I'll admit, I've been all over the place trying to think of what I want the big project to work on is. The poker game was fun, but as mentioned, wasn't really sure where else to go from it. The AI playstyles could be as varied as imagined without breaking the modding stuff xP

The main themes I seem to be drawn on and want to include into the next thing, is probably gonna be themed around deities and using their powers and spells to change each other, with maybe a sacrifice or two along the way. (God of Unity with absorbs, God of Order with twinning, God of Nature with animal/tree stuff etc)

So far, been considering some gameplay loops for it, either
- a casual 'number go up' idle game with a focus on resource farming and base building,
- an autobattler focused around wizard line battles with status effects and spells,
- training a 'champion' with minigame dungeons and wizard duels,
or maybe something else no one has come up with yet x.x

(platformers are a bit too common imo, and an RPGs are difficult and a solo job would be an overwhelming task)


What I'm asking folks is if there's a specific kind of tf stuff you'd wanna see, that's not wholly explicit? Whether based around a deity or spell interactions with the above concepts.

Before you ask, yes, I might put in some cameos from Dream of Change, likely Yume and the dealers. maybe others.

Thanks for reading in any case. Apologies for this being a bit of a vague journal, just like to reach out to common thoughts sometimes since it's easy for me to get lost in my own world a bit sometimes.

Congratulations to the following winners! -

Feel free to skip the next segment if you're just interested in the results or discussion about current things stress you out.


Don't worry I'll not talk too much but these matters have affected me personally so it's gotten me a bit heated the last couple days -w-


Alas, this last few days have been.... kinda stressful for me not gonna lie x3. Mostly about two things.

Firstly, the itch io thing. Despite the fact that my game didn't have any full nudity, but adult themes like gambling and such, that still meant it got hit by the activitists in their shotgun approach attacking payment processers.

Secondly, the UK government overnight turning their citizens into burdens to the rest of the digital world! Seeing some mature topic sites have already blocked our IPs (understandably to avoid bullshit fees), or shut down, I guess it's time to start using VPNs. Friends have recommended protonvpn if you also think you'll need one.
If you're a UK user though and you don't want to trust VPNs for some reason, my bluesky is in the links and my discord server you can ask to join. These aren't safe from the same overreach, but at least they have the infrastructure in place to handle the UK's bullshit.
There are petitions for both of these if these effect you, but not sure what the rules are for linking those on here.




Tldr - Congrats to the winners! Shits fucked but don't let that get you down uwu

Thank you all on this journey for sure! I realised I missed out on a few milestones so I should probably at least get the big six figure one to thank all for their support and interest in my chaos!

This has been quite the more substantial year for me I'll admit, just in personal feelings and developments. Those who know me from ages back probably know I used to be game development (coding/ comp sci side) student before I even touched art, with a course I admittedly crashed out on in the final year, so being able to use some of my residual knowledge and learn new stuff alongside has really put a lot of passion that I lost back in place! And don't worry, I won't be leaving art at all, the longer breaks in uploads is usually due to a larger number of commissions which I try to encourage folk to post on their own accounts, but one of these days I'll have to start to post more of them on my end, especially the ones from the randomiser lists.

Next thing I wanna get better at is getting in touch with other artists more. I've noticed I've been a bit more reclusive than I used to be, mostly from an incident a while back, though I've been itching to shake off that social nervousness and maybe wander back into discords more. Preferably spaces though where I know more than just one person in a large group.




Since I have a couple of things on my plate, I'll probably have this go on for a bit longer to give me time to catch up with some things, so the deadline I'll set for entering will be the 25th of July 12pm BST

Otherwise as long as you're watching, feel free to comment below to enter on up! Ask any question or say anything you want, whether it's characters/kinks/ideas you want to see more, or if you wanna suggest stuff like the next game project since I've been milling through a few ideas myself. I'll do my best to reply when I can and give you a number.

I'd say about 2 characters in a picture (though some stretch for 'tf'd' folk) would be the limit here. Shaded of course


Winners will be contacted, up to them if announced!

Thank you to those folk still interested in it! Especially a couple folk already making their own stuff for it which has me touched for sure. I did make a guide on how to do it in the downloads, though they need to be updated for when I add dialog as well (which is already done, just getting everything sorted).

One of the reasons I was keen to shove it onto steam, was for the use of workshop to facilitate making that stuff easier to share, though I realise now that folk'd probably be limited if people were wanting to put more spicy content into the endings due to some rules.

