*Chuckles* To me it looks like RU suddenly realized, "Wait, you are not food."

only draw your oc in situations you're comfortable with! uvu
everyone will understand! <3

^ this

there's plenty of vore elsewhere on fa anyway lol - I have to use a dozen exclude tags to avoid it

Think he'd look cute with a pudgy tummy, but I understand people's boundaries to fetish stuff

could be done because of waffles

This is as far as it needs to go to be hot, imo.

That tongue love

For the record I'm not into vore so delete that screenshot you just took of my last comment

I don't think people should ever be under obligation to draw their characters with/in something that they wouldn't feel comfortable with as the character's creator.

That said, this is actually adorable, and more looked to me like RU went to a pal to see about something stuck in the chompers!

If your not comfatable drawing RU in these situations then I'm sure people would understand if the don't then they don't respect your desicions

BTW this is a cute pic nothing to vore about it RU I think has just realised he doesn't want to eat the cute raccoon

I like vore but I'm not into it if you know what I mean

Cryptor should've been on a coat... he looks like he's checking RU's teeth >u<

I might be mistaken, but I do feel like I say a vore pic in your gallery; that might've been a similar artist... it was a while ago so my memory could be tricking me.
But perhaps you'll have to make Ru's edgy cousin that does all those... less charming things. haha

This?

Its not vore, he's checking his teeth for cavities!

i thought the same when i saw it first. :D

"Hey... have I got inflamed tonsils? I think I caught a cold" :C
"Uhhh.. yeah, you do. Oh wait.. Now I'm gonna get sick too!"

I don't enjoy vore personally, and its interesting to me to see someone say "this far and no further" considering how every time I do a search for literally anything I have to add "-vore" to it. I really enjoy your art and I'm always happy to see an artist stick to their guns when it comes to something out of character for an OC.

Much love for RU

Huzzah :P more implied vore (Thought ru used to like it O.o... did ru have a change of mind o.o/?)

Everyone has different fetishes, and if this is as far as you can get with this, its perfectly fine.
I'm more surprised that you actually drew this kinda stuff. It was surprising to say the least.

I'm into vore myself but I prefer more to see the artist actually being comfortable with what its drawing... and I'm sure that most misfits here in fA think the same.

Those odd fetishes. :P

artists whom enjoy and are comfortable with vore do the best pictures...there are a few exceptions but aye...Ru seems far to innocent and sweet for it

Never, ever, do something you don't want.

Horrible advice. MOst people don't wanna do anything productive. Or healthy. Or wise, for that matter.

I think you're taking my advice too far. I didn't think I needed to specify "art-wise"...

It's horrible advice in any situation.

No it isn't. Are you just saying this because you want to see them draw vore?

PLEASE don't start doing vore! One of the reasons I appreciate your art as much as I do, is because there are no weird fetish pictures.

-crosses fingers- please just be a civil discussion, please don't be drama x.x...

Ru's drooling all over the place :D

I love vore. But please dont do stuff which you dont like..please..
Judt because someone or more were telling you to you dont need to. Just say no and over is the thing

And then peoples even FORCE you to...then block them..

I think it's awesome that you go to the edge of what you're willing to do. And just as awesome that this person is satisfied with that ^____^ You guys are pretty model people.

Hm, nicely drawn picture and I like to see ru drawn, always trying to understand how someone can draw so smooth curvy lines lines, mines always become jagged.

As the topic goes this otter not much into the vore aspect but more into the cute factor, silly situations and such.

Also if I have to add anything to this topic it would be I bet RU would vore waffles and not frends if Ru was hungry!

ps: Summer is ending, sad otter and need more cloths <.<, shopping time soon!

I thought the small one was inspecting your teeth like a dentist o.O
Did a nice drool though ^^

Don't understand vore at all x3 but ru's soo cute as alwayss :3

The only thing I can see Ru doing here is just slobbering on his little fuzzy friends face and leaving his head soaked in drool.
You've made this cute little one so...soul-full. The idea of something like that just feels wrong.

Though, cute piece as always

"And for my next death defying trick, I'll stick my head into the terrifying maw of this ferocious dragon." "Um, wait, what?" xD

A cute and silly scene nonetheless. Never been too crazy for vore but the implied stuff does have its moments.

Hmm not really sure why. Maybe it could be from him being a dragon that people think "vore" especially him being a rather cute dragon which there are some existing dragon characters that fit the bill of being small and known for eating lots of things (the dragons from the bubble bobble game come to mind). Eh, fetishes, they're weird, puzzling when trying to find the root cause, and kind of annoying at times. Just best not to try to decipher them, it just leads to headaches.

I know the root cause of fetishes but it's something hard to talk about that many would hate being mentioned and get in arguments over. I just say it's to do with the self pleasing mind.

Yeah, understandable. It's one of those touchy topics for some people. Been trying to figure it out for myself for awhile due to some of my own quirks which at times I've gradually come to terms with, but they have their times where they're just a major annoyance.

It is adorable! Just think of it as a extra slobbery kiss X3

I just imagine Ru's like "Is there something in my teeth?"

Really cute, it's ok if you don't want Ru in vore.

Dr. Cryptor checking your tonsils? XD

that cutie can swallow me anytime <3

It's like a lion act. :3

yea and there no way that little guy would fit through RU mouth, I'm sure the character doesn't have an anatomy like a snake. I guess want to vent somewhere about vore lol because is it not understood that if the character is in the stomach it would die?! Stomachs are cut off from oxygen so you would suffocate before the stomach acids even get to you. Something I guess I don't get when they have character look like is enjoying being inside the stomach. But RU still least looks cute other than the slobber lol and the raccoon also well created :)

I'm pretty sure we all understand that vore is, in-truth, not a pleasant experience for the "prey".
Those of us who have it as a fetish though, like to just ignore this fact in favor of just having fun with one individual being inside another like that. Though make no mistake, there are other people who just like the cruelty of someone getting eaten. And others who fully acknowledge (and show) just how painful death-by-vore actually is.
I'm a pretty big fan of vore (as you can tell from my screen name here, obviously) but I have no illusions about the fact that vore is not nice. Not when it's played 100% realistically.

