Mamoo's Art Guide
Full Res Image
I wanted to do a piece to thank Tato for all their help. They are always so patient and kind to me when it comes to teaching me how to better my art skills.
Tato and I have become good friends. They have listened to my past and current situation, which has lead them to agreeing to help me learn art more and to sell our art as a team.
Short Explanation :
I was in a very abusive relationship, and the police/authorities have done nothing to help me. Though I have escaped living with them and have moved away, I'm still in the same city which has now caused problems. The abuser is claiming I was the abuser, has turned many people against me, and made me out to be an abusive stalker. Even though he had stalked me. Short example story of stalking, on my birthday, he must have stalked :linkvixyfox:'s work schedule because two minutes after she left there was a knock on my door. After looking out the peep hole to see no one I waited for my superintendent to come see what was up. He brought in a creepy note and gift from my abuser/stalker that was left outside my door. On top of that, my bio mother is also abusive and lives in the area. Used to call her for help and aid during very bad abusive fights and her helpful advice was to 'suck it up and deal with it, sometimes men be like that' and she has gas lighted me my entire life. So between all this living in this region has become extremely uncomfortable. I'm anxious any time I leave the house thinking my abuser might be there. I want to move so badly, but covid took my main source of income. So now Im turning to drawing for my income, and with Tatos and everyones elses help, I'm confident I can make and sell enough art to get to my new destination faster.
So if you ever get a stream from Tato and you have a bunch of red line sketches, consider coming to me to help clean them up like this, it will all help me move to a better home and a better life.
Anyways... I'm sure I'll talk about my troubles more throughout my time doing art here. I also plan on making a comic about it all.
I asked my Mama :linkvixyfox: to write a story for me to go along with this and she happily did.
I hope you enjoy the story!
STORY
There was a lot of hustle and bustle within the house as box after box was moved from within to the moving truck that was waiting outside. A couple of hired movers, a rather built Clydesdale stallion and also decently built German shepherd carried box after box out of the front door. Vixy, the curvy and chubbier mare vixen, was guiding the two workers to the different parts of the house and what boxes to take. In all the commotion, the little kitten fox Tiny was sitting a bit nervously in the now empty room of hers. She held onto her plush octopus named Squidums tight, nervous about all the noise and what exactly was happening.
\t“Mamoo, thank you so much for coming over. Tiny is up in her room. I hate leaving her alone like this, especially with it being such a scary time, but I need to help with getting everything packed up. Could you keep her company?” Tiny heard her mama’s voice from down the hall. The name perked her ears, her small tail wagging back and forth a bit before she looked up and saw the rather chubby cow poke her head in.
\t“Hello Tiny sweetie. How are we on this big day hmm? A bit nervous?” Mamoo entered the room and set a brown bag on the floor. The white and brown cow wore the same thing she always did, an older style German maid outfit, complete with bonnet over her red hair. She lowered herself down onto the floor to sit with the smaller kit. Noticing the little one hugging her plush toy tight and the nervous nod, the cow smiled and reached over to pet through the kits hair gently, “Moving can definitely be a scary thing. New and strange places, knowing no one. At least you will have your mama there with you who can keep you safe hmm?”
\tAs the hand moved over to pet through her hair, Tiny found herself shift back slightly before feeling the hand in her hair. She still had issues with others hands near her head besides her mothers, even though Mamoo had been sitting for Tiny since she was very young. Tiny moved closer though as Mamoo sat next to her, hiding herself a bit against the bovines side. She always knew how to make her feel safe and cheer her up. Tiny’s inquisitive nature led her to looking over towards the bag that had been set down. With a tilt of her head, she looked up to Mamoo, “What dat?” Tiny fidgeted with one of Squidums tentacles, looking back towards the bag.
\tWith a chuckle, Mamoo took up the bag and pulled out some paper and a couple of plastic containers. She set the paper down and a plastic container next to Tiny and one beside herself. Pulling out a small bottle of water, she opened one of the containers, “I thought you might like to do some painting with me today.” Inside the container was some simple colours and a paintbrush. Opening the other container, she set it beside Tiny and shifted herself down to lay on her front with the paper in front of her.
\t
\tA happy chitter came from the kitten kit as she lay down like Mamoo next to the paper. She took hold of the paintbrush and tried to rub it on the paint, but nothing happened. Confused, she tried again, trying to get paint on her brush. Confused, she looked up to Mamoo and tilted her head a bit, “I dun know, why no paint?”