I could do a mix, though so far my options are:-
-Make the workshop anyway, this will likely have to be TF-lite content in there at best, same sorta level that's already in the game.
-Make a discord server for this stuff to be shared in, or prod another to do it.
-Let people just make their own character packs and store/send however they please, whether itch or google drive etc.

Let me know your thoughts on it since might affect how I plan for it in future with other projects.

For anyone that was watching about the poker game, did a bit of a mini update on itch.io!
Some bug fixes:-
-Card and table skins aren't flipped anymore.

Also added name tags in game, viewable TF scenes in the trophy menu so you don't have to lose to everyone to see them, and extra forms to inflict on others after beating the challenge.

Also, I finally got the courage to push the button on steamworks to release the store page for wishlisting! Hopefully can meet the deadline but plan to add a stage, maybe an extra character set and some more skins (as well as achievements/cards if they let me). This version I'll have to set to being monetised though, due to the fee to put it on there, 3 dollars at most.
Feel free to use this place to lemme know your thoughts on it so far anyway! I sorta achieved what I wanted to mostly with it, and I'm happy to introduce myself back into development with it~.

Though it's no explicit nudity, I set it as adult to be safe since y'know, gambling and suggestive content.
Itch link: https://shalonknight.itch.io/tfpoker
Steam link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/....._Change_Poker/

Damn, just got back to good health and the site shits itself as I'm starting up again, darn :v

In the mean time I'll likely be posting my art stuff to my bluesky mainly: https://bsky.app/profile/shalonknight.bsky.social

I'll be sure to put it all on here when the floodgates open back up, though until then hope you're all well!
I have a quiet discord server I upload art to as well, though it's invite only so you'll have to ask me on discord about it.

Lemme know if you've any questions below, whether about art stuff or the poker game if folks tried it!

This is actually my second account, but at this point people know me as 'Shalewd' on a bunch of spots, I wouldn't wanna mindfuck a bunch of you :v. Though it's a great update to have, I worry if the 7 day cooldown might cause a certain type of RP spread to this site as well, we'll have to seeee.

Just to ask someone who has experience, if you purchase something on there for 2 dollars. Do you have access to that project forever even if they delete and reupload files? I wanna publish something there in time for easter, but I don't want to accidentally scam someone out of a purchase just in case I need to do a hotfix or bugfixes.

For those in the know it's the inanimate TF poker project, added modability too so kinda happy with it! Been planning on putting it on steam too as I sort out steamworks stuff this week.

Blegh, said I'd do this in march, but seems I kept it to the end xwx.

Either way, prices have gone up a little bit, this won't affect any commissions already underway of course, about an average increase of 10-15%


23gbp -> 26 gbp for base cost for a full body flat
30gbp -> 35 gbp for base cost to a full body shaded.
Bust/thigh ups will be a percentage of this still at 50%/75%

18 gbp -> 20 gbp for randomiser inanimates

Let me know if it's all good with folks. Apologies for the currency confusion -w-

You might of heard about this from me from the last good half a year or so if chatting a bunch with me, very on and off but progressing. But I've been developing a lil' poker game with tf shenanigans involved! Think poker night of the inventory if you ever played that before it got pulled from steam.
Mostly card tfs mid-game and each character having a unique 'bad end' for each win in a mini-comic so far. I'd say I'm getting comfortably close to showing it off, though not sure how so yet. So far I've added 5 out of 9 characters, trying to find a way for a player to add their own, though godot can be a little weird with file stuff after compiling.


Send me a ping on discord if you're curious, though I'll only take a few people in the week, the current state of the game I'd be more for receiving bugs and suggestions for pregression (unlocks or other modes/minigames) within reason. It's on itch privated behind a password at the moment, but I'll send screenshots to prove it exists first anyway.

Even if you don't know how to play poker, that's more than fine! It's not too hard to learn, but otherwise I'm sure losing is part of the fun with transformative results.

Before people get too excited, I'll admit it's gonna be mostly inanimate stuff,suggestive at best so wouldn't expect nudity unless I made a lewder version sometime.
Regardless, thought I'd at least mention it before I drop it out of the blue! Thanks for reading.

This is one of those burning questions usually on my mind, especially since I tend to rapidly bounce between moods so I worry that I give people whiplash sometimes.

I would use a poll site, but I dunno which are the best for that these days, but I'm sure commenting or just a private message is fine enough about it too.

