Rest in Peace: Part Two..
General | Posted 9 years agoIf you've read my last journal then you'll know I've just lost my best friend and brother 
leviathan248 last night.
If you've read that one you'll know I am in a very bad place at the moment. So today made it that much harder and this will be much shorter:
I'm flying back to the USA. My dad has been in hospital the last few days and I'm used to him bouncing back as he's been riddled with health issues. He's not bouncing this time and while I was at Ellis's moms house this afternoon processing the loss of Levi I had my mom ring me saying that the doctor wasn't making any sense and to call the hospital.
Very calmly he said there is no improvement, the pancreas is not functioning as it should and he potentially will be on dialysis shortly (this was a good few hours ago) and his fever hadn't broken. I asked if in his professional opinion giving that I live across the world should I get home asap and he said yes come back - so here I am.
I'm not sure how i'll get through the next few weeks. The person I'd have leaned on back home is gone, and the other person I'd have confided in is going. I just hope I make it home in time. I'll be leaving for the airport before dawn and then it's a crazy trek across the States and figure out how on earth to get home.
I'm tired, of emotions, of crying and I'm fretting about work. I have pieces that are not finished and I am so sorry. I'm half way through a few of them. Please please pelase bare with me while I sort this out. If he does go, which everyone is saying it's going that direction, I'll have to sort out his estate, move my mom and get things sorted in that area.
I'll try to work while I'm out there, I'm taking a laptop and a tablet and trying to sort the files of mine that I had been working on.
I don't know when I'll be coming back to the UK at the moment, it truly depends on my family and how quickly I can sort out things and make sure my mother is taken care of.
I just don't think I can process the loss of my best friend and my father in less than 24 hours.

Heart Broken and Lost, Rest in Peace my Brother
General | Posted 9 years agoToday marks a very sad day for me, our friends, and our family.
2016 has been rife with taking people who mean things to you, be it with music or acting but it's harder when it is a person who is so close to you and your heart.
I've not had to go through the loss of a parent yet, mostly family but not immediate.. which is why this has taken me by complete surprise.
To start, my own father is in hospital again with kidneys failing (hoping that they've caught it again in time) so I know people are probably thinking that this is about him. It isn't.
There is one person who made my life better, who has been closer than any of my family has been.. and we grew up together. I've lost my best friend, my brother, my partner in crime and I don't know how to handle this.
If you know me, you know Levi. We've always been the terrible two's harassing people in and out of streams, causing havoc with friends but suddenly knowing that my angle is gone forever doesn't want to set in.
Through every bad period of my life there was always Levi, Brian if you know him personally, and he would always be the person to lift my head up and tell me "It's going to be alright," and I'm shaking knowing that he's never going to be there to do that anymore. Lost isn't the right word for this.
I want to be angry at him for leaving me. I want to be angry at God for taking him away but I'll always have that voice of his in the back of my head telling me to keep going and glaring at me when I don't do what he'd consider to be the best thing.
There is not one single bad thing I could say about him. His brother and I grew up together and Levi and I became really close in Highschool... I drew furries back then (not knowing there was a fandom) and together we made our own characters... my Panda Dako and his Korevo which you can see on his page today.
He is one of the reasons I'm here. He introduced me to the fandom properly in 2012 with firekitty in skype. I met alcapwny and neeco.
He is why I made the life that I did today. He is the reason I draw anymore and didn't give up years ago. If I've ever drawn for you, it's because of him.
Kevin, his brother, said something on the phone earlier today "He wanted you to find someone that loved you more than he did," in reference to Stu. There are no words to tell you how much I loved Levi, closer than family, it's almost like your husband just died.
Please know friends, he went peacefully. He's suffered too long, and now he doesn't have to any longer. As sudden and surprising as it is, I hope that those of you who knew him are in like mind of there was never anything poor to say about him. He would have given the shirt off of his back for anyone. It never mattered who you were, he'd out gift you if you even dared do something nice for him.
That is the person I aspire to be. I want to be like you Brian.
To Levi,
You have no idea how much I will miss you, and I know that you'd always read my journals and I feel like this is how I can connect to you. The more I write the more I'm losing it. I just want you to come back, there are so many things we still need to do. You were going to be my dad in my wedding and walk me down the aisle. We had just talked about it, and from that moment to now you're gone. I told Kevin I'm going come home to say good bye to you and I know you're saying no, but I need to see you again. I don't care how I get there, I need you.
Believe me you'll be missed more than anyone I know. Your brother just posted a really lovely letter letting facebook know what has happened. He loves you so much and you better be up there making your dad and grandpa eat loads of food. They must need you now. I'm stealing Korevo and Jose, and I'll do those pictures you wanted me to do. Don't worry, we won't let them go.
I love you. For always.

