Her cute helpless wriggling form is more valuable than any amount of ransom one could shake out of her. ;3

I am not going to argue with that assessment... X3
_{I do need more stuff like this that's just raw cuteness rather than being explicit about everything aaa}

She WOULD look nice taking a loooong cool dip in the lake tho (preferably fully clothed; can't go wrong with a pleated miniskirt and black tights. ;3)

lmao
It has been a while since I dunked Jerry... and she does already wear a skirt as part of her regular outfit... cx
_{Something for later, perhaps, once I'm finished my current 17-part project haha}

OooOoooh!~ Will she be wearing a top this time? And maybe some nice tights? (In case it wasn't obvious, I REALLY like tights. :P)

lol Unfortunately her being clothed was not part of the design phase this time around, as it's a remake of something from ten years ago. XD
But the more I think about it, the more I want to see something more like that, so... we'll have to wait and see how I feel in the long run, but it's probably on its way. ;P

Well you could try something simple like a sports bikini. That shouldn't be too hard, right? :P

In fact, there's an alt of the 10-year anniversary piece I posted already that does exactly that. cx
_{Not really sure why I felt compelled to make that alt, but it does exist hah}
Sometimes I question why I add to my workload like that, seeing as I only ever post one version of any given piece (with the odd exception like this one here, which I posted two versions of) but I dunno, it's really not that much extra work... usually. X3

Oh? Where is this alt? Is it posted to your FA gallery?

No, that's the thing, it only exists on my PC haha
For one reason or another, I make a lot of alts these days, and just... never upload them lol so nobody ever really gets to see them
_{I used to share stuff with people on Discord, but nobody really engages with me there anymore... besides my mother, so y'know}

Well why not upload them to your scraps gallery here then? Or to Weasyl?

Honestly I just don't really like uploading multiple versions of the same picture... especially, for instance, that picture I drew of Zoey just posing cutely, which has a grand total of 18 versions due to her varying state of undress lmao
And... I've yet to actually establish myself anywhere else besides Steam, which I don't use for art and then there's also DA, but we don't talk about that place here so... it's either FA or bust... cx
_{Granted, I have been considering maybe moving someplace else, considering some of the utter nonsense that has gone down here on FA, but we'll see}

I used to be reluctant to post alts too, but I saw others doing it and people (including myself) quite enjoying it so I decided "Why not"? Granted I don't usually go out of my way to make alts, it typically only happens when I have more than one idea in my head for a specific detail (colour of tights, type of gag, shoes or no shows, etc) and I can't decide which is my favourite so I just post them all, or at least some.

And I and many artists have found that it's a good idea in general to have at LEAST one alternative art site to post stuff to just in case something happens to your primary site. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" and all that. I also just like Weasyl's user interface slightly more; it's simpler and more streamlined. And it allows for much larger file size uploads (50 megabytes per pic instead of 10,) which is great for animated GIFs and mini comics (not that I do a TON on those.)

I mean, fair point, but I just feel like it's kinda silly to have multiple pictures that are basically the same... which is part of why it bugs me just how much water peril I've done that's just that. (Granted, that is at least something that has grown over time, so there's at least artistic progress being made, but still)
I do make exceptions here and there, but not often.

Also yeah, perfectly reasonable. idk if I'll actually get around to it--and Weasyl probably wouldn't be my first choice--but it remains an item on the list of considerations, especially given my misgivings about the current FA staff and moderation team.

I mean, if you already have the alts on your computer and people would like to see them, why not post them? If you want your main gallery to look tidy that's what the scraps folder is for after all.