What's the sorta stuff you guys wanna see more? I've sorta categorised people in my head into 'TF/Toony' folks, 'Absorption' folks, and 'Mergeplay' folks.

-Toony folks that tend to prefer the inanimate/clothing TF stuff I've done, and when I do part tf it's the expressive kind, eyes with blush.
-Absorption folks tend to like the 'fuller' tfs with less markings or colours shown. A fair few tending to perceive bodypart TF stuff as a type of absorption vore, which is probably true to a degree with some folk.
-Mergeplay folks tend to vibe more with conjoinment themes, and some more enjoying the 'partial' transformations I've done. Sometimes dipping into fusion and related shenanigans.

Some of you are multiclass'd I can imagine from conversations I've had, though this is my head canon to make it easier for me to know how to balance my sporadic content x3.
I'm sure there are outliers as well, though I'd like to hear from you guys sometime!
Just understand that everyone has their own preferences and limits, so don't go too hard in trying to out-kink people in the comments.

Just since I've not gone more out there with inanimate stuff, I wanna open up -15% some inanimate themed commissions. Only thing I'll ask is it not being intimately worn stuff like panties or socks since I've already done that x3. Either give me your idea, or just give me a prompt so it can be twisted like some evil genie or such. Prod me preferably on discord or telegram, though notes work too, just might see it last. Standard terms and conditions apply here.

1. abbiebaphomet
2. someroo
3. nerog

Don't worry, not yelling at anyone in particular but just wanna be clear about something. With people I've done a fair amount of stuff for and with reason to trust (like an online presence), I usually take payment afterwards, and have been open to having it on tab until the next commission in special cases.
However, I'm gonna be changing this up from now on and try to stick to invoicing after sketch stage outside of rarer exceptions now. And before sketch if there's a history of forgetting. Apologies for any inconvenience, I just think I've been a bit too lentient with this policy of mine xwx

I haven't got a specific date yet for it. but I wanna heads up that I feel I might squish up my commission prices soon, roughly somewhere between 10-20%. Letting me spend more time on each commission whilst balancing it with other things I've been doing. This shouldn't retroactively hit unlimited YCHs unless it's the super early ones, but either way thought I'd give you all a heads up!

If you've already prodded me about something in the mean time it won't affect that of course.

Beep, I'd make a submission for it but I sorta couldn't think of an idea to show it, so I'll open 4 slots via here for valentine themed commission that involve my kind of drawn weirdness with a -25% for singles. Maybe more if I'm not busy. Please prod on discord or telegram, or notes if you have neither. You can comment below too though it'll be slower to confirm outside of direct messaging.
This can include:
- Bodypart TF/Merges, either both on a seperate character (likely Amber fox or Pepper Skunk)
- Fusions/Conjoinments
- Inanimate TF, worn or interacted with to make the day more special.
- Could be teasing how they're on their own for valentines with the other as their butt etc


Preferably for partners to get together, but I'll take people doing inter-character dynamics on monday if there's still slots open.
Since this is an event sorta thing, I'll post all of these public so no anonymous commissioners please. My other terms and services apply as well! Please tell me if there are any websites you don't want art to be posted on either.

Slot - abbiebaphomet
Slot - violetman
Slot - thecliche
Slot - thossh

For those of you that know (or don't know), I've experimented with having a semi-public server that has been invite only for a good while now. I've been debating making it open link, but some things have had me have reservations to that, and I kinda wanna ask people's thoughts on it here?

Some quirks I've had with it:-

- Due to being someone that draws different stuff, there's a fair few different scatterings of kink fans out there! Which sometimes there will be a moment of discomfort between them with kink differences, sometimes drama. I imagine making seperate channels would help with this, though how many different categories would there be? I normally categorise stuff into 'TF', 'Absorption', 'Mergeplay', can be into just one, two, or all three of course. Does that work? Or should I split more?

- People trying to get way too close to get access to admin tools. This is gonna be something I'd only grant to people I've known for like 2 years or over at minimum, even if I'm clunky at server handling I like the challenge of figuring it out with advice sometimes, just not 'give me full access and let me install these plugins for you uwu', then blocking me when I don't bulge :v

- RP stuff. I'll admit, I used to do it myself to a minor degree, though with other servers I've been in it gets confusing when a group of folk's name ends up being 'Popular person's bra/padding'. A quirk of TF/vore adjacent folks indeed.

