Nuki News #17 - Addiction to Twitter
Let me start by saying, I do really enjoy using Twitter! And I’m sure quite a few of you follow me on there as well! It’s no small part of my art life and business either. Recently I hit the 3,000 follower mark there, and about half of my commissions are from folks there. But I also think it’s...
Nuki News #16 - Work Ethic
Growing up, my mother had to take care of 4 kids by herself. We had seen the amount of work she put in to get where she is today. To me, her success came when she got her Master’s degree and finally paid off her student loans, and no longer had to work graveyard/night shifts at two hospitals to ma...
Thank you! To Patrons & Ko-Fi supporters!
Read more to see all 38 portraits! Link to the full sizes below. :3I did these during a week off of my day job, it was really amazing and fun to get to stream and talk to folks while working on these. Sadly, I cannot get a week off my day job every month, but perhaps I can do projects similar to thi...
Nuki News #15 - A Story Worth Telling Part 2
Thanks to folks here and on Twitter and in private conversation, I decided to take action on a particular story idea I had many years ago- a decade, in fact. I took a week off of work to make the time to do this, and these are the results of that week! But for context, if you're just joining my ...

Woo hoo! It's that time of the month, where I answer questions from my $5 tier patrons. :3 Thank you Sunny, Regdeh, Gorgilisk, Danuki, and Bryno for your questions!Ah man, infinite money sure would be nice. But so would be invincibility/infinite health. xD For the sequence, maybe it’d be ^ ^ v...
Nuki News #14 - The 2 Minute Rule Applied to letting go
I watched a video recently about the 2 minute rule! With last week’s conclusion that I need to let go of my expectations with art to be more loose and free and true to myself...it just takes something as simple as being ok with a terrible drawing. So every day I’ll spend a minimum of 2 minutes i...
Ko-Fi!? Streaming?! Free Portrait sketch?!
Just wanted to let Patrons know ahead of time, you're eligible to a portrait sketch of your Fursona if you show up to my stream I'm hosting on Picarto from May 13th to May 16th! So set times, but it can range from anywhere from 10AM to 2PM PST when I start )that's 1PM to 5PM EST) Follow ...
Nuki News #13 - A story worth telling?
Here’s some concepts and art of….yeah, you guessed it, another story I have. I even had help from my dear friend Imagine Ink in writing the first chapter for it- all this was drawn in 2018. You know how it goes - you get side tracked, doubt yourself, and then don’t execute on the next step. Bu...
Nuki News #12 - Quantity vs Quality?
So, if you happen to have shown up in one of the last streams I had before I moved out of the old apartment, I was expressing a struggle I was dealing with on my approach to art, discussing it with viewers of the stream. It can be summed up as a debate between what I perceived as quality vs quantity...

Nuki News #11 - Moving: Luck and Toil
I didn’t need to cross my fingers! It’s done! I’m finally moved into the new place. Whether the place is good or not will ultimately be determined by how I make the most of it. I’m a bit desperate for normalcy to reform itself in my life, so I’m glad I’ve got these NukiNews posts to have...
Nuki News #10 - That’s 3 out of 12! How’s it going?
Yep, 3 months have gone by, and it’s been the roughest start of a year I’ve ever had the displeasure of experiencing, and I'm sure that goes for a lot of you. Though it’s mostly chalked up to the pandemic and having to move during it. My fingers crossed that 7 days from now I’m finally s...
30 hugs of Support!
Thank you for your support!We’ve done it! To celebrate a year on Patreon I’ve drawn hugs for everyone who pledged this month and commented on my previous Nuki News post or reached out to me. Drawing these hugs has really helped me during these hard times we’ve all found ourselves in. I'd g...
Nuki News #9 - Crisis and Calmness
So, there are some prompts I think about, and write down for me to talk about later, this being one of them. There is no shortage of tragedies in the news and social media, after all. Often I do what I can to avoid reading or watching these sorts of things. Not out of apathy, but more to protect my ...

Nuki News #8 - A Year on Patreon!
Well, technically a year since I made this Patreon account! I’ve learned a lot since then, and admittedly I’m excited to find out what Future-Me a year from now will have learned when he looks back on where I am now. I think that’s going to be the best thing about these NukiNews posts, getting...
Nuki News #7 - Why am I an Artist?
Wow, what an existential question for a title, haha! But not to worry, I’m not doubting myself or feeling blue or anything. The question was sparked after I had a conversation with a friend of mine about what it is I aim to do with my art. If anything the title ought to be "What do I aim to do...
Nuki News #6 - Blocking out Time
I’ve found myself having to suddenly rearrange some things in my life! Well, not too sudden, since we’d been planning on this happening for half a year now; I’ve gotten a new roomie! Not only that, around the same time(which was unexpected) my day job has graciously changed my schedule for me ...
Joy to the World
Click for more sketches!!So story ideas aren't something I come up with often, I have a collection I keep in my head for a while to marinate upon, and then at some point i try to take some kind of action on them, or I don't and leave them be.This story I'm just going to call "Joy to ...

Nuki News #5 - Food? Food.
You can probably guess I was hungry when I wrote this. You’d be right, too! As an artist that draws pleasantly plump characters, food is something that comes up often in conversation. It’s not uncommon for food to be in the fat-fur dialogue.I’m a bit different; it’s usually rare I do a pictu...
Nuki News #4 - January Review
So goes the first month of the year, already! It’s always hard to realize how time flies. This is going to probably be the more “new-sy” of NukiNews issues. It’s good to assess where you’re going and where you’re at. This year has a lot of changes in the first 4 months - I’m getting a ...
Nuki News #3 - Game Design my Game Plan
I’ve come to appreciate more simple designs in games. My boyfriend recently got the chance to borrow a GameCube to play Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. My boyfriend wanted to show me how, compared to the latest Fire Emblem game, 3 Houses, was a worse game, despite being released 13 years later. (Fo...
Nuki News #2 - Art Exercises
Previous Issue of Nuki News: https://www.patreon.com/posts/32996988In my pursuit to getting used to drawing on a laptop, I’ve been doing these exercises! There’s a huge difference(for me) going from drawing with a tablet on a desktop, to drawing directly on a screen in my lap. It almost feels li...

Gucci Nuki - Artie (Finished Illustration below!)
So, a sort of on-a-whim thing I came up with last week, was to do a series of images under the umbrella 'Gucci Nuki'! (Which was a lil joke thing me n some friends made last year)Basically, I take someone's sona, in their casual outfit, and then in a real fancy/gaudy outfit. I was thinki...
Nuki News #1 - Accountability; A mental shift!
Why take a chance at patreon like this? I want to give a bit more value for pledging, and that means giving more of myself.. If you’re here, you’ll be coming aboard my journey to being a successful furry artist. It’s a bit of an insane goal, but it’s 2020, why not? Thank you to those who hav...
NEW YEAR, NEW PATREON!(Tier Changes, new tier?!)
Hey everyone! Happy 2020, I've spent all of today, the 1st day of the new year, and I've decided I'm going to double down on Patreon in a big way.First though, I want to thank all of you who have pledged or followed me on this platform. It's been nine months since I opened the Patreo...
Figure Drawing - December
Wanted to share some practice stuff I'm doing while I get used to drawing on my laptop on the couch. My models are a nice cat lady and a fair tanuki lad!
More Laptop Sketches
It's still a ways off of getting used to using this thing, but it's a hurdle I'm gunna be committed to. I just think of how amazing it's going to be getting to draw on the couch or anywhere I want or need. At the same time, I can't get ahead of myself either that I get frustrated...
