Posted 3 years agoTwitter users (apologies to everyone who, quite understandably, doesn't use the platform) have known that I received a Samsung Tab for the holidays. My biggest impediment to doing ANYTHING these last few years, as you might've noticed, has been my lack of free time as a parent. (Followed closely by an emerging, rather extreme anxiety disorder! Turns out that ol' depression was more complex than even I realized!) Now, with Bear up in years and attending the playground, I have some drawing time but prior to this, I couldn't produce art as I only had my desktop. Strangely, the county wasn't supportive of my efforts to pull my PC out in a red wagon and run 300 feet of extension cord to my three monitors and tower!
Well now I have the Galaxy Tab and it has been *marvelous*. I'm still acclimating to it somewhat (I find inking easier on desktop with how I work) but it's handled exceedingly large files, runs Clip Studio, and manages cloud saves between both platforms. Sketching and coloring my works is pretty easy on it, so I'm finally able to draw again!
To answer an obvious question: I will not be taking commissions at the current time. A number of you lovely people ordered commissions before my last breakdown and I won't take on any business before those are finished. All your notes still exist. It will be done. ♥

Don't forget I have a discord server! You can @ me on there any time!

An Unfortunate Update
Posted 6 years agoHello all, I just wanted to toss out an update here since I have over 6000 followers on FA vs. a few hundred on Twitter and Discord. As I've detailed on those platforms, our cat is dying. That is, in about 12 hours we're having to put her down. A senior cat, she's by no means of the age we're accustomed to seeing indoor kitties departing at. Sadly, kidney cancer cares nothing about age.
This was our first cat, adopted after less than a year living together. An age ago, multiple jobs ago, an entire house ago, a few cars, another cat, a marriage, a baby. She's remained. And now she won't. It's been a very rough time lately, early treatment giving us the sense we were turning her health around- and each successive round of treatment only revealing worse and worse until she's coming rapidly undone lately.
So it's come to this. We just lost a human family member very recently, and now a furry one's leaving too. It's been devastating. I apologize about a lack of updates (and I know, you lovelies always insist that it's okay- but I prefer to keep you in the loop as best I can) and just wanted to let everyone know. If you'd like to keep up with my person goings-on either through Twitter (most active) or Discord, feel free to use the above links. I may be quiet for a little while. There's been a lot of tears already, and it's about to get a lot worse.
Thank you ♥

Pulse, Parenthood, and another P word I dunno
Posted 6 years agoI like alliteration but I'm too tired to think of a good one...
Hello friends! I'm sorry you see me so little around these parts!
As you know, I've taken on the mantle of motherhood and somehow haven't screwed that up so Bear is about a year old now! We're celebrating that birthday soon! ♥ (A reminder that my Twitter is full of little life updates like this if that's your speed! I also have one for Dr. Faust linked on that same profile. :)
Obviously that's part of what keeps me busy- don't think I've forgotten about our experiments on that snake! I still have the progress on the next picture in the series! ♥
Unfortunately, what's led to it being so long for completion is that I've been unable to work due to unimaginable back pack. Pain that was much worse if I used my computer chair (which is how and where I draw!) I've been dealing with this since, gosh, before Christmas? It was rough back then, but it's gotten worse and worse with time. That slow sort of build, and I'd blamed it on so many other things. Lifting the baby (which doesn't help!), doing this or that... But it was the mattress! After a decade, it's given up the ghost. I've rotated it, filled in with blankets under me, done everything possible- but sleep in it results in me being barely able to move the next day. Strong pain meds and muscle relaxers can only do so much!
So I've been banished to the couch for some while, and a few weeks back, using the bed resulted in a morning so bad I was taken in spasms to urgent care. After mentioning that on Twitter, the generous Thornedog came forward with a wonderful offer. Since I'm too incapacitated to actually work on anything, she's running a fundraiser on my behalf! We're trying to replace my mattress so I can go about life without pain again and get back to work! It's been a catch-22. Unable to afford the mattress because I've been unable to work. Unable to work because I can't afford the mattress. Here's hoping we fix that!
I'll be reposting her picture in my submissions so y'all can see it there for ease of use. I just wanted to throw a note out to everyone who doesn't follow me on social media! ♥

