(NSFW) What do you do with one bed

While the polycule's been in Samsia, they've had to share one bed which has been both annoying and a great bonding time for them all :)

Sorry these sketches are so rough, I just wanted to get some practice out and also draw Lucian in other positions as a little treat. 

Eventually, Ixia will actively participate in his own way, but as of now, he's happy to just watch and support.

AND YES, I did give Lucian thigh highs just for that one drawing to avoid drawing feet <3...

Milf day

Happy mother's day to Lucian who I made round as hell and then gave twins in a fun little AU

This was a drawing for a friend who requested it haha but I do think it's fun sometimes to imagine how kids would look between characters. Vigil and Lucian's kids would be absolutely rascals and I'm sure Vigil would want a whole load of them. He lived a long time alone and now he'd very much like a large family. Lucian's doing all the labor here (literally) so for now he's happy with the twins h...

(NSFW) An Alternate Uniform

An alternate maid uniform equally as likely for Raffaele to give Lucian. Honestly, he probably gave Lucian both (and he's most certainly wearing it underneath the proper uniform).

As annoyed as he can be sometimes, he does actually enjoy the roleplay and gets into it a lot more than he'd admit. Though I think it'd be funny if he wasn't really all that great as a cleaner and Raff stops everything to genuinely help him out. Can't be helped that the man's used to easily accessible sprays a...

Belated Maid Day

I really wanted to get this out before the end of the day, but unfortunately I wasn't fast enough :,( But still, happy late Maid Day!! Shout out to my friend for suggesting the classic long maid uniform rather than the short ones you see so often. Honestly, I'm really vibing with it.

For some fun backstory: Raffaele called in a favor and had Lucian dress up for the day. How much cleaning actually gets done is up for debate. He's certainly put to work though.

(NSFW) Mermay 2023

Another drawing with Neptune for this year! Fun fact: he was one of two guys I had designed for NPCs but cut out for time. Maybe in the future I'll make a "DLC" side story where they show up. I never really did get to develop him much so there's a lot I could do. I think his story would be like the most normal ever. A much-needed vacation after what I have planned in the main story haha Also, idk I think it'd be nice to show how things function in the polycule when it comes to guys who aren't...

Round as hell

Lucian gets to be round as hell as a little treat

He'd be a good parent though! He's good with kids and he likes taking care of them. No idea how he'd be during the pregnancy. Feel like he'd fluctuate between feeling great and like nothing is wrong at all, literally glowing like this is wonderful, to actually having the worst morning sickness and symptoms ever. Checked the whole list and then some.

(NSFW) Short hair!!!

UPDATE: Finished the drawing and took the time to mess around with shading with whites. I struggle a lot with getting it not to look muddy, so I've been studying off a reference to get the colors more vibrant. Honestly, it's surprising how much depth is in both black and white fabrics in particular!

Here's a fun little drawing of Lucian with shorter hair! I've drawn him with short hair once before, but I think this style would be cute. I'd considered giving him a short hair arc for shit...

Birthday!!!

It's my birthday today which means I'm actually giving myself a break, sort of! I'm going to be chilling out most the day but I may finish up some work so I don't feel too insanely guilty haha.

I feel like somehow being in my 20s hasn't really sunk it. I still feel like I'm a kid and have no idea what I'm doing as an adult, but at the same time I'm perfectly comfortable traveling and doing taxes and shit on my own. Maybe that's more a testament to how much growing humans do, not just as...

NPC Modern AU Mini-Comic: Cognitive dissonance

I like the idea of FK somehow not being able to tell this is Lucian purely because he always sees Lucian in these really nice, fancy outfits that require a lot of maintenance because he tends to only take him to high-end places. Lucian's aware he has to make sure his image matches FK's and spends a lot of time to make sure he looks just right. That's not how he lives day-to-day of course, but he works it so well sometimes FK just assumes he must wear at least something similar in his...

