Bit turns 1 year old on Friday!
PV02 is finally back! https://www.pv02comic.com/
Comic will be live Sunday!
Commission for Ruby!
Hey, the poll for November is up! https://forms.gle/54qsCXgA21KXLmk76
Voting will end on November 8th!
Comm for Yobie, and some sketches from tonight
The patreon art folders have been updated! You can access them by clicking here.
So, I'm doing a small redesign for Pivot. It's not huge changes, but some things of note:
ANYWAY, that aside, there's also two sketches of Stocking I did. Cause I felt like it. Very NSFW, check downloads.
AND NEW VIDEO GOING UP TOMORROW!
Premiering at 1pm PST! Cesil falls asleep on your chest.
I don't know WHY I didn't think to share this already, but it is content I made. The video series I did for CSP is going up, with one video each week! You can watch the series here, and check it out each week to see the next part of the tutorial!
For the tutorials I walk throw reanimating a scene from Hiro the Dense. It looks so much more alive in the reanimated version--that's the difference between spending a few hours on something versus just 10 minutes, lmao.
Kept you waiting, huh?
this is less a preview and more just a confirmation that, yes, PV02 is returning! I'm gonna try and keep ahead of my schedule by a few updates. I have updates 139, 140, and 141 all planned out atm, and the lines for 139 are ready to go. (I had finished em right before contract work hit.)
Comm for Salty of his 6'4" robo-girl, and a sketch of some Curly BE. I'll probably do a full real version of that later.
IN OTHER NEWS! My contract work might be done! Just waiting on approval for the final video. With that, I can FINALLY get back to work on PV02!
New video going up on the 31st! No early access for this one cause in particular I need to wait til Halloween for it.
Cesil is cute.
i didn't expect to stream tonight but my schedule opened up so I did and I barely did anything
here's some snakes
A few milestone rewards for toxicsnivy and carby, and a concept for a snake girl character for some isekai visual novel or something idea that I wanna do in the far future.
a PSG animation, inspired by this pic by SataenArt
Another commissioned work! The same 3 porcelain ladies from before, this time in an 'interesting' pose.
The zip includes the above wallpapers as well as Individual variants and full res versions.
just some post stream doodles
Shantae!
The lighting here was hard to figure out but I think I got something I'm happy with.
Loads of variants! Succubus was only ONE vote ahead of witch, so I did a witch variant as well.
The shading on the shantae pics was giving me an incredibly hard time but I finally figured out something I like.
Also, halloween-themed reward for Aura!
Succubus and witch Shantae! both options were off by only 1 vote
Trying to pace myself cause i don't wanna burn out working on this and i need to see if i can spot any anatomy issues
Also, remaining palooza submissions from last month, and a birthday doodle for Miko
Public version of the Witch Socket post!
You can get it as a poster here! https://crowdmade.com/collections/zedrin
Just a reminder, the poll will be ending on the 8th!
Also, if you wanna suggest any characters for next month's poll, comment them below!
Patreon reward, also a variant of SUCCUBUS CESIL OOO ANOTHER SPECIES SWAP
Patreon request by Fel! I got really into it so I did it up super nice.
Wallpaper version in the comments!
UPDATE: significant anatomy fixes, also gave her an optional undershirt.
WP versions are wallpaper formatted.
Didn't really know what to draw tonight, so I went with Gardevoirs.
Marissa wearing glasses, and also Lucyfer's trainergarde.
I'm changing up how I handle nominations and polls. There were a lot of complications last month with nominations--the process from the start has been a bit messy, and engagement was low. (Only wound up with 6 options and 100% of them were OCs--not that I'm against drawing OCs, but it'd make the poll feel a bit... stacked, and would leave people unhappy.)
I also don't want my own OCs to dominate polls. SO, a few things that I'll do differently:
For the first month, I had to choose the characters myself, so I went with some more iconic options I've drawn in the past. The options are Stocking, Curly Brace, Etna, and Shantae! Next month will be based on suggestions!
The deadline to vote is October 8th!
Also, if there are characters you'd like to see for next month, mention them in the comments!
The archive's been updated! Apparently I forgot to included August's pics at the end of last month too.
You can access the archive by clicking here.
Commission for Rick.
And then some after I threw in a few variants. :v
Some good ol happy sex.
The long gif is 15 MB so I didn't put it in the preview, but it's in the downloads!
redid Mimi's ref finally, and did a small comic of her and her father giving a bit of succubus lore.
Also a doodle of Lucille. When your tiddies are so big that you can give someone the option to plow your puss or your tits from the same position
WP of Lucille in a cowkini, and several patreon chibis! If you missed the last post, it has a link to the form to submit them. I was able to get through all that were submitted.
I may call upon it at a later point for more warmups, so don't hesitate to submit to it, even though the deadline is passed.
ANYWAY. Have a wallpaper of Lucille wearing an iconic piece of swimwear.
Poll winner Pivot, Patreon reward for this month of Click, and... something new!
Basically, how this'll work: everysupporter has a chance to submit characters to a form. They can choose one of the 5 poses presented, and I'll go through and try to do chibi doodles of most if not all of them. You can access the form here: https://forms.gle/U7b9MRNmQ8PEfDc9A
Be sure to read the instructions! And do note that this is a patreon/subscriber only thing!
ADDITIONALLY! For the $10 patrons, poll nominations are going on now. If you'd like to nominate characters for the poll, make sure your account is synced to Discord so you can access the channels! I'm going to handle them in Discord from now on, cause that can make things more of a discussion, and it's synced to both SubStar and Patreon.
also uh shitpost hooters
So, just to give a little rundown on my current schedule and life stuff:
On a more personal note, my depression has been fluctuating between manageable to very deep. I'll be fine, but it has been really bad as of late which has been periodically killing my will to work on things. (On top of the usual insecurities, my girlfriend was supposed to come visit this month, but that fell through due to COVID.)
Anyway, just dropping an update so ya'll know what I'm up to.
Bit in a certain swimsuit design, patreon reward for Fel.
In regular and 'big' variants.
In other news it's my birthday in just over 2 hours and I'm not looking forward to it.
Reward for Delta of MGE's Shoggoth, a warmup of upside down nipslip Cesil, and a WIP of a pic of Bit
lot of rewards this month
Got a grab bag of stuff tonight.
Warmup memes ft. Akane and Lucille, a patreon reward of Steel Angel Kurumi (I THINK I did the 3D glasses effect properly), and a commission for Fel of his garde, which has one of the IMO best asses I've ever drawn.
Milestone rewards, a doodle of Gaia's gardevoir, and some finalizations to my new garde OC (who I've named Lucille yes another garde OC fite me)
My birthday's on the 15th. I feel old.
The poll results are in, and (unsurprisingly) it looks like Pivot won! That pic will be done this month.
For future poll nominations, I'm going to organize them through DISCORD. The polls themselves will be through google forms as usual, but Discord will allow more discussion and an easier time for seconding any nominations.
I have sent out milestone notifications to applicable supporters. There were about 6 this month.
This month I plan to wrap up most of my contract work with Celsys. I have roughly 3 more videos to make for them, each one will take maybe 1-2 weeks for me.
I was originally going to start chapter 8 of PV02 this month, right before my birthday, but there's something I absolutely want to make sure I can finish by the time chapter 8 closes. Personal life events have also made it harder to work on the comic and everything. With everything going on, PV02 is going to be on hiatus a little longer. I want to build up a cushion of updates before I restart it, in case I fall behind. (I also heavily wanna rethink some aspects, like the city itself.)
As far as art this month, one thing I think I may do is have a free-for-all submission form to do another round of small supporter OC doodles, like I did for the discord. This wouldn't be discord-specific however. (No promises on this as other tings have a priority.)
Thank you all for supporting me!
Drew some Twitter mutual OCs. These'll be going up over the next week.
very cute
asked mutuals for OCs, only actually received a handful, so I drew all the ones I got.
color coming soon.
The poll nominations are in: you can vote here!
The nominations were honestly a little rough this time around--switching to a detached system made it hard for people to edit results, collaborate submissions, and get any form of consistency.
So, for future nominations, I'll be orchestrating them through my Discord server, which is shared between Substar and Patreon. For now, I did the best I could to piece out the top 4 nomination options, having to put in a little bit of fiat myself.
Go vote!
Did a HUGE round of requests in my Discord server. (Available to substars and patrons both!)
Did all these in one sitting. I draw at approximately 13 WPH (waifus per hour)
Now if you'll excuse me I need to rest my wrist lmao
If you're in the $10 or higher tiers, you can nominate characters for the poll for next month! Remember, you can nominate a lot more chars than last few times, and you can see the results if you want to edit your own! https://www.patreon.com/posts/character-40618823
Additionally, just asking for the general patreon: What are some kind of animation gifs that might be fun to see? I kinda wanna do a few more "good girl" gifs, like with Akane, but a lot of them would work better as comics. I'm leaning more to r34 for these.
Additionally, for my next major project over on YT, I'm planning to do one of the following:
I'm also open to suggestions and feedback, however, based on what people would want to see.
As soon as I hand off this contract work, I'm planning to start chapter 8 of PV02 as well, so expect that in September.
Some draws of Marissa and Cesil.
Call her a good girl and watch what happens
Patreon has finally launched annual memberships! If you plan to stick around for a while, an annual membership allows you to subscribe for a full year at a time.
For pledging for a year, there's a discount applied, since you're paying for 12 months at a time. It also batches all your payments which helps to reduce fees. for everyone involved.
I know a few people were looking forward to this feature, and I'm glad it's finally here.
I need to find out how it interacts with tier changes (e.g. if you wanna upgrade, if you can just pay the difference for the remaining months, that'd be ideal) but for now, if you don't plan on changing tiers, and you plan to stay pledge for a long awhile, this might be something for you!
Decided to draw shorthair / tomboy Curly Brace. And did a few unga bunga edits.
+ flat color version cause i like the simplicity.
Redesign of my character's outfit for a Pathfinder game. She's a rakshasa tiefling sorcerer.
Now level 15!
Did an animation of Zee (and then edited to be Akane) giving a big tiddy paizuri, with bonus milky versions.
Happy Paizuri day y'all :v
Hacked 3 is finally released in full! You can watch it at
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/762626?updated=1597267993
https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=ph5f344a21e0bc1
Tell ya friends!
Cesil has claimed a victim. For whatever horny reason she needed his seed, so she used a few 'enhancements' to maximize output.
Coulda probably just asked but.
ANYWAY made this cause apparently Paizuri Day is the 13th!
Bit plays DND for the first time (patreon poll), reward for Calvin of his birb, and a redesign of Mithera's outfit now that she's entering higher level play.
Some doodles from tonight, grabbed chars from the discord server.
Rewards for Fel and Hiro Azuno, and some doodles of names I use for different body types
Patreon reward!
This month's voted art will be Bit experiencing DND for the first time!
For future polls and nominations, I'll be using google forms so that way both substars and patrons can access the same poll.
New video! A review of the Innovator 16 graphics tablet!
SO, some stuff regarding subscribestar, just in the event anyone switches over to there:
The lower tiers ($2 and $5) are priced slightly higher than on Patreon. The reason for this: Patreon allowed me to keep the old model, where I could batch my payments for fees. I've always been on the hook for payment processing fees as well as platform fees.
On patreon, this is 5% for platform, 2.9% + $.30 for payment processor, batched.
On subscribestar, this is 8% for platform, and 2.9% + $.30 for payment processor, per *payment.* This winds up crippling smaller pledges.
For an example, this means that a $2 tier on Patreon sees a fee for me of abotu $.12-$.20. On Subscribestar, it's $.50, or 25% of the entire pledge.
However, it's on a individual cycle, so if you pledge on the 10th, you are charged again on the next 10th, rather than having to watch to make sure you don't pledge right at the end of the month.
There does seem to be one issue with changing tiers: according to two people so far, changing tiers causes you to be charged the full price of the new tier, rather than the difference. This is NOT reflected in my earnings however. I'm emailing SS about this to find out where the original payments went, to see if they're refunded, if they'll show up later, or if SS just pockets them (worst case scenario). I'll work out something if stuck witht he double charge.
I'm also trying to figure out the milestones and how to handle them. Subscribestar currently doesn't track individual supporter analytics it looks like. I'm still trying to figure out the nuances of the system overall, bear with me.
IT'S DONE
Laharl has nightmares about his companions and self.
Enjoy, with two different endings!
The archive has been updated with July's works!
As usual, this means that the link has been reset!
HACKED 3 IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR PATRONS! You can view it by clicking here!
Do note to view you may need to access it from a computer.
Finally released! CottontailVA did a stellar job with the voice acting.
ALSO, with this, I have an announcement! I have also started a subscribestar! Patreon and SS will have parity with one another and will see the exact same posts, so there's no need to move your pledge--it's more for the people who don't want to / can't use Patreon (and because I really don't like having all my eggs in one basket.)
I know you all are familiar with how tumultuous this project has been for me, and I thank you all for that.
This is the Patreon release as well, so if there are any last-minute errors (such as with the credits), let me know and I'll change them prior to doing the final render!
Don't fucking Awoo.
The fine is your life.
Decided to completely redraw this and I'm glad I did.
Another WIP update! Page 1 is done. Deciding to monochrome it.
Went through and did the paneling and did the second pass on the sketchwork.
The nominations are in, time to vote!
You can vote for multiple entries too.
Actually had a 4-way tie for the 4th option so I chose just one of them.
I needed something to draw for today's stream, so I did Momiji in a suit with an odachi katana.
HACKED 3 IS NOW FULLY COMPOSITED! It has been sent out for audio dubbing. As soon as Cottontail gets back to me with the voice lines, I can send them off to strelok as he can mix everything down.
With that, there's something for the $5 and higher tiers:
If there is anything that's a concern, please message me by SUNDAY! I'll be gathering the names, and putting together the credits, etc. on Monday.
I can rerender before the final release to fix errors (like I did last time), but I'd like the initial patreon release to be as accurate as possible too!
UNRELATED, forgot to mention, the nominations for character polls end Sunday too! Go add your nominations or vote if you're in the $10 or higher tiers! https://www.patreon.com/posts/august-character-39392217
These are all done! HOME STRETCH! Just need to composite, audio, and publish!
The aftermath basically goes like this:
"So, what did you think?"
"Amazing. Also I can't feel my dick."
"..." *nervous sweating*
I'm glad I decided to do these. I think they add a lot.
just some bday sketches for some friends.
You can watch it over on my Newgrounds
Just wanted to make a public announcement, so follower non-patrons can see, and so y'all can tell your friends!
Part 2 will be complete soon!
so i think ima actually do up an intro. just storyboard style.
Probably will do vocalizations for the voices instead of full voice acting.
12 panels in total, in addition to finishing the animation work for hacked 3, I was able to get 4 panels done.
PART 2
i think i'm gonna make this a comic
EDIT: also a part 3 woops with an alt ending (nsfw)
Forgot to post this preview--this marks another shot done! That leaves me with the final orgy scene.
Looks like hacked 3 is gonna be 2 parts total, 3 scenes each.
I'm still wondering if there's any way for me to work in any writing / script in there, without adding more work.
patreon rewards!
I like how that monika pic came out.
Decided to tweak a few animations, extend things, and add a few transitions.
I like the hand motion I did to transition to the 'faster' mode, and the transition before the ejaculation loop.
Also the ejaculation loop feels a lot more forceful now IMO. Before it was a continuous but fairly liquid stream, now it's like a repeated pulse and is very sticky :v
Think it'll largely just be split into part 1 and part 2, 3 shots each. What's left for part 2 is this scene (done), two curlys on quote (face sitting + cowgirl, they're making out on top of him), and the group scene at the very end.
Pardon in advance if you get two posts about this, looks like I can't embed mega videos directly.
BUT YES! HACKED 3 PART ONE IS FINALLY AVAILABLE!
For $5+ tiers, this isn't the final version that'll go live, as I'm gonna remove some of the watermarks when that time comes. If you do not want to be included in the credits for the public release, please message me so I can remove you.
With that, this chapter is finally complete.
WOO MAN that was a long one.
Will be live on Sunday! https://www.pv02comic.com/
Kinda been quiet for a few days, working on this week's webcomic update, but some other news!
-HACKED 3 (part 1) IS NEARLY READY TO GO! Strelok's putting the finishing touches on the audio now. Shrinking down the video sizes really has made it less stressful to work on. Which is weird cause technically it's more work over a longer period of time. Shorter term commitments help I guess. I'll have a post going up soon for $5 supporters to check the credits.
-I've been commissioned by Celsys to make some official animation tutorials for Clip Studio Paint!
I feel like I've maybe mentioned these things before.
-I may have another tablet review coming.
-I've also got a few milestones to do this month, so I'm working to get those done.
sorry the past few days have been a bit slow.
chibi doodles, patreon request from Salty based on an idea I shared a few days ago, and more sketches.
The poll results are in for July! Looks like Izilith wins again.
I have sent out messages for new milestones too, so if you got a message from me, you're eligible for your reward! As a reminder, it can be 1-2 characters from any permissible sources, with the level of detail varying with the complexity of the request. (E.g., two chars is likely gonna be flats, one would likely be shaded, depending on designs.)
Additionally, I am looking into VA for Hacked 3, and have the timing for part 1 totally set. At bare minimum, part 1 will be ready to go by the middle of this month.
And lastly, I have been contracted by Celsys (Clip Studio Paint) to design them a tutorial series, so I'll be sure to post more info on that when it's out!
I want to see how much people were paying in sales tax for their pledge amounts, and see if I entered in anything wrong / can adjust anything to reduce the sales tax.
i was in a mood for some degeneracy so I borrowed Rosebud's Lee.
I wanted to do lewds of a cute character, but specifically one that's more cute-centric than lewd centric, and not one of mine. And Lee is perf for that.
also, have a BG test of hacked 3 part 1.
Click the link below to access the archive!
finally getting back to work on this.
Focusing JUST on the first scene, in total there are about 1700 frames, which is about 70 seconds of animation before any additional loops I do.
I've added in a few extras: small transitions when climaxes starts (e.g. the Curlies being surprised by it) and a unique climax for the shortstack where the other two squeeze her boobs hard against Quote's dick, milking her in the process.
I've also done some lighting effects which wound up not being too much for TB: a color curve to make everything 'dark', and then glow effects for the eyes and fluids to make em stand out and look more eerie.
I'm not gonna touch the other scenes until this one is done up with audio. I just need to do the background, maybe loop a few things / time things out in my video editor, and then get the audio. I don't want to deadline myself but part 1 should be ready to go sometime in July. I plan to break this up into probably 2-3 parts.
Izi in a sundress, Bard's Amelia, and a lineup of robutt.
Polly for July! There was a tie at the bottom so both options are included.
Also, I'm doing multi-vote this time: you can vote for all option you want to see, rather than just one. We'll see how this goes.
Vote for the options you like, and the one with the most votes will get drawn! Voting ends on the 3rd!
I haven't done one of these in a while.
Here's a survey! You can use this to tell me what you like, dislike, want to see, etc. about my page.
It's mostly free responses. I'd appreciate any responses. Feel free to be as honest as you need, all responses are anonymous. Sign-ins are required to prevent duplication, but I don't see any of that information, just the poll responses.
just some sketches. table tiddies and robo panties for a friend
I had an idea last night that I want to explore, and wanted to see what you guys would think. Hacked 3 has been a big source of stress for me, so I'm trying to figure out what might be the best approach for it.
As is, the plan for hacked 3 is to just be the loops of the animation with audio. Not as impressive as the previous ones, but with more variety in the positions / angles. However, this would eliminate a lot of 'progression' of the scenes.
The other option that I've considered is instead to focus on just one scene at a time, and release the animation in parts. This would mean I'd take one angle/scene, animate it with full progression, etc. I wouldn't need to do any transitions cause it's all the same scene, but there would be more animation. It would also mean I'd have to animate more. I'd do this for every scene, but polish each scene when it's done before moving onto the next, releasing it as Hacked 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, etc.
Pros:
Cons:
I want to know what you all think, and what you would be most interested in: a sooner total project, or several smaller projects over a longer period of time?
that's a redundant title tbh
Himbos are currently a topic of debate so I had to contribute.
surprise, Hiro's ripped
Art from today's stream!
Also that reminds me, I need to get the next nominations going. The next poll will have to be during the first week of July.
June just kinda flew by, wow.
more attempts.
got the rig in but, it's not rigged very well.
need to rethink my approach tbh.
patreon reward for Salty
gonna do the poll winner (Izi bodypillow) in stream this Saturday on YT, after a Helltaker stream (that game should only take like 1 hour to finish)
bday gift for my friend Luxu of his spider girl, Lena!
Flux as a dragon, as per a patreon reward, and then some memes of Click and Marissa.
was in the mood to draw some mongirl TF, and then did some raffle requests in stream.
ft. the ultra rare Pivot BE.
doodle for a friend's bday
also, had a drawpile with a few friends, if you wanna check it out. lotta doodles
REMASTERED ANIMATION
GO WATCH https://youtu.be/3wrcGdfng2o
patreon reward, and some sketches of Zee
Today was a DND themed stream.
The porcelain doll as a shortstack ranger (final art for the marionette file), Joel's patreon reward of his warforged, and my new char for a one-shot: a grung noble swashbuckler (a frog prince, cursed into the body he now has)
WIP of Bit, and a nicer version of the coom juice.
kinda in a mood. did that meme.
First time drawing Zee in a long time.
gonna polish this up a little later this week. not color it or anything, just make it an actually presentable sketch. Figured some people would like the WIP though.
One thing with kink art, I remember, is that it really encourages you to draw more dynamic poses and angles. Maybe I should return to that a bit.
The poll for June is almost done, go vote here!
I have checked for new milestones, though it appears that either A) patreon hasn't updated the manager list yet (I'll check again in 2 days), or B) there were only a small number of people this month. Reminder, milestone rewards do not expire--if you've been a long time patron, check your messages and see if I've contacted you. (I know a lot of Milestone #2 patrons never responded to my message, just wanna make sure they saw it.)
I'm going to delay this week's PV02 update by 1 week. It's hard to work on at the moment, and I feel there's more important things going on in the world right now.
This month my plan is to composite the CB Hacked 3 animation and get backgrounds for it done, get a short meme vid up on YT based on the recent remaster of "pull over," and we'll see what else. Might be a wildcard kinda month.
Hey, I've got an account on Pillowfort finally.
I've been following them since 2018, finally was able to register thanks to a friend.
If you have an account, follow me there. It's $5 to join, or free if you get an invite from someone, and every account made gets 3 invite keys they can hand out to people. If you're on the Discord, people have been seeding and chaining invites in a temp channel I made. (After the beta period, then it will be free for all and the invite system will be retired.)
If you're after an invite, I'd also suggest commenting here and seeing if anyone has a spare key. If you get one, I'd recommend paying it forward and offering one to someone else here.
PF is a social media site that has basically the things that I liked tumblr for: a proper tag system, image sets, NSFW is explicitly allowed, and it has things like communities so it's easier to get around versus places like Twitter, and built in blacklists to control your feed. Also, posts can be set to NSFW individually, so SFW followers can follow NSFW accounts without fear.
It's still in beta so it's a bit under construction in some respects, but there's been a surge of people joining it as of late. I was going to wait til it got out of beta, but opportunity struck.
I'm posting my work there over the next few... long periods of time. I have a lot of work. But, it'll be a better archive of my stuff than Twitter.
Cooked up some homebrew for 5e! Lumenari, a mothfolk with a penchant for wanderlust, and marionettes, personal constructs that have gained sentience.
I've run through a lot of number crunching and analysis to try and make sure these are balanced, but do note that these are still homebrew, and they are untested!
The drive has been updated! You can see all art and files here.
remastered an old animation of mine
the remainin trades with friends!
Poll from the recent nominations! Which of these ideas do you want to see made? Voting ends in one week!