Hey I'm still alive!
Posted 7 years agoHey everyone! Just a heads up that, despite a lull in the uploads, I'm quite alive and well! Those intrepid few who follow my Twitter are already aware as it's a loooot easier for me to make a short tweet or two- but yes we've had quite a big life development here. You might recall from this little doodle some time ago that we were expecting, and now several weeks ago, things have come to pass! So don't go worrying about mother badger, I'm still around and all and REALLY looking forward to finding TWO SECONDS to draw and catch up and be with you all again! ...in the time since I started typing this, I've had to put a very upset baby back into my arms and type around them.
I'll be posting soon as I can again, getting everything all spruced up, revived, and get some art out there! Thank you all for following me and sticking around for those future updates!

Rise From Your Grave
Posted 9 years agoI'm alive!
There were some times where I nearly wasn't.
But now I am.Okay so, it's been a LONG time and I feel horrible about that. This is quite hard to write, even though I'm trying to bring hopeful news here, because of my constant self-doubt and critical nature making me wonder about each sentence I write and how it'll be interpreted. I'll try to highlight the big points so it's easier to skim. I've been away for over a year and it warrants explanation and apology. From the bottom of my heart, I'm truly sorry for being silent for so long. It was never my intent- and when my broken mind began to realize how truly long it had been I was further consumed by self-doubt and abuse for letting everyone down.
Okay so what happened to me?
As you can see from my journal of a year ago, it began with physical health issues. My medication was changed, because my old one can apparently cause kidney failure, and the new one fucked me up for a while. Aside from my blood pressure and heart palpitations being unpredictable, it caused horrible abdominal pain and I was unable to sit upright for... a length of time that I can frankly no longer remember. Had a few other, potentially more severe, health scares during this time as well and it had me all really bothered. I was hitting one of life's big birthdays, and people in my family don't live so long. Wasn't sleeping, found no joy in things I loved, couldn't find creativity, broke down in tears at the smallest setbacks, had panic attacks when trying to do my normal, enjoyed activities (such as cooking). Does any of that sound familiar to anyone?
Yeah, my health concerns spiraled to include a crushing depression and eventual mental breakdown.
It was a long time before I even realized where I was, mentally. Days, weeks, months blended together- all a stream I honestly can't pick details out of. A blur of "I'll be better tomorrow..." that never came. I was ashamed of this, and I'm still embarrassed, but it warrants mention because maybe somebody else is feeling it too. I cannot stress this enough- There's nothing wrong with seeking help. I've always been a do-it-myself person, and dealt with depressive episodes for about 20 years now, but this time I couldn't pull myself out of it. I held everything in. I withdrew from conversation. I submerged in video games, the one place where I felt I had control- and even there I wasn't happy.
One day, a couple months back, my wife came home from work and I was really frazzled. Dinner wasn't going right, and I was cracking. I've... long been in the role, with friends, loved ones, everyone- of listening to problems and not talking about mine. I tried to smile for her and it wasn't working. She finally noticed and said the words that did it- "Fuck my problems, tell me about YOUR problems. What's wrong?" ...and I lost it. I just spilled everything out... and that's probably the first time in nearly a year I'd felt something resembling alive. So if you're afraid to tell someone about your problems- talk to a therapist/counselor/psychiatrist/etc. For US residents, the Department of Health and Human Services has some helpful numbers here- https://www.mentalhealth.gov/get-he.....mmediate-help/
From there, I started fighting upwards. Some days are better than others, but at least I can remember some of them now. My wife gave me paints for Christmas. I haven't painted in a decade, and it's not illustrative but expressive. It's what I feel- and that's helped a lot. Maybe I'll post some of them another time. Maybe- they're pretty personal, as you might imagine.
Yeah, well what about the art?
I've managed to do some during this time period, though it's very little considering my old pace. However, I'm feeling more like I actually *can* draw these days. I have means (the painting, for instance) to try and stir my creativity again, and that feels so good, I cannot even explain. I have a piece of myself back. A core piece, one that I valued so very much. It's dusty, cracked, and dulled- but I'm repairing it, and I feel victorious that I'm fighting back against the monster that's had control over my mind (never mind how normally sexy I would find it to be controlled by a monster...). I'll be posting some of the doodles from this dead period, and even some owed commissions.
My priority is to complete my owed works, including the "Expedition" series.
You lovely people donated and the work WILL be delivered as promised. I apologize for what's happened and thank you for your incredible patience. My Patreon has long suffered too, and I'll be addressing what to do with that as well. Just gotta keep working through things one by one.
I am not taking new commissions at this time.
It's like building back up to walk again after being in casts for a long time. My pace is nowhere near what it used to be. However, I DO want to bring the streams back, get engaged with my followers again. Maybe I'll stream a game or two even, who knows. A while back, one of you tweeted at me and I responded... and the handful that replied to that, encouraging me... I don't deserve the kindness you give. Thank you all so much.
It bears repeating- Thank you all. Looking back, you were all spectacular to me and deserved better than my silence.Sorry I've Been Out of Touch
Posted 10 years agoFallout 4 aside- and don't get me wrong, it's great, I've been off my game lately. I'm sorry that I've been hard to reach. Mostly, I've been on a new blood pressure medication for about a week(?) or so and things have been... different. I wanted to start a stream after lunch today, for instance. Thennnn my heart was beating out of my chest. For no apparent reason. I may have to have the doctor adjust my medication.
I mention this not to alarm anyone, and I've been debating posting it at all- but more people read this than my Twitter so... Anyway, don't get too freaked out. Honestly, having my pulse trying to pound out of my chest is something I've dealt with for like... 7 years now? We changed the medication to avoid potential kidney damage, and I'm just trying to get this sorted out. Haven't forgotten anyone- I'm so sorry I haven't been my usual self lately. :( But yeah, don't worry too bad, I promise I'm used to this. Sorta, haha.
Anyway, I DO hope to have a stream soon. I need to get some other sketches and stuff posted as well. Thank you all for being super. I wish I was as cool as y'all. ♥

