*Old yote yells at clouds!*

More news at 11!


So, yeah, in a bit of a slump and anxious but it's birthday time and I've ticked over to 37. Yay? We'll see what this year has in hold for me - hopefully good things - let's find out!

I'm going to be a bit hectic and unpredictable with responding to messages for a little bit. I'm dealing with the impending loss of my last grandparent and trying to be as much of a help as I can be, any digital work is on hold until I am back to sleeping at my apartment

I will try to keep going with traditional work and try to be as "me" as I can be, but I mean no ill if I don't seem enthused to interact - I am distracted is all.

Whenever this is all over - I will resume digital work.

I will try to continue the daily doodles as long as I can


Sorry, guys. Regularly scheduled Tsavo will be back soon

Hello! I'm doing a big challenge this year, where I'm doing a drawing every day for 2023. For this I'm asking for anyone who has a character they'd like to be seen drawn and used in my daily doodle challenge.

There is no cost for this, this strictly volunteer and please let me know if you prefer SFW or would like NSFW of your characters for these daily doodles.

The best way to get my attention here is to join my discord server: >>> https://discord.gg/53s8e9ArhR <<< and post your ref sheet and preferences in the daily doodle character channel.

OR send me a note on FA.

There is no obligation to follow me or watch me, this is a personal challenge for me and the variety of characters is to keep things differnt and hold my interest as I go.

NOTE: There is no promise of what order your characters will be in and while I am open to requests for themes, I may not take the request for that day.

Discord linky: >> https://discord.gg/53s8e9ArhR <<

Hello!

I'm gonna be heading down to Megaplex this year and I've already done a few badges, the feedback and want of them has surprised me so I'm officially opening some com badge slots!

They will be $75 each, include a full color, inked, and highlighted waist up of your character, a full color nameplate, and a theme if you so wish to be added. They don't have to be for Megaplex 2022, but that'd make it really easy to give them to you. If they're for other cons, I can ship them to you (included in the commission price)

Examples:

Please either message me on Discord, Tsavo#0504, or leave a message here or note me if you are interested.

Thank you! :3

Thank you checking out my commissions!

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: There are some ground rules I gotta lay, so read this bit carefully.

COMMISSION PROCESS -

Please send me an FA NOTE, TWITTER DM, or MESSAGE ME ON DISCORD (Tsavo#0000 Discord, @/Na_Tsavo Twitter)

All commissions will require a reference sheet, or a detailed description of the character. If you don’t have a reference sheet or other image to work with, it will take longer to get through the sketch process. My current process is rough sketches - rough lines - lines - flats - shading. Each step along the way I will give opportunities for edits.

I expect a current turnaround time of between 3-5 weeks I will share sketches and stages of my work and edits can be made as I go. Once I am finished, there will be no further edits if the work is approved. However, given the many stopping points (at minimum, sketch approval, line approval, flat color approval, and final approval, there's many opportunities for edits.

All payments will be done via paypal upon completion or in specific cases such as conventions, in person meet ups, and other events where face to face interactions occur, cash payments can also be made. For larger commission costs, payment plans can be made.

You will receive a original resolution PNG of the work, web resolution, and Clip Studio Paint files, and Photoshop files if you so prefer. For Traditional artwork, you will be mailed the completed work when I have completed it and when payment has posted. Shipping is withing the continental united states only - However

----

REFUNDS done based on amount of work completed - once work is done I will not issue refunds. In most cases this will not apply as I prefer to take payment upon completion - this will only apply to cases where one pays upfront.

----

CORRECTIONS - If a piece makes it to complete, I will not make corrections. However at each stage I will ask for any corrections and changes.
----

SHIPPING - for traditional artwork there are going to be 2 ways to have it delivered. It can be an in person delivery at conventions or other meetups or it can be shipped. Shipping costs will be added to the commission price and discussed before committing to the commission. *EXEMPT FROM SHIPPING is my Patreon Sketch Tier*

Heyooo! I am opening myself to take requests to do flat color headshots or busts of your characters. Please either respond to this journal or send me a note with your characters description and a reference if you have one.

I would like to get practice drawing characters that aren't mind, and to get experience working with other people so I can optimize the sketch/feedback and correction process as well as to keep practicing.

My only rule right now is I won't do NSFW or known copyrighted characters, they should be your characters, please.

Thanks for your time! I'm just trying to get better :3

Another orbit complete! 35 of them.

Here's to a year of more drawings and improvements and maybe starting a project I've been building for a long while!

That's all for now, nerds. <3

I'm not promising any rapid turn around time-wise, but one best expands their capabilities by trying new things. As such, requests.

Got an idea or doodle you'd want me to try to draw for you? Plunk a comment here and I'll give it a shot. I AM NOT promising timely progress and there will be limited edits because, well, it's a request and I'm still very rusty from a 7 year break in artwork. If you get annoying, badger me for a billion edits, or request fetish/porn, I'll just say no. Please be respectful, I hate being mean.

I'll send progress via discord and when done you'll get the clip studio file (or PSD) to boot.

There's a bit of a queue of personal friendos first, but I'll add you to the list below:

1. Geni-Tame- beach party with Zeman, Sabrina, Danae, and Austin
2. Bun - DnD RP character doodle
3. Lert - RP character doodle
4. Casey - DnD character sketch
5. Denny - vehicle concept sketches
6. RJ-Pilot - If Eric had a motorbike sketch
7.
8.
9.
10.

Once we get here, Imma stop and only add one to it after I complete one, so a rolling list of 10. I'll bounce around working on these, as I do hit walls or get burned out on a single work too long and need a day to reset burnout.

Personal project drawings:

1. Alcoa's load out DONE
2. Eric Cross ref sheet - about 1/3 done
3. Charity Cross ref sheet - DONE to be redone as I'm not happy with it
4. Jet Truck blueprint (to be digitized and worked on for Blender)
5. Shooting Brake blueprint (to be digitized and worked on for Blender)
6. Blender models of both jet truck and shooting brake coupe-wagon (long term, am learnin' blender as I go)
7. Stand Your Ground - DONE
8. Timothy Maxis reference sheet - (paper sketch state)

<End Journal>
Later, nerds

Weee! I've been working my way back into sketching and doodling after several years of no-mood or will to draw. Outside of a few sketches that were uploaded today. Expect more, probably 1 a week until I get better and more efficient at it.

Yay!