Last Day for Adoptable Christmas Aumakua's!
General | Posted 9 years agoEach Aumakua design/reference sheet comes with a necklace! I wanted a unique adoptable and finally designed something that means something to me. Aumakua's are sort of a Gryphon in these forms, but they are spirits that come in different styles. These are the first ones! =)

Christmas Commissions Open - Info Inside
General | Posted 9 years agoPRICE LIST: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14093104/
TOS: You agree to my TOS when you pay your invoice.
I'll ONLY BE ACCEPTING COMMISSIONS VIA E-MAIL @ Yankeedoodlesart[at]gmail.com - do not note me as they have been disabled. This is strictly for if FA does go down I can still correspond with my commissioners.
I am currently taking on a few pieces to finish before Christmas. I will not allow anyone to dictate to me what day they must have their image by, though I will take on as many as I know I can finish before Christmas Eve. At the moment I am working on my last commission from previous and then will be working on new pieces following its completion, thus why I am opening so that I do not lose any time in getting more images done.
So, this will be separated into two areas. Christmas Gifts for others, or Personal images for yourself.
If you have a gift, please specify. If the image is for you, you will be pushed to the back of the queue and I will work on it once all gifts are finished to make things fair on others waiting. If it is not a gift you may not have yours completed before Christmas, but I will work as quickly and diligently as I possibly can.
I DO have another hospital appointment this month however it's to discuss my next surgery thus I'll only be MIA on the 15th and again on my anniversary, the 21st, so I hope to work full weeks to finish and to recuperate cost of living over the last few months. @_@;; I hate credit cards, but when you don't have a choice, you don't have a choice.
So if you would like a commission of your character PLEASE e-mail me this information:
FA Username:
Paypal E-mail Address:
Is this a Christmas Gift?
Does this need to be completed before Christmas Eve?:
Type of Image (Bust/Waist Up/Fullbody):
Number of Characters:
Character Reference Images (I'm not great with text):
Character Name:
Species:
NSFW Y/N:
Background?:
If Platinum, what one word theme?:
Also include your references attached to your e-mail, not a link (unless you send a few images AND a link to a gallery). PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME LINKS ONLY.
This is so I have ease of use of e-mail for correspondence so if FA ever dies I have a dedicated e-mail address to continue with work.
Remember, e-mail only, and paypal invoice only. Amount is GBP (Great British Pound Sterling) and not USD or Euro.
Must make payment within 24 hours to hold your slot, and work will commence asap.