Tonight's Stream
Posted 10 years agoWell, it seems I cannot currently connect to Picarto at all. Neither the chat server nor streaming. Obviously this puts a damper on our streaming plans...
Hopefully it'll be back up tonight. I'll be checking it regularly! My apologies for this interruption.

Signal Boosts!
Posted 10 years ago1) HOT BIMBO TRANSFORMATION STUFF! (See? Got your attention.)
You all know
right? I'm a HUGE fan of the works they get commissioned and their ideas in general. Also a pretty swell person to work with! Well the point is, they're holding a YCH auction right now for one of my favorite things they've ever come up with! ♥
If you like bimbos, latex, parasitic/symbiotic assimilation, or just general hot mind-control/transformation stuff, you need to check this out!
2) My buddy Rock
is trying to get hired
Employment can be a real catch 22. You need transportation and so many other things to get it, but to get those, you need employment. Public assistance doesn't always help where or how it's needed. To that end, he's trying to better his situation through one of the things he's best at - Video games. Rock's had a long-running game stream, as well as tournaments wherein art prizes are offered (usually for free! Very generous!) and he's opened a Patreon to help his job search by the means of that gaming. A hobby most of us can relate to. Give him a look? https://www.patreon.com/RockawayCarter
3) The Bimbonite Expedition is trying ever so hard to get to the JUNGLE PLANET
Ahhh it feels like we're so close! We're over halfway there... just a little more here and there! Remember, if you just want to help, just want to encourage more of this fun little project and help keep floating out badger SCIENCE, even $5 bucks helps! Not every donation has to be HUGE! Those are *incredible* and I love you all, but even small contributions are still as wonderful, still as selfless and generous and help keep things going. I really do appreciate how far we've come already, and all of you have been GREAT!
EDIT: We're SIXTY NINE dollars away from takeoff now because one lovely, horrrrible person has a terrible sense of humor I love.
But hey, take a look? If you've been considering throwing a few bucks in, check it out! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16993738/

