I hadn't actually drawn anything by hand in years, so this took a little bit of getting used to, but damn is it faster than drawing stuff with Bezier curves on a computer. This only took a bit under three hours, and an actual majority of that was writing out the dialogue (a little under three hundred words, I think, that whole thing). It's a bit annoying having to deal with physical resources like lead, erasers, and the like, and having to be careful about not smudging the paper, but it has its upsides. I also did some cleaning after digitizing the whole thing, messing with the levels to improve the contrast and cleaning up a bunch of smudges and spots by hand to make it look cleaner.
I don't remember if I've ever said much about it here, but I really like monologues in porn, as strange as that might sound. This is a pretty extreme example, but I think it shows what I like about it rather well. Even with the fairly minimal imagery below, the dialogue creates a fairly cohesive scenario and adds weight to what's happening, alongside implying what happened before and what's about to happen afterwards. Me liking abuse of many sorts (verbal certainly included) also helps, since a few insults can get thrown in there. It does take some effort to write this stuff, not just because you want individual sentences to sound nice, but also because writing a fuckton of things makes it harder not to repeat words and phrases in an unappealing way. At the same time, you don't want it to sound like the character's reading out of a thesaurus. I worry I leaned a little towards that, especially towards the end, but my hope is that the sheer revulsion that it portrays in the speaker towards the one about to explode makes it digestible. It's also virtually impossible to plan out space for that amount of text, so I just had to start writing and hope it'd work out. You can tell that I hadn't really decided how to write the stuff in the first paragraph before moving to a more standard "consistent indented lines" thing afterwards to make the most of the space I had. My original intention was to have the paragraphs alternate being offset to the left and right, but I don't think I would've had room for that, even though it would've looked a bit easier to read than the wall of text it is now. Definitely easier to deal with when you're working with a digital medium.
The species, for those unaware, is
\n\t\t\t\t\tFirolina's scent dragons, an open species that I'm kind of twisting into a weird corruption of the original concept to make it mesh well with my own kinks. They naturally fill up to egregious sizes with eggs and milk (in the bellies and tails respectively), but there's never really been any implication of the possibility of one swelling to the point of bursting. I took that lack of mentioning the idea and turned it into "scent dragons literally can't pop (or so they say)", but know that that's something entirely invented by me. They said they didn't mind it the last time I explored this concept with the dragons, since it's an open species anyways, so I figure it's fine this time as well, but I do still find myself wondering what they think of such deviant things being done with them. Firo did draw one being a bit rapey once, to be fair, so one of them being this abusive isn't unprecedented (and I really do like the thought of one mistreating another for some reason), but it's definitely not the norm.I'm probably done with scent dragons after this since their kinks are a little tangential to my own and I suspect my audience is more interested in more conventional anthros, but I can't say I'm against the idea of more people getting enthusiastic about seeing them explode.

Wouldn't take much time to do, so I figured I should actually go through with drawing the bursting with this one. Only took an hour, anyways, plus some digital cleanup.
As far as I can tell, nobody else has ever drawn one of these guys exploding, so I'm happy to do so. I wish it could've been a bit better done, but I just drew this to have something to put on here while I'm working on something else of a higher quality. My usual workflow for drawing popping isn't very compatible with pencil and paper, so it was all kind of improvised. It was also something new drawing a belly at this size (which should've been bigger, honestly, but you wouldn't be able to see the rest of the body otherwise), and getting it all to make sense without fitting it all in the frame was another challenge. I'm not sure if I should've shrunk everything down a bit more to get it all visible instead, but I think this way's a valid option, too. I'm surprised I actually managed to fit the bursting tail into it, too.
Should also have more popping in my gallery in general. I've drawn it plenty of times, sure, but it's supposed to be one of the staples, which hasn't really been the case, in large part because I usually only draw it for sequences and I don't want to be drawing those all the time.
