April progress(?) shots! (April 2023)

"Progress" is a fuzzy term this month.

You may have noticed I did a couple of one-shot, single day, borderline in-joke, meme images this month. I also dragged a while getting the "Bad End" ball rolling (part 2 wip included in this mix).

To balance it out, here are some of the more "refined" sketches I ended up making this month. No guarantees I'm going to continue progress, but it's much more likely I'll progress on these than some of the other stuff I doodled.

Ideas Monthly (April 2023)

This month was big catch-up month, plowing through a backlog since February. So far, I'm not falling behind yet. And I might start to get ahead soon.

Lots of fun lewddities to explore. And there are some alts in the zip too, so be sure to download the attachment!

Special thanks to my Ideators for the ideas I completed this month: Axil, Tina, Bingturong, and TFGuy67

The Bad End: First Page

Welcome to Lamina Zoo!

The "Madlib" words are marked in red and the winning option is highlighted.

Fanart...

A majority of folks didn't see the stream itself, and I have no idea the proportion of patrons on or off Discord. Patreon doesn't really have a "scrap" area, but it'd be unfair not to share.

[Poll] The Bad End: Page 1

And we're officially getting the ball rolling. Thanks everyone for your patience as I needed time to take care of some things. Here we begin to decide our second-person predestination.

There weren't a lot of patron responses for options, so I had to slip in some of my own to make an even five. I admire the directness of the responses I did receive (bet you'll never guess which options are ...

"The Point of..."

Sure, everyone talks about about the point of no return, but they don't stop to acknowledge the upsides of no return:

That brief window where you get to pretend you got to know a were-lizard with no consequences, the olive skin tones, the funny aftertastes, the part where you get some privacy as people try to avoid you, and the part where you're not worried about a lot because something else is temporarily doing a lot of the thinking for you.

And then you wake up...

Smarch shots! (Smarch 2023)

Works-in-progress are um... well... they require explanation, I suppose.

Lamina Zoo is, of course, our beginning to the new CYOA misadventure, but the other images...

No, I don't feel compelled to explain them.

Thicc crab will get a less-thicc rendition and both will get posted around eventually.

( You'll notice there is a specific lack of a particular sequence from last month's batch. Give it time... it's almost a full moon! )

This month was super woozy, and I still have a queue! I'll probably need to play catchup (or ketsup), but I do have some time to do so.

"The Bad End": Madlibs Form

This form is available for all patrons. Feel free to add any wacky, insane word you'd like. I don't plan to use all suggested words, but I plan to put them all into a list and pick at random.

I intend to keep the form open for as long as the story gets built out (and will make the link more readily available on Discord). However, if the form gets abused or if I get a feeling it's been leaked outward, I'll just lock it and create a new one.

"The Bad End" planning and developments

I know. Reading text is boring. We're getting there...

I've been hugely occupied for a while with life things, and it's made it tough to start this next big project. I feel like this CYOA story could take a year, but only because of slowness. I promise it won't be without a lot of "other" arts in between.

I'm going to make a "Madlibs" form available to all patrons soon, to keep story elements open and interesting. Expect it to be pretty randomly sporadic, but it should be a fun l...

The Bad End: We're going to The Zoo!

Wow, and I thought the result from before was staggering!

I haven't fully decided on the title for this story that we're building out, probably best left for the veeery end, but the original prompt was "Escape From XXXXX" (which is now the zoo). The Zoo opens up a lot of possibilities of wild encounters, and I feel like UDTF will be something like... a main attra...

[Poll] The "Bad" End : Setting

This next poll will decide an overall place and theme to the sequence, which will run as a constant in the background to give the main character's ultimately stinky downfall a grounded reality.

Due to some really great setting suggestions provided by patrons, there may be a lot of really great set pieces to throw in and base decisions from. An extra win!

I'm trying to get these surrounding elements decided up front so that we have a good base for our misadventure.

The "Bad" End : First Poll Result (and minor delays)

For the first poll, I gave patrons options about if they wanted to change anything about where our flatulent failed escapee ended up on his new body. I wanted to make sure to give the most patrons something that they wanted.

The results were in, and quite a decent majority wanted the classic "assic" of the original. This is also a good excuse to unveil a (small) piece of promotion for the overall project.

Febrooary Snapshots!

Unfortunately, "forward progress" on personal works has been a bit lacking this month, or at least how I would normally define it. I made a Mewtwo, and made some very Roo'd sketches go out.

I've lately started relying on spare time within streams to make personal work, due to a larger number of incoming sequence commissions and a lot of outside stuff sapping time away from the fun side of art. I'm happy to say at least I squeezed a little time on the "Point of" series last stream (the w...