Badger Incommunicado
Posted 10 years agoSorry it's been so hard to reach me or taking longer than normal to hear back from me lately.
I haven't really been well.
I believe I have a long-term sinusitis? For a while now I've had constant daily pressure in my head which often leaves me with a bad headache. I'm concerned, but I cannot presently afford to go to the doctor. So I haven't been around the computer so much and have been in bed a lot more.
Just wanted to reach out and apologize for not being there so much for everyone lately and assure those of you who've noted me I'll be doing my best to get back to you. I hope to get the money together soon and get to the doctor if this doesn't get better. It's become a lot worse recently. Also I'm stubborn.
Gonna try to stream some work in a minute. Headache or not, I need to get work done. Thank you all for being awesome. It is always a pleasure to post art for you. ♥

Expedition Funding Clarification
Posted 10 years agoJust a quick note to mention I've updated how the current funding for the Great Bimbonite Expedition is displayed.
Previously, I'd just displayed the overall funding, but I can see how that might have been confusing and have led some to be wary about contributing, thinking that there were currently much higher bids for that tier than there had been.
Now, in the description of each poster update we'll see how the funding for the CURRENT tier is filling up, as well as how far we've come overall! I hope this clears up any confusion that may have arisen because of this. :3
Congratulations to our winners thus far, and I hope to see lots more of you giving it a go in the days to come! We've got a lot of planets to visit and a lot of starship fuel to purchase to get there! Thank you for your contributions in the name of, as always with a capital S, SCIENCE! ♥

Memorial Day Sketch Stream
Posted 10 years agoGonna open up a little holiday sketch stream since I've often heard that people have trouble making it. Here's hoping it helps! Thought maybe some of ya would have the day off. ♥
Approximately* 1-6pm EST
*If I'm lucky, maybe start before lunch, do a couple, take a food break, then come back to it. But we'll see! Seems like if I promise a morning start, SOMETHING will inevitably make that not happen!

Attn Wii U Owners
Posted 10 years agoIf any of you are interested in Splatoon (I know I certainly am!) you should know that there is a free DEMO available in the eShop. HOWEVER, this demo is ONLY playable during just three one-hour periods over the next two days. If you don’t hop on during those time periods, you can’t play.
They are:
May 8: 8-9 PM PST
May 9: 4-5 AM PST & 12-1 PM PST
So if you are interested in the game and would like to try before you buy (who wouldn’t!?), you should go ahead and download the demo from the eShop. I believe it was around 550 MB or so?

Birthday Wrap-up
Posted 10 years agoSo first of all, let me say THANK YOU to everyone who sent nice birthday wishes! Messengers, Tumblr, Notes, comments, everything saw some awesome messages on Monday and I've just been unable to get around to thanking you all. So again, seriously, thank you so very much! ♥ Birthdays have frequently been a very... depressing date in my life, so between all of you and my wonderful wife, this one's been fabulous. :D
Perhaps it was an over-indulgence on the part of my wife and I to get it for me, but as I mentioned before I got a WiiU for my birthday (albeit a month early) and for the celebratory weekend proper I had a friend over to drink and play games with. One of those being the newly acquired Mario Kart 8! Which I am addicted to- and have been gifted the DLC for by a terribly sweet friend. Love that game way more than I thought I would!
I even received a piece of birthday gift art and it's WONDERFUL! I'll be posting it in a minute!
Even received a Steam game off my wishlist! I'm blown away by all this kindness! So thank you all, for the gifts, the well wishes, and even just for following! All of you make my work so much richer and I appreciate every last one of you! ♥♥♥

