Still busy at work on badges, I'd say I'm just about halfway through this batch. I'm giving myself a 3 week deadline to finish the rest. Let's see if I can do it!
Here's a few more in progress but just about done badges. :)
I wanted to give you guys a sneak peek at a pin I hope to have made for Blizzcon. :)
I've already made this design as a keychain, which I hope to have available soon (*spoiler* after my patreon box peeps get theirs!) but I wanted to do something a little special to have at Blizzcon with me. ^^
I'm not officially doing pr...

Still moving along with badges! I'm doing fairly well with my little schedule so far. Tonight I'm planning to get a couple more cleaned up and put flat colors on. :)

Sketch commission for Ghost! Bit delayed, I wish I had time to toss in a 3rd one, but I'm really tempted to make an animated version with the colors shifting. :D
And a WIP of a Blizzcon badge! I'm waiting for approval so far, so its not finished, but probably 90% there. :)

A couple badge WIP for you guys! I'm still going, just a bit slower than normal.
I had a bit of a scare this week with my cat, she's lost a lot of weight recently and has suddenly stopped eating. I was really worried it mig...

A few doodles that I've kept in a psd file this month! I haven't had too much time to do anything for myself lately besides these. A couple of the doodles I actually turned into mini watercolor paintings while I was at the convention last weekend though! I may put them up on Etsy soon, I just need to take some proper photo...

I attended my first anime convention as a vendor this past weekend. Unfortunately, it didn't go great for me - I basically broke even just barely making my table cost and expenses back. I'm going to have to rethink my plan of action and try to do more work to appeal to a larg...

Let me know what you guys think. :)

In other news, I've been slowly working on badges and kickstarter rewards!
For my Kickstarter, I'm just waiting to hear back about some sticker sheets. I'm unsure at this point if I'll be able to include them, but as soon as that's...

Man, the past two weeks have been busy for me! I meant to get to these last week, but with packing Patreon mail, my kickstarter stuff, and just general life and work, I didn't get around to these until a few days ago.
These are all the thumbnails so far for Batch #2! Very quick and rough sketches to capture the pose. I'm hopin...

A peek at some of the graphics and art I've been working on! I'm almost done creating all the graphics.
I wanted to get some small postcards printed soon to send with Etsy orders and hand out at conventions. Probably just a small run of them as a test print situation. Ideally I'll use the same art and template to create ...

Starting to work on some graphics and promo materials for my Kickstarter! This is a bit of a work in progress, but ideally I want to try and include stickersheets for backers. I may also include these in the Patreon mail tier, though I don't have an eta on them just yet. :) Possibly for September!
I'm setting a date on my Kick...

Here's a mini overview of this month's file pack. :) The link, plus the Etsy discount code should be sent to everyone! Its a bit light this month, so I added in a couple low res version of badges that I've done as well.
If you did not get a message from me, please let me know! I think some people might be glitched out from the...

Changed the lineart just a bit! She was a bit too wide, so I tamed the hair down a little and made some more adjustments. :)
Also picked out the Pantone colors! I think they're a tad off on a computer screen, but Photoshop's Pantone swatches aren't 100% accurate. Skin tones are a bit tricky. If I go too dark they look of...

I decided I wasn't super happy with the mermaid design for my upcoming Kickstarter.. so I redid her (or them, I guess)!
While I may need to make some slight adjustments to the new pin, I'm much happier with it. I also finally got a physical copy of a pantone guide to play with, so color matching should be much easier now!

I've been messing around with this on and off for the past couple months, and I'm finally at a point where I just kind of want to be done with it.
I wanted to keep it a bit painterly and loose, though there are areas I'd like to go back in and fix. I sort of prematurely put a texture overlay on the entire painting and accident...

A little chibi Vulpix doodle for Jesse as part of the sketch request rewards! :)
I've been a bit absent lately due to just being busy. Moving offices took a bit out of me, and I didn't have time to draw for about 3-4 days there. Right now, I'm focusing on Blizzcon Badges, but I hope to get to a few more of these over the...

This week has been pretty busy for me. I've been spending a lot of my free time cleaning and trying to get our spare room prepped and turned into an office. Yesterday I took a trip to Ikea (which is about 2 hours away) and picked up the furniture I needed. All that's left is to clear out some old furniture and build the ne...

Just a doodle! I'd love to make this into a mini print for next month, depending on how much time I have. She's such a cutie! I've never played Splatoon (or even have a WiiU/Switch), but the character designs really make me want to try it out.

Just a quick thumbnail of something I'd love to paint traditionally soon. Really just an excuse to paint some foliage and plants AND something cute. :D I'm itching to get my watercolors out again, but I'm holding off until my office is complete.
Right now, I just don't have a great area to paint or work in. But t...

I kind of put this on hold due to the other commissions and projects I have going on right now, but I spent a tiny bit of time this morning on this again.
I intended this to be the print for this month, but since I've been so busy I may have to put it on hold for August instead. July's patreon box will feature several small pr...

I'm almost done with the current badge I'm working on, and I thought it might be a good idea to go over my process a little. :) I don't use this process for everything I do, but it is a simple way to do things. Technically, I'm still not done with this and there are a few more things I need to do - so consider this a work in pro...

Probably about 25 minutes total. Done in Sai with a few adjustments in Photoshop. :)

Ghost asked me to surprise him for his sketch commission this month - sooo I defaulted to another mini Ysera.
I managed to record about 75% of this - I goofed a bit and forgot to restart the recording after an afk break though. I'll see if I can render the video and upload it for you guys soon. :)

A little Llothien Prowler mount for @Mule_NZ as part of his sketch tier commission! Funny enough, after he requested this I finally got it in game! (Does anyone want to request me to draw Invincible too so that one will drop? ;) )
This was pretty fun to do, I feel like I should do more mounts in this kind of style. What ...

Hoping to get these made soon. :) I wanted to have a couple designs that would appeal to more people since I'll be tabling at an Anime convention in August.
I may offer you guys the ability to order them via my tictail shop, but I'll have limited quantities. I'd like to keep most of them for the conventions, but afterwards, I'...
