Happy September!! Not a lot of time to type, so I can fit in as much working as possible, but this month is so busy it's freaking gnarly !!! Expect bare minimum two NSFW art updates (one will be animation and the other will likely be Annie daki design sketches), two main story posts, and some more anthro movie stuff!
Behind the scenes also, the entire desktop version of the official website for the main story theratpy stuff + merch links is done and now me and my website helper (close friend and soon to be roommate who's also artsy and knows some graphic design!!) are working on making the mobile version functional as well before it goes up! I am optimistic it will be real by about the 27th as well, but no big deal if it doesn't get done til October.
Also in the works is a Theratpy Merch Dashery shop, which- upon launch- should have two mug designs, two-three shirt designs, and some pins and magnets available! This is unlikely to launch until late October, but I will share design ideas and such along the way wherever possible! This is exciting to me as the Dashery will be entirely family friendly, so I will begin to have merch that has a SFW home site! ^_^
As always, these times are approximations, I pack the month with a lot for one person to accomplish! And reminder that I won't be at my pc from the 9th to the 18th, I'm not bringing it on our apartment hunting trip, but I will try to have sketches during that time as of course I'll be bringing my sketchbook! Note I am getting assistance wherever possible currently to save time and still bring you guys consistent content, and so my partner wrote up my Monthly Lineup for me <3 :
[1st] 🚗💨 Drive to Mom’s! [4th] 💜🌶️ Ratticus Daki Designs - Sketches (regular design & pajamas, pushed from last month!) [7th] Drive back home 🚗💨 [8th] 💕💜 Theratpy: Main Story page 58 [8th] 😊 Theratpy: Main Story page 51 [8th] Tumblr - Theratpy: Main Story page 48 [8th - 18th] House hunting! 🏠🌠 [11th] 💜🌶️ Annie Daki designs - Sketches [16th] 💜🌶️ Secondary Physical Spicy Sketch [20th] 💕💜 Theratpy: Main Story page 59 [20th] 😊 Theratpy: Main Story page 52 [20th] Tumblr - Theratpy: Main Story page 49 [22nd] Dinner with the Milners background work!! [24th] Finishing Anthro movie Trailer assignments [26th] 💜🌶️ Overhead Animation update
I've been fiddling with Krita like nobody's business and can't get it to work 💀 I wanted to get these at least outlined in there before sharing because that helps work out sizing issues that I'm too lazy to fix in sketch, but it's being ridiculous when it didn't have any issues before when making Dr. Zo's! soo no clue currently on when these will be able to be inked and colored in a program, but I will keep you guys posted about it!!
Haven't heard back yet on when the Dr. Zo dakis are gonna be available, but my merch contractor was at Megaplex this pass weekend & is doing con runs selling at their Fenris Publishing & Fluff & Stuff booths so I'm sure I'll have info on it as soon as he gets a chance! 🙏
hsadbdsba Ratticus Daki designs are sketched out but my Krita program is acting up and I can't find a fix to start digitalizing them!! The brush calibration is off Only in the part where I draw, it works perfectly fine for the rest of the UI but then is farther and farther off to the right as I drag my pen from left to right soooooo,, Have been working on it for the last few days and easily done like 20 different troubleshooting suggestions and am waiting for a reply from help 😭 I'll send him as sketches probably on the road tomorrow as we're driving about 7 hours to see Ben's family one last time before we move much farther off, I'll have some time to draw when it's baby's turn to drive!
BUT, in times of redownloading/exporting/waiting for info to work on stuff. I've been putting together an official website !!!! Hence the link above to see a preview! It's a place to view Theratpy both as videos and as pages (with my little notes & with script!), to see all available merch, and some other little fun stuff in one place!
