Still trying to figure out Instagram etc.

Hey guys. I want to post all my future videos and content here, but I am new to Instagram, and though I like its video editor, I'm still figuring out how most of it works. So I apologize for the delays in uploads for hi-res and compiled stuff. >_<

No longer going to be posting steps

I will no longer post "step processes" or explain how I did anything in my pieces. I don't think anyone reads them or cares about them, and since they take a lot of time, I will no longer commit myself to do them. 

I am very disappointed that most of my newest patrons canceled after only a day. I was hoping to build a fun community wi...

Expanded Part 1 of The Fattening of Steinar

No pun intended. 

I decided to add more to the story since I wasn't feeling satisfied with the length of the original post. There are now more details and dialogue and I'm a lot happier with it now. ^^

New Tiers and Rewards + UPDATED Discord server!

All tiers and rewards have been revamped and updated. There is now an updated server! It's still WIP, but I plan to be active on it this time now that I have a better idea of what I want to do. 

NEWS: Diversifying my Content

As made evident by my last post, I will now upload fan works here as well. The catch, however, is that I will include the copyrights despite the higher resolutions.

I have been talking about this for awhile, but I have strong plans for making a tutorial of some kind.

I will also try to upload much more frequently. The goal is to get ...

Iu'ellena and Vivi

And now for the final busts requests for none other than Jordi! She might not have been my supporter long but I really have enjoyed her requests. These two are my favorite by far--I'm just really happy with how both turned out. 

Thanks again for supporting me despite my shite upload schedule! >.<

A Love Lost

My final reward for my good friend and fellow SNOUP member, James. Just in time for the season, right? Happy St. Valentine's Day!

I spent three days on this one, so yes definite effort was made despite my attempts NOT to put too much into it. . . And it's mostly because I've been so dead ass tired! It's hard to concentrate lol. 

Ichibei and Meili Busts

The last requests for my long time follower, Squeaky Tachibana! Thanks so much for continued support. :D

I put a a little more effort into these ones because Squeaky has been such a wonderful patron throughout the years. 

I had fun drawing these two. They're both so pretty. LOL

An Unusual Couple and Warrior Lady

Long overdue rewards for Jordi. Sorry for the long wait. >.< I was suppose to finish these weeks ago but I got the flu then had to visit family.

The first pair is her Demon Hunter and Satyr accomplice/lover. I decided to draw them together and show how she has control over him but obvious intrigue as well. ;)

Second is her WoW ...

Chester Bust - An actual grumpy cat

Last request from the triple batch for Squeaky! This time it's her grumpy cat boy, Chester. 

The first thing I thought while drawing him is that he looks a lot like Kanoe from LAMENTO, a yaoi game I'm personally fond of. XD

I also drew him with very little difficulty for some reason. Maybe it's cause he's just too cute? ;)

Battle Roughened

Yet another reward bust for Squeaky. She asked me to draw my favorite Link, and since Ocarina of Time Link is my favorite, I decided to draw him. ^^

This has a bit more effort than usual because it's Link lol. 

I'm sorry so slow doing these requests. I've been in a huge slump again (depression relapse) so I'm slow going. I'm get...

And the other three

Triple reward for Wkw! He asked me to draw three more winx characters so I decided to the original three Winx Club members: Musa, Techna and Flora.

I started this like  2 weeks ago but I couldn't draw for shit. lol >_> So I'm happy to finally finish this one. It's a little more effort than usual just like the one I did of Bloom ...

Pyroc Bust

October reward for James. I put more effort than usual because Pyroc is an OC of mine for our Boltaire project. :)

I changed some stuff from his original design because I didn't like how it looks at all anymore. For example: Yellow shirt? Wtf was I thinking lol. 

I gave him some gauntlets and shoulder pads to make him look like ...

A Forgotten Time

Special reward again for my buddy and team member, James!

I started this days ago but bad art block really held me back from finishing it. 

This is his rewards for August and September. The October one I'll just upload separately when I finish it cause otherwise it would have felt out of place here. XD

The characters are L...

