5th character concept

Two for one. Just a few more to go!

4th character concept

More art for the wrestling project!

New feature! Check out the Patreon app

Another text post because Patreon just released Lens for everyone!

Lens is Patreon's equivalent of instagram stories - snaps that disappear after 24 hours. They're only available in the Patreon mobile app, and you get a notification every time I post one!

I will be using Lens to show you guys what I'm working on. Right n...

[Video] Comfort

Timelapse of a livestream session!

Catch me on twitch.tv/muepin, I'm trying to stream a bit more regularly.

[Finished] Comfort - grayscale ver.

Alternative version - how I painted it originally. I'm posting both because I think each one gives off a different vibe.

[Finished] Comfort - color ver.

Another new postcard print. Went experimental again. This was streamed live on twitch, so expect a timelapse video soon. :>

[Finished] Shirt series

New postcards!

[Finished] Steven and Vicky

Last minute priiiints. Also, I guess a final design for Victoria, finally?? 

I'm thinking she dyes her hair often so that's bound to change.

I should work more with green. Green is good shit.

[Finished] Crybaby

I'm straight up in love with Devilman Crybaby, what a great show.

Watched it twice and I pretty much never watch anything twice (and in the same week no less)

It's a sticker design, btw!

[WIP] Frantic - Lines

Going hard these days. Allowed myself to work a bit more on this because my cover WIP was approved <3

[WIP] Anthology cover

As mentioned previously, I was commissioned to design a book cover for a "romantasy" anthology. Deadline for this is at the end of the month.

Lines are almost done - missing a LOT of roses, pillows, and some body hair for that beefy werewolf dude. :>

[Finished] Inner Demons

I was looking at Demon Hunter album covers and felt like drawing some asymmetrical horns

Also, tested some new inking brushes

[WIP] Frantic

I've been meaning to draw a real stereotypical "band photo" for a long time now!

Gonna adjust their facial expressions a bit in the next step to make them less bland, I think.

Might have to put this and everything else on the back burner for a bit, because I got commissioned to draw a book cover yesterday!! These things ...

[Finished] Surprise

Imagine Mitch originally saying that he won't make it home for Valentine's Day, but then he ends up texting Sam that he's coming home early.

And he brings flowers, because of course he does.

(His bag is probably full of chocolates. let's be real)

[WIP] Surprise

The con prep continues \o/ All sketched and lined today. Groove is slowly coming back~

[Finished] Cozy

Good way to start a new year <3 

A very cozy WIP

I've come to realize that time until EpicCon is running out... Need to focus on new merch for a little bit.

Cozy winter vacation, let's see if I can paint a snowy background in there :3

[Announcement post] Happy Holidays!

It's been quite the year. Once again I would like to thank you all for the continuous support and in the same breath, apologize for the lack of content.

So of course my resolution for the new year is to be more active. For that purpose I have re-structured my Discord server and added a few channels to encourage activity. I hav...

November reward for Mareike! ALSO FEES CHANGE REVERTED

Mareike wanted me to sketch a character (the protag?) of Check, Please!, a webcomic.

He looks mighty different in my style, haha...

ALSO GUYS, Patreon isn't rolling out the change to fees, so that's good! Meaning patrons won't have to cover the processing fees and I'll keep paying those. Nice. Would...

Regarding that patreon update

Hey peeps, I'm not sure if the email went out to everyone yet. Patreon is planning on passing on processing fees to patrons. Previously, the creator was responsible for paying these. 

So instead of me paying ~5% (or whatever) once, patrons will pay 2.9% + 35 cents PER PLEDGE. This adds up for people who give $1 to 10 crea...

Reward sketch for Cade

<3 the boys

Sam doodle/WIP

Experimenting with shading, not sure if I'll finish this one though!

Prompto for Dani

Sketch reward with a bit of color. Been using the pen tool in clip to color lately - just a hard brush that doesn't vary in size with the intensity linked to pen pressure. Pretty much like a standard photoshop brush... so it's back to basics right now :>

Keru Keru

Next WIP for the wrestling card game. This character is loosely based on Hideo Itami and Shinsuke Nakamura.

Patreon Reward for Mareike

A colored one because I'm so late. </3 Sorry.

Oh hey, I have the early access feature now. Neat! Think I'll make use of that soon. 

And in other news, I have started hormone replacement therapy. Things have been slow because I had a bunch of appointments. I'm already feeling better despite only being on T for two...

Sketch Reward for Dani (October)

Drew a couple of OC nerds for Dani!

Wrestling concepts

Done with these two. I was planning to draw more but then I decided to wait for some feedback first.

Fun exercise though. This is how I learn that wrestlers are totally within my comfort zone...

[WIP] El Aguila

Another one of them wrestlers!! 

And... I'll probably change the colors since I just googled the name and found out it means eagle...? He looks like a parrot right now hahaha. Might adjust the mask too, actually.

This one is based on Rey Mysterio, Kalisto and Fenix.

[WIP] Lionheart

I'm trying to land an art gig which involves wrestling, aka a dream job. And I'm doing sample art because I love wrestling so much, even if it might come and bite me in the ass later. I do hope I get the job though. x)

Colors ain't final and I'm gonna two more of these, showcasing different body types / designs. First one is p...