Please do not respond to this with a knee-jerk reaction and actually read this post first.
Tldr: some US residents might be charged a few cents extra per pledge due to recent legislation, starting July 1st.
A bit of background:
Patreon has been charging and paying VAT for patrons in the EU since 2015, when the laws changed there. Over the past couple of years, many other countries and states in the US have passed similar laws that require “online marketplaces” to apply sales tax to transactions. Although aimed at large online stores, the Amazons, Ebays, Netflixes, and Etsys of the world, the way these laws were written and the way they’re being interpreted means that they’re impacting many different types of companies, including Patreon. Due to this, Patreon is legally required to start adding sales tax on applicable patron pledges from July 1st 2020.
So, yeah, the US has passed some laws that wound up affecting small time digital markets too, and technically patreon pages fall into that.
But, Patreon has taken some steps that greatly mitigate the fallout from this.
They've made the process nuanced and given creators jurisdiction over if their content is taxable (though the controls for it on my end are a bit tedious.) We've got a bit over a month to get things sorted out before then (technically two: news of this first dropped May 6th, but I was waiting to see what the course of action would be).
Patreon pages now can assign what kind of benefits apply to each tier they have, and weight them according to their own discretion. Not every kind of benefit gets taxed either.
Some things are kinda vague--for one, I'm not sure if early access to art counts or if it counts everywhere. Full res downloads probably would count, but only for a very limited respect. For instance, this is how I have it weighted for the $2 tier:
Some of the numbers are a bit all over the place because this is all decided by a cumulative percentage equaling 100, rather than a 'weight' system which would be WAY easier to visualize. Some states might consider something like early access a taxable good, while others might not. Most probably would consider the archive a taxable good.
So, only a tiny percentage of the $2 pledge is therefor taxed, and then it'd be whatever the tax rate is for that state. A percent of a percent results in a small amount, and will probably only be a couple of cents for most people. (Sometimes even less than 1 cent I would imagine.)
It's annoying, but this is 100% on the US government. I am extremely glad that I can weight my content myself instead of Patreon just assuming tax on 100% the value of each pledge. (I just wish it was easier to edit.) Ultimately, I think most people here shouldn't expect to pay more than a couple of cents (like, lower single digits) in taxes.
It's still a month before this goes into effect, so if you wanna ask questions, or need to plan for anything, there's time to do so. I'll forward anything I'm unsure of to the official discord and forum.
If you also have feedback on how you personally value your pledge, e.g. why you're in the tier you're at, lemme know, I can use it to help make my benefits more accurate.
A couple of art trades I did with friends. These'll be going up earlier than usual cause they're gift art, and comms / gift art feels weird to lock behind patreon.
There were more today but the owners haven't seen em yet, so they'll be posted in the next batch :v
I like this style shift for my art. Friendship ended with antialiasing, now pixelly borders and colors are my friends.
Some Etna cause Etna good, Cash cause she hasn't been drawn in ages, and the climax bits of the Curly Brace animations for hacked 3.
With that, I do believe I'm actually done with character animation for hacked 3. This means now I need to focus on rendering, compositing, etc. Aka, the actual hard and overwhelming part.
I think Ima make aliased color / linework permanently part of my style. It worked great for the PV02 updates, it looks good on this.
Anyway, doodles of a race for 5e that I've made. (There's a third as well, porcelain doll, but I ran out of time.)
Also blender practice. Blender is hard.
sketch for a friend's bday, colored version of the Garter reverse bunsuit, and some vagoo practice
Well that's ominous.
Will be live sunday! https://www.pv02comic.com/
be sure to view it there. there's a special treat that'll be posted with it.
This is a reminder that my work is patreon exclusive initially. I do not allow people to share it before it is publicly posted, let alone before I have even posted it.
Some fucker decided to just take my recent work and repost it to reddit for karma, literally 6 hours after it was finished. Fuck you. Get the fuck off my patreon.
So my wrist wasn't bothering me for a few hours, so I felt daring enough to try and stream / work on this more.
Got it done! Note that this set includes dick alts. (She's a succubus she can do what she wants.)
The full size images are in the downloads, while the images in the post itself are the to-be-public sizes. There's also a zip file containing all images (smaller size for when I post these publicly, and the full res images.)
I kinda like the high contrast shading. It's sort of a soft cel-shade style. I hope it paid off, tbh, I've been in a really low spot confidence wise for the past week. (Couple that with my wrist acting up again.)
I just realized how inaccurate it is to call this the slingkini set when only one image in the set is a slingkini. :shrug:
my RSI is starting to flare up again so the next few days I'm gonna take off from drawing.
I still am gonna try to get next week's comic update done but man.
I'm so fucking sick of this.
WIP.
This piece is giving me a lot of trouble.
I'm finally getting back to work on this.
Here's a few WIPs from tonight. 1: did a climax shot for scene 02.
The big news is 2: I actually decided to pull a scene out from the 'deleted scenes' pile and use it. I realized none of the shots had any penetration, and that was odd.
That one was rigged up and animated all tonight in stream.
Once I get the climax done for the final scene, i'm gonna move to compositing / audio etc.
Looking on it, I very well could have this done this month. Not that I'm gonna deadline myself.
Sketch of Bit and Socket, and a patreon reward for Kildud3 of his Code Vein character + Io.
Ngl this update was pretty hype to make.
Fun fact: this has been in planning since August 2019, technically earlier, but that's when this page was written.
HERE COMES THE GIANT FIST
Rewards for Salty and Night, of Akane in a mom-attire, and Francine from Animal Crossing getting some cowboy in.
Garter won April's poll, so here she is! A happy mother, relaxing by the fire with her hubby.
Who is he? Who knows. Possibly you. Or maybe it's all just a dream....
Either way, I'm glad this one won, considering Mother's day is in a week.
I went with a softer shading style that honestly can be hit or miss. It's frustrating to do, so I hope it paid off.
anyway, it's a 2.5k drawing, for those with 1440p monitors.
I'm probably gonna notice like 16 mistakes over the next week before this goes live.
UPDATE: Touched up some anatomy things, and added the sketches from the brainstorming phase that didn't get utilized.
gave up on blender in stream cause watching me do tutorials wasn't an entertaining stream.
so here's some doodles from today. Coloring work of Hentie done by Gaiamatt!
New tutorial going up tomorrow! Sorry this one's shorter notice, so I couldn't early access it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJVWkuwsYwM
But, it's how to animate in CSP, made easy!
Also funny note, the CSP logo in the thumbnail made me thing the PNG was the thumbnail .clip file so I thought I lost the thumbnail.
some Patreon OCs I randomly drew, and some stocking.
Just warmup doodles.
The drive has been updated!
I'm gonna get to use Lishna again in a 5e game soon, so I've updated her design
GARTER IS VICTORY! Expect the piece early next month.
Hey that's actually perfectly timed for mother's day.
Animated in stream today for a demosntration of how to animate in CSP.
New tutorial hopefully will be up next week! Planning to take the footage and cut it down and just output that as the tutorial.
She doesn't seem very enthused.
Also, have a look at what the node map looks like :v I dunno if I like doing this by using the embedded pegs.
UNRELATED! Tomorrow (Saturday) at 1:30 pm pacific time, I'm gonna be doing a tutorial livestream on youtube! It'll be up at https://youtu.be/RhJ646UT38Y
I'm gonna be going over how to get started animating in CSP / advantages and drawbacks it has versus other software.
The cavalry has arrived.
Will be live this Sunday! https://www.pv02comic.com/
just a quick random meme I made with my chars.
blank version in the downloads!
Rewards for Antiqua, Omegaresno, and Icyspicy
The poll is up!
These were the 4 most-liked options in the nomination. Vote for the one you want to see the most!
If you're in the $10 or up tier, now's the last chance to nominate characters for the next poll! Be sure to drop a like for any nominations you also like! https://www.patreon.com/posts/april-character-35901775
Rewards for Antiqua and Fel, first of Harbor Princess as a robot girl (isn't she already a robo girl?) and Bit and Socket cosplaying Nezuko and Love Pillar. Bit is mad she's not the cleavage monster.
This video is now public! It also includes a review for the Gaomon PD2200.
Milestone 2 Reward for Miko of his Cait foolishly attempting to challenge Pivot to a butt battle.
Only 3 more rewards to get through (for this month anyway. And next month won't have anywhere near as many, since this month introduced the tier 2 milestone, and thus created a backlog.)
Patreon reward for Fel.
Bit does the dew.
Various variants (with and without gamer gear, big and small tid size, and wallpaper formatted) in the downloads!
Also a zip version to download all at once if you'd rather.
Here are the draws from the bunday raffle over on picarto!
Thanks to all who came out!
She won last month's poll, so here she is.
I'll be honest, wasn't really sure what to do thematically.
April's nominations will be going up next, and it'll be open to the $10 tier this time! If you wanna suggest anything, head over there!
I tried and failed to get anything done tonight in stream. here's a few warmups though.
New DND video! You can watch it here.
It'll be going up next week!
I'm assumin they're elves
Commission for Icy, and patreon reward for Salty of Cesil in a reverse bunsuit!
Btw, April 12th, I'll be doing a bunday stream! Drop on by at https://picarto.tv/Zedrin for BUNSUITS!
A few of the rewards for this month so far.
So, one thing I've been debating implementing is another iteration of the milestone rewards, for very long-time supporters.
As a new perk, from here on out, in addition to getting a reward drawing at $100 lifetime pledges, you also can get a second one at $500!
As usual, these rewards have no deadline on when they can be redeemed, and they can be anything outside of the no-no topics. The level of detail depends on the complexity and still needs references for any chars I might be unfamiliar with. You can see some examples in the "rewards" tag on my page.
I've sent out messages to eligible people and am tracking it in my patron manager. You do need to have an active pledge for me to send you the initial message however.
Once you receive the message in Patreon, you can follow up here, or if you're in the Discord server, feel free to direct message me. Whichever's easiest. (Just be sure to give me your name if it's different so I can track that yeah I got you.)
Since there were a few this time, as I'm accounting for people who have already had this milestone met for a while, these will roll out a little slower than usual. Lifetime pledge progress is cumulative however, so if you had to leave for a bit and then returned, you pick up where you left off. (And again, with COVID-19 going around, please watch out for yourselves. If you need to withdraw your pledge, do so. Hopefully I'll see you back when things are more under control.
---
Anyway, I've kinda been taking a few days of cool-down. I try to avoid doing much activity on the first few days of each month, especially on the administrative side, so pledges have a chance to process.
My next priorities are finishing the next D&D vid, and doing set design for Hacked 3. The credits verification post will be going up for the D&D vid in a few days, I plan to have it out by mid-April.
Once those are done, I'm going to start diving into 3D modeling again and try to learn it once more.
(Also, as a reminder cause sometimes people forget, patrons who are in the $10 tier and have been a patron for at least one month are free to commission me at any point. Atm I have 1 commission on standby that I'll be doing this weekend.)
Anyway I don't know how to conclude an announcement post so have a gif
NEW VIDEO! Hiro the Dense official anime opening
oops. forgot to extend the chairs for the full 24 frames.
anyway, here's the full loop of the end.
i am so burned out on this project tbh.
Looks like Angry's the winner!
If anyone wants to suggest further add-ons to the idea (drunk Angry) feel free to comment them below!
The art from March has been added to the Mega drive.
just a quick doodle
i can't focus tonight.
art trade for my friend Nephi
On top of this, I also spent the day getting the buttons laid out for the PV02 website! https://www.pv02comic.com/ LOOK I NOW HAVE A LANDING PAGE!
sheep / sleep demon for a 5e statblock, slime fighter, bit, garter, and mimi
Here's the dance animations I made over the past month or so! Zipped because there's a lot of them.
These'll be published next week.
doodles from tonight. Also a little sequence for my friend Nephi who helped me finally figure out how to get a landing page working for PV02! So that'll be coming soon.
Finally, no more instant spoilers when visiting the site!
Also, usagimimi Socket, or what she'd look like if she were a bunny-girl and not a robot.
And finally, shitposts.
UPDATE 131
Socket that was really dumb tbh
I tried some small tweaks to panels. Variable border width, etc. Also went back to hand drawn speech bubbles. I think they look a bit more organic tbh. Also line weighting them gives an interesting effect.
The panels ont he left use raster lineart, while the ones on the right use vector layer. Wonder if people can see the difference (at least without the black shading.) Vector layer lineart definitely is leagues faster and cleaner long term.
ALRIGHT! So, here are the poll nominations for April's vote. Vote now and this'll be what gets drawn for April!
For next month, I'm gonna extend nominations to the $10 tier as well, just to populate things more / get more preliminary nominations. (This is all kinda touch and go, trying to see the best way to do this all.)
You got one vote, so make it count!
And reminder for the nominators for the next poll: you can nominate anything!
another wip
got the main two modeled and animated, and the two "different" Curlies inserted into the background.
ALMOST DONE WITH THIS SCENE
probably gonna go through what i have and add in a climax for each sequence too.
Doodled some DND chars
tieflings. I like them
okay, there were a couple more doodles.
Rym, the illicit 4th maid sister, and some BE'd Cesil
Was just sketchin some stuff.
Namely just a few fetish draws. I haven't done those in a while.
Akane, Bit, and Mimi.
Mimi loses control of her shapeshifting
Click talks about No Man's Sky while casually taking on a dick as big as she is.
So, my next vid was originally gonna be another DND animated, however I think I'm going to push that back like 2 weeks, for a middle-of-April video. This'll give me a bit more time to prepare the tablet review to go with it.
The reason being, I actually have a different animation coming in about 10 days! As such, I'll be using the credits discussed in the most recent credits post for that video, meaning it'll use March's supporters, and the DND animated video will use April's supporters.
Unfortunately, for this new video, I can't share what it is ahead of time. It's nothin huge.
(Note that when I'm talking about videos and stuff, I always mean for Youtube.)
Also: I know I haven't had a lot of progress for Curly Hacked 3 as of late, but that should change eventually. When, I can't promise, but it will get done. (My subconscious refuses to allow myself to dive back into 3D or music mixing or go back to doing short nsfw gifs again before it's done.)
ALSO x2: the first popularity poll will be going up next week! I think I may expand the nomination power to $10 tiers as well, just to help populate the nominations more.
Just making a small announcement on the outbreak and whatnot:
If you're financially affected by everything that's going on, don't feel bad about reducing or canceling your support.
I'm smart with preparation / saving, so I'll be fine for a while. If you do withdraw for now, I just hope to see you back after this all settles down!
Rewards for March will continue to count until the end of the month. If you're worried about discord server access, I also have a public server that people are free to join. (I have two servers: a private patreon one and the public one) https://discord.gg/tV9SPw2
Nobody tell her the origin of the holiday.
I'm gonna do a full color version of this later. But I wanted to get this out by St Patrick's Day.
Got a new DND animated vid coming soon! It's all animated and synced. I just need to composite it now, and add in the tablet review portion.
This didn't take too long, clocks in at about 5.5 minutes runtime.
Tier request for Fel ft two types of bunsuits, and a commission of Angry's mom bound up.
Milestone reward for Sodapone, and a max tier pic of Cesil, requested by Salty.
A few variants of Cesil are in the downloads. There's a few WP variants, wet (default) and nonwet versions, and a version with no lingerie.
i might do one additional animation, the other half of Po Pi Po. But the whole cast is animated now.
NOW
I need to split this into gifs of each animation for each character
and then
something.
I'm adding a new mechanic to this patreon! Each month, there'll be a popularity poll from 4 options.
These options will be selected from the $20 tier! You add your nominations here (if you're in the appropriate tier).
At the end of the month (or start of next, not sure which to do actually) I'll host the poll based on the results, which'll influence the pic for next month.
I may also add a perk to the $10 tier that gives them double voting power.
Additionally, the $50 tier has been released. In this tier you are guaranteed a full color pic request, with the caveat that it has to be of one of my characters.
I had a limit of two, but both were promptly claimed, however. As a reminder, people in the $10 or higher tiers can always commission me at any time!
Marissa is me rn
So, the $20 tier has had me unsatisfied because I don't really offer much for it. At the same time I've wanted to add in a new high end tier for a specific reward (limited batch).
SO I've finally figured out what to do for both.
$20 tier: Each month there will be a poll that all tiers vote on. The $20 tier however gets to decide what the options are for voting. Each month I'll take the top 4 most liked nominations, and each $20 tier person can suggest up to 2 things. Fanart, OC stuff, themes, etc.
$10 and up tier gets to votes on this poll.
Meanwhile, the $50 tier is gonna be limited to just two upon creation. They get one commission a month, however it has to be a single character commission, and it has to be one of mine.
Commission tiers are something I'm staunchly against cause they get to be a hassle to manage, but if it's limited to my own chars then chances are they'll be something that I'd draw during the month on my own, or something similar.
No idea when I'll get these posted but just giving a heads up ahead of time. The first round of nominations will be before the end of the month, and next month will feature the first poll.
did a 2 hour request stream for garde day.
One rule I had: if I drew myself in the raffle, it was rerolled and the 'effort' level increased, up to flat color. Coincidentally I rolled myself like 3 times for the very last piece. :v
I really wish these e-holidays like Gardevoir Day had a bit more of a heads up gdi
Quickly cranked this out today. My Saturdays are usually packed so I didn't have a lot of time to draw this.
Patreon rewards for Mindscatter and Carter, as well as a few sketches of Salty's char.
Note: the sketches are NSFW. I haven't done hardcore stuff in a while. You can view them by downloading them.
I like to homebrew stuff a lot, though I've been burned out a bit on 5e homebrew with how limiting a lot of aspects of 5e are.
That all said, I do have (worked on / been working on) statblocks for a collection of bug like races and wanna do a few more, cause bugfolk I think I pretty neat. Working out how to use the extra arms without just "oh yeah you can attack a shit ton extra / wield a 2h with a shield" has taken some thought. (As has wing usage / flight without just a fly speed.)
Not depicted here: arachne (statblock there needs a rework to slim it down + quick set of monster rules), spiderfolk (bipedal spider), and for other ideas I was thinking centipede and scorpion would also be good fits.
How does this work? I do not know. But it's been on my mind ever since I mistakenly shaded Pivot too dark and drew tanlines on her as a joke.
phone WP formatted
update: noticed socket's torso was WAY too long, so I've fixed that.
some draws of Akane, with and without milk, and with and without a tan (dark girls can tan too!)
Bit is a hardcore gamer. Click meanwhile goes straight for the jugular.
Embarrassing quote originally by Ninja. :v
doodles of Mimi and Garter enjoying some burgers, and some outfit ideas for Mimi.
The archive has been moved to Mega. This provides me with 15 gb for free, which is more than enough. I've added February's art (+ any missing webcomic updates), as well as added a folder for video.
To search files, there's a magnifying glass in the top right. As always, art from the month will be put into the archive at the end of the month.
just some doodles from stream, a few patron OCs and a DND thingy, and more doodles of Garter (including her in a giant sock)
a bit more work on this
honestly progress is starting to slow. I'm getting burned out on how many scenes I did. I'm going to shelve the scenes of both Curlies riding on top of Quote pyramid style (too difficult to orchestrate) and the scene of shortstack Curly riding cowgirl. All the completed ones are staying in however.
My plan here is to finish up this big final scene, then work on compositing, audio, etc.
As mentioned at the start, this one is gonna be more a collection of loops rather than a continuous story. Originally I was thinking "this'll make it easier to make" and while I don't have to deal with transitions, I have to make new rigs for each angle / scene essentially.
Wew MAN the colors on this were a bitch to figure out but I got em finally.
Socket and Pivot! Bunsuits! Yes!
Formatted for a phone screen!
IZILITH JOINS THE BATTLE! And she's already 200% done.
when converting to izilith I wound up restructuring a lot of the rig.
I don't get why I have this problem. I try to take shortcuts by means of just drawing new frames instead of rigging up parts because, short term, it's faster, but long term it's WAY faster to just rig things out.
Izilith as a whole is more detailed and better built than Hiro in this as a result. And when I convert her to the last character, it'll be even easier, due to similar body shapes + I'll have already restructured everything.
Anyway, mostly done with reanimating Izi, just gotta do the other half of the dances (which gets easier as time goes on and I can just reuse existing parts).
I have an internal deadline for this, so if it starts cutting close I'ma be working on it out of stream.
After deliberating on this for like 3 days I finally figured out how to color it and MAN do I like how it's coming.
Socket's tits got nerfed in the process however. Also found how jank her anatomy was--her head was on her left shoulder.
This should be finished soon luckily.
Felt like drawing Garter through her years, and doing a proper ref for her.
She's smol
so, one thing I keep forgetting to update on:
Unfortunately, dropbox is out. $15 a month is 5x what I was paying for Drive before, and I don't need 2 TB of storage.
I probably won't have the archive migrated to a new platform before the end of the month. I'll keep looking around.
I've been looking at Mega, but the big thing is I want something that can just sync a folder on my computer, instead of me having to directly upload every time I make something new. I only need like, 4 gb of storage tbh for all the gifs and pictures.
WIP on the 28k milestone pic. This took me a lot longer to line cause I kept having to stop due to an incredibly painful canker sore in my mouth.
Honestly in hindsight I shouldn't be surprised, Pivot and/or Socket's inclusion in a poll always means a landslide victory. It makes it feel like the poll has no point or purpose, which makes it feel like kinda a shitty perk.
I'm going to likely omit them from future polls / keep the stuff I do of them independent from community selection / suggestions.
Otherwise, I'm going to do one other piece from the poll as well at a later date. I'll probably decide on the one to do myself (cause it was on my ideas list and I wanna do it).
Anon commission! more mummified bondage
Got all the basics for Hiro done! Now to add in the other chars.
Was trying to update the pic of Izi and Patreon broke the original post. It removed the pic of Izi and didn't let me reupload it.
So, repost.
But uh, holy shit the face was fucked, didn't realize until after looking at it a few hours later. Fixed it now. Her face was very much extruded from her head.
Izi 'found' a cupcake and doesn't want it so she thinks you should take it.
Also a bday gift for my eyeballfriend Mas
I felt like I needed to add a scene that capitalized on the whole 'clone' aspect
this gets its own post cause I actually really like everything going on here. Curly and Quote holding hands while each getting serviced by their own clone, and then 3 more pairs of clones in the background that are just making out with each other in an orgy.
meido
haven't had a chance to work on this for a while, got the last shot for this scene done.
Got like... 5 more animations to do here before I composite things.
Also have a Garter doodle
tried doodling tonight. Didn't get very far.
Long hair Flux and just a slightly wonky drawing of Socket in lingerie.
Some doodles of Garter, and some of Maple for Limebreaker
If anyone's tried to access the drive lately, you'll see it's offline.
There was a scare over on Twitter about Google disabling accounts for NSFW on drives. While this was an overreaction and the reason for the victim's account deletion wound up being something else, it did bring to my attention that Google Drive actually doesn't allow NSFW posts to be public / shared. Google will go around and disable images or even parts of an account if they catch this.
So, I'm going to be switching to dropbox this month for archive sharing. In the meantime, the archives won't be available until I switch over.
Work in progress for a potential vid int he future!
The small version is fbf, the big version is rigged and can be substituted for other chars.
This'll be what I'll be working on during the weekly youtube streams til it's done.
lick lick lick
got one more arrangement for this angle (actually two kinda)
Then the face sit + grind tower
Then the climactic finish
So, being able to see the boobs from behind is apparently called 'sidewinders'
it's a mood, a big mood
have various chars, both my OCs and patrons from the discord.
A tale from a 5e game I'm in
Public post!
I felt like doing a few more. Ft: naked and cowcubus versions!
Also, there's a LOT this time! So I'm zipping them! Also includes the ones from the last post!
New video going up tomorrow! Just a DND story over an art timelapse.
You can go watch it early here, it'll be up tomorrow on my channel! (if it's done processing anyway)
Mimi didn't think you'd notice the changes she made when dropping into her succubus form.
Also a bunch of alt colors because it was fun to toy with.
Dark skin Mimi tho 👀
Also, bday gift for Neayix of his new demon lady
a few doodles from tonight
may turn the maid sketches into full pics
Got a small, simple video going up this week! I meant to post it two weeks ago, but I couldn't record for it til now cause I was sick / still had gunk in my throat.
Make sure that, if you're in the $5 or higher tier, if you've been declined that you resolve your payment info if you want to appear in the credits! I'll be rendering it out on Wednesday and hopefully have it ready to go by Friday.
It's just a simple DND story over an art timelapse, nothin too flashy, but very easy for me to produce and publish while I work on other projects.
added the shortstack curly behind for the other gif, edited the skeet, and got the first shot of scene 02 done.
skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet skeet
Added January's art!
I've unpublished the SFW tiers. From here on out, the tiers will be one once again.
Because not everyone wants to see NSFW, and I do do some SFW content, posts with NSFW in them will use a SFW image or crop for the preview. I'll also include (NSFW) (SFW) or (MIXED) for each media post I make.
Over on the discord, if you don't want to see NSFW posts, just ask for the SFW role!
You're in control of what you want to see.
The reason I'm consolidating the tiers again is, it's less clutter / fewer tiers to manage, it makes it easier on me for posting, and it also helps in the fringe situation of someone who's in the SFW tier but still wants to maybe see the occasional tamer NSFW source file or whatnot.
If you're in one of the old SFW tiers, you can stay there or you can move to the primary tier, the tiers have otherwise been unpublished (still active, but hidden). For things like the $5 Lunchbox tier, which includes credits in videos, if you're not interested in your name showing up in NSFW content, send me a message and I'll make a note (you do NOT need to do this if you are in a $2 tier.)
A few sketch concepts to s how some of the differences between a few of the Curly clones and the OG.
Here's a set of sketches and whatnot I did.
Note: Some are NSFW, the SFW ones are posted first however!
This'll be kinda how I'll organize future posts, instead of splitting between SFW and NSFW.
Just before there's any more reactions:
The proposed changes are not finalized, and even if they were, current patrons will not be affected, no matter what. I made the post about them to collect thoughts first.
The reason I'm looking into adjusting the tiers is because the scaling on them is weird / disproportionate, and I want to reduce the number of tiers I have (removing the NSFW/SFW split especially.)
Current patrons would be grandfathered in, as I said. I have zero plans about requiring anyone currently to pay more. I still support the $1 tier from when this page first was founded (or I did until the last patron in it moved to another tier / withdrew).
If I do ultimately decide on a change, I may wait til around March to implement it at this point. I don't know. I'm still looking into the price levels and may even opt to reduce certain tiers too. But, I've looked at some pages of friends who have half as many supporters, a similar model (even less content even), but the same level of earnings, and it makes me feel like maybe I'm not structuring my tiers correctly.
-
On a similar note, some of you also might have seen some of my comments in the discord regarding me no longer wanting to draw fanart. The past week has not been kind to me, on top of getting sick I was feeling incredibly low and frustrated with my work. I have been dealing with burnout for most of 2019, with a few periods of me just ignoring it, but last week it was extremely bad.
I asked followers for answers and feedback about why I'm not growing, why things are stagnating for me, how can I improve, why most artist friends who come onto the scene skyrocket past me in terms of reach in the span of a month, and one thing that was resounding was my art isn't "interesting," that it's fairly tame or generic.
They're fuckin' right, it's something that's been bothering me for a long while, that I don't actually use my characters for much. It used to be way more interesting, and I would do more with characterization and the like (I miss Tumblr).
Now that my sickness is all but gone, I have plans as I get back into the swing of drawing art, particularly I want to make far more OC driven content, and make it actually characterizing rather than mostly just generic pinups. This might mean things like more comics, more sketches, and I'm likely going to bring back asks via CuriousCat and Twitter.
Me wanting to draw less fanart is me wanting to prioritize going back to things that I used to like about doing art. Fanart always has felt more like just trying to appeal to the audience to me with little else in substance. It felt like going through the motions to just try and fish for likes / notes, and even when I was putting forth and trying to push myself technically, it felt soulless to make.
So, for those in the discord who saw sick-me lamenting in a stupor and commenting that I'm going to cut back on fanart, this is what I meant. I'm going to get more into things that are interesting and interest me, and I think that I will be a lot happier doing this kinda stuff, as do I think most supporters and followers.
This doesn't mean I'm not going to do fanart ever, and it doesn't mean I'm not going to finish other projects (Curly Brace Hacked 3 is still getting made.) But in 2020 I'm going to learn how to love my art again.
Getting back into the swing of things.
This update will be going up this Sunday!
Thinking on it, I think I may need to reassess my tiers.
The rates I have currently kinda scale wonkily, and the base tier in particular is in a poor spot where a sizable portion of each pledge is eaten up by processing fees.
What I'm debating for the changes:
Some other ideas:
I could also consider patreon produced merch. A $12 tier would be eligible for a monthly sticker, or a $30 tier would be eligible for a monthly poster. (I need to actually look into this if this actually interests people cause I can't see it anymore in my role management, so I dunno if I missed my chance.)
I want to remove the SFW / NSFW split to reduce the number of tiers I manage, and would just limit image previews so if someone isn't interest in NSFW, they just don't have to look at the post. Patrons in tier II and up would be able to message me and preemptively mention if they wanted to be excluded from NSFW credits.
I may start distributing the drive link via PMs instead of posts, to make it harder for leak sites to access too, and may start dividing the access by monthly folder (so it doesn't become a permanent benefit even for people who withdraw their pledge--it'd only work for the months you were pledged to. I don't lock out my content however so the drive is and has always been mostly be a convenience matter).
Additionally, I would be a bit more strict with early access. Most art would be 1-2 weeks before it goes public, rather than just a few days, while animations would be about a month rather than a week. I know for sure I do not want any permanent paywalls on my content, but I do notice that a lot of my friends have had wildly more success with longer exclusivity periods. Early access isn't that much of a feature if it's not that much earlier.
For current patrons, I'd grandfather you guys in, so you're getting equivalent access for what you're currently pledging. The current roles would be hidden, so no new pledges could be made to them. There wouldn't be any obligation for you to change your pledge unless you wanted to.
I've been debating reintroducing monthly polls too, with a power level influenced by your tier.
If you have any thoughts / feedback / suggestions / complaints / ideas etc. please share.
so I've gotten really sick. This week isn't gonna see any content until I get better. This may also mean that the next PV02 update is delayed a week, depending on how fast I can recover.
Actually the team's name is "All Natural Funeral Service" but that's a different story :v
But next week: new DND vid going up! Just a story vid with art timelapse.
This was one of the options in the poll, and since it's a super easy one, I figure doing one a month should be a decent bout of content on my channel.
The team:
The two kobolds were adopted after we slayed a black dragon. These two in particular wanted to follow us around, so we taught them common / learned draconic over a few months, and they've become supporting party members and if anything happened to Snapjaw I would kill everyone in the room and then myself
Decided to try giving one of the clones short hair.
I really like the movement here tbh.
Just a pathfinder character, who i got to draw in FANCY DRESS™
She's a tiefling sorcerer, rakshasa heritage + bloodline.
She looks way more human here cause she's in disguise to look more in-line with the rest of her family, since tiefling characteristics can kinda manifest spontaneously into an otherwise normal family.
another commission
smash that mf like if you remember her
As I said, instead of doing one continuous animation, I'm doing several smaller ones. This means I can do as many as I want or feel able to, and if I start feeling overwhelmed, I can just cut it there without losing anything more.
SO! I'm kinda going all out. Here's several sketch previews of some stuff to expect.
Naturally there are actually a lot of clones, but the three main ones are 1 normal clone, 1 short haired clone, and 1 shortstack clone.
I also want to do one scene with the OG Curly and Quote, both getting serviced or assisted by the clones.
The idea for it all is the OG Curly is actually in full control, and she's controlling the clones AND has Quote hacked. AND she feels everything the clones feel (selectively, mind you, but inb4 "IT FEELS LIKE IM GOING CRAZY IM BEING FUCKED WHILE EATING MY OWN PUSSY")
If you wanna know the colors used in the sketch:
Black, green blue - various animated bits
red - static
It is time
just about 1.5 hours of sketching
Mari hadn't been drawn in a bunsuit yet. SO I FIXED THAT!
(also some cursed art. Seriously it's actually hard to emulate how bad ThunderCats Roar's style is. I kept accidentally making it slightly better as I was drawing and having to go back to reduce the quality.)
Looks like the potions weren't strong enough, so Cesil made a demonic pact.
WP version in downloads!
I cannot stress how long I've been waiting for this reveal.
live sunday https://www.pv02comic.com/
If you saw the previous poll, patreon glitched out and broke it so the poll options weren't right. Note to self: do not use drafts for polls.
The biggest suggestions I saw were for more Curly Brace (a hacked 3 sorta deal), Bit, and a few suggestions for Cesil.
Pivot and Mari were also suggested, but as this is a NSFW project, they're out. I'm not comfortable doing a bigger NSFW thing with Pivot, because that makes people think my comic is a hentai comic. A few other suggestions I got were in a similar vein (e.g., NSFW involving Hiro, specifically. I'm not lewding him.)
Hacked 3 would essentially be: Quote finds Curly in the big machine, gets moshed by Curly clones, then the real Curly comes out of the machine and reveals she's in full control of them and can opt to feel everything they can, then puts a helmet on Quote to hypnotize him as well and has a big orgy. It'd be a set of gifs of various animations in theme, with a few comic panels between them.
Bit's BE comic would be a comic sequence of her gaming / streaming as her boobs go up in size with donations. Maybe she gets hornier / has a vibrator-like response whenever she gets donations of a certain level. (Could be her testing out new equipment.) (Was surprised how many people suggested this.)
Cesil, I'm not exactly sure what to do specifically, so if you vote for her, please offer ideas.
Only one vote this time! Make it count!
So, for the poll winners, (unsurprisingly) the NSFW content won. The two closely tied victors were:
A lewd comic, or a lewd gifset.
SO, considering those items, what are some specifics that might interest people?
Some suggestions I've seen so far or had myself:
Feel free to be as specific or general as you like (e.g. if you wanna see something of Akane, just say "anything involving Akane." Or you just wanna see a specific kink)
Bear in mind, I am not likely to do NSFW gifs / comics of Pivot / Socket. When I make big NSFW pieces of that, it tends to mislead people that my webcomic is NSFW, which is not a message I have any interest in sending.
After I get a small handful of ideas, I'll put them in one final poll where they'll duke it out :v
(As for the other, sfw ideas, don't think those are immediately lost either)
Drew some Etna, she's good. WALLPAPER FORMATTED IN THE DOWNLOADS!
Also Click is excited for this year.
AAAAAAAAAA
You can vote for multiple items!
After choosing the result, I'll likely have a second poll to determine specifically what of it should be (exceptions would be for things where I know what to do, like the DND story option).
Thinks marked with * , if not obviously lewd, may still have the possibility of being lewd or ecchi (but depending on the category, this may depend on the second poll.)
there are 24 images here, I'm not gonna post em individually.
You can open em via the zip! Note that some are NSFW.
All files from December have been added! You can access it all here.
Additionally, i'm going to switch to a new organization method for 2020. It'll make it way easier for me to determine what's in the drive and what's not.
Marissa and Saraiah have an important conversation about the difficulties of being a gardevoir
Saraiah owned by Darian!
every time I draw her her boobs get a bit bigger = - =
So, I want to start 2020 with something solid. I haven't done a notable project in a while. Very big scope ideas like full animations or something like a game are a bit much, and require a lot more deliberation to do, so instead I wanna focus on something that I can manage in a shorter amount of time.
I'm looking for suggestions that'd maybe take at most 1-2 weeks to produce. (So like, a single animation loop, a short comic, an image set, etc.)
NSFW and SFW suggestions are both valid!
I'll take suggestions in here and stick em in a poll. I've already got a few ideas to stick in there (e.g. the Mimi origin comic) but I want a few more
Apple Girlington and some Pivot
Patreon commissions for anons.
Relay gettin' spitroasted and Izilith in some full body bondage
got this done.
a bit rushed tbh. I really need to actually make a model sheet for him.
Will be live sunday https://www.pv02comic.com/
Pivot and Socket pinup with Christmas thot sweaters
not very inspired but eh
Image set posts are smaller sized, download those if you want a smaller file. full res is in the attachments.
so, the next PV02 animation I've decided to cancel.
It's too much of a headache to deal with and I don't have enough time at this point to get it done by the time it's needed.
I'm just going to stick to doing comics for the story.
sorry for disappointing.
had to throw together a PF character in less than 24 hours
starting at level 6 = character creation hell
BUT HE'S DONE. He's a kitsune investigator (with some tweaks to the race cause I didn't feel like using the furry stuff that comes with kitsune).
i'm channeling my inner weeb
To go with the vid talking about how to better give critique, here's one on how to ask for it!
Featuring belated Halloween art and accidental Touhou references.
Just a small announcement, posting a new timelapse talk video. Will be up at https://youtu.be/YSeG8U6stps tomorrow.
Back from my trip. Gonna get around to this month's patreon rewards, and start getting some drawings going.
as always, you can catch my streams at https://picarto.tv/Zedrin
Patreon commission for Miko, and some arvols for Kevinsano's bday!
Hey all, just a heads up, there won't be much from me over the next two weeks. I'm gonna be on a trip. Just so no one's taken by surprise by the silence.
I'm gonna get a few things done tonight and tomorrow but then things'll be quiet til I get back. I've already posted and queued the next PV02 update.
With today's update out, I'll share this one done early! Since I'm gonna be on a trip for 2 weeks, I needed to prepare this one in advance.
PIVOT'S FUCKING PISSED
This update will be live on the 15th! https://www.pv02comic.com/
also look at this dude i love him
Almost forgot about this. CC for Scott's birthday!
additionally, the drive has been updated with November's content
i did the thing where I draw an OC in a bunsuit they're now official
oddly this animation only took 3 hours. Felt longer.
Done in Clip Studio Paint!
Static versions in the attachments!
Update 123! Will be live next week.
Trying to make sure to get stocked up on updates so I don't have to delay my comic at all while I'm on my trip.
Oh yeah I'm gonna be on a trip from the 4th to the 17th.
some doodles from tonight, as well as a very rough pivot drawing.
fun fact this is technically something i've already drawn in the past. (just this is more off the cuff / just a quick 15 minute draw)
Just wanna take a day to thank y'all for the support over the years. I started this page back in 2014 and it's only grown since then, and has brought forth a lot of works. I've also learned a lot of practical skills and a lot about myself from running this page, in no small part thanks to all of you.
Given the COPPA, my future is fairly uncertain at the moment. I have plans for all scenarios, but I'd very much like to focus on what I can do now. In all possible cases, they wouldn't be possible without all your guys' support.
Decided to do up an animation for a friend of mine, BagelBomb.
We actually were good friends a while back but then kinda lost contact, so getting to reconnect with him has been fun :D
I made a bunch
these are up in both my servers! Coming soon as stickers too!
A bunch of monster girls as various 5e and Pathfinder classes.

