✏️ Fleur Character Page WIP

God the amount of stylistic freedom I’ve had with this comm so far has been the most refreshing thing, Im having so much fun working on this and the feeling of pressure and expectation to keep things consistent not being there during this whole comm so far has been. Amazing. AAA! I’m having so much fun. Gonna work on cleaning up the sketches, then gonna get right onto the linework! Hopefully I’ll have a good chunk of the colours done by the end of the day 

✏️ Icon Doodlies

And a couple icon doodles from yesterday! First is Blake ofc, and second is Soot, my new raccoon fursona! I’m not toooo pleased with the Soot one looking at it now with fresh eyes, but I love how Blake’s looks

💖💜💙 Pride!

Wanted to do a little redraw tonight, SO as I was scrolling thru my older pieces I spotted this one of Blake from 2018 and I thought that it would be the perfect one to do a quick redraw of! 5 year difference baby damn. 

💕 Honey Pie | COMM

Blake actually working on her Commission queue backlog? NO WAY. INSANE. CRAZY!!
Finally got this Commission all finished for my beloved MRCY-Violet!!! I’ve been so excited to actually get a proper start on this comm, I just really really struggled to come up w A pose. Characters interacting with pets, stuffed animals, or other characters is always something I struggle with immensely, but I’m glad I stuck it out and I love how it came out!!
I also, again, streamed the proces...

💞 Bestie

Little Doodly that turned into smth BIGGER!! I wanted to draw something for my best friend to say a big thank you to her for everything she does for me. I spent a week at her house last month and it was SO incredibly healing, i cant thank her enough for being there for me lately and for just being the most wonderful person in my life. So grateful to have known her for 13 years. 

I worked on this while streaming in our discord server tonight and it was so much fun omg, thank you aga...

✏️ Max Reference Sheet

It’s done! Yeehaw! honestly I have A love hate relationship w/ how this came out, I mostly don’t like hope her face and head looks on the main fullbody but oh well. She has an actual ref now which is the most important thing! She needed one for a while, so I’m glad it’s all done and it’ll do the job for the foreseeable future for sure. 

✏️ Max Ref WIP

Treating myself to finally working on a Ref sheet for Max!! All my other ocs that are in desperate need of refs are giving me side eyes rn… BUT. It’s coming along

very chaotic layout for this one, I wanted to just. Do whatever with it and not worry too much about Lay-out or whatever. Gonna go eat some dinner and I might come back to start the linework later, either way I’ll be chipping away at this over the weekend. Excited to give my girl a proper ref finally.

Her pelt view...

🎠 More Prancing Ponies!

The last few of these ychs!

✏️ Number 3!

Little Doodly that I ended up finishing up for myself because I loved the sketch, And thankfully I like it just as much finished! I’m getting my third tattoo next Thursday, and I’m super excited about it. It’s small and simple, but I’ve wanted it since I was 16, and it’s as originally going to be my first one I ever got until plans change. So, yeah, wanted to doodle something for it. Very excited. 

Second image is also a little meme draw over of my new fursona. What bette...

🎠 | Prancing Pony YCH’s

I was trying to avoid taking on more comms before I finish my current backlog, but I was running on broke so I opened some Pony YCH slots just to help pay some stuff that comes out at the end of the month. First two are mine, and rest Are comms - only 4 More to do and then it’s back to regular queue work

🦝 | Raccoon fursona

Attempt number 3 I think of making a raccoon fursona that sticks. Lets see what happens.

I wasn’t gonna make another one as I lost connection with my previous two hard, but I was speaking to my parents who dropped the bombshell that they just both see me as a raccoon and think if I was any animal I’d be a raccoon, and I thought it was really sweet, so here I am trying out a raccoon fursona again.

I like her deisgn and palette a lot, I knew I wanted more of a muted palette with...

✏️ Sketch Dump

Sketches Ive accumulated over the last month or so 

⚜️ Fleur De Lis Reference COMM

PHEW. Finally got this ref all finished after about 3 solid days of work on it! I’ve been super tired all day today, feeling super sluggish with a lot of brain fog, but I pushed through determined to get this finished, and finish it I did!

tracked time is 16 hours and 13 minutes for this thing, and I enjoyed every single second. I usually Save reference sheets till the very end of my queue since they’re so time consuming, but Im still feeling kinda burnt out and I enjoy doing refere...