But as I said in my own post, this picture still is pretty cute. I do like it. :)

Thank you for the explaining and out of our control many animals in wild just eat prey that way too. Very cruel but just efficient way for them to save energy then first trying to kill the prey if they don't need to.

ANd just on a side-note: I think my interest in vore developed from seeing and working with so much of it over time.
Kirby and Yoshi of Nintendo-fame both have gameplay that revolves around it. The Mario & Luigi series of games have had it (first game: final battle is inside Bowser, 2nd: the Yoob, 'nuff said, and Bowser's Inside Story speaks for itself).
It shows up in both the Men In Black movies.
I could go on and on with dozens of pieces of media that are not rated R (or M in the case of games) that feature full, unmistakable vore.

Yeah, I've seen so much of it, I guess I've gotten used to it and developed a liking for it. I am a little shy about admitting it to just anyone, since I'm aware it's not as exactly the most... tasteful interest to have (pardon the pun).

Just to say I understand, but problem I have isn't if it's tasteful interest or if it any of my opinion being right or wrong to create. It's if it causes "me" to not glorify God. To make it clear with this I have to mention that I want to follow Jesus.

So a scripture comes to mind with this stating, "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O lord, my rock and my redeemer." Psalms 19:14 NLT

there is also this may make more clear also for more clarity is good to read the entire chapter because easy to take something out of context when only reading a small part.
"Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love, and peace. Enjoy the companionship of those who call on the Lord with pure hearts." 2 Timothy 2:22 NLT

Jesus explained it very simplified to the Pharisees when they asking what is most important commandment. 37. Jesus replied, “‘You must love the lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38. This is the first and greatest commandment. 39A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40. The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” Matthew 22:37-40 NLT

I hope this brings any clarity to any of these fetishes just trying best to state facts and not trying to just say my opinion or what not it's what God explains through His word.

Have to admit, I wasn't quite expecting this explanation from you.
However, I quite understand, having my own beliefs (I'm a Latter-Day Saint, AKA LDS; known to some as Mormon).
And I have to say: that's an admirable quality you have right there.

I will say this much: I didn't choose this interest in vore for myself. Not really. It kinda developed on its own from exposure.
Honestly, the issues you're talking about are issues I'm also trying to work on for myself.
I'll avoid preaching or anything like that, but I will say that I do agree with you about what you've said.

Anyhow, I doubt everyone here wants a big religious discussion so, I'll respectfully try to end this line of conversation right here.

I worried even posting that reply lol but I agree, no need to continue when I'm sure like you said they wouldn't want to hear us preaching. Nice with your reply as well :) was concerned I just look like I'm attacking people but I try to be as nice as possible and not look like I'm forcing religion or anything on people just trying to make true clear good points and it's anyone decision if they want to accept it. So I end as well was interesting if anything :)

It is still cute seeing the little guy looking in RU's mouth at any rate, even if he's never gonna go inside.

So you're not fond of RU being in vore. That's a bit of a shame but I'll keep that in mind.

To me it's more like the racoon is checking RU's throat.

Never feel you have to compromise your own principles to accommodate others. You do your artwork as you see fit. Your artwork is fantastic so stay true to yourself

I am still so very grateful you went this far and turned it into another fantastic image~ Thank you very much for the wonderful piece, Ru. Always awesome!

As the others above said, please don't push yourself beyond what you are comfortable with.
Nobody would want you to be uncomfortable with what you put yourself or your own characters through.

Yeah, to quote cousin Royce, ``Raccoons are not for eating! Raccoons are for eating!''

Anyway, it's an adorable picture and I'm glad it's drawn. Sometimes it's fun or instructive to try something a little outside your comfort zone, but there is no obligation to do so. There is absolutely no need to draw vore, or more-nearly-vore, art if you don't feel like it.

I'm into vore and...

I have to agree. WTH is happening here? xD

RU really doesn't make me think of vore at all, and I'm not sure why anyone would want to try to shoehorn him into the role.

Good on you for at least testing your boundaries a little, I guess.

Looking for his car keys.

I'm still suprised you;ve been able to keep Ru as PG as he's been. I actually really admire that.

dont let people make ru into a sex pun or anything like that.......vore is just wierd to me kinda just took me out of ru all togeather and i love the lil guy just being cute instead of vorey...

Bite his freaking head off!

I don't like vore, but I LOVE the mouth with saliva. I don't know... A rare fetish of mine.

I understand what you mean Ru i have a few sonas and they all have err... differant levels of kinkyness.
My Jellon is my most kinky i could have him commissioned in anything.
MY Fennec who is my true sona would only be in slight things. some nudity maybe some cute cuddling and sexxy things.
My Stardragon ii the strictest one no sexy things at all for him at the moment.

Awh I love vore of course, but I really hope no one ever pressures you overly much to go outside your comfort zone. <3 Everything you draw is already so lovely, and I like to see your characters being true to themselves and how you intend them to be! ^-^

characters can be personal! Never draw anything that doesn't feel fun and right to you.

I understand if you don't want to, maybe people just think RU would make it cute, but like they are saying do what makes you comfortable, RU is cute already

Stick to what you're comfortable with creating, you aren't obligated to make these, but I will say that this is a pretty cute picture either way, just stick to what you would be comfortable with making please!

It's so cute and very beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!
