Jan Special: Big Wolf Energy

Today Barbara is a big squirrel and Melissa is a lil' wolfie, and it works so well!  Ladies, how do you make it look so effortless?  Seriously, couple goals.

You're A Sky Full Of Stars

I drew this deep in the throes of being very sick, so I'm not 100% sure what was going on in my artistic brain, and yet it appeals to me greatly.  Let's load up the headcamel!

Yan Longclaw (not pictured) was a knight who sold out his compatriots and went rogue.  If that wasn't lousy enough, he dumped his infant child in an orphanage with express intent of coming back for her when he felt like playing happy families, which he never did.  Yunan was so called for the old New...

Jan Special: Freaky Froxday

It's Ribbit Grin and Kitsune-chan and they're here to make everybody uncomfortably aroused!  Foxfrog is adorable of course, but Frogfox has serious swamp witch energy and I'm living.

Grubhogs, Buzzboys and Newtwives

I have a nasty cold and can't do much except lay around looking sad, so I had a few minutes to think about grubhog husbandry!  You know, instead of nothing!

Grubhogs can be hunted in the wild but are more likely to give better meat if intentionally farmed.  "Domestic" grubhogs tend to be fatter, larger and more nutritious than their feral counterparts, reaching ideal slaughter weight within about six months as opposed to a year.  A large, relatively inland city like Newto...

Sixty Nine Newts

The latest example of the General thinking she's in control whilst m'lady gets exactly what she's after (even if good things come to amphibians who wait).  Also let's none of us discount Olivia for being Yunan's pretty little sub.  I'm reasonably sure that if you can take eight inches of muscular newt tail in the rear entrance you're tougher than the Marines.

Please don't tell Matt Braly how I live.

Poll Results

OK, so it was a tie and it's pretty clear which two pairs you folks would like to see the most.  I'll draw both couples because Kae is no slouch!  I may want to post one or both publicly though, as long as no one minds.

Newt Notes

I felt that the newts deserved their own tag here on the Patreon.  Holy moly, folks, I have drawn a LOT of newts.

Everybody needs a therapy animal I guess.

Marcy And Alena And Marcy

If you're just now joining us for Kae's Amphibia Headcanon But It's Just Yulivia, Marcy and Alena Newton are Yunan and Olivia's adoptive daughters (a mudpuppy and hellbender, respectively).  Marcy Wu was Yunan and Olivia's favorite human of the Calamity Trio, to the extent that they see her as their third erstwhile child.  So here's Human Marcy meeting and interacting with her little sisters.

If you haven't seen the canon, Flipwart is amphibian chess.  Marcy was the only ...

Hungry Hungry Herpetiles

"Herpetiles" being an old term for reptiles and amphibians.  I'm surprised it took me this long to trot out the Yunan-flavored dad jokes.  You newt this would happen eventually.

Meanwhile, Alena's getting good at replicating Mummy's withering stares...

Jan Special: Juxtaposed January!

It's about to get freaky furry Friday up in here!  For the January special I'll do a species swap for one of these unsuspecting couples.  Who gets the treatment?

December Shout Out!

This December was especially merry!  Let's wrap up the year with a resounding ribbit for all our Patrons, in particular our friends of Frog and Up!  Thanks Tineid, Nutjob, Unsingable_Name, Heartshine, Dragonpone, Floydiana, Greypon3, Jonathan, Jose Rosa, La Limule, Lopoddity, Luke the Foxen, Markus Frisen, Piinkmoon and Quirk Hopper!

Twofer Newts

Yunan and Olivia may have already committed to adopting Marcy Jr., but there's no way Liv's leaving the grounds without this beautiful hellbender baby.  Fortunately it's coupon day here at ye olde eft orphanage!  The Newton twins are on their way home! 

Sorry the Little Sisters of Newtopia look like Catholic nuns, heh.  I don't even know what newtfolk consider to be a higher power.  The common expletives in Amphibia are "for frog's sake" or "oh my frog", so I am...

Monster Rancher

Helmets on, friends, because it's time for HEADCANON!  TLDR: grubhog ranching for fun and profit.  Get into it.

The Newtons can't coast on their wartime heroics forever, and they have to earn their keep amongst the locals.  Furthermore, her status as a Retired Badass notwithstanding, Yunan needs to be kept busy and active or she'll get punchy and eat the sofa (I may have just described a husky, but you follow).  So she and Olivia obtain a herd of grubhogs which, when...

Practicing Self Care

I'm sad now that Christmas 2022 is over and now I have to lock Pentatonix back in their cat carrier until next year.  Newts cheer me up at the moment, so you Patrons will probably be seeing newts and newts allein until 2023.  I don't make the rules.  Well, I mean, I do, but...you get it.

