Currently taking preorders for a small Krea plushie! It's already on production and expected to hopefully ship out this month, you can grab one for yourself over on Ko-Fi!

Every preorder (until the 10th) will include a bonus acrylic charm for free, I'm currently taking votes to see which one will be made!

Vote for your favorite here!

In other news, over on Patreon I'm making the last illustration poll of the year, you are welcome to include your own characters! So consider joining, tomorrow is the last day to do so!

Hello!

I'm sorry for the wait, I wanted to announce the winners with a small comic but that takes time... so a news post it is!

First of all thank you everyone who joined!! I was surprised at the amount of entries.... it was very tough to choose just 3 winners! The worst part about hosting contests is that I can't give prizes to everyone as much as I would love to...

Without much delay, here are the winners!

First place: 

I fell in love the moment I saw this one! The scenario is a lot of fun, I liked seeing the contrast between how happy everyone is in this in comparison to some of the events of the comic, while very different, everyone feels super in character! Ram in particular made me laugh. The colors are so nice, too!

Second place:

I have a soft spot for traditional pieces... I was so surprised to see a watercolor entry! The composition is so cool, alongside the stylish take on the characters! It feels strangely nostalgic.... I cant pinpoint what is it about it that makes me feel that way... But I love it a lot regardless!

Third place:

I was also very surprised to see 3D works in this! Unintentionally but I'm glad the winners ended up being a showcase of different mediums... This one was a lot of fun too! The little animation is very hypnotic, I keep looking at it over and over thinking maaybe I missed a pose... Its stylized in such a cute way, too! I always wondered how Krea's weird ears/hair would translate in 3D, and the answer is here!

Congrats to @bergoq, @slimygoo and @tomdoy!!

I want to also shot out to the runner ups, these and the ones above had me very troubled on which to pick!! They are in no particular order:

Once again I want to thank everyone for joining! And once again I apologize for not being able to give back someone to everyone, I seriously wish I could!! I even feel bad I can't list everyone as a runner up.... There isn't a single entry that I didn't love! From character choices to compositions, I was so surprised at the variety of what everyone did!

I will be leaving comments for you all! I wanted to wait until this was all over so everyone would be blind as to what the outcome would be, if that makes sense..

Please check out the rest! I made a playlist for it:

Thank you again everyone!!

Tomorrow Wednesday 25th at 11:59PM PST is your last chance to join!!

Winners will be announced on the 31st!!!

I wanted to make a doodle for this but I'm finally back from the con and feeling slightly sick lol

You can check all the cool entries so far here!!!

One week left until the contest ends!!! There's already so many good entries itll be hard to choose the top 3..... make it even harder by joining!!!!!

You can see all the current entries here!

In other news I will be attending Confuror in Guadalajara, Mexico alongside @ChipsGoWoah! We'll be there all weekend.

If you happen to be also attending or just are in the area, feel free to come by and say hi! If u stop by and say ur from Newgrounds I'll give u a cute little sticker for free.

And finally I'm starting a newsletter! It'll kinda be like a free version of Patreon where I'll update you on whatever I may be working on, I'll also use it to make any announcements regarding online merch sales. A plush for Krea is in the works!

I don't have much else to say lol, everything leading up to the comoic and immediately after having to preepare for the con has kept me very busy, so glad it's almost all over!!!!

I'll make a nicer announcement about it later with a drawing lol, but I finally started a comic after so long since the last one! The first 29 pages are available to read on Patreon, available to everyone no matter the tier. It'd mean a lot if you could check it out!

It features Krea alongside her friends that I barely draw, thankfully I finally get to expand on their world a bit more...

It'll be a long form comic, I'd like to update a chapter once a month, but I still need to get used to balancing illustration and comic work lol....

It's hard to know what pages to preview since there are a lot of things I want to keep as a surprise, but these panels are nice enough on their own

the ocassional reminder that i got a patreon that u should join, we got a discord server going on, advice, timelapses, exclusive comics and drawings, (not just porn lol) looks into my sketchbooks and traditional work and a lot more, so ur missing out big time for not being there

tomorrow ill be taking suggestions for the upcoming monthly polls, your own ocs are able to be suggested this time! so make sure u dont miss out and join today!

long story short i really wanna make more comics and original work, but commissions get a lot in the way, so i decided to finally open up a patreon to have some more time for my own projects!

ill be offering psds, timelapses, polls, raffles and nsfw stuff! something that many of u have been wanting for a long time lol

thank u for reading this little update! and endless thanks if u decide to support me!

Single character pinup: $200 USD

NSFW: +$75USD

Private: +$100USD

Commercial use: Double of the total commission fee

Commission form can be found here

Rules:

• It can take a few days to get a reply to your request, not getting a response right away does not mean getting rejected!
• NO REFUNDS. PayPal Mexico doesn't support PayPal credit, meaning that refunds have to be accepted and processed by my bank account, this can lead to many inconveniences due to declined transactions or issues with currency conversions. Refunds aren't as easy to for me to go through, and avoiding them saves both parties the potential headache that they might cause, so please only commission if you can afford it without running the risk of being low in funds.

Your financial well being is more important than a picture.

