Something to celebrate the upcoming year of the rabbit 🥳
This will be a bonus wallpaper set - it will come with all three color variations and should be posted sometime early next month!
Prints will also be available, but I'm still trying to decide between colors, so that will come a little later.
Wishing you all nothing but the best in the new year!!! 🎉

Here's what I went with for this month's illustration! I wanted to make something bright and wishful since we're going into a new year.
The wallpaper set will be available in the Harvest tier sometime within the next few days and will include a version with a dark background!
I also went ahead and made prints available - if you purchase anything, be sure to use your patron discount!

The above is just a preview - the downloadable files are attached below. Includes a full res PSD with all layers intact, a full res jpeg that can be printed, and lineart in both printable and digital formats. (note: it's sized at 11"x17", so it unfortunately won't print cleanly on standard copy paper!)
It's been a while since I posted one of these! This is from 2017, but I've only recently retired it. I still have a soft spot for it!
Terms of use: You're more than welcome to use these files as study tools, coloring practice, or even to print a poster for your own personal use! All that I ask is that you do not share the full res files, claim them as your own, or use them for profit or professional purposes. If you color the lineart, though, please feel free to post your recolor publicly, and if you'd like me to see it, you can either tag me on social media or e-mail me at riibrego@gmail.com !

I had to do one more set...!!! A few people mentioned that yellow in the last set was a little too bright for them, so I've included a dark version, too. Let me know if you run into any issues with these!

It's been requested before, so I finally put together a wallpaper version of this image! Winter somehow felt like the perfect time to post it.

And here's info regarding holiday delivery estimates!
There is one small change this month - since I'll be traveling to visit family for the holidays, I'm going to choose the wallpaper of the month myself this time rather than run a poll. This lets me start a little earlier, which ensures that I'll be able to finish and post it before I'm away from my computer! (I should really invest in a portable setup one of these days)
This isn't a permanent change, though, so if you have any ideas for the January poll, please feel free to leave them below!
(I'll also be posting a couple of extra wallpapers this month to make up for the lack of a poll!)
I mentioned it before, but I actually injured my wrist early last month, so I didn't really get to do much! I'm back in business now, but that means that this section is unfortunately pretty bare.
So here's your reminder to stretch regularly, take breaks, and stop if anything starts to hurt. I tried to bend the rules, but I'm going to be more careful from now on 😭

I know I said I was done making Chainsaw Man wallpaper sets, but I want to make just one more for Makima!! This is going to be another lock screen -> home screen set!
I'm also finally working on a Kirby wallpaper that I've been wanting to make for a while...! It's sort of on the backburner though, so I'm not sure when it will be completed.
I've also included the most recent round of pet commissions!
PS, unfortunately, I wound up injuring my wrist earlier this month, so I won't be able to open commissions again before Christmas 😭 Patreon will still operate as usual, but I'm trying to avoid extra work while it sorts itself out (it's been improving!)

Here's another set of greeting cards! These are 3.5"x5" and can be printed, cut, and folded (I recommend using cardstock if you can!)
You can print two cards per sheet of A4 or 8.5" x 11" paper - each PDF contains an individual page for each design, plus one with both designs.
You can download the PDFs below! Let me know if there are any issues!

Just in case anyone missed it: INPRNT's holiday sales seem to be running a little early this year, plus I've bumped up my monthly discount to help with holiday shopping, meaning you can get 15% off plus an additional 25% off right now! The 15% off is applied automatically and ends on Sunday, while the 25% can be applied using my personal code ODVCW4SW and is good until the end of the month.
My understanding is that the discounts stack for a total 40% off, but double check your cart total to be sure! Also, I believe that my personal code doesn't cover single art cards and phone cases - this is out of my hands, I'm sorry!!
Hopefully this discount helps you get your hands on anything you've been eyeing!
One more Chainsaw Man-inspired bonus set since I couldn't get the idea for this lockscreen-to-homescreen transition out of my head! I've also gone back and added a dark version, too. As always, let me know if you have any issues using these!

Important note! INPRNT is currently running a 15% off sale, but I'm not sure whether they intend to have a bigger Black Friday sale later this month. So just in case, this month I'm bumping my personal discount code up to 25% off, which is stackable with INPRNT's 15% off. This ensures that whether or not they have a big sale later you'll be able to get a good deal now, plus you'll have more time to get any holiday shopping done!
My promo code is ODVCW4SW, and you can find my shop here!
Nothing much is changing here! I'll be throwing in a few bonus wallpapers this month, but that's about it.
I'm still hoping to open pet commissions again so that they'll be finished in time for the holidays, but no promises just yet!
Still waiting on some work-related news (fingers crossed please), and still doing freelance toy work in the meantime. I did have a few things going on this month, though!
The first design of my second skirt collaboration with Maya Kern went up, and I'm thrilled with how it printed (picture grabbed from Maya's shop)! They sold out pretty quickly, but I believe they'll be restocked on the 10th at noon EST. My berry designs should be restocked then, too, but I don't have confirmation on that yet!
I also received my advanced reader copies of Grace Needs Space! These are sort of a rough version that they send out for promotional purposes, so it isn't 100% finalized yet. It will be published April 4th in both hardback and paperback form, and can be preordered here. Actually, I forgot to mention it earlier, but The Sprite and the Gardener is getting a paperback release on the same day, too!!
That's about it for now! I hope everyone has a good November!

