Hello! Good morning! Saturday is here! 🎉

I thinkI had a pretty good week back at work! I'm feeling better still, I think whatever was wrong with me before is slowly getting better still.

I've been taking iron, fixing my caffeine intake [ I think I was accidentally adding a lot with an overnight oats recipe with cocoa powder and instant coffee 😂 I'm using decaf instant and a bit of matcha powder now instead ] and maybe most importantly, actually using my damn break timer and stopping entirely when I get a headache/too much neck pain.

I pretty much did exactly what I set out to do- 4 days of my normal sprite placeholder work, and then Friday for working on the book cover for Love Like Drowning. I had a nice stream and got the front cover art inked 👏 I'm hoping I can get it coloured next week, and then do the back cover image in two more sessions.

So, overall, just a good week I think! Fairly productive with the sprites too, even though I did that for 4 days instead of 5.

[ Please don't repost my stuff to social media | Пожалуйста, не публикуйте мои работы в TikTok. ]

Here's how the cover is going so far!

Willow Corner!

And that's about all I got for today! Short and sweet! I'm gonna have a chill weekend and hopefully do about the same next week.

Thank you guys for the support and thanks to everyone who dropped in to the stream and was nice!

Stay cool and safe folks, see you next week!

beryl

Pineapplecasket

Ugh Lawrence's faces are going to have me in a chokehold all weekend... Week... Month... Ye-- So glad you're feeling better! 🩷 Enjoyed the art stream yesterday-- really looking forward to your next one, I'm so interested in seeing your coloring process for the book cover!

Moth

Aaa the sprites look so good!!! I'm so curious what he's saying in the second one! The cover is also really cool, I've just started reading love like drowning and I really like it:) I hope your week is going well!! HI WILLOW

serpulalacrymans

The cover looks so good!! And the first Lawrence pic omg??? Art is awesome as always, glad u taking those breaks! ^_^

Sly

I kinda hope we get to see Lawrence with his hair out and messy. Rapunzel, let down your golden hair. 🫪

Ginny

Ashe

HEY GATOBOB,I’ve been seeing these updates in TikTok edits of Lawrance, and it really bothered me. I kept pointing out that you always ask us not to post anything on TikTok; I’ve even gotten into arguments with a lot of people over this, and some have blocked me 😅. What do you think about the people who still don't respect your decision?BTW, WE LOVE WILLOW CORNER!!

M0th.animates

Ughhh im so excited for this game. It looks so good so far!!

Cadaverdog

I'm glad your health is getting better! And thanks for tolerating my abrasive ass in your stream yesterday lol, I still had fun!

Mortimerina

I can't get over the new Lawrence art- he's literally so damn pretty with that flustered + obsessed face😨🩵 The stream was awesome! you should stream more often (if you want ofc) you're great at it ^o^ It would be great to be able to send you donations maybe

Luarion_

I screamed like crazy when I saw Lawrence, you're amazing Gato! 🐱

Barghest shadows

HOORAY for productive week, I couldn't stay for all your stream but that barrel latch really did pay off ☺️ I got the book too I'm 5 chapters away from the barrel chapter, I'll scream at you next Saturday about it 🖤

audacityofyou

The guy in the book cover holding the weapon is reminding me of mads/Hannibal! It looks incredible so far!

Pastel

Take care, Gato 🫶

Luarion_

Willow the goat

Sara Fernández

I'm glad you are feeling much better! Happy rest of the week!!!

Dadizz

OHH THESE ARE RAD! Excited for the final cover of LLD too! I picked it up when you mentioned it in your last post and binged and LOVED it!!

ODDAUDIT

First of all, all thr placeholders look INCREDIBLE so far. Im so unbelievably excited for YKMET: Law I cannot BEGIN to express it!!! Second, you should totally try out dandy blend coffee in your oats 🫡. Its like, a dandelion coffee blend. It sounds weird! But its pretty much just another brand of instant noncaff coffee. Its what I do for mine and I think its pretty yummy!

damian

loving the cover so far! i enjoyed the stream as well :] (probably too much, cause i ended up watching you draw instead of doing my college assignments #oops)

nami

so glad you're feeling better gato! take care 💟

Peoni

Excited for The River 🌸 Missed the stream as I was at work (vet nurse) but I’m glad the spark has returned 🪻

Peoni

Update: his eyes are very… goat-like. Or like a stag in the sunlight. I mean this positively. It’s pretty!

