I can’t stop thinking about some recent events. The retirement of Tato was terrible enough. I’ve seen the reasons people condemned him and it was blown far out of proportion and Tato did not deserve the amount of hatred. The fact that many artists I watched and like turned on Tato so quickly was also a tragedy (some even blocked me due to my support of Tato, I suspect).

Now, recently, one of my friends was recently annoyed by another artist because he was accused of stealing art. This stolen art in question was merely a table drawn by Tato, which my friend traced for reference. The actual characters were drawn by himself. Despite this, he has now been hit by “cub porn” claims from the attacker, despite the fact the NSFW pictures feature characters over 18. Despite this, my friend has felt uncomfortable because of these claims and took down many of his pictures of certain characters for personal reasons.

This saddens me greatly. This is one of my best friends who helped me through some dark times and introduced me to many new friends. He does not deserve this hatred. I wish we could do something to stop all this Cancel Culture and False Accusation crap. Sadly, as another artist pointed out, there will always be people who do this. What can be done?

As for the attacker, I discovered it’s another artist I watch. I’m not 100% sure of they’re reputation, but they do seem like a good person. I also discovered an artist I commissioned sided with them on the matter as well. I will always support my friend no matter what. However, I do still think it’s okay to be friends with these artists as well as long as they aren’t 100% dicks. As such, I may still interact with them. Do you not like this? I’m sure you’ll let me know, but I don’t want to start a civil war, so that’s why I think we should all be friends.

First off, I finally got the second half up for the Diapered Gatomon Day 2021 champs, sorry it took so long. Thank the fine artist!: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/45180775/

I was kinda sad on Christmas Eve, as the holidays aren't as fun as they used to be and I also can't watch the Rudolph movies without sympathizing too much, despite how much I love Rudolph. Then there was all the self-loathing from my inactivity on my novel to constantly putting off so many projects, it just made me feel like a failure. Thankfully, these feelings mostly faded on Christmas day and after. I have found some slight inspiration in babyfur/diaperfur writing thanks to a certain pic I saw, so that's something. I also have a story commission I'm doing for a big client, though I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to open commissions for anyone else at the moment.

You probably remember the debacle with one of my friends and a conflict someone else had with him. I will stand by my friend's side regardless, as he has given me so much support through the years. That said, I still seek friendship with the opposite party if they are also an artist or friend I like and if they haven't done anything too severe. This may be a controversial opinion, but I felt it needed to be said. I think we should all get along. Of course, if my friend continues to suffer from the conflict, I may have to change this behavior.

I've had to switch to another set of Unity Tutorials since the previous set required the use of pre-made scripts and items that are no longer supported. I've proceeded slowly, as I barely understand any of the script stuff and have to watch the videos carefully. Sadly, I may have to abandon game development due to it's complexity. You ask why I don't use stuff with RPG Maker and such, those software feel too limited, the only way to truly create your own game is to code it yourself.

I’ve probably made a journal about this before. Still, due to some recent events involving one of my friends, I felt the need to emphasize it again. It’s easy to believe every terrible thing you hear out of mouths. It’s not uncommon to see people attacking the accused verbally and mentally, often destroying their lives in the process.

However, before you start throwing molotovs, you really should try and stop yourself and get all the facts first. Is there evidence that supports the attacker’s claims? How reputable is the attacker? What is the defendant's say on the matter? How reputable is the defendant? How severe are the claims against the defendant? Is the defendant willing to change if they were guilty of something?

I want to emphasize this as much as possible since a good friend and artist essentially dropped off the radar due to a recent barrage of harassment and abuse (which unfortunately included hacked email) over some accusations that, while true, weren’t as severe as the accuser made out to be. This was a very sad moment for the year and I never want it to happen again.

This reminds me of a film I read about, “The Hunt” about a school teacher with this little girl in his class who had a crush on him. The teacher eventually rejects her (not harshly I believe), and the little brat claims the teacher is a pedophile. The whole town he lived in turned against him. Eventually, it was proven he was innocent as the children, being unreliable witnesses, answered questions with things like “he kept us in his basement” when his home didn’t even have a basement.