Doing some quick brainstorming for potential future illustrations/wallpapers! I really want to do something with white rabbit candies...
The Wisteria sketch was just me wanting to see her in a more wintery outfit. I think the cold weather is somehow putting me in the mood for drawing more frills.
2022-10-24 17:26:38 +0000 UTC View Post
This one isn't anything too complicated, but I haven't done one of these in a while, so I thought it'd be fun!
If you have questions along the way (about brushes, my coloring methods, etc), you might be able to find answers by clicking through the drawing guide masterpost. If you still aren't sure about something, though, feel free to leave a comment at the end!
So to start:
1) The initial sketch, drawn in Paint Tool Sai using the airbrush. At first I liked the idea of her in a prayer pose.
2) But then I liked the idea of her posing with a cut apple in a heart, kind of referencing her loss of life span. That's about where my thoughts on this composition end - ultimately, this image is just a straightforward, nothing-too-complicated portrait that I did for fun.
3) After asking some friends which sketch they liked best, the general consensus was "the expression of the first one is better, but the pose of the second one is better," so I combined the two.
4) The cleaner sketch!
5) And then the lineart! Not a lot to report here, since I followed the sketch pretty closely. Flipping between the two, I can't help but feel like the sketch expression had something that the lineart lost, but I decided I'd just try to figure it out in the color phase.
6) The first pass at colors, which I actually ended up liking! I wanted this one to feel very red over all, but I also wanted her eyes, lipstick, and the apple to stand out, so I colored the background eyes a slightly duller pink.
7) Before moving on to anything else, I colored the lines. Coloring the lines usually gives a sense of dimension on its own, so doing it first lets me assess how much I want to render everything. (I also realized I forgot her eyebrows, so I added them here.)
8) I realized that the lines felt a little lacking, so I used Clip Studio's "correct line width" to thicken them up a bit. It's amazing what a difference it makes!
9) Now I start rendering! I used a mixture of the default G pen and the tone scraping brush. For the shadows of her hair, I mixed some pink in. I also added some blush to various parts of her skin and really focused on the details in her eyes, since that's ultimately where I want the viewer's attention to go.
10) I felt like she wasn't standing out enough, so I added a highlight to the top of her hair. I added some blush to her shoulders, too.
11) She still felt a little dull, so I decided to push the contrast a little more. I darkened her outfit, and instead of leaving her eyes totally off white, I used pure white for some of the shine. I also made her hair highlights a brighter yellow.
At this point, I also wanted her to stand out from the background a little more, so I duplicated the lineart layer, pulled it below the color layers, and used the "correct line width" filter to make them thicker. This way only the very edges were thickened, since the rest of the lines are covered by color.
I also added a little detail to the lace. To do this I just made a new layer and drew it in using her skin tone - I didn't draw any new lineart.
12) At this point, most edits are pretty minor. I pushed the highlights and shadows a bit more, and I added highlights to her hands to help draw your eye toward them. I also re-colored the lines of the eyes in the background.
13) One final thing - I added a correction layer and adjust the saturation to make the colors pop just a little more, and a noise layer (set to overlay) to add a little grain.
14-16) A better look at the colored lineart, plus a closer look at some details (50% zoom)
And that's it! Nothing super exciting this time around, but I thought it'd be fun to see the process regardless. Let me know if you have any questions!

UPDATE: All spots have been claimed - thank you so much again to everyone who grabbed one! While I can't make any promises, I'm hoping to fit one more round in before Christmas, so keep an eye out for that!
Hi all, I've decided to go ahead and open these again!
You can sign up using this form, which also contains all relevant info, and if you'd like to see more examples, you can check this tag! I'll be closing the form either on October 20th or once all slots have been filled.
Please note that this round will be completed and sent out by November 30th. I doubt it will take that long, but I'm giving this one a longer deadline since I'm not sure just how busy I'll be in the coming weeks!
I'm looking forward to seeing your pets!! 💞

"Gingko leaves" won this month's wallpaper poll! I was having a hard time choosing a background color, so the upcoming set will include all four. I'm still trying to decide which one to print, though!
The set will also include versions without the rabbits in case anyone wants gingko-only versions.
They should all be posted to the Harvest tier within the next few days!
