HERE ARE THOSE MID-MONTH ALIENS 💜

A fun fact about the Bruss is that they, like us, are distantly descended from a tree-dwelling ancestor! Unlike our tree-dwelling ancestors, however, that Bruss ancestor laid its eggs in knotholes and other small nests using an ovipositor, which Bruss today still possess, albeit vestigially. This vestigial ovipositor has to be relaxed and popped out in order for mating to occur, which can only happen if the individual is aroused and willing. 

Biology lessons aside, there are always...

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE IN JANUARY?

It's gonna be a whole new year! Your ALIENS are coming in a week or so but in the meantime, what do you want to see next month? 👀 

Once again, you've had KNIGHTS for three months in a row, so I'm keen to take a break for a month or two, lmao. If KNIGHTS win for a fourth time, they'll be getting the lineart piece rather than the exclusive and second place will receive the full colour piece. 

Thanks again for sticking around, and I'll see you next weekend with your ALIE...

DECEMBER 2023: SKETCH PAGES

The amount of fuckery I had to do with layers to get everything I wanted into this one without having to redraw everything over and over again, jesus fucking christ. 

56 layers, this one ended up with. Fifty-fucking-six.

AND HERE'S THE MPREG VERSION 💜💜💜

When our Cuckoo noticed his belly beginning to swell again, he'd supposed that this was simply the way of things now, that he could expect to bear a child every year, and he'd accepted it. However, making the long trip to see his beau, the Crucible Knight, would have been difficult enough in his condition without those telltale pains coming along when he was only most of the way there, and especially without their becoming so intense so quickly. By the time he arrives, he's been fighting back...

KNIGHTS III: RETURN OF THE CUCKOO 💜

Yes, this month's poll was a draw, but you guys seem to love this naughty Cuckoo Knight so much that I decided I'd bring him back for a third time. 💜

This time, our Cuckoo has come to see his friend the Crucible Knight. He's a gentle and affectionate lover, which is rare enough that it's worth the long walk to come and see him. They're both very eager to get down to business, lmao.

We're almost at the end of another year! Thanks again for your continued support, everyo...

IT'S FUCKING DEMBER. HERE'S THE OFFICIAL REPORT. 💜

I've got a busy weekend coming so I'll be brief! KNIGHTS and ALIENS have tied for first place, so when I come to sit down and get started on your exclusive this month, I'll be flipping a coin and you'll get what you get. One of those two will get the full colour exclusive piece, which will appear sometime between the 10th and the 15th, and the other will be the available-everywhere lineart piece, which will turn up the following week. 

Thanks so much for your continued support, and...

AND HERE'S THE MPREG VERSION 🥚

The Bruss mating season - colloquially called "The Season" - occurs but once every eight to ten years, after which they'll lay between one and four eggs whether they've mated or not. Rasima's juniors are now in their second season and, having been mated by him, are now ready to produce their first full-sized fertilised eggs, which are significantly larger than the unfertilised slugs they produced during their first season, when they went unmated. 

Having laid his own clutch quickly...

HERE ARE YOUR MID-MONTH ALIENS 💜

It's been a while since we saw Rasima! He's got a few novices serving as subordinates on his ship at the moment; in exchange for a place in his crew and the opportunity to learn from an experienced older Bruss, these juniors will allow Rasima to mate with them whenever he likes, and with The Season fast approaching, he's keen to give them plenty of attention. 💜 

This is a common arrangement in Bruss society, where attitudes towards sex, even public sex, are extremely casual. If ...

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE IN DECEMBER? 👀

You all know the drill; first place gets your full colour exclusive, second place will be the lineart only piece that gets posted everywhere. Every vote counts! 

Thanks again for your continued support, and I'll see y'all at the weekend with your mid-month ALIENS that you requested in the poll for November's content. 💜

AND HERE'S THE MPREG VERSION 💜

Once again our sweet Cuckoo Knight has found himself, after taking his Night Cavalry's seed for many months, distinctly round and heavy. He knows now that this pain means that he's about to deliver a child (or possibly multiple children), though he's still yet to understand how these children come to grow in his belly in the first place, and it's just as well that he has some idea of what to expect this time; his would-be lover is as disinterested in him as ever as soon he's got what he wante...

