Collection: June 2022 Sketches

This post will contain a collection of works created during the month and update over time. Though a few pieces might still only be found in the Dropbox Archive.

[Blog] Closing out the month

Dropbox  -  Sketch Collection  -  Concept Art  -  Game Dev Trello 

This was a quieter month than April, but not an unproductive one. I produced a lot of ...

Genderswap - Demons, but of a different kind

Recent Poll Results had Arataki Itto in the lead, winning by a landslide. Typically, I'd feature a secondary character - the one in 3rd place. But in this case, I choose the 2nd place winner, since mother other options were basically tied.

Anyway, don't forget to eat and sleep.

[Blog] Vampire Killer Engine - Current Features Preview

I've spent most of my creative time working on a Castlevania Engine in Gamemaker, with plans to create an Elayne Beaumont game. The intended scope of the project is currently small; just a single level for now.

Thank you for your patience, since it does mean I'm pretty quiet some times as a result. It seems like I'm sticking with game development, but I don't have a lot of experience sharing this type of work as content. I don't keep up with other game devs, so I don't know the best way to provide updates and maintain engagement when w...

[Concept] Vampire Killer Beaumont #1

So, yeah... I've been recreating Castlevania within GameMaker recently. Though I intend to pivot towards the direction of Elayne Beaumont, I'm just focusing on the engine using pre-existing assets for efficiency. I've shown some of that earlier this month.

I'm not an experienced game developer, even if I have dabbled before... So I want to keep the scope of this project small. Maybe just a level or two as a proof of concept. I'm going to use this Concept Art post to talk a bit about this project.

[Blog] It's quiet... Too quiet!

It’s been quiet lately. The freedom to spend my time as I’d like is great, and there’s still a lot of content, but it’s always worth identifying weaknesses in a system. Especially since this month does feel a bit less exciting than April in terms of content.

So, I’m going to run a short voting poll for $10 patrons soon.

It’s not much, but it will offer a little bit of engagement. I should really resume commissions (so I can afford rent), but they really take away a lot of my time for other creative pursuits.

It's a Secret to Everybody...

Quiet week, huh? But not an entirely unproductive one - just not in regards to my usual type of work. I do appreciate your patience during that time, seeing as I wasn't providing a lot of what you're actually supporting me for (but perhaps my previous productivity the last few weeks makes up for it).

Of course the plan is to eventually build an Elayne game, but I'm just focusing on creating a working engine based on Castlevania (as close as I can get), so I can use pre-made assets. I've dabbled with GameMaker before, but I fell out of ...

[Blog] Month Complete

In the recent Concept Art post, I unveiled a portion of the 1st draft for the upcoming Beaumont comic – it...

Beaumont #1 - First Draft Begins

This post will feature a bit less art than you're used to, but it should still suit the vibe of our Concept Art reward tier, which is all about the development of ideas, after all.

I used the previous week to work on an outline for the next major Beaumont comic (which I have been struggling with for a year). I recently finished the outline and have a good idea of everything that needs to happen. Now, I need to create a proper script. 

So, here's a...

[Blog] Week 2 Complete

Dropbox  -  Sketch Collection

I'd like to focus my efforts on this month's Concept Art post and working on the script for my upcoming Beaumont comic, as well as any additional planning for my work. That means I expect the rest of this week to be fairly quiet, unless I'm hit with sudden art inspiration. But since I've been very active lately, I don't think anyone here wil...

Easter Bunny Elayne

I don't always manage to get these sorts of seasonal illustrations out - in fact, I concluded that I wasn't going to this time either. I was so exhausted this weekend... But, I managed to muster out enough strength to get this done last minute.

Don't forget to eat & sleep.

Legend of Zelda

It's been a while since I've drawn any serious Legend of Zelda artwork, so here's one. It's on the simpler side, but a bit more rendered than my usual works. This style of art sure takes a long time to make, but I was still a little lazy even with what's here.

Don't for get to eat & sleep.

[Blog] Mid-Week Update

Dropbox  -  Sketch Collection

The quality of this month's work has been solid, so it's already better than prior months. The additional freedom really helps improve the art, while commissions have also helped to pad out content during the week. 

That said, I need to start growing the Patreon, because that consistent value won't matter a whole lot if I can't at...

[Blog] Week 1 Complete

Dropbox  -  Sketch Collection 

It has been a productive week (with 16 unique artworks in the Dropbox Archive so far). Not bad for our first week working under the new format, but we’ll see if the quality holds moving forward.

Unrelated, I’ve been (intermittently) outlining the next Beaumont story over the last few months.

It has been tricky because I...

Collection: Apr 2022 Sketches

Just as with previous months, I will share all of this month's sketches here. This post will update over time as I produce new content.

April is Upon Us

Activity will resume shortly, and we will pivot towards our new creative direction.

Here's what to expect, if you need reminding.

• I need to take A LOT commissions every month. So, I'll be streaming more often.
• My artwork will focus on creating comics and artwork to reach a larger audience.
• As a result, voting polls & sketch requests will be less frequent.

I have moved into the new apartment a few weeks ago and my monthly exp...

Moved In

Moved into my new apartment on the 15th. Internet has been set up, and so has my work desk.

I don't know if my internet plan is good enough to serve my needs, so it may take a while before I'm certain. My career and daily life consists downloading & uploading files and heavy data usage, so I'm unsure if it's enough - which may affect streams in particular.

Most of my stuff has been moved, so I have no plans to return to my old home for anything still there. There's still a little bit of unpacking left, but I expect to be rela...

Apartment Availability Date Confirmed

Just received confirmation from the landlord; my new apartment will be ready on March 11th, which means there will likely be radio silence leading up to that date, and maybe a bit afterwards.

[Suggest] What do you want to see drawn?

This month's theme is: Free-for-All

I'll be busy preparing for a change in residence and I don't currently have any creative plans for the month, so I'm offering you the ability to suggest content.

I am not promising to create any certain amount of content, but I will pick a few ideas from this post to draw when I have time to do so.

What do you want to see drawn? Whether it's a character or concept.

[Blog] Closing the Month out

February has come to a close and I appreciate your patience. I would've liked to draw a few more pieces, but Elden Ring has distracted me more than I expected it would.

So, like I mentioned in the previous post. The apartment I'm moving into won't be ready until the 15th, so I expect I'll be busy handling a lot of stuff around this date, like moving my stuff and setting up internet. Due to the overall uncertainty in how this will affect my schedule, I will feature another Sketch Suggestions post in March.

After I've settled into ...

[Blog] Current Status & Future Changes (Updated)

This is probably one of the heaviest blog posts I've made in a while; just some thoughts I've been having regarding my career and the changes my life will soon undergo.

Blog Contents:

• My Plate is too Full
• Stance on Voting Polls & Sketch Requests

[Concept] Megaman R63 - Early Attempt

This isn't quite as thorough as the usual standards for concept art posts, but I'm slowly getting back into them as my time permits. So, I don't have a whole lot to say - but it does give you an idea of an idea I'm playing around with. I'd like to bring more value back to this reward, as I feel it's been lacking for a while.

I expect to mess around with it more in the future.