- The heralders of paws, may the soft, plush beans bless you in their holy embrace, pressing you down into the fuzzy socks. Probably turning you into them or something.

- People joining only to join a new server. You guys are great and it's wonderful to see new folk, but oh boy you're gonna get weirded out fast if you've not seen what I tend to draw. I guess for this I'd have to make a landing channel to explain with rules and maybe have roles.

- Coming up with events or activities. With this it'd mostly be gaming stuffs, though if anyone knows my choices for gaming it's a bit chaotic and not very mainstream. Maybe I could do raffles at some point, though I'd not call it guaranteed.

Whichever way I go. I'll probably have to restructure the bloody thing at some point. So it might be some time before I get around to it. With art stuff and attempting to code game stuff badly, I doubt this'll be at the top of my list to do. Maybe if someone is experienced with discord, and I've known you for a long while, you could hit me up sometime about it.

For those that wanna join, hit me up on discord PMs and I can let you know (18+ only of course), though it's a fairly quiet spot and it might end up just be another place to see my art or bullshit with me or fellow Shalewd-brained dorks.

I have thought about making a telegram channel too, but it'd have to be read-only if I did with comments, having only one thread can be chaos.

Tldr;
Discord servers are very interesting. Lemme know if it's a good idea to open mine up or keep it ask only invite.

Just to ask here since it'll be easier than just prodding folk individually.
Anyone know some good video tutorials or websites that's a good resouce to get started with blender?
Mainly just making bodies in it, not so much the post-processing stuff.

Apologies for making this journal in advance, though gonna ask and push some small changes to improve my sanity and turnaround for the average commissioner.

First thing, commissions done on the day should be the exception, not the norm. Sometimes if I do it, it's because it's a smaller thing I can get done or sometimes I'm in a good work state at the time, expecting it to be done on the day and complaining/cancelling/not paying due to it feels a bit unfair, especially when it's multiple people on the same night. From now on if it's asked for same day, especially if it's 7pm on a Saturday when I'm not in the house, I'm gonna ask for 25% added final cost, if I manage to finish it at the end of the day of course. Unless you have a good reason for it, like a panic birthday gift etc.
This means there will be far less queue jumping, and the more quiet and patient commissioners of you won't get buried for weeks, also will let me actually rest my hand that day if it's a rest day. There might be still days I finish it on the same day, but as mentioned please don't expect it every time.

Second thing, I wanna encourage and let people know you're fine to post my commissions if you've gotten one from me as long as you credit me. Sometimes I might not upload them if it's a character from media I'm not familiar with, or if it's stuff I wouldn't normally draw, but most of the time I'm just overly preening my gallery to not post the same kinks too much in a row or just genuinely have forgotten. Feel free to pester me to upload it as long as it's not over 3 months old, I've been especially bad at uploading randomiser stuff I'll admit.

Third thing, don't be scared to ask about commission progress about every few days to a week or so! It's healthy to make sure I've not forgotten about it, just not every morning please, especially if it's about something unpaid.

Fourth thing, more of a piece of financial advice, but don't go commissioning people when you aren't sure if you can pay for it. I don't mind waiting a while for it, especially if emergencies happened like a weather event or life stuff. But I'm not going to be very receptive talking to you about the next commission if you've an open tab.

Thanks for reading my rambling, just needed to put this out there. If you've any questions ask below or in private if you wish.

Edit: Just to let you know, chances are if you read this, I'm not talking about you so don't worry about it. More so I can show this journal to future cases.

Thanks to everyone asking questions and the interest!

Congrats to:-
and

I'll be sure to post what they want within the week or next

Hope folk have been doing well! Was so floppy lately I barely noticed hitting these and thought it'd be time to thank everyone and reach out to people who've been supportive!

There'll be two winners for it, and maybe a third if the two winners don't mind being together but we'll get to that. Regardless, thank you all so much for watching and being with me for my dumb chaos! Feel free to enter below by commenting, make sure you're watching, and just treat it as a bit of an AMA. From kink stuff, drawing stuff or just whatever as long as it's not tooooo personal.

I've been debating making a public invite to my discord server, but for now it'll remain 'ask me in private' status. It's become fairly quiet, honestly the way I like it, but I've been considering streaming art more at times.

