Big Birthday Weekend

Posted on by

As of writing this, I’m now 31 years old and introspective about my art journey so far! I continue to tackle new conventions as I keep my head on a swivel! I’ve been sketching small bits of art on my social sites over the month, but I’ve kept myself busy going to cons, taking other art commissions and recording livestreams!

I’ll be honest and say that we haven’t made that much progress on Blackmask from last January to now. My programmer took time off for a vacation, so he’s been away from his computer. I myself have been taking other art commissions and streams, but we’ll be in touch with majors changes as soon as possible. I’ve been sketching small bits of art on my social sites over the month, I’ve been sloppy about posting my art here in a way that is an easy to find.

CYBERYEAR 2023

Posted on by

I’m proactive with my new year stuff since the middle December because waiting for New Years to start making real change isn’t necessary! My video game, Blackmask is making baby steps getting new backgrounds and assets drawn. You can check out my monthly report on the Blackmask Website! Beyond that, I’ve been busy building up my new year!

Simple Art Practice on the Go

Posted on by

To help people out with their New Year’s Resolutions of learning to draw, I thought I’d drop in my two cents on getting started or getting into it.

Mini Sketchbook Pile B

A concern I find is the lack of time to draw. When I’m always on the go and away from my drawing desk at my day job, having a small sketchbook helps me jot down ideas!

Into the Winter Grind

Posted on by

One month left in 2022! Time has flown fast for me! I’ve been trying to stuff as many of my art projects into the month as I can while keeping my sanity!

New Website

The first big thing I can say in November is that there’s now a new website for Blackmask and news of its development! This is a large task that’s been taking up my time. Even if I’m getting things down on this website, there’s still much to learn about self-promotion.

Blackmask Website Debut

I will say to join the Blackmask Mailing List! It’s a direct way to get news of our progress without missing any of my posts due to algorithms. Now that the website is set up, it’ll be less confusing for anyone who’s been following my website and getting unrelated news.

Sir Keely the Bird Knight Illustration

Posted on by

Sir Peer Keely is a royal knight of the Kingdom of Seraplume. Together with the mighty Blade Wing Knights, the plucky bungling budgie hero dedicates his life to protecting the Kingdoms of Sopranado from the rising menace of Sky Piracy!

This is a blog post about my process of drawing my bird knight illustration. It was a struggle, but I pushed myself to complete my art piece. After several months of self-doubt, I finished this Bird Knight Illustration. I juggled this drawing between the Procreate App and Clip Studio Paint to complete this artwork.

Conventional Conclusions

Posted on by

This month has wrapped up my convention stuff, so I’m hoping to get more work on art for the rest of the year.

I’ve felt like my schedule has been out of control and my work output has suffered for it. Not only that, but I feel like I do clerical crap more than I draw and while it’s necessary, I hate doing it and I feel like it’s punishment for not doing art.

September & October Sketchbook 2022

I have a new sketchbook on my Ko-Fi Shop for September and October!

Likewise, I skipped a month as I didn’t draw enough in my mini sketchbook that month and I got self-conscious about it.

Now I have a 56-page PDF Collection of my raw scanned sketches! Enjoy!
