Fruitanari Punch - Juice Eruption Label Art
🕑 Added 2024-04-30 19:15:57 +0000 UTCIt finally happened. Two years later, and I'm getting around to cleaning up the directories for all these Fruitanari Punch images. If you're a Kickstarter backer, this might be old news to you, but for everyone else, this is my first time posting any of this stuff.
To be honest, I'm not exactly sure what's out there featuring our fruitanari girl, Kajitsu. That's just how it goes when you're working with other people on a collaborative project. I only recently found out via a YouTube video a fan posted that there was a mini-artbook produced. I wonder what's in there? Hopefully some good stuff.
Oh! I had to play coy about it at the time, but I think all can be revealed: It's not just a suggestion or symbolism (well, it is in this particular image). No, no, no. If it was even a question, let the truth be known: Kajitsu has a dick. All fruitanari do. Duh brah.
So, a bit more about the project.
This was supposed to happen back in 2015. A friendly local porn entrepreneur and funder of the arts (mine), reached out to kick off this follow-up project to our prior reworking of the Tentacle Grape soda brand.
[The designs from 2015. Though I ended up making a dozen other potential designs in 2022 for our headline fruitanari character, the girl in the center of this pic, probably the first design I drew for the project, was the right one all along.]
I got to work designing a group of potential characters, and started figuring out the colors and feel for the overall look. (See above.) I delivered some sketches, we had talks, and then the project stalled. Business stuff. Capital or production issues. And nothing more was said about it for five or six years.
Then around 2021 (I think), Mr. Entrepreneur reached out again to restart things. This time however, I was the one who wasn't available. Between Covid related life-issues and my parents failing health, I had no time for anything. Loyal readers will already recall that I made basically no art from April 2020 till about January 2023.
The Fruitanari Punch art was the one exception to all of this. I jumped onto the project at the start of 2022. I'd just finished dealing with the bulk of my mom's affairs, and started back to work with this project. I had about two solid months work and then my dad kicked it. Fun times. :(
After I delivered the final project files in April, it was back to dealing with the fallout that comes with a parent's passing. Cleaning up the files and posting art would have to wait for another year... or two, in this case.
But now, that's history and we're moving on. Time to get these pics posted already. :)

Yeah, send a couple photos my way. Is it just my pics, or do they have stuff from the other artist who contributed to the project? Anyway, thanks!

Hey its the gal that got me to be a patron here just to see some more of her. 100% love the design. I also have the art book. I can take some photos if you want to see what's in it.

Ah yeah, she was a fun design, great that she got voted to be the label.