Finally Back! And Guest of Honour at JFTW! Comms, etc!
General | Posted 9 years agoHello friends!
I'm currently writing to you on a train journey so this may be a very bonkers post not as well formatted as I'd want it to be.
This will be sectioned into different parts to make it easier for you to read whatever you might be interested in!
Surgery and Recovery
I deeply have to apologize to all of you for taking so very long to get back to FA. I vastly underestimated the surgery I had done and thought it would be a simple recovery process. It wasn't. There are certain things that I'm not very good at and apparently gauging surgery times is one of them as this is the second major abdominal surgery I've had, and on a side note I go back in on December 15th for yet another consultation with my doctor about my hysterectomy that is still on the cards. Joy of joys!
It's been quite an adventure since September and I've needed the MIA time to not focus on furry things though I was trying to work through it whenever I could. I'm on the last two images now and those should be done soon, which will eventually lead me into reopening commissions so that will be another section.
There is a massive rant I want to give in this section but this is not the time or the place.
Just Fur The Weekend 2017 - Guest of Honour
I am very pleased to announce that I will be attending JFTW for the very first time and be a guest of honour as well! I honestly can't believe that anyone would ask me to do it, but I hope that I can shed some light on others on what it's like to be a freelance anime artist in the fandom and try to help others on setting up their businesses, how to stay proactive and generally how not to get discouraged with art slumps.
I don't know if I'll be able to have my sketchbooks here in time for JFTW because if I did I'd happily let people at my panels see my progress form when I was younger to today. Art is NOT a quick thing to achieve and we all work at different paces. I want to shed light on how to build your presence on websites like FA.
Discussing with Heartlilly about the options of panels, it sounds like I'll be doing two seperate ones. One will be a Draw with Me where we can come together as artists and just bounce work off eachother. Sort of an artist "cafe" if I can borrow that term from my dear friend Ara. I'm not the sort of person who will condemn another artist for being at a certain level. There are people who are so much more advanced than I am, and others who are just starting out.
The one thing I don't want to hear at my panels are anyone saying "I'm not good enough" because you are. No matter who you are. You are.
It will be designed as a build up session for us to get to hang out and chat about things!
The second panel I want to do is the basics of freelancing which will include a brief bit on taxes (I am not a tax adviser) and basic book keeping, over to paypal and using invoices, and then some other basics on how to talk to others. I come from a professional background in Real Estate and Administration so I use the things I've learned there in how I handle my artwork.
My little disclaimer is there is no "This way is the right way" or "thats wrong." You have to find your own path in the artist world but I'll do my best to give you the foundational building blocks to make yourselves successful in what you do if you want artwork to be a profession.
I will say its not glamourous. It's not high dollar rolling but if you're in a position like I am it's definitely what works for me.
So please, come on by to JFTW and say hello. I'll be all over the place! I've never been the sort of person to shun others at meets or conventions and pride myself on being very personable.
Thank you to the JFTW team for including me into your festivities and I hope to do you guys proud!
Commissions!
I'll be reopening for work in the next few days as I am on the last bits of one and then finishing the other. Once those are closer to being finished I will reopen for Christmas work of which you have to understand that I will not be given a deadline except before Christmas - I'll have a list of items I'll be taking on and if you do not have a Christmas gift image for someone else I will ask that you please state so, then I can figure out in what order to do my work in. If yours is personal and can wait a few extra days, then that's great.
Again I'm NOT open now, but I will be opening.
I know it's taken me way too long to finish the last group of images but I couldn't draw for a while. I kept trying and it was nothing I'd be willing to give to anyone as they've purchased my usual level of artwork. Now that I'm back at it, I'll be mass uploading all of the work I had completed over the last couple of months.
Charity Work
Another side to things is I've turned into the colourist for a UK run Charity. I'll probably disucss this a bit more later on more towards JFTW but I'm so pleased that the publishing pack is finished and is off to Leah Moore (the daughter of Alan Moore) for her scripting. I'm working with lovely people on this and hope that it'll take off and help make differences for other people. xx
Manchester Meet
Tomorrow we're making our way up to Manchester here in the UK to visit friends and to participate in the Winter festivities. I hope to see some of you guys there and please let me know if you're going!! :D Would love to see you guys again!!!!
I think thats all for now, and I hope that this isn't as random as it sounds like to me. @_@ I'm not the best at writing off the cuff and we've just come to the next train stop. Long trip today across the country and then back. Joy of joys!
See you guys soon.

MIA at the end of September
General | Posted 9 years agoHeya guys!
I am going for surgery near the end of the month and will not be able to work on anything for at least a week. I'll do my best to get as much done as I can between now and then, and then do as much as I can afterwards during healing stage. It's not a minor operation, but isn't life threatening!
Also if you want to contact me, please don't send me notes as I don't read them as I don't check FA very often.
E-mail is your best bet!
YankeeDoodlesArt @ Gmail.com

General | Posted 9 years agoSorry guys, I'll full up for now!
Heya guys,
I'm half way finished with one for Xev, so looking forward to sending that off to him.
Doing a YCH also, but that will be posted later.
I've messaged a couple of people who had inquired about work before I left on holiday to see if they wanted to continue with their ideas or leave it be.

