Inspired by Patrons! (Patreon)

I keep hyping this point, cuz it's important to me: Having folks provide prompts and ideas helps me execute when my brain is frazzled! Here are some results from the initial submissions, to show that it's helping, and that you get art out of it! Become a patron and get a chance as some sketches!

Above is a pet portrait of a kitty named Maleficent. The needed tone there was obvious, yes??? You too can see your pet as a nifty sketch, or even get them Precocized! (To improve odds your friend gets chosen, provide a quick description of gender/personality/whatnot to help inspire the art. This is extra important if you want them Precocized, as I gotta figure out clothes/posture/expression/whatnot.)

And here are two OCs that were submitted. Since this was a warmup exercise, I chose the poses based on what I was doing at the time. I mixed an amaretto cola, and memorialized it by having the guy I was drawing sip it. I sat down to draw her when I started watching the new release of Evangelion. I opened my sketchbook when the voiceover talked about "more fan service!" and I TOOK IT AS A CHALLENGE! (That show has an absurd amount of women walking around in mixed company wearing only towels.)

I only have a couple of OCs submitted left to draw from, so I'm hoping these results tease others into joining the party. I'm too erratic and shaky to take on real commissions, but I really miss drawing them, so this half-commission stuff as warm up work is a good compromise! 

While I chose the form of these OCs, you can offer suggestions for yours. Just know I might do whatever I want with 'em! The goal is doing these to warm ups, so my benefit comes first, but I can wanna make folks happy. You're building me back up to working condition, and you get a chance at cute art!

I'd love to have a nice stash of options to draw from, so I can pick based on my mood, so backers should send in pet pics and character references! Email me - chrispco@yahoo.com - or DM me over on Twitter - @chrispco - to deliver references. 

Let's see if I can keep rebuilding my energy levels, and make more sketches to share. (And eventually build up the stuff everyone *actually* wants...)
