Changing my Patreon: 1 Tier Only

Hi everyone,

Some of you will probably have seen this coming and it's not without difficulty that I've finally decided that I will be closing my Patreon for all except the lowest tier. The tier will continue to exist as a tip jar of sorts and as a small fee to gain access to everything I've posted before (which I will make available for s...

Changes to the $2 tier.

Hey everyone!

First and foremost, as always, I want to express my thanks to all of you who are here, whether you're a new patron or someone who has been around a long time, I appreciate all of your support greatly.

For a bit of background (especially for those of you who are new) when I started this...

Timelapse: Lion Study

Timelapse of the lion study I did in acrylic paint (much better quality recording this time). This one took a lot longer than the others (about 6-7 hours I think, where the previous ones took 4-5). I really struggled to figure out the colors at first, then capturing the texture of the longer fur strands on such a small size proved a challenge as...

Stag: Acrylic painting process

This one is also posted publicly on my Twitter, but I'm sharing it here for posterity. I've been picking up acrylic painting again after almost 10 years of not having touched it, and it's been a very nice break from sitting at my PC to create!

Addressing Patreon's Fee Change

Alright guys, for those of you who didn't know it yet - Patreon will be changing the way they charge processing fees starting December 18th.

From then on, patrons will be charged a processing fee (2.9% + 0.35 cents) on top of their regular pledge. Previously that fee was covered by us, the creators, but Patreon saw fit to place that burden onto p...

200'th post!

It just came to my attention that with the last two posts I crossed the 200 post mark! This means that from the moment I started this Patreon in March 2016, I have made almost 10 posts per month.

By now, your support is a significant enough portion of my income that I have the breathing room to spend more time on personal art and studies without ...

Making your anthro species recognizable

In an art chat on Telegram, somebody asked how one can differentiate between small and big cats in anthro form. In answer to that, I doodled up this "miniguide" which basically boils down to using reference and understanding the characteristics of the species you are drawing. This applies to all anthros really, but since the question was about cats...

Mentoring update!

As some of you may know, over the past few months I have been optimizing my mentoring process to find the most efficient way to be of help while not burdening myself (or my students) with too much work to keep things organised. Huge shout-out to Levn for being of so much help and support in all of this!

What's happening? ...

Lion Studies

More cats! A few quick lion studies.

Reward update!

Hey everyone!

Please note that as of today my pledge rewards have changed. If you are already a Patron, please have a look and consider if you would like to continue to pledge the amount you selected.

If you are not a Patron yet, I hope there's something here that you like!

Thanks for looking!

Sneak preview of Video #2

Just finished the recording of the second video! I will edit and narrate it in the coming days and publish it as soon as it's ready. 

Keep an eye out on those inboxes!

SOON...

I will soon have my first Patreon content ready to be published - I'm very excited!

My initial thought was to wait until I received the first pledges in  March before publishing, but it seems only fair that you guys get an impression of what you can expect before you pay me for further content. A welcoming gift of sorts I suppose! <...
