Beginning of the Year 2024 Update
Added 2024-01-07 03:00:30 +0000 UTCYou know it's insanely funny that I haven't done an update like this for a while, god it feels like a year has gone by!
:o)
I didn't want to start it off that way but I might as well let you guys know just how relaxed and warm this update is meant to be. I guess it's more of a "State of the Yummy" type situation because I want to outline what 2024 is going to look like, not just January.
The Real Intro
So first I want to list what I've been thinking I want to accomplish for 2024 and what my artistic goals are but before that I want to outline some personal concerns. I've not been burning out but I have been overworking myself because I just want to make and make. It's not because I have to, it's because I have so many ideas that I want to get to. Thankfully I do take these projects one at a time but it does take a bit to truly juggle a couple of tasks. My mental well being is stable but my worth ethic is taking a toll on my health. I promise to manage this better and actually get out there and relax. Yesterday was my first break since my birthday which is almost a two weeks difference. I do have a problem but art is truly a joy of mine, it's just a lot of work. It also doesn't help that my actual well paying job has me able to work every day and I do take the opportunity to do so. I want to work on building in breaks for that job, or at the very least increase the amount I get paid on here to allow me to feel less stressed monetarily. Sorry for the health paragraph but I know you guys actually do care about me as a person enough to want to know about this.
Okay now for the undetailed list. I'll detail what everything is going to mean after it so expect this to be a long update.
- Mochi Moshi will have it's script done
- Mochi Moshi's UI/UX will be worked on
- Mochi Moshi's "Stages" will be sketched out
- There's more Mochi Moshi stuff but that'll be detailed more in the next 7 dollar update
- More OC drawings
- New/Redone version of a very old OC that's never been on this account in any form
- Revamping Hayasa (Furry bunny anthro sporty girl)
- More Sexual Drawings (Not just sex, but sexual in nature like that Yumian was)
- More Nudity
- More Expressive Pieces
- Isometric Pixel Art version of the Mall where all the OCs hang out
- Viri RPGMaker Horror Game start
- More interaction of my OCs with my audience
- Discord Server (Probably Paid Access For Now)
- Commissions
Mochi Moshi
So as you guys know, at least those of you who pay or have seen my Weight Gaming forum thread, Moshi Moshi is almost completely done being written as a script. The date of the script's draft being completed is tentative but supporters of the project know more of the actual timeframe. What's next for the project is going to be actual meat and building what the game is going to look like. Through the current development of the game my co-writer (Sweaty Neet) and I have been discussing what the game should look like. My most important thing is that we nail the idea of the game looking like, and feeling like, a toy. I labeled the game as a "Toy" when I first described it, but mainly what that means is I want you to look at the game and enjoy what you see at every level. I don't want you to open the game and go "this is a visual novel made in ren'py" but "this is a fun fake mobile phone OS that use to talk to Kazumi." I'll also be sketching her final design for the vn and what each "growth stage" looks like while taking feed back from paid supporters. If you do not fund the project at the 7 dollar tier, I recommend starting to do so within the next few months as there will be more interaction than ever between project supporters and the project. Currently it's been Dev Logs, but I do want to hear back from you guys soon.
The OC
I never watched that show but it's funny to title this section like that. I love my characters and it's very clear to me that you guys actually love them too. From the feedback I received from characters like Ashley and the ever-beloved Evelyn, to the newer characters like Appraisal and Viri, I know that no matter what I create there's an audience amongst my fans that will enjoy them. I hope that, even if I make a drawing of a character you don't like that you find solace in the fact that I will try to give love to all of my characters equally. From Persephone to Faeona, I know who hasn't been touched recently. Also I forgot to note this but yes, Swivelle will get a revamp this year too if there's time.
