Programming Note

Hello! 

Just wanted to update you on a few things. These last months I've been working quite a bit to save up money. While a lot of it is fun, interesting art stuff, I am not able to share most of it, due to it being under NDA. I should be able to share all that with you some time after September! Sorry for the slow art updating.

On a related, exciting note, I've recently joined the art team over at Moderneo, a neopets fansite. I've been working on a few t...

Base Idea (Scrapped?)

Was toying around making a gummy bear base, but I'm now seeing the results look a little off. Considering making the finals like the second set of example here (sort of a gummy "flavor"), though I'm still not sure if the shading effort needed to make them look gummy-like is worth it...

Dorohedoro Illustration WIP

been chipping away at this one for two months or so. Pencils ready! Can't wait to color this one, feels so good to finally work on something big again that's not a commission 🐊

The only thing missing is the electric prong I think! 

Included also: references, thumbnails.

Fat Anthro Base

For a while I've been lacking on fat character bases. Made this quick one this week, will work on more poses and fat body types next. I'll start including them in all chibi bases too, as an option. Thank you for your patience!

Comes with a few muzzle/paw options. Just for front refs and adopts I guess, though if you wanna make YCHs you can, too! 

Rules:   
✅ Link back to the patreon or ko-fi when using.

Decora Icon Palette Pack

Here's the color palettes I've been using for my recent icon commissions! I made a number sorting version, plus plain versions so you can quickly replace colors in photoshop or clip studio paint. Feel free to use these for whatever, except reposting 🌈💖

Possible Discord Features

Hiyo!

I've been trying to come up with ideas to improve the user interaction here, especially since this platform can be quite complicated to navigate, and I've decided I'll follow through with the idea sent by you a while ago and open a discord server!

I want to have channels for sharing art, advertising openings for sales, and general art discussion, but aside from that: What features would you like us to have there? Please comment with any i...

Decided to do something special this month! Here's a pack with decorative frames, to use in any illustration you'd like. Add them to icons, crop them and sprinkle them in the background for something else, or combine them as you please 🌈

My apologies to Vox, couldn't work your design into this base in particular, so I made them a cupcake instead 🧁 (hopefully that's ok!)

I'm obsessed with that dog.

Monthly Character Design Progress

been chipping away at this one! still undecided on colors (here first picture is the intended sepia tone, in the vein of old carousels, while the second is the flat color, no tinting version). What do you think?

Ofelia is a 50-year-old white clydesdale horse. A prominent athelete in her younger years, she has lately come back to her old passion: pole dancing. Her strenght has proved quite useful, as has her confident stage presence. You can often find her participati...

FINISHED IT!! making ads at all feels kinda icky but at least i think it looks real pretty ;w; also I saved over the video file and lost it BUT I'll be making a halftone background tutorial to make up for it

THANK YOU ALL for your support. really. 

Chubby Star Pattern

Been using this one quite a lot!  

What does this include?

⭐A .PAT file for photoshop, containing five different style patterns, so you can install it and use them through the photoshop pattern system. All patterns have no background.
⭐A set of five large .PSD canvases with the pattern already on, so you can just copy them and slap them onto your project, in either PS or CSP (4000x4000px, 300dpi)

How do you install Photoshop patterns?

October Rewards Delay

Hey guys.

I try not to talk about my personal life online at all, but I think it might be necessary right now. I've had a rather major veterinary emergency, so last month's rewards will be delayed. My cat's had a now twice recurring infection post-surgery, so I'm going to try and spend at least this whole week with her at home, since I'm on my own and there's no one else to take care of her. I really do not want her to get sick again. I hope you understand.