Back from Vacation - Artist Update and Info
General | Posted 9 years agoHeya guys! Before I get into how my trip went, I want to go into updates to how I will be working.
NEW E-MAIL ADDRESS
I'll only be accepting work via e-mail from this point onward and my e-mail address has CHANGED.
Inquires will be sent to YankeeDoodlesArt[at]Gmail.com only - my old e-mail will be slowly switching over my new one.
Google Documents
I'll be switching to using Google Documents to get commission information combined with e-mail.
Work Time
My arms aren't getting any better and finding it difficult to draw for long periods of time, but I will be taking on a few commissions at a time to ensure prompt delivery and so that I can take things at a healthy pace for myself. I love drawing and have zero intention of quitting!!
Adding a Custom Printing Service for Conventions/Etsy
To try to make some form of revenue between artwork I'll be offering custom printing services for select items such as UV protected custom sticker sheets (either hand cut or sent as A4 sheets to cut yourself) of any size up to A4 sizes.
Keychains
Magnets
Printing and Laminating Badges
Eventually offering Vinyl designs on clothing and heat printing
Other stuff to be announced
So onto the trip...
The best and worst trip of my life
I had such a roller coaster of a trip. I had a fun time spending a few weeks with my son and took him to meet my biological family for the first time. We both fell in love instantly with my siblings, my nieces and nephews and in laws and it was truly a moment of feeling like it hasn't been 32 years in the making. It was like we grew up as a family and as if we never knew life with out one another. Truly a special few days.
My siblings came to surprise me at LAX and I had ZERO idea that they would be there when we landed and my brother caught this on facebook live:
https://www.facebook.com/jason.cole.....0389649162872/
They had a few videos on live and they had no idea they were at the wrong terminal XDD
https://www.facebook.com/jason.cole.....0389292713961/
After they found me and Ellis we decided to go to Denny's even though I was super tired! Watched all of GoT season 6 on the in flight entertainment!
https://www.facebook.com/jason.cole.....0389292713961/
After we had food with them they dropped us off at our hotel and had to drive straight back home to get my sister back in time for work.
After that we got my boy and headed up to my parents place...
My mom isn't doing well at all. Shes frail and looks nothing like herself. I highly suspect her cancer has come back but shes stubborn and says "The Lord will do with me as he pleases." Im not going to argue with her but it is just so disheartening seeing someone you love adamant about wanting to die - both of my adopted parents are very morbid.
Her eyes are starting to sink in a little and her weight has just fallen off so that she is just bone.
Dad isn't much better but his prostate cancer is no longer growing and hasn't changed at all since his last visit which just makes me so happy to hear some good news.
They both decided they wanted to seperate and couldn't figure out how to make it work without divorcing so my trip turned into destroying my bedroom to make my mom her own space (I haven't lived there in ages and I kept telling her to do it, but because she doesnt take the bull by the horns I completely redesigned and built her a comfortable bedroom that suits her from the bedding to the carpet.
Dad is having moments of clarity but hes doing illegal stuff like buying drugs from India from someone he says is his buddy. So shady but I kept having to rein him in as he kept trying to go to Walmart to moneygram this guy funds and had to do everything I could to convince him not to.
Lets say this trip included taking him to his weed dealer (gross), convincing him not to take a tazer to his hospital visit and trying to keep him away from his gun collection while I had my son in the house.
I am absolutely emotionally and physically exhausted and my jet lag isn't letting up. A huge thank you to

Going MIA until August 21st
General | Posted 9 years agoHeya guys and gals,
I'm just about finished with all of the pieces I've been working on.
Due to loads happening IRL this last month and a bit, I've been pretty quiet here on FA and mostly elsewhere as well. I'm off to the USA again to help my parents, spend time with my boy and meet my siblings for the first time. Really looking forward to that.
Aside from that I am having difficulties drawing. I've been at the doctors recently to get looked at because both arms fall asleep quite quickly when I'm sitting at the desk and can't open things easily since last week. They've both deteriorated quite quickly so I'm going for a bone and nerve scan when I'm back from the USA. I'm back to being splinted so I'm absolutely frustrated that I can't do things that are normally simple.
I will not be taking any commissions for the next few weeks as I wont be on FA and be not around a computer. Notes will also be disabled as I won't be able to respond. I'll turn them back on once I'm home again.

