The Half Enlightened One

Captain's log 14022025

Hello from Australia! I've gotten here because of your help, thank you so much again!

Although the post of the last reward was a bit late, I feel good having been able to create it in time. Let's see if I'm this lucky this time around.

Here's this months contestants!

"Godzilla 2000 vs Brazil Gundam" ... Sick! I keep forgetting if brazil gundam is a thing of if I'll have to create one, that could be fun

"February request: letting Half chill while traveling" Aww thank you

"my Greek Goddess Aglaea from Honkai Star Rail" I really like her servants/companions look, pretty cool

"Catnap?" Catnap and their winning smile!

"everyone falling asleep because watching a boring ass movie" slumber party!

"Half giving nova and/or a buncha aussie frens a biiiiiiig hug" Fool! I take hugs, I dont give them! But, acceptable suggestion lel

"Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu from Magic Knight Rayearth" Oh hell yea, I cant wait to draw Sora, Donald and Goofy!

Wine Aunt Half

This is your reward from January that I forgor to post even though I finished it quite 'early' in the month... Sorry.

I guess its a good reward for February too considering valentines. We got the glittery hearts covered.

The difference between the versions is Wiccy asked me to give me milk... Yes. That's totally what the white liquid is. I also had to make the wine very bright as the gif compression was turning it into dark grey as my gloves.

Animation is fun when its simple like this. I should do it more.

Thank you so much for the support in January!

Welcome to 2025, everyone. I'd like to say something inspiring like "there's imminent change in the horizon", but I can't guarantee anything so, I just hope January is treating yall well and that the rest of the year follows suit. I'm gonna be sitting here thinking about things to add for you guys, and I'll eventually make a poll out of some ideas.

But for now, here's this month's contestants!

"I'd like someone from Arknights: Endfield (Half's Choice)" I might need some help with this if it wins just to know my options, but I generally really like Arknights' designs and I'm happy to draw more.

"Start the year with some HBSO mayhaps?" It'd be a good way to start the year with our Half Baked Space Odyssey

"Wine Aunt Half" That's just regular Half! But yes, sure lol

"Sage(from Sonic) and Bowser Jr. doing some shenanigans" I totally know what these characters have in common and what they'd do together, yes, uh, I'm very confident about this.

"Section 6 from ZZZ" Gacha! Gacha! Gacha!

"Half doing a Bob Ross painting. Afro and all." I'd love to follow a Bob Ross video for this, I think I'd be able to do something lol, tho it'd take more than 30 minutes to make it look good.

"Animate a thingie" Okay, I'll animate something if this wins. If it'll be good... No guarantee!

Happy New Year! 31122024

This is your "Padoru" reward of december. You better like it ònó - and I'm going to paste this from the discord message, so if you've read it there, you don't have to read it again, lol.

"2024 sure was a year." Is my immediate thought, I feel like I did a lot and not much at the same time. Some things went very well due to hard work and some others were exhausting for no progress at all.

But for all the non-progress I think I did, and for all the negative things that seem to overwhelm the good, if I stop to think about it, and if you stop to remember, I'm still smiling 90% of the time in my streams, and that reflects me IRL.

I'm pretty happy in general, its hard to put my finger in why, and there certainly are bad things, but 2024 was a good year!

And I hope 2025 is even better :0 And if it is, it'll probably be for the same reasons 2024 was- having you guys around me, being silly, chaotic or just straight no-bs supportive, I'd have gotten no where without you and I still appreciate yall in my daily life making my time the best it can be :0

Thank you so much for 2024. Thank you for being here for me, and for hanging out with each other, thank you for doing your own things, for contributing to the world and to me with your presence and fixations, things would not be the same without you. So keep it up!

You may never leave   (Oh, cool it pasted the emote as an image too!)

And Happy New Year!

My my, it's the end of the year. I hope its been a good one to you, as it has been to me, in the grand scheme of things.

The suggestions this month are rather christmassy, let's take a look.

"Dandadan fanart" New funny anime just out, has some interesting designs

"Christmas" as a theme, if this wins, I might merge it to the next most voted thing and make that more holiday-like.

