A new set! It was a tough one trying to get things to look interesting but a little surreal. The balance was hard to strike but I think the result isn't too bad.
I hope you enjoy it and than...
Hello and hope everyone is well!
I'm doing fine health-wise, but things have gotten surprisingly busy in October in terms of catching up on lost time.
Fortunately, this are finally s...
Last sketches for now - it was a surprisingly challenging experience putting these together in this kind of visual presentation style.
Back to the usual full paintings next!
How is everyone?
I'm finally back and working on new pieces full time again! September was a bit of a tough month with a couple things out of my control that got in the way - fortunately, th...
I've been putting some time into making a few design sheets as and when I can. It's just for fun, but I do think it's nice to kind of make it "official" that this character exists (and now has a na...

This was such a tough set to complete, I'm just going to go lie down for a bit :)
For a change, what you do you think about these pieces? Do let me know in the comments!

July really flew by quickly, and it's almost time for August's tutorial poll!
For now, this is teaser for a slightly larger personal project I've been working on, it's going to be quite toug...

This month's video was decided by a poll here on Patreon, it was pretty close, but character design won out in the end!
In this video I tried to be a bit more comprehensive in covering some ...
Update: Process steps are now up, apologies for the delay!
Instagram also has saw it fit to delete this piece from my account, so in the future I will probably have to "censor?" stuff going...
Wow, it looks like we've managed to get through a lot of big and burning questions in the past few months!

This was a fun piece to do! Ironically, with poses that are less (extremely) dynamic, I feel it's actually more important to find references to help you nail down the body language. The subtlely ac...

After a couple of slice-of-life type illustrations, I wanted to mix it up a bit with something more fun. This piece was the result!
Overall this was definitely more of a just have fun and se...
This was a tough piece to finish satisfactorily! There were so many details and parts to making a setting like this work well that I actually felt quite constrained from doing much design-wise. Non...