Also, though I've slowed down a lot on it on the summer, I did make a bit of a working 5 minute game demo for an arcady absorption thing back in June, but I've been holding back showing it public due to it being rough. I might post it under a private itch.io link and a teaser picture in future if folks are curious. Though for now I've been working on a different thing that should prove simpler to finish, with bad end TF stuff of course.
I am curious to maybe talk with people more in future about godot related stuff, but I'll say it now I'll likely be focusing on my own projects with it, so doubt I'll be interested in game jams atm.

For those interested more in art stuff I do, lemme know what you think I should do more of! Sometimes I lose track of what's most enjoyed in my pursuit to be a weirdo, so it's healthy for me to know what folk want!

Edit: Im a dumbass and forgot to state a deadline. I'll make it Saturday 4pm GMT (12th Oct) so I have time to wrap up more commissions before then

Just sending this up again, and I've enough on my plate for until then, so from now on consider commissions and art related stuff closed until I return! I might be in touch still via discord or telegram, but if you talk to me about commissions abroad I'll fold you like a pretzel

Just to heads up to folk publicly, since some of these has happened a few times and I just wanna inform folk in future is all.

For raffles:-
In future, especially when I encourage a public entry from the commenting for that one, I will likely reroll if you want to remain anonymous, feels a bit skeevy on my end and unfair on everyone else.

For Commissions:-
I'm going to be a bit less accepting of multiple commissions at once in future, and sequences that are full body and have more than 3 parts I'm going to encourage to be split up over seperate slots. This has been a bit of a cause of burnout and slowdown on my end. This is my fault admittedly, since I'm very easy at succumbing to character fatigue (probably why I've been making a randomiser in hindsight xP). I will still keep my commission status as open for anyone to prod in at any time, though I might have to move to google forms and limited slots in future for a heads up.

Speaking of which, I realise I've never posted a link to it, though for anyone curious, this is the current state of my random list for those interested in having a look and critique:- https://docs.google.com/document/d/.....it?usp=sharing

Also, I have been trying to get back into game development! I made a little demo concept on one thing back in June for a slimegirl absorption arcady thing. Though dabbling my hands at other things before I get back into it. I'd be down to know more folk to discuss about it, though keeping it hobbyist for now.

Bit of an impromptu thing, though I thought this might help speed along some stuff I've been trying to get better at doing.
My randomiser lists are pretty much complete for the most part, though mostly have been done unofficially, though this is a list that's been hard for me to pin down without some help.
It's fairly simple, just tell me your favourite furry characters in art or media in general you'd like to see more art off! Preferably ones that would look decent in my style at least, so anthro body shape no less. I'll reply to your comment to let you know you've been entered. Suggestions I like will be entered into a list I keep my other stuff, which I'll make public soon, though for now can be seen in my discord or linked privately. Just bear in mind just because you have entered, that character isn't guaranteed to make it if I'm not a fan of the idea of drawing them. Preferably no duplicate answers, but it's not illegal, just means they're more popular of course.

Avoid giving species answers if you can, stuff like pokemon, pals, moogles, chocobos etc, since they either already have a list, or are just in generic species rolls.

I'll pick out a winner this Saturday lunch time and message them in private, and ask if they want to be announced publicly. If the week after is quiet I might pull out a second too so keep an eye out. Winner will get either a free randomiser TF, or a single with up to 2 full characters.

Feel free to ask a question too if you wish and I'll answer it, just as long as you put forward a character and don't mind my honest opinion sometimes x3

How's everyone going? Hope you've all been well.

Just doing this update journal to inform folk that I shall be out of the country on holiday with some family members. Since it's been nearly a decade since the last time I'd be a nice break for me, and might help me straighten my head out a bit. I'll likely not take too much tech outside of my phone and maybe a laptop, so I doubt I'd be able to draw or upload much in that time. I might be around on discord/telegram, but will have to see how the wifi is.

I'll do my best to finish up everything I owe before then, this does mean of course no large commissions in the last days of August with a deadline.
Also I for those that got here, any TF, characters or specific stuff you wanna see in august? I plan to do either a special edition randomiser for summer, or another YCH whether unlimited or group slot. Let me know in the comments below!

Thought I'd check on folk in this space to see how they're going. Especially at this timezone, since it's rare I'm not being a nocturnal.
Shalon on discord or shalonknight on telegram if folk wanna chat about art or gaming or what else I'm doing.

Just don't be too weird with it, not looking for a partner or relationship, just more folks to chat with :v
18+ and don't spam memes at me though.
