Sleepover: reWake Collab WIP

I was approached a few weeks ago by BLits Games to do a collab with them for their new visual novel, Sleepover: reWake! Their remake of the original by Black Monkey Pro, which I'm sure most of you are at least somewhat familiar with lol

This tasty treat + some variations will be part of Term 74!

Also for anyone interested, the full game is releasing October 21st, you can wishlist on Steam via this link, or learn more on their website: https://www.blitsgames.com/sleepover/

Term 73 + Update

Quick update! I will be unpausing for October, and Term 74 will start October 1 (and probably include November as well). I know this period has been especially messy with the order of pics + restarting the Ashitaka pic, so here's the final lineup for Term 73!

Both Hikaru/Yoshiki pics, the 6 fan art pics (with some extra messy variations), and of course the Jiji/Okarun pic (still a wip)!

So of course the Term 74 Ice Cream poll will begin in about a week, so keep an eye on your DMs if you're in the Ice Cream tier and interested in participating. And my Haikaveh Zine pic should get the go ahead any day now to post here for you guys, and that will be including in the Term 74 rewards as well.

TY as always for your support! I'm going back into the rendering mill to get on those Term 72 pics!

Jiji/Okarun WIP

I-it's not what it looks like!!

Hikaru/Yoshiki

When you morph but he still sucking

The Summer Hikaru Died S tier, see you next season 🥺

This and the previous TSHD pic will both be a part of Term 73 (the current term), I'll make a post soon, + the Jiji pic!

Term 71 Late Rewards Link

Here is the link for anyone who would like the Term 71 Rewards, but weren't pledged when it was active.

Ashitaka, Aventurine/Caelus, and Percy/Jason/Nico sets

These are the same price as a normal Patreon tier. $5 gets you the eggplant rewards, and $10 will get the full sausage tier rewards.

I'll keep this up for around a week or so, before I upload them to the public at ~$5 per set

<Link Expired>

Term 71 Delivered

Hi everyone! Sorry it's been a million years, but Term 71 has finally been delivered! It was sent to people that were pledged in April & May 2025 (yikes)

I'm mostly moved in (minus like some books/clothes/etc), but all my big stuff is here and I'm pretty settled in. The Percy set is huge, but Ashitaka was the real struggle. Thank god I restarted it, I'm liking the new set much more and it allowed me to finally finish everything. Though I still included some pics of the old set.

Patreon has STILL not resolved their audience filtering issues, though support did give me a possible band aid solution that can help some people not fall through the cracks. Sorry if you got double sent rewards. But as per recent terms:

If you were $5 and got the higher tier rewards, just keep them. If you were $10/20 and got the $5 rewards you can let me know and I'll check and send you the correct ones if that was the case. Or if you got skipped but were subbed during that period, also lmk and I'll send you the download links.

THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR PATIENCE, ENJOY THE REWARDS, I'M WORKING ON TERM 72 AND 73!! Will keep you updated on whether or not I'm pausing for October!

The rewards are in .zip files, so you need an unpacking program (like winrar or 7zip) to get them.

Ashitaka

You're done when the arm says you're done

Sorry this is a billion years overdue, but finally making progress! Hope to have Term 71 sent out asap!

Ashitaka Remake WIP

That arm has a mind of its own...

Welp, I've tried several times to finish the Ashitaka pic for Term 71, but I think I am simply burnt out on it. A combination of things, too much water, too much nature (especially after the PJO and HSR pics), too much background, and I think most importantly the thesis of the pic was just off. It was hot, but was lacking intention, and I was just having trouble making the variations/censored versions just feel natural.

Really sucks because I got pretty far in on it (I'll still include the wips/semi-final versions in the Term 71 rewards) but essentially, I'd rather start fresh with a better idea than limp across the finish line and complete the old picture.

After this is crossed off I can finally make some progress in the pics I owe you guys!

Six Fanarts

They're finally here! Sorry I kept getting interrupted/delayed from finishing these. But here are 6 sweaty boys as ordered. There will be some more...messy variations but I just didn't have it in me rn to do them, but they will happen!

