Hello everyone! My name is Audre Schutte (aka 'Charamath'). I am an illustrator and creature concept artist. So what am I doing here on Patreon? Trying to fund my plans for global domination, of course! With your help I will create an army of trained squirrels whose only goal is to adorable everyone into peaceful submission! Just kidding (maybe).

In all seriousness I am here because Patreon creates the opportunity to directly connect me with fans and supporters. Through Patreon I can not only show and explain more of my process, but directly include you in much of it. It is to Patreon that I come to post WIPs or soon-to-come products for feedback and review.

In return for your support and participation I work hard to create a Patreon feed of not just art for you to look at, but things that you can learn from or make your own. I don't offer most of these things anywhere else- things like step by steps of my paintings, high-res monthly digital sketch books where you vote on the theme, sneak peeks of projects, monster-making anatomy lessons (I call them 'Beastie Breakdowns'), monthly coloring pages and hopefully much, much more as this grows.

What are some of the 'future' things I'd like to add? I have so many stories I'd like to explore. Things slowly growing in the back of my mind, just waiting for the financial stability to be able to be brought to life. Comics and books I want to share and include you all in the process of making. I'd also like to get back into sculpting creatures. I primarily use watercolors and inks now, but I started out originally as a sculptor ('Bob' below is a sculpey sculpture of mine). I only set it aside because I couldn't afford to keep it up. If I can get back into sculpting, I can begin to offer digital models, sculpting process videos/tutorials or even 3D printed or cast sculpts.

But most of all I am especially looking forward to hearing from you guys! Feel free to ask me questions! I'm here in all my highly caffeinated glory to talk to you! While I have a wide range of things I'd like to share with you I am always open to suggestions for things you'd like to see offered.