Despite this, the town still treated him like crap, they even kill his dog! This sickened me that there are people out there who are too stubborn to listen to facts. That whole town needed to burn. Don’t be like those savages. Don’t be like that town.

It took me almost a year, but I finally got a small segment of my Visual Novel finished and added it to the demo, plus some friends tested it and said it actually works now. Give it a go if your into diapers and scifi!

NOTE: To those who entered my Diapered Gatomon Day challenge this year, one of the two pictures featuring the winners is finished, however since it was done by another artist, it feels wrong for me to post it and I’ve been waiting for them to. A link to it is below. I have yet to find an artist to commission for the second pic, as the one I originally had in mind is busy.

Okay, so sorry for my absence, I’ve been switching between all sorts of projects and was binging Final Fantasy 8 before I rage quit it and now I’m binging Final Fantasy X-2. I’ve also been taking Unity tutorials finally, and I’ve made it through a nice tutorial only to find myself wondering what I should do with it next.

I’m thankful I have been able to make lots of friends online, It makes my weird interests worth it. However, during my time on the internet, there have been encounters with people who are friendly or want to be my friend, and yet I feel a strong disdain for these individuals and I avoid interacting with them.

Why is it I do this? One of the most common reasons is the person is a known Art freebie finder who jumps at every opportunity to get free art. I’ve had to block a few of these individuals since they can’t seem to control their impulses and sometimes demand requests.

There are also times where I feel people trying to become friends with me are only doing so just to get free art. I shouldn’t be so quick to judge, but it is a possible reason, as my Requests are clearly marked “Close Friends only”. As such, when I get random messages from artists I’ve never spoken to before asking “Hey, wanna be friends?” I usually just ignore them.

Another big reason is the person who is attempting to befriend me annoys or offends me in some way, often unintentionally, but it still causes me discomfort. I remember one friend who kept nagging me to see a certain movie every time I posted a picture related to it, and after declining a second time, he called me stubborn, which pissed me off.

Do these factors make me a bad person? It’s likely. Will I change my attitude towards some of these individuals. Unlikely, as I have difficulty trying to be friendly with people who annoy me. For my real friends reading, don’t worry, you guys aren’t annoying. Besides, I feel I’ve become an annoyance to some big time artists in the past, which is why I choose to avoid annoying them any further.

The reason I wasn't really uploading anything here for the past few weeks was due to the fact I was working on a story trade, and discovered that my writing skills have in fact stagnated as it was very difficult to accomplish. Regardless, I still managed to finish it and hopefully I'll fall back into creating more babyfur pieces.

I've been thinking more about my life. I've concluded is what I've really wanted is to create something that I can publish and be remembered for, that was why I became a writer, to leave something behind. Of course, with my declining interest in my novel, I'm not sure if I should continue on making it my magnum opus. Yet, with all the time and soul I put into it, I cannot simply abandon it either. Deciding what to do with it will be one of my challenges.

I feel as if I've been goofing off more than making progress in most of my creative properties. As mentioned, I used to take a higher dosage of a medication that helped me focus, then went to a lower dose and it hasn't been the same. I see my mental doctor next month, so I do have an opportunity to switch back to the higher dose, but many of my friends claim that I should simply try to improve my focus myself, something much easier said than done.

I think it's because the brain stops developing after age 25, and since I've past that age, my skills have degraded. I know several friends who are over 25 and they still make fantastic creations, I just wish I was one of them.

Anyway, I feel as if I've wasted so much time goofing off rather than creating a piece that will leave my mark for people to see. I feel like a failure sometimes, but when I try to get back on track, I still lack focus or enthusiasm.

For those curious about why I haven’t posted anything for a while, don’t worry. I’m not sad, I just chose one certain project to work on above all the others. Unfortunately it involves writing and for some reason, I was attacked by a massive strain of Writer’s block as soon as I chose to focus on it. Why is it when I try to commit my time, I fall apart?

