$250 goal reached - Put Patreon stream art suggestions in the comments

Ohno, I actually have to do the thing.
Okay! So this is what we are going to do for this first one as I find my feet with it and the practical realiti...

Sponsor Tier sketches - how they'll allegedly work

Lets do some plotting! This will be a process until I figure it out completely, and I will wait until all of the payments are processed before I look into starting it properly. Patreon is still chewing through the list of transactions. (with a sid...

Slight patron tiers updated!

Howdy everyone! I slightly changed up how things work.

Tiers 1 and 2, wayfinder and pencil pusher, are identical. the second tier is just a handy way to send slightly more money if you wanted to.

Tier 3, Wayfinder, currently is identic...

Manatear reference - Bug settlements

Bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs.

Just don't wander around the beehives properly, that'll bug you as side effect hella fast.

Chaujen is visiting the settlement to make sure that the travel rounds are there since t...

NSFW Patreon Exclusive - Smooching Otts

And here we have a drawing of Petunia and Nicole having a smooch. I'll have to write up more of their backstory later.

I recently decided that they knew each other before ending up spellfluxed, but in that "I Recognize you from college!" way...

Manatear references - Bug TF vector bias

Bugs don't have a monopoly on these tf causes, but they do have a bias towards them. Dylend and Hans get to be the designated victims in today's piece.

September topic poll

Okay! something something art projects.

I intend to create a comic where Nicole gets suited up as a union member of the trashpanda corps. This is going to take a bit of lead time and prep so I am going to start working on it through Septembe...

Manatear References - Bug sizes

Bugs get to be small. Very smol. Still relatively terrifyingly huge.
also decided to just throw up my hands and say bugs can have either leg/arm arrangements because why not. Manatear is a setting of whynot, just throw it in.

This piece ...

Trash Panda Corps - Reference 1

Behold, trashpanda ref one, I will be doing a bunch of individual refs that mention nonsense like layering, how their masks and name tags work, behavioral filters on another. Tehre's too much to go over for one image.

Manatear reference - Harvester cycle

A bit image dry on this one, but sometimes world building is dry.

Manatear reference - Bugs!

I figure the bee in this reference is at most Daisy's size at minimum. I haven't completely settled on their size scale.

Currently considering making them very small where this bug would be 1 foot tall, so bug cities can be like the rodent c...

Slatepaw references - Part 1

Not an exclusive, but cross posting it to patreon for redundancy. Slatepaws are in wider setting outside of the Manatear. They can readily be a shape within the Manatear. They get to be one of the weird examples of a mostly representative shape th...

Monthly topic - August

Alright! Theme is "Harvester Hive" which means we are doing bugs bugs bugs bugs.

I'll also expand on how harvester type monsters work because they are not exclusive to bugs but is helpful for explaining how types of monsters work.

Of t...

August art topic poll.

Oop! Realized how imminent the change over was. So lets get next month vaguely setup.

So out of the entries I did this month, lets expand and explore.

Dook Dynamics - Expanding and setting down a lot of the weird Dook populace traits a...

Manatear - Harvesters

Harvesters are a category like swarms. Not locked to any one thematic category. But these guys are the ones that will mug you and steal your backpockets for all your spare essence and leave you in the alleyway. Or steal you away and throw you in t...

Manatear - Cerberus

I came up with these guys a long while early on in the manatear's original set of ideas. I do need to draw a not pooltoy version though.

Nicole - Snake Envelop

Not every synthetic material critter is a drone. Some are just rando snakes that will try to subsume you. She'll get better later.

Not strictly a part of the monthly theme but definitely gets to be a part of the week early access....

Manatear - The Muse

Muses are at least within the same power scale of spellfluxed, but are far more temperamental and are quite prone to forming petty grudges.

But if you got the right tone of voice to get through the encounter you're probably fine. Just...Give...

Manatear Reference - The Fae

Other disruptive behaviors of the fae include...

"Establishment roleplay" where they run businesses and expect visitors to play along.
"Pet Projects" where they are effectively playing minecraft and may or may not involve spellfluxed as f...

Manatear - Encounters : Dook Swarms

Dook swarms are one of the first rando "Monsters" that I came up with after manatear became a proper setting.

Shale Reference - 2022

Shale! He's a noodle! He isn't actually spellfluxed but in the soft canon of "I want to draw this for fun" he'll get to interact with everyone. He is from the wider setting though. He lives in the Silver Coast coalition area if you recall the regi...

Theme for July - Monsterous encounters

Alrighte! Theme is set.

The subject will be drawings of encounters that wouldn't be out of place on a rng table in the wilds of the manatear.

NSFW Exclusive - Nulge presenting

I am sensing a pose trend, I will see if I can break out of it after this though.

Sydney is indeed canonically with a Nulge in the manatear, they are however able to, with their non-binary powers, manifest any sexual assets with some effort....

Manatear - Feral lands Trade routes

Feral lands still sees a fair amount of practical travel.

July Art topic poll

Hello everyone, lets get this poll up to ensure we have the next thing lined up. 

This last month has been half and half character refs (who desperately needed updates) and setting expanding things. I'll probably still be taking bites o...

Manatear reference - Feral Lands prep

The idea of big scary December using the undersized mask to shrink to below half their normal size is just aplus to me.

Chaujen reference 2022

Here's Chaujen who is a run away of middling importance from mildly important bureaucratic family in the Wah Dynasties. He is a professional wayfinder for SRRO and checks paths after regional flux events.

He gets to be the designated victim ...

Manatear Reference - Feralization

Chaujen must have been hit by something goofy that surprised him. He must have struggled to drag the one non-readily replacable piece of a equipment home without leverage or hands.

Daisy is just living for it though, being 2ft tall means tha...

Nicole Reference 2022

Also including older Nicole refs. Nicole has been an Ex-human spellfluxed for 99% of her existence, there may have been a brief period where she manifested without that context. 

The other two references are dated to 2019 and 2018 respe...

Hans reference - 2022

I figure I should post all references I make on here as well. Here's his older one as a comparison point from 2019. The gradual art shift over time is pretty fascinating to me. I also just wanted to align his design with the pngtuber I made and us...
