April Roadmap
🕑 Added 2023-04-01 12:00:09 +0000 UTCWell folks, it's been fun, but as you can see, art is a losing game and anyway my illustration career has clearly reached its dismal and inevitable end. But we still need money here, so WE ARE CHANGING THIS PATREON TO DOG POSTS ONLY.
It's the only thing that sells! My normal art gets me blacklisted on a daily basis, and after crunching the numbers and doing a deep, complex analysis of the algorithms and using predictive, AI-generative futuristic technologies, (in other words, a 2 minute search on Google) I have determined that friendly, tail-wagging, non-controversial dog posts are the only sensible way forward. But I don't want to get RID of my old art, so what do I do? Well... here goes:
Each month here on Patreon you can expect a new dog revision of my work. Behold! The NEW and IMPROVED look of Justingerardillustration!
...SO MAJESTIC!!!
Right now, Bucketpuppy is posing for most of these, but what with her "No-Work-Wednesdays," and "Take-A-Break-Tuesdays" and threats of strikes and unionization, it may not last forever. So sign up now and UP your pledge! IT'S DOG POSTS FOREVER!!
I'm kidding. I hope you are enjoying your April fools Day and with all the tricks (well, most of the tricks) out of the way, welcome to April! Here's what non-dog-related things we will be up to this month:
First, We have the 2 large battle scenes from the Auranith Ice Age project. I had hoped to share these last month, but wasn't able to get to because of the parade of elementary school sicknesses we have been afflicted with. Here is an image we drew last month for Fanstratics, but which also captures how I feel about this current bout of sinus-related nightmares my children have brought home with them:
Next we have a new Monster of the Month I hope to work on, based on last month's Twitch Draws stream: The "Frogtopus Key Maker," which with any luck will come with a new brush set. And of course, a new Fanstratics to look forward too!
Lastly, I have some new watercolor work I hope to share with you, and possibly even livestream if time permits. I don't want to say more, but it involves revisiting my old sketchbook Ents and Orcs.
Mentorships will be slightly later this month, on the following schedule:
- Monday, April 10th: 8AM EST - TAKEN

Looking forward to painting monsters with you this month!