No matter, this is what I must focus on at the moment, no worries. I’ll get it finished eventually.

Remember that medication I mentioned that helped me focus in larger doses? It turns out it doesn’t costs more than the usual dose. As such, I can switch back to it after my next doctor’s appointment. The question is should I? This will likely help me get much more work done on my projects, as I noticed a substantial drop after going to a lower dose, but do I want to rely on medication to improve my focus? I would like to improve myself, but I don’t seem to be making much progress.

Anyway, this is why I’ve been a ghost for a while. I do have many ideas for pictures and such. I was also going to give Unity another try at some point. However, I committed myself to this one story, and I will see it through. Good day to you all.

First off, thank you everyone who provided positive feedback to my last journal. I know I whine about stuff a lot and whenever I get support from you, it almost brings tears to my eyes.

I broke down and talked with my parents about how I felt, they assured me I could learn stuff I need to learn. They kept assuring me I don’t need a car, but I’m still mixed on that.

My dad also asked me if I was sad because I was lonely. This never really came across my mind before and could be a contributing factor.

Despite this progress, I still feel sad. It could be because I realized holidays like Independence Day aren’t as fun as they were when I was a kid. Then again, it could just be depression.

Anyway, thank you for your loving support. Hopefully I can recover some joy and get some work done on my numerous projects.

How have I been doing? Fine on the outside, but on the inside I’m still sad.

I’ve realized I rely too much on my family. If I don’t change, once they pass away, I’m basically dead. Sure, I’ll likely relocate to an area within walking distance of a grocery store or something, but is that living? What if I want take a trip to an amusement park or something? What if I want to eat at a restaurant many miles away?

The solution of course is to try to become better myself. Getting a Driver’s license in a good start, but then there’s so many things to worry about like insurance, maintenance, and the amount of focus required for driving. They all discourage me.

There’s other things I worry about what I’d have to do on my own, like managing taxes, medication, home maintenance. I know it seems simple to pretty much all of my watchers, but I’m a forgetful klutz, so I’d likely forget a bunch of stuff like that.

I’m also somewhat embarrassed to ask my family members if they could show me the ropes on how stuff like taxes and other required life skills. I’m sure they’d happily help, but again, I really should have learned all this a long time ago.

I’ve come to realize the biggest reason why I haven’t done any of this yet, I’m lazy. I feel the need to learn skills like taxes and driving and such, but I simply don’t want to because I’d rather be off piddling around on my computer like I always do, because I value my free time more than anything else it seems. I seemed to have picked up this trait after I graduated, since I was excited that I would no longer have to get up at 7 in the morning 5 days a week.

So yeah, I’m a worthless slob apparently. I want to go back to my original medication which helped me focus better, since that might help, but I don’t want to be a greater burden to my family, who pays for it. I’ve never loathed myself this much before.

I don’t want to talk to my family about it, I tend to get all emotional and cry when discussing stuff like this and I don’t want to seem anymore pathetic than I already am. I guess I never really did grow up. I’m still just a stupid child.

You have any advice? Feel free to share.

It’s that time of year again, celebrating the little digital kitten who’s butt is perfect for diapers. We didn’t have many this year at first, but then got lots of last minute entries. Thank you all who participated. I also want to say you guys don’t have to feel pressured to enter my challenges if you are busy with other things. I do appreciate it, but I don’t want to be a bother to you either.

We aren’t doing voting again this year. Last Year, we did a large group pic of all the participating Gatomon, but since that burnt the artist out, I’m going to commission a few smaller separate group pics instead. If you participated in this year’s Diapered Gatomon day challenge, feel free to post a description of what you’d like your Gatomon to do in the group pic they appear in.

Since we're not going to have any voting this time around, I'm extending entries for the challenge until May 20th.

Just another journal of me whining, feel free to skip.

I have been making progress on pictures (babyfur kind, of course), but it cannot hide the feeling that I have utterly done nothing with my life since graduating. I aspired to become an author and create a series of books that could hopefully be adapted into animation or video games. However, you are most likely aware by now that my interest in the second book has drained to almost nothing and progress is virtually non-existent.