"Madeline," or at least that's what her name was originally, is an Angel Bitch oc that I plan to redesign for my art. Originally she was the foil to Ilyth, a character who I haven't drawn since gaining the Yummy Goods moniker, but I figured I want her to come back and just be the complete foil for Evelyn and Ilyth, as they're twins. Similar to how Yumian is the antithesis to Ashley, "Madeline" is the antithesis of Ilyth/Evelyn. A girl who was designed as a "Health Goth," a subsection of prep culture that falsely referred to themselves as goth and donned nothing but black adidas, she was a pure expression of malice towards the mindset of subculture appropriation through ill-informed means. Very deep as a concept I know, but I want to semi get away with that without completely backing away from what I want in a bitch angel. She'll lose her pony tails, as Kazumi already has those, and she'll probably be blonde. I know almost every "new" oc I've made as of late has been blonde but you can stomach one more right? Kazumi, Faeona, Yumian('s bleached hair) and Krystal can be blonde it's fine. For example Persephone, Ashley, Evelyn, Viri, Appraisal, Tura, Catalym, Hayasa and Omi do not have blonde hair so whatever! We call that yin and yang.
Tangent aside, I have been thinking about having this character also express some slant fetish ideas that I haven't dared touch with my other characters. I know a lot of people get pissed off at specific fetishes even being thrown or mentioned in their face but if I have to see vore, farting and burping on the timeline being associated with WG, you can stomach the idea that I will be heavily labeling and hiding and sending out warnings that yes, this is the one diaper picture I'm experimenting with. I really hope and appreciate you understanding that this is just something I want to do as an outlet for fun and it'll have an alternate where the image itself does not include that sort of content, completely separate so you do not even have to interact with it. If people really get pissed off I can also lock it away in another tier of subscription all together. In fact I'll make it a question:
If I were to make a single diaper image, how would you want it to be labeled? (Answer using the poll below)
Oh yeah Hayasa, she's a bunny furry girl who I use for doodles and wind down practices. It's been a while since I drew her but I've been meaning to edit her so I can make her more unique and more where I am now.
Content in Art: Expression
I already touched this above with the question I posed before but in general I want to do more pieces of art that express who I am as a person and get my emotions out more through art. With the Omi drawing I did back in January 2023, her radical change in personality was something I wanted to reflect from me having a sort of mental break as well. Omi as a character has been permanently changed into her youkai self with a more violent expression and control over the world around her, which is something I vibe more with than a character who is just in her own world only expressing herself through music. I think this sort of change in characterization reflects what I want to do with all of my characters as a whole. As I grow, they change and reflect more human intentions and expressions of myself as a whole. If this isn't obvious enough, each of my OCs represent a part of me in general.
Evelyn and Ashley are my personal relationship with how I feel sexually and my comfort to be who I am. Rather than reflect the concept of a healthy romantic relationship, they reflect my self love and ego. Appraisal was a character I created being self conscious about my body, while Ashley was a reflection of me being proud of how I am. Appraisal's unapologetic happiness for everything around her and curiosity reflects innocence in a general sense, but as well as my personal drive to be happy with no matter what life has thrown at me. Yumian is a deconstruction of my own sexual desires and pleasures as well as indulgence. He's gross, he's unhygienic, and his motivations are driven purely by the will of another person because that's what he wants. Dominated the way he's finally felt peace and falls into a routine of indulgences, Yumian represents my own personal vices as a whole as well as depicting more of things I am self conscious of at an even less abstract level. Catalym is very obviously an anger outlet, and more of her will be shown soon. Faeona is another anger outlet but in a way where I personally tend to be bitchy and tell off things in a blunt ass matter.
Now while all of these have inspirations of who I am, that's not to say that I'm as one track as these characters are, or they're as one track as I'm making them out to be. I'm just saying that the emotions and inspiration I feel from them stem from myself, and I figured you'd all be curious to know that. Am I a person who cums on my underwear and shows it to my girlfriend? No. Am I a person who is missing one of my molars? Yes. etc etc... I just want to make myself feel better and having people say "[X] is my favorite," makes me insanely happy as a person who puts a lot of myself into those characters.
Isometric Pixel Art
After learning just how fun and easy it is for me to translate my skills of this art form into pixel art, with some tutorials, I've decided to make it a longer time goal to design and actualize the Salem Outlets as a full image. This will help people actualize what the mall is like as well as help me figure out how the mall is built for future images. Where is eroə exactly, and stuff like that. It'll also help people feel like the world of my characters is more real, something I personally want.
