May 2023 wallpaper
I thought I posted this back in May, but I don't see it on my patreon feed-- sorry about that!In general I haven't gotten much time to do much rendered paintings for wallpapers this year, so I have made some posts in the $5 tier viewable for all tiers as a compromise, I hope that is okay for...
skytober vectors
raw/high resolution export images of some of the Nemo art I did last year!my current process for doing art is to do the sketches in Procreate, the vector art in a seperate program, and then importing the png exports (these) back into procreate for compositing/adding brush texture/effects and final a...
Missing pieces
an old music piece I did for Margin (flash comic version) in 2014 or 2015, one of Ling's themes and supposed to be background/cutscene music, but I'll repurpose it for the game!
commission sketches
my commission process (from back when i used to take them) is normally digital sketch > trace onto watercolor paper > color with watercolor! this way it keeps the paper clean without having to erase too much (repeated erasing damages the paper)sometimes i like to color the piece digitally beforehand...

ARSON (sketches and vectors)
here's the files for the Sky animation I made a few months back! I've been experimenting more with full-lineless vector images for the assets (and just adding lines as I need them with the line fill tool), which helps a lot in keeping things modularFinished animation (and the flash source fi...

zine tips
some really rough tips and demonstrations from back in 2020 when @purplealmonds and I were organizing the HLD zine. not sure how helpful it is outside the context of that specific project but some of the stuff is common-sense enough that I figure I'd post em!