I’m not saying I’m not enjoying myself. I have had fun playing games and thinking up new picture ideas, as well as occasionally working on my video game documents. However, I feel that these are too trivial and I need to focus on the skills I need for my future. I want to be remembered for my works when I die, and so far, I barely have anything to show. I don’t even have any skills for useful jobs either, as I can’t seem to find the spirit to take any courses or such.

I feel as if my time is running out for me to do something to help my future. I remember watching this old 50s educational film called “The Benefits of Looking Ahead” where it implied if this young man didn’t plan out what he wanted in his future, he’d become a bum.

Honestly, I’m still not sure what I want to be like in the future. I said a writer, but what kind? Would I become a local celebrity and sign some autographs and aid developers who are making adaptations of my books? Would I be a reclusive writer who only interacts with other people online? Should I focus more on something else, like art, or Let’s plays?

I’ve also wondered if I should try and make some friends IRL to hang out with. I never had a group of friends to hang out with and go have fun during the day as a kid. It’s something I’ve considered, but a lot of times, I’m content with just being by myself. Besides, the only people I feel I could have fun with IRL are fellow babyfurs and such (incognito in public of course) and who knows if there are any near me.

I’m sorry for boring you all with the complaints, I just want to feel satisfied with something I can do that will actually make me someone in the future instead of some useless manchild who just sits on his computer all day.

Don’t forget my Diapered Gatomon Challenge, you can enter until May 16th: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/9847537/

I’ve been in kind of a funk lately. I used to take a larger dosage of a medication called Stratara to help me focus on my work. I took the increased dose in hopes it would help me get back on track with my novel, it didn’t. I realized the problem was simply my lack of interest in the book.

As such, since the medication was making my mouth dry, I went back to a lower dosage, and now my creativity has entered a freefall. It is now much harder to focus on my other projects, let alone my novel. Sometimes I’m able to get myself on a roll with pictures, but for stories and other stuff, I can’t really make much progress.

I do think I am getting a bit better with focus, so maybe I was just going through withdrawal, though I still feel my performance is lower than it was on the higher dose.

In addition, I once again decided to try and take a look at Game Design, as I am frustrated with the lack of games I like, I wanted to try and make my own once more. I haven’t actually downloaded Unity software yet, instead I’ve been watching various tutorials to try and see what I would need to do. Unfortunately, it still involves a lot of coding and while the videos show the exact codes for the required actions, I still don’t understand how it works. As such, my hopes of game development has once again been smothered.

I could try taking classes for coding, but there’s no guarantee I’ll be able to complete them. My best bet is to watch video tutorials for coding itself, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to focus on even that.

Just giving you all an update about why I’m not posting much crap these days.

Soon, that time will be here again, the time when the small white cat Digimon will have it’s bare rear padded up in a thick diaper. For this year, I decided to hold the entry earlier so people will have more time to work on their entries.

The rules are the same as the previous Events: You need to draw a picture, write a story, or if you’d like, make an animation that involves a diaper-clad Gatomon from Digimon. The similar Mikemon or Black Gatomon species can also be used. As long as a diapered Gatomon is in your submission, it is clear. Pull Ups can also be used.

THE FOLLOWING THINGS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED
Genitalia
Sex
Humans
Half fur/humans
MESSY DIAPERS
Flatulence

Once you post your entry, post a link to it in the comments below to enter it. Entries will be accepted until May 16th.

What shall the reward be? I can’t use the same idea as last year, since that almost killed the artist. Perhaps several smaller scale commissions from different artists, featuring the entered Gatos.

Note: This journal is not meant to be an attack on artists who think they charge a lot. I fully respect the Artist’s right to select whichever prices they want.

Lately, I’ve been glancing at many different artists, finding many whom would be excellent choices to commission. As I’ve discovered these new favorites, I’ve also come across many who charge according to their ability, in that they are so well drawn, the prices are higher than I normally feel comfortable with.