Taheca

OOH SOME UNHINGED LAWRENCE 👀 Loving the cover, and Willow! Glad you're actually taking your breaks 💛

Efi

I really really hope I will be able to buy this book when it comes out with you cover art!

Just Jazzuh

Always makes me happy seeing your Saturday updates Gato!!! Our timezones are hella different (I live 15 hours ahead of yours) so usually I’ll patiently wait at night here for your updates before I go to bed lol

SpexTheShark

Mannn seeing him full on smile with the crazy in his eyes is unnerving as fuck. What a little freak <3 amazing job as usual!

kajerone

I’m so glad to hear you’re feeling better! The book cover is looking excellent, and so is Lawrence. The juxtaposition of him blushing and then being manic is uhhh delicious *chefs kiss*

Mari Zen

Saturday news, yeah!!! 🤩 I'm glad to read that you're better now, you definitely needed to adjust the routine to rest your creative intelligence (that's important for ideas to flow). I also remember that my mom says it's bad to drink caffeine before bed, so it was bad that you did that with oatmeal hehe 😅. As we say, take it easy and do it with pleasure, take your mental breaks and if you want draw other things so that your brain cheers up much more hehe. PS: today is cat day, congratulations to your beautiful michi 🥺❤️🐱

Gatobob

I just don't think about it very much. I can ask people to respect my wishes, but I'll never be able to actually control people. Some people are assholes and there's nothing I can do about it, so I just focus on other things

Felix

Has anyone read love like drowning and can provide the full tw list in the back? I have PTSD, but the author doesn’t have a website so I can’t get that information unless I already pay for the book. Which I wanna read, but I’m not paying for a book if they won’t tell me if it’s accessible to me or not. I’m not risking wasting my money in this economy. If it was in the front of the book, I could at least see it in the previews. But no, they put it in the back.

Gatobob

you're all good man, dw!

Gatobob

I may do it more in the future if I have energy! I don't need no dang donations though LMAO

BanditoBurrito

Your Gregory and Sinclair artwork is amazing! I watched a little bit of the livestream while I should have been sleeping for my nightshift. Worth it. It made me so giddy to see you working on it. I already have the kindle version and a paperback, but I'll be buying the version with your cover art the second I learn it's out. Sooooo excited. Also in love with the Lawrence art this week. He's such a cutie, too. Everything you draw is just mwah. :3 I'm glad you're feeling better this week! It all comes and goes in waves. Life, am I right? Sending lots of love to you and Willow! 🖤🩶🤎

Gatobob

I'm looking into it and will get back to you 🫡

Felix

My hero! Thank you so much

ResidentReptile

I need that white man so bad you don't understand <333 does he have blood on his hand cuz we bit him??

mai

WILLOW IS SO CUTE OWWWWW😭

Gatobob

I stream sometimes, quite rarely. I never schedule them in advance and it’s random. I just post here on Patreon when I do it

kittenpartymeow

Okay thank you! :) hope you're having a good Saturday

Luarion_

Gato I hope you have a lovely day! If possible, I’d love to know a fun fact about Marten, maybe who inspired his creation or just a Fun fact about him!

Nor

YAY! I'm so glad you had a great, productive week!💙💙💙 Tell me, did you do a stream? Where do you host them—right here on Patreon? I just didn't get a notification or anything like that, and I'd love to catch the next one >.<

Gatobob

I make a temporary post here on Patreon every time I stream. I stream on Picarto [ Gatobob ]

Ashe

AWW WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH GATOBOB🥹

Annepey775

WOAHHHH this looks absolutely amazing on both parts. I feel like you captured Sinclair and Gregory's essence so well. I'm so excited to see them colored. I hope you and Cars can sell prints or whatever art sometime. I neeeeeeeeed to physically carve this story into my life some other way while I figure out the exact design I want tattooed on my skin And I'm SO excited to see what's got Lawrence looking at Funky Muffler or whatever you call the MC like that

Narwhal Panini

HEHEHE THAT FIRST PIC OF LAWERENCE GOT ME FEELING A LIL SOMETHING🫪 glad you’re feeling better! And awww little willow what are you doing even silly sleepy weepy willow

TK

Read the book on your recommendation recently and loved it! Will definitely get a physical copy with your new cover when that's out! Seriously the perfect scene choice for it too, who could not be intrigued by that? :D Loving the look of the Lawrence drawings too (and of course lovely to hear you're hopefully just chilling and taking time for yourself and Willow this weekend). 🖤

Mynthoo

I feel that Iron and Caffeine tidbit so hard. Fucking love the unhinged Lawrence so much, pure neuron activation

Car

I love how you captured Sinclair’s unhinged adoration so perfectly. He was looking at Gregory like that so often that even Gregory’s autistic self-hating ass got the inkling that Sinclair actually liked him. I love Lawrence's dazed happy expression in the first pic.