Right now it doesn't have adult content or a way to view patreon content over it, and it won't for the forseeable future, as I don't know what I'm doing at all lol and ALSO don't have a budget for a professional designer (it's just me and an artsy close friend of mine), so I'm doing the best I know how !! Either way, hopefully this will go up by the end of September which I think will just be really nice and feel like a big milestone to have an official site! :,))
I keep getting bogged down in tiny details in this one and it's making work go slowww </3 Dr. Zo rubbing with his hand and moving his hips tho ,,,,, Doctorrrr <3
Hello to all Patrons, free and paid ! Happy August!!
There's now 5 things you can get that are Official Theratpy Merch, made by me and distributed through my merch contractor! Note that the websites, fluffandstuff.net and huffaromas.com are both ADULT SITES that contain adult artwork!! Reminder that my Patreon asks you if you are 18+ before becoming a member, so this is only being mentioned for your personal preference of whether or not you want to visit a site with adult content, and to make sure you don't open anything 👀 at work or somewhere you don't mean to. The sticker packs are SFW themselves (exploring the site is not though!), and the 3 perfumes/candles all have dressed/SFW options, however the NSFW options are what are present first in the perfume/candle listings, be warned! Without further ado-
Links to two different sticker packs: ✨ Maisy the Cat Sticker Sheet | Neural Niceties- Stim Toy Sticker Sheet ✨ Great for water bottles, laptops, and journals and VERY weather-proof/long-lasting! I've had some on my phone case for a OVER A YEAR and they still look really good!! Highest wear and tear/touch item I have, and the edges have hardly peeled even a little, and there'es absolutely no color lost/color fading. They're all still perfect on my water bottle, which have had them for just as long, and of course on my drawing tablet too but that doesn't get much wear and tear, so they're absolutely perfect there as well. A tiktok silent advert I made for them | A youtube silly I made to promote them :)
Links to the scent listings: ✨ Doctor Zo | Ratticus | Annie ✨ These three are new, be one of the first to get them!! Character sheets are attached above if you want some basic info about all three, as Annie isn't in the main story!
ALSO EXPECTED THIS MONTH is a Doctor Zo Dakimakura (aka Body Pillow!! design is done and turned in, I'm hoping for word on it sometime next business week!) and, HOPEFULLY this month as well, we'll finally have CDs available for purchase for the Scoop of Theratpy Album as well as album cover t-shirts!!!! Exciting business!!! I will keep you guys posted, paid patrons get more frequent updates but I will for sure make an announcement for my free friends too!!
Other than that, in case any of you missed it, the teaser for Session III is out on YouTube (linked here!) and it'll be out in October! Can't wait to bring you guys more merch and more animations! More soooon ^_^
These aren't out to be able to get YET, BUT I did get approval from my merch contractor to make them and I've sent them over! I'm awaiting information on how long they'll take to be up as options as well!
Hi hi! Here's the link to the previous Monthly Lineup, all activities linked so you can find things super easy in case you missed anything! So excited to have Perfumes all up and available, sometime this month a Dr. Zo Daki will be up for purchase as well!!
PLEASE ALSO NOTE I will be making a separate announcement about 'away' time coming up next month, but: September 9th-18th is when we are going up for apartment hunting in Chicago! I will not be taking my pc as I'm worried something would happen to it on the plane, so I won't be making work from about the 8th to the 19th (extra day at the start for packing, extra day at the end for resting after travel)! I am trying to ensure I still have about 2 posts made ahead of time and scheduled to auto-post during that time, I'll for sure keep you guys up to date on that, but wanted to make sure I mentioned it so you know what's up!
