Patron sketches copy

As you can tell by the image, I'm temporarily closing monthly sketch themes to catch up on commissions and various Patreon projects (Including patron requested sketches) as well as take time to do personal sketches. Additionally the reason I decided on this is because there's going to be a lot going on this month, even for a typical December holiday.

Not only do I plan to change the monthly sketch motif a little bit by next year, I'm also going to rearrange my commission prices to take the upfront charge into account, because at the moment it's looking a bit messy. Depending on your outlook, this may look like I'm making the commissions that tad bit more pricy, but I'm hoping this streamlines the process much better.

And with that, I wish you all a Happy [Appropriate Winter Holiday] and a Better New Year.

So since this is the start of a new month, and I literally cannot go outside for anything anymore, I figured I keep everyone up to date with what I've been doing;
First and foremost, I'm happy to say that the first issue of the Alvah comic is now complete and in a print-friendly layout. The next step is to take a review copy to my local comic store (whenever the quarantine goes down) Production on the second issue is on the shelf until then, so I may be opening up comic page commissions in the mean time.
Speaking of commissions, I'm also opening bust commissions for half the price of my regular commissions. I've already made a load of busts as examples so if you're interested, send me a note. 
Finally, I want to make a shout out to my other sites that I'll likely be wondering about in more. If you're in any of these, give me a watch/follow; you won't regret it!

well, well. It's been a while. Yeah sorry for not keeping this place as active as some would like. The truth is it's getting harder to update this page with appropriate material, if you know what I mean. So before I post what will very likely be the last pic I put up on DA for the decade, I want to do the obligatory new years resolution type breakdown:

Progress on the comic:

Some (or I'm hoping a lot) of you may be happy to know that the first issue of my Alvah comic is so very close to completion. I only have the one page literally all I have to do is colour it in. Looking back, I realize I may have made a huge mountain out of a... relatively smaller mountain. Because of this, I'm planning on restrictions moving forward. I'll explain this in detail to my patrons when the time comes, but for now lets say the next installments of the series will be shorter and have at least one pair of extra working hands.

Character art:

One thing that's been bugging me in the tail end of the year is that I haven't been able to do much with my own characters, not even Alvah and Leah. I do plan on changing this moving forward. I always tend to come up with fun scenarios with my guys and gals and it's a real shame I don't get to put them down on canvas, not even as roughs. So that's just what I plan to do, get more rough sketches down of my own characters and put them up on my twitter. Hopefully, this will encourage me to fully render one and upload it here.

Commission Prices and Patreon pledges:

There's going to be a small shift in the commission prices, nothing too drastic, but it'd be an attempt to make my higher tier stuff more tantalizing. Plus, I'm going to amp up the job hunting, so the hours I put towards the comms would be more valuable. As for Patreon pledges... They're staying the same. Yep. Want to help support my endeavors for cheap? Go right ahead.

And that's all I have to say for future plans. Hopefully I can keep by them, but worst case scenario I'll stumble upon this in the future (hi, future me!) and realize what I was gonna do. I've had a pretty solid decade, and I hope you guys have too. See you all in the 20s!

Hey Folks! It's been a while since I posted anything, but I wanted to make an announcement before the end of the month. I want to jump onto Inktober for the year, but I'm not sure how to do it while making appeal at the same time, so I decided to do a sale on Inked Commissions.
So, throughout October, All Inked Commissions will $10 initial price! (Instead of $20)
If you guys want to see some examples, I've put them together below
