Getting Fit (Into Glamrock Chica)

The crotch plate is gonna feel a little cramped when I squeeze it down over your face but don't worry, nobody will be able to tell from the outside.

——————————————————-

Felt like I needed to get some content out to you all, so I did some quick colour on this piece of Lenora getting squeezed into Glamrock Chica piece by piece… upside down, whoops~

Been a bit of a struggle for me lately, but there will be a more art through the end of thi...

Piece by Piece

What's it like to be slowly converted into a plushie with Perma-Fusion Tape™ ...? I'd say Ran here could tell us all about it, but, well. You know. We did fuse their muzzle into a stitched up deer facsimile... they could write about? Or... nah we're about to fuse their last handpaw into a hoof, whoops!

Oh well, guess we'll just have to use our imagination! All the while Ran gets quieter and squirmier~

For Ranfox who wanted to be merged into a deer plushie piece by piece with f...

Compendium of Curses #002

There are many creatures in this world; Each and every one of them is susceptible to curses to various degrees. Griffons, while possessing a natural magic that renders them less susceptible to ambient magic, are still very susceptible to directed magic, as this one is demonstrating. Unlike perhaps a dragon who in addition to resisting ambient magical fields ALSO possess incredible abilities to resist even directed magic, or the lowly human or even yinglet who possesses neither.

Resin Soaked Ran-bow

With a little bit of magic and a little bit of skill, it is entirely possible to preserve an individual indefinitely within a block of synthetic or natural resin... and with a bit of artistry atop, you can even sculpt it, as Ran is demonstrating here on their inexorable descent into being merely the core of an inert and rigid resin Rainbow Dash~

Technically a sketch, but wound up needing the colour to sell the resin effect ...

Fearsome Dragons

Quakie and Crim both truly wanted to join the Brood~

... but uh, they turned out a little different, these dergs!!!

Quakie wanted to explore dragon jewelry that's pierced into the scales, similar to Deathwing's armour in WoW and I had to give that a go... and they also wanted me to fuse their mouth shut! How could I say no to that? With purple eyes, a black dragon perhaps with a bit of white dragon ancestry, to explain the off-model colour. Honestly looks surprisingly good there...

… It’s just people turnin’ into dogs, mate.

Backlog work for Maple- a companion piece to Lenora turning into Chilli, which I had talked about with them several months back! The pose came to mind and Bandit was inhabiting my thoughts, so this is what happens. >////>

The dogs from this show just have an inexplicably GOOD shape, better than they have any right to be lmao. Reminds me of MLP in a lot of ways, on the face of it the designs of the ponies are patently bizar...

WIPs of Assorted Levels of Done-ness

Wanting to show off some various levels of art completion here, to show how I plan out drawings and refine them <3

  • Garbage Truck UDTF: Inked with the paper overlay, this doesn't have any colour yet for blush, etc... but quite a lot can still be conveyed without it! It's interesting to see lineart that is meant to have quite a lot of lineless detail below it, like the tire treads, shininess, transparency of the garbage bags, etc... but without those.

Sphinxes of Rizinia

A style sheet for the sphinxes that are in the webcomic Lenora and I have in the works, Shadows of Ramnus. Naturally sphinxes would show up eventually, but I wanted to try a bit of a unique take on them, with a focus on androgynous appearances for the human anatomy but dimorphism in the animal side, special tailored clothing that someone without thumbs could slip on and off, and very dry climate adapted wings and coat.

I won't reveal too much here, lest we spoil the story~!

Perfect Fit

Relative to a full grown Red Kangaroo... it turns out a little Marble Fox like Eventide fits PERFECTLY in my pouch.

I think I'll keep them~ <3

Continuing a small art dump of sorts, been a little while without content so I'm posting up a few things I've kept to the side so far. <3

This was for Eventide, of course haha

Compendium of Curses #001

Mortals, particularly humans, so unwise to the ways of magic in this world should perhaps take the oft given advice of staying home... keep to your village, your people, avoid magic and you will remain whole.

Should you choose to venture forth, understand that alterations may befall your precious form, especially for those who don't learn too quickly or act with caution.

Let this compendium be a warning... or perhaps an advertisement for what you might encounter in your travels. T...

Quick Update on Poll Frequency

I'm realizing that I may have been overly ambitious in doing two polls a week at the moment while still working on the backlog, and it's gumming up the works on both LOL

Lest I pileup again like last year, I'm going to say for now (until I clear up my schedule over the next few weeks) that I will be doing the polls every other week, just to keep this manageable.

Will go back to weekly before too long and Colour Polls #4 and #5, will be done next week. <3

Balancing Act

It’s never convenient when your entire reality starts shifting and leaves your body slowly warping minute by minute into a Vespa on top of some random parking garage… but it’s doubly inconvenient when you realize your kickstand is in the UP position and your new owner is nowhere to be seen…

Heck…

HECK!

