Pawberry Pups Reloaded

They've changed a lot since their original concept. Except Soup, a character I mostly nailed on the first try. >:3 Shadow, the eldest of the pups, isn't shown because he already got a spotlight here. 

All the Pawberry pups are exactly the same age (29), but they insist on adhering to a dumb age-based...

To You, I Will Always Return

"So that's it, then? You're really gonna stay?" Strawberry attempted to mask her worry with an air of indifference, but her voice nonetheless came out as a sharp bark. She winced, trying again.  "....I don't want you makin' promises you don't plan on keepin'. I deserve better than bein' somebody's pity choice. So......if you wanna walk away, I'm givin' you an out, Saint. Last chance. Speak now, or forever hold yer peace."

Saint blinked at her, quiet for a single long, ...

Update

Happy Sunday, all! I'd like to apologize for the lag in content over the past week. I've been pretty busy with work. So busy with work, good god. Trying to set better work boundaries. In the meantime, why don't y'all tell me what kinda October content you want to see? Can be Halloween-themed or just vaguely autumn-ish, as spooky or cozy as you want. Fire away!

hm. well then, sucks to suck prissy

As I mentioned here, Priscilla eventually gets the financial support to turn her amateur rinky-dink beauty salon into a full blown luxury boutique, complete with a spa. This upgrade means she needs more staff than just herself and Tadeo, so she recruits a small cluster of beauty professionals to help her hide the fact she has no idea what she's doing. (Oh god, who made her a boss?? Do her staff even like her??? Is she paying a fair wage adjusting ...

Feline Flexibility

Got a couple days off work because of Hurricane Ian. Urging my fellow Florida folk to stay safe throughout the storm!

Big cats value strength, and Shari is no exception. A lifetime of good diet and plenty of exercise have left her ridiculously strong, fit, and flexible, even now, in her late 50s. Shari has tried for many years to teach Priscilla how liberating and empowering a good hour long session with a punching bag or weight rack can be- but poor Pris is a teeny housecat, and some o...

Scribble Gidget

A quick doodle of adult Gidget. She's HUGE, big enough that she could conceivably tuck her entire family (Bruce, Stormy, Wave Rider, and Finn) under her wings to shelter them from the rain. Like the other Carcharodon kids she picked up Bruce's pottymouth and peculiar sayings, though she's normally too polite to use them. Stormy is a long-suffering parent at this point. Bruce is very, very proud.

"Suffer in your jocks" = eat shit and die

"shit c*nt" = self-explanatory

Sunday Scribbles: Poobies

'Nother scribble. Mama Strawberry and her potato pubbies~

Some of Skye's siblings have gotten name changes and design tweaks. Her sister Star is now named Summer. Her brother Scallywag is now named Snowball. Skye's family is overrun with shepherds and collies with merle-patterned (splotchy) coats. When two dogs with merle genes (like Skye's parents) interbreed, there's a chance of them producing a pup with a double merle mutation. Double merle puppies usually have white coats, and are s...

Sunday Scribbles: Devil Dad

I have like a kajillion doodled ideas in my notebook, because I'm so short on time these days, I have to be pretty selective about which scribbles get picked to be made into fully colored digital drawings. Y'all only end up seeing a teeny fraction of my ideas! So rather than let these scribbles sit in my notebook indefinitely, I'm going to try to get in the habit of cleaning them up and posting em, until I beat that little "everything MUST be fully colored and detailed or you WILL die" View Post

Requests Open

Happy Sunday, all. Hope youve had a lovely week! At the moment I've got several drawing ideas tumbling around in my noggin, but they're half-formed and undefined, kinda like wet clay. When I get into a mood like this, hearing ideas from you guys is often just the thing I need to unblock my creative mojo and let the drawings flow again. So! Requests are open!

Oh Grrrls Just Wanna Have Fun

Priscilla's parents, Shari and Calvin, dancin' their worries away back in 1985. Behold their ginormous size difference, and Shari's ginormous 80s perm.

