Speedpaint: Designing Kivara the Charishi Kitten (Narrated)

12/6/2022

0 Comments

 
In this speedpaint, I'm designing Kivara the Charishi kitten, a chaotic little member of a feline species in my fantasy short story and upcoming novel, Upholding the Covenant.

While I design her, I'll be sharing cute and funny Kivara moments, new facts about Charishi culture and biology, and insights into how the jock baby's friendship with nerd ambassador Orennian developed.
​ 
 
​You can
read Kivara and Orennian’s short story for free here.

To get this artwork on physical items, visit my stores at RedBubble and Society6.

Speedpaint: Designing Kivara the Charishi Kitten

​Remember that concept art for Kivara I recently shared? If you want to see what my drawing process looks like in fast forward, while listening to music that's far prettier than the early stages of the drawing were, here's the speedpaint!

If you haven't read Kivara's story yet, you can read Upholding the Covenant here. 
If you want to support the development of a novel starring Kivara, and to get early access to completed stories, art and videos, please consider joining my inner circle on Patreon.

And if you just want to thank me for my work, you can leave a one-time tip on Ko-fi.

Sea of Violet Snowflakes Speedpaint

9/5/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
I decided to do something a bit different with this one; while my previous videos were pretty much all done in real time, the snowflake-drawing part of this video is double speed, and the background-drawing part is even faster.

​Otherwise it would've been over 20 minutes long; I lost track of time while drawing snowflakes, haha.


I'd love to get some feedback: do you like it when the video is sped up like this, or would you prefer that I go back to the original speed? You can send the feedback via my contact page, or as a comment on this blog post.

After the video was made, I decided to make the background a bit darker, so the snowflakes would stand out more. So if the finished product looks different from the one in the video, that's why.

It’s about time I made another symmetrical pattern-drawing video. This time I wanted to try a more floral twist on my usual snowflake patterns.

If you want to see how Burst of Burgundy Blossoms was drawn, or if you just want to watch something pretty and relax, then sit back and enjoy 11 minutes of soothing symmetrical artwork set to slow, dramatic music.

I thought silver snowflakes on a dark green background would look elegant, so I decided to try it.

Snowflake-Drawing Montage: "Gilded Space Snowflake"

21/4/2020

0 Comments

 
I wanted to do a space-themed snowflake-drawing montage, and I ended up basing the color scheme on the Undertale AU "Outertale".  

Due to having two colors on each snowflake, this ended up being the longest montage I've ever done.

I'm torn between the gilded and ungilded versions of the snowflakes - I like them both - so I decided to share all of them.

Snowflake-Drawing Montage: "Drifting Snowflake, Gentle Rain"

7/4/2020

0 Comments

 
I found some soft, sad, beautiful songs, and I wanted to make a snowflake-drawing montage that would fit with them. So I created a rainy, misty background, and used vivid but gentle shades of blue for this snowflake series.

I also added rain and thunder sounds to the video, to help complete the mood.

My last snowflake-drawing video got such a positive reception on YouTube that I was motivated to make another. :) This time I made the background slightly more intricate, and included the process of drawing the gold decorations in the video.

It's been some time since I did a snowflake-drawing montage, and I was getting the urge to do it again.

With COVID-19 forcing so many people into quarantine, I also felt a pull as an artist to offer those who are trapped in their homes a bit of escape and entertainment.

So if you want a relaxing way to pass the time, click the video player below to watch beautiful snowflakes taking shape while peaceful, dramatic space music plays.
