Health & July Update
Added 2021-07-31 13:42:17 +0000 UTCReally a terrible month, the worst in a long time.
Late last month and alittle into July, I had a tootache. It was incredibly hard to think of let alone do any work with the pain coming and going intermittently. It did get quit being a problem early on but that's when another issue arose.
My vision was getting incredibly blur as well as my eyes becoming increasingly sensitive to light. This has happened before with my allergies, so I started using my normal eye drops to alleviate the issue. This time, however, it wasn't working from the get go. I figured it might've needed a few days to become effective, since I lapsed in my allergy medication regimen. Really, I figured I was incorrect in believing I was out of the peak season for allergies.
The sensitivity prevented me from looking at my monitors, even with the dimmest brightness setting. When I finally seeked help, the pain began shooting to the back of my skull. I was very much worried, and so was my eye doctor. They ended up referring me to a cornea specialist within 24 hours to get looked at. They were sure it had nothing to do with allergies.
I was incredibly worried that I was potentially loosing my eyesight, but the cornea specialist was able to alleviate those worries as well as put me on drops that have returned most of my normal vision in the span of a week.
Suffice to say this has led to the lack of art for this month.
I apologize for that. I will have to do what I did for the month of April and create a folder on my dropbox for each of you to keep. The idea is if you wish to leave because of my absence, that's alright, but please keep the link so you can see art I would've made for April populate within it.
Keep this link!!! All art I had planned forJuly will be posted in here! https://www.dropbox.com/sh/fftimye5h7ezmza/AACXLO-tt_51Lri3yclHxXUBa?dl=0
Being unable to really work this month, I did have alot of time thinking up ideas that have me excited.
Really alot of the ideas are thinking up the future of my OCs in all their separate doings, but also story ideas.
If anything I can share a few of those story ideas.
Story Idea 1: An individual working as a News TV anchor becomes worried about losing their appeal on screen so begins to take some rather illicit beauty pills. This causes bust growth, much to her excitement and enjoyment. She gets to a size she feels gives back her edge on tv, so she stops taking the beauty pills. However, her body suffers some withdrawals that cause issues for her on and off air. She realizes this quickly and has the dilemma of pushing through the withdrawals in hopes it'll eventually cease. It doesn't, so she returns to the beauty pills where she now experiences growth she otherwise wouldn't have done.
Really enjoyed this and fit nicely into some of the old posts I did for the electricmedicallife tumblr (who remembers that lol).
Story idea 2: An individual wakes into a fantasy world, but as they're coming to they have to roll their stats. Aside from being painfully average in most regards, they roll high dexterity as well as charisma stats. This excites them for having something being out of the ordinary compared to it all. When waking in the world, they finally get to meet their new body, and they see an incredibly busty woman.
For this concept, I'm taking inspiration from other artists who have created characters that are not just usable in roleplaying table top games, but also where they use the rules of those games to dictate how a character would respond/react to situations. I would love to have a side panel that shows their skill check rolls to try and make sense of their actions and choices. Really I think it's hilarious to have charisma checks just end up so mediocre where they're passed because "I have boobs."
Possibly the biggest difficulty would be that I don't play roleplaying games as much as I would like to. I'd love to get friends to play a game with me where I use this character to try and develop more ideas for them.
Story Idea 3 - 6: Hey let's just start doing backstories on OCs. Honestly not even sure what I'm waiting for. The characters I have in mind are:
Renee: Well, she wasn't always immensely busty. She was well past puberty in college before she had her second growth. She was even a Tennis star in college. How did her changing body affect that? She has a degree, when and how did she make the decision to just work a bar? She's not so sexually active now (except a few times), but what about in college?
Vanessa: She really loves changing her body to get herself to produce more milk, but where did this fetish develop for her? When did she start inducing lactation in herself? She's pregnant now, but ever since her introduction she's been lactating.
Busty Boy: I know this character might not be everyone's cup of tea, but I do enjoy writing for concepts that are complex. Their curvy attributes were not so much a choice as was a result of their normal hormone development. I'd like to explore their own coming to into acceptance as well as some ideas on gender. Honestly this story is something I would like to write about, but I'm also incredibly socially anxious. I don't like stepping on toes and worry that writing something like this would cause some to stop supporting or stop enjoying the work I make. I don't even know if I'd call this a vent piece or just something to say, "be yourself," and "enjoy things that you find enjoying."
Well those are a bit of my ideas. I have alot more stuff I've jotted down, but alot of it isn't nearly as baked in the oven as these.
Some themes I would really like to do more of are,
Muscle girls
Bimbofication
More udder stuff (alot of you seemed to like the current story with that)
More non-implant related growth (I've been on an implant kick for awhile and worry I may have lost an ability to create non-implant stories lol)
So, this month has hit me hard with finances as well. I'm still job searching, but because of my health issues I couldn't work to grow my patreon this month nor develop art to retain. I'm incredibly sorry and thank you if you choose to continue to support my work. Worse is the new medical bills I've developed this month over this. I carry my own vision insurance, because it's affordable, but haven't had my own health insurance since losing my job. Unfortunately the cornea specialist doesn't take vision insurance, but only health insurance. No idea how that even makes sense, but the visit and medication was steep.
$10/$40 tier peeps; please send me your ideas. Refer to the last request post for rules. You should feel free to send me July's idea anytime between now and the 15th of next month. Your posts will be included in the link for July made art. so if you choose to cease support, you will still get access if you save that link.
Thank you all for any understanding and the support you've given my work. I'm hoping for a better August!

Really glad to see that your vision is returning. Hopefully all the work that you have put into finding a job will pay off soon. It's rough out there but we are all supporting you - keep your chin up. My request: After talking with Samantha, Winnie imagines what she would look like if her breasts grew significantly larger (like 2-3x, but everything else the same size. This could be the non-implant related growth that you were talking about) She imagines she'd bump into a lot things because her breasts would rest so high on her belly, so they would obscure her vision, she'd have to get all new (sexy) bras and tops, and she'd keep getting stuck in doorways and other structures. But on the plus side, she would make a lot of money selling her milk and she would feel super sexy and feminine with elephantine boobs, a big sexy belly, and a gigantic butt. (Both naked and clothed if possible)

Hopefully this month will be a much better month for you. Also all of those stories sounded great and the idea of more muscle gals in your work sounds awesome.

2021-07-31 19:03:02 +0000 UTCI'm glad you didn't loose your vision, that would have been terrible, especially for an artist. I hope you'll be feeling better soon. I love the 2 story ideas, though they remind me a bit of another artist, but I'd like to see your take.😄 As far as implants go, I don't mind, I love the shape.😄 But huge naturals are fine too. The girl from "The Cow" was "natural" right? Speaking of "The Cow", for my request, I would like to see what the girl would look like if she took even more enhancers, in the hope her nipples would pop out.
