Caiman Age of Wireless / Vulcan Badge / Izzy and Kris Bunny Stickers / WIPs

Today I woke up with a wonderful new. I'm officially an uncle!!!

It's the first baby in my family, the first grandkid of my mom. I'm thinking what kind of uncle I want to be, one who inspires and brings color, and for sure he will be getting a lot of cute furry toys, and I will force my sister to show him Bluey XD

It's a shame they live so far away from us, but it's another good excuse to be traveling that way long.

Well, for now I share you all the things I've been working on! It has been a season to advance stickers pack that I promised for Patreons from really long ago, and I still have so many to work on. Many of you know that is not my most favorite thing to work on, but I'm really doing them with a lot of love and taking time with each one of them, you deserve it. And my hopes is that once I clear my queue of stickers, I'll have a bunch of free time to finally, fiiiinallly, start that promised comic. Every time I decide "nop, I'm going to start with it now!" then I see my long queue of promised Patreon rewards and my wallet also needing some money and I feel like a monster wanting to work on a personal project.

Caiman Age of Wireless

Inspired by the cover album "The Golden Age of Wireless" by Thomas Dolby
For the series of pictures of the favorite Croc's albums.

I was listening the album while working on this piece. It is that kind of 80's synth-pop that I've been listening lately obsessively, that I'm sure if I had grown on that age I would have been even more obsessed with.

The cover art is as strange as this picture, there were many elements that I was copying while thinking "What am I painting here?", so it was like solving a puzzle.

Picture for Croc O'Dile

Digital. Procreate / Photoshop.

You can see the process from Procreate on a video attached on this post. Photoshop doesn't record the process so all the part of composition is missed there.

Vulcan Badge

This fluffy happy guy is Vulcan Riverwolf.

A picture intended for a badge, that was supposed to be simple but I was inspired to get it this painting style and add some happy clouds.

Another Patreon reward I was owing from so long, for Vulcan.

Digital. Procreate

See the full process on a video attached on this post.

Izzy Stickers

It's funny to see the whole pack of stickers of Izzy by me, I've been doing this pack for around 10 years, and I can see the evolution of style through them, at least it is very noticeable to me.

I added 5 new stickers to his pack, you can see them here:

And also, if anyone is interested how I work on stickers, I also shared the process video here, attached on this post.

Kris Bunny

Especially I was owing many stickers to Kris, but I finally could finish them all, and some extras as well. I don't know why I find especially fun to work on bunnies.

A new Telegram stickers pack that you can scroll and save here:

And I also saved it as video process, if you are interested to see a whole process of a 15 stickers pack. The part of adding stroke line and make separate files for each one was done with Photoshop, and it is not shown on that video.

WIPs

More stickers! Another pack for Kona Otter, some funny poses for his stickers pack.

And finally I'm working on a medieval-like scene just because, inspired on some castles I got to visit in my trip to Czechia, and also the fact that I'm starting a campaign of DnD as DM, and I've been reading a lot about this high fantasy world. This is going to be a YCH commission in upcoming days, whenever I finish it.

And that's it! As you can see, I've been working a lot, but again, in my own pace, resting a lot, and also because I want to split my time at working on the Confuror's conbook (one of my few responsibilities for my local convention this year, since I finally let go a bunch of the departments I was working on, I don't even belong to the board of directors anymore, and this feels so good!). And also keep working at planning on my DnD campaign, we had our first session past Friday and it went pretty good, I was playing with all first timers, which is so good for me since I'm for first time a game master.

That's it! As you can see, my mood is turning way better.
I'm sorry if I'm not replying so much on Telegram lately, for all these activities I've been leaving Telegram a little bit aside, but I'm replying whenever I can from older to newer messages, but so far while I'm writing this I have 86 unread conversations, so please, be patient with me! I still love you all!

Thank you so much for your support! As always, it means so much to me!
