Leaky Randall

Birds get really leaky in the spring time. A little doodle of Randall, just practicing the character.

Cobolt

I'm finally releasing my game! Game files for PC, Mac and Linux are attached to this post. Instructions on how to play are in the graphics above.

I'd really love to know what you think if you play it. Please leave a comment!

Background

This project fulfills a childhood dream of mine: to make a shoot 'em up spaceship game. I started one when I was about 10 years old in QBasic. Of course I never got it to work. Although hilariously, the one thing I did do was a lot of was th...

Megafauna - Ostrich Feet

I've had this idea for years now, of drawing an ostrich showing off his massive feet. Since I started doing this series I knew it'd be the perfect time to finally deliver on this pic, so here it is! Fun fact: if I drew Pulsar with bird-like feet this is the kind he'd have.

Megafauna - Ostrich Feet WIP

WIP for the next Megafauna pic. I've had the idea to draw some huge ostrich feet for several years now, and this project is the perfect opportunity to do it. So here you go~

Orca Swimming - Video Attached

Finally got this guy all rigged and able to animate! I thought it'd be fun to do a little swimming animation to get back into the practice of it. I'm pretty happy with how he turned out, although to be honest the rigging still isn't really done. (Is it ever?) I should create blend shapes for various applications, re-weight-paint some parts of the body, etc. etc. But I might move on to something else for now since I've been working on him for so long.

Now I have to decide what to do next...

Elephants and Serval

This pic ended up evolving significantly. After trying a few different things, I thought it'd be interesting to try making the pic feel more crowded by only showing parts of the elephants, having them pressing in from all sides. So you get more of an impression of them rather than seeing all of them. I don't push my images this way so it was fun to try.

It also occurred to me that it's rather similar to the original one with the zebras and lion. I realized I probably could've made the ...

Randall

Randall is a character I've drawn a few times before. (Previously he want by the name Kangae.) He's a bluejay hippogryph and (like many birds it seems!) also has a tendency to grow quite multi. He's double hung by default as well.

Over the years, his owner grew away from the character and had stopped doing much with him. I always loved his design (and multiness—I'm not above admitting my bias hah), so I asked if I could buy the character from them. Graciously, they agreed to just give...

Orca Physics WIP

See the vid attached to this post if you want to see the orca's junk flopping down.

This week I've been working on weight painting and rigging the orca model. It's been slow because I've needed to relearn or remember how to do a bunch of stuff. I think I'm just about done with the rigging though.

One of the things I wanted to try with this model was using more procedural physics to animate things like the junk or tail. (Unlike Pulsar's model where I animate every piece of it by ha...

KittyKage Cooking

Monday night I had a dream where KittyKage sent me a pic they'd drawn of their OC. It was so vivid and complete in my dream that I just decided to draw it myself. x) Here it is!

Megafauna - Camels 69

EDIT: I wanted to do a c∪m alt for this one too, so I added it.

I knew I wanted to do a pic with Camels, and after trying a few different things it ended up being this!

I've got three more pics / species I want to feature that I know I want to do for sure. And I might end up doing one or two more, depending on how things go. (There's one I've been trying to do since the very beginning and can't figure out what I want to do with it, haha. And the pic with the elephants has gone t...

Austin Foot Growth

Recently met a fan with a hyper cheetah character, Austin, who's got a focus on hyper feet. And I haven't drawn any hyper feet stuff in a while, so this was a good excuse! He's clumsysk8ter on FA

Quentin seems to be getting the hang of these changes...

I talked a bit about this in a prior comment, but I'll mention it here too. I knew from the start that one of the problems I'd need to solve with this comic was how to make the main character surprised and confused about the changes, but not have the inevitable sexual advances be unwanted. This is why having the main character be a hare works so well, as they already have a reputation for being so horny. This scene is an important...

Personal Update - Leg is Much Better!

This morning I got the staples removed from my leg which mostly brings this whole surgery thing to a close. The difference is unbelievable! My leg was already feeling better after having the plate removed; the chronic pain was gone. Now that it's almost back to normal the improvement is a lot more apparent. I was crying on the way home because how much it felt like it was this huge weight lifted. ;v;

I kind of wish I hadn't waited so long, but with chronic pain like that you tend to dow...