Here's this month's MLU and I hope you guys have had a happy start to your August!! As always, these times are approximations, as I pack the month with a lot for one person to accomplish! So expect a post or two to get pushed into the next month! :
[4th] Dinner with the Milners Part 1 Draft (please note I need to add another maybeeee 40ish seconds to it later on, but for now I'm segmenting part one to break it up for my bg artist better!!) [6th] SFW Perfume sticker designs! updated- AVAILABLE NOW FOR PURCHASE TOO <3 [8th] 💜🌶️ "Just an Outing" pg. 5 pushed from last month! [11th] 💕💜 Theratpy: Main Story page 56 [11th] 😊 Theratpy: Main Story page 49 [11th] Tumblr- Theratpy: Main Story page 46 [14th] 💜 Trailer clip for the Anthro Movie draft work! [17th] 💜🌶️ More Overheaddddd [21st] 💜🌶️ Ratticus Dakimakura designing voted on by Elites !! [23rd] Day off, won't be online much at all! [25th] 💕💜 Theratpy: Main Story page 57 [25th] 😊 Theratpy: Main Story page 50 [25th] Tumblr- Theratpy: Main Story page 47 [28th] 💜🌶️ Likely Something spice (has to be draft, not finished, to be shared on here) for Anthro movie, final bit of my trailer clip (trailer isn't set to come out til closer to November/December tho, so u guys know)! [29th-31st] Make-up days!
Annie's won't be out for all for another week, so u guys get first purchase!!
They come as Perfumes, Samplers (smaller versions of the perfumes), or Candles!! There's also a '2x musk' option, note that since there is no musk in the original blends, this means they will add some to it for your purchase .///. !! Whatever floats your boat, whatever suits your fancy, the theme is freshly showered but I'm not gonna yuck your yum ;P !
The sticker does not come attached to the product, you can put it wherever you'd like! Which also means, if you like the smell and want to gift it to someone without the sticker ,then I'd suggest ordering it to yourself, keeping the sticker, and rewrapping the candle or perfume on its own! ^_^
I'm asking to see if they would allow SFW designs as well as an option, so that those who want the scents can have them without an adult sticker coming with it, but I'll have to get back to you guys about that! FOR SURE drop a comment here or send me a dm if you'd buy one or more of these ONLY if there were SFW designs present, or if you would get a SFW design one in addition to the more adult designs! If there's no demand for it then I'd rather of course spend time on other work for you guys that you actually wanna be seeing! :)
Reminder to Devoteds, the click-in is NSFW and of course the preview here is suggestive! I'll be making a post with only links to SFW tiers sharing that they'd be clicking into adult content, and will make one with the images all three together for hot pepper tier and elites!!
ALL THREE ARE OUT NOW Making a post in just a moment with the images and links all in one spot!! If you're ever looking for merch now or in the future, note that I tag every post having to do with merch with the "merch" tag which can be searched up! LOOK AT HIM I LOVE ME A BIG BOY OOOOOO HOWDYYY
OKAY, now if you're someone who wants both Ratticus & Dr. Zo but not Annie, feel free to go ahead and get these two as they're now both out!! >Link toDr Zo here!< BUT like I said, if you wanna save a bit (or, possibly a lot especially if you're outside the U.S.!) on shipping, hold on a LIIIIITTLE LONGER as Annie's will be out for Patrons (as far as I understand from the queue) this Friday!!!
They're Patreon-only for about a week after posted on their original site, I was given this last Thursday but had a BUSYYY weekend so didn't get around to posting abt it til now, forgive me, I will be ON THE BALL though when Annie's is out making all 3 available, you can bet on that >:))
Additional text--- ABOUT TO SLEEP AND THEY EXPORTED SO HERE'S CLOTHED TOO <3 I was informed that I can make undressables 👀👀👀 which made my life easier for the SFW designs and so I went ahead and did it!! Told them as well to put me in the queue, I should have more info around Monday !! Love that you guys are as excited about them as I am! 😄
Also ignore the verrrry slight color differences on the sfw vs nsfw versions if you do even notice them, I forgor how I screen clipped the nudie ones until I'd already put the clothed ones in and exported it, and then remembered and the processes were slightly different, but they'll be identical in color for printing & for display on the website once they're up!!
-
Prev text--- Quality low, logos & warning present, and images cropped on the tops, bottoms, and very very slightly on the sides! Merch company told me to be as careful as I can with them as dakis are one of the most stolen types of merch out there, so I'm doing my best I hope to, that's okay!!