Again, I am not bashing any artists who charge these higher prices, that is fully their right. The purpose of this journal was to gain some general opinions on how much most commissioners usually spend. Personally, my max is around $40, though there are times I commission more expensive stuff.

I divide some of my funds into several categories. One is for common average-cost purchases online (like snack items or books etc). Another is saved for purchase of expensive items like Laptops or computer programs. The last one is reserved for commissions and patreon fees. Since I have a set of funds dedicated to commissions themselves, perhaps I could grab expensive stuff a bit more often, just as long as I’m conservative.

Any thoughts? Do you think it’s fine to commission stuff higher than we normally like to pay?

I just got a donation from someone on itch for the demo of my VN. I appreciate it, however, the demo is completely free and since it has some copyrighted content in it (A Pokemon), I could potentially get hit with a "Cease and Desist" thing. So Please, DON'T DONATE TO THE VN!

I’ve made a fair number of OCs over the years. However, I seem more enthusiastic when commissioning or working with OCs of other artists. I’m trying to figure out why that is.

The most likely reason is that I simply find the OCs of other artist more appealing than my own. Up until like a year or two ago, pretty much all of my OCs were dragons with minor physical differences, aside from two who were lizards. There have been times I’ve tried to design new OCs and then up and forgot about them because I lost interest in them.

Another possible factor is the story behind each OC. The OCs of mine I enjoy the most are my “big three”: Leon, Parker and Nixie, most likely because I now have a decent and solid storyline behind their existence (also due to the adorable story commissions I got from my buddy Yosh-E-O). For most of my others, however, I just threw together a paragraph origin story and pretty much left it at that.

How to remedy this situation? For starters, I could redesign some of my repetitive character designs, though the reason I’ve stuck with this style so long is because it’s the body type I’m most familiar with. Body types like the more bulbous long-necked dragons are appealing, but I can’t seem to find a support layer for them that works. I could also just try changing some of the species, which may be a simplified solution, though I do feel kinda weird about doing it, since most of these characters were envisioned as dragons and changing them to something like a squirrel seems odd.

I could also try to develop their stories a bit more, write some tales of them going on adventures or hijinks. I just need to think of some entertaining ideas.

Still, I do find more fun to be had with other artists OCs (don’t worry, I don’t post anything with them without consent). What do you think?

Okay, I just wanted to talk about some stuff.

As many of you know, a popular babyfur was recently caught doing very bad things and it riled up the whole community. From what I’ve gathered, he’s now paying for his crimes and the incident has been sorted with. Don’t ask who the babyfur is, I don’t want to talk about it.

Like I mentioned, it riled up the whole community, with everyone denouncing people like him. I can agree with their choices, though some artists, including one in particular I was interested in, are changing some of their policies towards diapers, which saddened me since I was planning to commission them.

Still, I can’t help but wonder if one day I’ll be the one receiving the hate. Don’t get me wrong, the description of Pedophilia is the act of having sex with a child, which is something I find utterly repulsive and I condemn anyone doing it.

However, many people can also consider drawings and pictures to be pedophilia as well. I’ve seen numerous artists who refuse to draw minors, even in innocent situations, most likely to avoid pedophilia accusations. I do agree that pictures that feature minors in “sexual” situations are disgusting.

The problem is who they can point their fingers to. As many of my watchers know, I enjoy scenes in cartoons where characters lose their clothes and such, including diapers. This is not so I can see explicit nude parts, I find those uncomfortable, it’s because I enjoy the stories that follow such situations and the hijinks they can create.

Many artists I try to commission with ideas such as these often turn the ideas down, as it makes them uncomfortable or they don’t like the reception they could get from it. These ideas could also get people to think I’m a pedophile, when I have no interest in children at all. That’s what makes me uncomfortable.

I recall getting called a freak by a prominent diaperfur on Deviant Art because of this. Some other guy said he called the police on me one time (it was a bluff). As much as I enjoy diaperfur and wardrobe loss stuff, the hatred people throw at you from misjudgment is frightening.

