Working on the latest commission - another card, to no-one's surprise at all! Here's the rough sketch through to basic line art.

Shared with permission by the client - here's a WIP of two of the tarot commissions I'm working on in it's sketch phase! Working on these ones at the same time, due to their duel nature #commission #tarot #illustration

Tried to recreate an old commissioned piece ingame, don't think I did too bad

This is a unfinished sketch of my MMC for the novel i'm writing - his designed changed a little since - got rid of the curly hair, and i've been working on a bigger promo piece that i'm gonna upload soon :D

He is an issue for everyone in the book, especially for the person who kidnaps him 😂

working on a piece for the first draft that's that's currenly in it's first stages of editing! 🌊

It's PoTc meets Black sails, with eldritch kraken gods, mysterious relics, blood magic and a slow burn romance between two bi disasters - that will likely be more than one book 🤣

Katherine (@sio64) on Threads Got a new sketchbook so breaking it in with some concept work inspired by the novel I’m editing 🦑 Art Threads

Sometime in the jurrasic era this tiny ammonite was one of many who came to rest, covered and forgotten on the seabed. 200 million years later it is highly adored, named Bob and lives around my neck. I’d like to make this somehow weirdly inspirational but I haven’t had enough coffee this morning.

Katherine (@sio64) on Threads WIP - Working on a personal piece, playing around with colour palatte, then used it to make a sketch layer! Looking forward to finishing this one :) ArtistsOnThreads

I — with all the humbleness of a shy Adélie penguin looking for art and writing moots — present another rock I got from the beach, for your friendship consideration.

It is shiny, and may or may not have a fossil in the back. 🐧

It's about 110k words un-edited, hoping to cut that down a bit - though it -is- intended to be part of a series so... 😜

I want to show you my baby. It’s in the middle of a good edit, and took nearly a whole day to print out. It keeps me up at night, runs out of control, fights me at every turn and drives me up the wall, but this is my baby ❤️ #writer

Chapter 3/30 of my queer pirate fantasy meets Cthulu inspired manuscript is edited! Time for a biiiiiiig cup of tea.

Thank you! It even got approval on the hellsite that is X from a Blizzard community team member - totally worth it! 😀

I love the colours, it's beautiful!

This is probably one of the best commissions i did last year, i'm still super proud of it :) #warcraftart #orc #orcshaman #commissionsopen

It's 110k words of editing to be just staring at me :'(

My first draft judging me over the tab of the new story i'm writing on the side. #writing #authorlife

Taking a slightly off the wall approach to a costume for pirate event in May, cosplay making is funnnn, teaching myself as I go 😂

Gorgeous views on this mornings walks :D

tapas.io/episode/3448... Reposting Crankrat on Tapas again after many years! Might be good for a catch up! Will also be posting on global comix soon :)

I do have one but I honestly have no idea how to manage it 🤣 it needs a massive overhaul

I really need to improve my self promo with my comics and branch out from webtoons - what platform outside of webtoons do people use? I started on tapas some time ago, and need to get back into that. 😅

Not sure if it affects phones yet but on desktop the ratio for images isn’t 1:1 anymore!

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