Will be releasing a poll for Elites about if I should ask them to go ahead and release this one (or, put me in the queue? if there's a queue for this as I found out for the scents!) or wait to redo the sfw ones! my closest goal is a Dr. Zo NSFW (these), a Dr. Zo SFW, and a Dr. Zo with Ratticus on the back both SFW! Longer term goals for dakis are a Ratticus front and back SFW where he's in his normal clothes, another Ratticus SFW where he's in his pajamas/boxers, and an Annie NSFW! Will try and make it all one poll asking too about which one to make next, sometime next month! Feel free for those who are Hot Peppers to express your wants for the next dakis in the comments here and ofc I'll take them into consideration!!! :))
Working on Dr. Zo NSFW daki designs right now, BUT was asked for the movie to post 1 more casting call!! Gonna use a cropped version of this older piece I haven't shown you guys yet for that, but you guys get uncropped uncensored B) !! Fun fact, this is the concept art that secured that I got to do a bear and a wolf pairing, because another group wanted to do a bear & wolf as well & they said NO DUPLICATES so I secured my pick with sharing this concept!! :D
The preview is cropped so I'm sharing this with $6 patrons as well who are typically a fully SFW tier, but note that opening the image fully, it is certainly NSFW!! And the rest of the site is as well, don't get jumpscared!!
Dr. Zo's perfume is now out for purchase for Patrons only til the end of the week, then it will be out for public purchase!!!! If you are someone who wants JUST Dr. Zo's, it's available for you now! If you are wanting to buy multiple scents (either two or all 3), I would just remind you to consider shipping costs for yourself so you aren't over-paying/paying more unintentionally, as waiting on the others to come out would save you a little (or a lot, if you're international!!) on shipping costs! But wanted to share so you have this for you as soon as I do too! :D
Mhm mhm fixed some pacing, minor animation errors, and of course added slickkkkk 😌😌 I wanna say, I wanna beg and pray , this one only has like hopefullyyyy 3 more pages max? I always get like this towards the end of these, I don't wanna rush it but I'm Also excited for it to be fully animated and work on other stuffs !
HIMMMMMMMMMM his eyebrow piercing doesn't look colored but I swear it is, gifs are just stupid and off color :,)
1 second of trailer done, it'll have some sort of title card or smth that they'll add in that empty space to the right, like "featuring THE "CURSE" by Beetlerat" or smth :) waiting for assignment for the other 5 ! <3 <3 Gotta wait til VAs are picked out and all that jazz!!
A few pushes per usual, for surrrre cutting myself some slack as Ben is in recovery !! And doing well though, just such a crazy thing that you get top surgery then basically have to bind all day and night for like 3 weeks straight 😵😵 But it'll all be worth it, they're done with the compression wrap around the 23rd and then have lifting limitations through all of August, but are doing great!!
As always, these times are approximations, as I pack the month with a lot for one person to accomplish! But I do better with an ambitious checklist than a more realistic one so bear with me!:
CAN SHARE THEM WITHOUT WATERMARKS NOW <3 Posting just to my NSFW tiers bc of peepis :) If any of you are voice actors and want to audition for any of the characters on this project, there's 33 slots total!! Of course I'm honored if you audition for one of my characters, but there's also 10 other animators so lots of possibilities!!
Doctorrrr <3 He'll have both his feet when I move them to digital !!
Hi hi to all the Hot Pepper rats!!!!! So happy to have you, I hope you will love it here >:)))
Also floating the idea of a Ratticus daki, just because a some of you got excited about the idea of more merch for him ! This is one sketch, the other side of his would have a pajama shirt on and his boxers, and probably him holding a pillow or a stuffed animal. A few of u also asked about nsfw stuff for him, I'm not opposed to it in the future but for now he's staying overall SFW! No sexual content or full frontal nudity, though u might see his butts with nude-but-not-lewd context. My plan with that is to wait til he is 20 in the main series (he's 19 now), I just feel he needs an extra sec to mature before I do anything like that with him! But I do hear u guys, he's on the back burner dw !!