Do you believe my pics and interest in wardrobe loss labels me as a pedo? I admit, I do draw or commission young characters in these situations, but never for sexual purposes or exposed areas, they’re meant to be innocent humor. Yet, people would likely label me as such if they heard my commission requests or saw some of my art.

Yesterday, I actually stopped working on a diaperfur pic because I “felt silly or dirty” working on it. This was the first time I actually stopped myself because of that feeling. I can honestly say I’m not a pedophile, but many would refuse to believe it. They would throw their hatred until it convinces me that they are right.

Or perhaps they really are right and I’m just trying to deny it?

You be the judge of that.

Sorry I keep posting journals about this.

I’ve been enjoying myself this month, I’ve gotten some great games and been playing them constantly. I’ve also been drawing a lot too.

Sadly, I still haven’t felt the spirit that helps me when writing my novel. If I ever have to work on it, I have to push myself to do it. It’s like the wonderful spark that allowed me to carry it has gone out.

As such, one painful question has been burning in my mind: should I abandon my novel? I put so much work and heart into the lore and story. However, I just can’t find a way to pour my soul into my writing anymore.

It just feels like I’ve been wasting time this past month, not trying to find a way to leave my mark on the world. I want to leave something in the world to be remembered. My novel series was supposed to be that, my magnum opus. Can I really just abandon it?

Even if I do, I’ll still have to decide what else to do with my life. The thought of it is overwhelming sometimes. Should I try my hand at video game design? Focus on Animation? Maybe try adapting my mecha designs into a new novel series?

I feel so sad thinking about canceling my novel series. But if I can’t muster the spirit to work on it, what else can I do?

It’s a fresh new year and hopefully, we can make it much more successful than last year.

As for me, I just hope I can finally reignite the passion I have for my novel and finish and publish the second book. I have proofread and edited the first one, in addition to adding new cover art, so at least that’s something.

As for other projects, I was doing some thinking. One of my bigger side projects is designing my own Mecha. By “design”, I mean just writing a description of the unit’s weapons and capabilities. So far, I’ve only drawn one mecha and one spaceship. For this month, I’m gonna try and draw more of my designs, however boring or painful it may be. I just want to see my designs come to life, and who knows, perhaps we may be able to use them for any interested video game developers...

My Holiday this year was less special than previous ones. We still managed to have dinner with my grandparents, they were still healthy. Not as many gifts this year, I only got two big ones: A Nintendo Switch and a nice new chair to play it in. Still, it’s never about the presents.

I still struggled to get into the Christmas spirit. I’ve been listening to Christmas music, which helped. I sadly am still unable to watch either the Rankin-Bass Rudolph or Goodtimes Rudolph movies due to how much I sympathize with him and my burning rage that erupts when I see him bullied. I did read some of the old Rudolph comic books though, they were fun!

This also reminded me of something else I’ve been doing: I’ve been looking up commercial breaks from the channels I watched as a kid. These include Cartoon Network and the long dead Toon Disney. I felt so much nostalgia upon seeing these old bumpers and such. It’s just like how Christmas used to be so much more special as a kid.

Time has been flying so fast for me. It brought up many unpleasant questions: How will I celebrate Christmas when I’m on my own? Will I still have online friends 50 years from now? Will I even be able to use a computer when I’m elderly? It makes me feel so lonely.

Don’t worry, I’m not suicidal or anything. I’ve also realized all the wonderful things I do have: Loving parents, a nice home, a good job, and lots of great friends I’ve made on the internet.

Merry Christmas everyone, and Joyous days to all the non-Christians.

Today was my birthday. I wanted to do something special, so me and some family went to a Bowling Alley, then a nice restaurant with delicious garlic cheese bread.

However, while this should have been a nice happy day, it kind of wasn’t. Don’t get me wrong, my family was very supportive, as well as friends on Discord. However, it was more because of my own mental issues.

Honestly, I really didn’t feel like going anywhere today. I just wanted to chill at home. I felt like I do that too often though, and pretty much forced myself to go, putting on a nice happy face. While I do like going out for fun activities like bowling, it wasn’t as fun this time.

