joe randel's art dump

I know, I know… it’s past Christmas. I didn’t have time to finish this up until this evening. December vacation, family visits and the holidays put it on the back burner. Better late then never right? I hope everyone had a good holiday season this year. Mine was pretty sweet and I’ll make a post about it when I get some time. Still got some family to visit this weekend. After that I should be getting my time back to start drawing pictures again. How I miss it so! Since the summer time I’ve also been thinking of starting a Patreon. The fight I have going on in my head about it is how to not lock up my art. I never want to do that. I’ve been making my art free to view for so long now I can’t imagine doing that. What I’m thinking though is using it for allowing for a higher level of interaction with the people. That way those that wish, can help decide what gets drawn next. I might use it as a way to keep track of commissions too. There is a lot to think about, but other artists have made it successful and I’d like to as well.

Until then, please enjoy some spa ponies. I’ve been wanting to draw these two for some time now. I hope I did them justice.

One more request pic going up. Someone offered to help me out with some Tumblr issues. The theme was totally broken and I could do nothing to fix it. Unfortunately, a solution could not be found but I offered a request pic for them giving me their time. Thanks again! I hope I did Lily Bovine here proper justice. I never watched Wild West C.O.W. Boys of Moo Mesa so I don’t know the characters. I do know of it, but I guess it wasn’t in my rotation of shows during the 90’s. She is a cutie though and I do like some lactation because I’m a freak like that. ^_^

The other day I posted up my latest Tinkerbell pic on my Tumblr (It’s horribly ugly now by the way. Trying to get it fixed up… but Tumblr kinda sucks). And there was a lot of talk about seeing some Vidia, so I doodled her up. First time I’ve drawn her so I hope I did well. I like it and I think she would lots of fun to draw her and Tink together. ^_^

Okay, so this is the second Pokemon code request pic and I gotta say, I love it when you people ask for more Tinkerbell (and friends). I really makes me feel like I’m doing something right with her. I’m so glad that others enjoy her and want to see more. You people rock! Only one more request pic to go.

In other news, I’ve been busy trying to sell the other side of my art. The stuff that isn’t naughty. I’ve put up shops at Red Bubble and Society 6 and even started up a fan art page to sell myself a bit better and try to make some extra money too. It’s going okay. Slow, but okay. I have also put more thought in to a Patreon. Other artists and fans have told me that I don’t have to have a monthly set up, I can have it by update which would be pretty good since I don’t create art as much as others. Still gonna think about it. If it happens it won’t be until after New Years.

All this selling myself and my art is difficult for me to do. I’ve always had a low self-confidence with regards to what I do. I’ve gotten better, but I generally feel like I would just be bothering people with a Patreon or even doubt people would support me. I read an article the other day about how to be a “selfish artist”. That is, how to sell and talk about yourself to make you sound interesting without sounding like a jerk. Setting up the online shops for the SFW stuff is a big step for me. I hope it all turns out well.

Oops, sorry for hijacking this post for personal stuff. Any way… look! More naughty  Tinkerbell! Yeah baby… ^_^

Tastes so sweet. ^_^

I got this last min idea for Halloween. Of course with it being so close to the actual date I doubt I’ll get it done in time, but I can at least share some rough lines of it. I even made a cock version for the futa pony fans. Enjoy!
