Sept 2022 Rewards: Redraws

We hit our Patreon goal of 150 Patrons so I did a redraw of some old art I had back in 2010 and 2011~ I feel like I leveled up with showing emotions, the confidence in my lines, and the composition! The collage was kinda tough for me because I haven't done collages in a long time, but it was still fun to make. I hope you guys...

Rugs Poll

Help, want to get your guy's thoughts on these rug ideas. I forsure am going to do #1 hahah. #3 will most likely be blue and green (based on the last poll, check it out if you haven't already) so if you vote on it then just focus on the design rather than the color.
