Chara Inktober 06 - "Their Favorite Outfit"

     Vin doesn't perceive herself to be an overly materialistic type. But one thing that 'Talon' likes to do is get her gifts. Expensive ones. And of those gifts, Vin probably likes the clothes the best. Fancy, flowy, sequined dresses and sparkly jewelry are among her favorite things to receive, if mostl...

Chara Inktober 05 - "Their Job"

     Things have been rough on Mido lately, especially with the encroachment of urban areas into places that were traditionally inhabited by tree-dwelling folk. This has created a more pressing need for what basically amounts to forest rangers, of which Vin is one.  Her detail keeps her close to her...

Chara Inktober 04 - "Their Home"

Homes on Mido are chiefly built near the tops of trees, far from the dangerous flora and fauna that inhabit the understory and forest floor. There is no standard architectural style, so it tends to vary from village to village. Vin's people favor wide-open, rounded huts with roofs made from thatch or bark. The rope-and-wood brid...

Chara Inktober 03 - "Their Pet(s)"

     "Yeah, yeah, sorry. I know I'm late today."

     Vin looked up into the boughs above, to the lines of feathery blue puffballs situated atop each of them. Dozens of beady, black eyes judged first her, then the dish of seeds and nuts she held out in front of her, the offerin...

Chara Inktober 02 - "Their Love Interest"

     Vin doesn't technically have a love interest in whatever canon exists outside of RP, so I just defaulted to this guy. His goes by 'Talon,' and he's basically the biggest, baddest bounty hunter on a backwater little planet called Sigma Rhada 6. There's only one big catch with their ...

Chara Inktober 01 - "A Character"

I draw this girl a lot, I realize, but I haven't actually taken the time to properly introduce her to many people. Maybe it's because I'm ashamed to be a roleplayer when I've got so many other things to do that're more important than my silly writing.

Anyway, yeah, here's Vin again.

And here're Vin's stats:

Discord Madness

Apologies to everyone who found themselves on a mystery Discord server only for it to vanish a minute later. I was messing around with tiers this morning and I hadn't realized that activating Discord rewards would just suck everyone onto the server all at once.

Expect at least a couple of days' notice before that happens again...

Sendak Standee Submitted (FINALLY)!

I finally got the artwork submitted for this thing. It's probably not really a huge deal in the grand scheme of things, but this is one of the first times I've actually followed through on some merch I've wanted to make.

I just hope Zap accepts my files because god was preparing the art hair-raising. 

I'll post an u...

$5 Patron Rewards - September 2018

Hey guys, welcome to October!

I'm sorry that things have been super quiet around here lately. Having to spend 10 days at my parents' place at the beginning of September really threw me off my game.

Anyway! The bundle for last month just went out to $5 Patrons!

Inktober Thumbnails pt. 1

I swore I was going to do Inktober this year. It snuck up on me a bit, sadly, but I'm still going to try and make a go of it. But I'm planning them out ahead of time instead of just winging it because I always screw up when I do that.

Anyway, I drew these up this morning. I'm using a list of prompts that's different from the o...

A Smol Bab

I was going to use yesterday to start catching up on work, but I was still kind of reeling from being stuck for six days and then cramming myself into a minivan with my parents and two noisy birds for the trip home. So I did what I usually do when I feel like crap and I drew Vin again like a selfish git. Because she's my therapy...

A Smallish Pea Pt. 2

She's still kind of mad at me.

Also my message notifier went off right in the middle of recording this, confirming yet again that this is a McElroy-listening household.

Have to do some exercises to get this little girl used to me. 💜

Home Tomorrow, Hopefully

Sorry for the radio silence, guys. I was supposed to be home on Tuesday and wound up stuck here an extra five days. Provided nothing else happens I should be back home Monday and back to work this coming Tuesday.

Fingers crossed. :| I have a lot of crap to make up considering my parents in particular have an uncanny k...

A Smallish Pea

Hey all,

I promised lovebird pictures, but she is rather difficult to photograph. I managed to get one, however, and I'll try to grab more later when she's out of her cage.

Her name is Sweet Pea. She is small and fighty, and she's going to have to be recall trained, but I think I can manage it.

Sadly, due to some j...

Bonus Doodle Dump - August 2018

Sorry there hasn't been a lot of activity over the last month. It's because I'm kind of a chicken shit when it comes to my fandom and my OCs, like it's something I'm supposed to be supremely embarrassed about because 'oh no I'm a professional and professionals don't do this crap.'

But, whatever. You guys know what fandom garba...

Quick Note RE: This Month's Rewards

Bundles will be a couple days late this time because I'm going to be out of town to visit my parents from tomorrow (Sept. 1st) through Tuesday, the 4th. I'd like to say that I'm going to sneak some sketches in during that time, but I know fully well that my mother is probably going to be bugging me the entire time with a bunch o...

NSFW - 'Selfie'

I've been in a rotten mood the last few days, so I drew something selfish to get out of it. Plus this Patreon has been lacking in NSFW content lately.

Two birds, one stone.

Mind the ding-dongs.

"I would not."

More dumb plotting with my friends.
More characters who hate each other's guts.
I'm cool with it.

NSFW Animation - Aug. Update

Haha... 

Sorry for the sluggish updates with this thing. I haven't really had much time to actually sit down and work on it.

There's still some wonk happening here and there, and some things that I want to fix now that I've had some time away from it and can see what's really bugging me.

Rebelle 3 Practice - Vin

I've been screwing around with a lot of software I'm not used to lately.
Guess that's all there really is to say.

I like how natural Rebelle looks, more so than even SketchBook.

Neo Shousis

I downloaded a trial for the latest version of Painter, and spent some time messing around in it.

I don't hate this, but I definitely should have used a ref.

Discord & Other Updates

Hey, guys, it's been a while since I've really updated with any news aside from art.

First off, I've decided that I'm going to revive an old Discord server I've had sitting around.  It's going to be for $3 Patrons and up, so at least that tier offers something unique aside from the NSFW work that I seem to be having troub...

Commish Catch-Up - Ranirus

Here's another one from the giant backlog pile I have going. 💚

I tried something different here that I also did in the pic of Sel'ythae, that being the silhouette 'backdrop' thing because I kind of got tired of just painting characters in a flat, empty space. It's not much but I feel like it does something to fill the void ...

$5 Patron Rewards - July 2018

Happy August, everyone! Hope you're all doing well!

This last month has been a bit of a strange one. I'm mostly settled from the move a couple of months ago, though getting my work ethic back has been a little bit of a fight. I had some really crap days there for a bit, but things feel like they're picking up. My motivation is...

Commish Catch-Up - Sel'ythae & Rainsong

I've got my motivation back and I'm finally, finally getting going on getting commissions cleared out again. Here's one of the first ones I've completed. 

It took me a while, because the draping of the dress nearly killed me a few times and what the hell is animal anatomy, but...

Hell, I'm just really happy...

Oh Hey It Vin

Had a sketch kind of get away from me.

Oops.

• I actually took process shots for this one so $5 Patrons will get those! Neat, right? 💜

Boss Rush Friday Results - July 27th, 2018

All done with another boss rush! Thanks again to everyone who bought a slot or showed up to the stream! There was a lot of good conversation this week! 💜

Hide Yo Kids

I included the rough of this in a bundle a few months ago, but I finally put in the effort to polish it up a bit. It's just a graphic I'm doing for a bit of writing on one of my blogs that I've wanted to do since March, and I'm finally getting around to it.

Figured I may as well share it here first.
