The weekly drawing polls start today! Where you can vote for your favorite ideas, and the most liked idea will be drawn later this week!

The options for the drawing poll this week are:
1. Eleanora's inflated form {My OCs}
2. Monica fattened by Mexican food {My OCs}
3. Pan-Ding fattened by Chinese food {My OCs}
4. Inflated Shirley {My OCs}
5. Amelia fattened by bacon {My OCs}
6. Bottom-heavy Lucoa {Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid}
7. Miia egg pregnancy {Monster Musume}
8. Immobile Rapidash {Pokemon}
9. Fistleo balloon {Megaman ZX}
10. Musclefatty Blaziken {Pokemon}

Voting is now over. The winning idea, by a landslide, is bottom-heavy Lucoa!

First off, Merry Christmas and I hope you have a good one!

And now, I'd like to announce some of my plans for 2019, and here they are!

[ Ambi's new appearance ]
While Ambi won't go through any very major changes, she will have an updated design for 2019. Look forward to the pic sometime in the new year.

[ Weekly drawing polls ]
And now for something that'll show some interactivity. I'm gonna be doing weekly drawing polls all throughout 2019, where there will be 10 choices to choose from per week, and I will draw the winning choice of the week when the poll ends!

However, some things about weekly drawing polls for when they're ongoing:
- Voting for polls begin every Sunday. The voting for them will end every Wednesday around noontime to evening time EST, and the winning pics will be posted on Saturdays.
- Poll choices will mainly be of my own choosing. Suggestions are okay, but I cannot promise anything.
- There will be some theme weeks, where all the choices correspond to a certain theme.
- With the exception of theme weeks, I will try to vary up the choices each week so that they stay interesting and won't always turn out the same.
- There may be some weeks where there won't be a weekly drawing poll.

Weekly drawing polls will start on January 6.

[ Pig TF series return, and next FE series teaser ]
Starting tomorrow, pig TF series pics will continue to be posted! If you're wondering why I haven't been posting any pig TF series stuff lately, you can mainly blame it on my investment in Pokemon Let's Go Eevee and Smash Ultimate. But they're now returning, so stay tuned!

After the pig TF series is done, I will start planning for another FE pic series taking place in the Radiant Dawn setting, and will be slightly longer than the pig TF series. Don't miss out!

[ 10th DA anniversary celebration ]
While this is mainly happening on DA, I'm celebrating this on FA too. 2019 marks the 10th anniversary of my DA account. As such, in October 2019, there will be a bunch of fun stuff going on that month. So far, I've been imagining an OC-tober sort of drawing thing with my OCs, as well as a possible contest. If you have any other suggestions for the celebration, feel free to suggest it!

[ New Year's special heroes pic(s) ]
Yes, they are of course happening. The New Year's special heroes are being added on January 1, so look forward to their pic(s) when the new year begins. Let's just say at least possibly expect Fjorm in there.

What else will come in 2019? Time will only tell!

With the pig TF series going on hiatus, I have noticed that my more recent submissions have not been getting much feedback here lately, with only around 2-4 faves per submission most of the time and very rarely any comments, and only two to three people have been actively caring about the more recent pig TF series pics here {with the exception of the Maribelle/Lissa and Maria pics for some reason, no idea why though}. I understand that I get more feedback on DA than FA since I have more watchers and fans over at DA, but I've been recently experiencing quite a drought of activity in my FA inbox as of late.

However, since I have been planning to do weekly drawing polls for 2019 {more details on that sometime next month}, I'm now gonna ask people some questions what you would like to see from me in the future.

---

Are there any characters that you would like to see me draw more often?

They can be my OCs, but I don't mind branching out. Would you like to see more art of the OCs from my main OC-verse, or more art of my OCs from my other OC-verses? If you're not into my OCs, fret not, as I also draw characters from anime, video games, and more.

Are there any specialties you want to see more of from me?