Ideas Monthly (Febrooary 2023)

Years in, I'm starting to realize I probably should have included the prompts on each of the images somewhere, but perhaps it's more fun trying to guess what was requested. Some scrapped sketches at the end, but in a good way.

This month was a double doozy, so now I have a queue. All is whole again.

ROOary Feb

At the posterior end of "Febrooary", I feel it's only natural to get these outward, even if only sketch. Trying out Backwards TF is fun, and I hope to get moor experimental over time.

I don't often put deliberate sketches out into the void, but hey... Febrooary.

Patrons get first dibs, of course! Be sure to grab the attachment for bigger res and just one more sketch!

Bellyated Beauty Shots

This one had a funny process, as it was all done in one stream, broken up. The first sketch shows there was going to be more to the picture, but it was immediately scrapped when it was clear (to me) that the image was getting too complicated and confused.

Second is actually the first "finished" version. I wasn't happy with how rushed it was and I knew I'd have to give it another pass. Luckily, whatever else I was doing in stream was either finished or put on pause, which lead t...

Happy Belated "Belly", Mewtwo!

Yes, I do tend to give her/him/it a rather 'gremlin' smile. This actually got out around February 6th (canonical birthday), but I've just been bad at juggling.

The "Bad" End - To Which End? [Poll]

So, we're starting off with a little bit of a cheat. Well... more a concession. I said that we know the bottom half and what it will look like, but I want to make sure we get the best 'bottom' for patrons.

On my Discord, a few times, I was fielding some preferences between ATF, CTF, VTF, etcTF, so... here's an opportunity to pick out a favorite, for this story in particular. It's also an opportunity to deliberately not pick things you find icky. As with any democratic process, I can't g...

The "Bad" End - Beginning Stages

It's been almost half-a-month. So... it's been a while!

I'll be direct. It's still not a great time for the 'Roo to rush into a new thing. It's a busy time handling commissions and job hunting, and that's taking up a large portion of my time. I'm hoping for things to calm down starting mid-March, but I'm not sure...

However, that's no reason not to go forward slowly. Patrons deserve good projects, even if it needs to take longer. I'm going to start off by setting up a first poll a...

For those wondering about the next big patron project...

Yeah, I did kind of taper off after "Portal Pants" and I haven't held a poll yet. Personal job hunting stuff has gotten in the way, and I need to catch up with commissions.

Sketches and work-in-progress shots still continue monthly. You should see posts already (I hope).

Once the project ball starts rolling again, I'm planning the next big thing to be a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure style sequence, basically exploring the long path of a single, fake, View Post

January Progress Shots!

From weenies to pouchies, progress through random pieces throughout!

The largest project, Pouch Pills, was surprisingly completed this weekend, but I've been hard at work both in and out of streams over the month. Commissions are still progressing too, so it's a mixed bag.

I'll continue to focus on "The Point of No Return" from time to time, whereas the roo UDTF one may need more time to cook as I conceptualize what my goal is exactly. That one in particular is a little rough beca...

It's the beginning of the year, and we started with a clean, empty queue. These two ideas spurred into very massive comic ideas just off the sheer oddity and fun of drawing the concepts.

Pouch Plus! WIPs

I kind of had to cheat the progress images. Not that this wasn't a process, but because I was really bad about keeping track of it.

However, it's notable that the pouch became less sinister and more... oblivious as time went on.

Portal Pants Progress Shots

Some artist notes (and whining):

Portal Pants went through few refinements, though it was mostly about building the scene and learning to use Clip Studio for lining.

Clip Studio also doesn't seem to have a good "copy selection" or "copy image to clipboard" function, mostly relying on Windows having the feature, I guess. It's an annoyance, but it does mean I'm forced to save progress to files directly. Win-win...?

By far, it's way cleaner and easier to use the pen in...

Portal Pants: The Sequel

If you've watched my art streams as of late, you've already seen the next big Patreon follow-up. Tie-breakers are always an undefined situation with polls, and I couldn't do both images on time for the holiday.

So, as a runner-up reward, I followed the other winning "White Elephant" gift with a January sequel. I don't plan to do this with every tie, but I'm happy I found the time this time.

I decided to go the 'lined' route, as it's been a while since I did a line-art with all lin...

New Year, Plus One Week!

I realized I usually make new year's posts on Patreon here, and it's a little weird to accidentally forget. This is also a bit meandering, just to give speculation on what I'm up to next.


I already made one rather large sweeping change in October, and I don't intend to make any further Patreon changes like that. Moving from monthly projects and polls to the it's-done-when-it's-done project schedule has been a much needed relief and it gives me a chance to br...
