October’s Sketchbook 

This month’s sketchbook is up for the Grab Bag tier on Patreon and my VIP Blog

A shorter sketchbook this time, and a bit late because I had so much jetlag from my honeymoon trip! Max and I went to Japan and it was so much fun – however I didn’t do any drawing while I was there like I thought! This month I’ve got some fun Halloween Makas for you, pen tests, new and old OC concept art and of course some great shoutouts from my Private Collector folks!

JAPAN!

Max and I just got back from our honeymoon in Japan and it was absolutely incredible! We went to Tokyo, Hakone and Kyoto, got to take the subway, bullet train and a really cute retro streetcar. Of course we bought a lot too!

I’m thinking about drawing a travelogue about our trip, since Max and I kept journals while we were there we have pretty detailed notes along with the 900ish photos we took between the two of us.

I may make a separate photo post once I organize all my photos and get my film photos back from my camera lab (I took a film camera with me as well).

We had an incredibly clear view of Mt. Fuji herself!

Other things

My birthday’s tomorrow (November 5th) and I’m thinking of doing a giveaway for it, stay tuned!

For now, I’m done my big video game contract and I cannot wait to share this game with you all! I’m so proud of the work the team did on this.

I’m taking the rest of the year to focus on personal art, catch up on webcomic work, and post regularly to Patreon and my VIP Blog again! Things that’ll be starting up again in the next week: Alola Darumaka and The Curtain Falls!

Might make a photography portion on my blog to share some of the photography I’ve been doing as a hobby, it’s been a lot of fun!
