Next month is Viatores Month! That means that most of the Supporter art for next month will revolve around my personal Race - Viatores! I'm going to use this time to really finish up the website for both content and graphic images to help explain, so that i can push forward on getting the comics made up!
I appreciate everyone's support for this next month, and it means SO much to be that I am able to do this. It is things like this what made me want to make a Patreon in the first place. I simply wouldn't have the time or ability to do this on my own!
>4< Adopts are going up next month! I'm having a lot of fun created them and I cannot wait for them to find new happy homes.
There will be an additional 2 new Viatores created for Original Species trades that I have currently
Thank you, Everyone 💚
Its Early but - Happy Birthday! <3 Some Hawke and Kato enjoying a nice, 100% completely wholesome Ride.
or is it?
My half of an art trade with Fyrephase, of their lovely Snep! <3

April was a crazy month, with a new poll - and new ways to vote!! huge thanks to Appelsiini1 for working tirelessly (and sometimes aggravated) at getting the new Discord voting system to work! It's so much better to have it a part of the community than out here, and the turnout has been better!
Been dealing with a lot of immigration stress as we near the final decision for me staying here, as well as being sole income - dealing with burnout and trying to push past it and keep pumping out that work!
That aside, this month has been some bangers, and I'm still trying to figure out what my.. THING is. How to push my style. But I appreciate you all on this awesome ride with me!
Thank you so much for April - and here's to May!
(Art packs will be posted in Discord on May 5th)
BEEF BEEF BEEF BEEF BEEF BEEF

Uh-oh! :O
Looks like Mazikeen has gotten herself into a bit of a tight, sticky situation..
I wonder what will happen ;)
Ain't no party like a Tentacle party ~ 💜💚
Maiya is a special little warlock, with an affinity for Tentacles and possession Spells ~
She also likes to let her little pets out to get some fresh air in the sun, but it seems like they have other ideas...
😭
I am *so* happy with how this came out.
Really nervous, and I didn't want to mess it up, I've wanted to draw poppy for ages, such an OC crush on her!
I really hope you guys like this!
It seems Cactus spirited away Mie to a place that she thinks he would like! With giant flowers that look like him! <3
Commissions are open to Patrons, HD file will be available in this Months Pack!
I entry for an Art jam that I am apart of, this is Azer's OC, Deijos.
I wanted to do something a little more theatrical and dramatic, so i picked Deijos with their cool magical effects and purple lightning! I thought it turned out cool. Maybe an Anime screenshot? lol.
Let me know what you think!
Commission from a friend of a friend - his woman tends to lean towards gory and monstrous commissions,and they usually tend to catch him off guard xD He wanted to get a slice of life picture of one of those moments :)