✏️ Snowangel Ref WIP 2

Another wip shot of this! Got the sketch all finished and approved, as well as made a start on the linework. Will be continuing on with this tomorrow, now the sketching is all done it’ll be very swift smooth sailing. Would like to stream some of the progress over in our discord server as well if I can

✏️ Snowangel ref WIP

work continued today!! Wanted to start on this ref comm for Snowangel because I’m very excited about it, and it feels different to what I’ve been drawing as of late so I thought it would be a breath of fresh air, and thankfully it is. I still have to add accessories, and arrange the layout, but the main things are sketched and waiting approval! Might tweak the bust tomorrow when I look at it with fresh eyes though.

💙 Alex Wiggle!

Blake actually finishing commissions? NO WAY that’s so crazy 

YES…It is true. I am working on my queue again finally!! I know I’ve thanked everyone for their patience endless times, but seriously, thank you so much to my current commissioners for their patience with me regarding how long it’s taking me to complete the work. The last month I’ve spent healing has been so so needed, and I’m hoping I can ease back into usual work routine now.

With that being ...

✏️ February’s reward form

This months reward form is up! It will remain open for 5 days, closing on February 25th at 9AM UK time. Be sure to link the unwatermarked version of your characters refs! Im unable to work off of heavily watermarked images. There are 4 weeks in February, so I will be picking 4 characters to draw from this form after the 25th 💖

✏️ Rawr

Blake Doodly from last night. I liked the sketch for this a lot more but oh well. Doodles are good for the soul

💝 Galentines

While I was in London this last week I decided to do some freebies for my friends to help kill time in the evenings. Nothing more to say on these, just little valentines esque doodle requests for my friends!!

✏️ rewards #142, #143, #144, #145 + #146

Phew, my January reward backlog is finally cleared! I wanna say a huge huge thank you to everybody for their patience. I’ll get the February reward form up tomorrow!

I decided to go with a YCH type style for the January rewards due to how behind I was, and after asking patreons in the discord who agreed it was a good idea, I went for it! I do like how these came out, and I hope you guys all do too.
Ive been spending time with my friends over the last couple of weeks, and it has be...

✏️ Small Art Dump

back again with a teeny little art dump for you all, again mostly with base fills.

I was saying with my best friend at her home this last week, and the time away with her has been so incredibly healing and needed. As such I haven’t gotten much art done besides these pieces here, but I’m also feeling a lot more myself, more motivated and I feel my drive for art slowly coming back. I’m getting back to work starting today, even if progress is still slow I’m going to be tackling my ...

🍂 Em! SPEEDPAINT

I also still like this icon Comm for Peaceskyy. Had a lot of fun working on this. 

🌩️ Mardy Bum | SPEEDPAINT

+ all of the doodles I did on the same canvas before I decided to finish this specific sketch up. 

👃 Septum! SPEEDPAINT

Still like this one a lot. I thought sharing the speedpaint would be fun. 

✏️ Life Update. Regarding comms, Comm openings, etc.

Hello friends. I wanted to make this post to update everyone on what’s going on with me, and the state of the Patreon as a whole so people are not left in the dark. Forgive me if this is not worded well, I’m scatterbrained and I’m just throwing this down without much prior planning or thought.

 Regular furry art is still incredibly difficult right now and I’m horribly unhappy with my stuff. Drawing feels loke walking through thick deep mud. Commissions will not be opening t...

✏️ Miscellaneous dump

Just. A small dump of things because I literally don’t have anything else to post right now. Most of them are manips and base fills, with two original pieces, neither of which I even like. Featuring a couple of new ocs.

🍕 Girls Night | COLLAB

Hello friends, happy February!

Today has been very difficult for me, so I decided to go back to this collaboration piece with the wonderful MRCY-Violet, who provided the sketch for this. I’d had the linework done for a while, and because of how much I’m struggling to draw and do anything creative right now, I thought just zoning out and working on the colouring and rendering would be nice, and thankfully it was. I really enjoyed finishing up MRCY’s sketch, and seeing Ramona and Ma...

✏️ OC Wiggles

I haven’t drawn anything properly in a week or so, and art is still very hard for me but I want to ease myself back into drawing. I figured making new icons for some of my ocs that are in need of ones was a good place to start. I just wanted to have fun and not really worry about  pressure or having to finish anything, but I had fun with these.
Stuff will still be slow from me, but I’m trying my best to just survive and get on track. I endlessly appreciate everyone’s support an...