Viri RPGMaker Horror Game
I don't want to go into too much detail but I will say this. I want to make a game explaining the Viros and Viri more. I want to make a Yume Nikki, Space Funeral, Off inspired game where you see how Viri became herself through the process it takes for a Viro to gain sentience. Don't know what a Viro is? It's a little virus creature that Viri currently uses as minions, but she is of that species. Ever wonder why her eye is a mouth? This game will answer that, or at least give you more questions. This project will probably not be worked on for a long time into 2024 and will not impede the progress of Mochi Moshi.
OC Character Question Form
I said this on twitter earlier today but I plan on making a google form where you can submit questions to any and all of my ocs, and they'll all be responded in universe the way they would respond canonically. That being said, the best question asked will become a fully drawn piece of mine for all to see. Questions like "What does your ass look like" will probably not be chosen as a full drawing, despite how often tumblr roleplay blogs love to answer those. Roleplay questions like "What would Viri do if she was placed into a big cake and had to eat her way out," would also not be answered because you're just submitting requests at that point and not playing to the spirit of what a fucking question is. I do like that people want to see my characters in specific situations but I want people to actually make proper questions and it'll be up to me to figure out how to make that into an image.
Discord Server
This will probably start as a paid, subscription only, thing. My current job has me handling a discord as part of community management meaning this is a service that I'm not only overly familiar with, I also personally have grown to hate how it handles as a whole and only want to use this as a service to make it nicer to hang out with people in my community at a casual level. I do not expect it to be a place where people talk everyday. If people want to do that that'd be fantastic, but I don't expect it because I just have to do my own things. Rules will be strict as well as to keep the ever growing weirdly bigotted rhetoric from popping up in a space meant to be heavily chill. Whatever whatever though none of that really matters, I expect you all to be super cool, especially if you're giving me cash in the first place. Oh they're will also probably be an 18+ check or idiot check at the gate to keep people from even being able to see what the hell is in the server, this part will NOT be automated. Look forward to this whenever I feel mentally ready for it.
Commissions
A google form for commissions will be posted on social media sites, as well as here, giving people a heads up that 3~4 half art full body slots will be open for commissions. The art quality and style will be that of the art you see for Patreon drawings and will be whatever you want that I'm already willing to create. A few rules off the bat:
- Commissions will be public, but you can be anonymous
- No blob, vore, immobile, farting, or burping with "clouds"
- There's other things I don't want to draw but my audience will probably not ask for that at all
- I will not accept "can you go bigger" as a form of sketch correction
- The commission will be finished within 6 days
- Full contact and support for the commission will be given over discord
- Payment up front starting at 180 dollars
- If the drawing is a Chibi instead, it'll be 100 dollars
- It is NOT first come first serve, but there will be a time frame for selection, so do not hesitate to submit it.
- I will "age up" characters, I don't give a shit who you ask for just don't ask for like Kanna or whatever will get people actually pissed off at me.
- You can ask for your OCs, fanart, or my ocs. But you need to get permission from others for their ocs.
- No real people ever.
Thank you
Jesus what a long update. Again I wanted to say this spans my thoughts going into 2024, I'll be planning a drawing of what Appraisal would look like topless after this so I wanted to get out some thoughts. I love being clear with you all and I appreciate that some of you take the time to actually read every single word I say. I will say if you scroll all the way down here without reading here's the question for the poll again:
If I were to make a single diaper image, how would you want it to be labeled? (Answer using the poll below)
Thank you so much, you guys made the start of this year incredible for me with all of the new users joining again. I really hope this momentum keeps up. I'm going to run the next Touhou poll in a couple of days where you dictate which Touhou girl will have a huge big fat ass! There's always more to say but I'll stop for now. Thank you again again <333 Lets make this year even better than the last.
Comments
Hey everyone, I know this was a out of left field question and I want to assure all of you that this is something that will probably not happen for a long time and when it does happen it'll be heavily hidden. I want to test the waters eventually and I wanted to know what the general vibe is. My main content will stay the same. I will always draw ass and fat characters. Please don't even worry about that. I don't want to heel turn and I never will heel turn. Thank you everyone for supporting me, I assure you to continue as if this question was never asked and I'll give everyone a heads up a month before I even do anything remotely like this.
