Fanart Poll

Your suggestions from the last round were fantastic and as always--incredibly specific??? 😂 I pared things down a bit based on where my comfort drawing mind is at right now.

Lazy Monday Gif Animation

I think another title for this might be "Lo-Fi Beats to Masturbate To" because it really feels like the erotic equivalent of one of those youtube video images to me. All that's missing is a sleeping cat and for her to be wearing headphones.

Clearly coziness is something that's on my mind a lot lately!'

Hope you're having a good start to your week, everyone!

Little Drawings

Happy Saturday!

 I think I always struggle when I start to take things too seriously, so you'll probably see things get a little bit looser and maybe sillier this month. But for now I'll keep on with this autumnal palette!

 Poll for fanart will go up soon as well!

Miscellaneous drawings

I really like this warm, ochre-y color for drawing on top of and I have added some new PS brushes to my library to  draw with for the sake of variety. I like  the roundness of this first one. It reminds me a bit of drawing with a felt tip pen with uniform width that. Really appeals to me. 

The second is a bit more of a scratchy traditional ink pen type vibe, which I also li...

October Dropbox Rewards

Gold Patrons!!! 💛 Thank you for your support in this spooky season! Attached is the link for the dropbox rewards! I think I might have forgotten to share some of these sketches, as usual 😬 so there might be some new drawings in the folder. Also there's a full timelapse of the Trevor x Sypha painting!

Since I don't have a new comic I'll be leaving the jpegs of Ivy& Pine in there ...

October Report

Thank you all for your support during this kinda soul-searchy month. It's interesting getting away from a regular comic because I'm so used to having a consistent task to focus on. I think that's creatively and productively when I'm at my best--when I have a list of things to do and then I can have some other little distractions on the side to pursue. So for November I think I'm going to spend ...

Trevor X Sypha

Happy Halloween everybody! 🎃
I didn't expect to, but I ended up pushing this into a bit more of a painterly space. There was a little bit of struggling along the way, not gonna lie. Sometimes CSP is juuust different enough from PS that my painter mind still fights with it whenever I try to make it work. As a result kept flipping back and forth between making this a colored drawing or a pa...

Trevor X Sypha WIP

There's this brush I downloaded for CSP called "Flashito" which has this fantastic kinda chiselly very direct quality to the brush. It's also pretty flexible for painting when adjusting the blending, although truthfully I haven't messed around with it much! I just like it for drawing, it makes these really fun shapes!

Here's a link if you want to try it out for yourself!

Thursday Witches

Thank you for being so patient about new stuff this month, everyone. I feel like I'm getting over a huge hurdle and things are coming a little bit easier.

I have no love of burnout  and I try not to be too self critical about my work because I don't think it actually improves it that much, just makes me feel discouraged from making more, which I know is the fastest way to improve the...

Sunday Witches

Don't normally have to deal with too much burnout since I try to keep an even amount of work on a plate but it seems like September/October got the better of me. My apologies that there hasn't been much content this month. But here's a sketchy witch and a work in progress witch :)

My usually recipe for getting out of art block and burnout is to reduce the complexity of what I'm trying to ...

Misc Castlevania and Bayonetta Sketches

Been a frustrating, kinda stuck month overall. I think I'll have more to share this week and next, but I've been frustrated with overall progress. I think the past couple of months have taken a toll more than I realized.
In any event. More to come~

October Fanart Suggestions

I'm still planning to do a Castlevania fanart since that was the next most highest voted character of the last poll but I want to put out a request for more characters!

I've had some freelance work that's been really sapping my energy for the past two months and it's kinda hit a threshold where I know I'm not going to be able to dive back into another big project right away so I think I'm...

Bayonetta

I really struggled tremendously with Bayonetta here-- her costumes are all so complex so I did myself a favor and just focused on her hair :) Hope you enjoy! I've been kinda all over the place stylistically lately I feel like. 

Maybe October is just going to be about doing fanart and drawing witchy characters. I think next might have to be the Castlevania fanart from the last poll. :...

Bayonetta sketches

There hasn't been a whole lot of time so far this week for much else besides sketches, so I'm hoping that changes on the weekend. I think Bayonetta's proportions are a total marvel so it's kind of fun just to draw her.

It's interesting also to get inside the mind of the designer too, when I design characters they invariably end up pretty simple so the fact that when someone else puts pen ...

September Report

Thank you all for the patience in waiting for this update! I wanted to make sure the PDF version of Ivy & Pine could be in the dropbox rewards and it always takes longer than I expect.
Here's the recap for this month: 

I caught some serious autumn vibes after going on a short camping trip and it's really fueled my need to draw trees losing their leaves.

Thank you all for your support and patience in the past month! I included two versions of the PDF for your viewing pleasure, a normal resolution version and reduced version that's around 10MB.

Also, be sure to check out some of the timelapse videos. The 210929_Ivy&PineCover.mp4 shows the complete illustration process for the cover, all the way from struggling with sketches to struggli...

Ivy & Pine Cover

Oh boy! Completion! It's almost here! Sweet project completion release! 😭

Knowing me I will be finicky and make at least 3 more changes, but this ding dong dang thing is finally sooo close to finish! <3 Thanks for making this possible, y'all!

Sunset Climber

I walk down the street and see Halloween decorations and it makes me think of autumn evenings, oak leaves underfoot, the smell of someone's backyard fire in the air. All this and it's not even October yet-- I'm a cripplingly sentimental person and I love this time of year so I decided to draw something self indulgent today. 

I'm hoping to finish the cover for Ivy & Pine tomorrow!...

Ivy & Pine cover art WIP and other sketches.

Happy Sunday! Hope you all are doing well! I'm working hard to get the cover art finished for Ivy & Pine--getting close! I'm working on this entirely in CSP so I have a timelapse of it when I'm done. It's a little different than my photoshop process but I'm getting used to it!

But I wanted to also share some little sketches made over the past week!

Leah's Work in Progress (Stardew Valley)

I really have no shortage of ideas for pinups of Leah, just because I think the process of people that work in physical media can be so romantic and pretty.

Happy Saturday!

Ivy & Pine Cover Sketches

It's been a hell of week folks, I'm exhausted from my sfw freelance stuff, but I did get to take some time to explore some Ivy & Pine covers. I'm going to try to timelapse the whole cover art process this time. So this is just the sketching timelapse. You can see me try things, abandon them quickly, and generally struggle. 

That's just the process with these but I feel pretty goo...

Happy Friday Velma!

Just a fast little sketch. I wanted to draw a butt. 

Winton. I'm including the timelapse for you all because it's a thing I planned on sharing on twitter as well since it was so quick!

Have a  great weekend everyone! 🧡
