So you want to be Glomphed
Posted 2 months agoThe Brax project was meant to be a bit of (okay a LOT of) an experiment between myself and UmbraRenard as our first real foray into the cockvore arena. But, it seems a number of people have come around expecting/hoping for more. Trouble is, while we certainly are open to doing more, we're not currently working on much else for it.
But, I'm potentially open to taking commissions for others who wish to see their own OC's encounter with the Brax provided they check a few boxes as to jive with the universe canon and also with me, a cantankerous crank:
1) Buyer is not a rightwing/racist/homophobic/transphobic/fascist sack of shit. That's a pretty big one.
2) Buyer's character is a fairly "earthly" species, ideally mammal/similar, though others might be negotiable depending.
3) Naturalish colors and design choices.
4) Some hair on the head is okay though ideally not a ton, especially if it's an animated project. Hair color can potentially be unnatural if explained as dye.
5) Character should be significantly smaller than the Brax themselves (Ideally close enough in size to the characters in the original animation so we can mostly do head/tail swaps. Easier for me, cheaper for you).
I think that's mostly it? In short: The more 'normal' the critter and the less Nazi-ish the buyer, the better your chances.
Price wise, well, I don't have set prices for animations and tend to negotiate them as I go. But if we're talking about something of reasonable size, like a loop, or something with a smidge of setup, short chase or what have you, the range is probably somewhere between $100-$300. depending on the complexity and how many new assets I'd need to make. I note that the first animation cost a lot more than that but I'm most assuredly not looking to make another 9-minute behemoth any time soon.
Still images are of course also an option and are much cheaper. How much? Well, I guess go check out my commission price sheet in my profile ID before I stop being too lazy to update the prices to something profitable.
Also note: Might offer a little bit of a discount if you let me ride the commission in my Patreon for a month or so before public release; you yourself will still get the art when it's finished.
Also note that while I probably should be more motivated by money I'm really not so I don't take every project that comes my way, and it depends on if it sounds like it'll be at all enjoyable to do.
So I guess that's that. Basically, you're free to ask. Who knows, it might even work.

Hello New Watchers
Posted 2 months agoSo, due to the sudden drop of vore stuff, I unsurprisingly got a number of new watchers probably expecting more of it. While I am certainly open to more Brax related material in the future and might have one or two more things in the works, I do feel I should point out that CV is kind of a new thing I'm experimenting with and most of my adult work is normalish M/F sex, albeit often with chasing/competitive elements to it.
So if you like the hide-n-seek elements of Glomphing Day but also (mostly) M/F sex then hey, you're in luck, plenty more of it. If you're looking for more vore, as I said, might be some of that in the future, I just want to make sure it's clear that it's sort of a 'bonus' thing I do right now, not necessarily the main thing.
That all said, hey, if you're looking for more Brax stuff, I might be open to Brax-related commissions, depending on the scope and details.
Otherwise, thanks for tagging along, and if the other stuff I mentioned also appeals to you, consider joining the Patreon where most of it is posted and hopping in our server. We've also got a Vortobrax channel in there if you'd prefer to mostly discuss that.
Rock on.

Regarding the vore stuff
Posted 2 months agoJust as a heads up, this morning I'm going to post some individual loops from that cockvore animation I just finished. Worry not for those of you who haven't blacklisted it yet, this isn't becoming a vore page (though I might get more work like that in the future, we'll see). I plan to return to 'normal' work now that this project is in the books.
Of course, if you were actually into the CV stuff, consider leaving a comment or two to that effect, Umbra and I had both never really done anything like that before and are curious as to how it holds up with the standard fare of the genre.

e621 suspended me for "passive-aggressive mockery."
Posted 2 years agoThis is the comment they cited as the problem:
Thanks for the comment! Patreon has been having many unfortunate bugs lately due to a new migration, making it tough to get accurately displayed numbers! For instance, if I tell it to organize my patrons by those who have canceled, it shows me none, even though I know that not to be true, as some have indeed cancelled - it's a bit of a mess 😮! In fact, the day after I launched, a site-wide bug caused many creators to be told they had zero patrons at all 😱 ! According to my account info, there are currently 30 patrons with no set expiration date, which matches the initially cited $150 pledge figure! There is a total of 43 active Patrons when including those that have, as of now, opted not to renew! Of these Patrons, there are around 28 in my discord server! We have a nice little community! Given my relatively low visibility within the fandom, I am fairly pleased with these numbers so far for just over 2 weeks since launch and have been happy with its steady growth! With my current financial situation, including income from other sources, I need approximately 80-90 patrons for solvency! I'm happy with the progress made so far🥰 !
But your concern is appreciated! I'm glad you like my work!
This was written in response to somebody complaining about the amusingly censored images I posted there, and how it would supposedly negatively impact my Patreon.
Of the two images, one was approved by management and had a positive score and a few dozen faves. The second one, they were less happy about, and since management previously complained at me for my responses to users angry about the previews, I decided to go the other way and be very, very jubilant in my responses.
Which I guess is also against the rules if you're WhimsicalSquirrel?
Seriously, this comment is the ONLY cited reason. Just admit you don't like me dudes, lol.

