Currious as to why you were hesitant to draw submerged sinking drawing fir so long?

While I admit I had a pretty strong quicksand fetish back in the day, I just never gelled with the community all that well, and their interest in full submersion. The actual prospect to me is kinda dark and grim. The fact that that stage never did anything for me, and with how prone I am to depression, that kind of vibe was the last thing I wanted to deal with.

To piggy back on the first question, were you into post submersion? I always loved a before or during sinking pic and then the resulting, said person covered in whatever they were sinking into lol. I never like the full on sinking leading to that dark stuff either.

Not my specific preference, but I can defo see the appeal!

Got ya. Appreciate the response! 😊

And a 2nd question if I may. What was a commission idea you had to turn down becaise of any reason

9 times out of 10 it was mainly because people just didn't read the rules. Most recent was a guy who wanted in on the Dinner date sale, but placed an order a month after it had closed.

Are you going to do another Summertime Themed Sale, sometime soon???

Themed sales are kind of a mixed bag honestly. Partially because you run the risk of getting REALLY burnt out drawing the same kind of thing over and over and over again. If you're asking about the swimsuit sale I did a while back, kinda wasn't planning on doing another one of those. Actually been debating a number of commission theme ideas, from 90's mecha VHS covers, to pseudo screenshots of "The Office" styled scenarios.

Do you need need suggestions on ideas for Themed Sales???

OH, I don't need ideas, if anything I need to know how to scale back within my means!

A "TV show screenshot meme" commission style could lead to some entertaining results. I know I'd probably be the sick fuck who gets my character laying down on the sand like Walter White with a shocked expression lol

Who's a man and a half?

He's this weird guy who keeps ordering 50% more food. And it has to be exact, you can't just double the order!

But is he a berserker packin' man and a half?

No he doesn't pack a berserker, just a .44, a rolled up Reader's Digest, and a dillo that glows in the dark

What would be your size limit to dress skirt poof? Or should the whole world be consumed by soft, silky fabric? Sounds like an interesting gray goo scenario if nanotech was combined with fashion.

Personally if the poof actively prevents her man from holding her close by the waist, then it's too big in my opinion!

In past times when you found your artistic inspiration flagging, what was the most inspiration you came across that you least expected to be inspirational?

Normally I don't like looking up old ancient art I did in the past (like 8+ yrs ago), but sometimes looking back I remember how hyped and motivated I used to be about my ideas. That usually helps get me back at it.

Any chance we'll get to see some of those in the near future?

I mean, the old stuff is in my gallery, just way back there

Ah, I thought you mean non-digital artwork that's not already here. My bad.

Ohhhhhh! ..... f@#$ maybe I should dig out some of my old sketchbooks...

Any latest interests, new or old, gaming wise, that have caught your attention? Be it playing, keeping up with news, or generally in the industry as a whole?

Only real big gaming interest I've had as of late is just getting back into game design. I'd have done it by myself by now, but I can't program to save my life no matter what engine I try

What's your favorite theme to draw? Like gowns, Halloween, Christmas, etc.?

Honestly in general I like it when people let me design either a gown or even a full character from scratch

Would you ever consider going into 3D art if you found the time and/or resources to do it?

I've actually been trying to get back into 3D modeling ever since I did that in gamedev. Problem is I just haven't had the time as of yet. If all goes well, that'll change VERY soon

oh fantastic! :D

also what are your favorite species to draw?

Don't really have a favorite persay, it comes down more to whether the character is a good design or not

If I put a sinlge piece of cake on your forehead and stand there as long as possible without touching the cake or letting it fall, how long do you think you would last?

Depends on the kind of cake, and even then I"m actually not that much of a cake person, so honestly I could walk away just fine.
...
...
...
now if it was a slice of lemon merengue pie however...

Then a piece of lemon merengue pie, how long would you last trying not to touch it or let it fall?

I"d probably jsut say f@#$ it and eat the slice

Now lastly, this is an odd one.

If you had five wishes with set rules would you take the wishes and what would they be?

Rule 1
You cannot wish for more wishes

Rule 2
Your wishes cannot mess with the natural order

Rule 3
Your wishes cannot be instant and you will receive your wishes in do time

Rule 4
You cannot force anyone or any living being to do anything against their will.

Rule 5
Break any of the rules and you will die

1. The ability to read minds. Must be able to activate on command, not just hear minds thinking like you would hear people out on the street.

