"We're going to make such beautiful research together!"

I think I figured out why I burned myself out on pony stuff. Years ago when I first started, I could just draw whatever dumb idea/crack ship/AU I wanted, whenever I wanted, and it was fun! But as the pandoraverse developed, I kinda got locked into this established storyline. Couldn't deviate much from it (eg. draw some Blueblood/Big Mac ship art) without confusing my readers ("Is this canon now? What...

I decided to fiddle with Bruce's design. His old one was based on his Pandoraverse design, which was initially created to be a one-off unimportant character. Pony Bruce is thus very monochromatic and simple looking, which I think works well when he's standing against my more complex and colorful pandoraverse characters, but in Fuzzbutts, he was left looking drab and unimportant. :<
So! I tweaked his colors and also changed his species. He's now a whiptail wallaby (Notamacro...

soooo I'm tweaking Skye a bit, as well as her relationship with Sunny. Looking back, I pretty much only created her to be an obstacle for Sunny and Bruce getting together, which is a kinda unfair premise for a character. I feel....bad? So let's flesh her out a bit more.
-Skye Shepard is a sweet, loyal, and spirited girl from the countryside. The last born in a litter of five pups, she quickly learned how to push hard and fight dirty to get what she wants out of life. Sh...

concept art for our expy of Captain Cutthroat! Meet Silas Abalone. I initially thought it'd be neat to have him be a big ass grey kangaroo like Silver so you could have the neat visual symbolism of him constantly looming over his sons, buuuut then I wondered if it might be more interesting for him to be a dinky little asshole. :>

Okay so I’m kinda rebooting Logan. When I first started brainstorming for Fuzzbutts, I didn’t plan to include a Butch expy at all, so I figured Logan could be a little cute nod to Butch, this irritating big brother figure that wouldn’t leave Bruce alone. Later I decided I did want to include a Butch expy (Silver), so I tried to nix the “big brother” aspect of Logan’s character and have him instead be a Huck-like obnoxious neighbor that Bruce has a brief fling with. I don...

So this is Bruce's big brother, our expy of Butch, one mister Silver Abalone. I'm not yet married to this name or design, and I'm still pondering some elements to his story. I won't lie to y'all, I first pictured Sil as being long dead, his death being a highly traumatic event for Bruce that contributes significantly...

Priscilla's parents, Shari and Calvin Sinclaire. They're a bit of an odd couple.
Firstly, large predators generally don't date smaller animals. It's partly an ego thing, big carnivores are meant to be tough and dominating, thus it's seen as undignified to "lower oneself" by accommodating a small partner (eg. squatting to be at their eye level, eating off their tiny plates and cups, etc). There's also the very real danger of a large carnivore hurting a smaller partner by accident....so m...

someone asked if Priscilla is a trans girl like Magnolia, the answer is yes! She's a teeny trans lesbean. Although where Magnolia May knew she was a girl from around the age of five, Priscilla took a bit longer to figure herself out. She did not begin her transition until she was in her mid-twenties, out of college and well into her career.
Priscilla Sinclaire was born into a well-off family, the only ...

When Jude isn't at band practice or work, she dresses like your standard middle-aged dad shopping at Lowe's. Sunny, comparatively, shops almost exclusively at thrift stores and looks like he stumbled out of a bad 90's movie.
Canines form complex social hierarchies, and Sunny and Jude are no exception. Sunny is convinced he's the "pack leader" out of his siblings, and that they have to listen to him cuz he's the oldest and wise...

They met up again after that night, forming a business partnership in the excavation and smuggling of rare gems....and maybe...

Against her parents wishes, Victoria bravely followed behind her brother, pledging to walk into an uncertain future alongside him.
