Been working on this pin for awhile and it was SUPPOSE to be ready for this mid month but I know it wont make it because I raelly struggled with adjusting the face structure with the closed eyes. I had to reteach myself, especially since this one has tabby patterns so the structure is important.

Sharing some progress since I'm really busy prepping for a local con and won't be able to finish this till after. But the lineart for the cat is done at least. Trying to decide on the cup color this time. Might change the eye color too but I picked it based off of photos for orange van pattern cats

I am attempting to do Gen2 starters for the next charms (then Gen2 Legendaries) but OMG I struggle with Totodile. I've sketched it a few times and I THINK I'm almost there but it feels off. It's hard cause it needs to be chibi style. I think maybe the head is too wide?

Was sketching #theamazingdigitalcircus characters to try and plan some stickers. Not sketched them before so its a bit challenging.

Please be warned about scammers, people. I assume this poor persons account was hacked. I was already wary of it but then I found the EXACT first sentence in someone elses instance of their mutual being hacked so there ya go-

If anyone is curious what the original looked like and how I had to play with it: here ya go. Note the mouth and eye changes are likely SO SLIGHT no one can really see it. But I think overall it probably makes her eyes less intense and fixed things. The shading/lighting and tones were the main issue

Went back to one of my #WoW headshots that I both finished and DIDN'T finish because I found that something seemed off. Like the skin color was too orange? I tried to color match the WoW model and it always felt off. I tried touching it up as well as modified line color and shading.

I did this YEARS ago (file says 2017 so I guess thats when I did it?) And I can finally share it. It's pretty old now but I always wanted to show it off because it was one of my few complete #WoW arts. It was for a friend of mine. I'd love to revise it some time with a better Mucha inspired BG.

HEADSHOT COMMISIONS OPEN!
I wish to save money up for a tattoo dedicated towards me mom, so I am opening #artcommissions for headshots. Typically I do these for #WoW #warcraft characters but anything is fine. It would be 50 to 70 CAD depending (Difficulty like horns add cost). You can DM me here.

Having to think about some of these, as I'm in my late 30s and it occurs to me some OCs from middle school/high school cause some of these to fill. I think theres one character from middle school I can classify as a mary sue.

lol I LIED I needed to fix the cup again so it's shape was more accurate. I realized when I compared it to the Espurresso cup. Although the handle is bigger, I mostly just wanted to make sure the cup base was correct.

There we go. VERY minor change to the cup shading to make it a little less flat but I feel better now.

Progress on the colouring. Struggling with the shading here and deciding on both the cup color as well as the tones I use for the black fur (as you can see it's VERY light right now)

She's not exactly the smartest..and kinda assumes she's leader and take command (She's not. And she cant) purely off of her fathers position/role. Her first mate was gained by a bet to "beat the enemy" purely on viscious mockery. He's very patient with her. Unfinished Park and Rec reference:

So I draw my Warcraft OC all the time, so I would think she's my favorite..but I made a DND character for my first and only DND campaign that did NOT go on long enough and she is dear to my heart. @sitaart.bsky.social did a little art of her once.

Progress on the Meowcchiato pin. I'm still concerned with how the cat isn't kitten enough, which is my goal for both the Macchiato and Conpana themed cats. But I wanted to get a general lineart done at least. I figured I could refine it afterwards, rather than getting stuck on the face forever.

Trying to work on the "Meowcciatto" pin. AS PER USUAL, I am overcomplicating the art now because the original was so cartoony when I came up with the pose. And it needs to match the other pins. Kiiinda struggling cause this needs to be a kitten. I think the head needs to be bigger..

Trying to make a "Meet the Artist" image. I need to add it to my display at Makers (creative dedicated store in Canada. Location recently opened in Kelowna, BC)
Thought I'd include my cat Pixel. He's a BIG boy. (I gotta figure out how to draw him..)

I love them both but I have this special bond with Pepper. When I come in for a visit, if he's awake he IMMEDIATELY comes over and tries to get into my lap. I can call him and he'll come over. Sometimes, as I wash my hands (before petting cats), he'll be at my feet pawing at my leg to hurry up.

I haven't shared this at all but I, sometime last year, offered to make wood pins SPECIFICALLY for our local cat cafe of their resident cats. I already sell my coffee cats there but I thought people might like them. I LOVE these two. They are the sweetest.
