#TMItuesday MY DUMB QUESTION JOURNAL - Weight Gain Drives
8 years ago
FIGURED I MIGHT AS WELL KILL MY REPUTATION ASKING A QUESTION I REALLY WANT TO KNOW-
I love doing the Weight Gain Drive things a ton, for me it's fun to have sort of a big project like
that where the audience can influence the direction and take part if they want to. And then everyone
gets to enjoy the end result and what-not, I REALLY LIKE INTERACTIVE THINGS QUITE A BIT.
On the art business side of things, they're fun to fill in between working on personal commissions,
since while they're running up and in progress it gives time to go back and work on other stuff.
Basically for artists (or at least in my area of it) it's a win-win in terms of time put in, and making
new stuff, and giving people big ol fat things to look at.
On the other side of things, I really don't like to do them too often (usually a few times a year)
cause I have this feeling that maybe they're annoying to people, or people get tired of them, or
it would just get plain boring after a while.
SO I ASK YOU, THE ANIMALS. In regards to me doing them:
Would you like to see more?
LESS?
Different types of things (like growth, inflation, expansion, stuffing, HYPER?)
Is there any sort of drive thing you would have liked to have seen done but no one seems
to do it?
Does any part of the system seem like it blows ass?
Essentially I'd like to do them a bit more often, and a bit more involved with the interaction,
but I WANNA KNOW... if people like things like that???
THANK YOU FOR READING MY DUMB JOURNAL I APPRECIATE IT
A drive where each $1 the character has on one more diaper until it's just an giant mecha diaper beast
Tbh, I'd like to see another thing like uh https://www.furaffinity.net/view/13252749/ this lil series here. Was 10/10 stuff for sure. Fat gaming girls? wew.
Umm, I know some people really like the thing where you can determine where the weight goes by donating to various parts and nwhatnot.
You might say the idea is growing on me.
I wouldn't mind seeing other stuff though... I love inflation, growth, expansion, transformation that involves growth/expansion/inflation, and whatnot! Just growing! Especially when it's awesomely voluptuous growth.
But also, you should just do what feels fun for you to do! Sometimes when you ask folks what you should do and what you feel like doing could contradicte that. DO ALL THE ANYTHINGS YOU WANNA DO!
Like some do 1$ = 1lb and its super weird to see such minimal growth for donations!!
I liked your drink one with the unicorn though!!
<.<'
Hyper stuff is really cool I'd like to see more of that.
If they grow overall, it get a sort of macro element and I can't say I'm a big fan of macro. (pun not intended.)
In fact I'd prefer going the other way so a character can get just as stuffed for less food/water/air/ slime if that's your thing. (Texture would gross me out.)
When it comes to drives I really like the more humble ones, where artists really only expect people to donate like a $1 or $5 at most, with the effects not being too teeny tiny. I don't like it when an artist's drive is clearly aimed at them trying to generate a ton of money. I mean don't get me wrong, I don't mind them making money, but when an artist gets too greedy with their drive it can come off as kind of obnoxious.
One thing I would warn against is doing a choose-your-own-effect drives because they usually just end up a mess of lots of things going on at once. Unless you do like, a different image for each choice - that could work.
(Also if you'd like to turn the Jennifer part of my commission into a school's-out doughnut drive I would be totally game for that)
Pretty much how
We miss your fat draws :c
First of all, maybe instead of physical growth, you could do one of increasing arousal (possibly after consuming some kind of aphrodisiac with effects that start subtle but gradually increase). So, the first one would look normal, the second one would be blushing with thighs held together and looking generally "hot and bothered," the third one would be running to the bathroom desperate for some "alone time," and then the fourth one would be just an explicit masturbation pic. (Or something along those lines, it's just an idea.)
Or, you could do one on the "Texaco" account, where again, there's not much physical growth, but each pic has the character successively gassier than the last. So in this case, the process would probably start normal, but then there would be belly gurgles, then burping, then farting, then extreme burping, then extreme farting. Or, again, something along those lines.
I know that these might be trickier since it's harder to find a 1-to1 ratio like with "one dollar equals one pound" growth drives, but I bet you could find something similar, such as "these effects begin at these milestones," or just a rough estimate of the effects based on the amount of money received.
Do you think this could work? I know I'm pretty late to the journal, but I still think something like this could be popular with your fandom.
I know some time ago you drew some multi fur art, (Ie extra arms 2 heads, ect.) but you haven't drawn as much of those in years. i think you only have like... maybe 3 or 4 pictures of 2 headed characters and one with 4 arms i think. maybe youl should try drawing a little more of multi limb stuff in the future when you get the time.