I draw a variety of specialties in my art. Fatness, inflation, transformation, pregnancy, muscle growth, you name it. If there's any specialty that you want to see me draw more often, please name it. You can also answer this question by saying "normal art" too, if you're only watching me for non-specialty art.

How should I improve my artwork?

I don't mind improving at all. If there's anything that you would like to see me improve more on, just let me know.

Do you prefer seeing lineart or colored pics from me?

Most of the pics I've been posting here lately have been lineart sketches. If you prefer seeing lineart pics over colored pics or vice-versa, please let me know.

---

Please note that any negative/hate comments will be ignored and get hidden, so please stay as positive as possible with your comments.

So, what do you think?

1. All entries must have at least one of the characters listed above.
2. No old art. All contest entries must be new.
3. No entries created from base art, character creation games, or the like.
4. While you can have other FE characters participate in the entries, OCs and crossovers are not allowed.
5. If you can't draw, don't worry. Stories are allowed too.
6. In the case that you can't draw humans well, don't worry, as furry versions of the characters are allowed.
7. No scat/watersports/vomit, gore, vore, foot fetish, or trash/garbage eating. Sorry, those just simply aren't my thing.
8. The deadline for entries is September 19. Please keep in mind that I may extend the deadline.

- First place: 3 free requests
- Second place: 2 free requests

Sorry about being offline for a week, but now, it's time for some more announcements!

1. Art trades and collabs are now reopened! If you'd like to do an art trade with me, just send me a note, but please keep in mind that I will be picky about who I will do art trades/collabs with.

2. Following the failure of my character designing contest, I have now come up with a new idea for a contest that I will be starting soon. Look forward to it!

And that's all! Until next time~

It's early August, and I have some announcements to make, especially since it's been a while since I made a journal. It's juice and jam time!

1. Trades and collabs will be closed for a while. I will continue working on whatever I owe, so don't worry.

2. To any of my fans who love Marvel, stay tuned, for there will be lots more Marvel pics on the way from me, with Avengers Alliance pics and more. Look forward to it!

3. Some of you may know that on August 10, there will be new FE Heroes seasonal units on the way. While I usually do them as soon as the banner starts, this might not be the case for this banner. The obligatory pic involving the characters involved in said seasonal banner will still be done, but it will be a bit delayed this time, unlike the others, so don't worry about it.

And that's all I've got to announce for now. Until next time!

... There weren't any entries.

There was only one person who'd mention that they would enter, and they never got around to doing their entry. Even after extending the deadline by one week, there was still only one person wanting to enter. I mean, almost nobody was even interested in it. I could have at least canceled the contest early, but since there was somebody interested in entering, I didn't want to ruin it for them if they were working on their entry already.

When I say this, this does not mean I am discouraging myself to do more contests. I will continue to do contests. However, I do not know exactly when I'll do another contest, but I'll tell you all once I come up with another idea for a contest.

Looks like I'll have to design these OCs all by myself...

Yes, the character designing contest is still going to be a thing here. However, so far, only one person has expressed interest in entering the contest and no entries have been completed yet, with everything else just being tumbleweeds and crickets. Because of this, the contest deadline will now be May 29! This will give you more time to work on your entries if you still plan on entering the contest.

The upcoming characters of mine in question you will be designing in this contest:
- 26-year-old female French ferret. Blue eyes. Short brown hair. Slim body type. Runs a spa.
- 31-year-old male American barn swallow. Brown eyes. No head hair. Slim body type. Runs an apple cider mill.
- 19-year-old female American squirrel. Brown and white fur; fur is white on the throat/chin and belly area but brown everywhere else. Long dark brown hair. Yellow eyes. Slim body type. Works as a pop star.

Contest rules:
1. Be sure to follow the design instructions very carefully for each character. The more accurate the design is to the description of the character, the more likely of a chance that it could be the final design for the character when they are posted.
2. You must design at least one of the three characters described above. In addition to the one you decide to design, you can choose another one of the two, or both of the other two.
3. If you come up with more than one design for one of the characters in mind, try narrowing it down to the one that you think you like the most.
4. General/SFW art is very much preferred for this contest.
5. The deadline for entries is May 29.