Lucian, but it's actually HIS fashion

For as much as I love drawing him in pretty dresses and all that (and I really do love dressing him in them), those are 100% chosen by someone else and would never actually occur to him to wear until he gets a grasp on that sort of fashion. Before he died, he'd always wanted to wear cool techwear and streetwear stuff and had a mild sneakerhead phase. I genuinely do not think that man ever wore anything as tight-fitting or revealing as he has in this life. There must have been at least a dozen...

(NSFW) Fae Queen

Slowly going through and making designs for Lucian as different monsters haha. So far I've got beastkin (Ferret Lu), demon, and now faery. He's based off a queen yellowjacket wasp!

 I've realized each version tends to push some aspect of his personality further. This time around, it's the more dominating, somewhat more cutthroat aspect that I just haven't really touched on in the story, but eventually comes out when he's more self-assured. I think it's sooo cute though that he and ...

(NSFW) Is that all?

Quick drawing of Dax to remind myself of my roots (big power bottoms bullying their pathetic scrimblos)

I feel like I get so attached to the characters I work with the most that I forget how much I like all my other characters. Dax and Airymaya have been with me for so long that I forget how much I really love drawing them and working with their story. They've really grown a lot as I've grown, but the one thing that's stayed pretty consistent has been Dax's absolute overbearing, dominat...

(Suggestive) Step on me

Aaaaand here's the more suggestive version of this piece which just means Vigil has no pants. I think Raffaele deserves to have pants on still. I don't know why but he very much feels like the type to keep more clothes on haha 

I don't know why a pair of pants makes so much more of a difference to me with this piece, but for my own sound of mine, I did it so I can post this on my socials later. You can definitely expect some more NSFW work with Lucian in this get-up though. I want ...

Step on me

I've had this on the back burner for ages and finally finished it woo! Whose blood is on the floor? I don't know and no one needs to worry about it.

Anyways, I apologize for not posting too much this month. I was out of town the last week, but I'm back and hopefully making some more content!

Springtime vibes

It’s gotten warm and spring-y in Texas! So this month’s Patreon postcard is themed around that AKA an excuse for me to draw funny little blobs for flowers haha 

Ironically, I’m in Seattle right now to visit a friend and go to Sakura Con and it is mad rainy and chilly right now. Maybe this was also a little bit of wishful thinking wwww

Sakuracon Panel Comic Pages

Though I won't be doing a livestream version of this panel, I wanted to show the comic pages I made as part of my demonstration! There's some hopefully nice information even without the context of what I'll talk about. I did have to edit the page about censorship because, uh.. I was told it was too explicit (super valid just very embarrassed they had to show their bosses and ask haha).

But hey! If you're in the Seattle area and going to sakuracon, I'd love to see you at the panel even t...

Sketch Commissions!

Hi! I'm doing a few sketch commissions while I'm on break so I can keep a bit active with art and practice some less high-stakes stuff. Just to emphasize again, they will be sketches, so they won't be the cleanest or most refined pieces in the world.

Link here: https://ko-fi.com/poppypari/commissions

Depending on how this goes, I may add more slots!

Bouquet tier patrons can enter...

(NSFW) Lovebird

I've drawn ferret Lu a bit before, but what if he was like a beastkin and figured out how to turn back into a human, sorta.

Though Phoenix hasn't been formally introduced, I wanted to draw him doing what he does best, preening and spoiling the hell out of his partner. The bird instinct is kinda insane on this guy. Lucian's always appreciated it and figured it was like his love language or something, but being a beastkin reaaallly made him understand the extent of how much these casual d...

(NSFW) Everything's the same but Vigil's a twin

I've had this joke AU in my head for awhile and then some in the discord server indulged me so here we are haha, the idea's got a stranglehold on me tonight. Maybe I'll do more in the future. I think Chary is a funny contrast to Vigil. In this version, Vigil is even less talkative than he is canonically. He's a lot more wolfy in general. Chary's the one that does all the talking for the two of them, sooner to tell you what his twin is thinking than for Vigil to actually say anything himself. ...

New Chew Toy

A silly little drawing to advertise a new interest check with some updated info on the plushie Lucian dolls I've been trying to get made. After getting an initial sample from one manufacturer, I decided to try another one out and so far I've been really happy with it!! I also didn't realize just how condensed and adorable 20 cm would be. I got the old sample and he is just a little creature... I'm excited to get my hands on the new sample and show y'all! But for now, I'll include the interest...

