get them finished, thanks so much for ya'll's continue support!

Hey ya'll! SPINEL!
I wanted to try showing ya'll some of the progress shots as I complete them this month. This is the rough sketch, I'm always just focused on composition, depth and story telling here while keeping in mind where my values will end up going. I like to stay super loose with these and it can take me several failed attempts before coming up with something I like. This is actually the fifth version of the image, and even after deciding on this one I had to make a lot of cha...

Thanks so, so much for the continued support. It helps me so much to be able to focus on these non-commission pieces every month and I couldn't do it without ya'll!

This is an illustration I'm currently working on for the Splash! zine! Don't think it's complete yet but though ya'll might like an early peek. It's been wild working on this one so far, a lot of going way out of my comfort zone and then trying to reign stuff back in so it stays readable. I'll post the final once it's complete!

New one for ya'll! This one was super fun, employing a new technique for color selection that I've been trying. I'll be talking about it in the process this month, it's a little complicated and I'm still trying to figure out the whole thing but I definitely want to share what I have with ya'll so far! I will be getting that up either within the week or at the latest early next week.
Thank ya'll so much for the continued support! I've got a little bonus I'll be posting after this one, so...

Let me know what ya'll think! Feedback for these would be great since I'm still not 100% sure what people want to know. Thanks ya'll so much for your continued support!

New piece for this month! I learned a whole lot with this one. I'll be uploading the step-by-step and high-res as soon as they are ready, got quite a bit to say about it. Let me know what you all think!
Thanks so much for the continued support ya'll!

Hey ya'll!
I've got a new piece for you this month! I'll also be trying out a step-by-step process thing for ya'll this month, where I walk you through each step of the process I use for my work. As soon as I've got it written up and ready I'll be posting here, so if you're interested be sure to look out for that! Thank ya'll all so much for the continue support on this stuff
A new personal piece! This piece was made with ya'll's support, so thank ya'll so much! I'll have more for you soon.

Here's a work in progress of my most recent personal piece. Hopefully getting back to it this week.

One of my oldest and favorite characters, I've changed the design quite a bit over the years but decided to go back to something closer to the original for this!

Something new! Been trying to figure out a way to stay more consistent with my values, so I'm sort of trying to really work on greyscale to color. It's not exactly how I want it to look right now but I'm gonna keep trying stuff out.

Some experiments with landscapes! I really like how these turned out, gonna do some more soon.
2019-04-04 18:35:21 +0000 UTC View Post
This is a piece I've been working on for a little bit! I had a lot of fun with it and learned quite a bit. I really love the pearls (and Steven Universe in general) and have been wanting to paint them since they first introduced yellow. I'm working on more stuff, maybe a landscape here soon? If ya'll have any requests or ideas I'm always looking for them so let me know! Can't guarantee I'll work on what you suggest but I'm pretty much open to anything on my Patreon.
Thanks so, so ...

This was done in the stream today! I've been studying design lately so I thought I'd try some of it out.