Either name works for her but ANYWAY
this is Bit.
She's a gamer / streamer bot, interested in getting donations so she can buy chassis upgrades (depicted in the background :y)
I figured I could use another horny robo OC.
Some Rita for my friend Herny, cause it's his bday :v
The Girl in Black seemed like a good reference to use for the pose for her.
IT'S NOT LIKE SHE LIKES YOU OR ANYTHING, BAKA

Also an undies version cause why not.
Reward for Notsoweird!

Just a small update, the Patron list (for the credits) for the next video has been acquired! (So, today is the cutoff point for that)
Air date is on the 31st!
CONSIDER THIS THE EARLY ACCESS!
There's a few small visual tweaks I'ma stick in in post, + I need to assemble the credits / patron list / a quick store bumper, but otherwise this is finished!!!
This rig is unnecessarily complicated and was just edited from the V2 rig.
Hoo man if I made this from the ground up it'd be way better, but I decided like a fool to use existing assets.
Ah well, she doesn't need to move a whole lot.
A few sketch requests from tonight, something for Miko's birthday, and an upcoming pinup of Curly brace
Oh boy, who's that? IT'S CLICK! The tiny robot mouse girl made of STRETCHIUM™

Commission for Shapeshifter6 of a spider girl character.
Bit similar to Cesil, but her name's Scarlet.
DIE MONSTER
progress is going good on this
almost forgot to do it for September.
I'm thinking of switching up the hierarchy. As is it's a pain in the ass to upload to. I want to do something that's easy to save to and easy to navigate. I'm thinking>
Year > Category (animation / comic / art / sketch) > SFW / NSFW > Month (if applicable) > character (if applicable)
With the way Drive works, if you search say, "Cesil" any folder named Cesil will come up, as well as anything with "Cesil" in the name. Drive also can look at images for signs of text and search based on that. However if a pic isn't in a folder then that might not show up.
As is you can also sort findings by 'newest first' to see what's new, but it's not 100% ideal at the moment.
Atm, I've actually stopped using character folders for my personal sorting, instead sorting strictly by month.
My big concerns are figuring out a way so people who want to avoid NSFW can, people who want to find it don't have hoops to jump through, and it minimizes the number of folders you have to navigate to find out what's new. If anyone has suggestions or preferences, feel free to comment.

Idea was tossed at me in a stream so I ran with it.
WP / alpha versions in the downloads!
Preview! Just some of the character art.
Need to do the variants and animations, and import the backgrounds. Honestly, I think this shouldn't take too long. Not gonna do lipsynching, which saves a ton of time.
I also need to do the cutaways (e.g. "FLESH FLESH FLESH FLESH") as those are unique models / animations, and are more detailed. (Gotta have a detailed ass slap.)
Cesil coldn't get spider milk from Lena so she decided to resort to her own methods to make her own.
Oops.
Each panel has its own image, or there's the full comic as well!
ireallylikeBEokay
Good lord am I rusty.
Have tot est out the rig to see where the weaknesses are.
And boy there's a lot with this rig ; - ; This was a lot of trouble to make.
There's a few I can solve but things like the legs attaching to the hips is gonna be a pain.
Big surprise, Cesil won the poll :v
here's WIPs from an upcoming 5 panel comic.
I feel like drawing some BE. But of whomst?
You can also suggest another character in the comments. Like a comment if you see one you'd also vote for.
DIE MONSTER
little thing i'm working on for Halloween.
Got a small video coming next week. It's just a commentary-over-timelapse video,
I'll have:
I'll also have patron names scrolling across the top of the screen. Cause the video will be rendered before the end of the month, it's going to just include patrons from September, it won't include October patrons.
Some-slightly-saucy-but-still-SFW pics
ft Luxu's Leena meeting Cesil.
Also Arvols are a race made by Kevinsano for those wondering
that was a fun weekend
hopefully i can get back into things just fine. maybe some time away from everything helped.
Sorry for the lack of content.
This month has been a really rough month for me mentally. I'm hating everything I make, and have been for the past 2 weeks. I don't know the last time I've had a depressive episode this bad in my 13 years of doing digital art, but I do know this is the first time the thought of just giving up on art has actually and seriously crossed my mind.
Please refrain from trying to offer advice in comments, it's always the exact same suggestions that don't address the problem. The only thing I can do is just keep waiting and hope this passes. I'm going on a trip this weekend so maybe things will improve after a brief change in scenery.
At minimum each month you can always at least expect PV02 updates and for me to deliver on milestone rewards. I still plan to have a short Halloween animation up in October. I don't know when I'll be back in full swing, but I understand if this affects your patronage at all. I'm not obligated to your guys' support, and I still appreciate it.
NEW UPDATE!
Will be live Sunday. Got it done early cause I'm gonna be gone this weekend.
woo
gonna be streaming today, not an art stream or anything, just doin some fun stuff with a few friends
Just a few designs I did in stream last night.
I totally forgot about the art archive at the start of last month. I've since updated it.
I'm debating reorganizing things again, maybe sorting strictly by date (and sfw/nsfw status), relying on search queries to pull up the characters you're interested in. I (almost) always include the character names in the files so that'd work.
Anyway, changelog has all the updated information. I've also added a new folder for giftart I've received, rather than art I've made myself. The names in the files should correlate to their respective artists' newgrounds, twitter, or tumblr pages, though some may be outdated by now (or might not've had a page).
This was a lot of stuff, and it's after moving everything to my new SSD too. On that note, I'm gonna be organizing my own files in a totally new archive, so if that works well for me I may transition to using that for the drive folders too. (If I do that it'll only be for new content, not existing uploads.)
Just linking this for relevance, so I can embed it on my front patreon page.
Just a reminder: $10 and up tier can get a commission at pretty much any time, even when commissions aren't publicly available! (Which is most the time.)
Just some Marissa.
Also Mimi doing her Sakie impression (Interviews with Monster Girls).
This is 100% 2D animation.
This is what I was focusing on today in Toon Boom. It interpolates between a few specific nodes. There's some kinks to work out (that I know how to fix, if I can just get some advice from other TB animators.)
This is SO COOL though.
SURPRISE!
Some of y'all may recognize some of the background characters. :> Based on suggestions from the lunchbox channel.
It's September, the month where most people have birthdays.
I will get to reward milestones on the 6th. I give ample time for payments to process--checking it preemptively often means the payment hasn't gone through yet, so people get skipped.
Now in effect (mostly changes tot he $10 tier wrt commissions):
My birthday's coming up this 15th as well, so woo another year for existential dread's nefarious influences. I'm gonna be taking a trip as well on the 20th, so I'll be gone for just that weekend.
I want to do a small animation involving Cesil for Halloween. Something short, funny, and cute. I need to brainstorm ideas.
PV02 animation progress is being made but man, it's getting to something I can't stream already. I need to figure out what to work on during streams on Saturdays/Sundays to Youtube (maybe the Cesil animation if I can think of something). Total frame count is about 2800 frames, or about 2 minutes. (Plus a few minutes for dubbed comics leading up to it to provide more context.)
Also, I have plans for another small video soon, just an art + talk video, and another tablet review that I'm gonna slip in there (hopefully it arrives soon. I wanna get it out + test out the new tablet).
I don't really have many plans for major NSFW content atm, or really any NSFW for the time being. I'm sure small stuff will periodically come up throughout the month, but my depression's been getting the better of me for the past week so I haven't had any inspiration on that front lately. Trying to force myself to work results in sub quality work.
So yeah. I think that's everything for now.
To go with the new rig
Pivot's fist got a reskin, making it a bit more compact!
ignore the wonky line thickness, that's a render error.
It was late when I posted that piece last night, and I didn't notice what I had put for the settings. I accidentally posted NSFW exclusively to the SFW users. Apologies if you saw it, I didn't notice until today.
I've always had this question in the back of my mind wondering if I'd ever make that kind of mistake. Guess that answers that.
So, I posted this last night, but accidentally got the permissions mixed up so no one saw it.
ANYWAY....
DANGER
DO NOT HUG / ENGAGE
LOSS OF LIFE WILL OCCUR
!!DANGER!! If your spider wife does this pose to you, do NOT engage! You will not be bale to escape her grip. Severe loss of life can and will occur!
she can dream
So, one small change I'm debating implementing (starting next month): at the moment, the $10 tier gets CSP source files, and the $20 gets animation source files. I'm thinking of moving it so the $10+ tiers gets both. Basically, no longer distinguishing between animation and static image source files.
The $20 tier would also still see both as they do now, but as far as unique things the $20 tier would get, it'd namely just be pic in the credits, and VIP status on Discord.
My reasoning for the source change:
I wanted to run this by everyone and see what their thoughts would be.
One other idea I had is maybe for the $20 tier to get access to MAJOR project files that previously I wouldn't give out regardless and things like puppet rigs. (e.g., Curly Brace: Hacked or Hiro the Dense, or the newest PV02 rig when complete.) Otherwise for most stuff, both the $10 and $20 tiers would see the same source files.
Let me know what your thoughts are, if any.
source files for big mimi as well as any of the fandom based rewards
Recent source files, mostly Marissa.
NSFW goin up in a separate post!
Clothing's done!
Testing out some simple poses on this rig, it works out really well. I need to do the foreshortened limbs, the power fists, tweak the seams a bit. Maybe add some minor shading to key parts (like just the neck)
STILL DREADING MAKING THE ANIMATIC / ACTUAL THING AAAA
So, fort he $10 and higher tiers, you're able to get commissions from me even when I don't have comms available publicly. A sample of rates is here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KYMTGYKH1-NfNtGkJW-tjx8u__ZAcimotfQR76TUEDg/
(Note that these may be subject to change.)
That all said, truth be told as soon as I got back from break I got a lot of commissions in a very short time period, and it was for a lot of high complexity commissions too. A huge part of this Patreon's purpose is to reduce the number of commissions I need to do so I can instead focus on bigger personal projects. If I'm getting too many commissions, it's defeating that purpose.
So, there are also two changes I'm thinking of implementing:
I've also considered doing something like slots per week (like maybe just 2 or 3). Usually maxing out slots wouldn't happen, I don't think, but it'd be there to reduce the complications from surges of commissions.
What do you guys think? Does anyone else have ideas, comments, feedback, suggestions, disagreements, etc.?
oh no
update: more images
Bday gift for a friend of mine :v
also a Micha doodle for another friend
she has a ref now. woo
she sometimes goes by Mary. As in "marry your pokemon"
I've added both the censored ('cen') and uncensored versions to this post, so the choice of which you download is in your hands :v
I got a busy schedule thsi week so I'm glad I was able to get this done fairly quickly.
I tried experimenting with skirt designs that maybe could be removable for purposes of animation, but everything just felt too similar to Pivot's default outfit or her maid cafe outfit. I do feel like leggings are more in line with the theme I'm aiming for either way, to be honest.
So, tuxedo bunny won the vote, but I'm not happy with it, as I feel it's a bit too similar to the maid cafe outfit, and animating a skirt (especially a complex one) isn't an easy task.
So I figured I'd try combining some of the tuxedo elements with the faux bunsuit designs.
What do you guys think? Good, or go with one of the other designs? White vest + black leotard, or white leotard + black vest?
(Bear in mind these aren't fully colored)
Patreon commission. "Angry" showin off her goods :v
(With this I need to put off getting any new comms for a week, cause they're starting to interfere with my ability to work on other things.)
tried all day today and yesterday to draw, couldn't get anything to come out. hopped in an aggie.io session tonight with some friends and was able to squeeze out some gardes, figured people might like them.
Just some doodles before wrapping up tonight.
There's an extra degenerate doodle in the downloadable version
Another patreon reward, this time for t4!
Just some good ol' cunnilingus. With something very proficient with it.
Commission for Salty Cupcake of his new spoder girl
Poll #2, this time you're limited to one vote, so make it count!
This is an outfit I plan to use for PV02. The outfit would be worn at the casino by a few of the server girls.
The only options being voted on are the top 4:
Tuxedo bunny actually had the most votes overall, but I'm iffy on using it for this outfit, as animating a flappier skirt would be a bit more work for anything action oriented.
(Classic bunsuit also was high scoring but I want to do something a bit more unique.)

Here's a sample pic of an upcoming sticker!
In the merch side of things, I'm partnering up with Crowdmade.
tl;dr: NEW STICKER and other merch COMING SOON! It'll be a crowdmade exclusive one. Old stickers'll still be available on Redbubble.
The "was long, still read":
I've used a LOT of stores in the past (Shark Robot, Redbubble, Teepublic, Teespring). At the moment, my store is on TeeSpring, but I'm not 100% satisfied with how they work. (Tedious to set up products, can't edit, etc.) I like Redbubble but they don't have the Shelf API (which shows merch below my youtube videos).
Crowdmade's gotten in touch with me for a partnership. Unlike RB and Teespring, Crowdmade is basically limited in who they work with; they also handle the design aspect, after I provide ideas + graphics, so it's a little less work on my end too. A lot of animators (both Storytime and classic) have partnered with them. I haven't gotten full details of the partnership yet, but I'm honestly expecting something standard and fair (I mean hell, even Jacksfilms uses Crowdmade.)
They also have the Shelf API to show their stuff below my channel's videos which is excellent, like I do with Teespring.
They do stickers, but they're not print on demand: rather they're limited batches with a narrow profit margin, so unlike Teespring or RB, I have to be selective about what stickers I sell through them. (Teespring has a big profit margin but as a result their stickers are more expensive, and Redbubble has a tiny profit margin so theirs are cheaper. FTR Crowdmade's prices are closer to RB.)
So, that all considered: I should have a few new merch options coming soon, and existing ones will be moving over to Crowdmade. Stickers will stay up on Redbubble, where shipping options are better and you can get more sizes and its cheaper, and I plan to do more periodically, with occasional exclusive ones going up on Crowdmade. As for my Teespring, I'll be shuttering it if things go smoothly transitioning to Crowdmade!
Some stuff to expect that I hadn't looked into much or couldn't before:
SO we gonna poll this.
Which outfits do you like? I'll do a second poll for single choice as well to compare the results.
I'm trying to decide which one looks best on all body types and would be something you could see a "sexy server girl" wearing. (and would be easiest to animate but I don't expect most people to know how to identify that.)

