So, I went ahead and ‘soft-closed’ my patreon, (made everything free to view, but I won’t keep posting on it) mostly bc i wasn’t great at being consistent, and it just got a little too jumbled for me.

In hopes of unjumbling, I instead made a little… ✨ Ko-Fi Membership! ✨

Just one tier, only $3 a month, and you’ll get monthly goodies like palettes, color guides & special commissions! May’s theme is Creature Feature & the rewards are…

  • An exclusive Commission Type, that only members can buy a slot for!
  • The Alien Plastica Color Palette & Guide!

I figured since I use Ko-Fi pretty often, this would be a much better option, and something I’ll be able to give more attention to and be more comfortable with! I want to be able to give you guys something consistent, and be financially stable enough to give it all my effort! Your support will be, and has always been incredibly appreciated! ✨

Come by the Ko-Fi Shop! ✨☕️
#i think having a routine and like a fun prompt every month to be creative with will be nice ✨#plus getting to try out new commission types in sort of a small window will be a fun little experiment#thanks so much for considering!#ko-fi shop

WAHH THANK YOU!! ✨ So nice of you to say, I appreciate it!!

And I may or may not have a ridiculous amount of characters haha but here are my main ones!

Yulis is a driver-for-hire, employed by Paul’s company to get him to work on time. He’s volatile, quick-to-act, but pretty dependable. Paul writes articles for work, but wants to be his own author, so he overworks himself writing, and is late because of it. He’s frazzled, constantly nervous and stressed, and Yulis is pretty much his only constant in his life.

Here’s their introduction, and their latest comic!

Then there’s the Metropolis Cocktail bunch! I’ve had each of these characters for a LONG while, but they’ve changed a whole lot over time. Lou’s an alien bodyguard, Cap’s his partner and a schemer, Pepperell’s a carefree-clown-type, and Brunette’s a researcher (and a nervous wreck.)

You can go through any of their tags, and there’s literally YEARS of drawings, but here’s a good intro for Cap & Lou’s relationship, a little comic about Brunette & Pepperell, and their lineup!

(I did also start a bigger comic with them all, but I didn’t get it out in time, so it’ll only like a quarter-way done haha I do plan on finishing it next fall! )

Honorable mention is Thylo, I haven’t posted a whole lot about him, and I only made one comic with him, but his design is still one of my favorites, and I would REALLY love to continue his comics at some point. He’s a flyweight fighter, a bit of an underdog, quick-to-anger, impulsive, but has the best intentions to stay cool under pressure.

Sorry for rambling, but thanks so much again for asking!!

#I love all my little creatures 😔#would love to make more comics and animations about every single one of them if it didn’t take me literally months to do#or if i was just better at planning#definitely need to get better at planning lol#asks#Yulis#Paul#Lou#Cap#Pepperell#Brunette#Metropolis Cocktail#Thylo#Atlas of the Arena

Hi!! And thank you!!! ✨That’s so sweet of you to say!!! ✨💛💛

Of course, I’d love to! I’ve only done a few tattoo designs before, but definitely feel free to DM any insp or designs you have in mind!