• Prices can increase due to complexity, but won't be lowered.
• Payments must be upfront before any work is done, only through PayPal.
• Payment plans are allowed if it's easier or more manageable for you, however work will not start until the request is fully paid.
• Please avoid asking for updates, if I don't give you any it is due to there being none yet. I am more than aware of the work I have to do, nagging me about it won't make me work on it any faster.

You can always check the status of your commission alongside others in my Trello list!

• Please be patient. It might take over a month on average to complete, potentially more in certain cases. If you are not willing to wait do not commission me.
• You'll only be shown a rough sketch, once it's approved I'll go onto finishing it, there will be no feedback during the process. If you want to be involved in every step of the way you will be charged an additional fee of $50 (starting price, might increase depending on the complexity of the piece). However, minor corrections or genuine mistakes on my end are allowed on the finished drawing without extra costs, within reason.
• Your commissioned piece will be shared on Patreon alongside any other assets (PSD, timelapse) unless it is a commercial piece.
• NSFW work is now available, costing an extra fee of $75. Do keep in mind that I'm mainly comfortable with tame stuff and nudity, so please respect and be aware that I might have to decline your request if it's a bit outside my personal line.
• Private commissions will be charged an additional fee of $100. They won't be shared on social media, however, they will be posted on Patreon.
• Bonuses:

You'll get 30% off if your request includes any of my characters lol, but I may decline

Patreons get discounted prices, you can find an exclusive form through the Discord server

If there's any questions needed feel free to shoot a message about it!

Thanks for reading!

I'm not very good at writing at all but I felt like typing out my thoughts on what happened throughout the year.

2020 was for better or for worse probably the most eventful in my short short life, on the first 3 days had my visa petition denied and just a few days later someone from my family had passed away , shouldve really taken that as a sign of all the shit that'd end up coming up later.

Loss in general was a pretty common thing, either just more deaths in the family (as someone who really hasn't had a lot of experience with death those were pretty big hits) or loss of friends due to just losing contact with one another or due to xyz circumstances, it sucks but what can you really do about it, you live and you learn.

On the bright side all the deaths made me a bit paranoid and pushed me to make the potentially reckless choice of dropping out of college, I was just 1 year away from graduating but it made me feel miserable, whenever I have strong feelings towards something I feel like vomiting (even if it's a good feeling like excitement lol), going to school made me feel so miserable I felt like puking everyday I had to go or to attend the online calls. I felt like it was also just in the way of my journey as a freelance, like most schools it's a complete joke, I'd just go sit down and work on commissions during classes because I just didn't have to put the effort to get good grades.

I kept thinking to myself "man it'd suck to die before i graduate and not have been able to do all the stuff I wanted to just because of school". If everything backfires school will always there with open arms to take my money anyways, but freelance opportunities are fleeting and I'd rather take the risk, I wanna pursue the things that make me happy

Covid wasn't really a negative for me, I had already done a sort of self imposed year of just self isolation so it didn't affect me as much as others did. I wish it still wasn't a thing regardless, one of the passings was from my direct family, so having to be stuck indoors made trying to distract my mind from it tougher than just going out and getting lost walking around. It was sort of a blessing and a curse, because quarantine gave me no other real choice than to just do work to keep my mind off of whatever was going on with life

And to say something positive for once I guess it was a very productive year, I don't know if I improved my skills a lot, but I think I can safely say I'm way more confident in my work, either just being able to say that yeah I did a good job or just feeling confident that I can tackle whatever people wanna throw my way.

Whenever I try to think of what good stuff happened this year I always just think "lol i made a comic and got some cool stupid expensive chinese toys i wanted", which is kinda shallow maybe but it did have an impact. I usually say that I don't like people who just go around saying "oh i wanna make a comic and whatnot", and always felt hypocritical about it since well, I was the same, with plans for doing so but never committing due to time or whatever.

It feels nice to finally be able to say yeah I made something, and the reaction of people surprised me a lot, I know people care about my work since well you guys make it clear through the comments, but whenever I draw my own characters I do so mainly for myself first and foremost, it's a very bizarre but extremely good feeling to still receive messages of people asking when I'm continuing the story or if I plan to make more comics at all even half a year after the short story I wrote was done. It somehow feels like proof that these characters don't just live in my head anymore, people like them and want to see more of em and it makes me extremely happy, drawing that comic and the reception it got is probably the highlight of the year for me.

I think that's all about I have to say for this retrospective, after the comic it was going back to grinding commission work so not a whole lot of interesting things happened afterwards. If you're still reading this I appreciate you taking the time to doing so and I hope it wasn't too much of a ramble lol, I just wanted to vomit out my thoughts so some stuff probably sounds weird or maybe I came off as extremely negative but who cares

Here's hoping the next year is better for everyone, wishing you guys the best and I hope you're able to meet your goals!

Thank you all for the support in here, I don't reply to comments that much because I don't wanna endldessly spam "thank u : )", but I definitely want you guys to know that I read and appreciate all of em, comment notifications are the only thing I have enabled in here, they really make me happy to read through!

as a bonus heres my favorite pieces from each month, would love to hear which drawings of mine stood out to you this year if any!