A Flame and Shadow

Long overdue rewards for Jordi. These are are the two characters she requested for May and June (I'm not sure what their names are, but they are both very pretty!)

I finished the fella on the right more than a week ago, but I didn't want to upload him alone. >.> Sorry for the wait though. I hope you like them!

Alcade Bust

May reward for SqueakyTachibana, this time of her oc Alcade, a very handsome prince! This is just one of the rewards she requested, but I have a special made for the other one. I drew this several days ago, but I didn't want to upload it until I got her other request done. XD I hope you like it!

The sun & moon and the fire deep inside

Wayyy overdue rewards for Wkwied! I had to let this sit for days because no matter what I did, I could not draw at all. Everything came out wonky and weird. Glad I didn't abandon this though because coming back to it did help a lot.

Anyway, since he requested for me to draw Stella and Bloom from Winx Club, I felt obligated to put ...

Just a small annoyance. . .

Special reward for my buddy James! This is for his May and June contributions. He asked me to draw Jessica and Jonathan together, but didn't give any specifications, so this is what I came up with.

Hope you like it <3

Caligo and Barathrum Busts

March and April rewards for Wkwied! These are his ocs. I'm not 100% sure if I got Caligo right, but I hope this is okay. lol These two took longer for me to draw than I thought. >_>

Sekibaku and Yome Busts

March and April rewards for Squeaky! These are her OCs, Sekibaku and Yome. 

For some reason Yome's lines came out a little less clean than Sekibaku's, and she took longer for me to draw for some reason. >.> Either way I hope they turned out alright.

Sorry these are a bit delayed. I've been busy with personal matters again....

Laerica Bust

Reward for my newest patron, Jordi! This is their OC, Laerica, a mermaid. Perfect for Mermay. XD

I took some artistic license on the scales. I hope you don't mind!

A Kiss Better

This is another special double reward for my buddy James, this time with the characters from our project, Boltaire the Lightning Child! This is Vitasha and the titular protag, Boltaire. Vitasha has healing powers, so she is giving Boltaire a kiss to help him feel better after a tough battle roughened him up a bit.

I remember James...

Kntakk Bust

Jan reward for Laura Long. This is the last member of that magical boy/girl group I did for her. He was also my favorite to draw. ;)

Kisa and Rex Busts

Wow these are way too late and I apologize for that. I keep getting busy and sick. It's really frustrating. >.>

Also I had a weird problem for a week where nothing I drew looked right. At least that's passed!

Anyway this is Kisa and Rex for Squeaky Tachibana's Jan and Feb rewards. :) 

Malum and Titania Busts

Jan and Feb rewards for Wkwied! 

These are his ocs Malum and Titania. I had some fun drawing both, but Malum I probably had TOO much fun with. XD

He gave me the option to draw Titania without her armor, but I decided to take the challenge and draw her with armor on. Besides, I wanted an excuse to draw armor lol. 

Gustav and Ignus Busts

This has more effort than what I usually do for these, but since it's for one my best buds, he gets to be spoiled a bit. ;)

This is the Jan and Feb $10 rewards for my patron and friend, James. On left is Gustav and on right is Ignus. They are characters from a project I help him out with called Boltaire the Lightning Child. <...

Ookami

$5 December reward for Laura :)

This is her OC Ookami, a warrior magical girl. I may or may not have made her boobs too big. I apologize if I did. XD

Pangea Bust

$10 reward for Wkwied for the month of December! This honestly took me too long to finish, but I'm rather happy with how she turned  out. She is so pretty. ^^

Wilhelm Bust

December reward for Squeaky Tachibana! This is her oc (or I think it is, correct me if I'm wrong!) Wilhelm. He's a chill guy who loves his weed. ;)

Crystie Bust

After more than a week of struggling with finding time to draw, I finally found time AND motivation to get some art done. >.< I swear I have many times where I draw stuff and it comes out looking like absolute garbage but then I decide to pick up the pen/pencil on another day and I'm drawing like it's no problem. Sometimes I wonder if it's...