📜 Written TF Ideas Poll 🪶

I'm thinking I'd like to work more writing into the mix, make that a bigger thing as it's something I can do when art isn't working for me on certain days. So I've just dumped a BUNCH of the story ideas I've had swirling around out here just to get a sense of what sort of them you all would want to read haha

Select any that sound interesting to you in written format, about the length I usually write 3k-10k words.

Sketch Poll #4: Fire Type Functionality

Would you look at that, been installed for a year and still working at peak efficiency! Cold showers are a thing of the past, and it hardly needs any maintenance. Securely mounted on, even with the bit of squirming it’s not going anywhere any time soon, and you’re going to save a ton on your power bills.

Honestly, just think of the functionality you could add to your home using Pokémon and Perma-Fusion Tape™

Sketch Poll #3: Ember’s Addition

Every so often a Draconequus needs to freshen up, you know?

Keep things interesting!

Sure you could just focus your chaotic magic and change your APPEARANCE… but if you do that? You’re missing out on some wonderful mana. You see, every magical creature in Equestria has it! And when you say, repurpose them, into more functional forms… as a PART of you?

That mana is yours now! Forever! Congrats. Extra power~

Colour Poll #5: Unconventionally Feminine Reality Shift (& YCH)

Behold six characters who express their femininity in fairly unconventional ways! Want to explore that a little via reality shift, and may do similarly next week with unconventionally masculine characters. <3

Hello everyone and all the new followers omg <3

Had a bit of a rough week last week, first half was not feeling well and it was cut short by a bit of travel Friday through the weekend, but you can expect the poll results from last week to come up tomorrow and Wednesday~!

Similarly, I have reshuffled the stuff I meant to get done last week into the schedule for upcoming weeks, if you would like a look at my tentative schedule the Trello is up and running.

Petrified Trail

Alright let’s see, gonna need to hop back to town and get a wheelbarrow or something! This one is gonna be a bit on the heavy side, I think. Shame the pose isn’t a bit more dignified, but whatever these lil plants at least smooth over those shocked expressions.

How’s it work?

Feck if I know!

But won’t it look nice in a garden somewhere? Or was it a museum…? Ah whatever, I just cash the checks, no bother to me what they do with ‘em!

Colour Poll #4: Partial Bird TF

This week is a little different!

I’ve been wanting to try mimicking watercolour with digital, so I’ve decided to do an homage to one of my favourite artists and big time influence- Peter Vos. 

He was an amazing watercolourist and early transformation artist (iirc started drawing TF regularly in 1960!) who was best known for his life long series “Metamorphoses”, which ill...

Colour Poll #3: Bird Problems (+ Alts)

Why did it stop…!?!

It wasn’t supposed to stop… something happened, seeming to leave you permanently stuck between states, mismatched body parts and an awkward blend of not quite Pokémon, not quite human. But just enough that people seem to be treating you as one anyway.

Wh - wait…

Is that a…?

No way.

Sketch Poll #2: Rear Ended

As if those huge feetpaws replacing your hands weren’t enough… just imagine that tail sprouting out of your tongue, stretching, filling, GLK…

Oh wait, you don’t have to imagine it do you? Because it’s really happening. In about ten short minutes all you’re ever gonna be again is a sturdy, springy, bouncy bouncy bouncy pair of haunches for a wild kangaroo.

Press those paws into the dirt, go ahead…

It feels so RIGHT, doesn’t it~?

Permanent Exhibit

In the latter half of the 19th century a distinct increase of individuals afflicted by ancient curses was documented, likely due in part to significantly more interest in the burgeoning field of magical Archaeology. For those unlucky enough to have been affected by the more draconian of curses, especially those who have essentially lost all agency as a result, a special commission with the intent of deciding how to handle them was formed around the turn of the century.

It was ultimate...

Colour Poll #2: Steamy

What’s it take…. to melt a dragoness? She must have turned the faucet a bit too hot in the locker room showers at the University. That’ll do it.

Especially where so many magic users are who like playing pranks.

I'm working through the backlog, have crossed two critters off the list and working down it one by one. Hope to have that all sorted by mid September.

I've found organization of my time to be key for success with everything going on, so here's how I'm working things out and a few announcements:

What could go wrong, leaving the new Automatic Perma-Fusion Tape™ laying around when having a bit of fun? Accidentally activating it?

Of course... a little late for you, isn't it? That tape wouldn't even peel off for six hours! Ah well.

YCH Question for Patreon 1st Dibs

Heya!

So I have a ton of unused sketches that I think are pretty decent, and rather than just make them myself again or random people, I figure I should start doing YCHs again. It's a pretty simple way for me to get art out to people who want it as well as work on ideas from my infinite pile. <3

I'd like to give my Patreon subscribers first dibs on them as a perk for subbing, but which way would you all like me to focus on to do that?
