ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ Sup ya’ll

It’s been a lonnnnnnng while since I updated this art blog, I know. I fully intended to upload things by the end of 2024, but the holidays left me busy and exhausted.

There’s a lot to say about the last year and my goals for 2025, but for now, I'll use the next week to play some catch-up with sharing my artwork each evening. This will just include the major art and characters I got to in the year, but for other updates and tidbits, feel free to visit and follow me on Bluesky!

‘Sup everyone! So I shared a few reward examples on Patreon the other day, one of which I’ve already shared on my art tumblr here. I thought I’d also share this more relevant one on the DEITIES blog.

Here’s another sample of what patrons will receive when choosing the  $5/month "Ib" tier. Admittedly, I've never made time to create process GIFs of my artwork, but I'll gladly offer them for some artwork for interested patrons. They'll either be done alongside or in place of the step-by-step process shots for the same finished artwork.

The original artwork of Set and Sobek for this process gif can be found HERE. More information can be found on my patreon, and if you’re interested in seeing more, please consider making a pledge!

UPDATE: 2022 ➝ 2023 New Year Reflections + Goals

Happy New Year to everyone! I know I’m a week late, and most people have already written their own New Years reflections by now, but I waited until after the holiday rush to collect my thoughts. [...] I originally intended to write an update that only pertained to DEITIES Project [...] but I figured it’d be better to reflect on everything within the same post, this time using the blog feature on my OC’ Portfolio. With this in mind, here’s a retrospective for my past year, and an idea of what I hope to accomplish in the new year…

Rounding things out with the annual tradition, my 2022 Art Summary!

While it was still a quiet year for me overall, I know I completed a lot more art this year compared to the previous one -- both for myself and for others! I couldn’t fit in everything in the template, but I enjoyed my progress from this year and I’m looking forward to the next!

It's been a hot minute since I did a formal Art Summary, but I gave it a go /o/ Here's some of my favorite digital and pencil art from 2021 🙌 It was a slower year for creating, but I got thru more than I thought!

2021′s been exhausting for multiple reasons, and it seems this is something a lot of other people are feeling, too. But I’m looking forward to making progress in 2022 and start the new year on more promising note 👍

I know this tag bandwagon is outdated by now, but might as well share it for posterity.

Haven't drawn myself in ages, but this was a fun exercise to work on! Also adding some samples of what my art style can actually look like

This isn’t the usual format for this meme from twitter, but the best way I can measure my own growth is comparing art of my OCs -- most which were created this past decade.

First three for the humans (or human-like, since all of them are pokemon gijinka aha--), and then the last three for non-human designs -- and a pokemon that happens to be human-like LMAO. Seems everything from my lines, colors, forms/shapes and "polish" has gradually shifted to the style I have now, and I'm happy w/ the improvement

None are from 2019 cuz most of my '19 art feature OCs/designs that didn't exist a decade ago, and the most that had changed was a new, crisper lining brush from CSP. Hopefully I'll have something worth redrawing from 2010 to make it a direct comparison, but I hope this works for now!

Support creators you love. Buy a coffee for TeniCola with Ko-fi.com

Hey everyone! As I had mentioned in my previous post on tumblr and elsewhere, I'll be using Ko-fi as my main support platform going forward for my artwork and my DEITIES Project! I'll also be using my public Ko-fi gallery to share occasional WIPs and screenshots of my digital art, and in the future I'll aim to offer other incentives for supporters, once I have time to experiment with different types.

For the time being though, any support is greatly appreciated!! And feel free to follow me on Ko-fi to get notifications and view WIPs of upcoming art as I share them (including the one I just posted rn--), thank you!