NOVEMBER 2023: SKETCH PAGES

Nice and straightforward again this month, lmao. Could've done myself some favours with a more detailed sketch but once again I was behind schedule. :')

TIME FOR KNIGHTS AGAIN 💜

Our Cuckoo Knight returns for another month. 👀 This time he's playing with a Night Time Friend who's a lot more assertive than his Tree Sentinel beau and a lot less attached to his horse. It's been tricky to catch him and even trickier to develop a bond with him - even now he doesn't seem to like our poor Cuckoo very much and will leave as soon as he's had his fill - but that's alright. By the time the Night's Calvary has got his, our Cuckoo is always more than satisfied. 💜

IT'S NOVEMBER 1ST! HERE'S THE OFFICIAL REPORT. 💜

As we creep ever closer to the end of another year, I'd like to thank you guys once again for your continued support! You guys make it much easier for me to prepare for The Holiday Season™ and to participate in it with a bit of dignity, so as always, I'm very, very grateful for every last one of you. 💜

Anyway! The news you're actually here to read is that KNIGHTS won the poll for November's content by a landslide, with ALIENS coming in second place, so it'll be your second round of...

AND HERE'S THE MPREG VERSION 💜

While it may be true that Slayer is perfectly experienced at exporting the new Pocket Class robots he's designed to produce inside his buffer, this is the first time he's ever given birth, and the boys from the office - and Beauty, too! - are all keen to help him deliver Manny's baby. 💜

He'll be fine, it's just going to take a bit more time and effort than a regular export would. :') 

HERE ARE YOUR MID-MONTH ROBOTS 💜

Specialist Class robots like Beauty (and, previously, Manny) are designed to interface with units much smaller than themselves. The big swellings at the base of a Specialist Class robot's, ahem, secondary port are there to ensure that it's a snug fit when it's inserted into the primary port of a smaller unit and prevent any potential leakage of chemical data during the transfer process. 💜

Slayer had become accustomed to Manny over the years, but Beauty's just a little bit bi...

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE IN NOVEMBER? 👀

You know the drill, first place gets the full colour exclusive, second place gets the lineart-only piece that gets posted publicly for everyone. 💜 Vote for the one you'd like to see in November, and if there's a tie, I'll be tossing a coin and you'll get what you get, lmao. 

I'll see you next week with your mid-month ROBOTS, and thanks again for your continued support! ( b ._.)b 

HERE'S THE MRPEG VERSION 💜

It seems something impossible has happened. 💜

Of course our Cuckoo Knight noticed his body changing, saw his belly growing and, more recently, felt the movement within, but how could he possibly fathom what's occurring? He feels fine, for the most part, if rather cumbersome and heavy, and so he's simply carried on as normal, including his regular visits with his Tree Sentinel friend. 

... What was that strange pain just now? Well, it only lasted a moment, it's passed now. ...

OCTOBER 2023: SKETCH PAGES

The armour in this one was elaborate enough to warrant my actually sketching it out in a decent degree of detail at least once. :') 

I have an intense love/hate relationship with the Tree Sentinel. 

HERE ARE THOSE KNIGHTS YOU ORDERED 💜

It took a while for this cheeky Cuckoo Knight to convince his Tree Sentinel beau that he wasn't a threat to be smashed and even longer to tentatively touch him, and even now the Tree Sentinel seems largely disinterested in him, but he does start to pay some attention once his cock is in the Cuckoo Knight's hole, lmao. 

Anyway, I hope you guys like filigree. I used to like it, too. :') 

IT'S OCTOBER 1ST! HERE'S THE OFFICIAL REPORT. 💜

KNIGHTS won first place in this month's poll by a landslide! You'll be getting some of those for your full colour exclusive, which will materialise sometime between the 10th and the 15th. 💜 Second place was narrowly won by ROBOTS, so the publicly-posted lineart piece will feature Beauty and his friends, and that'll turn up about a week after the exclusive.