"santa half delivering crimis art, maybe on her sled" I like this, apparently my new profile picture looks like I'm leading a sled- which By tHe waY, me and Fab are doing collab icons for christmas on VGen! Get one or share with frens that need funny new icons :0

"catbots as elves in Santa's factory and half as santa" I've done something similar in the past but with less focus on the catbots, this could be a good opportunity to make them shine

"mix it up, half catbots half catboys" (referring to the above) Uhhhh I love catboys and I would lol

"Half stealing all the vbucks cards so the kids get none" Heck ye, I loooove mone- vbucks is money right...?

"half, bear and a buncha catbots having highjacked santas sleigh" Les gooo, throw Bear into the mix

"Padoru Padoru" Ohhh wooow I dont understand this reference at aaaaall, whatever could this meeean, whatever would come of this winniiiing I don't knooooow!

Shelf of Friends

They said I wouldn't make it in time... (They were right) I wish I could have done even more to this picture, but the work time on it is clocking over 35 hours and I should probably call it done.

Patrons, this is your reward for the month, a sample of the collection of friends that I have. There are 101 friends in this picture, I ran out of shelf space before I could include everyone. If you dont see yourself, I'm very sorry ;~;

The colors are slightly messed up, because I used as little colors as I could to keep the picture from going too chaotic, but if you can see yourself in this picture, chances are I can fix your colors later, and 90% of you have your own layer, so I'll be able to give you a png.

I'm thinking of turning this into a print, but still in the process of asking everyone and figuring out how to do it exactly. Any news about this will probably be posted on discord announcements - and if you can see yourself, expect a dm from me asking you about this specifically in the next week or so.

The super quality version of this picture is a patron right, if you wanna keep my art safe, don't repost this version, use the one that will show up on discord, as that one is lower res and keeps the image of everyone included safe from whoever can do them harm :0

I had a ton of fun with this! And it feels like a very fitting end for this year, even though we still have a month to go.

Thank you so much, I have only gotten where I am because of you guys. I can only hope I'm giving back to my community a fraction of the support you all have given me this year, let alone the past 7 years. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Oh hi, it's been a bit. Most of the fun stuff has been happening on discord, and I admit I took October off to focus on commissions... And then I still haven't caught up in all the work I gotta do.

Let's take a look at what you guys want this month! Theres a lot of options!

"BL" Oh... Very straight forward- actually not straight at all, nvm, but good choice

"Shanoa from Castlevania" Love me some castlevania :0

"In Honor of the Sylvanas Ranger-General Transmog being on the Trading Post... All of the female Patron characters in her armor" I guess I can work with this

"nim waking up from a nap and realizing she overslept by...about 2-3 years." Hell ye, been a bit since I drew Nim, happy to do it again

"Don Quixote from Limbus Company riding a ferris wheel" What-

"Catbot Shenanigans" just in time for the holidays!

"Some of the ship crew/catbots as a sentai group and/or sentai villans" That sounds fun :0

"Half fleeing the BR equivalent of the IRS" I need the practice lol

"a collection of few of Halfs friendos in simple but cute plushie form - on a shelf in her quarters!" I'll be swimming in plushies, let's go!

Captain's log 14082024

Hey, Im not late, you are... Totally.

Thank you guys for the support with the new twitch banner (that was also late), that's coming to patreon soon, tho in its early access version, as there is one character that can't be seen entirely yet lol

For now, lets vote for the options of this month! Lots of options this time around.

"Yaana from ffxiv" Apparently this is a new character in 14, and it relates to one of the new raids, they look pretty cool :0

"draw a robot of your choosing" Okay, definitely can do that, and I might use one of my own designs if I'm not too lazy

"Miyabi from ZZZ" Gacha! Gacha! Gacha! I think... ZZZ has some alright designs lel

"yes, sticker" (I forced this suggestion so I could fit another one) I'm currently working on a sticker set for TF2, so this would speed up my research around how I can make them into actual little products

"general grievous from the star war" Yaaay, I love grievous, he has such a cool design that totally has nothing to do with his cool robit feet at all!