\tMamoo couldn’t help but laugh a bit at the cuteness as Tiny tried to get paint without the water. She opened up the container of water, took her own brush and dipped it in the water before rubbing the brush over the paint, “You have to get it wet first, like this. Then you will have paint on your brush!” Mamoo gestured towards the water and smiled, “You give it a go now.”
\tTiny did just as Mamoo did, getting her brush wet and then rubbing it over the blue paint chip that was there. She watched as her brush got some paint on it. With a smile and giggle, she moved the brush to the paper and began to scribble some of the paint over the page. Her tail wiggled back and forth excitedly behind her as she began to stroke paint over the paper, watching the colour transforming the boring white page, “So neato!”
\tWith a bright smile, Mamoo took her own brush and began to move some paint over the paper as well. After a bit of them doing this, Mamoo began to draw out a figure on the page. She noticed that Tiny had stopped and was more focused on what Mamoo had been doing. The older cow smiled and gestured to the picture, “How about you try to do what I’m doing hmm? We will make a simple character together.”
\tTiny giggled and began to try and copy what Mamoo had been drawing. The lines were more jagged and rough, but the overall shape was there. Mamoo began to guide Tiny and showing her different ways to draw shapes and build characters with them. This went on for hours, the two using page after page.
\tA soft knock on the door brought both of their attentions up from the page they had been working on. There stood Vixy, wearing a pair of tight fitting leggings and a button up shirt. Her mane was a bit frazzled from all the work she had done, but she was smiling down to the two of them. “It looks like the two of you have been busy today. What have you been working on?”
\tAs Tiny saw her mama, she quickly began to get up, grabbing a couple of the pictures that she had done and bringing them over. “Mama! Mamoo and I were painting! Lookit!” Little hands brought the pages upwards toward Vixy as she bent down and took up some of the pictures. She looked over them, smiling and reaching down to pet over Tiny’s head gently, “These are beautiful sweetheart. You and Mamoo did a beautiful job on all of these.”
\tWith a slight grunt, Mamoo got herself up from the floor and moved over towards the two of them, smiling with a chuckle and a nod, “Tiny did a wonderful job and learned so much today!” The cow watched the mother and daughter moment, smiling happily before turning and bending over to clean things up from the floor.
\t“Mamoo! Can we do more tomorrow?” Tiny excitedly ran back over as the paints were closed up and put back in the bag. Mamoo stood with the bag in hand, looking down to the excited kit. A sadness came over the cow as she kneeled down, reaching out to touch Tiny’s arm gently, “Aw sweetie, unfortunately this is good bye for now. You and your mom are moving to a new place! This means I won’t be able to see you very much.” The cows heart began to break as the realization dawned over the small kits face. The cow dropped the bag she was holding and brought the kit in for a hug, feeling the small shudders from the little one as she cried.
\tVixy couldn’t help tears in her eyes either, watching as her daughter cried and hugged into one of her best friends. Mamoo was almost like family at this point, and now they were moving too far away for a regular visit. Vixy didn’t want to have to separate Tiny from Mamoo, but they were moving to escape a bad, abusive situation. It was heartbreaking watching her daughter lose her friend like this. “We will make sure to have visits when we can and have videos together okay sweetheart? This isn’t forever goodbye. Just for now okay?”
\tIt took a bit for Tiny to finally let Mamoo go, tears still falling down her cheeks as she looked up at the white and brown cow. Her voice choked a bit as she spoke, “I miss you.” Tiny grabbed Squidums from the floor where he had been watching, moving over to her mama and hugging to her leg. “I’ll miss you too little one.” Mamoo smiled and gave a slight wave as Vixy gave a last smile and led Tiny down the hall to the front door.
\tAs engines from vehicles outside roared to life, Mamoo picked up the couple of pictures that remained, making sure to bring them home to hang on her fridge. She never wanted to forget the little kit she helped raise, and looked forward to the time when they could meet again.
\tWith a soft honk of the horn, Vixy headed out from the driveway, waving to Mamoo as she closed up the house. She looked back to Tiny in the back seat in her car seat, watching her wave to Mamoo as well. The little kit hugged Squidums tight and cried a bit more. It took Vixy everything she had to not cry then and there, focusing on driving and getting them both to their new, better lives together.