2. A physique similar to my armadillo-sona. Would definetely help with my self-confidence

3. The ability to make my first three video game IP ideas to be guaranteed successes. Would be enough to get a business foothold. Not forced sales mind you, but the ability to discern the ideal advertising and how to successfully introduce a game.

4. A semi-run down victorian-ish mansion big enough for my future extended family. Room enough for everyone, and plenty of opportunity to fix it up.

5. A wedding ring that grants the wearer magical butterfly wings. Cheezy, but to be fair, it wouldn't be for me exactly...

What if raccoon dillo became two animals? would there be competing food trucks or a make out session?

Nah, Dillos in general don't really "compete" persay. Most likely they'd be curious as to what the other would be making!

It used to say no Macro on your Don’t on your old commission rules, what changed

Was difficult to define it exactly. Was more an issue of body proportions, not so much giant stuff. More like the body types where the muscles/boobs/fat are so big, the character clearly has no range of motion. Though to be fair, I"m not a fan of the giant stuff either. Then again a lot of stuff on FA is blatantly indulgent

My giant characters don’t seem to bother you, or at least I hope not

Do you wish there was more Armadillo characters out there in the wild or nah?

Defo down for more anthro species that expand beyond the generic cat/wolf/fox motif

How did the idea of doing Racoonadillo food truck come about?

Well the whole idea behind it is, while all dillos love human-crafted food, Racoonadillos actively try to emulate human cooking themselves, so them having a food truck was natural! The other reason was it helped me not have to draw uncomfortable scenarios, as well as a chance to practice drawing food stuffs!

Sounds like a win-win definately. And a very unique and fun idea too.

Also how did the idea for the Racoonadillo first come about?

Honestly just started making all sorts of dillo types! Squirreladillos, yetidillos, tankadillos, etc. Racoonadillos naturally joined the club

That sounds facinating. be interesting to see therest :D

Money is no object, nor are any state or federal regulations. You may pick one pistol, rifle, shotgun, and pistol caliber carbine (includes SMGs). What do you pick, and why?

Pistol; Chiappa Rhino 60sar
-I've fired revolvers before, and while the oomph is nice, the kickback always got irritating after a while. Having an underbarrel to balance the recoil just always made sense to me.

Rifle; DSR-1
-Bullpup w. sniper rifle just always felt smart to me, and I like the look of this one

Shotgun; Kel-tec KSG
-Don't quite have the ability to use shotgun propellant for melee enhancement yet but I do like the practicality behind this one.

Pistol Caliber carbine; MP5K
-Originally wanted to get one of these in airsoft form, just felt like a good balance all around

You've done a lot of lovely furry ladies in ballgowns and you do an amazing job doing custom ballgowns.

So I am wondering what is your favorite species to draw wearing ballgowns?

No real preference in species, literally comes down to the design of said character!

Any games you've been playing lately? I'm on a big binding of Isaac binge and have wanted to try CS again with the announcement of CS2. And if I get work soon I wanna play all the great horror remakes releasing this year.

I personally have been big into Shatterline, fantastic options for a Ukranian based gamedev company!

I tried sharterline when it initially launched and didn't feel much, may have to give it another chance. If I wind up getting into it I'd be happy to play with ya (or anyone really) in the future.

It may not do anything ground breaking, but it's far more solid, strays far away from most F2P practices, AND the devs are still working on this in Kiev

Totally fair! I found the PvE to be a bit bullet spongey for my taste, but I never tried the PvP - is it any good? And yeah I gotta respect the devs for their hard work, absolutely insane that they're still going despite current events.

Of all your girls, which one is your favorite and which one is the most difficult to draw?

Well that's not fair, my favorite fluctuates on which mood I"m in. Difficulty however, I"m not sure, I usually try to keep their designs simple for a reason

Curious, why choose the armadillo to represent yourself?

1. I was in arizona at the time
2. Kinda was exhausted seeing primarially Wolf/catfox anthro sonas
3. Being defensive/introverted seemed to fit the Armadillo's visual style to a tee

How did you end up getting into drawing ballgowns so much?

Well I mean a beautiful busty gal in a ballgown is kind of a fetish for me in the same way bikinis, bunny suits, or latex gimp stuff is for others, so me drawing gowns was inevitable!

Same here! Glad to know we're alike in that way. :)

What made you start the dinner set?

