Hey DA, haven’t posted a journal for a long time so time to touch base. THANK YOU Firstly, a massive thank you to everyone for sticking with me and following my gallery. I apologise for not being more responsive in general but I really struggle with time now, trying to balance all the different aspects of my life. A WEEK AWAY For the first time in in three years I’m actually going away for a weeks holiday. I know I’ve already mentioned that my correspondence on DA is lacking but for this week I won’t be responding to any notes or messages whilst I spend time with my family. However, over the last few weeks I’ve had increasing numbers of enquiries for commissions. I still have a couple of outstanding commissions to finish, but once these are done I shall open up commission slots again. This is something that I shall hopefully do upon returning from vacation. Again, I know I’ve been remiss in replying to people via notes and chats, for which I apologise. SUBSCRIBERS A huge thank you

Been a while since I’ve written and posted a journal on DA. I have been seriously slacking! So it’s about time for an update! SUBSCRIPTION PAGE In December last year I decided to test out the very new deviantArt Subscription system. I’d been toying with the idea of creating a Patreon Page to upload reference, advice and tutorial (and other art) pages, but decided to stick with deviantart and give them a try, especially as it’s a forum that’s allowed me to develop a good following and meet like-minded fans and artists over the years. Plus, I thought willing subscribers would rather keep it all on one platform rather than transfer over to another? THE REASON. This may be a bit of an assumption but I would say that a lot of people have a ‘side hustle’ to ‘compliment’ their job.😄 Art and illustration has always been mine. For a long time I was happy sharing my art freely, especially the figure and physique references from my sketchbook. Over time though I found that all of this was

Well, I've been saying I was going to do this for a long time. I've always wanted to do a patron funded page where I could showcase not only tutorials but also original characters, fan art and all sorts of other stuff. And now I have. So welcome to my very own subs page on deviantArt. As the intro to my page says, I've been aiming to do tutorials, especially centred around drawing female muscle in a comic style for ages, but in book form. Unfortunately, this is a slow process, double-checking my resources, making sure that I've got things right, etc and trying to organise that into a book is a big job. As such, it's not getting out there quick enough. But since we're in the digital era now I thought it was about time I got on board too. I can make what I'm doing available digitally in either PDF or JPG form and that way it gets to folks quicker. Who knows, if this is successful enough, over time I might have enough to put into a book? I was originally going to do this through
