Poll Results – Four couples walk into a bar...

So... in my defense, I did have backups. I had solutions in place for a two-way tie, and when it started looking towards the end of the week that a three-way tie is possible, I forged some plans how to resolve that as well, but that said...

This is not what I expected.

February Choice Poll – Spare Pairs

As the last poll was exclusively fanart pieces, it's only fair to give some space to my beloved brainspawn to balance things out. And since February is known for its love-related proclivities, this poll will feature several pairs to pick from!

February '24 Stream Report

I've recently had two streaming sessions, one for poll results, the other for official ANet obligations, and they both yielded some interesting results to munch through.

First was the poll stream, which was tied on Patreon, but Hraesvelgr accumulated a landslide victory through Discord votes.

Yeen Twins

I held a poll back in December where I asked you to help me pick two species to hybridize. Turns out you all have a type, so hyena and ocelot won without even having much of a contest about it.

And while the stream went through all the way back in January, I wen...

New Year Choice Poll: All the dragons!

Tis the year of the dragon (or it soon will be), and as I said earlier, I am itching to introduce some more dragons in(to) my life. So when I thought of the topic for this year's first patron poll, I gathered all the dragons I ever wanted to do fanart for and thought to let you give them a spin.

To keep things simple, I restrict...

Special Giveaway – Sketchfiles vol. 1

Offering: archival small books to a good home. They're well-trained and will just dutifully sit on shelf until touched. May cause joy upon opening, but the results are not guaranteed.

During the before-mentioned salvage operation, I managed to discover things th...

[Patron Preorders] Artbites pocket folio

I did promise that being a patron comes with the perks of first dibs on physical goods, right...?

So in brief: I will be offering these little things, pocket portfolios from a few years ago. B5 format, 35 illustrations on glossy paper. And as my patrons, you not only get first dibs, but also a neat discount. They'll either be up for a limi...

Wintersday 2023

Happy Wintersday 2023, and welcome to 2024! May it bring you joy and many reasons to hug your local equivalent of a sweater-bound skyscale.

This is a cleaned-up version of the sketch I did during the recent official stream. I mostly just wanted to ...

Stream Report – Dec. 27th Official ArenaNet Stream

I originally wanted to claim my usual birthday-ish spot for official stream, but then an opportunity presented itself to get the last streaming slot of the year. It went surprisingly well, too, I had nothing but the underlaying doodle and something short of 2 hours to work this, and I'm pretty happy with the result. Apparently all the wyrmling p...

December Poll Results

Greetings, kind patrons.

While you were (hopefuly) feasting and keeping to your loved ones, the December poll ran its course and the results for the new hybrid design experiment are in!

It was the first time I tried running a purely design oriented poll, a...

(NEW) December Choice Poll: Homebrew Creature

So, imagine making a poll and then forgetting it in your drafts... Anyways.

Edit: Imagine you are also a dumbass and get lost in Patreon's new settings, and you set the poll wrong so you have to publish it twice... (Sorry about that.)

I thought for a while what would I like the December poll to be, because the usual ...

Thank You

2023 has not been the easiest year for anyone, I think. But the kindness and support you guys have shown me at its close is something that will stay with me a lot longer than most of the ill news. I may not be capable of replying to everything, but know that every word is seen, it is felt and it is deeply appreciated.

I am definitely not d...

Stream Report – November Poll

Reporting the progress from last weekend's public stream, with topic chosen from last poll.

I had no idea where to take this where I started – whether to make it a generic pinup as the very rough doodle suggested, or actually try and do something interesting with it. And apparently, full illustration is where it will attempt to go.

November Choice Poll

I promised to bring polls back, and what better time to do it than right away?

This time around, you get to decide what I work on during the next weekend (25th and 26th) at a public Picarto stream.

This is the last poll available to all patrons, because it did not feel right to just cut people off on such a short notice. From next mo...

Important News (please, at least skim this)

A notice to all my patrons: I have news I need you to read and I will need your assistance.

Trust me, I absolutely understand if you're not all that keen on reading a wall of text, but there's information that requires sharing, so please, lend me your eyeballs and screenreaders for a minute or three.

In the briefest terms:

Pencil randoms

It has been a heck of a long time since I did any pencilwork (before the pandemic) and I am rusty as hell. But I managed to dig up some old sketches and I also made some new ones and... well, I do kind of miss these. I was never able to replicate this amount of fine control and graininess I love about pencils in digital. (I do miss me some free ...

Candy Crush

One of the upsides AND downsides of having to rearrange my online presence due to corporate whims is that I get to discover that I neglected to share things in places. I made a few pieces back when my Patreon had one of its longer pauses (when I started my editorial job), and with ArtStation and DeviantArt dying to AI stupidity, there's actually...

[Progresswork] Bright Blaze

I am not a big fan of the recent Patreon reworks, but they did lead to me finding out about some posts that were meant to be scheduled and either did not post, or I mishandled their setting somehow, so I will comb through them and get them up.

I've been a big fan of shaman Brightblaze ever since he appeared in That One Meta of Grothmar Val...

OCT '23 WIP – Flavors of charr

A lot of the PSDs I worked at over the Summer included charr (who'd've thought, I know), but none of them made it past the finish line yet.

The cubs were a bit of a whim, where I wanted to continue the idea from previous Summers, but I ended up being...

Ifrit is for life, not just for Christmas (+ bonus Ifrit shaming)

Listen, I know being a Dominant can be a curse sometimes; you have to watch your emotions to not accidentally gut a loved one or torch your city in a fit of rage or somesuch, but come on, it's a responsibility. Once it's yours, there's no takebacksies. Not like there's a shelter out there that takes these in, and I want to see you try throwing a...

[Patrons Only] Wyvern Tail Wallpaper

I was asked if I could provide a wallpaper version of the dragonet banner, so I thought "Oi, might as well share it with the rest of the class."

So here you go, standard 1920x1080 HD deal (Can't go full 4K, since I lost the original PSD file and the sizes I have available are not compatible).

Enjoy!

Dragonet doodles

July has been an incredibly slow month, with me spending most of it doodling various dragonets as I still ride my Final Fantasy XVI high (also fighting off heatstroke and trying to figure out what to replace Twitter with as the last vestige of my online presence). Unfortunately, most of my efforts were somewhat undermined when my brain reminded ...

Legacy

"I've seen men far stronger than him falter under the weight of their crowns. What is he but a meek, misfit boy?! His legacy means naught if he can't raise a sword to defend it."