Saw a man die today
Posted 2 years agohttps://www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/v.....daytons-bluff/
Happened at an intersection directly along the route between my house and my parents' house, which is where I was headed when I happened upon this. I got there just after the shooting itself but arrived before the cops did so I definitely saw the dude laying on the ground in a pool of more blood than I've ever seen in person before. There was a lady there hollering and trying to flag down cars for help but, there was nothing to be done there, it was obvious. I did start to pull over to see if they at least needed someone to call 911 but that's when I saw the cops zooming up so I figured I'd better just get out of the way.
Pretty wild shit.

How my Patreon Launch is going
Posted 2 years agoPost it FA: A few people subscribe, they join my server, I thank them, we talk about porn and stuff, it's a nice little time.
Post it to e621: 60 downvotes and counting, somebody threatens to pirate my work, I'm called 'childish' for the crime of successfully predicting this reaction.
...Going okay so far! Honestly wasn't expecting to already have 13 subscribers. Thanks to everyone giving this a chance, I'm gonna do my best to make sure I keep the content rolling out. And thanks to the e621 userbase for being the most predictable bunch of entitled little shits in the fandom. You can't disappoint me when you're always disappointing me.

Patreon Launch - NEW ANIMATION
Posted 2 years agohttps://www.patreon.com/whimsicalsquirrel
https://www.patreon.com/whimsicalsquirrel
https://www.patreon.com/whimsicalsquirrel
Alright folks, because I'd eat failure with a fork and knife if I could, I've decided to attempt to start a Patreon. Simply put, the majority of my NSFW stuff will be over there from now on. This is a remarkably ill-informed attempt to gain a solvent income EXCLUSIVELY from this, so it's not merely a cynical cash grab, I'm just trying to keep the AC running, and spend my days doing something I don't completely dread.
For now, to keep things simple, there will be a single tier which costs $5 a month for everything offered. Consider it an introductory rate until I get an idea of what the hell I'm doing, here.
WHY SHOULD YOU BLOW $5 ON THIS?
- My newest animation, the formal introduction to CHAS>R, can be viewed there RIGHT NOW.
- Probably gonna stick the bulk of my porn there.
- I'm going to attempt a serious uptick in animation frequency, which will also largely be hosted there.
- Dropping a new recurring NSFW scenario known as "CHAS>R" which will be mostly a Patreon exclusive.
- Exclusive Discord channel which will feature WIPs of drawings and animations I'm working on.
- Admit it: nobody else is doing womp-womp style rape porn quite like me.
WHAT I'D LIKE TO TRY IN THE FUTURE:
- Patrons occasionally vote on which projects/elements to focus on next
- Patrons can vote on unfinished projects to 'resurrect.'
- Patrons can vote on previous drawings to be given an animated version
-THE DISCORD SERVER-
This'll be a spot for me to post WIPs and also finished projects to a 'live' audience. You'll see what I'm working on, how it's going, and hear a little about where I'm trying to go with it. The server will encourage engagement and conversation.
And also...fuck Nazis! This isn't going to be the usual deal where you're obligated to be nice to the worst people in the world as not to hurt my standing within the shithead demographic. Anyone comes in there spouting their Andrew Tate bullshit, consider it open season.
WHAT IS CHAS>R?
Originally started as a social game for fun and flirt, CHAS>R allows users to register as Runnrs, Chasrs, or Watchrs. Marketed as a socializing app, the base game sees Runnrs use real-time GPS to seek out Runnrs in their area, sort of a city-wide (or larger) game of tag or hide and seek. Over time, what the parent company BluLink claimed was just meant for 'innocent fun' was transformed by a userbase which normalized the practice of Chasr's looking for a little more in the way of "rewards" for catching a Runnr. Exploding in popularity upon the rise of this trend, Runnrs now monetize their accounts by teasing and antagonizing Watchrs and Chasrs, gaining income-boosting bounties from Watchrs desperate to see them caught in the grasp of any Chasrs who think they can find them.
More info coming soon.
That's the pitch, for now. I'm hard at work looking to fill this thing out with new projects and especially animations, so while it may look a little stark now, you should hopefully see quite a bit dropping in not a lot of time.