Trying to figure out a good outfit that'd work for a casino that'd be fairly universally flattering.
Pivot obviously needs it, but I want it to work for other girls too (using Socket as an example).
Which ones do you like?
Patreon commission for DiabolicalJellyfish, of two characters from Problem Child.
"Soon"
Very light update to start the chapter, before I start getting deep into things.
Will be live Sunday! https://www.pv02comic.com/
Two patreon rewards, for Darkvenom and Izzy.
Natsuki getting some gentle tentacles (gentacles??) and Izzy's character hacking himself to climax.
I think this wraps up my backlog, actually. If you had given me a reward request and I haven't gotten to it, message me.
So, I spent the evening getting the script for pretty much most of the next PV02 chapter typed up (spoilers: it's something I've been building up to for a while.)
This made me realize how badly I want to do this next part animated, and exactly what I want to do.
So, to get everything laid out:
I'm going to try and make it happen, but this is basically the next big thing to expect from me, and is a really important project for me. Override is a huge milestone for my work.
PATREON REWARDS!
Some femdom yuri, and some Mythra gettin tentacled that I got a bit carried away with it cause I liked the idea.
Update: wowzers I made Mythra's arms long. I've shrunk em down a bit to the best of my ability.
Reward for Nufinger of his robo girl OC Osmium, who he was working on design iterations of.
Filler update! Pivot's gay thoughts.
Full update / chapter start will be next week!
So, with Hiro 2 out, and my vacation over, it's time to get things sorted out. HERE'S WHAT I GOT PLANNED:
If you guys wanna spitball ideas at me, feel free to as well! This may seem like a lot of stuff but it's really a fairly normal workload, to be honest, and still leaves a lot of gaps for me to work on more things or do sketches, etc.
Hi!
Reward for Xero293
Lea a cute
SFW so it's separate from the other one!
Rewards for Asmcint and CatKingAngel!
Little late on rewards, these are from last month. Getting caught up after the Hiro release and vacation time.
I'm mostly getting back into the habit of drawing now that my vacation is over.
And tonight I drew a lot. Twas a night of degeneracy.
OPEN THE ZIP AT YOUR OWN RISK :v Contains:
By request, I've made a few wallpapers available. Ultrawide and standard 16:9.
ALSO PATREON NOW HAS IMAGE SETS IN POSTS HOLY CRAP THIS IS SO COOL : D
Not a lot this month due to the releases, but recent art's been added. You can see the 'activity' tab on the right side of the screen to see what's new.
You can watch Hiro at the youtube link above or the Newgrounds link below!
Well, the stream was a total bust.
Had almost 500 viewers which would've been awesome if Youtube didn't first give me a 500 Internal Server Error when trying to stream (literally 4 minutes before I was going to start, the entire stream section of youtube went down), delaying things by an hour, followed by an audio desync of 5 seconds that made it impossible to show off the animation.
It was just that ingestion too, I found out. Doing a private event later, I had no issues with sync.
It's incredibly frustrating and disheartening. I had been planning for this stream for 2 weeks and have had no major issues with streams for 4 months of work, only for there to suddenly be issues when I try to present the final product.
Hiro 2 instead is just going to premiere via a youtube premiere tomorrow. I won't be able to do a live QNA showing as a result, but it'll be at this link: https://youtu.be/f-7AlOJ71kI
I've also made new merch, for anyone interested:
https://www.redbubble.com/people/zedrin - Stickers, various sizes available
https://teespring.com/stores/zedrins-store - Stickers (single size) and t-shirts
I'm still on break technically til the 31st, but I have some stuff planned (using some new animation tricks) for when I get back at least.
Here's the thumbnail I'll be using for Friday's release!
Figure y'all might be interested in it. It's 16:9 but is only 720p, so there may be a TINY bit of scaling if you use it on a full HD monitor.
Due to flight delays I instead had nothing to do tonight so I streamed a little.
Gardes + Pix, and Akane invites you to touch her t....tail.
NEW PV02 AAAAAAAAAAA
And this is the final update for the chapter! Will be up this Sunday.
There'll be a short break between this update and the next.
IT'S HERE
READY FOR YOUR EYEBALL PLEASURE
HOOOOO
Click here to watch (via Google Drive)
You can watch Hiro the Dense 2 early! The full premier will be streamed to Youtube and put on Newgrounds next week on Thursday, and the public release will be on Youtube the following Friday. Total runtime is 9 minutes 11 seconds.
Options to download are disabled until after the video's full release.
Please do not distribute the link or file btw. I've had a few projects in the past that I've finished only for them to get uploaded to some Discords. It's only a week and a few days til the public launch anyway.
If you notice any glaring errors, feel free to let me know as well. If it's fixable or serious enough I have time to go through and make changes.
In the meantime: i need to make thumbnail art and consider merch stuff :v but also I'm mostly gonna be taking a break for now.
Hiro 2 is essentially done! I'm waiting the final day to see if there are any final changes to make to the credits, based on any missing or misspelled patrons. (If you're of an applicable tier, see the prior post for more info.)
The audio is all done, got music put in for key moments, the VFX are rendered out (giving the background a nice soft 'bloom' effect).
The Patreon version should go up this Wednesday or Thursday, and then the public release will be on Youtube on Friday the 26th! (It'll also go up on Newgrounds a day early, and I'll have a live viewing at that time too.) Til then, if you notice any glaring errors, or feel like something is missing or off, feel free to point them out. I'll see if I can't get any problems resolved before then or if they're worth the effort. (Though this'll depend on how fast Premier is at rendering too.)
With this (and the next PV02 update which I need to rush to complete), content's gonna be a bit sparse until August. I'm taking a short vacation starting Wednesday, and I've got someone coming out to visit for 2 weeks. There are still several rewards I need to do but if need be they'll be rolled into next month (and will still be valid regardless of the individuals' patronage status. If you get the milestone and make your request but you have to withdraw before I've finished your piece, you'll still get it!)
I also do still need to do things like the thumbnail, and I wanna try and think of any merch to do for Hiro 2.
Thank y'all for supportin my dumb ol projects ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
This is a check for any $5 and up patrons. If you see an error in your name or you weren't included properly, message me ASAP! You have til tomorrow evening.
$20, $10, and $5 supporters all get their own sections (in that order).
Just showing this animation effect off cause I like it a lot.
Also, some more stills from the flashback that I needed to add!
Strelok is about 50% done with the audio, we should have it done by tomorrow. I only need to get Hiro's logo stitched on his shirt, and that's done. Then I'm good to render to PNG sequences, do VFX, and finalize!
SO. Overview.
Hiro 2 is getting real close. I REALLY wanna have it public by the end of the month, but to do that I'd need to get it ready for you guys here on Patreon within a week. That's a really tall order.
When I lipsynch I add in small gestures and bounces, as well as any detail animation. All the core animation is done otherwise. All 5 scenes have a base audio file prepared for me to load in and sync to (though I usually wind up making tweaks anyway)
So, not a lot left! I'm trying hard to get it done as a someone's coming out to visit me later this month, and I don't wanna be working on this + don't wanna delay it further while she's here.
As a little WIP, this is from scene 02 (pre-lipsynch) where I redid the vine.
If you remember the old one, it was just a tentacle swiping at her and snatching her up. This one actually feels like a vine growing. Was super easy to do too! I'm really proud of this shot.
The thing with timing and audio, the audio is often SO much longer than you expect. I can easily extend frames, but still, when I'm expecting a scene to be 2000 frames and then it winds up actually being 4300 frames, that's just more lipsynching I have to do. Which I can do, lipsynching is a specialization of mine. And the bounce dynamic I have makes it easy to do long stills of dialog without feeling stiff. But still, just kinda get floored by the length.
ANYWAY. Strelok's starting the audio processing now. He's got the materials just for scene 01 since i got all that done. When I get all 5 scenes to him, I'll start working on post processing + the credits scene.
Oh, and music. I need to figure out music.
SO I guess I need to include a heads up about this now: I will be using supporter status for this month up until the 16th for making the Patreon credits page, for $5 supporters and up! (There's a chance I may extend this but for now, assume that the 16th is the deadline to make sure your pledge is in order if it's not yet.)
I will be using your name as Patreon reports it to me from the relationship manager, so your displayed name will be what's used. For $20+ patrons, I'll use your icon, so if you wanna update that, be sure to do so! If there's any complications or concerns (or like, say you want to be excluded for whatever reason) just message me and I'll add a note in the manager.
This time around I'm also gonna give $10 supporters their own section in the credits too, sorta like how a few friends / peers of mine do.
Thank you all for your patience and support with this project! I'm super pumped to see it come to completion!
Coincidentally like half the rewards so far this month involved taking characters of mine and making em thicc :v Got em done tonight.
Relay got some 'upgrades' to try and impress someone but she might be regretting it now.
And Cesil's trying to make an 'hourglass' potion but the first batch isn't quite there yet
Also gothicc version
Short update. Base audio is set! Got all lines, all retakes, and everything meshed together to make audio files for each scene that I can lipsynch off of.
Now I just need to lipsynch / do the minor animations, then send it off to Strelok for processing / production while I get the credits + visual post processing prepared.
HOME STRETCH, LADS.
So, for those aware, when you hit the $100 in pledges, I offer a request milestone reward.
The hard part is is I have to track this entirely by hand. Patreon has zero systems to notify users or myself when someone hits an amount--I can't even search pledges by their lifetime pledge, just sort by them. If someone changes their pledge at certain points, or they have a decline or late pledge one month, it can result in me missing them all together.
I've been going through my logs to back track, and adding notes on who I've messaged before as well as who I've completed rewards for. I've sent out messages for rewards this month as well as people who I think got skipped.
If anyone wants me to check their current pledge progress, please just send me a message! If you got a message this month, you're good for a request! There may be a few people in the batch who I've already made contact with, so apologies if you got a duplicate message.
I sorted through everyone with lifetime pledges between $100 and $200, who are currently active patrons with a successfully fulfilled pledge for this month. (So if your pledge declined or is late coming in and you think you might be at the marker, feel free to ask me. Pledges only count to your progress when they fully process.)
Just for reference:
You can search the "Reward" tag to see a few examples of rewards done for others in the past.
just a lot of different sketches from tonight, including:
You can download them individually or from the degeneracy july 4.zip file
wow i got this one done early this week
powered through it while watchin a stream :v
May start getting 114 ready, since I got a trip coming up this month.
also oh no Socket's been ambushed
The art drive has been updated with June's art! You can get access at the link above or here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1W6uHCSRAapxHGGEfveAhYA7d1Q10eVGV
As usual it's sorted via various folders, with SFW and NSFW separated, as well as by character, save for sketches which are grouped by date instead.
I said I'd do it and I did :v
The stickers are available as die-cut stickers from here: https://teespring.com/stores/zedrins-store
If I had a way to do a big sticker sheet I totally would.
EDIT: just found out that Teespring doesn't ship stickers to the EU, so I put them on Redbubble as well.
https://www.redbubble.com/people/zedrin?asc=u
Redbubble has different sizing options than Teespring as well. I think in general teespring'll be a bit cheaper for the size by a few cents, but RB has more sizes and has a discount if you get multiple of the small sizes.
Also added a zip for the downloads
From a commission, but since it's strictly my characters, the source file seems like it's fine to share
A lot of news has been floating around this past month regarding things like hypno content being banned on Patreon.
As I've mentioned before, I do what I can to keep in contact with Patreon themselves, and discussed this problem in their official server (the discussion actually went on for a few days, with a few people who had even worked for payment processors in the past chiming in).
The problem is, these policies aren't Patreon's at all. These kind of policies come from payment processors and are forced upon platforms. There's basically three options:
The first knee-jerk reaction when stuff like this happens is "Go to Subscribestar!" Subscribestar is going to have the exact same problems, and if they haven't yet it's only because they're too small to be subject to scrutiny. (Fun fact: even pornhub doesn't allow you to monetize anything with the word 'hypno' in it.)
For the record, Patreon has a history of fighting and negotiating with them to lax things up. This is why Paypal can be used on NSFW pages now--originally it could not. This also is likely why they moved their payment processor to the EU, because the laws regarding NSFW content are slightly more lax there. (Note that this is an assumption, there's no confirmation of this being the reason.)
A REALLY good explanation was provided by u/steve_gutenberg over on Reddit.
Additionally, on the forums, staff reached out to me and gave an explanation that stuff that has clear consent is allowed. Everything is assessed on a case-by-case basis, and if there's a violation, as has been the policy for a while now, they work with the creator to resolve it. (Again, this is why the introduction of page suspensions were very important, because before the only option was to delete a page.) Patreon does have the stance of stuff promoting lack of consent shouldn't be allowed, and I can't fault them for that--that's been their policy for an incredibly long time, and they do acknowledge that things like hypnosis can require a bit of assessment to sort out.
My page is not in any danger at all. I have a variety of content, and I do hypno stuff only on the occasion. I don't intend to change what I do, but I may adjust how or where it's presented. Staff does know that people are very unhappy about this matter, but a lot of peoples' first reaction is to jump ship, not knowing the true nature of the problem.
It's not cheating, it's just being endowed with a natural gift.
Also some tiny Cesils. These would maybe make for good stickers.
HOME STRETCH
All the base animation is done. All that's left is lipsynching and detail work, animation wise, and then BGs and audio finalization.
I got the lines in this week and have also started on the backgrounds.
So the order of work is:
The BGs got a little bit of a facelift. They're slightly cell shaded now, as well as lineless, instead of textured.
WE IN THE ENDGAME NOW
This was supposed to get posted last night but my internet wasn't cooperating.
Raiju from MGE and some artwork for Darian's story.
Patreon commission for Drewsgroove! He wanted to see Pivot and Socket makin some love.
I decided to try integrating a few more 'realism' elements. I like it.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
I can't remember if I labeled the layers at all but I do know my sorting on this was pretty easy to follow.
i think i'm changing comic shading styles yet again WOOPSIE
on a scale of 1 to Relay, how good are you at managing stress?
A WINNER IS SOCKET
WIP. Harmony 17 features a new deformer that works very similarly to the puppet deformer in AE. MY LORD IS IT NICE. It's super easy to set up and use, and is incredibly responsive.
It's a new fav.
Poll 1's winner was Tiddy Drop (by like 4%). So, whomst should be doing the dropping of tiddy?
you can vote for as many options as you'd like.
If you see a comment suggestion you like, be sure to "like" it to add your vote to it as well.
Pinup piece of Curly Brace, also edited to be Socket! I like how this came out.
Pretty tame / vanilla but sometimes vanilla is good.
Comes in black and white vs color, small vs full res, and portrait vs wallpaper formatted. 12 files total, contained in the zip.
also, bonus sketch:
boob smoosh
Patreon reward for Thurosis.
Decided to try doing a bit of an 80s-anime stylization.
Just thinking of some gif ideas to make next. Will poll the idea first, then the character.
Some kinks / ideas might be compatible with stuff in this list too, so if you don't see something you'd want on here, feel free to comment it and it might get worked into whatever the result is.
Little thing for a friend of her gardevoir-hex maniac hybrid. :y
Character by https://twitter.com/Nephrited
The recent gif of Cesil has been the most interaction I've ever had on any of my art, so I did this to celebrate :v
Some previews of the "dialog bounce."
No more deliberating, I need to get the audio this week, lol. Time to contact my VAs.
Also here's the mom cause she cute.
FINAL STRETCH FOR THIS.
once in a blue moon i get in a mood.
this is one of those moons.
gomen
also a doodle of Limebreaker's Blue
just a few doodles.
I've been suffering from major burnout.
Committed projects I can stick to fine but it's incredibly difficult to have interest in my own personal work as of late.
another WIP. Going back to tackle scene 01, animating Angry.
LOOK AT ME CHEESE THE TURNAROUNDS IM SO LA--I MEAN, EFFICIENT
Cesil streak tonight.
Got this done finally. I like it.
Animating 8 legs is HELL
Patreon reward for Luigi! Cesil in a maid outfit, how could I decline?
Wallpaper formatted in 16:9 for up to 1440p!
Reward for D.Jack of his character Ten
Hypno + fuckmachine oh my
Scene 04 is almost done / in the final stage like scenes 2 and 3. Here's a bit of a walk animation I worked on today.
I still need to do all of 5, however 5 is only 2 camera angles so it's easier, and I need to finish up 1.
Then I need to get the audio, do the lipsynching / additional movements, BGs, and any final polish.
WIP
Can't work too long straight til i get the replacement screws for this new tablet's mount.
New update! Will be live Sunday
drawn entirely on the new tablet!
My new tablet arrived for review, so I drew something up to get acclimated to it / practice with it.
I need to get some screws so I can attach the stand (they were missing in the package) but I like it a lot. Active area is identical to my Intuos 4 XL, the texture feels like paper, and the pressure sensitivity is pretty smooth (though I have been having issues where its pressure curve is more like an S-curve: can do really fine lines or really thick lines, but it's tough to do a gradual transition between the two.)
The downsides so far are the drivers are really finnicky to set up and it lacks a tilt function.
woo another animation. Cesil's convinced her body is scary.
And here's the rig (not yet animated at all)
This one's sorta well done and took a while so I'm probably gonna save it for future use.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
4 files, all are pretty simple (they're in my 'sketch' folder instead of my normal art folder.)
Technically Curly Brace won the recent poll eventually, but when I had checked it Fox Girl was in the lead. So I did a gif of her.
WIP, will be done soon acutally. All the motion's done and it's just a matter of filling in the parts
STILL NEEDS A NAME AAAAAAAA
I think i'm gonna do a lewd gif or something. I'll figure out the details when I figure out what character to do.
Vote to decide. You can vote for more than one option.
Got this done today. This is about as complex as I can get it.
CSP is really good for frame by frame stuff, but for managing a lot of parts it gets really really slow and gets tough.
Two versions for this: one where Rotty's all natural and one where she has a strapon. (It's just a color swap thing.)
I also have some other doodles I did tonight. Elf, some chounyuu, and a WIP of something, potentially, if I can figure out who.
I've been struggling motivation and inspiration wise lately. I might need to spitball some ideas around.
man i haven't been able to post art in a while.
but we back. and i come bearing moms.
Curly, a gardevoir, mom-bot, and Garter wishing she was one.
YEAH
got more progress done today.
i still need to actually get in contact with my VAs and get the audio prepared.
I sitll need to tweak some parts of this shot but I like where its' goin.
woo, was able to get this done with just 2 days to spare.
my hand is starting to feel better so hopefully art should be back on next week.
While this has to do with Pornhub, it's not a NSFW, it's mostly business related.
There's basically been a really weird chain of events that turned out as a HUGE positive, with the capstone today. To just give a rundown of events:
This also makes the prospect of making long format NSFW animations much more lucrative. I always planned to do more either way eventually.
I've always been skeptical on Pornhub, even when they were supposedly doing good, because it often felt like more of a publicity stunt. With the way they handled this situation and their policy changes I now feel a lot more comfortable about them.
This also means I'll have extra money available, so I can get the PV02 website updated much sooner than expected.
(Also cause it always comes up in the comments even if it's not related: youtube has also been doing well on the support side of things too. That's a whole other discussion and one that hasn't impacted me, but both companies have stepped up their customer support game as of late.)
decided to try and work a little today cause my wrist was feeling fine.
only was able to work for an hour, then my hand started giving warning signs so I stopped.
bleh.
so, my RSI appears to have resurfaced. My wrist has been in periodic pain from cramping, and all day yesterday and this morning I had a sharp pain in the back of my wrist.
Basically I can't draw at all until this is healed. If it doesn't clear up in a day or two there won't be a PV02 update this week.
I have no idea how long it'll take to recover. Sometimes it's a few days, sometimes it's as much as two weeks.
In the meantime, Patreon is changing their fee structures on the 7th. Pages that are up before then will lock in founder status, allowing them to use the old fees as well as get the "standard" tier for the same cost as it is now (5%, instead of 8%)
Here's a tiny preview of Hiro 2, where Izilith manages to break free.
The vines in the first shot I need to tweak more to make em look better / less linear. Trying to find the balance of cost effectiveness + visual quality. (The vines in the second shot after the flash are literally just 4 objects with linear tweening, but get pretty much exactly the look I'm aiming for.)
I like her pose and landing animation a lot. At this part Hiro grabs her hand and she goes shojo.
SO with Shantae on top, who should be on the bottom? You can vote for as many options as you'd like!
If a girl is selected, I'm debating between giving her a dick, or using a strapon. Both are seem like good ideas so comment what you think.
Full gif will probably be flat colors.
The bunday drawings, the sketches and animation doodles I did this last month, and anything else has been added to the archives.
Shantae won the vote
One of my robo-gals technically was ahead, but looking on it that'd require a lot more work to replace. This isn't like Toon Boom or Flash where I can easily swap out parts. Once I do something frame by frame, I pretty much have to commit to it. Robot joints don't factor into that sadly.
This is almost done. Just need to add the shins and... figure out what to do about Mr. Dickhead.
Also have a bonus gif.
So, I did a few different sizes for this animation.
I have no idea what character to make it though, so I'm open to suggestions. After I get a bunch I like I'll post a poll on who it should be.
Suggest whatever ones you like, and if you like someone else's suggestion in the comments give em a heart!
oh right, here's also a sketch of some stuff from tonight. Mostly Cesil and Pivot and an abandoned Mimi pic.
Got the missing rewards done. 7 images in the zip, for:
you can also see em publicly at https://twitter.com/zedrinbutt
did a donation stream today
i got way more than i expected so half of them will have to wait til later this week
i'd say 'til tomorrow' but my hand is cramping up hard and i don't want to get another RSI
10 pics in the zip
Man I keep sayin to myself "this week I'm gonna get a lot done for Hiro 2'
but then it's a week where i have a lot of other stuff goin on
Not unproductive stuff mind you but still.
ANYWAY, I at least got the flashback stills completed. Bees, orcs, goblings, and plants. Next time I work on Hiro 2 it'll be back to just usual animation and stuff.
Might have it ready by June? If that's the case that'll be interesting, 1 year anniversary.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
All 5 pictures are contained in the same file, and each one follows a similar layout.
And here's the NSFW ones.
there'll be another thing i plan to work on tomorrow too, if anyone wants to catch my stream! https://picarto.tv/Zedrin
gonnaaniamtesomeMimiinabunsuit
Makin 2 posts cause I REALLY LIKE ALL OF THESE but some are too saucy.
So here's the SFW ones. I streamed for 7 hours today gettin 5 things done. :v And I still have more I want to do.
Another Pokemon reward, this time more gjinka-y!
Teachers.
I did up some rough art for a 5e homebrew race I did up. I wanted to do something like a kitsune without them being ancient powerful spirits--something instead more grounded that could believably form a society on their own (also without overriding other peoples' interpretations of kitsune).
It's a lightweight, easy to implement race, so while I haven't tested it, it should be pretty solidly balanced. (Honestly the only thing I'd maybe change if it's too much is remove 'enthrall' from the once-per-rest spells. Or maybe limit it to just the cantrip.)
If you're interested in the race, you can check out the file on Homebrewery here

or you can download the PDF from the attachments. (The link above will auto-update if I make any changes.)
working on some frame by frame animation in Clip Studio Paint.
Namely cause drawing in CSP is just nicer than drawing in Toon Boom.
anyway, wip. I'm calling this 'grindzuri' cause it gets the idea across best. ('frotting' usually is male-on-male, and I can't think of any other unique terms that'd fit.)
what it says on the tin
done in about 2 hours, from that gif i started last month.
Was requested to do some MB, so I did it on Zee, cause she's my fetish fuel mule.
Also some BE of Cesil.
Anonymous patron commission! Pix somehow got a dick.
First thing she does when she gets it is try to get it off.
And like a true slut she can only interpret that one way.
There's 4 variants in the zip for each version! Normal, cum, milk, and all, in regular and hyper variants.
some bits from Plant Mom's backstory scene. These'll all be just stills so I'm doing them in CSP where I have more control.
I was in a mood
Drew my friend's character Sakeko with my still unnamed fox.

if anyone sees anything odd or confusing on this, please lemme know! this'll go live on Sunday at https://www.pv02comic.com/
Patreon reward for Salty Cupcake of his chubby shortstack octoling, as well as a few doodles of various gardevoir mom types. :v
Ver 1 is clothed, 2 is naked, 3 is without fishnet.
oh yeah, also a succubus doodle of Mimi and the new succubus
Dragonaxable's two eeveelution girls, done for a Patreon reward.
I'm really doin a lot of sketches this month.
That fox girl I made, some D&Doodles, Garter, and my friend's character Spark is desperate for some pixie puffs.
Milestone reward for Jullius
FE outfits are COMPLICATED :rage:
Mimi, a random busty faelin, shortstack Palutena (+ BE), Shantae BE, and a Pivot vs Socket comparison.
Not gonna post previews for all of em in the comments here cause some are sequences. You can get everything at once from the April 3rd zip.
Originally was gonna just be a sketch but I colored it.
Click and Spark are kinda loosely girlfriends now I guess? They're both tiny. Luckily for Spark, Click kinda likes em dumb. Spark is owned by Nephrited.
Also other doodles. Started off as DND stuff, with robo-milf and a jinx thrown in.
Hey guy, put a lot of work into this one! I got some voice acting help from Courtney (Project SNT) to make this happen.
A lot of people really like Cesil and are pretty open about crushing on her, so I decided to cater to them a little. Slap on some headphones and take a listen!
End of the month, so here's a link to the Google Drive where all the art is stored!
I added March's art, some gifts for friends I had forgotten to upload, and gifs from Curly Brace hacked 2.
I'm still deciding whether or not to post 100% OC commissions / rewards. Ones that are just fanart were definitely added, however.
Reward for Sirenity of their cyborg girl
Just wanna get some ideas / see what people would be interested in next. I have ideas for all 4 of these categories that I want to do, so don't worry about "just do what you want!"
We got the luxury of options, here :V
You can vote for whatever items you think would be the most interesting to see. I'm not beholden to the poll but if there is something that's overwhelmingly popular I'll lean towards that most likely.
If you have an 'other' suggestion, type it in the comments

