Hello everyone.
Thanks so, so, so much for still being here, offering support, for so long, with no word from me.
I've been in retreat, tryin' to heal and so on. I guess I'm something of an art-make person after all, because during all of that, without really meaning to, I've still been making some art here and there. A lot of it was on paper or on whiteboards or otherwise lost to time, but after putting together just what was easy...
2023-06-30 22:46:44 +0000 UTC View PostPlease find enclosed some art what's been up on the twitter, and a few commissions and such that I haven't put up there.
As for me - I'd just moved across the continent, which has been pretty good except for all the paperwork. oof. So many things to do just to be able to like, legally have a car in another US state, a few of which I'd already screwed up and been financially penalized for - and that's just one of like 8 whole things I hav...
2021-12-24 10:54:36 +0000 UTC View PostInexcusably long since I posted anything here. I'd been hoping things would magically improve, but the small number of sketches this year makes it painfully obvious that, uh, nope, that dodn't happn. Also Covid's still here, also I haven't been able to get any mental health care or evaluation. Trying to do more lately anyways, but, dang. That there's still people who support me is, well, it's heartwarming, and also a bit heartwrenching cos I w...
2021-10-10 20:59:42 +0000 UTC View PostI keep wishing I could tell y'all everything's back to normal and I'm going to be uploading art regularly again. Unfortunately, my relationship with my art continues to be difficult and painful. Since art is my ambition and my livelihood, that's uh, not super great. My relationship with myself in general has likewise been poor. I've been told I should look into therapy; I'm working on it, although the sheer array of options and processes remai...
2020-11-12 02:57:17 +0000 UTC View PostDid a little bit of a stream today, to try to dig myself up out of the hole I'm in. It was a good time! Tested out a new brush, too. To be honest, I still don't know that I'm 'back' or 'better' or 'marginally improved' or anything, but, did this thing, here you go!
2020-10-22 09:45:35 +0000 UTC View PostJust a couple images this time, sketches really, anthro-spidery-rather-Muffet-y ones. I'll try to get back to posting more substantial, more regular content just as soon as I can - I've been kinda on 'mental health break' for a bit, and am still recovering my art faculties, which I've temporarily, uh, lost. (The sort of two step forwards, 1d3 steps back sort of recovery wherein I may make negative progress or not recover for a while.) I really...
2020-08-25 06:43:24 +0000 UTC View PostHere's some art from somewhat recently. It's largely commissions. I've been having a harder time doing personal art or live streaming lately, plus general life difficulty (who hasn't had a bunch of that these days, am I rite?). Thank you if you stuck around this long. Also if you hadn't, thank you still for having been there at all, plus I totally understand!
Please take good care of yourselves, y'all.
Edit: Art uploaded. Who...
2020-06-02 06:48:41 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I couldn't sleep, and also abruptly remembered that art is fun, and streamed for a bit, and these sketches resulted, and I thought I'd archive them here for y'all! Not a whole lot to say about this lot other than 'no planning went into any of this.'
Happy New Year, by the by!
2020-01-04 11:23:56 +0000 UTC View PostIt's been a while since I've posted anything here, a fact that is not lost on me. I still exist, i still make art, but because I've taken Wednesdays off, and not been streaming, I've not had a lot to post that's, how you say, on-topic. Embarrassingly, most of my public-facing content has been produced on this one day per week I had set aside to take requests.
I'm still trying to work through how I'll get around, over, and through that - ...

Hi there. So I didn't post anything last week, because, after missing so many Wednesday Streams and close to running out of the easy to post stuff from my commissioned work archives (which I sorta see as a cop-out anyways), I couldn't bring myself to face all'a'y'all, with your kind and generous support and my not being able to pull myself together on Wednesdays lately. This time I at last have one image, and it's giving me courage, heh.
No Wednesday Stream again this week. I started doing these in like... Late 2017? So almost 2 years? In this time I think I've missed... 3, including that time I technically had one but it just had a single small page, and all 3 of these were pretty recent. That makes it a trend. Hopefully one I can veer off of. Gotta get more... sleep or something. So I'll be sorting that out. Meanwhile, have an art pack of various commissioned work that I did...
2019-09-26 09:06:08 +0000 UTC View PostHere be the archive for this week. I started out doing poses from reference like I told myself I would, got heinously bored, and ended up trying out a sort-of-new method of sketching where I ink and shade simultaneously. It takes way longer (or possibly I'm not used to it yet). which may be an advantage - it forces me to slow down and think about what I'm doing. Or, I subconsciously picked easier images because I felt like I was out of my comf...
2019-09-19 04:30:46 +0000 UTC View PostI'd resolved to experiment with colors this Wednesday stream, and am happy to the report that the experiment was a success! I had fun, and made some things that I think turned out fun. One image I got a little overambitious with and had to pare it down, or I'd have spent like... All day working on it, but salvaged a part of it all the same so that's fine.
2019-09-12 05:26:15 +0000 UTC View PostAlright! Successfully did some art! Things are looking up, mhm, mhm. Mind you, not many individual pieces actually got done - but, I think, the ones that did get done were nifty. (Not terribly lewd, though. If'n you want more of that maybe let me know in a comment.)
I feel like I'm getting comfortable enough with the art thing to explore how I stylize characters a bit, so I did some of that in here, trying something a little more convent...
2019-09-05 04:48:00 +0000 UTC View Post
I was just really unable to do Wednesday Stream today; I dunno if it was lack of sleep or what (actually probably just that, yeah) but I crashed pretty darn hard and just made this one not-even-filled-out sketch page. I'll find something else to post soon (right now I'm just including some stuff I posted on twitter that wasn't in patreon stream archives).
