I'm a little under the gun this month with mysterious Game Art so will be pausing the Patreon billing!
This means that nobody will be charged at the end of their current billing period. I will still put out a reward if possible as a thanks for sticking around!
Anyway as always thanks for the support, and I'll see you all again in M...

A booster pack of the marker-type brushes I use for rough sketch coloring! A bit smooth for painting, but great for design sketches.

Do you want to paint scales? like, a bazillion scales?
Well now you can, and finish before you die of old age! Use these to slap down a base layer, making strokes along the form of the character. Then paint over the top to add realism and detail. Or leave raw for an edgy 'it's digital, it's concept art, it's 2010, fuck you' look.

PSD templates for use in Photoshop, CSP or your PSD reading program of choice!
There's one for presenting sketches on nice paper, one for thumbnailing and one for painting (with a bunch of light layers that I genuinely use in a lot of work). I don't suggest you use ALL the layers in any of these, but choose the ones you enjoy and maybe it'...

Overall it's MUCH quicker to get nice hair results using these. I've been enjoying them a lot.

On request, I recorded this one so you can see how I did the extra fluffy hair!
The basic principle is start with a blob done using only a large, soft round brush (the most basic kind). On top of that you then add a little bit of textured flyaway using actual hair and detail brushes.
There's lots of hacky stuff in there. You can dow...

An update on the PSD file that I use to start most of my paintings! This has a big stack of useful layers with effects and what have you, but the main thing is just a high resolution ground-washed canvas texture so you're not starting from Blank White.
Grab here!
Back on my thrall portrait bullshit to try these out!
Like all illustration obsessives I idolise that weird as JC Leyendecker crosshatched/scribbly-yet-deliberate brushwork. But also I sure as hell am not taking up gouache.
These brushes won't make you Leyendecker, but they will force you to try some interesting stuff.
PS: Niri...

Hey all! This month I made some tutorial sheets for you out of some exercises I sometimes do. These can be done digitally or they're printable format to do with traditional media. The Choose Your Project sheet is more or less how I picked TLO over other projects that I was kinda tossing up doing.
Are these useful to you? Anything else...

I find charcoal so goddamn hard to use and these capture that, yay! (Seriously though, I love how charcoal looks but the struggle is real. I'm sure someone better at the medium would enjoy these.
Thanks all, enjoy!

Hey all! Thanks for continuing to support my work, it's really been amazing. I've decided to change how my rewards are structured a little. If you don't care and just want to support feel free to skip this wall of text! You can grab the new big cat base from the download link below.

Are you still using the hard round brush for shape design? Step into the future with... these various things I made for banging out lots of silhouettes. Good for a concept art workflow! Grab a video demo too of me making these ground-dragons.
Also, here's a look at the upcoming Big Cat mega-base, which I'll be posting here too. If ...

The quest continues to get PS brushes to replicate the feel of my beloved but expensive, toxic and annoying oil paints
These are the closest yet! The real answer might be using the mixer brush with something like these, but that's so incredibly laggy on most machines I'm just writing it off for the moment.
Hope you all enjoy <3 Us...

Sometimes neat little brushes make you stuffy when you're doing your gesture drawing. Loosen up :) Here's some busted looking sketchers for ya!

New Thing for your Things! Been meaning to do something like this for a while.
Rules are the same as other bases: please leave my signature on and add your own separately, but apart from that do as you like. Selling adopts is fine, making characters is fine.
Thanks guys! Enjoy!

Buttons, zippers, closures, halflockfolds! Brushes to make our lives slightly easier doing outfit details.
And a bit of a sneak preview of the base I'm cleaning up for release right now. Should be done in the next week or so, and will pop up for the $5+ tiers.
Thanks for your guys support ^_^

This pack kept expanding, not sure why I haven't done something like this before! Enjoy a few types of beads, gems, and some handpainted loops for rings etc.

Etching is a highly ~* a e s t h e t i c *~ traditional print making process which involves using strong acid to eat away parts of a sheet of metal.
Or you could just download these brushes and photoshop action and go nuts <3 Use the included action to create authentic bleed effect on your linework layer/s.
Enjoy!

A brush pack I've meant to make for a while. Instead of attempting to stamp rigid scale shapes onto your painting these add a bit of impressionist detail that feels scaly when used right <3

My brush set was NOT CREEPY ENOUGH so enjoy these weird biologically derived textures and scratchy dark tangles.

Add some expressive inking tools to your kit with this mini-pack. I did a bit of traditional ink on paper work while I was off, and had a good time with how messy and unpredictable it is, so wanted to bring that into my digital stuff going forward.

Do your brushes have enough texture? Wrong! They don't!
These use some high res scans of paint and ink surfaces made into seamless textures. They'd be very impractical for fine details, but will help a lot in the early stages of a painting to stop things becoming lifeless early on.
Enjoy!

Brushes for quickly making pretty designs on your clothing, buildings, furniture, etc! I love stuff like this to save a bunch of time while adding detail to pieces.
These ones are vaguely inspired by art deco and classic Japanese fabric patterns, and were designed to fit in the TLO universe. That said they'd go well in any kind of fa...

Brush pack for this month is all about painting those damn walls and floors.
