Mayternity Plans
Posted 6 months agoThis year for Mayternity I’m gonna - actually draw again!
I have a huge backlog of work to chew through, and many patient clients to satisfy. This year has certainly been a challenge to find motivation to create in.
The list of my misfortunes would be too great for this venue, but suffice to say I am reducing my workload and pulling back from fetish stuff. I don’t plan to close up shop but I will be taking commissions much more rarely in the future.
So this May I’ll be celebrating Mayternity by returning to streaming and finishing the backlog of work and we’ll see how that goes. Thanks again to my clients for your patience during the past four months.

Where's Riddle Gone?!
Posted 7 months agoHey everybody
I’ve been trying to think of a way to describe the events that have led to my recent delays but rather than a big list of problems suffice to say I have been having A Bad Time. I’m very sorry for the lack of updates and progress lately and I’m doing my best to get back to work. Please accept my sincere apologies.

What's Up, Riddle?
Posted 2 years agoSo, let me offer my sincere apologies for the absence the last couple weeks - I got hit by the Devil’s Triangle of family obligation, tech issues and creative burnout that took all my energy to resolve and every time I thought about posting an update journal I just would rather have died.
Anyways, hopefully that’s all sorted out now and I can resume my work. Again, my apologies to anyone that was waiting to hear back from me the past two weeks, and thanks to you all for your patience and support.

Year's End Commissions: CLOSED
Posted 3 years agoEDIT: Thanks for all the requests! I'm full up on availability for now. Remember, you miss out on a chance to commission me if you don't provide all the info and only ask if you can have a spot - I need to know what your commission involves before I can agree to draw it.
Happy Holidays to all! I’ve been playing catch-up from my bought with tendonitis this past month (you’ll see as I continue to upload Halloween themed stuff in winter) but I’ve made enough progress that I can begin accepting commissions again! As always, you may send me your requests on FA, or to riddle.august@gmail.com. Pricing can be found here:
Please include in your request:
- the details of your request (if you send me “I want a commission” and nothing else you move to the end of the line
- any reference images you have (characters, costumes, even poses if you have them)
- your email so I can invoice you
An IMPORTANT UPDATE to commissions is that if you’re a patron of mine, let me know your username and the level of monthly support you’ve given and I will discount your commission that amount!
Thanks for all your support these past ten years!

Skeleton Betrayal 2: The Horror
Posted 3 years agoI’m back with an update on my weak flesh vessel. I have tendonitis, which the doctor prescribed an anti-inflammatory for, and arthritis for which there is no cure unfortunately. Armed with this knowledge I’m planning to return to working on drawings while taking steps to ice, medicate and rest my arm. I will probably be unable to stream for hours at a time like before, but I’ll try to find a workable schedule.
So the good news is I can work around the arthritis, the bad news of course being that it’ll never go away completely. Thanks to all my commission clients for their patience during this extended break.

My Skeleton Betrayed Me
Posted 3 years agoWell this isn’t the update I’d prefer to write but it is what it is. I’ve been experiencing significant pain in my drawing hand and extremely limited stamina. I can’t even hold my phone in that hand. I’m making an appointment to have it looked at, but obviously for now I’m unable to draw. Really takes the fun out of spooky season for me…
Anyways, my apologies for the delays to come. I’ll do my best to heal up and follow doctor’s orders as well as possible and I’ll report any new developments to you all.

Riddle... Decade?
Posted 3 years agoWell time has carried on in the same direction, as expected. It’s been ten years now since I began drawing this fetish content on commission rather than as a private indulgence! TEN YEARS! In that time I’ve made great friends, connected with other artists, learned a lot about myself. I also got married and had two kids!
As I reflect on the work I’ve done in ten years, I am proud and tired - which I suppose are the best ways to feel about your labors.
Many of you have noticed the watermarks that have appeared on my uploads this month. Allow me to use this as a public announcement of my intentions - as the rights of people that can become pregnant are taken away by repulsive theocratic fascists, I decided to use the modest platform I’ve cultivated here and elsewhere to magnify the values I wish to support. There are a few in this community specifically that fetishize pregnancy precisely because controlling and demeaning pregnant people excites them. While I can’t prevent these people from enjoying my work, I can make it clear their backwards worldview is unwelcome.
The comments in support of the watermarks are greatly appreciated (and outnumber the complainers btw). The fullsized and un-altered versions of the commissions are available to the clients and on my Patreon, which I’m working on turning into a proper rewards subscription rather than a glorified tip jar.
My thanks to all who supported, enjoyed and commented on my work these past ten years!

[EDIT: CLOSED] 2:22 Sale
Posted 4 years agoA few addendums:
1. The pics must be originally drawn by me! I'm not lining someone else's sketch work or making a sequel to their work. The sale is specifically on upgrades to pieces I've drawn!
2. A Before/After upgrade is only $22 if the portrait is already completed - going straight from a sketch to a completed Before/After pic would cost $77.
3. This sale is not on brand new commissions - it's strictly for existing sketches/portraits being upgraded!
Don't forget to include your paypal email and relevant reference images - ESPECIALLY THE IMAGE YOU SEEK TO UPGRADE - in your note!

New 2022
Posted 4 years agoHappy New Year!
First of all I need to clear up some confusion. On New Year’s Day I uploaded a bunch of updated price sheets and then took a few days to rest up, only to return and find a bunch of messages about new commissions. Sorry for the mix-up! I haven’t re-opened for new commissions yet!
On that note - I’m aiming to open up before February and having a sale on Before/After pics, so consider yourselves forewarned! Thanks for watching and I hope you all have a great new year in 2022!

Whoops!
Posted 4 years agoMe all year long: Dammit, I'm not open for commissions right now, please stop sending me notes until I post a journal that says I'm open!
Me this morning: Oh look, my featured journal says I'm open for... commissions... since February.
Sorry for the confusion, everyone!