It was actually Belise7's idea for the sale! She wanted to do something V-day themed and cute, and we came across some dinner date pics we did for each other, and thought that would be a good basis for a sale! So we refined the locales and made a sale out of it!

Well it was gorgeous and a joy to look through

I have been a huge fan of your work with big poofy ballgowns. They're my #1 fetish even before I found your gallery. What is your favorite part about drawing them? And what are your main inspirations you pull from when designing them?

Probably the corset part is my favorite part to draw because booba, but also just feels nice to do a natural smooth curve instead of the "boob sock" approach Ive seen too many artists do

"Boob sock" approach, what's that?

When a shirt or outfit just outlines the boobs instead of trying to appear "draped" over the boobs

Ah ok. Yeah, that's a lazy trick I've seen used in some anime.

So, I want to get into drawing ballroom gowns. I have made a handful of drawings that I'm pretty proud of, but I want to reach a level of mastery that both you and Belise have.
-What sort of tips and tricks do you use when drawing huge gowns?
-How can I get better at drawing them? ei. Designing, dynamic poses, skirt physics

Best advice I can give is look at references of gowns and see what they do with their construction and shape. If references aren't poofy enough, try looking at some animated examples. (Giselle's from enchanted and Charlotte's from Princess and the Frog are good examples w. mega poof)

Guess I just need to get better at using references. I did use one of the commissions you made as reference for one of my drawings. Came out nice; I still haven't posted yet tho.

Nothing wrong with that! Just knowing a little bit of the in's and outs will help in making your own stuff from scratch!

What has been your favorite of the food truck commissions? Those all look really tasty!

Nothing specifically, though trying to fit foods on a stick that don't normally go on there is always a fun twist!

Who was the first girl you drew when you established your style?

Hard to say since I don't feel like I have an established style as of yet. though probably one of the first girls I ever designed when I took drawing seriously was probably Sonya

Was there ever a gown you say in a movie/series/game that you thought you could improve/do way better than what was shown? Like for me, the gown in the live action Beauty and the Beast was an utter disappointment compared to the animated version.

True, but everyone agreed that was a downgrade. Personally I"d like to think I could do better on Morrigan's gown from Dragon Age Inquisition. Though I feel my "improvements" would solely be more preferential, and maybe retract from the overall aesthetic of the Dragon Age IP

Personally I've found your work ages ago and really love your style, as well as working with you on commissions! I think you’re very creative with a unique skill in turning anything into a wifu or character! Also the way you draw boobas, outfits and facial expressions! Not to mention your prices are some of the most affordable around!

So:

1. Thinking about the future, how much longer do you see yourself doing this content, if you enjoy it.

2.How did you and your awesome Belise meet and find out about your art interests?

3. How do you deal with burnout on drawing and themed content? I know you can take a lot of commissions and sales at times.

4. What would you like to be more confident in drawing e.g. hands, feet, anatomy, certain angles/poses etc?

5. Have you or do you ever get ‘turned on’ by anything that you have drawn or draw?

6. If you weren’t drawing, what other career would you not mind doing?

7. Kinda to part one but A. How big is too big for you booba size wise B. Is there ever such a thing as too much booba?

8. We seen you do animations in the past is it something we likely to see again in future?

1. I don't see commissions going away for a while, but probably take a backseat once I get back into game design full swing.
2. We actually knew each other for years as art acquaintances on Deviantart. I actually had no idea she had an interest in me until she confessed! We've been solid ever since.
3. Variety is the key personally. Which is why we try to have some element of the sales more open to our interpretation, instead of taking exact orders. It helps to ease the exhaustion.
4. I'd just like more confidence in being able to bring my art to a professional level. Refinement has always been a struggle for me, and is why I don't quite feel I have a set style yet.
5. I mean when I hit puberty yeah, but nowadays it's only by anything Belise directly makes for me
6. Either construction, or cooking most likely
7. Boobs are nice and all, but in regards to the whole character, it's like the A1 sauce to a steak dinner; you never want JUST sauce. Same thing with proportions. Usually when the boobs obscure the waist area is when it's too big for me.
8. Defo still animating, albeit finding the time for it is the challenge.

Is Belise still trying to kill you after making that short joke? XD

Any ideas when the next update to the Poof Party will be?

