status update: MAUS

phone freaks out if type too much.

it's almost mid month. i feel its better to double up with July art . will not pause again. pauses make me lazy, makes returning to normal harder.

will give more time to do mouse properly. have a rough concept design of winningest maus. codenamed 'cultured claws'.

stay safe all, apologies for lateness again. this has not been a good year so far.

Introducing the Tier FuDoggos & some stuff

I've had them ugly Folder icons for years, time the tiers got a refreshing. There's Tips, which I plan to bring back. Then in ascending order is Silver, Gold and Jade. I figure there's no point being serious and formal. I draw fuzzy ladies, that's the fact.

Will update the sales tax thing tonight, need sleep first.

LATE PACK BUT FILLED WITH DETERMINATION:

Muse is late with inspiration so I don't really have a lot to show for right now, but I will deliver an art pack, might n...

Create a Zodiac final round

It's funneled down to Metal Mousy girl, y'all into the 2020 spirit.

In this final round, you get to decide on her role in the Peach Garden, her non-personal-relations specialty. In ancient chinese times, the brothel was one of the few places where the commoner with enough money could get a taste of imperial stuff, like court dances and refined music. Mostly high-class refined activities, not plate-spinning or circus acrobatics.

For the final round, what will mousey be good at?

Create a Zodiac round 3

 It's a tie between Dragon and Mouse, so I let Lady Luck pick the winner, best ouf of 5 coin flips and Mouse wins by a squeak!

So we've narrowed it down to a mouse girl. Next up is her element, that guides her general design and maybe some of personality. Could be interpretive, a water mouse could have scale patterning like a koi painting, and a wood mouse could be any combination of plant (and petal / leaf ears).

 It's a smaller list this time, just 5 items, so 1 vote e...

Some idea drafts for this month's pile

Here's some stream stuff, I've got 2 weeks to put art together so as usual, I test them digitally before using paper. I feel old, winded at the end of a 4hr stream.

  • 1) Lady Hightail, a werewolf from a 2020 australian movie.
  • 2) based on the plush dino included with the Dragon capsule flight
  • 3) finally came up with an idea for the last of the Dog Hat set
  • 4) Fang from Goodbye Volcano High, much less dolphin faced

Fang is a toughie as I don't kno...

Create a Zodiac round 2!

 And the ladies take round 1! Would've called it sooner if it got the 23rd vote, going over half, but let it run it course because it might tie, and yes I have figured out ways to address a tie, like twins

Next we pick the animal, and there's no bias in the ordering, it's listed according to the legend of winning the race, from rat first to pig last.

Again, I'm gonna let this go for another week. And this round I'm allowing multiple votes so you can pick a few of your fave cr...

1st July sales tax info (big image)

Taking time off for the month, besides not being able to deliver anything, is also to figure out this new sales thing. This is what I know, there're categories that are taxable, there those that aren't, and Patreon wants to know what I as a creator is putting out.

What I offer fall squarely in Digital Downloads, so some of you may be poked for a little bit more. for further reading, click the following link and scroll down to 'Details on Sales Tax' which includes US state breakdown, exe...

Create a zodiac #1

While in downtime, how about a group activity? Let's create a zodiac, powered by you!

Polling will be done on a weekly basis, for their physical features. Might have a 4th poll for personality, quirks, special things, depending on results. Like if there's a tie between 2 elements, the resulting Zodian could be a dual wielder or twins.

The resulting Zodiac is ours; you can have fanart done of them outside of this patreon, I could make them a Peach Garden star, and even make cameo i...

Pausing June

Nothing's really up, just want to make room for commissions, some have been on hold before my tooth fiasco.

PS: It seems I'm stuck on monthly cycle for good. Can't undo CUF, can't switch to per-post charging, don't want to start a new Patreon and lose my Founders benefits. So thank goodness for small blessings, like pauses.

EDIT: Looks like I needed the pause anyway. Aside from having more time to do arts, slowly and steadily and nicely, I need the time to:

2020 April PSDs

Kinda scrapped the idea of COVIS19, pretty sure it'd be insensitive if I write the chinese 19 on her tum, but the roman XIX doesn't quite have the same punch.