I don't have a very good place to upload the small boob ending of Curly Brace hacked 2, but I could upload it to twitter I realized.
I wanted to check with you guys however as originally I said it was gonna be Patreon exclusive. What would you guys prefer?
(If you missed it, check the post for Curly Brace Hacked 2. There's an additional link for the small boob finish.)
I felt like drawing some succs tonight.
Saucy outfits, but no nudity.
Lily from Story of a Succubus (SUPER FUCKING CUTE FREE TO READ ONLINE LIGHT NOVEL AAA.)
and an 80s style sketch of Mimi, cause I watched a bit of Blue's stream earlier today and got inspired by her.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
Just realized I forgot to post these.
The pivot butt file has some weird cropping. Was originally gonna be a sketch page.
Part of me is thinking it might be easier to just post all source files at the end of the month
(Just a note, unless a request is generic, I will not post source files for commissions, requests, or milestone rewards, just cause it winds up feeling a bit too personal to the requestee.)
quick Bday gift for my friend Dee of her girl Bailey :v
wrong spell... or right spell?
Curly Brace: Hacked 2 is now available to the public via Newgrounds!
(While this is a public post, it should be warned that the linked location is NSFW. Hopefully obviously. I don't have a way to make a public post while simultaneously filtering which patrons see it however.)
The original Patreon post has been updated to make the video files downloadable.
Reward for Justinelewd of their sheep / satyr girl!
So, cat's out of the bag, NDA's lifted, and finally I can discuss this .
A few months ago I was in an interview about some upcoming Patreon changes.
Up front I'm going to mention that this does not impact existing pages. This page will not see anything different.
A lot of people are going to be in a panic over this on twitter so I want to address this here to try and assuage some fears.
Basically, Patreon is implementing different plans for new pages.
At the moment, pages have their payment processor fees, and then a 5% fee to Patreon. Processor fees are a bit erratic but are batched together at the end of the month.
The upcoming plans are for different sizes of creators and are as follows:
Lite
Pro
Premium
They're also changing their fee structure again. This is honestly the biggest point of contention. Again, this only applies to new pages.
The fee rates here are not absurd like they were December 2017. The caveat here is that these payments will be immediate, not batched. For patrons, this doesn't affect anything, but for pages, it'll mean more individual fees. This is part of the problem from 2017's payment fee changes that were veto'd (with the exception that pages are responsible for the fees entirely).
That all said, this is actually where Patreon still has an advantage versus competition. The smaller fee for smaller pledges actually make Patreon Lite identical to other platforms like Subscribestar, but with a slightly lower fee. (Most competition is per-pledge fee.)
Existing pages meanwhile still are able to batch their payments, reducing processor fees. (I feel like Patreon should lean into this as a big advantage over competition.)
I am trying to suggest the idea of pro-rating payments to the forums so that way Patreon can continue to batch processor fees for new pages. It doesn't seem like a good idea to change the model in a way that lets Paypal / Stripe just take a bigger chunk, and batch processing was one advantage to using Patreon over being independent.
Again, just to reiterate: these changes will not affect existing Patreon pages. They have been adamant about that fact. This'll only affect new pages, and, while not totally positive changes, are also not entirely terrible / the worst things ever. A lot of people are going to have an exceptionally negative reaction to this (and this is something I warned about in the interview with them), but all of it is opt-in. The worst thing is the processor fee changes for new pages (not the 5%/8% change, tbh). And some of the proposals are actually good (for the few creators who'd use the Premium tier, that's actually a pretty good thing for instance.)
If you've wanted to make a Patreon page or are considering it in the future, do so now so you can get founder status. You can get this status as long as you register before May.
This week is a catchup week. This is a reward from last month, for Tathers for hitting his milestone reward.
The BG is simpler than it looks :V Largely just some art brushes. (imstillnotverygoodatbackgroundslol)
Today I mostly got things colored, but also did a bit of animating for some scenes and did some more poses.
The plant girls all are now in TECHNICOLOR™
Also Izilith gets bondage'd
Got a whole bunch of gifs!
One of them (BE) is pretty big, I didn't have a way to cut it down in size.
Then the credits loops I added a filter over to reduce their colorspace slightly, but they're still pretty big.
BUT here's the gifs!
i was in a mood
variants / full sizes in the downloads! WP designates a wallpaper size (analogous to the 'small' denotation)
bonus: sketches
This concludes the memory arc!
This update was a bit of work. It's the length of two, decide to make it physically long so I could not only play with more space but also play with the feelings that'd evoke.
Dunno 100% how well it worked. If I were to cut it to a book I'd probably move the middle images down a bit, so page 1 would cut off right after the third "GET OUT OF MY HEAD."
Either way
YAY IMPOSSIBLY EDGY UPDATES!
this isn't even the end of the chapter yet
Spent the day roughing out the flower bloom animations for the alraune.
Plant mom has the mandatory boob bounce.
I'm gonna get the audio together / script bits for the VAs prepared soon.
I still need to go back and do some of the more animated bits in scene 01. Scene 03 and 04 are mostly dialog so it shouldn't be tough, and scene 05 already has the rough animation in the animatic so it'd just be a matter of following those.
I don't want to deadline myself but I maaaay be able to have this done mid-April? That'd be ideal. Animation is weird--when you start, it feels like "yeah I can get this done in a week." Then the week turns into a several-month projection. And then you feel "oh my god I have so much to do still..." And then it hits you you only have like a few days left of work til it's finished.
Today was Gardevoir day.
I did a request stream over Picarto for it. These are the results.
There are so many that I'm not gonna post the individual ones here, but you can download em all as a zip, or individually from this post.
GUESS WHAT GUYS
You can watch the Patreon early access version at the following link!
For those of you who also don't care much for BE / large boobage there is also an alternate ending that uses her original size! This is gonna be a patreon exclusive secret scene--I actually did this upon request from a milestone reward.
Both files will be downloadable at the same location after their public release (unless I have updates to make).
These will all be publicly available in 2 weeks, so if you're interested in sharing with friends, you'll be able to at that time! Until then, if anyone notices any glaring errors, do let me know and I can fix them before the public release.
I'm gonna prepare a few gifs as well, if anyone wants some for their collection. While I'll post em publicly in some way shape or form, Patreon will be an easy place to get them in one location.
Thank you all for supporting me with this. It hasn't been long after the last animation (that was only published back in December) but honestly, a short turnaround time is probably a good thing. (And, despite editing woes of both the audio and video variety, I had a lot more fun animating this one than I did the Shantae one. And also (re)learned a few more "NO SHIT SHERLOCK" points. (Like "DON'T MAKE MULTIPLE SCENE FILES FOR A SINGLE CONTINUOUS SCENE."))
What NSFW project is next is a bit of a mystery at this point--I'm leaning to the idea of doing a small comic of some sort, as well as going back to doing a few, shorter, more dynamic gifs. In the SFW field there's still Hiro the Dense 2 which is gonna be my big animation focus for the next month or two.
I've gotten the credits sequence done for Hacked 2. Click the link above to preview.
Names are sorted alphabetically, and are based on both February and March's data (relevant up to the 3rd. So if were in the $20 tier for February, but moved to $5 before March, you'll still be in the VIP section!)
If there's a mispelling of a name (I copied direct from Patreon so there shouldn't be) or there's a problem with the image used--OR you just don't want to be featured at all, or anything else of that nature, let me know!
Everything will be final by Wednesday, which will be when I upload the full thing for Patrons! You have til then to let me know if there's any problems.
BIG EXCITE SHE'S ALMOST HERE
I was in the mood to draw some hyper tiddy. So I did.
Also, not depicted, but in the downloads: some Click doing her usual large insertion thing.
The animation is rendered!
All that's left is to do the credits scene, then compile everything into a single video.
For people in the $5 or higher tiers, I will use data from February and March both. I will collect names for the credits until this Saturday.
As before, Strelok will be helping me with audio (or should be), and I will have vocalizations available.
I decided to zoom the action bits in a little, especially in the last scene, just to make things more prominent / use up more screen space.
The console on the left is where Quote types in commands, and the screen up top monitors Curly's "love" and "hack" levels. She also has a little internal reaction in the form of a little graphic.
The credits scene will be a loop of the paizuri gif + some simple hypno elements, with the credits scrolling by overhead. Total runtime of the full thing is about 3:50, but will be longer when the credits / precredits are in.
SFW, no worries.
These are just for the brief lead-in and few dialog pieces in the animation. Basically emulating the game's posing but in my style.
I figured people here might appreciate them.
Man, today was obnoxious trying to update. Some parts somehow had their pivots offset and nothing I did fixed their positioning, so going from scene 4 to scene 5 (an invisible transition) resulted in skipping of certain parts.
I had to rerender 3 scenes about 4 times each to get everything fixed. And all fixes had to be done manually.
I didn't get as much done as I wanted to today, however I did make a really big discovery and wondered why I wasn't using this earlier!
Toon Boom has 'save as new version'
I've heard people talk this down but never specify why, so I decided to test it out.
New version links the libraries and drawings. So if I make an edit to a drawing in version 1.0, the drawing will see the edit in version 2.0. However, if I add or remove a drawing from version 2.0, the drawing will still exist in 1.0 (or won't exist if it was added).
That last bit is something I actually greatly benefit from and it works perfectly for scene control. It's allowed me to organize my Hiro 2 scenes without having to sort through a bunch of displays.
This'll be a big improvement efficiency wise. I forgot to test if it affects pegs too.
I have no idea how I hadn't messed with this feature earlier.
Was almost done last night when I had to cut the stream, so I opted to do a milk edit.
Also I was in the mood for some garde stuff.
Post credits scene animation I worked on today.
Didn't finish because I got a call that a family member was having car trouble in the middle of the rain and I needed to pick up my grandma and finishing bringing her home.
Which it's been storming all day here so the roads were pretty wet and by the end of it I was soaked and cold and I hate everything.
So I was watching a playthrough of a Cave Story mod where you discover Curly's backstory and how she came to care for the mimiga kids.
Jenka jokingly calls her "mom" when you rescue them and offer to care for them and then my hand slipped.
fun fact: Mimi's source file was number 69. (technically 71 but i had mistagged 2 posts)
ANYWAY
Cesil's source file. As with Mimi, some parts may be suggestive, and the various animation layers are grouped and synced.
Cesil has an additional pair of animation groups for her hair lineart and color, which is only occasionally used for elements that repeat (most outfits have unique hairstyles so I integrated them to the clothes).
Her body is also more complicated as I separated her legs into two groups, for in front and behind her (which in hindsight was completely unnecessary and only made more work for me.)
As before, clicking a frame on the timeline, or a layer in an animation group will take you to that frame (and thus, outfit) where it appears.
Small update, but I got the scene setup now.
The control panel on the left can cycle frames to progress the animation. Frame 0 is all off for instance, frame 1 is power on, frame 2 is "Prep" engaged, etc.
I also got scanlines up for the curly emote in the corner, yay.
Now what I need to do is get everything to loop (already have the loops sectioned out, just need to figure out how long to make each), and add in the text + typing effects.
I'm also gonna do a bonus gif at the end that's just Curly giving a hypno titjob. Cause that's two of my favorite things. (And I think the closing gif in the first one helped a lot.)
some quick doodles from tonight.
Took a few requests from the lunchbox channel in the Discord.
On note of drive: i will move all sketches and the like to it at the end of the month. (normal art will probably go in there immediately.)
More WIP on the Cesil outfits + hairstyles.
There's two more not depicted (that are mildly NSFW) but I didn't get around to actually lining them tonight. My hand was starting to cramp.
Just some WIP shots.
Today was mostly spent figuring out how to do the workflow properly, cause I'm a lazy fuck and don't wanna manage multiple project files.
I figured something out that's effective and lets me preserve large audio tracks. :V
Stuff that's blue with red outlines is incomplete / placeholder colors.
If you remember that fox girl sketch I posted a while back, she has color now.
This was really sloppily done and honestly she didn't come out with the color scheme I was expecting.
But she's pink now.
Still has big ol humalogonahoongaboongas.
Edit: OKAY i found out why the color felt weirdly familiar to me and why I didn't like it. Turns out a friend showed me a commission they did of a dark skinned, pink-haired fox girl a month or two back.
Definitely changing her color scheme. :V Wasn't really happy with it anyway.
UPDATE:
Colors changed. Much more natural looking now with some reddish brown.
Nothin lewd here, but it's related to a lewd project, so that's your warning
With the animating part complete, I'm working on some of the other interface stuff.
I got Curly's "AI," the background, and the control panel.
Since the animation is confined to a square, my options are to zoom in + crop off parts, or fill up that space. I'm filling it up with a little control panel that'll show Curly's 'internal state' while she's being hacked (shown above) as well as have buttons that Quote will be clicking to activate the next phases of the animation.
This past week has been incredibly busy for me so I haven't had a lot to show. Next week hopefully will be less busy so I can make more headway on this--it's nearly done now.
Most everything from here on out I can't stream cause it requires After Effects and Premier. But once it's ready, I'll hand it off to Strelok for some sound design goodness, and it'll be ret2go.
...might make a bonus gif for the credits. Once everything else is done.
I'm working on adding content to this. It's VERY much WIP.
However this is a drive of all things I've drawn. With Tumblr gone it's very hard to find old sketches of mine.
Be warned: This directories accommodate both SFW and NSFW categories. You can sort by SFW/NSFW first.
This also has all of the PV02 updates
Some of the organization is hell and a lot of galleries are incomplete. I'm missing a lot of stuff and am slowly adding it.
The hard part is, I have to check each thing manually. There's some stuff that I don't want to share (cause it was private / commissioned). There's also some stuff that'd fit into one category, but I named it weird so I won't stumble across it when I search my hard drive.
I'm slightly more organized than most my peers but that's not saying much--my own directory is a mess.
Still, I'll include an update file in the parent directory specifying any recent additions.
In the sketch category, I've made sure to move a lot of niche stuff to a separate folder, however be warned you might still stumble across some extreme stuff in the main nsfw folder. Additionally, the sketch folder is mostly for unsorted sketches otherwise--sometimes character folders may have a sketch folder of their own.
Update 103 is done!
Drama time. More flashbacks, now with twice the memory loss and twice the angst!
Thinking on how to improve my Patreon, one issue I've had is I haven't had an easy way to share my gallery, especially for sketch stuff. I need a way to share uncompressed images. Imgur is now out because it's gone to shit.
One suggestion I got, I'm gonna prepare a google drive gallery and I just wanna know what sorting patterns people would prefer.
All patrons would have access to it.
At the moment, I have four "major" categories:
PV02 is just a backup of the comic.
Animated gifs will just have a SFW + NSFW folder (and a kink folder inside NSFW for the more fetishy stuff). They're sparse enough that I wouldn't need any more complex sorting.
For art and sketches, i wanna know what people prefer sorting wise.
For art, would people prefer it to be sorted as Character, >SFW / NSFW? Or would they prefer SFW / NSFW, >Character?
In the first case, each character has their own sfw/nsfw folder. It becomes easy to get all art of a single character, but less convenient to search by SFW vs NSFW.
For the second case, there's two main folders, for SFW and for NSFW, and then individual folders for each character. It makes it easier to download all NSFW or all SFW, but is less convenient for just looking up individual character stuff.
Which would be preferred?
Then for sketches, I'd do something similar, but instead of being by character, it'd be by date. So I'd either have, say, February 2019 > SFW / NSFW, or SFW / NSFW > 2019 > Jan, Feb, etc.
Sets would still have their own folder in the appropriate area for each character that's relevant, and I'd probably have subfolders for the 'big' size images too.
Let me know what approaches you guys prefer. (If I had a way to put tag systems into google drive, it'd make things a lot easier too. But I gotta work with what I've got.)
Got another 5e game coming up. I made a new character--a crazy elf druid who is obsessed with fungus and some kind of mushroom god.
Also some doodle shenanigans involving another DND char, who previously was shrunk. Now she's shrunk AND a shortstack AND a faelin.
Also Socket is there.
And a tiny Mimi.
I haven't done one of these in a while.
Every few months I put out a poll to see how people feel about the page and to tell me if there's anything I can improve on.
While sign-in is required to prevent duplication, I do not see any names or email addresses for answers, just the date. It's anonymous, so don't feel like you have to hold anything back.
ALRIGHT finally got the timings worked out.
From here I need to get my audio recorded, then just go shot by shot and animate things. Same ol' same ol'.
Blue border is the camera!
The total runtime isn't finalized, this only clocks in at 4 minutes but there probably will be 6 minutes total when the audio's actually put in.
Small update! There are a bit more reactions, such as Quote taking a second to realize Curly's awake, and Curly has excited breathing going on. And there's also SPOOGE. LOADS OF IT.
I've also added breathing bits, similar to in this scene, throughout the rest of the animation where appropriate--namely whenever Curly's idle (as just the process of being 'hacked' is enough to low-key turn her on).
There's a few other tweaks, including a 'prologue' animation (just dialog) where the device turns on, then turns off immediately (due to Quote), with Curly then insisting they turn it back on.
At this point the animation itself is done, I just need to design the set and interface, which I'll probably do this weekend. Wee background design. (And UI design, even MORE fun. /s)
Program: Clip Studio Paint
This source file is slightly saucy (small amount of nudity) but I'll just assume that if you're in the SFW tier, you can decide if you'd wanna still take a look or not.
There's 22 outfits present in this file. That's a lot.
I used CSP's animation timelines to handle making the outfits much easier.
I have 5 folders: 4 animation groups and one standard one. The normal base is in the standard folder.
One animation layer is just to test, and is scratch work for the outfit designs.
The next is for the lineart of the outfits. I used a copy of the lineart of the original lineart to start, and trimmed out anything that didn't share an edge with the outfits. (Alt clicking visibility on a lienart layer will show you what I mean in the source file.)
The last two groups are for the colors. I needed 2 layers in case i needed transparent components, such as for the fishnet.
The lineart animation layer was set to the reference layer, and each layer was assigned a cell position on the timeline. For raster layers I could just make a new cell with the command, but I had to manually link the lineart layers (make layer 1 show up at frame 2, layer 2 show up at frame 3, etc.).
As a result, this meant that when I selected a layer, it'd actively move the timeline for me to when that layer (and all other synced layers) were active. So I'd only ever have 1 lineart layer active, and it'd always display the appropriate raster layer below it.
The source file demonstrates this well, though not so much how to set it up. But it's basically using the animation techniques you'd use in CSP to instead make alt outfits. Because only one reference layer shows at a time, I don't have to worry about overlapping lineart.
I felt like playing dress up. I guess.
Have Mimi in a bunch of different outfits, namely cause her succubus one was in need of an overhaul (as does her ref sheet)
Which ones are your favorite?
I'm giving Mimi an outfit / ref overhaul and I can't decide what I want to do.
In other news, I've been in a funk lately. I blame taxes.
Little something for my friend Neayix cause his birthday is this week
Jale gets flustered around Nahkii :V
just wanted to post this here for completeness.
Just a quick doodle from a 5e game.
Ciel ate some food from the feywild like a DUMBASS and wound up shrinking to 2'9."
She's now shorter than our faelin.
Compiling animatic previews prior to timing things out is a bit hard. I can show individual pages, but until I get timing into TB itself exporting is a bit tricky.
I wanted to get the top one done early however cause it has my favorite scene in this entire thing.
For a bit of context: Hiro is sent on a quest to get Alraune nectar, and he and Izilith have been ambushed by alraunes. They like Hiro cause his order had aided them years ago, and think Izi is mind controlling him so they try to 'save' him.
Here's a few other animatic pieces so far:
Drawn in today's youtube stream. Succubi are weird when it comes to more clothes.
Nearing animation completion! (Still have to do set design)
I think I figured out the best approach for the problems I was having with detail / obscuring. Quote will be a faint silhouette for the looping portion, but will pop in whenever he interacts.
I can also do a close-up in the corner as you can see, so you can still see the juicy bits while he's opaque.
Note that it looks blurry in this version--that's cause of some weird bug I found. The close-up is done by making a second branch of the animation and running it through an offset that runs into a cutter. Unfortunately, for stuff inside the animation, if a cutter is run at some point it turns it into a bitmap upon render, so it's rendered at its original small size so it gets pixelated when the offset zooms it in.
Tl;dr it's blurry cause the offset filter is zooming in a raster version, not a vector like it should.
I already figured out a workaround that'll solve that matter.
I wanna add in some panting for CB too. The final version will have a bit of padding so I can slip some dialog textboxes in--stuff of Quote being concerned when Curly comes-too, a dialog that shows power loss from overusing the machine, etc.
2 files, for both versions that were posted.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
PSD available upon request.
Robots, including CC and Vivi (Scottfalco and Bard Bot)
Also some other doodles:
Fun fact: this accurately shows the size differences between Cesil and Garter by accident.
Garter's proportionally normal, but her human side feels like if you took a 5'10" woman and scaled them down to 4 feet.
Ignore the Jojo tiddies
So someone withdrew a source tier pledge recently with the complaint that I didn't have PSDs available.
The only mention of PSD was in the tier description, where it was meant to be a 'whichever I use' kinda thing, much like with flash vs toonboom, not meant to mean both.
I've used CSP for the past several years so I don't even touch PS anymore, but if that's actually an issue for people in the source tier, literally just ask me, lol. I won't do it for every file by default, but upon request I'll save PSD versions for source posts--some aspects may break however, as they are originally CSP files.
(Seriously I wish more people would just talk to me first if they're unhappy / if there's something they want me to change.)
IM SPENDING SO MUCH TIME WORKING ON BOOB PHYSICS CAUSE THAT'S JUST THE KIND OF PERSON I AM
Animated matte generators are my favorite. That's how I do the rub and the drop and stuff.
ANYWAY this is the last "big complicated" bit. Everything else form here on out is straightforward or mundane (like backgrounds, interfaces, etc.) (yes this includes the bit with Quote, that actually won't require any morphers so I'm not worried)
I am so fucking proud of that drop though.
Commission for Fel of his pathfinder 2e cleric
Only one thing for a preview today, namely cause it took me about 5 hours to get right.
BIG BOOB RUB
Cheelai, part of an art trade with Kevinsano
And some Darling in the Franxx, requested by Tyler for his reward. (Definitely wouldn't draw Franxx stuff of my own accord, lol)
Lotta progress today, makin good time.
That undressing gif was a BITCH HOLY SHIT
it's not 100% perfect but it's about done at least.
Everything else is super easy. Honestly at this point the hardest part will be the backgrounds and set design.
The loop of the big boob bit is done, as well as the BE bit O:
I also did the intro to the first 'machine' usage.
This week I'm gonna try and do the shirt removal and boob rub scenes.
After this scene there'll be a second boob rub (big boob time) and then Quote comes in.
I've also updated the base loop from last update. Main difference is the dick is no longer disembodied and is now a machine.
Which I may tweak still. dunno.
Art trade with my friend Alfa! I drew his character Queen having a bit of trouble after she tried to modify a programmable toy she got :y
Also Zee is there judging her.
Why she doesn't just remove the toy is unknown.
Some of the timings are off (easy fix) but here's the base loop early on in the animation.
Today I spent blocking out the first few shots. I'm on the fence about doing a strip sequence cause while it's very hot and fits the theme super well, it's very hard to animate (has to be almost entirely frame by frame).
I also blocked out an animation of her rubbin her boobs before sitting down, and there's a bit before this where her pussy kinda 'turns on' and starts vibrating slightly.
The canister below her houses some robotics to handle the mechanical dick that's being used int his gif.
While this loops, those canisters above her will come down, poke her boobs and make em swell up a bit.
Other elements like a 'status report' screen, etc. will all be done after the animations are all set.
SFW drawing from a doodle set! Pix in a shrine maiden outfit.
This is included in the NSFW set too, so I get to use the new tier system so only SFW people will see this specific post so the content itself doesn't get duplicated for the NSFW users.
Nifty!
Program: Clip Studio Paint
Here's the source file for the dragon print.
I went through and labeled all the layers! Hooray!
I'll start tagging these with Curly Hacked in case people want a big feed of this project's progress when browsing my patreon page.
I'm making good progress, this shouldn't take much longer tbh. The advantages of working with a single camera angle.
WE HAVE QUOTE NOW
The transparency for him took me a minute to figure out, and I'm not sure it's 100% right yet. The inconsistent transparency might be distracting.
I can alternatively make him evenly transparent, or even a silhouette (though that'll lose some details on him).
What do you guys think?
The ones above will be called gradient transparency.
Here's a few other versions for alpha: flat transparency (consistent, shows details still)
Silhouette transparency (clean, sacrifices detail):
And for control, no transparency (still darkened a little like the others so you can see the difference better):
Edit:
I want Quote to be visible somehow due to A: I put a lot of detail into him, and B: the final part of the scene requires him to be visible. One other idea is to start with a more vague / less visible transparency (like a transparent silhouette) and have it fade to opaque right before the final scene / whenever dialog / interaction is present.
Bday gift for Owl, commissioned by Miko!
Rig's done! For Curly anyway.
I'll need to make a simple rig for Quote when he comes in.
I like the hypno spiral. It's masked with the visor and will just slowly spin..
Thinking on it, I might have a bit of a problem: should Quote be partially transparent so you can see what's going on beneath him? I think in my head I was planning to have him at more of an angle so you could see both, but in practice it doesn't look like that'll be possible.
This spawned off a reward request for Subject Delta and basically spawned a whole new character. :V His request was just an "MGE style dragon girl," and I kinda just came up with her on the fly.
I don't have a name for her yet, likely will use her again sometime.
There's a few files in the downloads!
On a slightly related note, do you guys prefer individual downloads, or zip files for stuff like this?
Patreon reward for Calsetes of his two androids!
Also, WIP of something else, an offshoot of an open-ended reward request.
New character? Print? maybe. *sniff* maybe...
Got Curly rigged up. Next I need to get her sitting pose functional.
With both those done I can then immediately start animating everything.
Going with a new stylization, a lineless one. A slightly more greenish tint to the shadows works well, feels a little bit like the game did.
Just a redesign of a character i'm using in a DND game. She's a food-motivated warlock.
There's an additional version that contains nudity in the downloads. Not really a big deal, but still.
Also, here's an SWF storyboard for Hiro 2, one scene from it (in the middle). You'll need a PC to play it, and it requires flash player of some form. The button on screen moves through screens at your own pace.
UPDATE: Also forgot the Hiro and Izilith updates. Added to the downloads.
I have a lot of boards but they're kinda annoying to export so I'm just gonna preview a small section.
Animation was the winner in the poll!
Basic sequence of events:
Debating also sticking a bit that shows what's going on in her head, or even just a closeup of her face.
WOO
UPDATE 100
WE BACK BITCHES
I'm gonna be doing updates every other week for a while, just so i have more time to write and prepare, and so I can work on other things simultaneously. I'm not 100% sure how to transition to the next phase of the story, so the extra time will help.
As usual, the public release will be up at https://www.pv02comic.com/ on Sunday!
This is saucy but I think it's mostly sfw enough for everyone.
If you want to view them all online instead of downloading them to view, you can do so here! https://imgur.com/a/WvLARBP
so I believe Curly has won (not everyone's voted, but she has a decent lead), but lo and behold that's the one thing I don't have an idea of what to do
Or I DIDN'T but then ideas came to me and I know what'll work now :V
Thing is it can be as an animation OR a comic. Comic will be more in depth / more dynamic, animation is... animated.
Basic premise:
Yay cute consensual ending
If it were animated, it wouldn't have the prequel setup bits, it'd namely just be Curly at the machine, getting modified, doing things, getting progressively hornier, etc., and finally ending with the fucking scene as described. It'd be at a fixed angle too. I wouldn't make it as long as the original Curly Brace animation.
So with that said: which do you guys think it'd be best as? A comic or an animation?
Comic will have more intimate scenes and story, animation would have movement and a video version with sound, at the expense of some context.
So, based on poll results, I had a few ideas that I wanted bounce by you guys.
I'm leaning to doing a comic, but I'm open to singular animations too (these would just be gifs, maybe gifs with sounds.)
Some ideas are more fleshed out or have WIPs already, others are more vague and open to ideas and suggestions.
The ideas I have are as follows:
Pix comic - Pix finds a guy who she's super interested in, who continually ignores her or rejects her. One day she gets the bright idea to hypnotize him to seduce him, but his training instincts kick in and he uses Magic Coat, which reflects the move back at Pix. So Pix is now super obedient to him, he decides that "y'know now that she's not talking, this isn't so bad" and has sexytimes with her. At the end, when Pix wakes up, she remembers nothing, just still feels sexually frustrated cause the guy has gone back to ignoring her.
Mimi Backstory - This is already a WIP. It's a slightly saucy comedy comic of Mimi summoning 'Angry' from Hiro the Dense to help train her in how to be a succubus, only to find out that her father is an incubus and used to date the Demon Queen. After a very weird family moment, the Queen agrees after Mimi's mom offers to act as the Queen's lawyer.
Tape Witch - Another comedy comic that's already a WIP. A short, very flat witch really wants boobs. She attempts a spell, and is frustrated when it fails, only for her to start lactating an hour later. It never stops. She eventually, frustrated, puts tape over her boobs, which seems to work, at least til the next day when she finds that she's swollen up, much to her excitement. As time goes on though, the growth doesn't stop, until everything breaks loose and she manages to flood her cottage, going back to her normal size. (Still leaking.)
Milfbot - I drew up an idea for a milfbot character that I haven't done anything with. I'd be open to suggestions of doing something featuring her, either a short porn comic or animation. I'd wanna know what kinda themes or kinks people would want to see.
Curly Brace - I'm also open to doing more stuff with CB, and am open to ideas there.
Alternatively if there's a theme in particular you really wanna see, or something involving a character not listed, comment it below, or like a comment that mirrors your sentiment. You can vote for multiple options too.
Do note that I'm not gonna do any hardcore NSFW stuff featuring Pivot or the main PV02 characters.
Updated Flux's ref sheet, something I've been meaning to do for a while.
her hair before had a bad case of impossibility-syndrome, and parts of her proportions and design were wonky. I wanted to get things back up to par.
It's not so much a matter of "I've improved at drawing," more "I've gotten more familiar with drawing this character."
Every OC of mine pretty much has wonky elements when they're first made, and I hammer em out as I get into the habit of drawing them.
I wanted to hammer out some updates to designs for Hiro the Dense 2. I have the script in its first draft phase atm, and am having a few trusted friends and peers look over it to suggest ideas and changes.
For Izilith, her outfit is now a bit more interesting, like the Demon Queen's, while HIro's outfit still is sensible for a knight but feels slightly less generic. I'm going to use low-complexity rigs this time around from the start, so everyone should be animate-able.
I also put in some practice for some 'doki doki' bits :V (no not DDLC). I really hated the shot where Hiro got all 'serious' in the original. I love the gag for it, but it's not very well drawn, so I plan to fix that in the sequel.
And then, here are a few alraune girl concepts, who will also play a role. Hiro for scale.
Short doodle.
I need to practice with dudes more.
Not often motivated to, cause I can't just go "UNGA UNGA ME HORNY / ME WANT CUTE OUTFITS"
So, yesterday (and probably for much of today) I spent working on scripts and writing.
I have a few ideas spitballed for some NSFW projects, and then I also updated my script for the review and critique video.
Still need to get started on the next PV02 comic. I'm probably gonna spend a little more time than normal on it, just so I don't rush to get it out. (I may switch to every other week for updates to be honest, depending on how I feel.)
I also finally have an idea for Hiro the Dense 2 and where to go with it.
Here's a super quick breakdown:
I don't wanna spoil the rest of what I have thought up, but what do you guys think? Like where it's going? Have ideas I should stick in? Changes I should make? Plot twists?
This is strictly a morbid curiosity poll (though who knows, maybe it might influence a few draws)
Which kinks interest you in art? You can vote for as many as you want.
You can suggest your own in the comments too, but this is all stuff I've drawn at least once.
I did a spontaneous request stream tonight.
The catch was it had to be other peoples' OCs. Mandated Christmas spirit.
Here are the results!
Small announcement:
The animations are now public!
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/723169 https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/723170
Share with ya friends! Also if you would like to download them, the downloads are now available on the google drive files!
I don't have an update for Christmas, but I felt like doing SOMETHING.
So here's a chunk of the cast in Christmas attire, WP formatted.
Individual pics in the downloads!
I'm planning to put these on Redbubble or Teespring as stickers too.
Update: ON REDBUBBLE! https://www.redbubble.com/people/zedrin
I had a hankerin to draw some kirlia and so Pix happened.
Wallpaper formatted, also full size and alpha versions available!
Now that the Shantae vid is done and nearly ready to go live, I'm thinking about what to do next, in 2019.
I already know what to work on for SFW stuff: Hiro the Dense 2, the second PV02 animation, and my critique video are my next things for that.
But in the NSFW realm I'm trying to figure out what to do, and want to know what you guys wanna see. All of these are more manageable than the last project.
If you also have comments and ideas yourself, please do share!
New video! This'll be premiering Dec 21 (TOMORROW) at 11am pacific / 2pm eastern.
This is a short one that I've been meaning to do for a while. It only took me a few days to make, but I haven't had a chance to sit down and work on it, since I didn't wanna split my focus with the Shantae project underway.
Unfortunately there's no early access for this one cause it's kinda short notice and I needed to get it out before Christmas.
This took a while to upload.
I've prepared a bunch of gifs form the animation. (16 in total!) you can download all of them in the zip.
The zip size is fairly big, and some of the gifs are sizable as well.
IT'S HERE
I don't have an easy way to embed the videos at this moment, but I do have them available via Google Drive. I will upload them public to Newgrounds on or around Christmas.
(Update: Files updated to the proper versions!)
Thank you guys for being so patient with me on this.
I'm in the process of preparing gif versions of various animations (now with tasty shader qualities). Those'll be up soon.
I'll also zip up the Toon Boom source files this week for the VIP tier, in case anyone wants to take a look at the guts of the animations.
Info on the Shantae thing, as well as some general stuff! This'll be a post for all patrons, since there's no actual NSFW content in this post.
Shantae thing: the credits are done, audio is in the final stages (should be done this weekend), all clips are rendered, and I have the credits prepared.
I will take any new or updated patreon roles up until Saturday! After that point, I'm afraid they'll have missed the boat. If you're at least in the $5 role (the nsfw versions) go check here to see if you're in the credits! https://www.patreon.com/posts/23129930
The full animation should be ready by early next week, and will be public probably by Christmas! It'll be two animations for both versions. (Also I've decided to add back in the story context in as just text slides. Just for some story bits. You can read em over in the Discord's patreon-lewds channel.)
I currently have a friend visiting til the 17th so I'll be a little preoccupied til then, but I do have a plan to have a video out before Christmas! I'm trying to make a DnD themed video for youtube, just recounting a story from a 5e game I was in. It won't be too complex, but should be fun. I won't be able to do an early access for that as I NEED to get it up before Christmas.
PV02 will be back updating again after Christmas as well. I don't have anything special planned for its return, but it will return.
After the 5e video, I will be doing a video on "Why your critique sucks" which will be a guide on critique, what most people get wrong, and steps to drastically improve your criticisms of creative works and make them more effective!
Also, in general news, tumblr is officially banning NSFW content! For all! So my NSFW blog is going bye-bye! Fuck you tumblr! All my stuff will be here still, and on Twitter, with polished stuff going up on Newgrounds. So that's fun.
I'm working on the credits pages, and I want to make sure everything is in order.
I've exported the readouts of the credits pages after compiling everything. If you are in the $20 or higher tier, please make sure your name is in the VIP patrons page! If you're in the $10 or $5 tier, please do the same for the Patreon supporters page.
If it's easier to read (namely cause of Ctrl F) I've also added in a text file that I compiled and then copy-pasted into AE to get these printouts. If it's in that document, it is in the credits.
I'm counting patron status for both November and December, with the VIP taking precedence. If you were a VIP in November but downgraded to a $5 supporter this month, you still get the icon treatment! (Likewise if you upgraded to VIP from $5, you get the icon as well.)
Additionally, if you had a pledge decline one of these months, but was successful another month, I still counted it in here. The only way you'd get excluded is if both months declined (aka due to a long-running decline issue.)
I'm putting this up so I have time to catch mistakes, name spelling errors, and make sure I got everyone before going to render. Let me know if there are any inconsistencies I need to correct! (This isn't complete either, still need to add in VIP icons.)
Also comment if you are new to applicable tiers after posting this! Just to ensure I add you properly.
---
All of the footage is now rendered (took about 45 minutes per scene) and ready to be stitched together with the audio (will take about 12 minutes in total to render each vid by my estimate.)
Still waiting on the audio though.
Update: updated the images, just the embedded one though. The text file and the ones in the downloads are not up to date. Can still check em--I just added like 3 names in total for updated patrons (they'd be at the bottom of their lists).
Pretty much done! All camera work, compositing, and animation is complete. All I have left to do is make the credits, render everything, and add in the audio when it's ready.
For scenes like in this preview (namely this scene, the futa spider, and the futa harpy), I've rendered out two sets--one of the foreground parts (Rotty's chest for instance) and the background parts (Rotty's legs, dick, and all of Shantae). This allows me to do the lighting effect on two layers, so Rotty's boobs don't get overshadowed by components that realistically should be below them!
By comparison, here's a gif from before doing this:
You can see the lighting aorund rotty's hands and boobs isn't consistent. Now it's fixed!
Also, this gif shows off some of the bouncing. To do camera work, I have the main layer's position move freely around, and everything else moves by a portion of the main layer's motion. For bouncing scenes, I instead made two null objects: one for the main position, and one for the bounce. The main layer took its position by just adding the two together.
To write it like a simple expression, it's:
Background_layer_position = Main_layer_Position * small_factor
Main_Layer_Position = Null_Object_Position + Null_Object_Bounce
This let me add in small bouncing motions without disrupting the general camera flow. cause the timing was variable, all the bounces are manually keyframed, woops :V
..In hindsight I could've used the sin function with the frame number on the time remap value, as without time remapping the bouncing is consistent and constant, and keeps the frame numbers even after remapping, but then I'd have to make switches that alter the period at various points, but I'm just talking to myself now POINT IS expressions are cool but weird and it's all done and I had to manually keyframe the bouncing.
Also, dunno if I announced this yet, but:
(voice acting, just noises though. Like the Curly vid.)
So this is what I got set up today.
All the BG layers are scripted to follow the movement of the main layer, dividing the difference in motion by a small factor.
E.g. the far backdrop only moves and scales at 1/8th the rate of the main. Stuff in the foreground scales by a multiplier instead.
AND! I was able to easily get some lighting done via CC Glass and a few CC Composite + drop shadow filters. I'm gonna tweak it a little for each loop but it easily gives me a pseudo-lighting effect.
This also shows the variable speed that the animations play at.
Strelok is at work on audio atm, and, more good news, I will have some vocal sound effects on top of everything!
This is a little weird to post, it's SFW, but it's for the current NSFW project.
Just wanted to show off some of the backgrounds. Components here are layered so I can do a bit of parallaxing which should look cool..
So, before I get to the backgrounds (which I'm also doing tonight), I wanted to quick revise the harpy form.
The animation was kinda done as an extended version but it was complicated to deal with, with a lot of transitions, dialog, etc. I've decided to cut it so it's more in line with everything else.
The flipside, it has more loops in general to rely on :V
Transitions still exist (even if not shown here) but they're faster and have less down time., and are easier to work with for me. As a result I've changed Shantae's expressions a little to be more smilely. This kinda reduces the hypno effect a bit, sadly, but the original (with dialog bubbles) will be available to patrons only as a deleted scene.
This post will be a bit long.