Any reason you specifically only do M/F relationship? Not hating or anything, just curious since i've seen people, including friends, doing same sex art even though they themselves are straight, and also some who were gay who made M/F relationship arts and some who were Ace and did both. (If this sounds rude, i apologies, not my intention.)

Is there any kink/fetish you're somewhat okay with doing, just not your cup of tea? Or some you will only do under specific situations?

Have you ever drawn any type of centaur before?

When it comes to making a character from scratch, does that cost extra or less or the same as everything else on the commission option?

1. She is, though she needs to reach me first!

2. I"m working on getting those sales updated, though the prospect of the collab sales options does take priority. Maybe expect a broader application of the "Totally-notSuper-mario" thing in the future.

3. It's ok to ask, and nothing against people who go for that stuff and what not, it's their prerogative! It's just not something that's ever sat well with me, and influences like that can influence the quality of the art. So I just stick to what I know.

4. I'd have to say "Face-sitting" probably. I know people are all about that, just like you said, not my cup of tea

5. I"m pretty sure I have, just not a commission topic I get a lot of.

6. Heck, making a character from scratch often times is way easier, it's why there was a discount for mystery date options on the collab sales! So no way it costs extra, provided I"m given enough elbow room to work with!

3. If it was something light, would you be able to do it without being uncomfortable? Like hand holding or a kiss on the cheek or just a quick dance or chatter, or the heroine rescuing the princess?

4. Anything else that falls under the "not my cup of tea, but i can work with it"? I remember you mentioned vore at some point.

6. I see. Would normal comms also get a discount or was that for the collab only? Do redesigns fall under the same category is that its own thing thing?

-Not really. Just kinda fine at keeping it "friends" level, but beyond that I'm a bit "eeh" about

-Admittedly it does come down to a case-by-case basis, hence why I don't get mad at people just for asking

-The discount was for the collab sales. Also fine with redesigning characters but it does hinge on how much freedom is given

If a setting/franchise/game/story has fantasy elements, how much fantasy would you consider your comfortable amount if there is any comfortable amount?

Low fantasy as in for example Witcher that is considerably more down to earth, or high fantasy as in for eaxmple world of warcraft, where literally everything from a to z is on the table.

I"m normally not a big fantasy person myself, though probably would lean more towards high fantasy if for the sole reason that low fantasy tends to focus on being more gritty, depressing, and hopeless. I get enough of that negativity in real life, don't need it in my off time either

Yeah, personally not too much into "gritty, dark and hopeless" myself, so I can relate :<
High Fantasy can have a lot of interesting things and fun stuff as well that you wouldn't put into a more grounded setting :> So, good potential

Name doesn't ring a bell, might be a character commissioned by someone else

Vaguely yeah, though characters made from scratch for commissions I usually assume are property of the commissioner, so technically that would be YOUR character then!

Has anyone IRL e.g. friends or family found out about your FA or what you draw here?

There are some people that know, though FA specifically isn't something I actively bring up

What's your favorite game?

Depends on the mood. Currently I play a lot of Shatterline, and Stardew Valley when with Belise

Nice!

Is there any reason/inspiration behind why you're fond of large dresses?

Early disney and nintendo influences, primarially. But probably also more esoterically the visual indication of intended beauty and value. It feels more indicative of inciting love, as opposed to something like a Bikini, which incites lust instead.

Do you know what started your fetish for big poofy ballgowns?

Growing up on classic disney stuff certainly played an influence, though early game motifs (IE a princess to rescue ) also played a part I would imagine

What inspired you to create such impressive lighting? You seem to be able to capture all kinds of mood with just your lighting and shadowing

Not sure, I just remember scenery I've seen and have tried to emulate how that lighting would have worked. Though I do have a bit of a bias for contrast, so maybe that plays a part in it.

The most controversial question you can ask someone in public that can cut a swath in a fandom, ruin friendships, and change public opinion of you...


Tits or Ass.

Defo a boobs person

What’s your all time favorite art that you made(for yourself or commission art), and do you make your art based on comic books (like Marvel or DC) or manga or both? Really love your artwork!

Early on I did take a lot of influences from comic book artists, specifically Joe Madureia, though still trying to find something I can identify as "My Style."
Personally this was the piece I felt most proud of for the longest time; https://www.furaffinity.net/view/14562287/ but if I had the time, I probably could do better

is there a reason you dont draw femboys?

Same reason why I don't draw same sex couples, just feels weird to me. Nothing against people who like that stuff mind you, just not my thing is all

Are you made of Gluten or Corn Starch?