Can't Stop My Brain

I slept badly the night between December 25th and 26th and woke up bothered by angst.  Turns out so did Olivia.  I guess she has plenty to be fretful about...from making sure Yunan and the kids (including the prodigal human kid) stay safe, to thoughts of her relationship with her late mother, to reflections on the first few decades of her life having been devoted to a bloodthirsty tyrant...some nights it's not worth falling into bed.

And yet Yunan sleeps like an eft.  I'm...

Buon Newtale

Alternate titles for this one include, but are not limited to, "Twas The Newt Before Christmas", "A Sleigh Ride Together With Wu", and "Feliz Newtvidad".

So if you're gonna do Amphibia fanart you're eventually bound to run into "what if the humans came back"?  And certainly our newt moms love their chaotic-good erstwhile-daughter Marcy (not to be confused with their mudpuppy baby of the same name), so what better time for the caterpillar to drag her in than on the eve of Yule? &nbs...

Gelt Trip

Rudy's having a Hanukkah party and he's teaching his friends how to play dreidel!  Yes, our favorite dolphin boy is Jewish on both his fathers' sides (though Ike doesn't practice).  Rudy also celebrates Christmas with grandpa Gnewt, because Rudy loves holidays.

Let's all have a heart attack and die from not surprise that the Newtons will be making the occasional cameo in WwF.  Never shall it be said that Aunt Kae is wasteful when it comes to character designs!  Marcy...

Tangled Up In Newts

Olivia's greatest foil is her seemingly endless juxtaposed tendency to be thoroughly annoyed and horny as hell.  Yunan's greatest foil is Olivia's corset. 

Christmas is literally crawling up my chimney and here I am doing silly newt sex gags.  You have eggnog with booze in it.  I have this.

PS: I feel like Claws McGee here used to do a lot more bodice ripping, but the honeymoon is over, and fine Newtopian silk lingerie doesn't pay for itself.

Santa Squatch Spotting!

While he does show up every year (at least in cameo form), now is a jolly good time for a refresher in WwF Santa lore.  In the world of St. Charlies's denizens, the legends of cryptids and holiday harbingers are intertwined.  Santa Claus (or St. Nick, or Kris Kringle if you want) is synonymous with the yeti (or the Abominable Snowmonster, or the Bumble Snowman, if you want).  Who else could thrive so successfully at the North Pole and ferociously subjugate an entire species of ...

The Dream Team

If you've been around my FA account for a great many years you know I have a Drowzee x Jynx couple that I've been writing since land lines roamed the earth.  I've been wanting to integrate these girls into the cast of WwF for a while, and though the tapir was one thing, the Jynx was writing me into a corner.  And then Asuraludu is like "make her an Australian false lion!" and I'm like "I've got fuck all else to do!"

Special Holiday Pic: YOU Decide!

Hi!  Christmas is just around the terrifyingly close corner, so let's chill out with a special Patreon reindeer game!  I'd like to do a fun Christmas or holiday related piece and I want you to come up with the theme.  If I love it, I'll draw it!  If I don't draw it, I still probably love it but I only have so much time!  Please put your suggestions in the comments.  Anything goes!

Liv tries on Yunan's gauntlets and immediately the power goes to her head.  This one wasn't even my idea!  It was Newtjob's!  I mean Nutjob's!

Dec Special: Prim And Harshy Holiday

One realization to which I keep coming back is the time I was lamenting society's lack of queer elders, and then I was like "oh shit, I AM queer elders!".  You folks voted in these grande matron mares for your mistletoe pic and I salute you.  And I salute Harshwhinny and Prim.  And those of us whose love is like a fine  parmigiano-reggiano: just gettin' better with age.

In my defense it wasn't a fair fight to begin with.

Great year for art though!  Let's make 2023 even better!

Sneak Peek: WwF Banner

Pretty much every platform on which I post now wants a decent banner, but instead I'm giving them this slapped together nonsense!  Hey, it carries a tune and we can dance to it.  I'll be uploading it to my sites this weekend.  

Yes, Icy is that big.  She is no baby bear.

Dec Special: Don't Fix What Ain't Broke

For our December special, let's return to the festive subject matter with which you just can't lose: a romantic kiss under the mistletoe!  It's been done before, many times many ways, but there's a good reason for that.  Who doesn't enjoy a dose of mushy holiday love?  Now pick your subjects!  One vote per patron if you please.  Also, just because I haven't drawn it in a while doesn't mean I stopped shipping it!