WHEW I really wish Patreon allowed for photosets in the main post.
My to-do list is currently as follows:
Everything's rendered at 25% bigger than 1080p, so I can zoom in and pan around without any edge issues.
MAN. This is finally coming to a close.
This was just warmup (at first) and then woops
Colors may not be final. Tbh a simple hue shift shows a lot of other examples.
(Originally the base colors were blue)
MERMAID IS DONE!
And with that, ALL of them are done! Mostly anyway. Harpy needs some tweaks.
I might actually go through and re-record harpy to format it in the same way as all the other forms. The movie format you guys saw earlier would be a patreon-exclusive deleted scene.
Mermaid form has one extra loop, cause all of them are slightly more similar (and are meant to transition to each other easily). The climax scene for it is one of my more favorite ones though.
Snake form is done! Evidently I forgot to do Rotty's stitches before.
I really like the second loop and climax of this one.
All that's left is the mermaid + futa one! I might make a bonus loop cause one of theme is so short. Mebbe a little bit of a blowjob.
With this done there's only 2 more climax animations to do!
I'm pretty happy with how this one came out. Rottytop's bottom is lookin good :y
Patreon reward for Qactions!
Click uses her mouse functionality and deletes your porn.
I decided to redo the mermaid version. I was not happy with the old one.
For reference:
I can't really see me doing anything else with the original one. It's lacks energy too. I like the new one a lot better. It's a more fun pose.
Plus the new version has tiddy sucking so that's a plus ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I might extend this loop a little to make the recovery time a bit more natural.
Still need to do the alt loop and the climax, then that leaves 2 more climaxes and then rendering.
Oh and BGs.
Then this will finally be done.
I've been a little preoccupied for the past few days. On the 16th, Tumblr was pulled from the Apple store, due to complaints of child porn. Since Monday, Tumblr has been deleting blogs left and right--mostly NSFW, some SFW. It's likely these are related but it's never been confirmed.
Tumblr is a horribly managed site with some pretty bad cliques, but it's also a very mechanically good site. It's the only one that lets me upload gifs, 10-image sets, video (sfw anyway), share other users posts, and answer asks all in one. It's where my webcomic is originally located, and there's archives of my art on both my SFW and NSFW blogs, as well as big follower counts. (Many of you likely found me from my tumblr.)
I've been trying to make sure my stuff is backed up, that people know where to find me (namely Twitter and Newgrounds, as well as the PV02 site), and have been making PSAs on where to find my friends.
There is a lot of speculation regarding the reasons for what gets you deleted but no one has definitive answers, and anyone who claims to so far has been lying (the most recent verifiably-false rumor I've seen is "oh it has to do with links in your bio!"). You can try to appeal to get your account back, but so far a few friends have had no luck with that (included Herny and Nephrited). Eigaka got hit, got his account back, and then was promptly terminated a second time.
This is frustrating as all hell and has kept me a bit preoccupied, so I haven't had a lot of time to dedicate to drawing or working on stuff this week.
5 down, 3 to go!
Fun story. When rendering this, I decided to start using a scale-output to go from 1080p to 1350p. 25% bigger than normal, so I could zoom in without quality loss.
Toon Boom renders via things call write nodes. You hook one up to a composition, and it'll output whatever data it sees, even if it's not your currently active display. I can use this to render multiple scenes at once.
But since I only needed this one and to scale up the spider forms, I disconnected everything else, for the other 5 forms. My mistake was detaching it from where 'Scale-Output' came in, instead of detaching the write nodes all together.
So I had 5 cases of write nodes that were just Scale > Write. Toon Boom handles that as data, even if it's blank, and will write to it still.
So basically, tldr rendering this resulted in me getting 1200 extra, unnecessary 2400x1350 black frames and explained why this took 5x longer than normal to render. :V
Note the final animation will be way nicer quality too. Since this one is 240 frames I had to use some lossy rendering to get it small enough to post.
ALRIGHT
BACK TO WORK ON THIS
I know I said I was taking a bit of a break, but I wanted to get some headway on this and get this all written down.
These are the FULL animations for the spider sequence. Parts of these loop, you can see based on the markers in the corner. I'm not doing something as detailed as the harpy one cause if I did this wouldn't be done for another year and I do not want to work on it that long. The harpy one's gonna be a special scenario basically, the rest won't be like it.
So, here's the plan, so I don't get burned out again and so I get this done:
The animations are gonna have polish during the AE process. These include:
There will not be transitions or dialog. (Or at least, not a lot of dialog.) The story elements, though something I wanted to do, were bogging this down too much and would've been more fitting for a comic. I may have a type-up on the gifset. But trying to make everything lead into each other was just causing undue headaches. The rigs I made weren't built for that kinda stuff, they were built just for the sex scenes they appear in, and if I wanted to do a lot of dialog I should've built em different from the start.
So, axing that, each scene will consist of basically 3 'gifs:' 2 loops and then 1 climax.
With the spider ones, as well as the harpy ones, I now need to:
All that's easily doable. Of all this the hardest thing is drawing the BG, which isn't hard at all.
I still need to do the final animations for the mermaid and snake forms, so there's 4 more things to animate. Then I have to do these tasks for them as well.
Thank you all for being patient with this. I really bit off a lot when I started this project and I feel ashamed that it's taken so long, but now I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I was gonna make a comment of when to expect it but that'd deadline myself and then would result in me subconsciously fighting to put it off. So instead just take a vague 'soon.'
I have other projects I want to start as well that I refuse to start til this is done, so there's additional incentive for me to be diligent.
Task List:
I knew there was something I was forgetting.
Gift art for Herny's birthday!
The "Selectable Tier" update is now here!
What this means:
There are now two variants of each role! One SFW, one NSFW.
Whenever I publish a NSFW post, it'll only be viewable to people who are in one of the default NSFW roles. SFW users won't have to see it.
If you select a SFW role, you'll also get the 'SFW' tag in Discord if you join it, so you won't see the NSFW channels (except for the lunchbox if applicable, which is rarely NSFW).
The original roles are the ones that are NSFW enabled, so if you stay in your current role you won't see any changes. You'll still have access to all old posts and any future (applicable) ones.
One caveat: people in the 'SFW' tiers will actually not have access to some older posts that were tier-specific. This is the only issue with how this was implemented, and honestly I can't see an easy fix on Patreon's end. The only thing I could do would be to edit old posts to adjust the access settings.
Luckily, this doesn't affect posts that were published to "all patrons" instead of specific tiers, which is how I published most SFW content. There's a few things where this won't apply, but I have over 2000 posts on Patreon. If you switch roles but find something you wanted to access, just let me know and I'll tweak the post for you.
EDIT: actually it looks like a compatibility thing is present. Old posts are accessible depending by pledged amount, unless I opt to edit them at all. So, that is something to be aware of if you switch to a SFW tier: the changes apply to all FUTURE posts. You may see older NSFW posts if you browse through the history.
On the note of having any pledged amount, It's important to note that if you are not in a defined role, you will not see any selectable-tier posts. Be sure to update your role to one that you'd like--as long as you're pledging at least the amount listed you can still join it.
With this change I've also unpublished the $1 role. I'll continue to honor it for SFW posts however, using the 'patrons only' publishing as I always have.
I'm going to start using the new roles immediately. Please let me know if you think you've found any errors and I'll correct it immediately!
I did a lot of boob things.
There's too many to upload previews of, so just download em to view.
One's prefixed with "boob" are variants of this one:
They include a tiny-tiddy milk fountain, various (mostly large to gigantic) boob sizes of different shapes, and a quad boob pic.
i'm in a boob mood
Lotta source files I've forgotten to share.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
Gesugao.clip is HUGE and very complex in its layout, just a fair warning. (Also be advised when viewing it, the screentones can hurt your eyes if you move or zoom around.)
Some OC doodles.
Cesil is a special girl for an evening.
That has to be my favorite drawing of Flux so far tbh.
I have not forgotten Cashmere.
Debating a new hairstyle for Pixie. Also a Titania for good measure.
Also have a steamy Socket.
SHARK
After this update I'm going to take a week or so off of the comic. I need a bit of a break, really bad.
Drawing Mimi is therapeutic.
Question: would anyone be interested in the top one as a print or poster? Cause I can redo it, scaled up.
I'm very tired.
I've been in a bad rut. I'm slowly trying to work my way out of it. One idea to help, if you're on the Discord server (sync your account in settings to access it), if you're in the $5 or up tier you can put forward OCs in the lunchbox channel. I'll do a request stream sometime soon, taking a few characters from that channel.
This month I plan to get the animations for the Shantae thing published. They're not gonna be as big or long as originally intended, but they'll be gif formatted instead which is easier to publish. I wanna try and do 2 loops and a climax for each scene.
Sometime this month I'm gonna start working on some new rigs for animations. I want to do another animation for PV02, as well as a sequel for Hiro the Dense, so I wanna start preparing for both of those.
Coming soon, Patreon is going to make some changes to how roles work, and I plan to take full advantage of it. With the update, I can choose individual roles for access to posts, and i can make duplicates of price tiers. So, there will be two versions of each role: a nsfw and sfw variant. People in the SFW version won't see any of the NSFW posts, and will also have a tag on the discord server which will opt them out of NSFW stuff there.
I make both SFW and NSFW content and don't plan on changing that. This will allow people who want to support me and see my SFW stuff do so without having to also receive my NSFW content, which is something I've been wanting to do for a while.
As a note, if you selected "no reward" for your patreon tier, so you could pledge a custom amount, make sure you specify a tier in your pledge following the change! You can keep your amount the same, but if say you're pledging $5 but don't want the credits perk and just want to see the art, you can select the $2 tier that suits you.
Just a few doodles.
The last one is of Click but is pretty fetishy (cumflation/large insertion. Because of course) so I'm not gonna preview it here :V Check the downloads for it!
"Gesugao is any facial expression that is stylistically warped in a way meant to depict the “evilness” of a character. "
I don't have a problem.
The 'arrange' files are the 4-way set ones. The main one is 4k sized, WP is 1080p, and ultrawide is... ultrawide.
HURPY HURLERWEERN
honestly this was so small i almost debated not posting it but here ya go
Workin on a little set.
I've (re)discovered a new love.
Drew my Kirlia, cause i had a hankerin.
It's wallpaper size!
Also have a warmup sketch. During it I asked for 3 letters, got Q (cup size (not realistically this is beyond that even)), O and L (outtie, long nipples)
So, a feature that I and many others have been requesting for a while is being implemented!
Pages will now be able to select which tiers can see posts, instead of it only being the selected tier and up.
They'll also allow for duplicate price tiers.
The big thing this means for my page is I'll have duplication of each tier now. Instead of $1 being the only SFW tier, there will be a SFW clone of all existing tiers. So say you don't like adult content but you like my animations still and want to be in credits, you'll be able to select the alternate SFW $5 tier, and you won't get notified / be able to see any NSFW posts.
I'm hoping that I can also select ones to go public without it redundantly notifying users--since public posts on Patreon need to be SFW, I'd like the SFW version to not notify NSFW tier patrons when it goes public, cause they'd already have access to all versions in their private post.
For those who don't need to / want to switch tiers, most everything should still function the same. My approaches generally try to reduce redundancy, but there's also a chance that if you're in a higher tier I might make singular posts that contain all perks, while not bothering you with the more basic version of the post. E.g., say you're in the source tier. In the source file post, you'd get the images AND the original source file, and wouldn't see the post that has just the images. (Only reason I might not do this would be cause I post source files a few days after, usually, and I try to post them in batches.) Either you won't notice anything new, or things will be more organized.
This should go live sometime in November. This is great news and gives everyone more control over what they want to see.
There is one important thing to note! If you are in an unnamed tier (ie., "no reward") you'll need to adjust your tier to match the perks you want to see. (So like, if you wanted to pledge $5, but don't want to be credited in vids at all, you could assign yourself to the $2 tier and still get access.)
Got this done in stream tonight
Then realized I didn't have anything else planned
and was in a daze so this is all I finished today :V
Working on a few of these.
Garter was just drawn as a shitpost, but Collet (and the upcoming Pivot and Socket ones) is for this coming PV02 update.
So, I've done most of the animation now for both harpy versions. You can view them at the following Gfycat links (again I don't have an easy way to preview video)
https://gfycat.com/RadiantHatefulAmericansaddlebred - futa version
https://gfycat.com/WeeLazyBluemorphobutterfly - standard version
I'm at a bit of an impasse on this project. I've been at it for a year now, and it's been eating at me to the point where I don't want to work on it anymore.
It's also creating the other problem of I feel intense guilt if I try to work on something else. These two thoughts wind up fighting with each other until I do nothing, or at least far less than what I'd want to.
I'm also getting more and more paranoid over parodies, given some stuff friends of mine have had to deal with.
This project is immense. And what's worse it's immense in a way that doesn't really show it. I cannot stress how tedious the process of making transitions for these animations are. I can't even stress how tedious the process of making fully animated bits like these two is. Additionally, this isn't one or two scenes, it's eight. As a result there's a LOT of content, but it's somewhat shallow.
It's far easier to just make a collection of loops or one-off animations.
Doing so is a farcry from what I wanted to create but at this point I think it'd be better to just have it out there and done so I can focus on other things.
Aside from this I want to start the next animation for PV02, and make a sequel to Hiro the Dense. PV02 in particular has a lot more of a priority because it's time sensitive, based on when I release updates. (Also having Hiro the Dense 2 out for the holidays would be a huge boost for me on youtube, if that's possible to hit.) But it feels like mental sandpaper to work on these things when the Shantae project's incomplete. (Hell I had the same problem with the Bowsette/Booette gifs I made.)
So, for anyone who has suggestions or ideas (or even complaints), please share your thoughts on what you'd realistically rather see done with the project at this point. I understand a lot of people have been waiting for this project but for the sake of my mental health I cannot deliver on my original vision. This isn't something I want but I need to be realistic.
Some ideas:
Experimenting with a lineless approach.
Also wet clothing.
Some sketches too: debating coloring some of them. The Flux one will definitely be her character portrait for the comic's website.
There's additional ones in the downloads too.
Next two weeks of updates are gonna be a little bit filler-y, cause A) Halloween B) I need some padding to avoid rushing into the next plot points without a breather.
The major plus side is filler can be fun :V
This barely counts as animation, but it was too big to put to a gif.
Just felt like doing some mood stuff.
Sadly rendering destroyed the potion bubbles I spent an hour figuring out how to make. : (

The Cesil one's a doozey.
Cox has been having some issues due to recent storms so my plans to stream hasn't gone quite so well.
In the meantime, I did this doodle of Mimi. She seems tired.
This week I'm planning to do a Halloween animated scene/backdrop featuring Cesil.
The recent print I did of Cesil now is available for purchase through Fdaki!
stream was cut short by net trouble. BUT ANYWAY!
Garter lamenting her love life, a succ suck, Shorty Brace gettin stuffed, and HUGE LEAKY BOOBIES
Give Cesil a bit of coffee and suddenly she can poledance
This will be available as a wall scroll very soon from Fdaki! I'll post an update when it's available.
So, I've had a few people ask me about this, and it is a perk for the $10 tiers. I've been meaning to update my commission rates and simplify a few things for a while.
To summarize everything:
You can see everything detailed in a table here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KYMTGYKH1-NfNtGkJW-tjx8u__ZAcimotfQR76TUEDg/edit?usp=sharing
Paypal's required.
I don't have the 'supporter discount' listed atm just cause supporters are the only ones who can get comms atm, so that'd feel redundant.
Turnaround time for commissions will be a bit slower while they're not publicly open, but I get em done.
You can shoot me a message through here, or via email at [email protected] if you're interested.
How does a spider poledance?
with much difficulty for the artist
this is a pretty big image, will have a clothed and unclothed version.
AND! I'm gonna send it to Fdaki so it'll be available as a wallscroll for anyone interested.
This project is literally killing me.
I just want to get it done.
But anyway, the futa+harpy scene is mostly done. THIS is what it'll wind up looking like mostly in full--multiple varying loops strung together in a roughly 1-2 minute scene. Maybe with some camera panning.
There'll be dialog as well (MAYBE voice acting?) For those who don't remember the script, Shantae's currently mind controlled by the lamp, and snaps out of it halfway in, kinda surprised at herself that she just jumped on Rotty like this. But, she can't help but continue and make sure that Rotty finishes, just cause it feels good.
She's still embarrassed at herself for being lewd. :V So in the next scene Rotty has some ideas to help with that.
Annoyingly I actually don't have many options to display this WIP since it's a video file, outside of a WebM version, via a link.
I'm not gonna do one every day, but here's a doodle of Cesil dressed up as Megumin.
Gonna do most of my major ocs with costumes so I'm lookin for ideas. (Got Collet as Momiji coming soon.)
bottom-heavy succubus girl. I drew her a bit before, still refining her design.
I think Ima keep the side hair things, from this image:
Tbh this image is way better all around. Tonight's doodles not so much.
The other ones in this pack:
Milestone rewards for LordKitsuna and Ivy R Davis.
Just a reminder, if I've messaged you before about a milestone reward, you can always hit me up about that! With the next month coming up there'll be a new round of eligible individuals too.
SPOOKY
she forgets that her top's a little deep cut :V
2 variants, because to get it below 3MB I had to compress it a lot.
Whipped up some gifs of Bowsette / Peachser.
Likely will do a BE one later this week. (It was a close race in the poll, decided that I'll do both.)
Also an upcoming preview:
This is done on strawpoll because Patreon's polls are currently broken.
what should I ahve Bowsette/Peachser do in that WIP i just posted.
I'm back from Florida.
Arts and stuff will resume soon. Need to get back into the swing of things.
Got to get the final bit of the Shantae thing done, and I have some prints I wanna make and publish for sale. Plus just merch stuff in general.
And then eventually get started on ch 6 of PV02.
Ah yeah, and I have the milestone rewards to take care of too.
I was in a fetishy mood.
Some of these get extreme as you scroll on so consider this your warning if you don't wanna see that kinda stuff :V
Gonna just put em on all on this post otherwise.
wew yeah. long time since i drew cumflation.
WELL, got my trip tomorrow. My bday's on the 15th, yay.
i'm gonna be gone for a bit over a week, so there won't be any new content in this time.
While I'll have a laptop and tablet with me I likely will not be drawing much. BUT ANYWAY!
I shall see you all when I get back!
Decided to use Courtney to run some tests.
Took a little work b ut I think it's functional enough.
Also decided to make a THIRD dance cause I could.
More modular practice.
I'm happy with how smooth I got these.
I may have to look into doing YCHs again sometime soon.
Decided to color this
Delta (right) owned by Nephrited, Titania (left) be mine
Delta gets excited about dressing up :V
just two sketches i did tonight
was gonna do more but i think my mind and inspiration have left the building
Felt like drawing some gardes / garde line chars.
Did my own + a few requests O:
Top image is Titania and my friend Nephi's Delta.
I did Pix, and then the rest were requests.
You can check em all out in the downloads!
It's Scott Falco's Cyborg Chan, but with a few 'upgrades'

(he's been inviting people to draw lewds of her and I figured why not)
Just decided to make this for practice.
It's a little odd, still nowhere near happy with the hands, but it's highly modular
Why? i dunno
may make it into a YCH thing
The cheeks and thighhighs animate via animated matte generators, which is like a super complex version of shape tweens, similar to doing a vector transformation in AE.

lotta bunsuits from last Sunday!
EDIT: decided to add the requested characters as well. They're arranged in a manner that makes for easy coloring via reference fill!
Spider has a PENOR!!!
The spider form is done, woo!
Now all that's left...
As much as I want to I don't know if it'll be possible to get this done before my trip. I'm gonna try to get it to the sound design phase before then, just so Strelok can get that down while I'm gone.
There she
--
So, figure I'd put my monthly plan stuff in this post. September I'm gonna be indisposed for a chunk of the month. I've got a trip coming up for my birthday, so I'll be unable to work on stuff for about 2 weeks.
For the comic, this works out, cause the current PV02 chapter is almost wrapped up. There should be one more update before the chapter finishes, which is right when my vacation starts.
I should get the spider scene of the Shantae animation done this week, but the full thing won't be done til after I get back.
Beyond that, I don't really have any special plans for September beyond just 'work on the usual stuff when I get a chance.'
Here's the last few bunday pics! 2 colored ones, and one more patreon request.
All have been added to the imgur album too.
Here are the colored pics I did for #bunday tomorrow!
I can't remember if I mentioned it here, but while I'm organizing the art jam even thing, I'm gonna be busy Sunday, so i opted to get a lot of the draws done tonight. I'll be posting them tomorrow.
I did 8 in total: 4 of the most popular votes, and 4 requests (from the thread).
The requests are not colored, though I may change that tomorrow. It depends on time.
There's still more I wanna do of the original bunsuit sketches, like I wanna color the Isabelle one even though she's not a popular vote. If I stream tomorrow as well, I will work on them then. (Also means there's still time to put in your OC in the thread, just in case, if you're in the $5 tier or higher!)
Characters I did:
You can access the pics via the downloads! You can also view all of them (including last week's) from here: https://imgur.com/a/lScZyqr
So for the final scene of the futa version, by popular vote now Shantae turns the tables on Rotty and removes Rotty's dick, while granting herself one of her own O:
So far I have the base motion done. I have to still do the tweening and easing, and still need to do other secondary motions like most of the hair, arms, and legs. Some components are also missing, like the rest of Rotty's legs and the threads that tie her up.
I'm also gonna make a secret scene that patrons can find that maybe contains a bit of cumflation < w <
Also if Rotty's boobs seem bigger, I'm debating making that a side effect of Shantae turning the tables as well.
DONE
AAA
so, this September, I have a trip coming up. I won't be able to update for 2 weeks.
HOWEVER, this coincidentally played out perfectly. This chapter will end right before I leave for my trip, and at that point I was planning a 2 week break regardless.
Turns out, this 2 week break will coincide perfectly with my trip.
When I get back, the first update will be a recap update to get new readers up to speed (and cause it'll be simpler formatted so less stressful when coming back).
So, ye. All that aside, September will be a little slower than other months, due to my birthday trip, so this is more a general heads up for everyone as well.
So, following up last week, this Sunday's gonna be the OFFICIAL Bunday.
As a result, I'm gonna be streaming on SATURDAY to get a lot of last week's doodles colored (based on votes) and also doing patreon requests for those of the appropriate tier. (I'm streaming a day early cause Sunday's gonna be quite busy for me, though I may also stream Sunday too.)
$5 patrons can vote on the sketches, and add their OCs to the request pool in this post!
The stream will be at https://Picarto.tv/zedrin!
So, Bunsuit Sunday was a nice hit, but it was wildly uncoordinated and spur of the moment.
SO! There are TWO parts to this post, both for the $5 and up patrons!
FIRST: Of the pics drawn this week, which would you like to see colored? You can vote for as many as you want, and I will color the top few next week. To view all results from tonight, it's easiest to do in this imgur album: https://imgur.com/a/lScZyqr
These will be what I color.
SECOND: If you have an OC you'd like to see in a bunsuit, you may put them in the comments with a maximum of TWO references.
You can do this for up to 3 OCs (up to 2 references per OC). (The only real rule: no MLP OCs.) I will pick a handful of them to include in next week's drawing stream!
You may also just suggest characters for me to draw as well, if they're characters I'm familiar with or own myself.
I don't know how often this will be a recurring thing.
Lotta images here, all sketches, so I've also put them in an imgur album if you can't view em on Tumblr.
You can also just download them direct if you'd like.
I like bunny suits a lot.
Some gift art I made for a friend of mine, Guudeko!
Her OCs are cute.
And with that, the spider form is done! I'm very happy with the swingy movements and the threads. Even Shantae's boob physics feel smooth.
That just leaves the futa version, and then making transitions/extensions of each bit! Then I have to toss everything into video editors or flash, and work with Strelok on the sound.
Reminder, if you haven't voted yet and are in the $5 or up tier, you can decide some key details about the final shot involving the futa version!
So, here's the spider version so far.
For the futa version, originally I was gonna have Rotty just angled so her dick goes straight at Shantae. The motion would be mostly the same (for Shantae it'll be identical no matter what), just Rotty would be leaning back more, more parallel to shantae rather than at 90 degrees as she is now. Her pelvis would go up to penetrate Shantae.
HOWEVER, the change I was wondering, and I wanted to see what you guys thought:
Should Shantae turn the tables here and give herself a dick, while turning Rotty back to normal?
Or should it stay a more fem-dommy approach with her driving Rotty to penetrate her?
Next up: easing and tweening!
i took this carefully to make sure i got it right the first time.
Granted that could all implode once i ease it. but here's hoping!
Stuff I forgot to do / need to do:
There's also one more vote for the futa version, for $5 and up patrons! You guys have the CHANCE TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY (or at least this animation)
So 'rub' one out in the vote, so Rotty is gonna be scissoring with Shantae :V
Here's a WIP. This is mostly what the motion will look like. I still need to tween it and draw in the body parts, but I'm very happy with the rhythm I got here.
dat tiddy swing
Wow, 90 updates.
This update has it all:
So, for the spider sequence of the Shantae animation, the futa and non-futa versions will be fairly similar: Shantae's turned the tables, and has Rotty tied up completely. Using her webs, she brings Rotty up and down to pleasure her. (This'll also make the creation easier cause it'll be the same angle for both.)
For the futa version, this involves just penetration. I'm indecisive on the normal version however:
Should the tugs cause Rotty to rub up against Shantae, or should Rotty be flipped around and forced to give Shantae oral?
(spider has a puss puss)
Short, dumb, 4-panel comic microseries.
Read vertically (by column, left first)
I wanna at least do better lineart for it, but here's the rough sketches for it.
Basic premise: A witch, frustrated with being flat, attempts a breast-enhancement spell.
It doesn't work, and instead causes her boobs to lactate furiously. This is annoying, so she tapes em to stop the leakage.
This causes her boobs to swell up like she wanted, except it doesn't stop til it all breaks loose. :V
Also I should start using tags for certain types of content so people can find it easier. E.g. exp for expansion stuff, lac for lactation, hypno, etc.
I REALLY wish there was an easier way to mass edit tags.
You can read it in an easier format on Imgur: https://imgur.com/a/I8ARh5o
Single versions in the downloads!
it's also wallpaper formatted for 16:9 if anyone likes porny wallpapers!
ALRIGHT I'm very happy with this shot now.
That little transition between the poses came out nice I feel. You can compare how much more organic everything feels compared to the first WIP I shared.
Both poses will be loopable and will have more variety in the full thing. For prosperity, here's the loops below!
Something something snakes have no gag reflex or sense of taste
This leaves both versions of Spider Shantae, one of my favorite transformations. Also the transitions.
I really want to get this done before September, or at least within the first week. I got a trip coming up at that time (for my bursday) and won't be able to work on it during then.
Looks like it'll be possible! As long as I don't injure myself again.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
Files include:
I felt like drawing some Shantae and breast expansion.
I've even assembled them into gifs for convenience!
Since there's 12 images (10 for the sequence, with 2 part being an alt lactation version) I've zipped them all. Here's the lactation version too:
Enjoj!
whoosh
I got this done early this week, yay. Simpler panel layouts = more fun to make.
This'll leave me with more time to work on other things.
(fuck backgrounds still)
And the futa version of the naga is arranged.
Before moving on to the spider, I'm gonna add a few variations to this (plus you can see the dick actually isn't tweened yet, it's still in stop motion).
I'm gonna have a portion of this shot where Shantae is instead swirling her snake tongue around the dick.
I also need to adjust some of the timing of body parts (namely Rotty's) so it feels more organic.
(Also this went a little easier because I recycled a bit from the harpy phase.)

