Sometimes a request will come in for a character I don’t know. That’s always a fun challenge. The requester will know who this is obviously, but now I have to do some research to make sure I pick a right pose. I love doing stuff like that. Because to me, it’s more then just slapping down a sexy pose. I want to make sure they’re not doing something that’s too out of character. Unless that’s what’s asked of course. This here is Rakka and she’s from a series called Haibane Renmei. I hope you all enjoy. ^_^

The next in the fawn series is up and live now! The supporters over at the Patreon had a nice hand in this one. Suggesting that I replace Tink with Nyx. For those not in the know, she’s the character that is opposite of Fawn in the latest Tinkerbell movie. The both clash and butt heads, but here it looks like they’ve put aside their differences. Thanks for the great idea everyone!

The owner of this requested drawing was cool enough to give the thumbs up posting it around. So I thought… why not. I’ve never drawn Merida before so I it was a good challenge (holy crap, hair). The supporter really liked it and to be honest… yeah… I do too. Just some of the crazy things that happen over at the Patreon. ^_^

Sometimes when you’re in the middle of a current drawing you get ideas for ones down the road. It can be exciting when they all come in a rush but you have to stay focused and finish the piece you’re currently on. I did these up this morning before work and thought others might want to see them too. Back to request drawings and more Fawn and Tink over at the Patreon. ^_^

March’s Patreon supported pic is done and up! We’re running a theme as the supporters would like to see a series of pictures of the newly designed Fawn from The Legend of the Neverbeast. I honestly don’t mind at all. If you’re interested in seeing the progress and giving feedback then maybe my Patreon is for you.

Since last month I was able to pick up a copy of Tinkerbell – The Legend of the Neverbeast and I can say I think it’s the best of the series. I’m not shy to say that I cried at the end as did my whole family. It’s very well done and features Fawn pretty much for the whole movie with Tink and the others only being in the film when needed. Which I thought was great. They took a risk and expanded one of the lesser used fairies and really made her shine and filled out her character. Now, from what I know, this is the last Tinkerbell movie that Disney is going to produce. I hope this is only a rumor as I really feel they’ve hit their stride with this one. Only time will tell I suppose.
