joe randel's art dump

So my birthday happened. February 9th to be specific. I turned a ripe 42. Dang… I’m getting up there. I wonder when I’ll throw in the towel on all this porn drawing nonsense. Well when ever it will be, it sure won’t be any time soon. I still love it. Other than that my birthday was pretty good. Filled with board games, video games, and pie. Birthday pie is far better than cake any day. It was a great day… no complaints.

While I’m here, I think I’ll share the picture from last months Patreon. The supporters voted on Hilda from Zelda: Link Between Worlds. It was a fantastic game so I was more than happy to give here a draw. Enjoy!

If you dig this, then you might be interested in supporting me at my Patreon where you can see my rough drawings, sketches and be involved in what drawings will come next. Or you can find past Patreon Rewards at my Gumroad page. Thanks!

If you know me, you know I like to draw characters that don’t always get the lime light. Why? Well it’s fun to draw something different and you know there is someone out there that is just waiting to see these little seen characters. This is here is a Patreon request for Peatrice from Zelda: Skyward Sword. Very happy to draw her. ^_^

I have here a Midna pic requested by a fellow Patreon supporter. Which is kind of awesome because I’ve wanted to try drawing her for some time now but just haven’t gotten around to it. Maybe next time she can be with wolf Link, because I’m a freak like that.

So a lot of artists out there that are doing the Patreon thing and asking for support and funding for the art they draw. I’m sure that many of you wonder what happens to the money they earn. Well, I’ll be honest with what happens to your support money to me. It goes to my vet bills. I have two 14 year old Beagles and I treasure them dearly. One of them lived with my in-laws until they couldn’t have him any more due to a move. The other we’ve had since he was born in our apartment oh so long ago. We also had their Mom too so they’re litter mates and love being together again. The one that came from my In-laws currently has a tumor on his bladder. It’s a slow growth tumor and he’s on medication for it. Even though he has cancer, you wouldn’t know it because he’s happy all the time. His brother has a abscess tooth and other mouth issues and needs to have some dental surgery to fix them. You’re funding goes directly to helping my geriatric dogs and I can’t say thank you enough. I don’t know for how much longer I will have them, but I want to do all I can to make sure they have a good end of life experience. So thank you again to everyone that has been supporting me over at the Patreon. I am indebted to you all.