"throw in a gacha gunslinger meetup with Mortefi from WW, Billy from ZZZ, and Boothill from HSR" More Gacha!

"The Dragon Sister Quartet from Arknights (Shu, Ling, Dusk and Nian)" All of the gacha! I remember liking the arknights designs quite a bit so, this could be cool

Wiccy is one of my French Girls, totally

As requested, it's Wiccy but uh... Well, I wanted to pose cutely and also have something Wiccy might be able to use for the streams, so this is the result.

Captain's log 09072024

Hi! I'm totally not late this month, and we have a bunch of awesome suggestions!

I am a bit backed up on commissions though, so I'm sorry about the late reward last month.

I also might make a little post with all the rewards given in May, just for transparency's sake :0

Anyway, here's what you're picking!

"new/updated twitch banner?" I've been meaning to get to this for a while now, it definitely needs a rework!

"Hmmm something Nadesico related?" We just started watching it! But I've drawn a mech based on the aestivalis before, so I hope I can draw the actual thing :0

"Shark Team from Girls und Panzer" Yaaaay, while I do like the teams in girls und panzer, I'm reeeeally looking forward to the smol tanks, haha

"Wuk Lamat" She is cute! This is how I become a furry artist

"I was going to suggest Krile." Smol! Also cute

"Half finally arts her spaceship's design." I actually had a friend helping me with the design so I can probably do that now

Captain's log 17062024

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA hi

I'm late. What else is new.

Here's your options!

"uhhhh. UHHHHH. Draw a Soosa Noodles" Soosaaaaa, soosa cute noodle, she'd love it!

"Simon Belmont doing a Grand Cross." Thank you for acknowledging my very not-an-addiction appreciation for V Rising

"Draw Firefly from Star Rail. I figure it'll give me luck for when I try and roll for her." Yay gachaaa

"Draw Arraxis pulling Firefly in HSR" lol I mean, yes, thatd actually make me happier. Idk if Arra already got her, but if so and this wins anyway, we'll have a very happy Arraxis

"Draw me like one of your French girl" I'd absolutely draw Wiccy as one of the french girls I dont have

"Fire Emblem Heroes Flush Summer Banner" Yaaay more gacha I think!

Its muh birfday! 2024

(For that reason, yall told me on discord I can take the month off from polls, so I will. Thank you.)

And you might've seen it on twitter, but to celebrate my birthday, I'm giving away to one of you, my patrons, a fullbody illustration!

There's also some goodies to get if you watch my stream or you're in my discord and twitter, so please look into those if you have any interest.

I guess what I mean is... I couldn't be here without you guys, so thank you so much for all the support for all these years. I know I'm not the best artist out there, and you might've felt your money is going to waste on me... Which is probably true. But! I appreciate you choose to waste it on me anyway. 

You don't have to do anything else to participate in this raffle, so don't worry. I'll just use my list of patrons, give everyone a number and use a random number generator to pick someone- I'm pretty sure there's 20 of you here, so good luck!

(Wishing me happy burf makes me happy though, so feel free to reply here if you want <3)

April Sketches

Alright, another month I didn't make a poll for so we get some of you guy's requests on discord.

This month featuring all OCs :0

We made a cool picture for Momeki , aka Momo

We've drawn Sinpai getting his C-01 Form denied...

And a little Strix running away from the police- in this case

And also me as a Australian..? And also also me uh fighting to the death with the beautiful Xochi

HBSO - Mel Musing

Okay so for March yall asked for HBSO and I came up with this disconnected page with the characters Sasha and Mel- I'm so sorry boys, you're getting no love at all, I need to fix that.

I could talk a little bit about what I have planned for these characters, lemme see, uhh...

Mel's an engineer, not a pilot, or at least not until now.

Sasha is on the weapons team(I think, Im still trying to figure that out) and she can deal with facing dangers a bit better-

Okay that's all I have for now, I swear I have some ideas for HBSO, I'm just really bad at realizing them.

Ramlethal

I'm so glad I got the opportunity to draw Ram again, I love her.

This was a bit of a rushed piece, but it turned out pretty pretty alright, in my opinion.