And a look into a small Zodihavoc dev. Before updating their designs, I've taken to assigning each of them an element, that influences their mannerisms, fighting styles, etc. The roadblock now is TouZhai's role, can't quite find a niche for her yet.

Been cleaning when not feeling creative and found some old WIP, might do com...

2020 April X pack

Sorry, the sexy side held things up cos I was undecided on which Digimom to finish, between Devidramom or Gargoylemom.

Also got lost a bit looking for Easter bunny's linework, thought I lost it in the transfer, until... I opened up the file to find it was digital. Forget where my head is, next.

So, yeah, another month of lewds to plan for. I've got 2 more digimoms prepared, that leaves maybe 1 more. As a designer, I say I want to get more work done on Peach Garden.

2020 April Pack

Hello all, everyone staying safe?

It's been a bit bumpy. It's now Phase... 4 of the stay-in-place, I think? With every phase are new set of guidelines to remember, so every fortnight what I knew before either no longer applies or have new caveats attached. Hopefully this stabilizes a little longer than 2 weeks.

Got the new hard drive, so that's at least the next few years sorted out.

Rather enjoyed the slow careful inking of the coloring sheets. Feel like doing more of that,...

Hang tight, working on an upgrade

COVID lockdown is starting to ease up. Yesterday was the first day of Conditional Movement Controlled Order, basicly recovery phase.

Non essentials are starting to open up, that includes compy tech shops. I'm giving it a few days before I go out and explore my options, maybe the bigger places need to reassess their SOP and situation before opening up. I know for sure a smaller tech shop is open until 5pm, as a backup.

For a little over a week I've been limiting my computer time to...

streaming on hold

COVID things have been improving slightly, and if it holds up by the 24th, the threat level may be brought down back to Code Blue in phase 4. Next phase doesn't start until the 29th but gov usually decides a few days in advance how to proceed.

Making progress on art but I've decided unless I really need to, I'm gonna lay off streaming, to try extend my hard drive's life. It's a few months past 3 years, On average I have maybe another few more months before meeting the dreaded Blue Scree...

2020 Feb PSDs

Quite a batch this time. aside from the usual PSDs, got a lot of scraps. Did some livestreaming where I digitally sketched the ideas to save on paper, and I'd like to include those in the Scraps going forward. It's still work, and a look at an idea at its earliest and ugliest.

Not much else going on, no longterm plans, they get derailed too easily these days.

and now gonna catch up on my sleep debt.

2020 Feb Xpack

It's been a very unsexy time, was struggling to make smut while my mojo is cold like ice. But I managed, sort of.

Big one this pack is Velvet: 99% digital, shaded, and with variants. She's a trial for digital-from-scratch works and comms. Still not perfect but I've learned much from the process.

Not sure what I'm gonna smut this month. the dogs in silly hats is short 1 more, that will probably go into the to-do pile. I've drafted a Zodurian fudog, probably do that too, just short ...

2020 Feb pack

The HolycrapIamsolate train is now pulling into the station.

thank you all so very much for your patience. been a trying few months what with the virus and especially the terrible weather. Was also held back a day because I found out Madam chicken wasn't colored when I was tallying things up.

And with Cream and Amy, this concludes the Sonic Cranked series. on to the next rebooting project!

Also time to start another month's artpack. Can't afford another pause, no siree.

Ideapool: Zoonimal Crosstopia

brief update: weather is still stuffy like the devil's asscrack, today the military is called in to help control the curfew, and I'm still hideously backlogged.

Clean ideas I have plenty of, reworking the pack and chucking some work out. What I'm lacking, as always, is the lewd stuff.

It hasn't escaped me that the two biggest gaming news is Doom Eternal and Animal Crossing, and I'm opening up the idea channel for AC because I don't think everyone ...

Hello everyone, COVID19 update.

- I've never been clinically diagnosed for depression but for days, I've just been feeling sorry for myself. not sure what I'm feeling sorry about, just rather down in the dumps and want nothing more than to be a lazy potato. None of the redraws are turning out right, managed to save a few for scraps later. I tend to tear up failures and move on.