Tornado Chasing Game
Posted 2 years agoI uploaded a journal about this the other day before coming to my senses and deleting it. But, since I love futility, would eat it with a fork if I could, I'm putting it back.
Anyway, Steam's got this early access game on sale right now called Tornado: Research and Rescue. It's basically a love letter to Twister as the main idea behind the game is to try and deploy a probe into the path of a tornado and collect wind samples which can be sold for cash to improve your equipment. The game is very rough around the edges, as it's a single dev doing a passion project, and I can't say the graphics are great or even good but what the game gets right in spades in the intensity of the close encounters with the twisters themselves, imparting a real sense of dread on you when you've made a fatal mistake and realize one's bearing down on your position.
But since roughly 73% of my watchers are villiterates (voluntary illiterates), let's just go to the video:
This is probably my best overall video for showing what the game's about at its best.
This is an older clip where I had death settings more lenient so, I'm able to drive like a maniac through the fields without consequence.
The extra clip at the end of this one is to show how amusingly and anticlimactically easy it is to die by hitting a rock or something. Hoping the dev improves on that.
My first death as a direct result of a tornado. The clip afterward shows the tornado after I respawned, and how quickly it grew, which was the primary reason it caught me off guard.

Posted 2 years agoNot that I didn't know e621 sucks, but...
Posted 2 years agoI reported a user for a series of exclusively racist comments earlier. Like, all of his comments were racist. All of them complained about porn animations that involved dark-skinned characters. In the report I expressed bewilderment that the guy had only been warned so far and not permanently banned.
Got a response back telling me not tell the mods how to do their job.
Well I can hardly imagine how I could have done that. I haven't seen you do it, yet.
Wanna see the racist comments in question? Check out this thread. Super important that we don't punish this guy too harshly. Marketplace of ideas.

I mean it's a trash site for trash people so I don't know what else I was expecting.

They are so overthinking this
Posted 2 years agoAll you need to do is make like a single paragraph update that says "we're banning stuff that's clearly meant to look kinda pedo-y. If it's clearly not trying to be pedo-y, it's fine. Try to be less pedo-y on the whole."
And instead we have whatever the hell this new one is.
I would like to point out that I have no horse in this race and am generally just hoping for the funniest possible outcome.

A thought
Posted 2 years ago"Damn it, just because I like youthful looking characters doesn't mean I'm some kind of pedo, and out of protest, I'm migrating all of my art to the website which specifically caters to all the pedos where me and my art are welcome!!!"
...Is a weird take.
...Is a weird take.
Anyway, I'm done with school
Posted 2 years agoYesterday was the last day. It was just a year long program and frankly while I know more about web design than I did, I don't think it's enough for actual employment. There's also the little problem of me discovering, or rather confirming, that I hate it.
Not really sure what's next. It was supposed to be part of some big grand plan but frankly I think it was probably just a waste of time and some money (though not much money, at least). Gonna have to find some menial job to do. Or be homeless, I could kind of go for either.
I've been quiet around here. I think that's largely to do with me starting a small group chat with the only people I feel I ever need to hear from. And I haven't felt particularly excited about the prospect of posting art so that's been slow. Talking about my hobbies or interests is a bust. So it's just been easier to kinda not participate much. Can't say I super miss the engagement, either. It wasn't exactly a quality product.
So, that's the update I guess. Over the next however-long I'll be playing boxing and Zelda, and thinking about shooting Nazis. Pretty mundane stuff.