There will be only one winning design for each character, and the winners for each character will have their OC design used for the actual OC in their final product when they are drawn and posted {although their design may be refined a bit by me}.

Other than that, have fun!

Entries so far:
None yet.

So now, my laptop is fixed. As a result, I can finally get back to drawing stuff that I owe for other people and other things. Trades and collabs are also reopened too; send me a note if you're interested in doing either of those with me, but I will be picky with those just so you know.

Hello everyone.

Yes, I am still alive. This afternoon, my laptop has stopped booting up properly, so now I am stuck with using my phone. As a result, I can't really draw what pics I still owe at the moment or post stuff for the time being.

Sadly because of this, I am temporarily closing trades and collabs until this whole situation gets resolved. I will still continue the contest too, which runs until May 22, if you are interested in joining.

I am sorry about all this, but things happen sometimes, and it can sometimes interfere with my regular drawing schedule, but I hope to have things back to normal soon and I will be able to draw and post things again.

Thank you.

An idea came to my mind as I was considering and planning things for my OCs. As I considered things, I was like "It's been forever since I did a contest... maybe I should consider doing one", and as a result, I decided that I should do a contest involving you to design an possible appearance for a couple of my upcoming OCs that will be in my main OC-verse. Who exactly will the contest be about? Well, here's some details...

The upcoming characters of mine in question you will be designing in this contest:
- 26-year-old female French ferret. Blue eyes. Short brown hair. Slim body type. Runs a spa.
- 31-year-old male American barn swallow. Brown eyes. No head hair. Slim body type. Runs an apple cider mill.
- 19-year-old female American squirrel. Brown and white fur; fur is white on the throat/chin and belly area but brown everywhere else. Long dark brown hair. Yellow eyes. Slim body type. Works as a pop star.

Contest rules:
1. Be sure to follow the design instructions very carefully for each character. The more accurate the design is to the description of the character, the more likely of a chance that it could be the final design for the character when they are posted.
2. The characters being designed must be at least one of the three characters described above.
3. You don't have to do just one character. You can do one other one or the other two if you like.
4. If you come up with more than one design for one of the characters in mind, try narrowing it down to the one that you think you like the most.
5. General/SFW art is very much preferred for this contest.
6. The deadline for entries is May 22.

There will be only one winning design for each character, and the winners for each character will have their OC design used for the actual OC in their final product when they are drawn and posted {although their design may be refined a bit by me}.

Other than that, have fun!

Since I wasn't expecting this journal to get pretty popular over at DA, I decided that I'm gonna signal boost this journal here too, since it's a pretty important issue that's currently going on that could possibly affect us artists and writers here.

Right now, we need to save Net Neutrality before the 23rd. We need one more senate vote before then in order for Net Neutrality to be kept in its original place. Now, it is time to break this recent silence in regards to this.

Now, before you say "I thought Net Neutrality is just water under the bridge now", Net Neutrality could disappear before our very eyes later this month if we don't win. Now, if you follow me over at DA, you may remember that I created a few journals in the past about Net Neutrality, but I didn't really go into much detail about them.

But now, the time for saving Net Neutrality is VERY important, and I will be going into more detail about it this time. We are exactly one senate vote away from saving Net Neutrality from the clutches of being thrown away in a garbage can, and it has stayed this way for at least a month currently. We need this one last senate vote for us to be saved, and we need our voices to be heard!

On the 23rd, Net Neutrality will vanish if we do not get this one last vote. What we could get in its place is paywalls to view certain sites, slowing down internet connections, and blocking certain websites. In short, the internet could be turned into cable TV, but MUCH worse. It could be worse than SOPA and any bill that was related to it. And nobody wants that!