@Lapres On FurryNetwork
General | Posted 9 years ago14 YEARS OF LOOKING - I FOUND MY FAMILY!!!!!
General | Posted 9 years agoI want to say a HUGE HUGE HUGE thank you to you guys who cheered me on!!
So previous journals on the subject:
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6555028/
http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6584035/
So I want to give you guys an update as I have done absolutely nothing productive all weekend, but I have an amazing reason for why.
Last year on May 12th, I sent a message to someone I was 99.9% sure was my aunt and just hoped for a response.
I never got one.
Until last week. Not only did she say OMG YES that she was my auntie, but I have my brother and sister that I knew about, and THREE more brothers!!!
The three boys grew up together and my older brother and sister grew up together, but the eldest two hadn't known about the younger three.
They all knew I existed. They were looking.
I can't even begin to tell you what emotions I feel, there is just so much going on in my mind, and we've got so much to catch up on. I don't want to know about our mom since I know she died and I don't want it to be a sore subject. She sounds like she was all over the place and I highly suspected drugs played a massive part after talking to my biological dad a few years ago over dinner. Being pregnant with me, she fled California and he tracked her down to a drug plantation in Virginia and convinced her to come back with him to have the baby safely, so I always suspected I was a drug baby but if I infact was I don't know what she was taking. Luckily he never took anything, never had any interest.
There are so many questions like why was I the only one adopted? It sounds like everyone else was taken by their fathers and lived life without her.
That all said, I'm happy that I have a massive Hawaiian family!! I've met an uncle and two aunties, a cousin and all of my siblings so far. I'm probably the most quirky of us all, but one brother sounds like he's pretty on par with me, as if we grew up as twins! Haha. He's just hella tall. >:|
They're scattered around, I'm obviously the only one in the UK. One in Colorado, 3 in Nevada, 1 in California, and me. So wow, I suddenly have 4 brothers and a sister.
If you've followed me on facebook you'll have seen my page just explode!!!! I CANT BELIEVE IT. HOLYCRAP IT HAPPENED.
RIGHT, so I'll get my badges done today and mailed out tomorrow for anyone going to CF, and then finish a massive image that Im half way done with, and I want to record my Aywr commission again which is why Ive waited a bit to complete it! I need a stretch of day where I'll have no interruptions so Ive cleared my calendar!
IM STILL OVER THE MOON
OMG
I totally want a Hawaiian name now. I missed out!!!!!!!

Rant: Parents and flying home
General | Posted 9 years agoThis is mostly just verbal vomit. I want to just get my frustrations out somewhere that isn't somehow related to family.
Most of you don't know what my life is like, or has been like, but the very few of you who know me and my parents especially will probably understand this journal and why I'm so frustrated.
So, last year I went out to the USA to visit my parents and to move them. We agreed I'd come out with Ellis and we'd get them packed up and moved into another place that would cater to their needs.
So what did they decide to not do last minute? Move. They've been renting an apartment since 2007 and live on the top floor of a 3 story building. Mind you, its a lovely place, but both of them are very disabled and can't get up and down the stairs easily as there is no elevator. Mini breakdown my mother is a cancer survivor but has dealt with major emotional trauma for most of her life, if not all? Diabetes, hallucinations and refuses to go to the doctor because OhGodObamaCare and shes now saying she sees cropcircles showing up on her body. No one can drag her to get checked out and she keeps saying she sees flashes of lights which must be aliens and little bugs that are attacking her. -_- I love her but last time I was with her, it took her 2 weeks with a SEVERE UTI infection to finally get so painful and up in her kidneys that she HAD to go to the doctor. Well, thats mom - dad has PTSD, Parkinsons, Dementia, Diabetes, Prostate Cancer, Seizures, Loss of hearing, is morbidly obese and can't do anything without oxygen.
Frustratingly, they don't take advice from ANYONE and make irrational decisions, often. No one in my family can guide them and we've all tried to tell them to:)
A. Move closer to the VA hospital my dad goes to, my mom can only drive and dad has no license. She can't see at night and doesn't drive safely.
B. A retirement home with staff always on call would be amazing,
C. Keep renting and just downsize.
So to make that little breakdown easier, this is now whats suddenly happened:
A, B & C: Dad decided to buy a house in the middle of nowhere, with land, farther away from the VA hospital and DIDNT TELL MY MOTHER that he put an offer down. Luckily she liked the house when she saw it.
I'm frustrated. It was a bit surprising to mom since the house is totally in his name. I love him to pieces, don't get me wrong, and those who know him personally probably just eyeroll at this point in life, but I would love to hit my head on the desk over and over again. He's never thought about what my mom needs or wants and he doesn't think what it'll mean for me once he passes, as bad as that sounds. There is nothing I can do or say about his mental state because he's getting help from the VA to buy the house. I know its their life and they can do whatever they want to, but I've watched their issues since I was a baby and I've watched them struggle. They don't want the easy life, or an easier life and seem to enjoy making it more difficult on themselves and love telling me how sad they are Im not there. Which whenever I am, I run around doing everything or trying to keep them out of trouble. Dad honestly needs a leash when we go shopping, so thank GOD I had Ellis last time I went out. This time though I may be going it solo, I hope not but I'll probably cry if I do. Ellis has been a rock in my life since everything here in the UK fell apart and after meeting my family understand why I am the way I am and why little things can bother me so badly >_>; It's just the cards I was delt, so my grandma tells me.
Back to the house though. They don't even know at this point if its a 45 or 60 day escrow, so I'm absolutely useless at this point in time. I like planning. I love things being written down and I can follow plans. :| I'm not a spontaneous sort of person at all so my family is my kryptonite. I'll be flying out in June either early or late and boxing up their things, then organizing the move, then unpacking and getting them settled in. I need to find out if I can meet the neigbours and find anyone they know in the area. Then I have to try cleaning their old apartment to get some funds back, but I get to do it all solo. Well, just me and my 9 year old.
So this has been my life for the last few weeks and only just found out Thursday that "Oh dad put an offer and it's been accepted." I was happier when it was just "We're looking with a realtor, we won't rush to any conclusions."
:/
So I don't know when or how long I'll be in northern CA. I can't rent a car so will borrow theirs, and because I'm completely self employed doing artwork and with no laptop I'm not sure I'll have any sort of income when I go there. -_- I'll try to do traditional art and mail it out or something and hope that can keep me going and try to get as much work done between now and the end of May.
I know theres no point in posting this really, but I guess its a silly look at my life behind a computer screen. X3
I'm not after comments or anyone telling me what they should or shouldnt be doing. I love them both dearly, even if we aren't blood related, they were the only parents I knew growing up.
I just have that feeling where you want to scream into a pillow and not feel like youre doing this alone.