Gyro is a BITCH to draw
So, recently Patreon's payment processor has moved from a US based one to a UK based one, which has resulted in a lot of US payments getting blocked by banks on fraud suspicions. This was completely unintended. As a result, atm nearly 25% of my patrons are currently declined.
You're able to resolve the decline by updating your payment information or contacting your bank to clear the charge. Patreon has acknowledged the issue as well.
Additionally, if you notice say, your role is missing from the discord server, or you can't access posts, check to make sure that your pledge went through.

This is a fairly simple one, though i did use some extra layers for skin shading so I could use the blur tool without it smudging unwanted colors.
This is a fun look at what a simple tone curve adjustment can do as well.
just a random idea
i thought it was silly and cute.
So here's some warmup sketches I did tonight.
Also I decided to start experimenting with ideas for merch, based on the surveys from a few weeks ago.
This'll be a bit rambly, so just read if you're intertested.
To give a rundown of what my plans are: Dakis and wallscrolls can be shipped in any amount, so as long as I know one will sell I can freely make it available, provided I can put in the effort. For wall scrolls, I'll maybe also make a poster version available through like redbubble, though I'd wanna talk to FDaki to make sure it's not conflicting merch wise. Otherwise, for both of them I can make as many different kinds as want, so it's just what I think is worthwhile.
Wallscrolls are basically just large, durable prints (60cm x 90cm) and honestly I think Fdaki may be on par with Redbubble's costs, which is nice. These have the fewest constraints overall.
For dakis, I've already got a Pivot daki available, actually. I've been debating making a V2 of it, shown here, but likewise I also could do some of ANY character hypothetically (of my own, that is. I won't do one of Mimi or Socket, however.) The only constraints are: 1:3 aspect ratio (very tough to work with), and potentially have to make two versions.
Mousepads have an MOQ of 10, so if there's a bit of interest in something and kinda guaranteed purchases, they're alright to order. I don't wanna make too many though because of this, so I'd need to find out which designs would be popular or preferred. Alt versions aren't as possible. Pivot's butt was a popular option, but surprisingly so was the Demon Queen.
Acrylic figures unfortunately have an MOQ of 50, so preorders may be necessary. Fdaki is rightful hesitant over them because they're hard to sell, however I think doing a more anime-style one is way easier to sell. I have two concepts displayed: one that uses the full 1:2 ratio, and one that's half and may not be viable cause of it. Stands I'd try to make more chibi-ish, sfw, and fun, kinda like the ones for Girl's Frontline or various other anime properties.
So, what characters of mine would you wanna see on merch, and in what nature? Particularly the more flexible options, but I'm open to suggestions. Mimi, Socket, Pivot, and the Demon Queen were the top 4 choices, though Cesil and Flux were also up there.
Alright I'ma address this cause it's happened 3 times now over the past week.
If you wanna withdraw your pledge for whatever reason, it's fine, you're free to do that. Optionally you're able to provide an anonymous reason when doing so, which I can use as feedback. The most common reason is (totally understandably) financial situations, followed by "I only intended to pledge for a limited time."
I am completely open to feedback, though I usually wish people would provide it before jumping ship. The details I receive are anonymous. But as of late, if when you withdraw you select the reason "the creator wasn't engaging like I expected" given the recent events: then fuck you, and honestly good riddance.
I've been incredibly clear about the fact that I've been recovering from an RSI in my right wrist, making it painful to do anything at times. I've posted updates on this topic. Over this past week I've desperately wanted to draw more but I physically could not without risking permanently injuring myself. It's been cripplingly boring and depressing. Only now is my arm finally starting to get back to the point where I can again, and I'm going to try getting back to it in moderation so I don't relapse.
By telling me I'm not being engaging enough when I am injured and have been open about this fact, you're either insinuating that I'm not actually injured and that I'm lying (literally to what kind of gain?), or you expect me to produce content even when I cannot and risk a much more severe injury which would mean even less of an ability to draw long term. This injury sucks enough without dealing with that kind of entitlement.
There's no statute that accounts for sick days or vacations. If you expect a creator to constantly produce content even when they are physically unable to, you should not be pledging to any patreon pages.
If you want to withdraw because things have been slow, it's not like I can stop you, you should be an adult that can make your own decisions. But fuck you if you tell me I should hurt myself just to keep up my output.
Today was kinda a mess and a mixed bag.
Tried streaming today to see how my wrist was fairing. After flipping back and forth between chat and CSP, eventually I started getting weird behaviors of a bug that I had squashed a year ago. The start of lines would come up broken and skipped.
It seriously fucks with your ability to draw even basic shapes, so it was imperative that I solve it. After reinstalling drivers and messing with it for 15 minutes, the issue was still present, so annoyed, I canceled the stream.
None of my prior attempts that worked in the past were working now to remove the bug. I had uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times, meaning 8 restarts.
Eventually my friend suggests turning off double click distance.
I made sure the issue was recreated, then disabled double click distance on my tablet. The issue was gone. Enabling it made it resurface.
So I made a set of options just for CSP and set double click to 0. The issue is still there. I turn it off for the main options, and it's gone. I turn it on for CSP and... it's still gone.
What's more, double click is totally unaffected anywhere.
So I have no fucking idea what's going on.
On a slightly more positive note, I'm able to go into a pushup position without any pain. It's a little uncomfortable (more for my left arm now than my right) but that's a huge sign of recovery as that was the biggest indicator of my wrist problem.
I'm not fully recovered but I should be fine to draw again now. I don't know if I'll have the update for PV02 ready by Sunday but I might try. I still have to finish coloring it and inking the last 3 panels.
Have an Etna I started doodling in the canceled stream.
So thinking on it, i think part of what may be hindering my recovery is idleness, oddly enough. I'm starting to think 'lots of rest' actually isn't the solution.
My arms have felt incredibly week after 2 months of limited use, one week of nearly no use, and I don't think that's helping. So instead, I've got a few stretches that I'm doing about 3 times a day, as well as a special rubber ball that I roll around my hand and wrist to massage it.
The ball in particular has helped a lot, and I think the stretches are helping. I don't do anything that hurts.
I'm also going to try drawing again because fuck it all. Here's a centaur girl from a dream I had 2 nights ago.
If it hurts at all while drawing I'll stop I can't keep going with no activity though it's driving me up the wall. There are so many things I have to / want to draw or do that I can't even fit them all on a single page.
I thought my injury was healing okay and that maybe I could start drawing again by Wednesday, but then tonight it suddenly was flaring up and causing me a lot of pain.
So i probably will be out of commission even longer. This past week has been cripplingly boring and depressing.
This fucking sucks and tbh I'm a little scared. If I can't use my right hand I literally cannot do anything.
Review vid has gone live.
Honestly don't expect this vid to get many views.
My RSI has been bothering me, so I'm not even going to attempt to finish this week's update.
I've been messing with Blender a little bit and relearning it for the 6th time. Dunno how far I can actually go with it while injured.
This wrist injury sucks though. I really want to draw but I can't.
So, I was given a tablet to do a review video on.
The vid will be up Friday. I'm trying something a little different for the format, narrating it in a more relaxed tone that I'm kinda dubbing 'review and chill.'
Wrist is still taking it easy so I don't have a lot to share art wise. I'm using this time to try relearning Blender (again) and it's going well.
I'm going to try and still do this week's comic update.
MAN IT IS SO GODDAMN BORING NOT BEING ABLE TO DRAW.
Colored commission of the one request from last night.
Also unrelated, this week's gonna be slow. I'm taking time off to let my arm heal. I'll still do the PV02 update but I won't be doing much else by way of art this week.
So that stream was a fucking trainwreck.
Every time I do these streams there's always a few people who, the first thing they do upon entering the chat, is try to make a request or ask how things work, despite the rules being on the original post, on screen, and in the description.
It's to be expected. I reiterate over and over to them 'read the rules' until they finally actually do so.
But for whatever goddamn reason today was exceptionally bad. Usually the bad cases are early in stream and then teeter out as time goes on, but today it was constant. There would be a new person every minute who was incessantly asking how the process works despite it being on screen, who was jumping the gun and posting requests before being given the go-ahead, etc.
This lasted all the way to the end of the stream. A few times some got bent out of shape when their request wasn't selected, which is a great way to react.
These bad cases obviously aren't everyone and might not even be a majority, but having to deal with them every time they pop up slows things down significantly and makes the entire ordeal very not-fun. The reason I've been doing the request streams is because it brings in viewers, and ideally would bring people to Patreon or maybe entice them to send a buck or two via streamlabs. They honestly haven't been very successful in that regard.
I don't want to make a patreon-exclusive stream because I have tried that multiple times in the past (not just on this page but my old SFS one as well) and turnout is abysmal when it's private, and it's difficult to schedule around, and it defeats these other goals. As an in-between approach I added the $5-patron-requests to the first part of the streams because you guys generally are way more reliable when it comes to making requests, but the newcomers who want nothing more than a free drawing and don't give two shits about the artists drawing really kinda ruined it and waste our time.
So, yeah that's the rant and is why there's only a few of the patron requests done, and only one public request. (The public one being from someone I know at that.) I dunno if I'll be continuing the request streams after this. Streaming didn't feel rewarding or fulfilling at all for either me or Neayix.
The request stream will be starting at 4pm today! You can watch it here:
Rules:
ALL RULES WILL BE VIEWABLE ON SCREEN AND THE DESCRIPTION! DO NOT ASK "how do i make requests" WHEN YOU SHOW UP, YOU WILL NOT BE ACKNOWLEDGED
The first few requests I do will be from the $5 request post posted earlier this week. If you're in the $5 tier or higher, there's still time to drop requests in there!
After the first few from there, I'll move to public requests. Neayix meanwhile will be doing public requests the entire time.
The optional theme I'm doing this time is 'succubus.' Succ characters are more likely to be selected, and succ versions of requests are likely.
I'm still collecting information about what might make for a good thing to sell. If you're interested in helping, check here:

One thing to clarify from the last survey: I misunderstood something regarding figurines.
The figurines available on my contact's store are not 3D statues, they are 'acrylic stands,' which are 2D prints encased in acrylic stands. That's why they were only $30 roughly, instead of like, $70. That's considerably less enticing, I know. I understand people are interested in an actual figurine and that's something I'll consider looking into (it's more difficult as they have a very high up front cost), but that's outside the scope of this survey.
Pivot, who was in a robot-coma for 1 week, just texted me with this:
"i lived bitch"
will be live Sunday
It's that week, so here we go! https://picarto.tv/Zedrin
Stream will be in the evening PST time on Friday.
Note: This stream may get canceled depending on my wrist. I have severe wrist pain right now and am planning to see a chiropractor for it. Hopefully it's better by Friday, but if I need to take time off then this'll be pushed back to another time.
Rules:
I'ma put a modifier on this one and say succubi and demon characters have a slightly better chance to getting drawn. You can still request anything and I'll still do different chars.(They may get succ'd :V)
This is mostly done now. I'll need to do some expression stuff and transitions, but that'll come when I'm in the final stretch.
Next up, futa version.
So, I'm in contact with Fdaki again, and he's interested in the prospect of making some new products.
I want to see if this is viable and what people would be interested in. So, if the prospect of some merch featuring one of my characters interests any of you, could you fill out this survey?

at least til I post it on Tumblr too.
That tongue's gonna be fun to animate
And by fun I mean
this is coming along though. Still need to do custom expressions for Rotty, as well as figure out how to make spots loop.
there'll also be a joke regarding Rotty being a zombie and Nagas having very few tastebuds so it doesn't matter
This is just the sketch so far of the Naga bits.
I'm getting everything pieced out first, then I'll fill them in with the actual solid bodyparts and stuff.
This is just the FF version so far. The futa version'll be from a different angle that gives a better view
You can see the rough storyboards below. I'm debating whether or not the futa version should be PoV, like the Harpy scene. What do you guys think? Slightly offset angle (more dynamic) or a PoV shot
Despite only working for a little bit this is actually pretty good progress. Tomorrow I'll be working on this more actively, which you can watch at https://picarto.tv/Zedrin
boy howdy why am I so exhausted all the time
So, the Shantae thing is back underway. I'll be periodically streaming it.
With the intro bit done, that leaves 4 loops / sex scenes, and then the remaining transitions.
I think for the next request stream I might put a modifier on it. Something like 'you can only request other peoples' OCs' or 'monster girls only' or something. Some limitation might be fun.
The recent comic update (and the past few tbh) have really taken a lot out of me. After this chapter is done I need to take a week or two off the comic. (You might noticed I've tweaked the style (again) to reduce the amount of shading work I have to do.)
There's quite a few people who hit milestone rewards this month so it may be a bit before I get through all of them. If I messaged you regarding your milestone a while back but haven't claimed a pic yet, you can still do so! There's no time limit on them.
Beyond that, tbh i haven't had a lot of inspiration or ideas for much as of late. So I guess that mostly just means standard work stuff for a while.
so yeah that's aboot everything. woo.
God i hate drawing backgrounds

another big one. file is 3000x3000 pixels, and has a lot of layers.
Patreon reward for Samuel! I went a bit above and beyond what I normally do just cause Ahri's a popular character.
Painting's always gonna be an oddity for me
version 1 has the heart bloom, version 2 doesn't
i'll have this done tomorrow probably
i'm liking how it's coming
1 reward complete, patreon reward for Soulfire!
The other thing is WIP and I'm going a bit above with cause it's a popular character. Samuel requested a NSFW pic of Ahri, so here's a WIP of that:
Bonus image!
I had to draw Arin's UFO girl he showed in his recent Game Grumps video.
This evening, around probably 6p or 7p pst, I'll be streaming with neayix for another bi-weekly request stream.
Quick overview of rules:
I was gonna post this Friday but I decided instead to post it today.
Just a timelapse + chat vid!
Same rules as last time! The first few requests I draw will be from this thread, while the last few will be selected from viewers.
Be sure to read these guidelines first.
The stream will be live at https://picarto.tv/Zedrin on Friday, probably around like 7 pst. I'll likely be multistreaming with Neayix again (unless he has things to do).
SO since there's a big influx of new people, I'ma get everyone up to speed on this project.
This is something I've been at for a while. I've tweaked a lot of it over the months. I dunno how long I've been at it, for a long while it was on the backburner but I'm pulling it off now that I've had enough of a break from it.
Basic synopsis: Rottytops finds Shantae's lamp, uses it to turn Shantae into a host of monster girls so they can have sex without it being weird. (At least, that's what SHE believes.)
The animation has two versions: one where Rotty is normal, and one where the magic backfires and gives her a dick.
IDEALLY the animation should be functioning with some basic commands in flash (I just need to import the SWFs into it from Toon Boom).
Transitions will be done in a storyboard-comic/animatic style (full drawings, but little to no animation. A sample was in the last WIP post).
The animation will have 4 animated scenes: harpy, mermaid, naga, and spider.
HERE'S WHAT WE'VE GOT SO FAR
For the first scene, Shantae is unknowingly hypnotized by Rotty after the first transformation. Rotty has one of two lines depending on the version: "I wish it [my dick] would stop feeling weird..." and "I just wish we could have sex..." Both result in the same thing.
This is the futa x harpy version. This is an updated version from the old one, which had Rotty on top, as the new intro makes more sense of Shantae to be leading. I was just working on this one tonight actually. (Some tweaks pending still. Everything else in this post is old.)
For comparison, here's the old one, which is also tasty:
That'll be a hidden scene just for Patrons.
The yuri scene meanwhile features a closeup on the goods.
Both of these scenes end with Shantae coming to, a little nervous and realizing 'oh shit I'm fucking Rotty what's wrong with me' only for her to still want to finish up (which Rotty happily obliges).
Then Rotty uses the lamp to go to phase 2: mermaid (with a tiny bit of BE).
Shantae at this point is having Rotty use the lamp to help her overcome her hesitations and relax easier.
This is all I have so far.
Phase 3 is then Naga, where Shantae's interactions with Rotty will be up to a vote for the lunchbox tier. It's basically between oral, or using her snake tail. In both cases Shantae now tries to hypnotize Rotty, a la snake eyes, to also try and get her lamp back.
It almost works, but Rotty goes to the next form, Spider, which backfires and results in her getting bound up and turned into Shantae's (temporary) fucktoy as a bit of kinky revenge. (Again, some details will be up to a vote).
SO YEAH.
Intro 1 is done for both versions, which leaves me with intro 2, intro 3, intro 4, and both versions for the spider and naga bits. Then it's a matter of compiling it all and programming it as an interactive flash, and rendering out video versions for those without flash player enabled devices.
It doesn't sound like as much when I put it out in a list like that, but it still is a sizeable amount of work.
Note that all loops are gonna be extended with unique animation and will actually be full scenes as well! I wanna try and see if I can't make a bunch of microloops throughout them.
No idea when it'll be done. There are a few other things coming up that I also want to participate in (like the summer animation contest on NG) so it's a matter of balancing everything. I'll try to release the loops specifically in a timely manner so the good stuff is available to patrons.

The scale brush is what I made to texture Garter's body
So, one of the rewards is access to the patreon Discord. I'm typing this up because there's routinely some troubleshooting that a few users have to do to get on it.
First things first, make sure you sync up your account here: https://www.patreon.com/settings/account This'll attach your Discord to your patreon.
Double check to make sure it is the right discord account. I've had a lot of users who accidentally made new ones in this step, or used someone else's account that shared their computer.
Next, check your email that's tied to your patreon account, spam included, and look for a 'Claim your Discord Rewards' email. If you didn't get this email, it likely means that it either A) went to spam / filters, or B) you have a different email attached to Patreon.
With that, you should have access to the Patreon, and the bot should give you a role so you can view the hidden channels!
If you didn't get the email when you first signed up, it might be a good idea to try re-syncing your accounts.
For more troubleshooting information, you can check here: https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/212052266-How-do-I-receive-my-Discord-role-
If all else absolutely fails I can manually assign roles, but I wanna avoid this if possible so my bot can manage roles properly, and so I don't have to do so repeatedly.
So I'm doing up the points for my next timelapse, and I figured a bit of a QnA might be cool.
I'll be covering the topic of Storytime Animators and talking about some of the struggles when making Hiro the Dense as well.
As patrons, if you guys want to ask any questions to me that I'll answer in my videos, feel free to shoot!
You can also ask multiple questions if you'd like. They can be about pretty much anything.
(While the questions can be about adult topics, keep in mind they have to be presentable or appropriate. E.g. asking about why I draw adult art is fine, asking what fetishes I like isn't)
Okay FINALLY getting back to work on this
This here is the mostly-complete intro bit for the futa version of the intro.
I'm gonna be changing up the old loop so Shantae is the one on top as well. The old one will be a deleted scene, just for patrons!
I'll probably encode a secret means to view it in the flash document when it's prepared. The way the scene is built though it makes way more sense for Shantae to be leading it (the motion will look mostly the same at least)
There's honestly still a long way to go with this project.
So in this world, there are:
-sentient androids
-dagonians / shark people
-kemonomimi
-humans
-kaiju / sea monsters
wtf am i writing at this point
UPDATE WILL BE LIVE SUNDAY https://www.pv02comic.com/
I have the recent Shantae pic timelapse'd on my harddrive for a video. Instead of music I wanna talk over it about one of three topics.
Which topic would be most interesting to you all?
I felt like drawing tiddy
didn't draw as much as I expected tbh. Drew Pixie, some shading practice, a massive tiddy Sheyla, and scrapped a Reiju drawing

It's a bigun
4 Shantae pics, wallpaper formatted! This is the public version of the post so it only includes the WP-sized, SFW ones.
Check the downloads if you're interested!
The youtube release is now up!
I've been so busy this week I almost forgot to get this done
WELL this wound up coinciding by pure coincidence. This is making for a very busy week for me.
BUT ANYWAY
I'm gonna do a request stream Friday with Neayix (usually do em every other week) and I wanted to offer a chance for Patrons to put in a request early.
The requests come out just black and white and are typically NSFW, maybe with some fairly tame kinks like BE or hypno.
The specific contexts are up to what I'm feeling like doing, and some details of the characters might be altered a bit to keep it in line with being a loose request stream. (I try to do like 3-4 per hour.)
So, all that considered, you're free to pitch any characters you want for requests! They can be your OCs, someone else's OCs, my OCs, or even fanart of known IPs.
For requesting, you can make up to 3 requests. Just be sure to have only up one to two solid refs of the character, one preferred.
Also just keep in mind I will not be doing all requests I get. I kinda pick and choose based on my preferences / what I find interesting / totally by random, and I'm only gonna do a handful of the patron requests, before switching to stream attendees half way. (I feel like that gives something to both active viewers and patrons.)
SO ANYWAY
Post your requests in the comments below! Max of 3 per person!
I'ma try something new for this animation, see how this fairs.
This'll be starting at 12pm PST/3pm EST!
You can watch at the following location:
EDIT:
The animation is now public on Newgrounds!
https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/712654
There'll be another post tomorrow when it goes up on Youtube.
BUNCH OF IMAGES!
This pack includes the following versions:
There's so many images that I've compiled them into zip files. As patrons you also get immediate access to the nude and full size versions!
A separate (redundant) post will go up when these are publicly posted as well, which will contain JUST the SFW wallpapers pics for non-patrons. (They can still get the NSFW ones through other sites, and won't have access to the higher res images.)
So I think I'm gonna make the bi-weekly request streams with Neayix / other guest artists a regular thing.
Though I also kinda wanna make part of it a perk for patrons. One thing I was thinking would be every other session, or some other timeframe, people in the $5 tier and up could drop up to three or four characters into a thread (with refs) in advance. I'd do a sketch/BW image of a random handful, only taking public requests if I did enough of the patron ones. (Maybe I'd do patron ones for the first like 5 or so, then open them to stream viewers.)
One big consideration is there wouldn't be a guarantee that something would get drawn. I'd mostly just choose a random assortment, based on what I wanna do namely.
I definitely wanna have an active, guaranteed time when you can catch my streams, so this might be good way to secure that.
Hiro the Dense is finally complete! I'm working on some boring parts now (namely just working with text)
For those in the $20 VIP tier, if you want to use a different image than what you currently have in your profile, please message me with an image by Saturday!
And for the $5 tier and up, if your pledge is in a 'declined' state at this moment, you need to resolve it and let me know you've done so by that time! My program won't extract declined pledges so I have to add you in manually once you correct it.
I hope to have the early access available by Sunday, and then release Thursday of next week!
Update done
i'm very happy with this one

IT'S HAPPENING
Above: the portal. It's namely some glow effects and blurry masking, with some turbulence on the drawing of the father. He's just a static image whenever he appears. No movement for him. The portal actually will play at 12 fps, all previews here have to be rendered realtime however, and as they're just screen recording I have to pause so it can load each frame. (Can't do a live playback like I can with GUI previews)
Candles. Again more toying with the 'glow' node. It's my favorite.
I'm gonna have some ambient gradients set to overlay to provide the shots with a lot more dramatic 'mood' but that's a post processing thing.
(can't do a preview for this one, click this link!)
Lipsynch of probably my favorite line in this entire thing.
Already shared, but it's just the scroll materialization effect. The scroll pops in with just 2 frames, while the clod beforehand is only 3. Sometimes simple works best. (This is what I mean by live playback as well, notice the lack of antialiasing. That means it's a GUI render, so things like glow won't appear.)
I've just realized I still need to put Hiro's insignia on his chest, but I planned ahead and can easily wire up something with some masking so I don't have to keep repositioning it. (I wanna do a few jokes where it looks like a dick instead of a hammer)
And then I just have to draw Hiro looking at his scroll and that's literally everything. I actually think I might have it done this week, and then published the week after.
So, so close to finishing the animated portion.
This is the pass I gave to Strelok for audio synching. The notes in the file are things for him to do.
Anything lipsynched stays, but some lines were removed. I couldn't remove them from the file without screwing up the entire timing of everything else, so there's basically dead space between them, so there's some odd pauses and the timings aren't necessarily final.
The very first scene is actually gonna have no dialog, up til he gets to the castle. I've scrapped the intro dialog in favor of a nonverbal one that I'm gonna make (namely just him reading the missive, looking up at the castle, checking addresses, etc.)
At the end there's a few pieces that I haven't animated yet, one of the lines I actually wanna see if Jello can redo cause I want to rewrite it. At the very end, instead of Hiro being like "oh, well this has gotten weird!" I instead want him to say "oooh. daddy issues, huh? WELP, that seems outside my qualifications, but don't give up! I'm sure you'll find a nice guy eventually!"
Note that this is basically the FULL script so if you don't wanna be spoiled on the final product, don't watch O:
I still need to draw up the demon dad, animate the portal, do the intro bit, and do the last little bit of Hiro animation for like the last 2-3 shots.
I have a much easier method to get patron names now so doing the credits shouldn't be as much of a pain as it has been in the past. JUST A REMINDER! If you're in the $20 tier, make sure you have an icon you want, or message me with the image you want to use.
This update is dum
public on Sunday http://www.pv02comic.com/
from a one hour stream.
Snake tiddy, hanging tiddy, Hex tiddy, multiple tiddy, clothes-bursting tiddy, Kirilia tiddy + Gardevoir no-tiddy
WOWIE ZOWIE THE VOICES FINALLY REVEALED
I actually tried to export a little bit more but a direct video export crashes toon boom whenever there's a shot change. So here's strictly the Queen.
I got all of her dialog lipsynched, Hiro colored, and Izilith lipsynched as well. I'm probably gonna send a copy to Strelok early so he can get a head start on sound effects.
I need to figure out what to do about music as well.
Socket has a bit of a panic attack and Pivot has performance anxiety
woo man lotta stuff
Here's the new gif. I finally figured out a fix for the tiddies.
if it weren't so active you'd be able to tell that the eye swirls actually are swirling around x: ah well
Variants available:
Normal loop, BE version, BE version with lactation, big boob loop, big boob + lactation loop, and small versions of both BE variants (because 100 frames of a gif at 900x900 results in pretty big file sizes)
9 in total, check the downloads!
Going live now!
I'm gonna be doing a multistream with Neayix tomorrow! https://picarto.tv/Zedrin
It's gonna be a REQUEST STREAM! It'll start around 5pm PST.
Invite ya fwends
It'll be NSFW, and people can request my chars, their chars, other peoples chars, fanart, whatever.
The will do's / will don'ts will be posted in stream.
Going through and coloring everything. Got Izilith done. Next i gotta do Hiro and the few missing parts on the Queen, lipsynch (my favorite part, actually), then do the intro bit (shortening it a little to remove some of the unnecessary pauses) and the demon dad and i'll be done animating!
Then I pass it off to strelok for audio stuff while i start working on the editing, effects polish, and video elements (e.g. credits)
SOCKET STARTS GOING INTO HER HISTORY OOOOO
update will be live Sunday! https://www.pv02comic.com/
That gif WIP I had posted recently in all honesty is way too complicated for what it's supposed to be.
The little bit I worked on was a major pain, and if I'm gonna spend that much time on an animation I might as well make it either a full thing, or make it a collection.
And since it was supposed to be quick, neither of those were good options. So instead, here's a new gif preview :V
Still is BE, still is hypno (will have variants without certain things) and as an added bonus now contains tentacles and the potential for lacta--I mean, coolant leakage.
In spite of being way more active, trust me when I say this is leagues easier to make than the prior WIP.
So, the first leg of this month is actually going to be a bit slow.
As mentioned in a recent update, Courtney is coming to visit and she'll be here for 10 days. I'll have a little bit of work to do while she's here, but most of the time we're gonna be spending doing things together.
I've built up a bit of a buffer on the PV02 updates so this shouldn't interrupt the webcomic at all.
In terms of animation, I plan to have the animation done for Hiro this month. I may need a few lines rerecorded, but with Courtney here that can be done direct, using my setup. Audio and stuff may take a bit longer but hopefully it should be completed before June.
I dunno when that little gif I started yesterday will be done.
so yeah I think that's about everything.
I honestly don't know when I'll finish this.
i just had a hankerin for some hypno laced with BE.
Next week's update is done super early!
Why?
I've got someone coming out to visit starting Thursday and won't be able to work on much for the 10 days she's out here.
So, I'm trying to build up a bit of a buffer so I don't have to worry about working on it while she's here.
As usual, updates post Sundays at https://www.pv02comic.com/
Just a quick process vid for how I did the hair for this shot.
Vid should be done sometime this May!