We could very much be revisiting the pre-internet era if we do not win. Now, let's look into an example. Imagine that you're a child living in the early/mid 90s. You loved cartoons like Rugrats and the shows on the Disney Afternoon, recording the episodes on a video cassette to watch them again and again, and in terms of video games, you were in love with your SNES and/or Sega Genesis. We could be possibly going back to days similar to those.

I really do not know what will happen when the 23rd draws near us. We could be potentially have a big protest a la the blackout that took place during the SOPA and PIPA crisis or something similar to that, or we could be quiet about the whole thing. Most people would want to see the former happen.

I am taking this very seriously this time because if we do not get this one last senate vote before the 23rd, I will not be sure what to do next. Without Net Neutrality, we would not have improved on our drawing and writing skills. Heck, I even have art trades/collabs to complete and pics in my DA Stash that I intend to post soon, and I need Net Neutrality in order to do this.

TLDR: Save Net Neutrality before the 23rd, before it is too late.

For those that have any related links to this, please let me know. Be sure to spread the word about this whole situation as well.

*walks in, wearing Legion's {from FE12} mask*

Yes yes yes! I have returnedses from another breakses!

*takes off Legion's mask*

Anyways, in short, I've returned. As a result, art trades and collabs are now reopened. For those interested in a trade or a collab, just send me a note, but do keep in mind I will be picky about who I will do trades and collabs with.

And again, I've decided to close trades and collabs for a little while. As usual, I will still be working on whatever I owe for others, so don't worry.

Because sometimes artists take breaks to deal with real-life work, take vacations and have fun there, or just have some time off in general. I have also happened to take a break for a while, and although I shall not fully in-depth say why, but I will tell you that I am not dead and I am completely okay. So do not worry.

Anyways, as I've said, I've returned. With that set aside, art trades and collabs are now reopened. For those of you that are interested, just send me a note, but I will be picky so don't yell at me if I say no.

As the journal title says, I will be closing art trades and collabs for the time being. While they're closed, I'll still work on whatever I owe, so don't worry.

I just reposted the Mozuberry because something went wrong with the big thumbnail, and it's still showing up as "Image not found", even after trying to repost.

Does anyone know how this can be fixed?

EDIT: Problem solved.

First off before I begin with this little announcement here, merry Christmas and I hope you have a good one!

I also ended up getting an art tablet today as a Christmas gift, meaning I WILL be returning to digital art. Stay tuned for what's to come later on!

With Thanksgiving finally winding down, I'd like to make an announcement!

1. I will be returning to NSFW art now with some ideas on the way soon. However, do not get your hopes up to give me NSFW ideas yet, as I won't be taking NSFW trade/collab ideas for a small while.

2. My apologies if I haven't been active as I have been lately. I've been playing Pokemon Sun and it's currently eating up my time; right now I'm completing the Alolan Dex and it's coming along smoothly!

Well, that's all I've gotta say for now. Until next time!

Now that I have pretty much caught up with the messages I've got in my inbox, I'm now happy to announce that I have returned, and that trades and collabs are now reopened!

For those interested in a trade or collab with me, just send me a PM.

So once again, art trades and collabs are now closed for the time being. For those who are currently arranging trades with me, do not panic -- those will still be going.

The request raffle is over, and the winners this time are  joe-anthro and Discosonicdude!

It's that time again -- it's request raffle time!

Rules:
1. Anybody who watches me and doesn't watch me can participate.
2. To enter this raffle, comment on this journal saying "Hello summertime!"
3. The winner will be announced sometime on Tuesday. Since I'm in the mood, I will announce two winners this time around. I will extend the deadline when needed.

Other than that, have fun!

As I'm feeling bored, anybody want to do an art trade with me? If you're interested, let me know, but keep in mind that I will be picky about who I will do an art trade with. Don't scream or yell at me if I say no.

If you were doing an art trade with me and you forgot what I wanted and/or never got around to your half, be sure to let me know right away.
