CSMN - Mermaid Kathalia & Gwae

After a few months I finally finished this commission for Kathalia of their OCs Kathalia and Gwae as mermaids, simply hanging out!

Anyhoo,
~Enjoy!

Request Stream Sketches - 10/23/21

Here are 3 sketch requests done during latest scene thanks to Ko-fi donations! This was Halloween themed, so we got a succubus and two sea witches... getting close! XD

Anyhoo,
~Enjoy!

Genie Fem - Brush Colored

Due to sketch's popularity (and liking it myself), I decided to refine and color this drawing of Genie Fem who is normally a mermaid.

Special shout out to TellyToon for the original request idea via Donation Stream! ^_^

Anyhoo,

~Enjoy!

Request Stream Sketches - 9/17/21

Here are 3 sketch requests done during latest scene thanks to Ko-fi donations! Been a blast doing these, and was surprised someone asked me to draw my mermaid character but as a genie!

Anyhoo,
~Enjoy!

Request Stream Sketches - 9/10/21

Here are 3 sketch requests completed during Friday's stream!

Hoping to do more in the near future for streams!

~Enjoy!

CMSN - Lamia Lyn

Commission done for Z-ray from Discord.

They requested I draw their OC Lyn as a Lamia.

This was the first commission done in the new brush like technique I've been experimenting with. I'm liking the organic results, but I really made it hard for myself when making the snake underbelly! XD

Anyhoo,
~Enjoy!

Tahie-Po - Villain Re-Design

So when revisiting the Niman Anthology, one of the series of stories has a villain that I came up with back in 6th grade. His design remained the same for a long time, but after 20+ years, I finally did some brainstorming with a few creative friends and redesigned the crazed rabbit, Tahie-Po.

The old design (2011) was made back in my earl...

Stacy & Mathiese

Finally finished a personal piece that I really wanted to draw. It's of my favorite dog-like alien couple, Stacy (Right) & Mathiese (Left).

This was a surprisingly heavy piece to finish using and expanding upon this toon brush style approach, but I am really happy with the results.

Attached a close up to their faces, as well as...

Stacy & Mathiese - WIP ver.1

A Patreon exclusive preview of the sketch and brush lines I made for a personal drawing I'm making.

Once colored and rendered out with brush style toon shading, I think it's gonna look really cute~! :3

Anyhoo,
~Enjoy!

1-Hour Anim Challenge - Hair Flip

Decided to try the #1houranim challenge, this week's topic being "Hair Flip". This is what I was able to put together in less than 60 minutes.

Not perfect, but this was fun to do. Definitely wanna do more in the future for it may help me animate traditionally faster. And who knows... I could rough and clean this up further. ;)

Anyho...

Brush Line Practice - Young Woman

Practicing the new technique a little. Just a random young woman, but kinda wanted to give her a little bit of a 90s style hair.

Anyhoo,
~Enjoy!

Sample of Demon Girl

I've been practicing with a new coloring and brush technique, and wanted to practice humanoid anatomy. Also, got a soft spot for playful demon gals! lol

If you become a patron at ANY tier level, you can see the full body on my official Discord Channel. It's tasteful, nothing too 'adult', but there as an exclusive.

Anyhoo,
~Enjoy...

Wing Monkey - Zuki & Ekiri

When your best friend and roommate offers to be your wingman, or wing-monkey, it may not go as expected.

Saw a cute summer dress and wanted to draw Ekiri with something like it. Couldn't ignore Zuki either and so came up with this.

Playing around with the style some more and been having a bit of fun drawing these two!

Anyho...

Monkey Girls - Zuki & Ekiri

Focusing on drawing for myself and wondered what would Anime Monkey Girls look like so I made these two.

Zuki and Ekiri are roommates in their college-age. Zuki is an artist, who is quite outgoing and likes to express herself and learn. Ekiri is shy, a little insecure about her short stature, and struggles to find a skill she's good at i...

Mermaid Pirate - Ink Drawing Reward

"Would you be a dear and hand over all your treasure~?"

A delayed ink drawing for patron, Saphaia!

Been super busy lately, but had time to crank this one out.

Anyhoo,
~Enjoy!

Tharkis Spell Mishap - Polish Roughs

A major stepping stone has been accomplished!  

During today's animation stream, I finished the polish roughs for Tharkis' commission of the catgirl witch having a spell mishap, and becoming more cat-like.

Hope you guys are diggin' it so far. A lot of work went into it and it's not done. Next stream I'm going to start inking ...

Fem Dance - 2D Anim - Final v.1

Working between freelance and commissions, I made this little animation of Fem, the tiny mermaid on my head, doing a little hip dance!