A commission from QuantamDitto!
Her little Kobold, Lleuadine, brought in by Ka'ma to the Wandering Inn, getting snuggles and warmed up from the cold.
Hey guys, consider this an addendum to the last burn out post.
I haven't been feeling very good, constant stress migraines and my arm problems have gotten worse instead of better. Usually i can draw for 10-12 hours a day before my arm starts to hurt, but lately, its only been 2-3, sometimes almost immediately. I've been trying to work sparingly and taking lots of breaks, but its not working.
I've talked this over with Hawke and a few friends, and I'm going to be taking a 2 month break - Possibly into July. The next two months are for my health, and into July might be because HOPEFULLY, if travel restrictions lift, Hawke can fly up and we'll be driving back home <3 (not to finish immigration, will be on a tourist Visa, but i will keep you all updated on that as we know more.)
Billing will be paused May 1st and June 1st - You will not be charged for those months and you do not have to leave to avoid it! Plus there will still be patron postings, free of charge!
I appreciate immensely those who stay and continue to support me and when i come back i plan on doing something to thank all of you,
I recently had a long talk with my doctor who gave me an ultimatum of sorts;
I keep drawing and don't take a break, and I will require surgery. This will postpone my Immigration.
or
I take a GOOD break and rest my wrist, no surgery, and immigration can go on.
I figure you can imagine which road i'd rather travel on. He said from how I explained my pain, (we can only do calls with the Pandemic) from my RSI's in my hand, my Carpal Tunnel, and Tennis Elbow- its now also a shooting pain into my shoulder and back. Taking April off what a good start to healing, but he said i shouldn't of come back in March. (i didn't tell him that technically April wasn't time off as i was buried in commissions, but..)
I really don't want to risk the surgery. I had a friend in music who had to do it, and it took her years to be able to play the flute again like she used to - to be honest, that scared the shit out of me.
I want to give you guys the best, as you deserve. Lately i've fallen out of love with my art. Its felt like a roller coaster except the ups are small and shortening, and the falls are longer each time (and not nearly as fun). I hate putting something out that im not happy with.
Many of you have been here from the beginning of my Patreon, and Some for even longer than that - and i do not want to give out sub par work.
ON THE SUBJECT OF OWED ART
Do not fret! I fully plan on completing all art due. Patreon, Commissions and YCH.
I just need a little more time to finish each piece and in between. I need to stop as soon as my arm starts to hurt, and break until it stops, or risk further damage. I ask for your Patience and understanding with everything, and i PROMISE i will draw and finish everything to the best of my ability. You can see my To Do List in my Patreon Discord if you are curious as to where i am. I will update it as i go, as well as posting WIPs and Final art (t)here.
In the future, all art i manage to draw (other than current Patron art, to keep myself sane) Will be posted here, with its HD Size and Variations if any, free of charge. That way you can download all of it, including parts i would save for monthly packs - regardless of tier.
IN REGARDS TO MERCENARY TIER. YOU WILL STILL GET YOUR 3 MONTHS.
I made a promise with those and i intend to keep it. It'll work out the same way that i did it with April, you can send the pledge to me directly and ill work on it as i am able.
Financially, this isn't going to be good, but thanks to everyone i've managed to squirrel away some money to live off of, and in the future i will try to grab a commission here and there to stretch it out (under the same rules).
If you have any questions or want to talk about anything, please don't hesitate to message me on Discord, or message here. I'll still be in discord as much as possible and hopefully do sum more Group Games. But, You all know how much i value honesty and transparency, and i want you to know where i stand.
https://www.deviantart.com/shinerai Please take a look and follow them if you can!!
This artist was one that i followed and admired when i first looked into the world of digital art, many many many years ago. When i left DA, and went in and out of drawing - i stopped watching in the sense that i didnt see their uploads anymore, then i gravitated to FA and i didnt see much of their art anymore..
Then, to my great surprise, they were invited and joined the ARTJAM that Helixel started and i was blown away with nostalgia going through their gallery and seeing new and old art again.
This late secret santa, i was randomly chosen to draw for them, and to be honest, its hugely intimidating. Im not good at ferals, and their unique designs on top of it - its not something im used to drawing or that i consider a strong suit. It was a challenge, and i really hope i did them justice. This is one of Shinerai's OCs, Lhyz.
The wings took me for a loop and about 12 iterations, i finally landed on this one. They specifically asked for something to do with water (another weakness of mine, lol) and after trying to draw them at a waterside of even in the water didnt work, i went with in a storm. And - Much to my surprise, in looking up the ACE flag to make it the scarf as they asked, i learned that it has a place for Demisexuals (which ive recently found out to be something that i align with) so that was nice.
:)
I hope everyone enjoys this, but most of all, i hope they do!

Being a merc i wanted to do a bit more than just a flat chibi, so heres a cute background ~

Janarr found a little gift in his bed, aside from the cactus (probably shoo'd out of Hawk's Room). Of course, it will be added to his above pool hoard to cherish and protect!
I love drawing Shurians, and drawing their rooms in the Inn is just a bonus. Nice little break from Work :)
2020-01-17 04:02:53 +0000 UTC View PostSo, i zoned out and colored the first AUGUST sketch.
like, actually colored, not the teal shading ive been doing.
So, uh, now this month is a practice for when/if we hit a higher goal, and everyone's art gets bumped up a level!
so colored sketches for everyone!
:D <3 Cactus

Commission Information //
TOS & Pricing - https://tinycactus.carrd.co/#
Current Que is posted publicly on discord.
My commissions are no longer first come first serve. When I open commissions, ill post on Patreon and give a link for the form to fill out details. Ill set and end date - so everyone has time to get their OCs or Ideas in.
I'll most likely pick people I know are kind to work with, understand, and have ideas that I find inspiring and want to work on/have fun OCs. I realize there are new people and I try to give everyone a fair chance. Please feel free to look through my gallery to get a feel for what I can do/like to do.

Your patronage enables me to draw for a living and I cannot thank you enough for your generosity, but I also understand finances can be tight & art is a luxury. If you can not or no longer support me financially, you can lower, cancel or pause your pledge at any time.
