May 2024 Monthly Report

Hey, long time no see. i kinda dropped the ball on doing these so sorry about that! Let's get into it.

But first, friendly reminder, i do have (2) online stores! My Big Cartel is for US/CA and Etsy for UK/EU. Anyone can shop on the etsy store but if you can, shopping on my big cartel helps me avoid Etsy's aggregious fees.
I have a selection of stickers as well as prints, risograph prints, and original art from my show last year. I periodically add new sticker designs and print ideas. if theres something of mine you'd like a print of, let me know!

As of late, I've been delving more into my character designs for this larger worldbuilding/IP i have, to eventually take form through a game, comic, film, or all! Gonna start small with a comic perhaps. I've dedicated more time to the overall concept and a particular character, Ariadna, aka sniper gal. I've never really formally introduced her, but she is important to me! she is a love letter to early 2000s female game and film characters, Y2k + Millenium Futurism, transhumanism, and the android/human condition.
For the narrative she plays a role in, im still very much deciding on the macro and the direction i want to go in. Ariadna is a reconnaissance android, specializes signals and geospatial intelligence, long range firearms, and CQC. She resides and stationed in the Chilean arctic to inspect a phenomenon that interacts with her world in strange ways.

I have more plans for her, and other characters for this world. im very much in the blue sky phase where i'm just having fun and seeing what feels good.

I have more drawings and info on my portfolio about her if you're interested and my patreon includes development of this project as it comes along.

 VANCE SUBPRIME is progressing well! I'm commited to finishing this by the end of the year. I intended to having everything done by June but it doesn't look like it's going to pan out that way. As of this post, I am pencil page 24, with 8 more pages to go!

I got some new an exciting projects on the horizon so stay tuned. If you're interested in what's happening, sub to unlock access to process and get a glimpse of process, failed attempts, scraps, and thoughts. Any little bit really helps support these projects and keeps me going!

And now this is the end of the main news. I now talk about NSFW works so if you don't fancy that, now is the time to X out!

On the spicy end of things, I'm compiling a little zine of my spicier Half-Life drawings from the last few years as well as some new drawings and remasters of some old drawings! Working title I'm set on for the final is Smut-Life. It will be available on itch.io and for patrons of the $5 tier and up.

I've also informally started "sexy friday." Every few fridays of the month when time permits, i do a little lewd drawing on here in the form of pratice/study or fun as a way to explore erotic art. It's not meant to be this super formal thing, it's supposed to be pretty casual and kinda gives me an excuse to do some spicy fun and an extra bonus for patrons. I've developed a fun character for this purpose, inspired by Titanfall 2 pilots, valkyrie from Apex Legends, retro pilot gear and y2k/mod aesthetics i've called Pilot Babe for now.

 That's all for now, thanks for reading and see you in June.
