Got someone on Tumblr asking for tips on how to plan a pattern layout. Short answer: I don't plan out. Long answer: an image thread on how I tackle patterns (if you already know the basics: malkshake.tumblr.com/post/1427144...)

This goob's been trying to get himself adopted for three days in a row now and idiot me feeds him anyway. Dude, I know you're someone's cat already. Your squeaky mews ain't fooling me.
Have you seen my star croc wearing a tee? Now you have. I’m running a promo of 40% for the next three days with the code STARCROC valid for all croc and non-croc designs ✨ tee.pub/lic/2N04vCNA...
Just gonna put it out there, cause sometimes I get a vibe from ppl like I'm out there rejecting commission forms left and right (I get it tho, the ToS is very dry like that) but I rarely refuse anyone based off of their characters. There's only been two instances where it happened+
Form now closed and I’m a lil more relieved it wasn’t a 3-6 min rush like past batches lmao. I’ll go through each form to verify the info

And a gentle reminder, the YCH opens in a couple hours (6pm CST, 5pm Mexico)
Alright, gonna drop my com schedule and info for those who are interested 🧵
This Saturday I lost a friend, and today is his birthday. He was a dear friend whom I saw every day in our group of friends. He once told me that thanks to me, he began to see sharks in a much deeper way and said that the blue shark was his favorite.
With this pending off my back, I'm probably gonna reopen commissions somewhere between this friday and saturday. That includes the YCH too, just not certain how many I'll take this time around yet (prices will have to be adjusted too bc I HATE drawing cars)
I was dangerously tempted to caption the crocs with something along the lines of "you met me at a very l!sa fr@nk time of my life" but I'm better off not getting copyright claimed for... *checks notes* using rainbow gradients.
Runnin' a lil late thanks to perfectionism but tomorrow for sure 🙃

The area near the capital was struck with 7.2 and 7.5 earthquake. Some Venezuelans were greatly affected including some of the ones here. If you have the means to help donate to their kofi's or other means directly to them. Int organization funds often don't reach as many people here
Mav@xmaveria.bsky.social · 7mo agoFor people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX
Love it when that nagging feeling your drawing feels off gets fixed by moving the eyes exatly one quarter of an inch apart. Gotta love art.
The last round of road rage scrunklies. Thank you everyone for making this absurd thing a hit lol. More will open in the future, stay tuned.
Whoever in the Procreate team thought it was a good idea to default lock the color picker to the active layer only deserves to get their whole wardrobe smeared in cat fur holyshit, what a godawful update
Gonna save the weekend to sink back into my cringy genshin fanart itch as a way of self care
