I just wanted to let everyone know that I won't be updating this account from this point on. I've continued to for the last couple of years because a lot of my watchers are interested in content I don't upload to my other account, and I wanted to make sure everyone else knew where I was and what I was doing, but I have no plans to upload anything else here, and I'm not really checking in all that often. I'm leaving it open because there's a lot of content I want people to be able to access, not everyone who stops by may be aware that I'm running a different account, and I don't want to make any permanent decisions; occasionally I'll check in to answer any questions that I may get, and redirect them to my current account, but I'm more or less working only on FeralDoodle from this point on

Thanks for reading, for all the support over the years, and if you want to keep up with what I'm currently doing, check out my other account.

Farewell for now

If you would be willing to donate to me, please consider checking out my Patreon page. The more support I get, the easier it will be to submit content on a regular basis, and with each goal I reach, the more bonus content I'll be able to offer to my supporters. 

If you're unfamiliar with Patreon, the gist is that if you choose to donate to me, you become my Patron, and receive exclusive access that isn't available to other people. Right now, you can receive access to my initial sketches, and the drawing process of each piece I upload, from sketch to final product; but as I receive more pledges, I will provide new content e.g. clean line art for you to colour, and the option to vote in polls for the content of my YouTube videos. 

You can choose to donate as much or as little as you want, and you can change your pledge or cancel at any time. 

At the lowest tier level, $1, you will get access to my Patron feed, where I will offer exclusive updates on my plans, and I will prioritise your suggestions and queries above everyone else's. As well as receive your support, I want to be able to foster my own community.

So if you're interested, click the link. I appreciate any and all support I get

Commissions are still open if you want me to create artwork for you:

Pricing

The information and prices in the price guide mostly applies to character designs

If you would like a full character sheet, a price will be negotiated
Character Designs
I will draw practically anything given the right references
I specialize in creating fictional creatures, and am comfortable drawing humans, most animals (some invertebrates make me want to vomit, but feel free to ask), plants, fungi etc.
I am open to drawing things out of my comfort zone, but this may take extra time or ad

I've started doing commissions. I'm advertising digital character art right now, but if you want me to do something different, let me know and I can figure something out. You can find information below

It's been 10 years since I first joined DeviantArt!

Big News

In order to try to make a living from my art work, I am opening commissions. I will be providing more detailed information tomorrow, but if you are interested, please check out my page over at FeralDoodle



This is just the price list for one off commissions, but if there is a bigger project that you'd be interested in hiring me for, I would be happy to find out more.

YouTube
www.youtube.com/playlist?list=…

I am now posting videos on YouTube on a weekly basis, and have just posted the last of five videos of a style challenge I did in April. 

If you could subscribe to my channel, it would be greatly appreciated. The further I go with this, the more content I will be able to create on a regular basis. 

Patreon

On that note, I also intend to start uploading artwork more regularly, so if you're not interested in commissioning me, please consider donating to me on Patreon:

www.patreon.com/FeralDoodle

You can either pledge an amount each month in exchange for several perks, such as progress sketches and step by step images of my drawing process, or you could just donate money without any reward

To Close

This means a lot to me, so any support you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to read this

So much to say, only so much I can remember...

Firstly, I am still alive. I'm active on my other account FeralDoodle, and am about to start uploading on a more regular basis. I have various projects I'm working on, but I'm in the midst of preparing my next major project, which I will hopefully start on in the next week or two. 

YOUTUBE: ALDO INK

The most important information I have to share is that I have a YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/channel/UCL62j…
I plan to start updating on a weekly basis, but with everything else on at the minute, I'm probably going to update every fortnight.  I'm really hoping it will kick off, but I know it may be a while before it gets a lot of attention, so it would mean a lot to me if anyone interested would subscribe. If you like my videos, feel free to comment with suggestions on what you would like me to create next. 

My last video was a contest entry, and I created everything including the music for the video:



It's awesome - you get to see my hand, and my hair, and try not to focus on how skeletally thin my wrists are. Even when I was eating well, and working out, they looked that thin. 

COMMISSIONS and PATREON

I'm considering opening commissions to make some extra income, but I need to do a little research first, and get some feedback on what people would want. If you have any suggestions on what kind of things I should create, have a look through my gallery on this page, and on FeralDoodle, and give me an idea on what you think people would be interested in. I'm mostly going to be doing digital art, as I'm saving my traditional media for my own projects and videos, until I can afford to replenish them on a regular basis, but I won't be doing anything small scale (like sprites or minor pixel art) because it's generally not worth it. I will also be setting up my Patreon page again so people can donate if they wish, and will be uploading things such as work-in-progress shots of anything I upload, and gradually more content as donation goals are met. 

WEBCOMIC

I meant to update this at the beginning of July, but I was house-hunting at the time, and although we started renting in August, it took a long time to sort things out and settle in. I have stopped posting placeholders for my webcomic, because although I had made some progress with the comics I hadn't finished, it was too much to catch up with, so I've put in on permanent hiatus until I have the time to focus on it, on top of my other workload. In the process of moving and updating my computer, I also lost the program I use to make it, so until I can find it again, it's not going anywhere. 

INKTOBER

For the entire month of October, I uploaded one ink drawing a day. It wasn't always easy - some days I didn't start until almost midnight, which meant staying up until I was done. I one-shotted all of them, so I made a ton of mistakes, and didn't always do what I originally intended, but I'm still happy with the results. I used a cheap sketchbook to do them in, so many of the pages are falling out; the paper was horrendous to draw on. Here is the full 31 days worth of drawing, including a cover page I did at the end:

                                                             

Life

Life right now is pretty stressful; there's a lot going on, but nothing I really want to share online. It's coming up to Christmas, so my work hours are probably about to increase, but they will plummet again in the new year, so I need to find a new job to support myself until I can survive completely freelance as an artist. I hope it doesn't come to it, but it's probably going to be necessary. 

So that's it for now. I'll try to update again when I've got more figured out in terms of commissions, but if you're still following this page, I will be using FeralDoodle as my main page, so look for me there instead. Thanks for reading
