Night Light / Shani commission, this one took a while to complete. A lot of stuff has been coming up that’s kind of slowed things down however just working on it bit by bit paid off. As per usual, tried a few new things. One thing i’ve always loved is the secondary lighting with Disgaea and other Nippon Ichi titles. Tried to go harder with the secondary lights and I think it looks nice.

Meowssy commission,  Finally finished this one up. Suffered a bit of delays due to a website client finally getting some information I needed sorted out and looking to have their website completed soon. Managed to get this done though, came out looking nice, the background was interesting  to work out, threw together a few textures to get a spacey type of ethereal look inspired by Final Fantasy. Onto the next project!

Finished commission of Morning Melody. Working on the trees for this was a challenge, a bit out of practice with painting backgrounds but I think it came out alright. This was fun to work on!

Patreon Sketch, Dorothy from Va-11 HALL-A. This was fun to work on,ended up making it look like she was doing finger guns instead of her cute little cheek thing. Still I like how this turned out. A few things I could improve on if I ever get asked to take this to full color. But for a sketch it was still a lot of fun to work on.

Results of tonight’s stream, got a lot of work done on this commission. I think at this point I can move onto sorting out the background. Once that is done I can work on final lighting and that should be it for this image. Trying something new with some hard highlights. Not sure if it works in all the areas as well as I had hoped but I’ll wait till I get closer to completing this picture to see how it works with the final look. I still need to  throw in her cutiemark, but overall I’m enjoying where this is going.

New Years Resolutions again!
Happy New Year!
Well here we are again, January of a new year and time to reflect on events of the part year.
Last Years Resolutions:
Continue to produce feel good art
Continue to grow and imrpove as an artist
Build up my art stream
Take better care of myself emotionally
Top of my resolutions list was to continue to make feel good art. I feel like I managed to accomplish that, between commissions and personal art projects I tried my best to make things have a light and cheerful attitude. As far as improving as an artist goes I suppose I have to admit that I was able to accomplish this as well. Taking a look at previous artwork and what I've created recently I think I'm getting better. I've picked up new style options and have gotten a bit better at creating backgrounds. As an artist this is a pretty hard thing to admit, It feels like I'm still not as good as I should be but I have worked hard to get to the point I'm at now. So I HAVE to admit to myself that while maybe it wasn't as huge of a improvement as I might have wanted or maybe it was and I just have difficulty recognizing how much has changed, I have made progress as an artist.
Grow artstream... well... This one was kind of difficult. It feels like unless you're drawing porn in general most artists won't get much if any attention. Both in general and on Picarto. So streaming and not getting much attention from my art got kind of depressing. As such it made it harder to want to stream work. To compound the issue when hurricane Harvey was approaching my area I had no electricity so I decided to take this time to catch up on some podcasts I had been meaning to listen to. Including Critical Role, long story short I recently finished catching up. So a lot of my time has been working on websites for clients and commissions while listening to Critical Role. So in an effort to help build up the stream I decided maybe using Discord for stream notices might be helpful. A lot of people I know have opened discords for stream notices and junk so I thought I would try it.
Decided to name it ArtJam because its still a project I believe in. ArtJam was meant to be a way for my artist friends and I to help motivate eachother to work on art more often and help eachother improve. As well as help keep eachother out of the well of depression that makes it harder to keep working on art. Its purpose is to motivate and push artists to improve. I still like this idea.
Take better care of myself emotionally, I feel like I have done this. I'm still trying to set myself up in a way that I can do art for a career which makes me happy. Previous years were really rough for me and I was having trouble imagining another 30-40 years living how I was. I haven't really done too much with my gaming stream, I did play through all of Doom and that was really fun. But I haven't been streaming games lately which I feel like I should keep up with. What I probably need to do is make some sort of streaming schedule and stick to it. Pick a few times a week to stream games and do that, then spend the rest of my time streaming art or working on my podcast projects. I have been working on a D&D podcast for a while now, wanted to record our weekly (more or less) sessions and after some editing and such post them up for people to listen to. While D&Ding has been fun our first game hit a problem when the story kind of hit a wall and we couldn't find our way to the next plothook. So there's a huge chunk of sessions where nothing is happening and it wouldn't be good for a podcast. I'll have to look at these again and see what I can do about them... Hopefully the new games will continue on well and I'll post those as well.
In all I feel like keeping the same resolutions as last year. Continue to work on art that has feel good vibes, improve as much as I can, and work on building up my streams. These will make me happy and in the end I feel like this is the main purpose of resolutions, to try and improve from where you are now.
If you enjoy my art and wish to help me attain my goal of supporting myself while working on kickass new art and projects to entertain you please consider becoming a patron!

Commission update, adjusted the sizing on the background elements to try and make sure the sizing on Morning Melody looks right. Also trying a new thing with making harder rim lighting, Have most of it in place  so next will be moving onto the primary lighting and background work. Always trying new things to try and improve! I hope this turns out looking good!
Also including some sketches of two of the characters from my D&D group’s Out of the Abyss game “Anime in the Underdark” Ar Zaram and Adian. Did some sketches to try and get a look going for the characters. Hoping this game does good and I can actually start posting podcasts from it sometime.

Thinking of opening a discord
Everyone seems to have one and it might help get the ArtJam project moving somewhere. Also being able to post stream notices somewhere people might notice more also seems useful...

Commission update, I love making backgrounds. Trying to make sure I don’t mess up the scale here. Don’t want the character to look huge compared to the background, so I need some large things in the foreground for comparison.

Setting up this image and trying a few new ideas after watching a bunch of WLOP videos. Find their method for painting interesting. Can’t wait to see how this turns out.
