#console tans

Wii Crusher (likely to be a disc) she has an older design but I wanted to remake her because I didn't like it anymore, I think I cooked

some console art/edits/requests for people I’ve done over the past year that I don’t think I’ve posted yet

bonus some doodles too

So my Patreon ended awhile back!  But I posted every single one of the images that won the submission polls to my two tumblrs, so I don’t see a reason to break that trend.  Here’s the 1st place winning submission for October: “(Wildcard) Look if this is gonna be the last poll, why not let one of the drawings be a surprise? Go wild bro."

I was really flattered to get a chance to do anything *I* wanted!  Seriously, that means a lot to me.  It was actually pretty difficult to decide what to do for a proper send-off for the Patreon.  I thought about a Bowsette/Booette piece, as that was running pretty hot at the time, or something involving Halloween.  Eventually I felt like making a console-tan picture with the three main console-tans (Xbone, PS4, and now Switch) enjoying an end-of-summer style picture to send everyone off.  I also wanted to experiment a bit with a lighter style of coloring and inking, something more like what @brellom and @impactfuma manage.  It was super interesting and tricky to pull off, as you can’t do “precision” work with a water-color brush, but hopefully it came out okay.  If you like the results or know how I can improve just let me know!

Finally I also took this instance to experiment a bit with Switch-tan.  I try to read all of the feedback you guys send me, and I know that her and PS4-tan have perhaps too-similar hair-styles.  Back when the Switch debuted, it was a black and grey console, just like the PS4.  Nowadays, it has a very striking two-color aesthetic as one of its core elements of design.  Previously I used to represent it in the jacket, but it got me thinking of going for an Asuka from WWE look with two-color hair.  So far feedback to it has been pretty resistant to the change, so maybe we can just say Switch dyed her hair for this particular piece.