Definitely feeling back in business mode, I was feeling major burnout from the Ashitaka pic, there is just too much water in the recent pics.... But I'll have 71 and 72 to you all soon!

💖 Thanks for sticking with me!

Do not use iOS for Patreon

Quick message, you may have heard it from other creators, I know I've told people this but idr if I ever made a post about it. Do not use the ios app to sub on Patreon. It is literal garbage that does not work. If you can resub on desktop, or a non Apple device.

Apple sucks in general + them strong arming Patreon is why the site sucks so bad rn, and why I've had all these issues with getting people their rewards. So yeah, just don't use it if you're able.

This message is new, I've never seen it before, but yeah I guess neither Apple nor Patreon want you to use their app, it's dogshit!

Six Fanarts Preview!

Desperately needed a warmup before I jumped back into art, and to get more accustomed to my new setup, so I was asking on twitter/bluesky/discord for some names...

Won't be full renders or anything, but here's a taste of some long awaited guys 😳

Pausing for September!

Hi everyone, sorry I meant to make this post earlier, I will be pausing my Patreon tomorrow, and then in a month will re-evaluate any progress and will pause for October as well if need be.

Some people are getting a random bug where they are unable to join or change their pledge when I'm paused. I have no idea what causes it, and Patreon is aware but has offered no fix... Just letting people know, this is potentially last call for free members to join in case they were hit by the bug, as well as anyone who lowers their pledge/unsubs. The pause will lift on Sept 27, so if anyone is affected they will be able to join again then like normal.

I've gotten back to drawing so hopefully will have some stuff to show soon! <3

Term 73 Poll Results

The W goes to the new kid on the block! Lots of good choices both repeats and new guys, Jiji has taken the win for Term 73! Excited for some new blood, but gotta think of ideas for him.... Some ambiguous ideas but nothing concrete, so will be taking suggestions (solo or otherwise). Gotta let these ideas marinate.

I'll prob return to having round 2 be 15 guys, and final 4 for the last round. This was just an experiment, but I think I prefer it the other way, but let me know as well!

Slight update: I will be pausing for September, I'm a decent amount moved in, but still some central stuff I'll need to take time for. But decently settling in so far. Haven't had much time/mentality to draw, this temp setup I have isn't great. But my new desk has arrived, I just need to assemble it and everything (I'll try and give some pics when it's done!) <3

Moving Update

In the middle of some irl moving and setting up at my new place, though I'm doing a very gradual process, but just wanted to thank everyone again for the support! I'm very emotional rn so I'll make it brief, and make a more in depth post later once I'm more settled and stable, but just ty again!

I'll be in and out of discord tonight and a bit. I'm without my computer for tonight, but tomorrow I plan on moving it from where it's been for many years so I'm very fragile rn lmao. Hopefully once my pc is set up at the new place and I can return to drawing my brain will begin repairing itself lol.

💖

Another Term Update!

Creating a new post to pin for people to keep track of things. Term 73 will be starting in August (and as of now I intend to extend it to September as I have been doing).

And for new patrons/people that missed the original billing period, the full rewards for these terms will be available on my shop for normal tier prices ($5 or $10 depending on what you want), and I'll post the links here when they're available!

Term 71 - April & May: Percy/Jason/Nico, Aventurine/Caelus, Ashitaka

Percy and Aventurine sets are posted, need to finish Ashitaka and it'll be sent out

Term 72 - June & July: Yuuto, Phainon/Mydei, Reki/Langa

WIPs posted

Term 73 - August + September: Yoshiki/Hikaru, Haikaveh Zine set (hoping to be able to finally post that here), + TBD

Ice Cream poll will go out probably around Aug 7-8

TY for your patience and I love you all! <3

Reki/Langa WIP 2

Y'know I wasn't satisfied with the last wip on its own. There was an itch to be scratched in my brain. They wouldn't leave it with one go like that, so here is the switch version as well 🥰

Now why is Reki being a pillow princess and having Langa do all the work? 🤷‍♂️

Yuuto WIP

...we weren't even rolling...

Aventurine/Caelus

Oh Caelus you're SOOO big 🤩