I do use a form that I put into my spreadsheets and I'll need that information. Look out for the next journal which will include that form. =)
Cheers guys, just a heads up!

Goodness! Getting used to FA's Beta
General | Posted 10 years agoI'm enjoying it so far, but I feel like I'm an old woman trying to figure out new technology! Crap, is this what my parents meant when they said I'd be like them one day?! NOOO.
Few things happening, loads of stuff that needs to be mailed out, hair has been chopped off for The Little Princess Trust so cheers to those who donated (I only asked privately however) so my long long locks are gone. A few new videos coming out soon, just need to compile every thing. Rah.
I'm super sorry to those who are waiting to hear back from me, I'm getting through my e-mails and notes! =) xx
Few videos for you guys for now!

My first proper Video!
General | Posted 10 years agohttps://youtu.be/uIP2mU8aF50
Heya guys! I'm working on my youtube videos on the side, and I'm still on track with all commissions, so this hasn't eaten into my time for my FA workload.
I wanted to share with you my first Digital Timelapse of a commission I finished last night. I've changed my Youtube name to YankeeDoodles and all of my corrospondence from now on will be Lapres or YankeeDoodles. Please subscribe if you enjoy art stuff! :D I'll be dropping another video tomorrow of a badge for one of my Patreons!
Woo!

Lapres On Youtube + Patreon
General | Posted 10 years agoHey guys!
Wanted to send out an update on ventures I'm doing at the moment. I've taken Youtube and Patreon on as my second job (part time) while still doing commissions full time.
I'm in the process of filming my Q&A for artists and hope that what I have information wise helps you grow as an artist!
Sketchbomb is a brand new channel so I'm looking for people to critique me on the way - I'm learning video editing as I go and how to use my tools differently.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB.....PZxHsMZN_21QTg
Again, I must stress that this is what I'm doing in my free/spare time. I want to go in this direction but I need your help to be able to do it! I'd totally appreciate followers on this account, and my instagram account!
https://www.instagram.com/sketchbomb/
Anyways, with that I decided to launch a Patreon account to aid with content for my Youtube channel. This is a long term kickstarter to get Sketchbomb off of the ground and a way to get artwork as well! This Patreon is not to support my Furaffinity commissioned work - though I will upload videos if I record progresses (speed paints) and I will share my finished SFW pictures to my Patreons as well just to show what I'm getting up to. This is for making the content for Sketchbomb in my free time as a second job. Commissioned work has priority.
Being a Patreon means you should get something out of it, obviously! I never agreed with "Get WIPs, PSD files, etc" as your only gifts. I actually have plans in place to reward my Patreons for long term following at the $10 and up mark.
https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2782921
Content on youtube should be accessible for everyone. All artists start somewhere and I want to give you my knowledge about art, business practices and laughs!
Here is to my new adventure. I'm looking forward to getting this off of the ground properly! xx