Where's DB Been?
Posted 10 years agoHey everyone! Sorry I've been away for a little while- but hey I brought an art back with me for ya!
Life's been a little busy lately! There's been some funk, but don't worry yourselves about that. I try not to ruminate on the negatives. So let me tell you about a few of the cooler things I've had going on!
Been doing taxes- wait, that's not a cool thing! Damn!
Creating our garden! My wife and I are building an organic vegetable garden and I'm pretty excited about that. I've been growing seedlings inside for a few weeks now and the snow's finally melted away enough to build things outside! Which is good because I've got pea vines going all over our guest bedroom... We've currently got ourselves a big pit dug into a hillside in our yard and will be building it up this weekend. So, really excited about that!
Got a WiiU! My birthday is in just over 2 weeks and I've received the WiiU early! (Nintendo is discontinuing Club Nintendo a week before my birthday, end of March, and this allowed me to earn some last rewards. Get in on it if you're picking up any Nintendo merchandise before it's gone!) Really enjoying it so far! A few nice people have asked me to make a wishlist, so....
So far I've got 3D World and both Bayonetta games (Which I honestly didn't think I'd like, given that I never liked the DMC series. But, it's pretty fun!)
Additionally, I don't like this business of IMVU buying FA. A lot of you can agree on this, I'm sure. With that in mind, count on me getting to finally bringing my Weasyl up to speed. I'll be announcing that more in the future.

Badger Schedule & Factory Openings!
Posted 10 years agoHello everyone! This latest batch of bimbos has been a lot of fun and I'm still working on them, as some of you might have seen in today's stream! That said, I'm often asked when I'll next be opening and I usually only have vague answers! Sorry! D: BUT! This time, I'm setting a date to open!
FRIDAY. February 13th. I'll be taking Bimbo Factory slots again! I hope this knowledge helps some of y'all plan accordingly. 'u'
Additionally, I may do a sketch stream Wednesday? That, I'm not sure about yet. It's possible! Just a heads up~
But yes. Factory. Friday.

Annnnnnd Factory Closed! Wow!
Posted 11 years agoWell, I tried to keep open a lil while longer than usual! D:
I know, typically it fills up in an hour or two easily. And a number of people typically convey how discouraged that makes them, so I wanted to try and give something of a fair fight this time!
And yet, within 5 hours I've pushed the limit high as I feel comfortable doing and put down 7 of you that the Doctor just had to have. Which isn't to say that the rest of you were any less than awesome!
Omg, seriously. Seriously. So many of your characters were FABULOUS! I enjoyed every last one, and several that couldn't fit on the list- ugh, it was such a hard choice!
I know it's always hard to not get in, but I hope this method left some of you a little more satisfied! :c You can't please everyone, they say, but I really want everyone to be happy as they can be. Thank you all for being awesome, and let's all just look forward to more smutty material in the days and weeks ahead! 2015 promises to be a fun year! ♥

Medical Update
Posted 11 years agoWent to the doctor yesterday. Good news: Some symptoms I was experiencing were not, in fact, due to cancer. That was a big relief.
I do, however, have an infection and something just shy of a hernia. Which is apparently why sitting up to draw like I usually do is agonizing. To that end, I'm just trying to rest and get better and I've ordered a telescoping monitor mount that will hopefully allow me to keep my monitors close enough that I can lay back and still produce work. It should arrive Wednesday.
Despite being in pain, nauseous and forced to watch The Interview (Don't. It's awful. I did so out of family obligation.) I had a good holiday.

Schedule Update
Posted 11 years agoI've had some medical issues over the past week that have kept me from getting as much done as I'd like. Going to the doctor today for answers. I don't wish to give more details until I have more info.
Hope to feel better soon and tear into work.

