Jade 2023.11

took a while but have warmed up proper to making more originals, it's refreshing after years of mini horses and chasing trends. This might mean next year the stream recaps might be filled with esot...

Gold 2023.12

Big drop this go round. 

Digimon won and here's a first of the set. Theme idea for the digis is VR autojacker thingie. there are some centaur-like digis, i wonder how much it'll run afou...

Silver 2023.12

And here are, at the end of the year. could be better, got some rough patches plus a fresh ongoing noisy one.

One big change i can say with some certainty is a slight hiccup in inkings, as I ...

last note thing of 2023

Hey all, putting out an update on what's going on as we plod our way to the end of another year.

Polls done. the results are:
- more originals, which kinda circles back to how this strarte...

to-draw clearing poll: The big ones

let's kick this off, shall we?

before the A B C of the hodgepodge files, I think a large chunk of the overall can be trimmed by vetting the mega refs. Here are the big-time file monsters

artpack preferences poll

i guess it's about time i did another one of these, to gauge what you'd like to see more of. these are the few 'core' stuff, what i've been doing all along.

(FFFF more of a jokey wild card, i...

Jade 2023.11

A bit light on actual dev stuff. I feel like I don't have much else to develop after Lantern Garden, that's the biggest thing I got that I could write lore around. After the land layout, redo unifo...

Gold 2023.11

and the hotsauce of Weenquests. Thanks to all who participated, might do another round. dunno when, depending on how quickly i finish all the base-stuff for Lantern Garden.

Silver - 2023.11

Hello again, it's another month, and closing in on the end of 2023. Time flies, flew even faster when I was eager to forget a couple of noisy months.

So, this go round, Silver gets a coloring...

Jade - 2023.10

A bit more original thought, weather-induced downtime meant the brain had some free space  to think. I should refine Qari, give her a little lore and add her to my roster, get her ready for X-...

Gold - 2023.10

Trying something functional with my linearts. it was pretty late into the month, had to top off Gold somehow (I'm always short of lewds) and there was a comment on a submission about coloring my in...

Silver - 2023.10

phew, this took longer that expected. was technically ready to deliver but I chose to color Hann-Ryo main, and that ate up days as I had no coloring plan. Made decisions as I went along, it's not f...

Big Ol' r34 plans

Roight, given it some thought and while still rough, I have an outline. Strap in, this could be a long read.

sure, I could clear the refs myself, but I welcome and cherish some audience parti...

Jade - 2023.09

explored things in the downtime. thinking about how to repurpose old designs and the legalities of reusing them, literal flashes of inspiration, and pantsless vagentleman butlers.

it's been p...

Gold - 2023.09

Right, so, r34, what to do what to do. 5 years of scrounging and saving refs, feels a waste to just yeet  'em all into the bin. If I do put it up for a poll, how do I handle it; by character o...

Silver - 2023.09

Hey all, welcome back, after a well-needed but gone-too-fast break. Kinda lost my train of thought and trying to find where I left off. Got not much else to say besides "Lantern Garden" still has p...

Annual subscriptions, thoughts?

because i've met all the criterias, I've been given the option to use 'annual memberships'. Basicly pledge for a whole year in advance / 12 months from pledge start? the FAQ ia a bit vague on that ...

Jade 2023.07 - kobo FFFF dev

Got diddle squat on stream doodles this go round, much of it was spent coloring. So instead I bring development work. Because FFFF is treated to commission-grade, it's got similar of pre-visualisat...

Gold 2023.07 - So much kobold

I wanted to do some extra non-smol stuff for this but that might put me past the end of July, so this month's Gold is carried entirely on a wee purple kobbo's mighty butt. 

There's the m...

Silver 2023.07 - Ma'am hen & chainsaws

Right, to start, turns out my decision to pause August is timely. in recent days the heatwave is slowly creeping back in, that would make work difficult but I am prepared for. Small blessing I gues...

*drumroll* ... August Pause!

(this is a temp post, it'll be deleted when it's done its job)

Welp, I didn't want to pause this year, try to work it straight through but there's no predicting problems.  Like the heatw...

Jade - June 2023

I got nothing new planned out, too noisy or too hot, or both.

The plan is to stay the course, pick at the Garden in bits to at least make some progress. It's already half of 2023 and I barely...

Gold -June 2023: seabuns

Don't think I've made saucy slugbuns yet, so I did some. Could do with one more, a deep dive internal, just because.

Needs work but clipping mask has allowed for much more dynamic toon shadin...

Silver - June 2023: fishgoat

Thanks for waiting, sliding in on burning shoes and melted soles.

This has been a difficult month. Hot weather, drilling noises, falling sick again. Losing my sense of smell for a few hours w...

Chat stuff: tier retructuring

Some history primer: I've been at this since 2015. In the old days, Patreon's reward structure was additive, the higher tier automaticly has access to the lower tiers. It made for easier posting an...

Jade - 2023.05: Poke

Not a lotta stream things, the more coloring there is, the less stream time for doodles. Heatwave wasn't helping neither, hard to be creative when I'm being sauna'd.

In the grand ol' traditio...

Gold - 2023.05: Sum bun 2

Wrapping barkies / spriggans, the last inking volunteer from twitty and some bun-nana variety. Been a while since i did variants, color matching covers and swaps. kinda challenging, a lil tiring, b...

Silver - 2023.05: Lotta TZ

Got a bit hung up on my bun after trying out and wanting to check a design tweak: thicker neck, for brute-ier bun. It's been a goal to make her more feel more stout

also revisiting the hammer...

Jade 2023.04 - so many clipping masks

I've been abusing the clipping mask, working it into my muscle memory, and I couldn't trust myself to one-layer tone things in my sleep-deprived state. So the layers in these PSDs are gonna look li...

Gold 2023.04 - more inks

4 months into the year and I find keeping my resolution tough going. The temptation to keep bending the rules to say 'oh it's just a small thing' could easily end with a lotta small things.

O...