There's a curious cultural dichotomy between big cats (eg. lions, tigers, leopards, etc) and smaller cats, particular domestic cats. Big cats take themselves very seriously. They are seemingly obsessed with pride, prestige, and tradition. Lions especially pride themselves on being powerful, noble, and dignified at all times. The...

Concept Art: Pink Ladies

So much pink! Have a few design passes for some upcoming characters

1.) Minerva Abigail Belfry. Known as "Minnie" or "Min" to her few true friends. Hopes that people assume she is a vampire bat. In reality she eats bugs and berries. Her hobbies include designing spooky-themed treats at the bakery she works at, taking herself too seriously, posting gothy fanfictions to her blog, and generally being aww'd at by her doofy best friend/boyfriend, PB.

"Are there pets in Fuzzbutts?"

Hmm. As I develop FB, the part of my brain that wants to keep things realistic is often at odds with that part of my mind that wants to inject silly bullshit. The concept of fish dogs is so stupid it kinda pisses me off? At the same time.....hrrrng. Fish doggies. Guppy puppies. Kinda love it

Fuzzbutts Notes: Beds

I wanted to spotlight how more of the characters sleep, but I've got work tomorrow. For now, have some tidbits about roommates Sunny and Bruce, and how beds work in FB. :3

The average citizen in Fuzzbutts is small to medium size (eg. dogs, cats, frogs, bats), with larger animals (eg. bears, elephants, crocodiles) being outliers. For this reason, there's not much point in the average critter owning a large, human-sized bed. In fact, large, open sleeping spaces make many critters instinct...

(TW: Gore) Little Shop of Hyena

Like I said before, a lot of people seem to be under the impression that Virgil is this grisly humorless cannibal-murderer character. That's not really the case, buuuut that ain't gonna stop me from having a lil non-canonical fun. >:3 This is all very much based on my favorite murderous musical, Little Shop of Horrors! With Sunny as Seymour, Skye as Audrey, and Virgil as Audrey II ("Twoey").

Virgil does not eat people, yet a curious number of y'all seem convinced he does. I'm hurt by this slander of my innocent hyena's good name! >:I Jk. Virgil does get up to some ghoulish shit, but cannibalism is not on his to-do list. Still, buckle up for some spooky hyena antics, in the spirit of Halloween~

A fox would indeed be a neat fit for Irie, buuuut Fuzzbutts already has an awful lot of mammals (especially canines) for a world where the majority of the animal kingdom is sapient.

Fight Fight It's A Kangaroo Fight

Gender roles in FB tend to vary by species. Many animals are egalitarian (domestic dogs and cats are notorious for this), some are matriarchal (eg. elephants, hyenas, meerkats), and some still, like lions, deer, and kangaroos, position males as the "dominant" sex. The males are expected to be leaders, to take charge, to woo mates and fight off rivals. This sort of gender essentialism is remarkably outdated in modern society (no need to fend off rival males with claw and fang anymore), but ala...

Sometimes Savannah Smiles

A long time ago, just like Virgil, Savannah had a parent that loved her. They did their best to provide for her, even if it meant sewing clothes and crafting toys by hand. As an adult, Savannah likes to sew lumpy little plush toys as a way to feel close to her father. She likes to gift these to her very youngest and oldest patients, and sometimes to her friends. She might just keep this one for herself, as dinosaurs have been her absolute favorite thing since childhood, to the point her dad a...

Some peeps asked if I planned on changing Silver's species, the answer is nah. He's still a big jock kangaroo, still a big brother bully to Bruce...who now has a means of pushing back against his big bro's teasing, in the form of the greatest bite force relative to body mass of all living mammalian carnivores. 

You'd think Silver would learn to leave his tiny beartrap of a brother alone, but nah, he just learns how to keep the toothy bits pointed away from himself whenever he wants...
