Fortnightly Update 54: (Ideas Please) Sneaking Another Collab
🕑 Added 2022-11-26 13:00:15 +0000 UTCHey everyone! This time we've got a request for festive poll ideas, two art wips (one being a sneaky collab) and a thoughtful Life Update that's probably TMI.
Art Stuff
So, we got December coming up in no time at all, and i'm thinking i'll open the poll up a couple days before the month turns. Currently i've got two ideas (one suggested by Griff) and i'm eager for more:
- Wooly Jumpaca (F -> Anthro Alpaca. Triggered by christmas jumper. Butt Expansion, mild WG)
- Snow Patrol (M -> Anthro Polarbear, via trek through snow to arrive at work)
Please suggest something wintery / christmassy if you'd like!
In terms of currently active art projects, i've gotten around to working on that Milf Burr commission:
That's gonna have an alt for the last panel in a different outfit, hence i'm drawing some of the lines beneath the clothing.
So, that sneaky collab - i reached out to Volkenfox (an artist whose chonky ladies i've envied for a long time) and asked them if I could take one of their sketches and line/colour it. They said yes and here's where i'm at:
It's Teva, their swamp druid OC who caught my eye with her size (and the suggestion that her intoxicating aura might have transformative effects) So far i'm really happy with how i've translated the lines - i'm hoping my softer shading won't clash with Volkenfox's high fidelity design.
In the background i'm working on a commission/gift for AtariPanther, but it's been on hold while i've been so busy. It's bloody ambitious and i'll hopefully share next time :)
Life Stuff
Being busy eh? For about a week or so this month I was bragging to people that I had five art projects and one story in progress simultaneously. I totally burnt out again - didn't get depressive, just very drained - but I shoulda seen it coming really. Here in the UK we're getting 8 hours of daylight (sunrise today was 7:45 and sunset 16:05) and it's really feeling kinda bleak around here :P
Below, a look outside my window this week (using my phone's 0.6x lens for a Macro shot)
For those who celebrate Thanksgiving, hopefully you had a good time either with loved ones, friends or by enjoying yourself. This feels like a great time to say thank you for supporting my art and reading this far! (and if you did, for voting Yes to more fortnightly blogs ;p) I hope i'll continue to earn that support, and please do raise feedback if you think I could be doing better!
The biggest thing on my mind other than art (and my job) is the guy I like, it's just under four months till I get to visit America and see him again and it's a real struggle. I find myself thinking about emigration for either me or him and then shooting myself down because it's so monumental and frankly silly. I'm very thankful for him though, and it's been great for my art motivation (including my foray into TF Stories). Expect more cutesy art here and there :)
But yeah, that's the end of another Update! I'll probably post something to celebrate two years of the patreon in a couple days, and the monthly poll won't be far behind - have a lovely weekend :)

I’m glad to hear you’ll be indulging yourself! Wishing you the best. As for Mesma and willow, that sounds absolutely adorable actually! And definitely a fun scenario to put them in! Also didn’t see I accidentally somehow sent two blank replies… sorry about that!

I'm glad you're liking the WIPs and thanks for the kind words, I'll be looking after myself and probably drawing cutesy self indulgent stuff a fair bit ;) As for some generic christmas shenanigans... we could totally have a couple TF during gift giving! If it were Mesma and Willow we could have the former becoming a Partridge because of christmas songs and the latter just being a chubby werewolf (but she's trying on a Choker as a gift). Dialogue being kinda flirty (Willow: "you're looking pretty tasty right now" or something)

Only ideas i have for the poll are probably pretty generic ones, like, maybe someone becoming a milf reindeer or something through some christmas shenanigans. Or maybea cutesy couple tf on the couch based on gifts given to each other, maybe a sweater turning one into a partridge or turtle dove. :P Adore the wips! Really love how soft the bear is, and the coloring on Volkenfox's oc is fantastic. You really managed to somehow blend everything in a way that really looks like volkenfox did it, and somehow, still feels you. And really sorry to hear about life stuff. Hoping winter depression doesn't set in for you. Hopefully that excitement for traveling keeps it from happening, and you have a lovely time visiting and being with him again soon!

Sure, that's fine

I like the cookies and milk idea - would you be alright if it was someone sneaking milk and cookies that were *meant* for Santa and getting cursed for being Naughty?

Here are a couple of TF ideas: 1) A man turns into a Female Anthro-Chicken after drinking Eggnog. 2) Santa turns into a Female Anthro-Cow after drinking spiked Milk with his Cookies.
