BIG POST: HAPPY NEW YEEAAAR!! ✨✨✨ (Patreon)

Happy Monday! Happy New Year! Good mornin', Patreon pals!! I'VE MISSED YA, and I'm SO BEYOND READY TO BE BACK and sharing what I've been workin' on!!

Let's do this 😎

Firstly, the most obvious bit, THE FIRST MONTHLY WALLPAPER OF THE YEAR! YAY! I'm a big pattern person, so I had an idea to create some of my own!? AND, make them wallpapers for YOU!? Yes. Though, I simply couldn't decide between the two color palettes, as per usual, so you get both hehe!!

Okay, next, I HAVE BEEN SKETCHIN' SO MANY THINGS!

I've been getting asked quite a bit about Ms. Bertie the Fairy Bear, so I thought I'd make a big ol' detailed, mega Bertie illustration-

and, I may have already started lining it!

I'm still playing around with her design a bit, but goodness, I have loved drawing her!

From there, I wanted to doodle some sticker ideas- ideas pulled from the little characters hidden throughout the Bertie illo 😉

sleeeeby toad + magical moth!! (these sketches are.. haha!)

AHH! Also, as most of you know, I've been stumbling about for at least a year trying to come up with an autumnalwood-esque owl design that I actually LIKE, and I think it's finally happened! Thus, snuggly, patchy, floofy owl doodle- sketched!

From there, I felt like I needed to visit the sun and moon and, well...

I thought I could make a super special, very magical animation of them jumping from cloud to cloud together? Let's put my minimal animating skills to the test with these two yet again, shall we? 😌

I totally just spewed all of those at you out of utter excitement, but I am just SO glad to be back! I feel rested, FINALLY! I feel ready to tackle big ol' doodles! And, I truly cannot wait to share with you all of the things!!

January, officially, marks my fourth year being on Patreon, and I may or may not have gotten a bit choked up when I realized that this past weekend. So, as always always, I just want to thank you, thank you, thank you for being here with me along the way!

I have a feeling this year is going to be rather, very, wonderfully, extra special 🥹

See you again soon,

Aub
