A Night in Tokyo

I am not great at backgrounds, but I love a moody neon city night photo. I’m pretty happy with the outcome of this... let me know what you guys think, too! Commission for @SylverTears on TwitterTotal time: 2.5 hours

TIMELAPSE - Winter Connecting Icons

AAAAND in this timelapse you can see how I used the Bloom effect to create more atmosphere with my lighting. ;)Thanks for watching! Let me know what you think!

Lots of WIPs

Mamow Ref with sketches

Okay first off, love calicos. I love drawing cats. It’s a GOOD DAY!!

Bringing back an old Lion King OC

When the live action movie came out, I binged the original series (duh). Lion King 2 was actually one of the things that got me into this fandom... I could (and still do) rewatch this movie over and over and over again.Plus, the soundtrack slaps. I remember listening to it on my Walkman!Anyway, this...

TIMELAPSE - RAIZU REFERENCE

timelapse completed for this rather simple dragon dog character!! I love a character with horns.... absolutely one of my favorite kinds of accessories.As for other timelapses, I will be posting them one a day until I run out and edit more. c':Thanks for watching, guys!

Eevee Character Concept

Doodled up this dummy concept for my character Eevee!! I traded for this character awhile back but she was designed by my friend Bratblush with some edits to simplify her design by me. I love her! Definitely going to use her to explore my more “spiritual” drawings.

Evil Villain Laugh

Commission with a rather dynamic pose compared to my usual. I don’t usually get characters with metallic limbs either so this was a bit tough. I like the outcome though!! As a reminder, patrons at $5+ see my personal artwork and character development sketches! 💕

TIMELAPSE - Patreon Promo Piece

Honestly I tried out a lot of new things on this piece! I used a ton of the brushes and pretty much any texture trick I've talked about from my #quicktips series!!Happy to answer any questions about my process as well! Don't be afraid to ask!I hope you're all having a good Wednesday! ^w^

TIMELAPSE - whowhenwhereKAT icon

Icon commission finished up for whowhenwhereKAT from twitter! I don't usually get to draw avian or beak characters all that often so this was a lot of fun.I recently found out about the colorfill option with your lasso tool in procreate and it's been a lifesaver for adding fill colors in a s...

Lightning and background

It’s amazing what lighting and atmosphere does for a piece. Here I created a desert background but per the customers request we changed it to a “night time” forest. ^w^

Melwolfiee Badge

Commission from my latest batch, for melwolfiee!! I wasn’t a huge fan of the initial sketch from this one, so I’m really glad I refined it better in the lineart stage. Sometimes you have a really pretty sketch and then other times it’s garbo. I’ve been getting into a groove now where I’m t...

ONE DESIGN LEFT!

Edit: first one is sold! Only one remaining is the second image! Two wolfwalker designs left for sale. I love these babies color palettes, especially the first. I’m also a sucker for fawn spots. They’re $18 each, comment to claim!

A couple rewards!

Two rewards I finished recently for Remy and Akykat!! Actually quite happy with these; specifically the outfit and the background. I might response these with some process images later today as well. !

Just a SHEP

Bust Commission for Grant_Shep on IG!! They’ve only ever had a traditional drawing of themselves so this was a huge step up for them and an honor for me.What a cutie!! 🥺💕

Faelan Hellhound

Hellhound / Helluva boss style commission for Faelan on twitter!! They liked my Boltie Hellhound and wanted something similar. I don’t know if it exactly fits “the show” style, but I feel like it’s not a bad try to seem similar but not copied. ^w^

BOLTIE'S UPDATED BRUSHGUIDE (2021)

READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION!!! Full brush guide is BELOWPlease keep in mind this is mostly PROCREATE focused -- since that's my program of choice!--HAPPY NEW YEARS Everyone!! With the start of 2021 it's time to create and compile an updated brush guide. I still use PRETTY MUCH every single br...

Wolfwalker designs (commission)

My friend Mocha commissioned me for some wolfwalker designed characters. I personally have a couple favorites but whatever she doesn’t choose will be sold here! Who’s your favorite? She specifically asked for warm browns so I included two of those and then I picked some random palettes from some...

That was... ELECTRIFYING!

Comic commission for swiftwind eagle on Twitter!! I’m so happy to have these big projects out of my queue so I can get back to work on regular commissions and rewards at a good pace.Saber is helping me edit and upload my timelapses (there’s so many, please prepare yourselves) so I’ll have thos...

S O O N

I’ve been teasing this for months, but FINALLY I’ve paid off my figurine manufacturer and mass production should be done in about a month!I know this is only my first time doing a “figurine” concept before. I absolutely will be doing this again down the line and improving on the things I’v...

Marksbarks Commission (&process!)

I’ve been dying to show WIPs of this commission on here but since some of ya’ll are in my Patreon I had to be extra sneaky!If you look at the second picture compared to the first, there’s a lot of finer color details along with a noise texture! Overall this piece took me about 12 hours start t...

Laughing

Nothing like giving some misery a little giggle

Aries Pin Concept

Pin concept I finished a couple days ago because i got into the headspace of thinking I wanted to make a couple of my characters into pins like this just for my own collection. If I end up funding them I’ll have extras for my store!

Shhh...

Sleeping 💤

Zzzzt! Comic WIP

Commission #2 for Swiftwind of him getting roasted by Boltie. Comic idea and dialogue is their idea. I have another big project I’ve been working on and will have updates for this month. Exciting merch that I’ve teased on here months ago perhaps 👀

Winter Pup

Commission for Sylvertears on Twitter! Absolutely pushing myself these last couple days, last night I finished 3 custom commissions in one day and that’s a huge feat for me! I try to aim to finish 2 owed things a day, based on my speed. It doesn’t always happen, but it’s an attempt. ^w^Anyway,...

Swifty Reference Commission

Sketch vs finished productCommission for whowhenwherekat on Twitter! Same person in my previous post. Absolutely love this character’s design though, I’m 🥺♥️💕

Skies

I’ve definitely been having a fascination towards the sky lately, more so than usual. Maybe I’m just being more receptive to the beauty of the world, too. Either way, more progress made on my queue! I have two “big” commissions to tackle this week but I wanted to try and knock out a couple o...

Cotton Candy Clouds (finished YCH)

This YCH was claimed by ZENNY on a post here a couple days ago. I’d like to offer another one of these quick turnaround cloud icons this week... so keep an eye out for another YCH! ♥️
