Rappenem Robot Redesign WIP!

It's been a while since I last redesigned my avatar and since I'm making the move away from pixel art and into digital art I thought it'd be a good time to give it another shot (this time in digital!).

I'd still like to hint towards my pixel art stuff but making the face a pixel display, thought I'm not sure how that'll...

Upcoming Patreon Changes!

Hey guys, hope you’re having a great day so far! 

As some of you may have noticed, I haven’t been doing much pixel art as of late, and I’ve been focusing more on my digital art like the food animal designs.

That’s for several reasons, the main one being that my passion has always been to design cool c...

Kiwi Kiwi wip :D

This idea feels so obvious I'm honestly suprised I hadn't thought about it earlier! Having a lot of fun with it for now, what do you guys think of the execution so far?

October rewards sent! + WIP drawing

I've just sent out the tier rewards for the month of October, as you'll see this was quite a productive month for me in terms of art :3

Pixel Art Tutorial - Water

Happy Halloween everyone :D Here's a tutorial on how I go about drawing water!

Water tutorial WIP!

Water tutorial is being worked on!

 I was hesitating on whether to make it about how to draw a water surface or moving water like a wave or splash, and since I couldn't quite decide I'll be doing both :D

Next tutorial?

Sorry for the wait, I know it's been a little while since my last tutorial but help me choose which theme I should go with this month!

Nightmare eel WIP

Been a while since I've done a creepy creature drawing, and when I saw this reference image of what I believe is a disfigured moray eel, I knew what I had to do >:3

For the rendering I'm testing out this monochromatic green look which is supposed to imitate old deep sea footage, but perhaps I'll go for somethi...

Patreon Ideas?

I’m wanting to start shifting my Patreon more towards my digital art since it's what I've mostly been doing over the past year, and I’m just wondering what kind of rewards you guys would like to see/be interested in that are in line with the digital art I’ve been making?

I have a couple of ideas so far rang...

New potential Patreon idea!

Lately I've been feeling like I'm running out of ideas for "good" pixel art tutorials. I've also been doing a lot more digital art than piixel art for several reasons. So I've been thinking about potentially making some big changes to my Patreon.

Nothing super concrete yet, and I'll still be making a couple more tutoria...

Pudding cat WIP

More environment practice

I've been wanting to get better at drawing/designing environments recently so I'm starting to practice with some thumbnails paintings!