Straddlinggggggggggggg through-animation (very little looping, animating mostly forwards instead of being able to make a loop) is time consuming !!!! And, more cum to come, will have more for this part when I do the full-til-now update with it throughout :)) ALSO Ben went through their top surgery and it was very successful, and I've been taking care of them this past week (hence slightly slower posts) and their drains come out tomorrow and it's their chest reveal!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
All good things, ALSO expect NSFW body pillow sketches of Dr. Zo tomorrow! I'm trying to figure out a good way to convert them to lineart into Krita, but draw them first in my animation software, bc the lineweight in Krita is worse to draw with and just doesn't look as good, fiddling with that has been time consuming as well 😵 More soon!!
HIII This is so so unrelated to Theratpy, also like ?!! omg I drew NOT rats??????!!! Who am I even?? Crazy!! Also pls ignore the almost transparent beetlerat logo on them, and pls heed the 'do not repost' just like with all my other patron content, must protect my art for this project <3
I know this gay wolf and gayer bear are out of left field 😱 but stick with me:
I am excited to announce I'm going to be one of the animators on an NSFW Anthro Anthology Film, being done sort of like a MAP but is intended to be over an hour long!! 😱😱 I can't share tons of details right this second, BUT rapid movement on it came up this month and I had to submit some character designs and a script I wrote so that Voice Actorss can start being looked at, and it took a little bit of priority because I'm under contract! (Which is exciting!!!!!!!) Anyways, wanted to share 2 of the sheets with u too so you know what I'm up to, still working on the other stuff on the Monthly Lineup but just know it got pushed a little for other cool things!! <3
Also note, Annie scent samples C & D are in the mail and as soon as I get home from Ben's surgery I'll open and smell them on stream!!! We are out of town til the 2nd though, so it's gonna be a sec! Hold tight!!
Announcement!! ^Super brief info right there in the title, basically as of Now the $19 tier is LIVE, everything NSFW available to the Elite tier is now available as well to the $19 tier, it should work properly for you. Feel free to switch up or down to that tier as you please!
Also, now is the time to lock in the $5 tier to take advantage of the cheaper price! On the 22nd it will be upped to $6, so make sure you make that happen now to save a little money in the short term and more in the long term!
HIS TOWELLL AND HIS BELLLL AND HIS OTHER BELL 🗣️🗣️🔔🛎️ The background art might change a bit, because just like with the other two, it has art of the smells you're getting! Annie's current scent blend is pine, bourbon, and bergamot, but in the sampling I felt that it was too sugary/sweet, we think that the bergamot is the problem and that the pine didn't come through enough so my merch people are making some adjustments to that that might also include cedar, and if I find a good way to incorporate that in the background as well then I will! The art of Annie himself shouldn't change though :)
Stated the same in the Dr. Zo sticker: The logo/watermark will not be part of the final sticker! The quality is also dropped to help protect my art, the final stickers will be crisp :) Also note the colors are not exact to how these designs will print, as the RYB (online) and CMYK (for printing) color spaces are different and don't always translate perfectly! CMYK so far has been a bit more saturated and sometimes slightly darker, so you are aware!
Scents/perfumes are not available YET, but I am working with Huff Aromas, an adult site for perfumes, musks, and more! I will keep you guys posted, I have a full video up on my Twitch of me smell testing their scents, linking it here if you'd like to watch the whole thing! But I'll be clipping together parts for the merch promotion itself once it is out and ofc will share :)
HI posting this to every Patron member free and paid, I've been thinking about this a lot, and the next few weeks is the best time for me to implement it if I'm gonna due to the timeframe of now to moving to Chicago, otherwise I'll have to wait another year!
Basically, you guys have requested a cheaper NSFW tier for a long time, and I've been wanting to provide that, but the two main problems were people suggested $10 or $15 which is just too low to value what I make, plus even if it wasn't then the transition to a lower amount has always been such a large paycut for me if everyone migrated to the cheaper option that I wouldn't be able to animate full-time anymore, or be able to afford sound design or music! It was too big a risk. However right now is the only window I have to try to make it work, and so here's my proposal: A $19 NSFW only tier, where you do not see ahead in the main story, but DO still have access to all NSFW art and animation made and to-be made!