I Hate That I Have To Ask This

But here we are. Once again major platforms are deciding after building their success on the back of adult content that it's now time to ban it.

Patreon still allows adult furry art specifically, so for the moment I'm not planning to leave; I'll continue posting here regularly as I have for the past eight years as long as they'll allow it. But I think it's a good idea to at least start diversifying. 

I also strongly suggest that if there's any art you see on here that you lik...

Low Angle POV Meme

Apparently there's a meme going around where guys are looking down over their pecs surprised to see the viewer down there. I did the same thing, except of course with Pulsar it's him moving his dick out of the way. ;> Also includes an uncropped alt

Some days you find yourself in the kitchen getting coffee while still pulling the last few of your legs out of bed

This is a little doodle I did this week while feeling multi, and it's a little symbolic too. When you've got one bum leg you start thinking about how nice it'd be to dilute that one problem leg by having more and more and more legs

Personal Update + Plans This Week

My recovery is going really well so far. It's been a lot better than I'd hoped for which is great! But of course it's still a long process.

First I'll mention something kind of gross I found out at my post-op checkup last week. Because this was the third time I had surgery on the same spot, I've got a lot of scar tissue there. In order to ensure that the area heals up despite the scarring, the surgeon used staples rather than sutures/stitches to sew my leg up. It's like straight up Fran...

I worked ahead on the comic so I'd have pages to post while recovering. This way I don't have it hanging over my head this month.

The recovery is going well too, by the way. I'll post another update about that shortly and what I've got planned for this week.

Successful Surgery

Hi everyone! 

I wanted to let everyone know that my surgery went very well. I’m now home recuperating. I’m able to get around well enough with a cane and I’m on some strong pain medication that almost entirely eliminates the pain unless I put my weight on the leg. That should improve over the next week. I’ve already seen a huge improvement today from yesterday, so that’s really encouraging.

I’ve also had a lot of people asking if I found out anything more about th...

Surgery Tomorrow

This is just a reminder that I'm going in for surgery on my leg tomorrow, and I'll be taking the first week of March off to recuperate.

Thanks for your continued support as I get through this! I'll start posting regularly again the week of the 11th or the 18th.

Edit: Since Ive had a lot of people asking, I'll also try to post an update about how I'm doing a day or two after

Megafauna - Hippo and Mice

I'm finally picking up the Megafauna series again, after spending some time on 3D and working ahead on the comic. I knew I wanted to do a massive hippo ass. And I'd thought about doing mice and elephants together, but that seemed a little cliched (and I've done it several times before already). But combining the hippo and the mice seemed to work out pretty well! 

This one has quite a number of alts, including the hippo by itself, and the hippo plus mice in various positions.

Megafauna - Hippo and Mice WIP

Still got a few Megafauna ideas that I'm trying to get back to between other projects. Didn't mean to let it go this long, but I've been working on so much other stuff. (And not surprisingly, but still kind of frustrating, doctor's appointments have been taking up a lot of my time too lately.) 

Anyway, here's a WIP for the next pic, featuring a hippo. I didn't really want to include mice with elephants because that's kind of a cliched pairing that I've done several times before. Bu...

Yep, that's Chester from Horse Strength in the last panel. I gave him a cameo in this scene. I needed a large jock character for this scene, and he fits that really well. It also saves me the hassle of designing a new character from scratch. And he's a fan favorite!

Completed Orca Model

Here's the completed orca model! I finished the detailed sculpting on Friday and baked the normal map last night. These are a few test renders I did. I'm pretty happy with how he turned out! 

Next I plan to rig him and do some a short animation or two before moving on to the next character.

Now he needs a name I guess...

Orca Cock Test Render

Can I offer you a fat orca cock in these trying times? 

The texturing is coming along. Sculpting the normal map details is taking a bit longer than I thought it would, but I'm doing a lot more detail over the entire figure compared to Pulsar's model which was just has normal map detail on the cock and legs/feet. I think the end result will really be worth it.

I'm hoping to have a turn-around to show off soon. If I can get the texturing done tomorrow I can have that done next ...
