August 2026 - S (Patreon)

Feels good to draw again! Nearly all the aches and pains are gone, and I spent a huge chunk of August catching up on personal work! Did a decent amount of commissions, some comic pages, and remembered that I can just draw fanart. So despite a rough start, it's been a pretty good month overall. c:Hoping to keep balancing work and personal time like this going forward. Had a great time exploring art, stories, and my own ideas, and it was nice not feeling guilty for turning down commissions -- even if the main reason was a series of painful stress injuries. Thanks for helping me do what I do, and hope you enjoy this set!

Now some bonus info: The wayward humans in that Starfox fanart are part of an old sci-fi setting I've been reworking, tentatively called "Phare Out". It's actually the setting Essyx was originally developed in before he was adapted for a fantasy world. It's pulpy, punky, and broadly about the misadventures of the Samba del Sol, an ancient colony-ship that escaped Earth after an apocalyptic invasion, as the survivors' descendants struggle to find their place in a star cluster full of interstellar powers, colossal beasts, and deep mysteries. Not sure where things will end up, but there's a folder of exploratory doodles in this pack.