Cam Chameleon

Erm akshually, Willow is a cat 🙄🤓👆/silly

tieuminh dang

I love our weekly mental food corner and willow corner so much 🥹

tieuminh dang

But gato matcha has more cafeine than regular coffee so you might be careful with your night snack if you don't wanna lose ur sleep. On a good side (or not) it slowly release cafeine so you wont get crazy immediately

Kiki

Damn boy must be talking dirty if its censored >>> /j

Gatobob

Dw I’m using a smaller amount for the matcha, and it’s a breakfast

Emily Lemur

Ooooh those EXPRESSIONS!

Lolhopetch

Best birthday present ever 🥹🥹🥳🎂🎂 The cover and sprites are looking sooo good, very yummuy! I myself am also trying to take more iron pills, very hard to keep track of 😅😅 Be sure to use your break timer!! Good job this week and good luck!! Stay hydrated and well fed 🫂🎂

Phoenix Astra's Art Patreon

Lawrence became such a quick fav, ugh, I love him so much. Also your kitty is soooo cuteee

tito

HAHA! The same thing happened to me, I tried my best to get the person to delete the content but THEY BLOCKED ME

m3lody_XoXo

The stream was so good and I'm so happy it started just when i got to cleaning. So happy to hear you're feeling better :>

Luarion_

The cutest silly cat ever 🐱

file0sammy!

Are fans allowed to send you their fanart so you can see the amazing work?

Gatobob

I don’t think people can send images through patreon to me but I’d be happy with links if people want to show me things!

file0sammy!

I would love to show you my two revamp pieces of my old art of ykmet of law and strade and funny enough making summer keychains for law, ren, and strade!

Gatobob

Oooh!! I love them! They look great 😄👏

corn

Yesss everything is looking so good! I love how much more animated Law gets when he's doing his thing :D as a side note, if you've watched JJK, what do you think the main 3's cursed techniques would be?

Gatobob

I havent watched enough JJK to answer this unfortunately! I watched a few eps and got sidetracked/bored tbh 🤔

peebsie

Hallo Willow!! Hallo Gato!! ….yeahhhh that’ll do ya for a headache😅 I hope you’re feeling better!! That cover is gorgeous, amazing work! Hope you’re doing okay, heard about the wildfires up there. How’s the wood paneling going? Thanks for the update, sorry my response was so late—spent Saturday in the hospital for my cancer checkup, but I’m home now and immediately checked! The game cg panels look cool!! Great work as always!! Take care!!🫂❤️

Mae Mae

the first sketch is actually driving me insane- idk how or why but my obsession with ren has aggressively switched to lawrence and ive been drawing him nonstop. i’m eating SO well with the angles of his lovely face 😋

snoe

he looks so crazy i wnna bite him

Hexed Honey

AHH GATO this is so cool! The third one is my favorite omg. Your work is part of what inspired me to make my own visual novel :,) you're so awesome!

Canary81

Hi Gato! I've been making Strade's basement in Blender and wanted to share the progress with you. Is there any ways to send you pictures?

Gatobob

I'm afraid that you can't send pics through patreon, and I don't have any other contact. You can link me if you manage to get them online somewhere though!

Gatobob

WOW! That looks amazing, and so accurate! That must have taken forever 😂

Canary81

Only a few hours, really, but the rest will take more :'). I like how much wires and other small details You put into his basement, really looks like Strade himself put electricity down there in a way only he can clearly understand how this thing work xd. This place is really interesting to work on

Purin

who is this person next to Ashe?

Gatobob

This is Gregory [ long hair ] and Sinclair [ short hair ] from the book Love Like Drowning by Carson Wulff on Amazon!

Sonyian

Just got done playing all the games and I have to say Ren is my absolute favorite character! Hope his route gets remade!

Mape

Litch this man up so I can bitch this man out 🙏
