Hello, Patreon!
... and hello, everyone else!!
This month, I wanted to try something a little different! Not so much in terms of subject matter, but in the presentation! See, I realized that I don't have much in the way to share what my Patreon could have in store for the public beyond some simple cropped images on Twitter and the like. I want people to get a better understanding of...

Hey, Patreon! Work continues on whittling down the commission queue! This is the final WIP update to this piece before the finished colors phase, and that'll be one more down!
Until next time, everyone, take care of yourselves, and thank you for your continued support!

Hey, Patreon! After finishing the line art for my other commission I'm currently working on, I knew it was time to revisit this piece, which is getting the full color and background treatment by the time it's finished! It's a doozie, but it's really coming along so far!
This background might take some time, but I made a promise that my...

Hello AGAIN, Patreon! Like I said in my previous update, I'd have something to share commission-wise as soon as my client approved the work! Here I am to deliver just that!!
This one's proven to be a tricky one, if only because of the way these girls have found themselves entangled in ribbons! Getting those looking believable while also making sense of their extremely snug pose was difficult, but I had to suck it up and be a big boy abou...

Hello again, Patreon! Apologies for the lack of updates lately! My workplace is gradually returning to a normal pace, and I've been doing a lot of doodles relating to my Pokémon "fan project", for lack of a better term, during the slow periods, or as warm-ups before continuing commission work! Speaking of which, I'll have an update to share about that as soon as I get approval from my commissioner!!
I actually didn't re...

Hello, Patreon! In an attempt to get more work done more quickly on my commissions, I'm multi-tasking a little bit! Here's the first sketch for another paid work I've had lined up for a while, featuring two different OC's: the commissioner Codricor1's OC Alessandra (left) and Master417's OC Eria (right)!
The idea here is a classic "spell gone wrong" scenario, where these...

Hey Patreon! Sorry for the random interruption in the typical updates! I've been unable to sit down and draw at the computer as much as I'd like lately with the hectic holiday schedule, but I am making some time to get some drawing in while I'm at work! And as you can see, I've had Pokémon on the brain lately!
Having very much enjoyed Pokémon Scarlet over the last month, I've been thi...

Hey, Patreon! Here's a quick little peek at something I started on today as a warm-up, featuring two of the lovely Elite Four ladies of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet: Geeta and Rika! But something's a little different!!
I'll slap some color on this one real quick tomorrow perhaps, and upload it to Twitter and dA when it's done. I get a feeling some particular crowds might enjoy this when i...

Hellooo, Patreon! It's a new month, and I finally sat myself down to finish up this piece! It's been in the works for months now, and I did color it at last some time ago... But I had no idea what to do with the background! So I just decided to wing it! We all know where the REAL focus is, anyway!!
Got a lot in store in the future! New commission WIP's, new Mamabito content... Even a new Pokémon fan cha...

Hello again, Patreon! As expected, these flats didn't take much time at all to hammer down... Just had to find the right colors! I hate color-picking from the reference image, so I did what I could to make these colors look more "my own" while still remaining suitable for the character!
Also, I usually color at least some line art in this phase... But this piece is going to be fully shaded! I do...

Hey, Patreon! How's everybody been in the last couple weeks? We're holding it down best we can! I finally managed to make some time to finish the line art for my latest commission featuring Drasna from Pokémon X & Y! This one's come a long way from the sketch, huh!? Glad we're finally seeing it looking a...

Please enjoy this lovely little number featuring Honeybito, Mamabito's childhood best friend, dressed up for the holiday in a rather captivating queen bee costume!
FUN FACT: While bees and wasps are the bane of many villagers in the world of Animal Crossing, Kari here doesn't really know what all the fuss is ab...

Hey, Patreon! This might be the last update to this piece since I'm going to be powering through it to get it done in time for Halloween! Just wanted to be sure you guys got to see the completed line art! Really happy with these lines!!
I may make one more update with flats if I feel it's enough to warrant the update at all, but we'll see! I want to focus on getting this one finished before it's too late! Until next time, take care, and ...

Hello, Patreon! I know I already drew up a sketch for this year's Halloween piece featuring Honeybito, but I was so fond of her outfit, I just had to draw it again!! Here we have Mamabito and Honeybito sitting together at a Halloween party! And it looks like Mamabito might have alread...

Hellooo, Patreon!! Sorry for the lack of updates this month! I've had a lot of life stuff that I've been tackling behind the scenes, and it kept me from drawing much of anything for a couple weeks! I finally managed to sit down and knock out some rough poses for a potential Halloween piece for this year, and picked out my favorite from the list to wind up... here!
Yes, the featured -bito for Halloween 2022 is Hon...

Hello again, Patreon!! While I've yet to get something showoffable for my next commission, this piece of Mamabito is getting colored rather quickly! Colors do come to me much faster than line art, that's for sure!
Please enjoy this preview as I prepare to buckle down on other necessary projects! Thank you again to all the loyal patrons who continue to stick around! And as always, take care of yourselves!!

Hey, Patreon! Apologies for the lack of updates! Due to working so many closing shifts, I've been burned out when it comes to making art. I haven't drawn in over a week, so I had to do something to warm myself up before trying to create a quality product for my commissioners... So I decided to revisit an old Mamabito sketch from a previ...

Hello, Patreon! A slight change of plans from what I had in store earlier this year! Initially, I wanted to have the epilogue started before work continued on commissions... But after catching COVID and being out of work for a week, everything got put on hold! And now that I'm full time, work is taking more of my time that I would have otherwise spent drawing!
I'm still working toward a better work/life balance with the new schedule, but...

Hey, Patreon! I absolutely had to take part in Tinsay10's #seefeetredraw over on Twitter, especially after I recommended he turn his redraw into an art meme in the first place! It was a lot of fun, and I'm glad I managed to get in while it was still hot!
Alright! Time to enjoy the rest of my birthday! After I get some sleep!! Until next...

Hey, Patreon! I went ahead and finished this comic up! Like I said before, the colors were pretty quick to fill in, but man, I made some silly mistakes in the latter half that made this take a lot longer than it needed to! It's a learning experience!!
I've already begun sketching my next commission, and I'd like to get it started before continuing work on the epilogue, now that Papabito's already been revealed! It's high time I clean off...

Hello, Patreon! Apologies for the lack of updates recently! As you know, shortly upon returning to work after recovering from COVID, I was given a full-time position. I'm still trying to get used to my new schedule, working about 42 hours a week on average, and a lot of those are closing shifts, so I haven't had the time to draw that I'd like!
That said, I'm actively working to discipline myself to draw more, so I sketched up this simple...
2022-09-04 16:36:15 +0000 UTC View PostHello, Patreon! As you know, I've been developing Mamabito, her family, and most recently, her friends, across three years now! Even with Memories of Arcadia and all the other assorted comics and drawings I've done in that time, there's still so much about these characters I haven't really elaborated on!
So, I've decided to host an AMA dedicated to all these characters!...

Hey, Patreon! I see a lot of you were quite curious about this brand new character I've been cooking up! Now that she's in color, I'm happy to tell you exactly who this is!!
This is Kari, a brand new character I'm adding to the cast of Mamabito's world! A few of you were debating that she must be Renée's sister, and while that's not a bad guess, they actually have no familial relation! As I mentioned be...

Hello, Patreon! I'm about to hop into bed, but I just had to share a little something with you all!
I've been brainstorming recently while going back and replaying the original Animal Crossing on Nintendo Gamecube, and found myself struck with the realization that I had a brand new character on my hands! I won't give up too many details right away-- save that for the colored version of...