(NSFW) Dresses

The most masculine thing ever is to get railed by your homies while you're in selkie dresses.

This was a bit of a stress relief haha Lucian's always fun to draw in pretty clothes, and even more fun to draw when he's getting railed. One day I'll be able to include it in the actual comic. I will be soooo insufferable then. Until that day, I have to make a reference sheet for everyone's dicks because I have not ironed out their designs yet.

Late Night Girlie

Quick drawing I did of the girlie (Lucian). It was meant to be a much looser drawing just so I could have a nice image for announcing my midnight panel at Sakura-con, but I got a bit into it haha I find the double colored rim light so fun ok!! Sue me, I am not immune to the bisexual lighting!!!!!

(Suggestive) Get a man that can do both Censored ver.

I actually really liked this drawing so I made a censored version real fast that's definitely still very suggestive, but don't worry about it haha

This is something I can post in public right? Oh gosh, my standards have absolutely been messed up now

(NSFW) Get a man that can do both

I saw a pose while on pinterest and was possessed to make an entire drawing because I'm insane and madly in love with my own characters (mostly joking).

But in all seriousness, I've had an itch to do this type of lighting again for awhile. Last time I tried, I miserably failed haha, but I think it worked out a little better this time? I'll need to experiment and mess around with things more. It's getting late so I stopped, but I may go back to this piece and just play with effect layers...

Finish tomorrow

I've been a bit stressed with the amount of work to be done in preparation for a trip I'm taking. Not just making sure I get my actual job done, but taxes and personal life medical stuff too. It's been a bit tedious and draining and left me with very little free time. I'm realizing I'm living a bit of a depressing situation at the moment waking up, working, eating a meal, and then doing more work every day with very little break. The breaks I do get I feel deeply guilty about so even when I h...

(NSFW) Yes they're at the desk again, they're workaholics

The only reason I don't draw any other scenarios is so I don't somehow spoil something haha, but also because these two are workaholics and are at desks of some sorts more often than they're near a bed. 

It's been sooo fun actually drawing FK in the comic though! I hope y'all have enjoyed him so far! Because you're going to be seeing him a lot haha!

(NSFW) NPCs Sketch WIPS

Just some sketches I've been doing in my off-time. I've been meaning to draw something with Ixia for a while now, especially after considering how his character has developed in the story vs my initial ideas. I def leaned too heavily into the idea that because he's ace, he wouldn't participate at all in any sexual aspects of the polycule's relationship, but that came from a pretty narrow concept of asexuality only reflected in my own experience with one friend. While Ixia quite literally has ...

A Lovely Walk

I am so deep into this period romance AU... what time period idek. Whatever alternate reality Bridgerton type novels are set.. just imagine that... One day I'll talk about it more in depth, but since it includes Azelthorne, I can't. 

I can say it's a very self-indulgent story of absolutely no consequence where the most drama to happen is what to wear at a dinner party. Just absolute fluff and filth as it should be.

And yes Lucian pretends to be Az's wife in return for getting...

(NSFW) Period Romance AU WIP

I would finish this but I'm a bit tired with it atm haha perhaps the one layer vibe does not work so well when there's a lot of clothing. I think I'll redo this and do some proper line art in some sections to fix things up, but that'll be a future problem for a future me.

I do have a new brainworm unlocked though and it's a period romance au I can't even talk about because it involved Azelthorne and that's a character for further in the future. Why did I make so many characters.. why is...

(Suggestive SFW) Valentine Pin-up

The SFW version of the Valentine's pinup, though it's still quite suggestive haha. As you can see, Vigil won quite overwhelmingly! I was honestly a bit surprised, but it also makes me happy that even with so many added to the cast properly, he's still well loved. He's not really much of a talker in the comic, but I do try to make his presence apparent.

I actually had a moment where I asked the discord server if Vigil would be the type to say the word "elaborate" and the consensus was a ...
