September 2024 Patron Sketches
Saturday, November 2nd, 2024
Patron sketches again! I also did Drawtober, but I gave myself a mandate to just do pencil sketches in a notebook, and mostly concentrate on figure drawing, so I won’t be reposting those here. They’re free to view on Patreon, though!
Eight cards for six requests, and on time, too!
- Andria asked for birthday level-ups, and got this absolutely not from Mario 1up shroom
- Kelly prompted “raindrops and rainbows” and I feel like this was a predictable sort of result (sold)
- Jefferson wanted “endless swearing” and that much grawlix is quite the challenge to write! (sold)
- Kitty Nebula just because
- Eric wanted Dragon Fireworks and I had fun with it (sold)
- another just because….falling stars, fireflies in the rain, who knows? (sold)
- Amy B wanted good birthday vibes, so these cuties are for her
- and last but absolutely not least, SaraBeth wanted Pod as Beetlejuice, and while Poddlejuice refused to wake up for his cameo, he did agree to be in the sketch (sold)

Wyrm
Saturday, July 17th, 2021
Wyrm, 7″x5″ watercolor on paper
A wyrm is a type of dragon with no legs or wings, basically a giant snake that’s still gonna eat you for breakfast. This one is essentially the result of doodling, playing with shapes formed in a loose wash of paint, building up shadows and lifting highlights until the dragon emerged from the swirling mist.
There’s sparkle throughout but especially in the fog, and my favorite shape features heavily. Spirals in the fog, in the scales, in horns that lay flat against its neck.
Sinuous and menacing, this wyrm looks hangry and you look like a snack.

Above, you can see some of the pearlescent shimmer, and a close-up of our wyrm’s baleful eye. Below, he’s in a frame, awaiting his next snack.

April 2021 Patreon Sketch Cards
Wednesday, July 7th, 2021
Having standardized the sketch size to these pre-cut ATC/ACEO cards makes my life so much easier — they come in vellum for drawing, watercolor paper, and some cool new stuff like Yupo synthetic substrate. It gives me a lot of room for play! Which I did with several of these that weren’t for anyone specific, heh.
From the top left:
- Do Good Recklessly, a recent tumblr meme
- Capybaras for Rebecca S
- A wee Concentric doodle to play with some of my new watercolors
- Bats and Mushrooms and Sun and idk man, sometimes you just gotta paint mushrooms I guess.
- Purple dragon for Andria, who wanted to have a golden hoard of their very own, which was pretty easy since they are very wee
- Amy B asked for a kitten and got a blobcat with a Christmas tree tail, which is a feature of kittens of a certain age that I find delightful. It has brought you a mouse toy like the mighty hunter it is, and is all fluffed up about it.
From the top left:
- Amber asked for “seasonal (holiday) allergies” and I may have chosen to tease her husband.
- A is for Amy wants to play with her yupo paper some more.
- Roxanne asked for Falcon & the Winter Solider and apparently this is what my brain wanted.
- Rey asked for “conditionally huggable” and of course I had to draw a hedgehog.
I love my Patreon supporters with all my heart — thanks, you guys! You’re the best.
