Uh-oh. I'm falling in love with drawing snowflakes. Here's another one - and at the time I'm writing this, a third one is mostly drawn!
​ 

I've added it to my Society6 store, and you can see some examples of products adorned with this pattern below:

It's been a productive week! I drew two new symmetrical patterns, and added them to my Society6 store.

This was my first experiment with using a golden frame to enclose the gem-like shapes my favorite Krita brush makes.

I was originally planning to make it more intricate, but I didn't have a clear mental map of how it was going to look, so I just let it evolve as I drew, and this is how it turned out.

Here are a few items I think this pattern looks especially pretty on:
​
Throw pillows
Rectangular pillows
Wall murals
Wall clocks
Duvet covers
iPhone Skins
Shower Curtains
Tote Bags
Can Coolers
Backpacks
Metal Prints
Laptop & iPad Skins

You can see a preview of these items below:

I was watching Frozen, and it made me want to draw a snowflake. A few hours and several repetitions of various versions of Let It Go later, the snowflake is drawn, and I LOVE it; it's probably the most polished-looking pattern I've created so far.

I knew I wanted to have some smaller, blurrier snowflakes in the background, but for the frame, I was torn between snow clouds and an aurora.

I'd recently seen another artist's drawing of a night-themed horse whose mane resembled a midnight snowfall with clouds, and it was mesmerizing, so that was a big temptation. But auroras were a repeating event in Frozen, and I liked the way my experiments with them looked, so I decided to stay on-theme.

This pattern was a departure from my previous ones, in that I decided to try letting the spokes overlap a bit. In my other patterns, I kept the spokes much more separate, so I wanted to try something different this time, and I love the way it turned out.

Here are a few items I think this pattern looks especially cool on:

Framed Mini Art Prints
Throw Pillows
Rectangular Pillows
Wall Murals
Wall Clocks
Duvet Covers
Travel Mugs
Tote Bags
Shower Curtains
​Bar Stools
Fanny Packs
Coffee Mugs

Page 42 of my Undertale fan comic, Just Cause, is finally ready! You can read the comic from the beginning here.
 

Poor kid. Video game logic is confusing and cruel when it suddenly applies in real life.
 
Fun fact: I actually completely rewrote the script for this scene before I started drawing it. The first version felt too much like a cross between filler and an overview, and didn't reveal enough about the world for my taste.
 
I think this version does a better job of introducing Frisk to parts of the world they hadn't previously known about, and revealing bits of their mindset and past.
 
It also introduced me to the dilemma of how to show that a character is holding their breath, haha. *Resorts to spelling it out*

Whew, yesterday was a productive day. Three panels of Just Cause, and my most intricate symmetrical pattern to date, on top of all my other work.

I'm really happy with the way this one turned out.
​ 

These patterns make for a nice change of pace when I'm tired of the restriction of needing to create a specific shape, and I just want to make something beautiful while drawing whatever I want and letting it take shape as I go.

This pattern is available on a variety of products in my Society6 store. Here are a few of the items I think it looks especially good on:

Wall murals
Wall clocks
Tote bags
Throw pillows
Comforters
Shower curtains
Travel mugs
Coffee mugs
iPhone skins
Cutting boards
Coffee tables

Man, these symmetric patterns are fun to draw. And this time I made it at print resolution, so I can share it in my Society6 store!
​ 

I've been following a fellow artist, CatSpaceDesign, on DeviantArt for a while, and was inspired by her beautiful and intricate designs.
 
She published a basic symmetric pattern tutorial a while back, and I finally got around to using it to make a design of my own.

It's a lot simpler than most of her designs, and a bit rough in a couple places, but I'm fairly happy with how it turned out. I think I'll be making more of these in the future, on the days when I feel like drawing something other than Just Cause.

WHEN in the future, I'm not sure; I've learned to be cautious about making commitments to side projects, haha. But it was nice to draw something a bit less mentally demanding than a webcomic, and to just draw whatever looks nice and let it evolve as I went.

Special thanks to my Patrons, Mica and Trish, for helping to make art like this possible.