Sketch stream today
Posted 11 years agoMaybe even tomorrow as well? We'll see how demand goes!
I'll be posting a notice sometime around 1pm EST, maybe a lil bit later? Y'all know I never seem to get it opened at the exact time I mean to. XD
The usual $15/character applies! Keep an eye out if you're looking for sketches!

Yay notifications work again!
Posted 11 years agoFinally. Held off posting anything since nobody'd ever get a notice about it.
So, now that that's all over with- maybe I'll celebrate by doing a sketch stream tomorrow! Check in around 1pm or so EST. It'll be nice to see you all again. :3
Expect some more finished work, including TF2 items, in the near future. Good to be back!

Where's DB?
Posted 11 years agoSorry about the downtime lately! There were a few events that knocked me around earlier in the month but I've largely put that behind me.
What's more to the point right now is that my mother is presently here for a week visiting. She's been here a couple of days, I've just been pretty tied up with all that! Got a few minutes now before bed to mention it, in case anyone was wondering about me!
I've got some finished YCH's to toss up soon- when I can find a chance between all the running around here! (Also- holy shit it is rough trying to rent a car. Pay stubs? Proof of residency? Guys. I draw animal dicks. Nobody writes pay stubs for that.)
Thanks for your patience! I'll try to find some time again soon to get some stuff posted!
(And ahahaaaa still skirting around my mom's asking to see my art. Hoo boy~)

Probably stream tomorrow
Posted 11 years agoHopefully starting in the morning (US Eastern. Like, 10ish if I don't smack my alarm, haha). Maybe I'll take some sketch work later in the afternoon. Just a heads up I aim to be online tomorrow! 'u'
Next YCH wave & Obligatory WHERE TO FIND ME->
Posted 11 years agoSo hey wow we're back! I was out of town this weekend as well so I'm a little late on getting things going again. That said, YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS! That's right! Time to make the post-FA-crash-is-this-the-end post of where you can find the badger.
I admit, I have let my IB and Weasyl both fall well behind. I think I'll work on catching Weasyl up first in the coming days.
My Tumblr is also personal (like my Twitter) so there's art here and there, ramblings, and reblogs. Now, all those are-

Picarto: https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.....atch=DatBadger
Weasyl: https://www.weasyl.com/~badger

Now to the other part of the title!
YCH! I'm about to post the next 3 auctions for bidding AND you'll be seeing the finished pieces of the original 3 this week! :3
So, we're about to open Demoman, Heavy, and Engineer!

Weekend Away
Posted 11 years agoJust a quick note that I'll be off this weekend. We're having company over, which I'm terribly excited about. Since I work from home now, and in a basement no less, I pretty much don't see anyone beyond my wife and cats until I go to the grocery store. So yeahhhh... that whole... socialization thing. And sunlight. Crazy stuff.
A weekend of beer, board games, and SMASH BROS!

10. That's cool, I guess. Now tell me something you don't like.

I spend an inordinate amount of time on video games. I also like cooking, a book here and there, probably way too much TV... I'm a couch pigtato.

25. Well, it's still not over!
Umm... ya-yaaaay...? ._.;
26. What class are you (low class, middle class, high class)?

33. That was a stupid question.
Well you said it, not me.
34. Would you rather swim in a lake or the ocean?
Oh! Umm... probably a lake? It seems less dangerous. I'm not a very strong swimmer.
35. What's your type?
Funny, sorta nerdy cause I'd like to play games together. But not someone who gets all douchey about it! Ohhh they ACT like they wanna enjoy a game with you, but then they turn into Mr. Royal Asshole if a girl beats them! Or they win and get all cocky. Gosh, I just want to have FUN! It's a game, for crying out loud! Oh, but yeah... Funny, nerdy, kinda quiet is fine. It's hard to describe, you just know when you have chemistry.
36. Any fetishes?
Uh-uhuh... >>; A, um... quite a few maybe some really bad stuff I don't know shush shaddup sshhhhhh
"Sadie, I think they'd like SOMETHING specific..."

37. Seme or uke?
I'm sorry, I don't speak Spanish.