For this to happen, I would modify my $5 tier to cost $6 for new signups. Those who are currently $5 tier or sign up for $5 tier before the $6 price change goes live will not be affected, you will still be able to retain $5 tier benefits for $5 as long as you do not leave the tier, basically cheaper forever for continued loyalty and for being someone who was an early financial supporter!! This would value the 10 advanced main story updates, album updates, tiktok short creation, and main story sfx and music updates at expressly $6 monthly, so the $25 tier would stay at $25 with being everything I make, but an NSFW-only tier at $19 (25 minus that $6 value) would also exist where you just get NSFW updates and don't have ahead access to the main story & sfw content! This price is my compromise to not devalue my work but also provide a (not cheap, as receiving NSFW artwork is a luxury service, but) cheaper option for my 18+ content!
I've made a multiple-choice poll below, please select as many as apply to you, I would hugely appreciate if you would submit some sort of answer if you do see this to help me gauge what you guys think, and I can make some better predictions on how this will affect my income so I can plan ahead and not struggle financially, because you guys are about 95% of my income! Feel free to ask questions below too if you have any. Thank you :)))
DOCTOR ZO 🫣🫣🫣🫣 The sample I got of his smell is SO my favorite, I don't even . I can't even begin to describe to u . His scent blend is cashmere, oak, and just a touch of lavender! Literally so tasty to me personally. I also know a lot of people expected something more like coffee smelling, but I don't think he would wash himself with coffee scent, and this is the Freshly Showered collection! Plus, we eventually hope to do coffee beans for a few different characters, including Dr. Zo of course, and I think that's when coffee smell and theming will shine through!!
The logo/watermark will not be part of the final sticker! The quality is also dropped to help protect my art, the final stickers will be crisp :) Also note the colors are not exact to how these designs will print, as the RYB (online) and CMYK (for printing) color spaces are different and don't always translate perfectly!

IT'S HIMMMMMMMMMMMMM logo/watermark will not be part of the final sticker! The quality is also dropped to help protect my art :)
Scents/perfumes are not available YET, but I am working with Huff Aromas, an adult site for perfumes, musks, and more! I will keep you guys posted, I have a full video up on my Twitch of me smell testing their scents, but will crop together smaller chunks for easier viewing once they go live!!
Ratticus's scent blend is gonna be Vanilla, Peach, and Sandalwood! Kept Ratticus's sticker art more pg, my merch contractor recommended nude poses but it's just not the vibe for Ratticus currently! He's 19, but just isn't the type to be nudie and comfortable about it! Dr. Zo and Annie however... 👀Expect Dr. Zo shortly (next few hours max) and then Annie by the end of the day tomorrow! - Art keeps taking a minute, was figuring out stuff with scent merch contracting, with another contract I'm in to participate in the animation of an NSFW anthro movie (?!?!?!) which we are doing some beginner work on (scripting, character designing, etc.), finally stepping away more fully from the Discord (has been so much nicer the last few days, I can't even describe), and helping Ben get all set up for surgeryyy in like, almost exactly a week!! Excited to share more with you though asap!!!
Omg a calendar page!! 👀👀 Made by the ONE AND ONLY GUTSYYYY <3 one of my wonderful mods on the Discord and member of my Patreon!! Posted the blank one as well, for anyone who might have use for it !! We were gonna try and make a Theratpy calendar for merch this year, but it looks like it'll be for 2027 instead of 2026 due to sizing issues and time restrictions on my part!
This month I SWEAR will be more productive for our Elite Tier! I have plans >:) and am finally going to be dealing wayyyy way less with the Discord, which has been a huge time hog and I've determined I'm done being on the front lines with it and am passing the torch!
Here's what's up this month, and remember as usual that these times are approximations and I pack the month with a lot for one person:
