August 2018 Rewards, Tier 1 (Patreon)

July, it was tough without my wife.  (Still in Sweden settling our kids.)  Boring, routine, and to be honest a bit lonely - now I'm not the person to usually complain about lack of social contact lol, rather I'd complain when it's too much. And I do see people at work, but that's not the same really.  I don't have close friends, since my mid 20's.  When I graduated from art school, that was it. Soon after I started moving around the world.  After that, my wife (who is super-social), her friends, and later my kids, would be enough social contact for me. Sometimes too much.  :)  

But, yeah she's coming back August 29 and I've taken some vacation days then, so that'll be great.  I'm counting the days.  :D

Anyway, here's the image, which again isn't a "pinup" this month either, sorry again, but as I mentioned last month I'm taking a break from that, due to some trouble with Patreon hardening their stance, and other comments.  I'll drift back into it in the future, if you're wondering what my upcoming rewards will be like, see my other post for the overall roadmap for the next 9 months.  (Yes, I've been more productive than usual these last couple months, wonder why.)   :)   

Another reason there's just a simple portrait this month is that the image I was planning originally got out of hand with scope and complexity, as sometimes happens, so you'll see that one next month.  

This one is a "cutified" or "chibified" portrait of Joanna Frank, in the similar way that Ilya Kuvshinov and others work.  

Here's the high-res jpeg for Joanna, and the next 2 pages Photoshop files of my comic Android Blues, pages 77 and 78.   

I hope you enjoy, thanks for your support!  :)