I think I've gotten the self-pity out of my system, gonna give reworking another go.

- On to the big news of today, my country h...

First pause of 2020 / status update

Foremost, apologies for this lateness, and the one coming next.

I have decided I may not be able to make next month, so it's best I pause for April and resume in May. (I wish there was a way to revert back to per-update, which is easier on my aging body and changing lifestyle).

The main reason for the pause is I feel my tech may go kaput within that timeframe, so I'm preemptively making space for failure and recovery. I'm working with an unfamiliar situat...

progress slow, slight computer trouble

Battery has konked proper. charge meter is stuck at 91%, will depower if I unplug, and seems to be running a little hotter than usual if RealTemp readings are accurate.

This is the first unit I've used with an internal battery so I'm not sure if I'm using it right, been keeping it plugged in. With the older laptops I just eject the power pack,

Still delayed, a little better, want to redo some arts

feeling a little better, gotten a little cooler, at the same time as some haze rolled in. air smells faintly of ash. maybe it's blocking some of the direct sunlight.

Now that I'm not delirious with exhaustion, looking back at my art pile, I don't feel good posting some of it, arting while sick does not make pretty art. felt some looked okay at the time but that's the blurry bleary sick-o-vision talking.

Like beer goggles, except caused by illness. it all looks different once sober...

it's buffer time, again.

good morning, good afternoon and good evening, whenever this finds you.

wanted to jot this with my phone but the site version is too heavy for it, so I  fired up the PC for this and will get some work done.

I've been down with something for a few days, don't think it's coronavirus, feels more like strep throat. I am however still compromised, still haven't had my post-dental neck issue addressed. No shortness of breath, a key coronavirus symptom, so I'm okay I guess.

reopening digital doodle request

I kinda miss digital sketching, have been dabbling on-and-off since I got my cintiq and getting a bit more comfortable with it.  so how about we give this another try?

There aren't really any hard rules, whatever I can finish within an hour per piece.  Adult is fine,  nothing too fancy or squicky, and I'm still not good at penis so bear with me on that.

ready? go!

2019 Dec - 2020 Jan PSDs

there's supposed to be more scraps than this, but these are the ones I remembered to save. A lot went into the bin outta sheer frustration, usually in sketch phase and erased so much the paper was threatening to tear.

Just 1 more hot dog in silly hat left to complete the set. and I feel like indulging in some self-deprecating humor and sticking Uncle Fu in a bao hat or something.

I have nothing else special to mention, except maybe... I've finally sorted out the Zodihavoc prologue...

2019 Dec - 2020 Jan Xpack

Tiddy, tiddy, tiddy, tiddy, tonker.

Sort-of fulfilled a long-ago request for Scorbunny boi.

Good smut requires I feel sexy about it, ain't really feeling it for months, but I did find it approachable if I treat it as my usual style-redesign. It becomes a technical pursuit instead of an erotic one.

Hello all, and thank you very muchly for your patience.

They say it's like riding a bicycle, you never really forget. In that phrase, refering to getting back into the swing of arting, it's like getting back on the bike with a foot still in a cast.

A lotta mistakes, a lotta false starts, even forgetting my sitting posture. It's coming back to me, bit by bit.

Couldn't finish coloring everything so have the inks first, I've set them all up in their PSDs for the weekend. Next m...

Double delivery in Feb, Jan is shorter than expected.

Just a heads up.

I'm not done with the arts yet, doing my best and new ideas come up everyday surpassing the last.

I ask for a lot and this is a pretty large ask: that I art straight through January and double up the art pack for February instead.

Aside from getting more ideas each day, it's a matter of time.

If I post the December art stuff now I've got about 2 weeks left to come up with this month's art pack, and I'm already 3 days down: 24 -...

progress for the week.

happy new year all, turning out well so far?

Been a not-easy week. between working on the mini comms and trying to make stuff for y'all. I've been so reliant on digital for months that my hand forgot the feel of working properly on paper. Had to warm up to it again, scrapped quite a bit, had a few simple things inked and pencilled another 'hot dog in silly hat'.

For some reason I'm a right-side binge.

Also scrounged in the 2019 folder, found half-finished page that was meant...
