Done - [ FFXIV Personal Art ]

A quick sketch to sum up the trajectory of my August.

As usual, the update for the month will be inbound later this week - along with all the relevant announcements regarding mentorship, art challenges and more, so keep your eyes peeled on that or the Discord or both. <3

Update // Halt on UK/US mailing

Hi all - I've just found out that due to an Executive Order from the US government, the UK has temporarily suspended mail services between the UK and the US.

While it seems likely that they will resume under a new system according to information on the Royal Mail website, this will involve additional ...

Will you look at that, she still knows how to do lineart!

I didn't know how much I missed doing lineart, or drawing Emet for that matter, until I snuck a few hours into my NDA work to finish this couple's reward. Might have to do digging in my list for a few more lineart pieces I can knock out in a few hours an...

Elfriede - [ Dark Souls Reward ]

Trying my hand at chiaroscuro paintings so that one day I may become a royal painter in a future Renaissance.

This is a Fanart Mystery box, featuring Sister Friede - or Elfriede - of Dark Souls 3 reknown. I was going for a mix of realism and painterly here and while I'm not sure I got it quite right (as this st...

Update // Moment of Zen

Tidings, one and all. This month’s update comes slightly tardy courtesy of the half-week I took off to spend time with my siblings who, in full Hallmark movie fashion, I hadn’t been with in 35 years.

It was an all-around wholesome visit that I never thought I’d get to experience - just like I never thought I’d g...

Reboot - [ Timelapse ]

It's rare that I manage to get the full timelapse of my work - as I usually bounce between Procreate and Photoshop (which doesn't record progress) - but as I committed to just letting this piece happen, as quickly and straightforward as possible, I was able to capture the whole process from start to finish.

I'm hoping (...

Reboot - [ 2013/2025 ]

A few days ago I found this old WIP in the vault, which I remember sending DAYS on at the time. Having been feeling a little art-blocky recently, I decided to challenge myself to do a whole repaint over the old image in one sitting.

In total it took about 3-4 hours and the biggest hurdle was just letting it go once i...

Oh, to have your fate held gently by the chin...

Despite the lineart coming in quite easily, the process to finish this piece had me over a barrel and yearning for the sweet mercy of a lobotomy.

Initially I ha...

Surrender - [ FFXIV WIP ]

It's been a while since I uploaded a WIP as I normally like to pretend I am just so magical art just manifests in its final form at the press of a button. That said, I almost literally left my wrist on the tablet with the hair and scales for this one and as I am planning to render it in my usual dark, moody tones I felt like ...

Beautiful Decay - [ Book art ]

With gracious permission from the author I am so pleased to show you all a private preview of the book cover I worked on for much of June.

This is the first of 6 covers redesigns for the series Fallen Gods, a lesbian fantasy-horror series by SD Simper, with ...

Update // Rolling in the Heat

Welcome all to the update in which, as per tradition, I remind you that we’re past the halfway point of the year so those of you who’ve somehow resisted evaporating in the recent heat waves can now pick a side: those who rejoice at the prospect of not marinating in their own bodily fluids and those who are already mournin...

Ley - [ FFXIV Reward ]

When you spend forever drawing hair just to go ahead and darken it into oblivion... ·_ ·

Quite pleased with how this one turned out! I think it's gonna make a banger of a print if I do say so myself.

This reward was an "Mystery Box", purchased with points through my patreon reward portal 2025-06-13 11:07:35 +0000 UTC View Post

Update // Karmic patterns

There are certain patterns that emerge when you do something frequently enough - like casually checking social media for a laugh and walking away with three new existential crises or telling yourself you’re absolutely getting things done today, only to “rest your eyes for a moment” and waking up in a different season. 2025-06-05 21:57:16 +0000 UTC View Post

Aazad - [ Commission ]

"I'm gonna go for simpler pieces" she said.

After the convention (and inevitable round of post-con Covid I got dealt with) I'm back on track with work, starting with this piece which - I'll admit - came together without me fully knowing what I was doing most of the time.

Arguably one of the most challeng...

Sylus - [ LAdS ]

Now that the convention is over and I can finally stop hearing the whirring death rattle of my printer, I present you with my latest hyperfixation from a game I'll never admit I play.

I mean... white hair, black/red/white color scheme... it's like he was waiting for me to draw him.

As always, your thoughts are lov...

Update // May is for Mayhem

You see those lovely trees and flowers growing and thriving outside? Please note that this is diametrically opposed to what’s happening to my hair as I prepare for my first convention in well over a year.

I could go into details here, but as this is a visually-oriented Patreon, let me explain it with a single image: 2025-05-05 12:13:03 +0000 UTC View Post

Jill Warrick - [ FFXVI ]

Recently I realised I had the lineart for this piece just sitting there, so I slapped some color on that bad boy to make sure Clive wasn't lonely.

I genuinely love Jill, though I have opinions about what they did with her character in the game. That said, I'd love to create a piece similar to 2025-05-01 17:49:45 +0000 UTC View Post

The Vessel - [ FFXVI Reward ]

"Come to me, Ifrit..."

I can't even begin to explain how involved this was, but damn if I'm not proud of how it turned out - particularly Ifrit. For someone who doesn't draw creatures very often, I may have found a new specialism...

As always your thoughts are ever so loved.

This reward was an ...
