Scrolling through all the art there is so nice right now, I hope it never changes 🥺

27 is such a weird number, though, dontya think?
Posted 6 years agoOfc it'll take weeks/months of still thinking I'm 26 before it sets in xD
I'll probably make myself a triple lemon jello poke cake soon, but for now I'm on the road B)

Merry Christmas an Happy New Years!
Posted 7 years agoThe reason I haven't done much the past 2 weeks is because I've been away from home the past two weeks.
And out of those 2 weeks, 14 days, I spent 7 of them driving. Over 5,000 miles, from SoCal to northern Michigan and back.
It's good to be home, it's nice catching up on everything, and it was nice catching up with family/friends, but I'm not going to be driving anywhere for awhile 3:<
Can't wait to get back into the swing of things, art-wise, too!

I am has birthday?
Posted 7 years agoI am has birthday.
It's come to my attention...
Posted 7 years ago...that a character I've drawn recently didn't belong to the person who I drew it for.
The fact that the character didn't belong to them wasn't mentioned; I've always asked for permission in the past to draw characters that didn't belong to me or the requester. In every case before this the fact that a character wasn't owned by either party was clear; it never occurred to me before now to bother asking to be sure beforehand.
I'm sorry for any form of pain or frustration on the owner's part that I've caused.
I've deleted the submission in question; in both anger at myself and an attempt in good faith.
I've worked with the person who requested that draw in the past, and I don't believe any ill will was intended.
I've changed my rules regarding non-personal art from now on, and they can be seen from the description on my profile page.

Posted 8 years agoHeat Wave!
Posted 8 years agoToo hot to do anything at the moment; I feel like I'm melting to my chair 3:'
I won't be doing much, drawing wise, for the next couple days. Early morning after work can draw a bit, but by noon the heat's unbearable.
I'm gonna just chill out, figuratively (and hopefully literally), for the next day or two and hope the temps come back down to reasonable levels ^^

Request slots are full!
Posted 8 years agoRequest Slots Filled/Closed
Posted 8 years agoI've been taking a break for a week or so to recharge my batteries, and now I'm gonna open up a few slots for requests ^^
I'd like to note that my pace is heavily set on my inspiration, and though I'm pretty excited to be drawing some requests, my inspiration to draw in general varies quite a bit. Basically don't expect me to pump anything out quickly ^^ It's pretty much guaranteed that I won't blow through these. I'd say a week per request is a decent estimate; maybe more, maybe less.
I'll draw pretty much anything fat related; maybe a bit of inflation ;3
I'm very rarely inspired to draw males, though; feel free to request some male fats, but don't get your hopes too high 3:
I absolutely won't draw scat/gas/death/excessive slob (a little is ok); I may have forgotten some, but I'll let you know if I'm unwilling to draw something ^^
I'll be taking 5 requests; note me your deets, and I'll post a journal update when the slots are filled ^^

Update P:
Posted 8 years agoBeen working on the same project for a few weeks now. I've got god-knows how many hours sunk into it; my guess would be 40+ so far, and I'm gonna need a good lot more. Getting close now, though; just a bit more lining and then coloring, which shouldn't take nearly as much time. Hopefully.
After that I've got one pic I've promised someone, one pic that haven't decided that I'd actually do yet, one continuation trade that I'd like to do, and one last bit of personal art that I'd like to do.
Then I'm thinking about taking a few requests.
The main reason I closed them awhile back was because I was getting swamped; to keep that from happening again I plan on opening just a few slots; 3 sounds like a good number, personally, but I have received quite a bit of interest, request-wise, so maybe I'll take 5. Don't expect a guaranteed turn-around time, though; I can work fairly quickly when inspired, but drag my feet like hell when that inspiration fucks right on off, which is often :/
I do have a vague impression that I've promised draws for two or three people in the past since closing my requests; if I've promised you art, whether it be a request, collab or trade (including reserving a slot for ya), then please scream at me in notes. I've had more notes in the past two months than I've had in the past two years combined, which makes going through them to find ya hell.
I do plan, however, to wade through them I don't recognize a username from someone who claims I promised them art, though 3:< Don't make me waste my time, or I'll impregnate your waifuunless that's what you want, you sick f*ck.
Anyway, please get back to me if I promised ya something; I'd like to get that stuff done before taking new requests.
That's about it for now; let's hope I get this project don fast ^^ It's starting to drive me crazy, but I can't wait to see how well it turns out ;3

