ip012-My werewolf bae

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!

You all know that I'm a sucker for shapeshifters by now, don't you? Shapeshifters have long been a part of popular culture, appearing in literature, film, and television. I'm almost sure I've mentioned this episode from "Batman: The Animated Series" before, "Tyger, Tyger" (after the poem...). It pushed all the shapeshifting buttons I had in my mind when I watched it. In some cultures, shapeshifters are seen as powerful beings who can transcend boundaries...

ip011-Paper planes

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!

Paper planes, paper airplanes, paper darts. They have so many names (in Brazillian Portuguese, we call them, in the plural, "aviõezinhos de papel," or "little paper airplanes"). I can't recall any phase of my life without them. They were once simple, then very sophisticated, and then simple again. I guess I forgot how to fold sheets of paper the way I used to. Time flies. Then, I was working on this month's painting, and the many skin interactions we se...

Make-believe #03

Make-believe is a series of polls where our OCs will explore imagery from the arts, literature, fiction, fantasy, games, and beyond.

- - -

You never believed in monsters. Well, at least not before this year’s spooky season was over. You met her a couple of weeks ago. She was as cute and witty as one can be, and her accent, where was it from? She had unusual tastes, but none of them ever got in the way of your ...

ip010-Yes, she bends

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!

There's something magical about immersing ourselves in our favorite fiction worlds. The experience can transport us to another place and time, even if just for a few minutes. For a while, we can forget about the stresses of the day. Whether it's Hogwarts, Middle Earth, Pandora, Fire Nation, or a galaxy far, far away, these fantasy realities can captivate us and leave us feeling refreshed and re-energized.

Speaking of energy, we were all getting use...

ip009-Ranger

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!

To the best of my personal experience, tabletop roleplaying games have always been a great way to develop our creativity and social skills, both as a child and as an adult. When we create a character, we also create an opportunity to know ourselves through unique lenses. Our opinions on society and culture inevitably show through when we design a setting. It's fun to see the witty friend playing a rogue, but it's equally entertaining to see that friend t...

Tonight, you fell asleep watching a beloved cartoon, exhausted. Being a bender or seeing one in person would feel so amazing! As you open your eyes inside the dream, characters and voices emerge from your imagination. There’s a mirror in the room. When you look at it, you c...

[Extra] Three more studies!

I know I still need to finish next month’s main painting, but I was so hyped with our last poll that I wanted to sketch the ranger, bard, and monk immediately. The ranger character class was our winner, followed by a tie between the monk and the bard. I thought they could be played by Leto, Shola, and Tallulah, respectively (Epona will be the DM, so no cookie for her, LOL). Here we are, then, with a second study pack! Yay! =^_____^=

I also wanted to experiment with our streaming chann...

ip008-Vintage fun

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!

Vintage is more than just a trend. It's a state of mind that transports us to another time and location. Something about a vintage item's aesthetic makes us feel nostalgic for an era, place, or culture we never even experienced. Maybe it's the classic designs or the simplicity of life back then, but it's hard not to feel drawn to vintage pieces. When I think about pinup paintings of masters like Gil Elvgren, all these puzzle pieces seem to fall into plac...

All right, it’s tabletop role-playing game night! You and the other girls finally gather around the table and spend quality time together, playing characters, exploring lost ruins, and slaying any monsters along the way. It’s going to be epic, fun, and magical!

[Extra] Study... packs?

I’ve recently watched some videos of skilled painters who admitted they were terrible draftsmen. Some traced photos (a capital sin inside my teacher's atelier, although it’s a common practice). Others needed to approach the drawing steps like a thorny equation. I was puzzled. Drawing is an essential skill for any artist, the first skill, the foundation for everything else. I recall my first drawing lessons when I was a kid. Rocks and trees first, followed by landscapes, perspective, anima...

ip007-Safety

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!

It feels like it's been ages since we last caught up with our beloved characters! I have missed them dearly, and I'm sure you have too (well, we had a neat poll on that recently, LOL). I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your continued support, as well as for the love you've given them whenever we get glimpses of their world.

So, we officially left the realms of high fantasy and magic for now. With each new series, however, we're ...

[Extra] Kaydia and Amaris

Besides painting, only a few activities introduced me to new challenges, concepts, and experiences such as this. Working on a cyberpunk-themed project led me to binge-watch animations, do some 3D modeling, research, and do much exploratory sketching. It wasn’t my first contact with the setting, but it was my first time painting it, so finding the right palette, textures, detail, and the intense contrast between opposites that few genres blend so beautifully was a ride worth taking. =^_____^...

ip006-Optimism

Optimism can be seen as a powerful force that shapes how we experience our surroundings, the belief that the future is bright, like wishing for lots of bones to chew when you have a canine appetite and, well, getting them. It can be a road towards acceptance but also a slippery slope leading to the illusions of unreflected wish fulfillment.

Wish fulfillment... While this approach can be motivating, it can also be dangerous. We risk great disappointment if things don't go our way. On the...

On themes, dreams, and old friends.

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!

Soon we’ll be working on our Fantasy-inspired illustrations for a whole semester (whew! Time flies!), so I was wondering whether I should keep working on those as our main illustration pack (IP) theme or whether we could use a change of air. 

What do you say? =^_____^=

[Extra] Soo Yun Lee

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!

Here’s an image that pushed many right nostalgic buttons in me. As I worked on this project, I couldn't help but be transported back to my childhood and early teens. Most of those action figures in the background brought back memories of the countless hours I spent playing video games with my friends and family. I remember the laughs, the excitement, and the feeling of being completely immersed in a world that was both familiar and excitingly new.

ip005-Bewilderment

Bewilderment… Every time I collect the entries for the monthly polls on emotions, I try to have at least two or three mental concepts of what could be a spicy depiction of each. Bewilderment seems to fall very close to perplexity and confusion. I don’t know about you, but few things perplex me more than portals to other worlds. It can be as concrete as finding the literal rabbit hole as Carroll does in Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland or as symbolic as the slow dissolve from a shower dr...

Emotions 03

We all have different emotions that shape our moods and outlook on life. Some of us may strongly desire something or someone, while others may feel enthusiastic and passionate about their goals. Some of us may feel a deep attachment and loyalty to a person or a cause, while others may feel content and fulfilled with what they have.

According to those who study the human condition, emotions are at the core of our experiences, whereas feelings reflect how we interpret them. M...