January Arts

You all must be really patient with me, I keep forgetting to post to my patreon and update discord faster- speaking of, if you're not on discord yet, if you don't want to link your patreon account to discord, send me a message and I can give you the role manually.

Anyway, back in January, I didnt make a poll, so you got a few of your requests that month.

Frieren!

Half- but 40k

Anne Littstein from Tearmoon Empire

Kiryu and Haruka having cute family time- okay I dunno how to replicate their style so we got chibis instead.

Gig!

I remember when I was a kid, trying to find references for Gig was such a hard task. I'm glad this mans and Soul Nomad got a bit more love through the years, even if its humor used to work better when it came out. 

I'm really glad I had the opportunity to draw Gig in December too! It was a nice throw back.

SuleMio

Hmm, I'm not backed up on posts, nuh uh.

Here's some Suletta and Miorine from Witch from Mercury, one of the winners of December's poll- these two look adorable together! They do make me want to watch the anime, regardless of the criticism it got, to be honest.

Captain's log 15032024

These polls get later each month. Thank you for the support, everyone. Your unending patience impresses me more each time I screw up. lol

Here's this month's suggestions:

"Fab and Cora!" Ayo!? I'd be really happy to draw my furry vtuber frens!

"Masaki Andoh from Super Robot Wars" This option was totally not made for me specifically, nuh uh, couldnt be, that'd be like, trying to rig the vote, right, thats cheating, thats like, would never happen at all, and I'm totally not very happy about it.

"Amari Aquamarine SRW X" I'm very happy with the amount of Super Robot Wars suggestions, and I'd even say, though I didn't see much of X, this OG design has grown on me over the years, and I'd love to draw Amari.

"Maybe some more HBSO stuff?" Oooo, big contender, I have been daydreaming about HBSO as a narrative and how the characters interact with each other. So if there's no other ideas for this, I might do a comic strip, or maybe a few doodles of these relationships that I've created with some characters already.

"Something Helldivers 2 related." The most democratic option, if you don't pick this that means we're not democratic pirates and uh I will rule supreme over uh my ship and yall and uhhhh idk, make this funny somehow.

Captain's log 11022024

Hi. I swear things have been more active on discord than here... Sigh, and I did tell myself I'd try to behave a bit better. Sorry. I'll catch up Patreon's posts soon.

For now, here's the options for this month!

"Vtuber Liora Walkyria" I'm not particularly familiar with this one, but I can always put someone else on my radar.

"The Delicious in Dungeon adventuring party, Laios, Marcille, Chilchuck, and Senshi." Yay, group pictures! Sounds fun.

"Ramlethal Valentine" I love Ram! She's so cool!

"Someone from P3 Reload, Half's choice" Alrighty, then we can draw Persona 3. Hint: It'd be Akihiko.

Drawtober 2023

I decided to draw characters from Rance again, but this time, we'd draw the men- And since I'm a degenerate, they are all wearing glasses.

I'm actually very impressed with how well it went. I maybe had one day when I cut it short, but I managed to keep the pace well and do all of them with no overlap.

I hope you enjoy this month's worth of men :0

Sketches for September

I forgor to make poll so I sketched pretty much every request that month.

Grasp Victory!

In the same month we drew Princess Serenity, Domon was suggested, and since we were going for stylish anime era characters, I used that as an excuse to draw him as well.

Now, I made a funny of it. So Uso is also included, and his mech, the Victory. I was going for a joke that also worked in japanese, but I don't think it does in the end. That's alright though.

Smol Monster Hunter Shenanigans

According to our poll I was supposed to draw myself in a monster hunter outfit- So I did! Here's Half and her precious soft boy, the Royal Ludroth, wearing that set of armor (wild Mizutsune in the background); and also a running squad of me and catbots with the Viper Tobi Kadachi armor set.

I'm very happy with these. I think they look very cute. I was so happy I decided to try to make merch with the running squad. Uh, let's just say I have a lot to learn about printing. But it turned out alright for a first attempt.

Princess Serenity

Welp, I'm backed up in these posts... Sorry about that.