I'd promise a make-up stream, but I've obligations all through the week and b...
2019-08-29 01:49:32 +0000 UTC View PostThis Wednesday Stream was just a big pile of sketches, no inks or shading or anything fancy schmancy like that. I think it's nice to just sketch sometimes, though. You get a bigger pile that way. Also I think that the sketching tool I used for this is possibly gonna help me learn about varying line thicknessess for my inking, so that's good!
I'm-a just say, thanks so much for looking at, caring about, and in my patrons' case supporting f...
2019-08-22 05:29:47 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the results of today's Wednesday Stream! At least a couple good images in there! Probably! And a bunch of stupid stuff also! Yay!
Back on the horse kind of!
2019-08-15 04:13:47 +0000 UTC View PostTurns out I couldn't manage to do a Wednesday Stream this week. (Haven't missed one of those in a long time! Feels weird.) As an apology, I've collated here some of my recent twitter posts that weren't part of streams (and therefore aren't archived on Patreon), with maybe a couple other images - mostly, stuff from commission streams. Not much of an apology compared to new original art, but maybe some of you will find the archive convenient! 2019-08-08 02:20:43 +0000 UTC View Post
A nice, normal stream! I wasn't sick, or beset by cats, or awash in unnatural feelings, or stretched to unknowable angles, or anything. Um, here it is! Got a bit of a theme of peeps throwing tantrums and/or ice-cream pity-fests. (Or maybe I just wanted a tub of ice-cream, I dunno.) Here it is!
2019-08-01 04:59:52 +0000 UTC View PostAnother short, disappointing stream - it wasn't my fault this time though!
Kinda!
I mean yeah the website I stream on went down for a bit... But I also slacked off and didn't draw meanwhile, so, yeah. It's on me still. I won't be making a habit of it! Next time - good stream, many images! Face forward, step upward! Onward and towards! Forever and beyond! Rah rah raaaaah!
Here's the archive of what I did get done, though.
2019-07-25 05:03:03 +0000 UTC View PostHere's an archive! I wasn't feeling great today, so um, it's not up to, uh, standards. Not a lot happened and what did happen was a bit... Hm. But the day wasn't wholly wasted! I got a couple designs for some characters I might like to make a story about refined a little bit, design-wise, and continued my quest for the perfect goblin.
Still, I hope I'm more up for making things next week, heh. Statistically, I will be! So that's good. 2019-07-18 04:20:11 +0000 UTC View Post
Archive of images from the latest stream. I had a bit of a one-track, not very lewd focus this time around, mostly on face structures. Not terribly exciting, yes, but, maybe important for later!
The images labeled 'iro' are directly inspired (and in one case directly referenced from) one of my favorite porny webcomics, 'I roved out in search of truth and love,' by one of my favorite porny artists, Alexis Flower.
2019-07-11 04:36:04 +0000 UTC View PostHere it is, the Wednesday Stream Archive for the week! I should really be uploading these to like, ehentai or some aggregation site like that, get views, but uh I only ever remember that at the end of a long day of art when I'm very tired and can't be bothered to figure out how to do that.
Did slightly different way of lighting things that is more painting-y! Like, put down the lightest lights and the darkest darks first, sort of thing. ...
2019-07-04 06:00:52 +0000 UTC View PostHere it is, the latest Wednesday stream archive. Not much different about my approach this week. It did occur to me that y'all can read my file names, which is nifty.
So... Yeah! Here it is. Thanks so much for being my patrons, you patrons you! (And you future viewers that aren't necessarily patrons, thank you for looking at my stuff!) It's really helping me out, and I appreciate it, like, a lot. If you ever think like well maybe I don't...
2019-06-27 04:28:38 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the archive of the latest Wednesday stream! A larger than usual proportion of SFW stuff. Not a ton to say otherwise, so.... Enjoy!
2019-06-20 04:08:59 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the archive of this stream! I'm really enjoying this new process, in involves a 'fountain pen' effect I made out of the 'drop shadow' layer type and really thinking about shading as though it was physical media ink.
My favorite from this stream is the 'want' sequence. It took the longest, I think it was the most educational, and it got kinda feels-y.
2019-06-13 06:10:23 +0000 UTC View PostHere it is, the zip of images from the latest Wednesday Stream. I was trying out a fountain-pen-like effect on my brushes which I think encouraged me to draw a bit more loosely, and leaned more into the 'blended ink wash'-type shading I've been so enamored with lately.
2019-06-06 06:25:01 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the images from today's Wednesday stream, in a zip file! I found a fun soft pen that I warmed up to as the stream went on, it's from a collection called Scott's Clip Studio Paint Pens that is available for pay-what-you-like somewhere.
Didn't end up taking too too many requests this time around, since I was so busy playing with the new pen I guess!
2019-05-30 04:52:51 +0000 UTC View PostHere's the archive of today's stream! Unfortunately my program crashed and I lost some of the last hour, which was a shaded/finished version of the second Minotaur/elf pic, Oh well! What's there's there.
In unrelated news, I kinda wish Patreon had a progress bar of some kind for its attachment uploads.
2019-05-23 04:21:17 +0000 UTC View PostUnfortunately this was a short stream - I started a bit late and had to call it over rather early for reasons. The contents are a bit on the quick-and-sketchy side. I'll try to make it up with more content during the week - we'll see how that goes - but meanwhile here's an archive of everything in it!