Probably gluten with how much pizza dough I"ve made and eaten

What is the one thing/concept if someone asked you to draw as a commission that you would say yes to instant?

Well on FA, any busty gal in a ballgown in quicksand is an instant yes, but that's the low hanging fruit.
I actually enjoy making mock-up logo design so I"d probably be all for making a pseudo-anime VHS or DVD cover

I really do need to do a ball gown from you one day, I do have a thought or two, but that logo design does sound fun as heck to do

Well, you know where to find me!

Are there any plans to make a series of the dilloverse like through comics or something exploring the dilloverse in depth?

Oh there absolutely is, the only trouble is trying to find the time to do it

Well maybe try when you done absolutely everything you need to do but the things is you need to over come a certain inevitable thought which is "will people like this?"

What are some of your favorite animated shows/movies?

Favorite Anime; Shokugeki no Soma
Favorite 2d movie; Klaus
Favorite 3d movie; Tie between Ratatouille and The Incredibles
Favorite movie most others hate; Kronk's New Groove

Are you okay with people taking things like the dress designs you invent, and doing more with them? The Shantae ballgown you did for me is getting quite a bit of attention and I would hate that being a problem.

Yeah I"m ok with that. Not trying to run each dress design as it's own IP or something

Will your Kaiju gals ever return and will their Floof Doggo comic be finished?

Trying to get back into the habit, just need life to give me a break for a bit

\ '^ ' /

1. is this still open?

2. has anybody ever asked for a character wearing an outfit from real life?

1. yup

2. All the time! More often than not whenever someone asks for a commission of a character with a specific outfit, the reference links are from real life

I've been super busy and probably missed the opportunity here, but just in case... (and my apologies if I've asked any of these before but forgot)

-What's a thing (movie, game, TV show, book...) that you had high expectations for, but ended up being disappointed? And/or, what's something you had low expectations for, but were pleasantly surprised?

-Do you have a "favorite" movie/game/etc that you know is flawed, but still love anyway?

-Is there anything in your/Belise's universe(s) that you really like, but haven't had the opportunity to show yet?

-You've started drawing some extremely large curves in the last few months... what made you change your mind on that subject? And was Belise a major influence? :P

-Admittedly soemthing I had high hopes for was actually getting to play Warhammer 40k. It had been something I envied for the longest time but never got a chance to try until I got a mod for Tabletop Simulator. The gameplay has certainly shown it's age, that's for sure.
-Something I ended up being pleasantly surprised with was actually the Fallout series (Specifically Fallout 3 and New Vegas.) Belise7 was actually the one who introduced me to the series. I ahd stayed away because I was never a fan of the apocalyptic mad-max aesthetic it gave, and I still don't enjoy it, but the context of the world of Fallout ended up being an amusing romp with fantastic emviromental storytelling!

-So one of my favorite games of all time is Okami. It's a bit long, cutscenes can be tedious, and the inkbrush mechanic is defo wonky at times, but ffffffffff if that game hasn't nailed down a gorgeous aesthetic! Just feels like a great world to go through and explore!

-ohhhhhhhhhhhh boi do I have a list of those!

-Honestly it's not something I enjoy to that extreme. I"m just tired of having to go back to a commission after doing rendering, posing, emviromental design, etc. only to have the only feedback be "Make the Boobs Bigger." Seriously any time I get feedback on what to fix, that's what it is 50%. And I guess after 14 years of this I"m just depressed that I"m still just making a living by doing other peoples' ideas rather than my own. So if it gets the commission done faster, fine.

-

-Ah, nice choice :) I agree that Okami's aesthetic is wonderful. My personal issue was that the Wii pointer was unusually jittery and hard to deal with, which is weird because I've never had that experience with any other Wii game. (perhaps I should have played a different console)

-Anything that you can share? Or is it all secret until it can be shown in art?

-Oh, I see... Sorry, I didn't mean to hit a sensitive spot.

-Yeah sometimes the Wii was finnicky like that

-I don't really wanna spoil anything exactly, but let's jsut say the Poofs and Dillos are more than they seem...

If it's any consolation (though it may not be), if "boobs bigger" tends to be the only 'fix'-feedback you get, then I'd say that means you're doing everything else very well :)
Though I do understand the feeling of not being able to work on your own ideas much because you have work for others to do instead.