I'm pretty sure I didn't do a poll for the month and instead just picked the winner myself. I figured I could do something cool with a Sailor Moon theme, and even though it didn't turn out as exciting as I wanted, I'm very happy about the style I went for here!

Captain's log 10112023

Oh hai, its been a while huh- uhhh I should work on getting all the pictures that are stuck in discord out here soon.

Thank you so much for being understanding of my shenanigans in October! I hope you also like the challenge I finished, I'll post it all on patreon as well.

I'm also thinking of hosting a small raffle in december and give one of my patrons a little gift that month.

But first! Here's the poll for the month. (No multiple choice, as this is a very small amount of choices)

• "Kallen from Code Geass" Alright, I can draw Kallen regardless of if I like code geass, no worries.
• "I guess it's time for the semi-annual HBSO request, but spoopy themed!" Ah shit, I realize this was supposed to be done for october. Whoops. We can still have halloween in november, its fine!
• "Joryu (Kazuma Kiryu) is approaching." Oh boy, I wonder if I could draw a good Kiryu, lel.
• "Ho'olheyak from Arknights since she's releasing in Global soon." I remember having a good time drawing Arknights before! So I'd be happy to do this as well.
• "Not this month, but a sketch of the Parmesan family" ... I will. Don't tempt me.

Captain's log 10082023

So I was totally responsible last month- except I didn't post the pictures I DID finish in time... I guess I wasn't completely responsible then huh lol. Ahhem. Anyway.

Here's your long list of options for the month!

"I’ll suggest Sherlock Holmes from Great Ace Attorney. I’d like to see it in Half’s style." Aight, I dunno what I'd do to make Herlock Shomes interesting, but I'll try :0

"I really like Gina Lestrade in Great Ace, so I'm going to put in a vote for that." Oh nyo, she's adorable!

"Screw it, wild card. Tronn Bonne or however her name is spelled from Megaman" I've drawn Tron before, though not as a patreon reward. I'd be happy to do it again, her and her servbots which I totally didn't steal...

"Kay from Girls Und Panzer" Huh, I thought I'd know this one since I've watched a teeny bit of it, but I guess I don't. She's cute though.

"How about half in a monster hunter outfit?" AAAAAAAAAAA

"Space Soldier Half. Whatever armor you'd wear in Halo or Mass Effect." AAAAAAAAAAA

"Since ff16 came out recently, imma suggest the best man, the best cid, dont @ me, Cidolfus Telamon. Best cid not even close, the man i wanna become" Hell ye! Also don't worry, you're pretty good too, lol.

Link riding a Guardian

I still can't believe this suggestion was a joke...

I admit I didn't know what to do with it though, and the whole picture is a bit more of me putting pieces together than a real composition. Here it is though, done. As best as I could.

Half-Elf Marsali

So remember how I didn't have a poll in May? Well I picked one of the suggestions and made it anyway. This is Kayo's OC, Marsali.

(No one got to pick what it was aside me... Sorry about that.)

I had a lot of fun with it, except the part in which I drew the clothes and armor on her arms switched-

I hope you enjoy it regardless of my silly shenanigans. And if you can't tell the difference between the two versions, I'm very sorry, lol - Stream shenanigans got in the way.

Captain's log 14072023

Heyyyy- its the middle of the month!

I didnt forget <.< >.> I've just been in a weird spot. I'm sorry for the delay, and thank you for not giving up on me just yet.

Here's this months contestants!

"HENYA THE GENIUS!" I love seeing VTubers suggested lel though I admit I have seen nothing of her content, it could be fun to make something for her.

"Tingyun" is that Honkai Star Rail? In mY pAtReOn PaGe?!- Ahhem, she looks cute, I like her dress. Could def do something with that!

"Sailor moon" Alright, I'm very okay with this, love me some frilly skirts, magical girl action :0

"Domon Kasshu" Hell ye, les gooo, I'd love to make a G Gundam picture at some point.

"maybe some catbot shenanigans" I actually have an idea for this due to recent events, and it could be fun. Otherwise, it'll be ridiculously cute.