This reminded me of how I put on a happy face whenever I’m in a normal public environment filled with other people. There are times when running an errand, I won’t know what to do and just awkwardly wait there until I man up enough to find someone to help me, feeling like an idiot the whole time. There are times I just want to fall into a fetal position and cry, but instead, I just put on that happy face.

Another thing happened at the bowling alley that was really annoying. I did very poorly with the game. I used to be really good at it, but it’s been a while and I couldn’t aim the ball straight. My family members applauded me even when I got a minuscule score, such as one pin. I know they were trying to be supportive, but this made me feel like a freaking 5 year old who was a bad sport. I am a good sport, I don’t mind losing games, so it kind of felt insulting.

Do these problems have something to do with my autism? I don’t know. It just makes me feel more and more pathetic. It makes me wish I had more of a normal life. Then again, I wouldn’t have met my best friends...

I figured I’d share some information about what I’ve been doing in my down time.

Taking a break from my second novel, I discovered while skimming over my first novel, that it contained numerous spelling and other grammatical errors. I must have been so excited to publish it, I never noticed. As such, I took some time to go over it and proofread it myself, and now it’s much better. I also changed some silly dialogue and removed some elements that are officially non-canon. Before I publish this updated version, I’m thinking of something to add to it as a bonus, like some illustrations or lore. I wish I could implement a way on Lulu so that people who purchased one of the old versions could get a new version for free, but I’m not sure they can do that.

Earlier this week, I was working on a picture with limited enthusiasm. While drawing, I thought up several ideas for fun pics. Unfortunately, after I finished the boring pic, I forgot all the good ideas. I only have two at the moment, though both may be major projects.

The first is a comic strip series about two late adolescent DLs who start their own web series where they talk about diapers and do other fun stuff (wearing masks to conceal their identities). However, due to how much work comics take, I may do this as a written story instead.

The second idea is to make a series of “Companion cards”. To celebrate all the friends I made on the internet, I was thinking about drawing an OC of each friend and framing them in a card template. Not like a playing card game such as Yugioh, just collector card art. I originally called them Friendship cards, but I changed it so it wouldn’t be confused with the My Little Pony FIM Card game. I still need to design card templates first.

The next topic: The Diapered Gatomon Day 2020 group pic. I apologize for how long it has taken. I did find an excellent artist who accepted it, but the artist has sadly been tied up with more important projects and it’s unknown if they will ever be able to get back to the diapered Gatos. There are two possibilities for me now. 1: Draw the group pic myself, which would likely burn out my art skills. 2: Commission another artist to do the group pic. The second option is more feasible, but there are only a few artists I know who could do it well.  tato is a prime candidate, but I already have something else I want in her hourly streams.

Next up, I’ve been dreaming about branching out my projects more. I focused on writing and art mostly, but I’ve been wondering about animation and game design. Youtube has many tutorials, so I might be able to try, though it would take a long time and give me less time for other stuff. As such, I haven’t had the courage to try this yet.

One animation project I’ve been constantly thinking of is a satirical series making fun of video games and other things I like. I’ve already thought up a few sketches.

Finally, I’ve been struggling with the urge to buy plushies after I saw this adorable Veemon plush. I’ve been reluctant to do so, as I still live with family and I’ll probably look like a disappointment to them if I purchase plushies. I don’t want to purchase them secretly either, as it would likely be worse than buying them with my family aware of it. Still, my parents are good understanding folk, and they know I like cartoons (I asked my dad to buy me three “Baby Felix and Friends DVDs), so maybe I could get some plush friends to snuggle with.

Thanks for paying a bit of attention to me, I hope you all have fun and creative days ahead of you!

Gonna try to do another game stream, with a game that will likely become a favorite. It'll be at 7:30PM EST if I manage it.

I'm gonna try streaming again, I think I really did fix the audio issue this time, 90% sure. It'll be at 7: 30 PM EST

Also, help a good artist save a snake they love from euthanization!