Thanks again for your contined support, and I'll see you soon with your KNIGHTS! Take care, stay hydrated. ( b ._.)b 

AND HERE'S THE MPREG VERSION 💜

As if things weren't awkward enough given the knight's repeated failures to slay his quarry, the beast has now turned up carrying a litter of bastards that it claims the knight has sired. 

Whoopsie doodle. 💜

HERE'S YOUR MID-MONTH MONSTER/KNIGHT COMBO 💜

A knight was sent to slay a monster that had been causing havok in the region, killing men and sheep alike with a single bite from its massive, terrible jaws and effortlessly swallowing both whole. However, when the knight finally succeeding in tracking the "monster" down, it turned out to be one of those tricksy Endelochian demons, who promptly made himself just small enough for the knight to fuck and offered himself up, oozing pheromones. 

No monsters were slain that day. :')&nbs...

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE IN OCTOBER? :3

You know the drill, the first place result gets the full colour exclusive, second place gets the lineart piece that gets posted everywhere! Every vote counts, so go ahead and toss your hat in, and if there's something or someone specific you'd like to see, don't be afraid to leave a comment! 💜

Thanks, as always, for your continued support, and I'll see you next week with your KNIGHTS and MONSTERS! ( b ._.)b 

UH-OH, THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT. >:3

Seems Slayer's quick visit to Manny has had some unintended consequences - for both of them. Whoopsie doodle. >:3 

Yeah, you guys got bespoke art this time! Don't expect to get spoilt like this every month, lmao. 

SEPTEMBER 2023: SKETCH PAGES

These are super quick and dirty lmao, I bit off far more than I could chew this month and the sketches were, uh, not great! Which was a terrible mistake, because it meant the lineart took even longer. :') 

ROBOTS TIME >:3

It's not late!! ( b ._.)b 

Manny and Slayer were partners for a long time before Manny finally had to retire, and while Slayer is bonding well with his new partner, Beauty, he's still having a little trouble adjusting. :')

Beauty is lovely, but he can't take Manny's place in Slayer's heart. 💜

The vote for next month's content will be up shortly, and your mid-month piece, which is going to involve both KNIGHTS and MONSTERS, will be along next week! Don't expe...

PSA: THE EXCLUSIVE IS PROBABLY GOING TO BE LATE LMAO

Having sketched out the exclusive in full, I can now tell you that not only is it Large™ and Elaborate™ this month, but the mpreg folks are getting their own bespoke piece instead of an edited version of the NSFW piece. I have very clearly bitten off FAR more than I can chew and I'm anticipating that this might mean that the rewards for all tiers arrive late. They're also going to be largely unshaded. You'll understand when you see them, I promise. 

So like. Don't say I didn't ...

ALSO HERE'S A QUICK POLL JUST FOR THE MPREG FOLKS, LOL 💜

As the Niche Tier™ on here, I'm interested to know specifically what you guys want to see. This poll is multiple choice, so please select all options that apply. 

Thanks! ( b ._.)b

I'D LIKE TO SEE...

IT'S THE 1ST! TIME FOR THE OFFICIAL REPORT. ( b ._.)b

It's the 1st in the UK, anyway. For those of you in the US, you've still got a few hours to wait. The poll for September's subject matter is closed, is the important thing, so I can now tell you that ROBOTS won First Place and will therefore be your full colour exclusive this month, with MONSTERS and KNIGHTS having tied for Second Place and the publicly-posted lineart piece. I'll flip a coin when I sit down to draw that one and you all will get what you get, lmao. Or maybe I can figure some w...

AND HERE'S THE MPREG VERSION. >:3

While most of the work the boys in the office do - boys like Tom and Jasper - involves transcribing data from old formats into much more robust, long-lasting chemical data and storing it to keep it safe, a large portion of their duties involves producing new Pocket Class robots for the station's clients. It's an easy job that they can do while working on other things, after all - at least until the time comes to export the new robot, at which point it can become quite challenging. 👀
