What a Lovely Stump
Added 2020-01-16 04:55:51 +0000 UTCI don't have an anecdote to this. Cake was musing about style choices for Cassie's stump on twitter, and I felt compelled to make a visual argument for a detailed version.
Wow, apparently this is one of my most divisive drawings to date (Apparently for a lot of reasons). I'm going to tag it with gore just in case; some folks on various platforms have already stated it counts as such for them.

It's close enough to gross people out. Which is totally fine, I just didn't expect it.

2020-01-16 22:38:48 +0000 UTCYes, famous for her small head.. when it's the dog :B

2020-01-16 21:24:08 +0000 UTCYeah I made her head too big and its throwing the whole thing off.

2020-01-16 21:15:36 +0000 UTCYeah honestly I am starting to feel like I took a bullet to measure reactions people would have to it. And that's fine: he wanted to know opinions on the design and mission accomplished in that sense.

2020-01-16 21:15:20 +0000 UTCI mean at least you didn't draw blood spurting out of it :B I assumed that as it was magic and there was a metal band holding things in place that the metal covered both ends and acted as a magnet so you wouldn't see the inside bits =p Also Sir I do believe you drew her too small, unspeakable I know for you but she's quite the titan nowadays and hard to keep up with XD

2020-01-16 19:52:06 +0000 UTCI think on most characters it wouldn't be that weird, it's just that Cassie is SO CUTE and innocent (as far as fetish content can be) that anything suggestive of certain unpleasant themes just seems really out of place and thus kind of disturbing. That's great if you're trying to provoke that kind of reaction, but I don't think that's really Cake's intention and it certainly doesn't seem like what Cake's audience wants or is accustomed to. At the end of the day, though, what's important is what Cake wants.

2020-01-16 17:55:46 +0000 UTCI don't get why people would have a problem with the stump? It looks like a streak from a cartoon? Heck, there isn't even a hole on it.

2020-01-16 17:39:37 +0000 UTCI mean. I get why people are being put off by the stump. I just think its visually interesting this way personally.

2020-01-16 05:30:50 +0000 UTCA very compelling argument. I think it looks much more interesting this way.

2020-01-16 05:13:01 +0000 UTCInteresting! I kind of don't register the cartoon meat thing as guro personally but that line might be all over the place for different people.

2020-01-16 05:11:43 +0000 UTCYou do a very good Cassie. And dang I know its his character but the stump just weirds me out too much.

2020-01-16 05:03:28 +0000 UTCThe art is really nice in this, as a concept I feel it gets kind of close to guro.