Wanted to go simple with the shading and highlights, but went further than planned. Still, pretty happy with the results and I say this piece is done!

Hope to do more little animations like this. ^...

Fem Dance - 2D Anim - WIP v3

Added base colors to the Hip Dancing Fem animation. All that's left is adding the shark decal to her tube top, add some shading, and it'll be done!

Anyhoo,
~Enjoy!

Done in Toon Boom Harmony

Fem Dance - 2D Anim - WIP v2

Saturday I worked on two animations. A commission and then cleaning this dance up. Got the main body and face done with the line art. All that's left is lining the tail swish, and then adding colors to this little hip shaking mermaid!

Been loving doing animations as I stream. I wanna make a habit out of it!

Anyhoo,
~Enjoy!

Fem Dance - 2D Anim - WIP

During a 6 hour stream, I made this polish rough animation of Fem, the tiny mermaid on my head doing a cute, sassy hip dance. Took about 5 hours to get this far. After some tweaks, I definitely wanna finish this tiny animation! ^_^

Anyhoo,
~Enjoy!

Done in Toon Boom Harmony

Stacy - Expression Practice (Sketches)

Wanted to post a little something exclusively for patrons.

This is a bunch of sketches of facial expressions of an alien character I came up with many, many years ago, and wanted to revisit. Her name is Stacy and she's a Niman.

I had a lot of fun making these but didn't want to leave them as just personal drawings for my eyes only,...

Mermaid Chun-Li - Sketch Reward (Mar 2021)

March Reward for patron,  Bryon Conorich!

I was requested to draw Chun Li, from the Street Fighter series, as a mermaid.

Normally I take every other month off to focus on animation, but I was in the mood to draw this month and so was able to make a request for this patron!

Anyhoo, enjoy!

~Matt S.

Mizuki Ishikawa - Ink Drawing Reward (Mar 2021)

March Reward for patron,  Saphaia!

I was requested to draw their OC, Mizuki, a dolphin mermaid breaching the water in glee!

First ink drawing done for this year. Hoping to take on more!

Anyhoo, enjoy!
~Matt S

Jashin-Chan - Sketch Reward (Feb 2021)

February Reward for patron,  Bryon Conorich!

I was requested to draw Jashin-Chan from the Dropkick my Devil anime series!

I have many questions about the existence and lifestyle of this character, like... why, wait, what?

Anyhoo, enjoy!

~Matt S.

Merman Caspian - Ink Drawing Reward (Jan 2021)

December Reward for patron,  Chianticat10!

I was requested to draw Caspian from Brawlhalla as a merman. 

A simple request, I just hope I captured the personality of the character well enough. Also it's been a while since I've drawn an ink drawing, at least the way I used to.

Anyhoo, enjoy!
~Matt S

Fuuko Hugs Fem

A special gift for a long time supporter, KazeOceanTide.

I drew their character, Fuuko (left) hugging my character, Feminine (right) at Kaze's request.

It took longer than planned because I was testing out a new shading style, but I wasn't happy with where it was going, so reverted back to what I typically do for full color drawing...

Christmas Nulia - Sketch Reward (Dec 2020)

December Reward for patron,  Saphaia!

I was requested to draw  Saphaia's OC, Nuliajuk, a narhwal artic mermaid being a little festive for the holidays.

i simply gave her a Santa hat and changed her white clothing to red. I saw that's pretty festive, eh?

Anyhoo, enjoy!
~Matt S.

Mad Polar Bear - Sketch Reward (Dec 2020)

December Reward for patron,  Phil Adler!

I was requested to draw his character drawn as a Polar Bear.

I added the idea that his character who ran out of Cola soda, rages into becoming a Polar Bear, kinda like the Hulk.

Anyhoo, enjoy!

~Matt S.

Kitten Sisters - Sketch Reward (Dec 2020)

December Reward for patron, Skyhawk!

I was requested to their two new kittens in a similar style of Disney's The Aristocats.

I've never been asked to draw someone's real-life pet as a cartoon. A nice break from what I usually draw. Tricky to translate the breed of cat I was referenced.

Anyhoo, enjoy!

~Matt S.

Gwae in Snowfall - Sketch Reward (Dec 2020)

December Reward for patron,  Valentine!

I was requested to draw Valentine's OC, Gwaeron (or Gwae) enjoying the snow falling.

I've noticed that with this patron's requests, I've never done a quick color for them. Tis the season and figured I'd color quick for this piece, given this is the 2nd time I drew this character.

Any...