MFG, you guys
Posted 9 years agoJust sitting here drawing Nahlga as a warm up; actually loving the pose and the sketch comes easy as pie.
All that's left is to sketch her face/head and line. Maybe flat color. Having a grand ol' time. Actually pretty proud of it so far.
But wouldn't ya know; Nahlga is only my main OC, you know, that I've drawn about a billion times. And I can't draw her goddamn face 3:<
Fuck me.

Posted 9 years agoI've got three different pics lined up and about to color them. My net is out though; using my phone ATM. I'll likely have one or two done today, but might be awhile before I upload them ^^
Short Break ;3
Posted 9 years agoI started playing Elite Dangerous after taking a break for a... year or so, actually, and since then I haven't drawn much at all. It's been two weeks, and I'm still having fun playing it ^^ I'll be getting back to drawing soon, though. Starting to get a tad restless from lack of drawing orcas and fats withdrawal ;P
Lucked Out
Posted 9 years agoSo my SP3's pen has been acting up lately; disconnecting a couple times an hour. It was getting annoying, so I installed the latest wintab driver.
Today my pressure sensitivity in paint tool sai stopped working. After scouring the net, I found one comment saying that they changed their pen's AAAA battery and sensitivity started working for them again.
I changed my batter a few months ago, so I thought that couldn't be it. I bought a two-pack, though, so I figured what the hell.
Pulled the battery out, tested it with a multimeter. The old one was at 1.49 volts. The new one was 1.6v. Didn't seem like much of a difference, but after putting in the new battery my sensitivity started working again!
Back to lining the current pic I'm working on ;P

The Case of the Perilous Potluck
Posted 9 years agoIf you've never read it, do so; it's freaking amazing! Probably the best damn WG story I've read ever.
Inspires me to put more effort into the bits of writing I do for drawings every now and then.

Need Moar Practice
Posted 9 years agoI need to practice humans, dragons, hands and feet quite a bit to feel more comfortable drawing them (especially humans and dragons), so I sit down today to draw, and what do I start practicing?
Drawing dinosaur butts.
This is why I can't draw humans, dragons, hands or feet as well as I'd like.
I'm easily distracted by Dinosaur butts.

Teensy Correction
Posted 9 years agoSO I wasn't quite done sketching the next/final Sultry Swine page. Close, though; I finished up the piggu, but ran outta time to finish daffy in the last panel; that won't take long, though. Will be done sketching then lining tomorrow. If I've got time/get pumped and hit paint tool sai hard, It may still be finished tomorrow, too ;P
Fur
Posted 9 years agoSo I drew a quick personal drawing and base-colored it; then I made the mistake of giving drawing fur a go and ya know what? Drawing fur pisses me off 3:< mfw, no tutorials I've found give the desired result, not that I've put much practice into them. My un-aided attempt at rendering fur with the tail turned out alright, but I can't replicate that anywhere else. This crap is taking longer than it should >:/
The next/final Piggu/Daffy pic is sketched and needs to be lined; should be done in a couple of days.

At work: Bored on break.
Posted 9 years agoSince I've a surplus of mobile data since upgrading my plan for pokemon go, I've decided to surf FA on the go.
Mainly just to say that the next page I'm working on of the piggu/daffy series is coming out pretty nice, as far as I am concerned. I've got it sketched and plan to line it when I get home. I may very well finish it up today, but if not it'll by done by the end of tommorow for sure.
