Posting's been slow this month, why's that?

BECAUSE I GOT A HEAD FULLA SICK

It's not even anything serious like the flu, but whatever it is, it's lingering way too long and is juuuust annoying enough to make it hard to focus during the day, and keeping me from sleeping more than 3-5 hours a night, which in turn makes me feel kinda floaty and drunk when I'm awake.

...Which apparently leads to a lot of "I've been chipping away at this one figure for like two hours, why doesn't it look right, geez" situations. Despite that, ...

The Trillipede eats the Cragfly in the end. The moral of the story is that trillipedes are untrustworthy.


Well that didn't take long, did it? Honest, it was 90% done two weeks ago but then I decided what the page really needed was some photorealistic detail in the back of the tunnel on panel two, so I spend around 85 hours doing that. It's immaculate but it's in the shadowed area so you can't see it.

Seriously though, turns out almost 3 weeks of guest-hosting, driving...

Vizlet the Goth

She is so edgy and rebellious. Look at how hard she's loitering.

She hates the taste of the smoke but she smokes all the time because it pisses off her parents.

Put on a black shirt and hang out with her for an afternoon and complain about society and mention darkness a lot and you'll basically have a moody goth scav girlfriend by the end of the day

October sketch vote #1

lol I'm still a month behind on vote things so TIME TO GET CAUGHT BACK UP YET AGAIN

This one's a free suggestion vote, though I'll put in one of my own because I noticed it continually brought up in the Discord chat so I wanna see if any others wanna see it too. But as usual, absolutely no pressure to vote for it just because I put it up!

As always, -like- an existing idea to vote for it, or leave your own as a reply to this post!

September full pic: Yingolescence

Puberty is even worse on yinglets than humans, as they display a higher degree of unfortunate hair/fur growths, emotional instabilities, and awkward new feelings. Worse yet, their peers are other yinglets.

Altered Fates: HumIsh and KasSher

Altered Fates: That Thing causes Isher and Kass to swap species, as well as Kass' sex.


"How'd ya do it, Ish?"

    Isher stopped scrubbing. She thought for a moment, a hint of confusion working its way into her cheerful expression. "How did I do... what?" she asked, running out of breath by the time she voiced the last word. She was still getting used to not having to push so much with her lungs to get the words out.

September vote "sketch" #1: Poaking Kass

Oh gee is it another one of those "supposed to just be a sketch but I got inspired and now it's a multipanel full-color/shading story piece" WHY YES IT IS

Kass went to House Ivenmoth's tailors and requested a ballroom outfit that exuded authority, refinement, and "resembles the style of a nobleman, but without being overly-mannish as if to suggest the wearer just prefers the style and it's not like they are insecure about being female at all of course."

September Sketch vote #3: Altered Fates

We's gonna have us another Altered Fates sketch (full pic, really), we is! This time, I'll be putting up a few ideas that I feel are ripe for the metaphorical picking. 

That being said, if you have an Altered Fates idea you'd like to see sometime, leave a comment! I do read 'em all, ya know.

Lusty Argonian Maid'd, Part 21: The Unmaskening

Spank the Maid is a timeless and celebrated song accompanied by its own dance routine, and is commonly sung and performed by all races and cultures across Tamriel. 

It is however only performed by the most talented of bards, due to its exceptional length, and the intricate detail of its verses.

The Val Salian Regional Field Guide, Entry 9: Yinglet Life and Development

Been a while since the last Field Guide page! As usual, the info in these is supplemental to the story. They'll give a lot of info about the details of the setting that won't necessarily be discussed by the characters, to give readers a better idea of the world setting, to give more context and meaning to things that occur in the story, and possibly give some observant readers hints about what's really going on with this or that.

However, there won't be anything buried in the...

Altered Fates: Kas-Kas the enclave girl

Here's the first of (probably) a few more entries in the Altered Fates series, which I did 3 of a while back, and is now returning in Patron-voted form!

These what-if scenarios are little explorations into what might have been, if there was just a little tweak to some person, place, or event, with everything else following the strictly canon details.

So to kick it off, the first Patron-suggested winner is a pretty unsurprising one!

It is important to introduce them to the concepts of hunting (smaller, injured) prey from an early age.

The species' main source of nourishment in the wild, i.e. picking up interesting things off the ground and putting them in their mouth, is a skill they are already born with.

Lusty Argonian Maid'd, Part 20: The Soul-Searchening

The Dragonborn has been leveling up a lot, just in Ridiculous Lizard Maid skills, as opposed to combat skills.

The enemy scaling doesn't care about what you've been leveling up in though, as anyone who's spent several levels just maxing their Speech, Smithing, or Alchemy levels can attest when they step back into the wilderness and get stomped by everything that moves

Wuh oh, Patreon Got Confused

Well how 'bout that, looks like Patreon users are experiencing a massive number of payment declines and related problems. It's still early, but the Patreon maintenance team seems to be on high alert figuring this out; it may be caused by them technically switching from a US-based company (in certain regards) to a UK-based one, confusing the banking system and making it think there's fraud attempts being made OR SOMETHING

So uh
