2021 In Review

It's been quite a year!

edit : added the cropped chunks to the post, for easier mobile viewing

-----

I'll keep it brief here, since all the informative stuff i wanted to share is on the image itself.

I'm publicly posting the finished version of the Charlie/Jenny animation(s) tomorrow,

Thank you a...

Sketch Poll Winner 65 - Pointy

A little pointy, but well worth it~

-----

I wonder what they were watching? This one was fun, real glad to actually have a colored pic of Chinchaloon, and good to sort out Vexitty's colors as well. Sinister, grays and red.

Alright! That's gonna do it for not. As previously mentioned, I'm taking the final wee...

Sketch Poll #65 Results!

It's a little bit of an upset! Seems the heavier votes slightly favored Pointy~ The raw votes were really even, so i'm not surprised, but it looks like the cat v rat pic was too strong.

I'm a little bummed that kitobra still isn't in a colored pic yet, but i haven't drawn a chinchaloon in forever either so i can't compl...

BT 03 - Set Model wip

Hey! Just getting the set model together. It's pretty early, but i put like 5 hours into it today. I really ought to look into asset libraries to speed this stuff up, but i want it all to look like it fits in with the rest of my stuff. I do a good amount of drawing on top of the model so any model of like, a traffic cone i co...

Wish You Were Here (Holiday 2021)

"We all got together and got you something~"

-----

A present for her boyfriend, who i'm pretty sure will get a kick out of it.

We're not QUITE at the New Year's, but it's been quite a year for us. I've done the big mushy thank you posting before, after Start With A Kiss finished, so I won't bore you with it,...

Coyodune M / Nimbilisk F - V [s]

I'm sure she's got some way of knowing.

-----

Hey! This took forever, lol. One of those suggestions that like, requires a ton of context that can't be conveyed from the image suggested by itself. I also would have liked to do some research and concept work on how exactly nimbilisk's mouth works, since it's a very ...

Pondolotl M / Sogecko M - Fr [s]

Rubbing some scales together~

-----

Actually i'm not sure what pondolotl's skin is. Axolotl's are amphibians, which don't have scales to my knowledge, but its definitely a bit terrestrial looking. Couldn't say for sure i guess.

Bullfrilly M / Whirlott F - Dgy [s]

Feeling froggy in the alleyway

-----

bullfrilly hasn't gotten any love in quite a while, so it was fun to bring it back~

One of the few plant creatures so far, too! I really ought to make more, but i'm a bit stumped. I don't really wanna do "cactus with a face", you know? So it's difficult to stick foliage o...

Bottoms Up

He's buoyant in it, thankfully~

-----

Daisy, Jonah, And a Tyraster friend, apparently.

I've got some thumbnail sketches kicking around that i've never done anything with, so i figured i'd clean some of them up. This was a fun one, that could, of course, make for an amusing bonus tale topic down the road. But...

Wish You Were Here (wip)

Hey! So there were a number of asks for frozunny stuff, aurora stuff, christmas card stuff, and i figured i'd roll them all together into a fun pic, to act as the holiday 2021 pic.

I spent quite a while on this sketch, and still have more to do. Charlie and the closer Smozumi aren't in perspective properly, and i didn't...

Bandeleon M / Whirlott F - Htg [s]

"This was your idea, Ma'am. I need to get this to table 3, so if we could be quick about it...?"

-----

Poor bandeleon! Sounds like he's gonna get a bad tip from table 3, but hopefully it's worth it~

I was having a hell of a time with his head, because i only have the one front-facing reference, so if you wat...

Blazinguin M / Crysable F - Cowg [s]

Cozy by the fire~

-----

Been a bit since I drew these two! Their Bonus Tale came in second place in two polls, so it's a shame these two never seem to crack into the spotlight. Fun couple, though~

Tier Update (Nothing changes for existing patrons)

Hey! Just a business update.

I've decided to simplify the naming convention of my tiers, because Basic, Influential, Big and Super Supporter were all tough to keep straight, and a mouthful. So, they've all been simplified to 

☆, ☆☆, ☆☆☆ and ☆☆☆☆

I will find time soon to make fancy im...

All Tied Up : 00/12

Replacing this WIP cover with the real one, for use in Collections.

[Anim] Savor It (wip)

Slowly drinking every drop (almost)

-----

Hey! This is the teaser I'll be posting later, publicly. The finished animations (one high res, and one proof of concept low-res pixel animation, they're each a little different) went up today!

 As with the other animation stuff...

Savor It (Animated)

Slowly drinking every drop (almost)

-----

EDIT : alright! It's maybe a week early, but it's christmas~ I'm making this one public now. There are 2 versions, each is a little different, and the process to do each was pretty different!

Wow! So this was a ton of work.

...

Azuloris m / Coyodune f - Htd [s]

Edit : Added time lapses to all of today's sketches. Had to reinstall vegas for some reason. 

You don't sound very confident!

-----

Been a while since an azuloris popped up! A fun buddy, though that whole-body-frill is a bit of a chore sometimes. Also i'm glad to finally get to draw a coyodune! Not the ...

Sinossum m Stoazap f - Mis [s]

A snug embrace in the rose petals~

-----

Sinossum is a lot of fun, and i'm glad to draw another one! Figured it'd been a while since a stoazap showed up, and they're reasonably similar sizes, so i figured the two would go well together~ Considered Aurora, but i was hoping to get around to the blake/aurora suggesti...

Peckapi f - AutoC [s]

A little bit of self-care~

-----

Peckapi doesn't ge ta lot of love! It isn't quite long enough in the neck or flexible enough to stick its beak all the way in there though, so some bendy behind-the-wing twisting was the best i could do to make this happen.

That long tongue really needs to be utilized more, i...