It's been a rough week
Posted 2 years agoI've got a bad and very painful cavity that I finally worked up the nerve to have treated. But the dentist decided my blood pressure was too high to treat it. So she sent me home in more pain than I went in with. I had to book an appointment with a doctor for more than a week after that initial appointment in order to get the drugs I need to lower my BP down to the numbers of people who are legally entitled to dental care.
I don't like to make plans for my birthday because every time I try, something ends up ruining them, such as the time my sister's cat died and I had to go in for emergency surgery. All the same, I made modest plans, have my sister come in to hang out, then go out to a favorite restaurant with the family that I haven't visited in a few years. The tooth thing was threatening to derail the dinner plans but I was practicing eating and drinking in ways that don't hurt so much.
But, turns out the tooth would be non-factor in the plans. Tested positive for COVID on Friday night. Birthday off, doctor's appointment cancelled. I'm gonna spend my 32nd go around alone in my apartment, quarantined, seeing nobody, doing nothing.
So I spent this past weekend quite miserable, coughing myself awake every time I started to nod off. I'm running off of...maybe a full night's worth of sleep stretched across the previous 4 days. Then, I learn mom got it, too. Not sure who gave it to who, it was pretty much one after the other, and we saw each other just a day or so prior. Mom's in her 60's and has numerous respiratory illnesses and two forms of cancer, so...needless to say, her stint of COVID sent her to the hospital. Though I'm a little jealous, as they got her back on her feet in a couple days, where as I had to tough it out and still have a bit to go. No Paxlovid for me, I don't have a primary MD to prescribe it.
So the past 4 days have been basically me locked into my studio apartment doing nothing but staring at coding homework and entombing myself in tissues while surviving on Advil and my mom's Oxycontins to get me through the day, all the while cursing my decision to make plans to have extremely meager fun this weekend. I knew better. I have the surgical scars to prove it.
I didn't mention this earlier because I was already in a mindset to tear somebody's head off which was going to happen at pretty much the exact moment one of my followers commented with 'get well soon man' as canned responses like that make me want to burn cities and boil seas.
Now I can't in good conscience suggest that this is significantly impacting my behavior as I'm always an angry jerk but, this week it's more than just incidental.
I don't like to make plans for my birthday because every time I try, something ends up ruining them, such as the time my sister's cat died and I had to go in for emergency surgery. All the same, I made modest plans, have my sister come in to hang out, then go out to a favorite restaurant with the family that I haven't visited in a few years. The tooth thing was threatening to derail the dinner plans but I was practicing eating and drinking in ways that don't hurt so much.
But, turns out the tooth would be non-factor in the plans. Tested positive for COVID on Friday night. Birthday off, doctor's appointment cancelled. I'm gonna spend my 32nd go around alone in my apartment, quarantined, seeing nobody, doing nothing.
So I spent this past weekend quite miserable, coughing myself awake every time I started to nod off. I'm running off of...maybe a full night's worth of sleep stretched across the previous 4 days. Then, I learn mom got it, too. Not sure who gave it to who, it was pretty much one after the other, and we saw each other just a day or so prior. Mom's in her 60's and has numerous respiratory illnesses and two forms of cancer, so...needless to say, her stint of COVID sent her to the hospital. Though I'm a little jealous, as they got her back on her feet in a couple days, where as I had to tough it out and still have a bit to go. No Paxlovid for me, I don't have a primary MD to prescribe it.

Hey look, a decent new boxing sim finally
Posted 2 years agoIt's that of year again where I talk about video games that nobody but me cares about.
And to quote Bobby Hill:
*Looks around*
These kids don't look like they like sports.
Anyway, since EA hasn't given us a new Fight Night in 12 fucking years, and even if they did they'd probably ruin it because it's EA, an indie studio called Steel City Interactive is stepping in to fill the void with a title called Undisputed. I've been following it since it was called eSports Boxing Club and was doubting it would ever make it to Early access. But, as of yesterday it has and, while it's not without its flaws, I rather enjoy it so far. Here's my first match, which the game sets up for you after you complete the tutorial.
Mechanics-wise it feels a like like playing Fight Night Champion, so it was pretty easy for me to get on my feet. Normally I'm not this aggressive a fighter but since it was just a 3-rounder, I couldn't do my usual tactic of giving away a round or two to let the other guy tire himself out.
So far there's no career mode, though it's planned for later, as well as some kind of boxer editor. There's an online function already but it seems to be rather unstable. The AI's ability to counterpunch is a bit...much but it can be overcome with some strategy and picking your spots. I've yet to score a knockdown (outside of training) but I do like that the game makes you work for it.
Pretty damn good animation on the body-ripples when you hit someone with a hook to the body. That should delight the needlessly large number of you who find getting punched by meatheads the height of eroticism.
Anyway, I'm having good fun with it and I hope it makes it to 1.0, it's pretty exciting to have a Fight Night replacement in the current-gen.

Young People: Learn how to talk
Posted 2 years agoI can't be the only one keeping the textbook discussion going in class because none of you learned how to form whole thoughts without emojis. What the fuck are you so fucking afraid will fucking happen if you just fucking say motherfucking words?
I'm just so god damn tired of the "I just don't know what to say" generation, no wonder the Nazis are steamrolling your asses.
I should call my school tomorrow and tell them to compensate me financially because at this point I'm teaching the god damn class.
Jesus, we can't ALL have crippling anxiety, somebody has to function if society is to survive, and I really don't think it should be me - you've seen me!
