WIP preview for my next piece. Small hint: it’s a redraw off of some official art from a short lived manga series.

Managed to put together reference sheets for the two queens of Gravity Rider. Even though I barely get anybody to draw most of my OCs, it’s nice to have this kind of stuff on your profile; wether it’d be for portfolio reasons or to give other artists inspiration.

Ever since I saw the new Godzilla movie about a week ago, I’ve been having a bit of a fun brain process of gijinka-izing most of the kaiju monsters. Part me is tempted on wether I should make a lil mini series about it, but I’m sure that will have to wait once I managed to gain more info and watched most of the older movies. (Looking back on those movies just makes me laugh at how hilariously bad they kinda were, and how far we have come by in terms of technology. XD)

After finishing the sheets, I’ve finally got myself to playing Splatoon for the first time! Right now I’m playing through the first game for story purposes, once that’s done I’ll focus most attention on the second game (since that’s were most of the fun is now. The first one still has a lot of players, but splatfests aren’t a thing anymore, so you won’t be able to get any super sea snails and such.) I think my main weapon will likely be either the Splatterscope or one of the paintbrushes, have yet to try everything since I’m not big with the fresh squids and whatnot, but one may never know, might find a weapon that’ll click with me eventually.

New art piece will come out in about couple of days (tomorrow for patrons), so hang tight and enjoy life while waiting.

Hey guys, just wanna let you know that I’ve been making a steady recovery after my brother’s passing. The ceremony won’t be happening ‘till next month.

We still have yet to plan on what we’ll be doing in terms of home plans, income sources, and so on. We’re taking things slow as of now and went to Santa Cruz for today. If some things come to work, I might plan to set up commissions and a merch store, for extra needed payment. 

I also wanna thank those that came by to give their prayers and support (especially from Facebook and Twitter), granted it will all take some time to get ust to, but it’s better to move on than wallow in your own sadness all the time.

Today is a black day for me. Not one to share a bunch of personal problems, but I want to get this off my chest and let you guys know what's going on.

My little brother ended up passing away last night from a seizure attack... He had a history of seizures before, but this one ended up being the kicker. Both of my parents and I pretty much revolved most of our lives on him, we did whatever we could to make sure he's safe and well, and the fact that he was still so young... It just feels too surreal and really unexpected that something like this would happen...

It's probably gonna take a while to get use to, but the best thing is to try and move on rather than wallow in your sadness. Art production might come a bit slower this week, I'll also probably have to work on finding some sources of income soon. I tried my best to care for him when it lasted, and now he's in a much better place...

Not much done for this week, other than some sketches of Roxie from a lil challenge I did on Twitter. They aren't the best quality I will admit; I was kinda having an off week due to home, body, and motivation problems, but next week will be more productive though, I swear!

Other than that, Picarto had put together a contest to where people draw one of their OCs along with their mascot. First place winner will get a prize of $300! My entry is also on there; if you guys want to, vote for my piece here.

I’ve been setting up for the next stream session, such as preparing a streamlabs link so people will donate to us while the stream plays, as well as making custom notifications that will play out when we get a new follower, sub, donation, etc. Restream chat will also be involved on the screen, so my dear mod won’t have to deal with the hassle of going from channel to channel to read every comment.

Not a bunch of sketches have been made this time, but did sort of an art challenge on my Twitter where people send me outfits and I make Erica wear them.

One thing I should bring up is that we’re also open for suggestions on what we should stream, wether it’d be games, activities, anything that would involve interacting with our community. Just anything to keep those that are watching not as bored from seeing me making art all the time. 

Another reminder is that people have ’till the end of this weekend before the Twitter art raffle closes, so those that want free art, it’s now or never.

About a couple of weeks ago, I put up a small lil art challenge on my Twitter, and the challenge was to make an ink art piece once a day of my favorite Pokémon based on their type. I’ve managed to finish the last of them today and thought I’d show them all to you, can you guess which pokemon’s which?

I highly recommend other artists to take part in this lil challenge, ’cause not only did it make me think hard on which Pokémon were my favorite, but it also helped with practicing different body types as well.

Don’t really have a lot to say for this update, other than progress is going on a nice and steady rate. Plan on maybe doing a stream for this weekend if lucky. I’m also planning on maybe starting my own merch store, have yet to figure all the exact details on what I’ll be selling (prints and t-shirts are a likely), but we’ll see how things go when they are ready.

Small reminder I want to make for “Ask the girls of GR” is that I will try to keep answers and such things spoiler free as possible, since the second chapter hasn’t been out yet. Subtle hints may be included, but nothing that could give away what will happen when I start it up again.

Also wanna say is that I’ve managed to reach 200 followers on Twitter and I’m currently holding an Art Raffle to celebrate. So if any of you want free art and have a Twitter account, feel free to enter. Rules are within the link itself.

With progression coming along nice a smoothly, plans coming out quicker than expected, let’s hope you all don’t get too overhyped for the stuff I’m gonna be making that was mentioned in previous posts.

First questions to both sides of Ask Carly and Phil, and Ask the girls of GR have been made as well, more questions will hopefully keep coming by as long as this lil series keeps going.

More art is in the making process at the moment, both digital and traditional-wise. Livestreams with Carly.H have been planned to be bi-weekly rather than once week; as well as the ideas I have planned in terms for what I should make for videos on both Youtube and Bit Chute.
