Sure been quiet here. Lemme fix that real quick, have a peace offering of Burke and his wind troubles (and my struggles with Burke's junklegs ashfh)
There's not much to tell, though. Trying to get into the swing of things, got myself into sketching to cope with accumulated stress. Worked like a charm haha

What I don't like most about being constantly on edge is how strange my mind perceives the time. It's been a week, but it feels like only three days have passed. What was I doing all this time, have I done anything worthy at all is a pure mystery. This is plain stupid. Motivation dropped to zero. Back to this swamping condition I existed throughout 2021. Nevermind this is me just thinking out loud 'cause I lament my wasted time asfdgasf
Ever since I can remember my artistic path, I have never had a character that shared this mutual connection, this intertwined bond with me. No fursona, no mascot, no one and nothing that might lead me to point a finger at and say "oh it's me alright" haha So I genuinely admire folks who have this kind of bond and embrace it, going after some art. To keep bad mood at bay, to share the joy creating piece by piece, so to speak. Sometimes I feel like I'm some kind of unemotional yet super-anxious stump who needs a good reason to draw something for myself. (this thing here is also an enormous problem for me and sty. Us being coauthors always ends up with her generating a dozen ideas and me sitting and wondering why is it necessary. Good thing sty is a patient one asfkfk)
I can't find a solid answer for my questions whenever I think about what could be done with this challenge. So... I have created this faceless nothing. Those folks who follow me on Twitch (and most likely those who have seen the animation of three dogs I have there) this _thing_ and its entourage might be familiar

A bunch of recentish sketch pages! All characters belong to their respective owners.

I have done none illustrative commissions in what feels like ages (for about six months? or more than that? or less than that? hoo boy) so it's kinda been refreshing to get back in the saddle and do as I figured what I do best. The story of how I ended up with a commission despite my ongoing hiatus w bigger pieces is quite tedious but all you folks need to know is that yours truly has a full Adobe package for a year, a happy customer and an interesting pic themed by 50s mobster business in the making!

So here's a side-by-side comparison of PFTL and IDCoW's Evans and Burke. In case it hasn't been obvious, they are different! Sharing some traits in common though. Guess I should make sty post some written stuff in discord since our Patreon is closed now and there's literally no other place you could check on any info regarding said uh projects and characters

Spent some time on figuring how to make my brain avoid usual pipeline so I could offer relatively cheap commissions with a quicker turnaround than my regular, requiring dozen steps of preparation and polishing, stuff. I miss working on bigger pieces but as of yet I can't offer those to public hence me being pretty discreet about my openings lol I really admire artists who can make simpler stuff work but, as much as I try, I personally end up liking my elaborate pieces better. Art is hard and I hate it so much sometimes ahashfh

And frankly said elaborate pieces I adore are kinda on a verge of complete reshaping right now. The thing is that I have this annoying hitch called not liking the way I do things, a scourge of artists. And this... this has been calling for a change
This portrait of Evans is uh if my memory doesn't fail me is almost a year old now, so I thought it'll provide a fine example especially if I attach a newer one (not properly finished but still!) next to it. Took me long enough to gain these little crumbs of courage of establishing what personally I, as an artist, would enjoy seeing from my art