update will be live sunday http://www.pv02comic.com/
man why have I been so tired lately
I got this done ahead of time which is good, and i may start on the update after this one a bit early and make a bit of a buffer, cause next week I'm having someone come out for a bit over a week.
I have side art and things I want to do but my first thought when I try to do something fun is always "hey you shouldn't draw that you should draw work stuff instead"
blah.
I definitely plan to get the animation done sometime during May (at least, as far as I can. I might need a few more days for audio stuff and music.) On the plus side there's only a tiny bit more of that to finish.
Also, new video coming tomorrow, a really short tutorial on how to use vector layers in CSP.
Sorry I haven't been more active lately.
I finished up a tutorial I've been meaning to make for a long while. Didn't take long to produce at all.
I honestly should make more things like this. It's only about 4 minutes long and will cover vector layers and the 'set as reference layer' setting for Clip Studio Paint.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
fairly simply made. 2 batches of layers, one for the clothes, one for the body / rest of things.
lil bit of demon TnA
also a few doodle dump sketches featuring mostly butt, with some Zee bunsuit (she needs a new one.)
oh, also, small WIP:
drawing new portions is always a pain in the ass and goes slow
I dunno why i didn't think to include custom brushes earlier.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
This includes the source file (which has several folders for various 'settings,' such as hiding/showing outfits, expressions, and body types) as well as two custom lace brushes I had made by hand.
To add the brushes to your program:
The easiest way is to open windows explorer, find the brush file, and with CSP open, drag it into the tool category you want. I personally put them both in the 'Decoration' brush within the 'Clothing' category.
Additionally, I likely will go through and grab all my custom brushes I've made and assemble them into a separate post soon.
including naked with slightly body types (meaning boob sizes. though drawing her 'thicc' might've been fun)
I haven't drawn a conventional pinup in ages, and haven't drawn Zee in even longer.
This was some practice with blending and I'm really happy with the results. There's 6 variants in total! Check the downloads for the rest of them. Each size has a small variant that's about 60% of the original resolution to reduce file size.
If anyone wants to request a wallpaper variant, post in the comments which one(s) you'd like to see and what color / theming you feel would be good for a wallpaper and I'll add it to the downloads. (It'd just be a gradient or patterned background.)
Hiro: "And there's that guy in the portal..."
Demon Dad: '-Yo!'-
Queen: "UGH, THAT GUY IN THE PORTAL HAPPENS TO BE MY FATHER! And he is the one who ARRANGED with your order for you to come here in the first place AS AN OFFERING!"
tiddy physics
i've got two more expressive shots with her and then her animation is 100% done. (Color too, for whatever reason I colored her immediately unlike the other two characters.) Hiro has a few more simple shots I still need to do, and I still need to add color.
So that all leaves...
I very likely will be done with the animating before the end of the month.
We'll see if I can publish at that same time as well! I'll need to have Strelok go in and sound everything.
Another WIP of this.
I haven't drawn a traditional pinup in a long time, and I haven't drawn Zee in ages.
I'll color this later this week.
Also I'll be providing any special brushes I used to make this when I upload the source file! I whipped up a custom brush just for the floral trim on the bra portion and armbands.
I'll probably have to make a few other custom ones for the texturing on the lacy parts.
"SEX! YOU AND I ARE GOING TO HAVE IT!!!"
"...why?"
"BECAUSE THAT'S WHY YOU WERE SENT HERE!"
"Me???"
"DO YOU SEE ANYONE ELSE!?"
"Where there's that one girl over there...-"
"Fuck you."
God this is the first time making a dent of progress in like... a week. As I had mentioned I am so glad that I switched to doing it more familiarly with separated, partially rigged components. This is going SO much faster.
I've been fucked sleepwise energywise motivationwise inspirationwise etc. so I feel disappointed that i haven't gotten more of this done in the past week or so.
I opted to take a break from PV02 this week, so there won't be a comic update this Sunday, but here I am animating anyway :V
Toon Boom was driving me up the wall today. I only was able to get 3 drawings lined and colored, still have to do the transitions and Hiro's response.
Flash sometimes had an issue when drawing a figure that, even though it was closed, a microscopic gap existed which prevented you from filling it.
Toon Boom's gaps by comparison are much easier to see... but they're also WAY more frequent. It was giving me a headache to color this, else i would've gotten further today.
DICKS

i'm mostly taking a bit of a break this week (good LORD Toon Boom was getting on my nerves today) but sometimes I feel compelled to hone some skills and practice at times
BTW, if you want to contact me for something, such as a $10 tier commission, I strongly recommend you use the patreon messenger. I don't check that specific email often when I don't have commission season on, and there's also a chance it'll get sent to junk and I'll wind up missing it.
If you're on discord you can also contact me through there directly.

I think next week I'm going to take off. This is the end of this chapter, so a brief break to work on other things as well as just to kinda relax some feels needed.
It's now April, woo.
The April Fools gag over on pv02.tumblr.com went really well. As before you can get caught up at https://potionsbycesil.tumblr.com/
In other news, I wish that mentally I was doing better. The stress of dealing with the fallout in Vinny's stream went on for a few days. It kinda halted any progress I wanted to make on major things. I haven't touched Toon Boom since some time last weekend.
Fast forward to today, while I planned to start, I had to spend time sorting out another supposed impostor scenario (this time with someone claiming my work as theirs). The way it was handled still doesn't sit right with me, but I don't have a lot of options to handle it differently.
There's also a mess and confusion regarding my health insurance and doctor stuff which I'll spare you the details, but I've had to call them a lot to get answers about what's covered and what isn't (yay America). I don't even need that much coverage, this should be cut and dry and not be as tedious as it is.
I just want Mondays to be normal and boring for once.
In other news, I have a recording ready for a timelapse that I'd be up for doing a talking video with. I just don't know what to talk about that's simple enough so it doesn't require graphics, but is engaging to talk about over a speedpaint.
IT WAS A JAPE ALL ALONG!
For those who visited the tumblr, I hope it was fun.That ends this cross-dimensional crossover
Happy April Fools everybody!
PV02 will be back with a new updatetomorrow both on its official site and on its (now back to normal) tumblr blog!
If you wanna see all the April Fools Day shenanigans you might’ve missed, you can check them out athttps://potionsbycesil.tumblr.com/
Also, in the downloads are ALL asks pictures I made today and used in answers. Some might not work well out of context, so I'd suggest just reading the blog, but they're there if you want them!
I've decided to launch an askblog for Cesil! You can check it out here and ask her questions:
http://potionsbycesil.tumblr.com/
(also PV02 is totally canceled)
I didn't forget this either
Comic will be live on "Sunday"!
Also, man this week was annoyingly busy for me. Taxes, doctors appointments, and the bullshit with an impersonator in Vinny's stream has resulted with a lot of headaches for me.
I haven't made any progress at all on any projects this week, and aside from a single stream to try and take my mind off the Vinesauce incident I haven't had much time to do anything.
At least this update came out pretty good, I feel.
program: clip studio paint
I still get a few asks about the Shantae animation every now and then, so I'm gonna clarify a few things about it.
The project is not canceled, it'll be done eventually, however it will not be anytime soon.
Forgetting the other animation project I've been working on, which while it's just as long is way simpler in shot composition, the Shantae animation is a grand total of 8 sex scenes and transition scenes between them. It's also a complicated matter of how to present it that I THINK I have figured out but am not 100% sure yet. (You may recall I posted I had an answer using flash recently, which is true. It'll depend on whether or not flash fucks with toon boom graphics.)
By comparison the Curly Brace animation I made was a single scene so, while it was sizeably long, it was way easier to proceed with. The rig used was a single angle. The Shantae one meanwhile has 2 unique rigs for each scene.
Basically it's literally well over 10x as much work as the Curly Brace hypno animation.
I cannot stress enough how complicated and large the Shantae project is. The reason it's on the backburner is because I literally was starting to come to hate it, so it was either keep working on it and then abandon it, or put it on hold and come back to it when I feel better and can work out a better plan.
Depending on how people feel about it, I may opt to cut the 'movie' theming and make it more like a series of animation cycles you can click through, using the arrow buttons to change scenes, maybe with just an intro scene. This isn't something I WANT to do, but eliminating the transition scenes would definitely cut down a lot of the work while preserving what people want to see. It'd also depend on flash properly rendering all of Toon Boom's graphics, which if I keep em simple in terms of order that SHOULD be possible.
Part of the reason I was able to move so quickly through it at first was because I was treating each sex scene as basically just a single gif loop, which for me makes it way more manageable. I may consider proceeding with that mindset again and resuming work on it, as I still scatter some NSFW gifs in my workflow for fun. (And, to be honest, regular NSFW gifs are way more potent for a patreon page than a full length animation. I want to do both but gifs are stupidly effective.)
It'd also depend on what people want to see. Would you rather it be a collection of hentai loops and get it sooner, or would you rather it be two whole animated films (futa version and non-futa), but take like 2-3 additional months to release?
lotta Curly

Two pics of Curly Brace, one being a request for a milestone reward, the other just a random idea I had.

"Ohohohohh, you silly boy, it wasn't a mission to slay me... it was to LAY me."
"Oh. Why'd they need me for that, can't you do it yourself?"
"Hmhm, you're cute..."
RANT TIME OH BOY
Next time I want to do something frame by frame, I want you guys to slap me
very hard
with a phallac object
cause HOLY FUCK am I now finding mistakes I made with the similar shot in this. I was drawing her in 3Q and realized "wait, I did this already, I can just reuse those drawings!"
So i went to the drawings of her putting on the glasses, only to find out with the way I broke it down, I couldn't. To use it in that form I'd still have to redraw / make new drawings.
The organization is a NIGHTMARE.
So I spent the evening taking the original drawing and piecing it out into components like you would with a rig. While I'll still present it in a fbf style, now at least if I edit something, it'll show up on ALL instances of that drawing.
WHY DID I DO IT THE OTHER WAY CHRIST
GOD i'm such an idiot. I'll need to be extremely careful when I'm coloring the several other drawings, but I may split things into 'head' and 'body' so I can move the head around to different poses without requiring me to draw an entirely new head.
But anyway the moral of the story:
DON'T FUCKIN LET ME DO A FRAME BY FRAME MOVIE IN THE FUTURE
FUCK 'CHALLENGING' YOURSELF THIS AINT HELPING ME LEARN NUFFIN
At this point redoing a big chunk of the poses and drawings is actually going to be faster than just continuing on as I was so I may opt to do that.
yummy
super speedy gif made in just a few hours.
namely just for an ask response

Update will be live on Sunday
Tryin out higher resolution on the comics
Unrelated, I've had a few people remove their pledges recently, which isn't anything to note normally, usually it's due to financial issues, but a few in the exit survey have said 'the creator wasn't engaging as expected.' Which honestly doesn't really help me if I've been continuing on as per status quo.
Just to remind people, if you feel this Patreon page isn't up to snuff, or you feel like something is lacking or missing, please send me something about it. I can't change anything if I don't know what's wrong.
I don't know how many of these we're up to.
I've had other WIPs (and also cut a short shot that was kinda dull) but they're not as interesting.
I'm over 50% done with lineart by this point. I decided to not frame-by-frame this bit because LORD that would've taken me an entire week. A low level rig works just as fine. (Hence why it's colored while the rest is still lineart)
There's a few tweaks to this I still have to make to this shot but it's coming along.
Commission by Drewsgroove for Deeceeoh's birthday :V
Almeda has a business opportunity for Lexi.
It's Garter
This came out slightly 'eh.' I kinda gave up trying to do a texture for her scales. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
a few wallpaper proportioned versions are in the downloads.
WP1 is 16:9 (1080p)
wide WP is 21:9 (ultrawide)
iPad is 4:3 (high resolution, but also would work if you have an older monitor)
Nothing super flashy, but most of the first scene is totally linearted out and has the bit of bounce for in betweens. The one thing that's missing is the opening spread shot and the castle gate lifting, both of which will be absurdly easy to do (the spread shot I'm planning on doing just as a still image or two.
lord it's been a while since I've done something this big
I really hope it gets hits cause man it would suck otherwise. It's impossible to predict these things with Youtube.
SO, little rundown of everything:
not a lot to update on this month. As a reminder the best way to find out when I'm streaming is through Twitter, Tumblr, or Discord. And a reminder, if you sync your account to Discord through https://www.patreon.com/settings/account the bot will add you to the server automatically.
Little late, but here's the final bit of the guest updates from Skully!
will be live tomorrow at http://www.pv02comic.com/
Little rundown of everything to-do and yet-to-do:
Got the audio! I'm just waiting on ONE VA now, and they're literally just one line.
I've gotten the middle scene (first part of the Izilith encounter) drawn out.
I still need to do...
And of course all this needs to be colored as well, and I need to color the Izilith encounter bit. So far I have done:
SO still got my work cut out for me. But, it's chugging along. With audio present I can start the lipsynch, and it helps a LOT with doing the animation itself.
I realized that 'Hiro' also happens to be the name of the protagonist from Darling in the Franxx.
That totally slipped my mind when i started this but honestly I find that to be a happy little accident considering how much I loathe that show.
Here's a little bit of Izilith flirting with an expressionless Hiro.
Another guest update by https://nsfwskully.tumblr.com/!
This'll be live on Sunday as usual. There's one more guest update planned!
sticks ma leggy out real far
This is kinda the second pass of the animatic. I should have the audio available tomorrow so I can compile it and get into the meat of the animation process.
She breasted boobily down the stairs, bobbing with each titillating step.
Man, as of late I've been fighting some kind of psychological bug.
I just cannot get myself to work and my sleep schedule is 50 different kinds of fucked up (what else is new)
BUT! In spite of all that I managed to get back to work and get this far today. I realized from the last gif that I was approaching animating this wrong--I was getting everything rendered out first, which is something you do with a puppet, when I want to do this with more frame-by-frame stills (so I can make more unique, albeit more static poses)
To do this correctly I gotta get the motions roughed out, and focus only on animating the bits that actually move. E.g. in this, I have a layer for the bangs, hair, arms (x2, but they're synced), boobs, face and body (body is 100% static). Ranked from simplest to most complex, the loops go arms > bangs > hair > boobs. If you isolate any one part you can actually count how many frames are present, but when it's all together the loop is very well hidden so you can't easily figure out where it stops and ends.
This is one example where flash actually would be a bit easier to rough everything out in, though the visual quality will look a little better when done in TB. (Since flash easily allows you to repurpose existing layers instead of having to remake them each time.)
This is all stuff that I already know (or am supposed to know) but I have a tendency to fall back to my more used techniques sometimes.
I just realized I forgot to do a bit of a monthly update for February.
SO here it is in the middle of the month:
CURRENT PROJECT STATUS:
Hiro the Dense: character designs are complete, backgrounds are good to go. I'm still waiting on voice acting stuff. I've gotten all of my own lines recorded, just waiting on audio tests from a few others and then lines.
I'll be animating more this week, at least with parts that I don't need strict dialog for. Keep an eye out on my Youtube for when streams will be live throughout the week! My plan by and large is to start translating the character designs to Toon Boom.
Shantae: I've put the Shantae animation on the backburner for a bit. It was getting to be so large that it was a bit stressful to tackle / approach, so after the current animation project I should hopefully have a better way to approach it. It's a total of 8 sex scenes (4 yuri, 4 futa) with scene transitions in between each one. I've only gotten half of the sex scenes done, and the scene transitions are a bit more sizable to tackle. (Maybe doing the transitions more in the style of like a motion comic might be a better compromise?)
Valentine's Day I'll be streaming with Courtney (ProjectSNT). The stream will be up on her Youtube Channel in the evening (I think we're planning around like 6 or 7p EST?) Be sure to come watch if you can!
The guest updates for PV02 are coming to a close soon. Skully has been a huge help and it's been kinda nice to have more time off to work on other things. This week's update is gonna be by me so he has more time to work on the more action-packed update next week. I also really need to make chapter pages for the comic and actually sort the story into chapters.
Unrelated to anything, I haven't drawn anything character based in a while so I may do that tonight, just to take a small break from projects. The stream will be up at https://picarto.tv/Zedrin and will most definitely be lewd.
Not depicted: the actual throne
With this this SHOULD be all (or at least 99%) of the backgrounds I need. I may need to do one more just for the intro dialog bit, like a sky or a dramatic cliff shot, but that'll be easy.
My canvas size for these was 4000x2000 so it's roughly double that of what I'd use for the animation itself, so I should have plenty of room to zoom in.
One thing I totally should've done: just draw the walls and floor 100% as flat planar objects, then just perspective transform them into position. That would've saved a LOT of time and kept the room a lot more consistent. (Would've only had to add objects like pillars and the stairs.) Ah well. I'll keep that in my pocket for the future.
Still haven't gotten one audition yet, so the VA stuff still isn't compiled. I'm gonna record for Hiro next and start translating some elements of the character design into TB this next week.
UNRELATED! Courtney and I are planning a stream on Valentine's. It'll be on her channel, if you wanna watch that this Wednesday. O:
A bit late this week, there were a few communication issues.
Will be live tomorrow! https://www.pv02comic.com/
This is another guest update by SkullyLewds.
got a few BGs done today for the video.
Waiting on auditions to come back still so I can decide who voices the demons.
You can tell which of these were drawn when I was in an art rut, lol.
Colors are finalized finally! 'Cept for Hiro. I MAAAY still tweak him a bit.
You can also see the earlier concept art in the downloads.
This week I should have the voice acting squared away and recorded, and I'll probably get the BGs done as well. I wanna try getting some of the BGs done first, since I always struggle with them.
So today I was coming up with character design concepts for the cast of the upcoming short, and I need feedback and suggestions.
I was going to come up with multiple outfit ideas for all 3, but tbh I kinda fell in love with a few of the designs I used in the animatic.
Hiro's fuckin short
I'm not 100% on the hair and horn styles of the characters, nor the color pallets, so comment on which ones you like the most, or suggest some yourself! I'll maybe add a few more for feedback til I'm settled on one I like.
The hair and horn styles are mostly interchangeable between the Queen and Izilith, however I do want the Queen's horns to be the bigger / more upward pointing of the two
Another guest update by Skullylewds!
This'll be public on the website on Sunday!
I really need to add chapters to the comic.
here's what else I whipped up today! It's the animatic for the upcoming short I'm starting.
PROGRAM: Clip Studio Paint
This is a HUGE one, and is probably also really interesting to look at. I labeled most of my layers and grouped things so MOST effects / parts of the sequence can be toggled by just changing the visibility of the appropriate folder.
That said it's still hugely complex and the file is very modular so I could output various images without having to redraw or overwrite previous layers, and so I could undo changes where I wished. This file is honestly more complex than some of my Toon Boom documents, lmao.
This is probably the biggest set I've ever done. In total there are 16 images. 9 of them are a sequence, and then there's a cluster of post-sequence versions. The hypnosis/hacking bits start at sequence picture 05.
The full set features:
Thing's marked * are separate from the sequence itself
Additionally if there is enough demands for specific edits I might make a few more variants. Comment below or like other peoples' comments of things you want to see!
There are so many images that I've compressed them to zip files instead of uploading the individual ones. If you want the full res, it's 3000x3000. If you want a smaller download size, the sample size is 1300px instead.
I know I still have to finish the Shantae thing, but I've typed up a script for an animation for an original comedy short that I really want to do.
I found a thread from 4chan that's basically "super dense / naive paladin is sent to 'lay' a demoness. Winds up driving her up the wall with how clueless and un-corruptible he is."
Using that as a launch point, I wrote up about 5 pages worth of a script, but isn't too hugely complex so it'd be pretty easy to do. (Only 3 complete character models, and mostly dialog based.) It'll be safe enough to publish to Youtube as well.
I'll be whipping up an animatic after I finish the Curly Brace picture set, probably get started tomorrow just cause I'm eager. (Which is a nice change of pace, haven't actually had a desire to animate something major in a long time.)
WIPs of a spread of Curly Brace, being 'reprogrammed' :V
Low-key followup of the Curly Hypno animation. Also will feature a few BE variants cause why not.
I'm streaming this too. Check https://picarto.tv/Zedrin during the evening, I usually start streaming around 5 to 7 MST, but I usually go for a few hours.
Also here's some doodles from warming up
Mimi's confidence scales with her power, while embarrassment is like an inverse parabola.
Because let's be honest, your confidence would be proportional with your ability to command the Underworld, but your embarrassment with undergoing the changes would be inversely proportional with your ability to retaliate against someone hypothetically giving you shit for it.
originally was just gonna do a black-white maid outfit, but black and red just looks good on her.
Nuder version in downloads.
The form is to get a feel of how people feel about the page atm.
I'm gonna also respond to a few questions / statements from the form.
On that note, the Shantae animation is still on the backburner. Now that I know how to integrate it to flash I can make it semi-interactive when I do finally get around to working on it again, but for the time being it's too big an undertaking when my motivation is so low.
In line with mentioning streams, though, I do plan on streaming some art and doodles later today at https://picarto.tv/Zedrin. Maybe in like an hour or two from posting this.
EDIT: I guess I'll also use this to respond to a few other queries that come up.
Just a breakdown of the recent animation.
I figure it's a good time to have another one of these.
This is just a poll to see how people feel about the page currently.
Click the link above. If you've wanted to give me feedback (particularly anonymous feedback), this is a great place to do so. While sign-in is required, this is to ensure it's 1 response per person, and you can edit your response if you want to update anything. I am NOT saving the emails so it'll stay anonymous.
Animation practice, using mixed methods (both rigged and frame by frame)
Honestly for this committing more to one or the other probably would've been easier.
This week's update is done by me again, with a bit more collab work from Skullylewds. He did the draft / sketch page for this. There'll be more to this guest arc by him next week!
Program: Clip Studio Paint
Big canvas!
Pivot was long overdue for a reference update.
Some notes:
Just a WIP of a brief looping animation involving Kit.
Two patreon milestone rewards. The requests were 'cyber snake' and 'Pivot getting a best butt trophy'
Both kinda vague so I did something different.
I've been playing too much MGSV lately.
Another guest update by Skullylewds!

happy birthday Arin
I'm back on my bullshit
I haven't made progress on it in a while HOWEVER! I have made a breakthrough!
The predicament of figuring out how to get one of two animations to play in the same player based on user input had me stumped. On one end, I figured I could do it in Unity, html5, or WebGL, but those formats are 100% foreign to me (save for unity... slightly) and wouldn't work on Newgrounds due to the animation not being a game.
I'd maybe look to Unity if I couldn't find something else.
If I had been doing the animation in Flash, I would've just made everything as .swf animations. An SWF movie still allows for user interactivity.
Toon Boom has the option to export to SWF, however it was a bit buggy in the past, leading to errors in frames. I've managed to lock down those errors and export my animations as SWF files.
This means I can import them into Flash. They look like this:
It's not organized at all--every single part is on the same layer, and it's 100% in ones. But otherwise it looks IDENTICAL to the native TB animation.
This means I can plan out the scenes and audio cues just like I would with a normal flash game--which mind you I HAVE made a few small ones before. Programming wise, compiling the movie would just require:
THE BIG THING HOWEVER! This opens the door to MANY things should I desire to make them. Once again I can do interactive animations and secrets, only now made with the juicy goodness of Toon Boom instead of just flash. The Shantae animation in particular will allow me to stage how the animation progresses (I may opt to make pacing less plot driven and more user driven, where you get to decide when to advance the scenes, and each scene has different escalations. This would mean smaller / fewer transitions, but more in each scene. Though I could maybe put an autoplay in as well.)
So yeah. I will be back to actually animating for it soon, though I need to decide now what specifically I want to do. (If you guys have thoughts on what you would wanna see more--a more story-like pacing, or more direct control over the scene pacing--post your thoughts in the comments.)
If I ever make a sequel to the Curly Brace hypno thing, you can bet I'd take advantage of interactivity.
This is the start of a series of guest updates by skullylewds!
There'll be a lot of them coming as well.

2017 was kinda rough on a larger scale, but thanks to you all it's been a successful year for me. Thank you all for supporting my weirdness. ♥
The next coming weeks I'll have a guest artist helping with the PV02 comic, so that'll give me a lot of extra time to focus on finally finishing the Shantae short as well as other works.
Some other stuff I want to do this year:
Some more lewd doodles.
You'll probably wanna download for full view.
Also I'm still kinda in a lull period. That'll probably change once New Year's passes. I'll also have a guest artist for PV02 for a few weeks so that'll give me extra time to focus on the Shantae cartoon.
I totally forgot to share this here.
LAST ONE
Cold Warrior's milfbot Lily is flustering Socket cause she's too gay to handle this
FINALLY got everything done.
here's the last 2 sfw commissions. An Au'ra character over email, and something of Pivot and Flux
I got 2 commissions done today, but the other one is something a bit outside my usual zone so I'm probably not gonna post it at all, it'll be just for the commissioner.
Here's the other one though--pinup of Cerebella
Speedpaint for this coming soon!
Wow I got this update done in a single day.
woo!
Unfortunately I didn't have anything special planned for Christmas.
Getting through these.
2 commissions for GokuvsSonic
I've got about 6 more to go (7 technically but he hasn't paid the invoice yet.)
Commission for Isla over email, of their character dressed up as Iowa and as Shimikaze.
Commission for Sheba of his character and Socket.
All I got done today cause my sleep schedule is destroying me.
First batch of commissons. These are sfw ones.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
Alright thinking on it I think I goofed a bit.
I'm going to finish the commissions I've received, don't worry about those if you ordered one, but I'm gonna put a clamp on any further commissions. I know I said I'd give it a week so 7 hours really is sudden, but I've already accepted about a weeks worth of work in that narrow timeframe. I don't want to put the Shantae animation to the side anymore than I have to, and I still have the webcomic to update, and there's still a few event based things I want to draw (e.g. I want to do some Splatfest pinup fanart cause it's socks vs sweaters).
I may opt to reopen them again after this batch is done / if they wind up being surprisingly more manageable than I'm assuming, but if I do they'll be limited to something like single character or pinup pics, just for simplicity's sake (and for the sake of my mental and physical health. I literally got sick after doing mass commission work in June to get Toon Boom). The point was speedy comms after all.
Sorry if this disappoints anyone.
Commissions are open for all for the next week! (possibly / probably even shorter)
If you're interested, you can see https://zedrin-maybe.tumblr.com/commissions for rates / rules.
I tried to keep it simple.

Another request.
File 1 is clothed, file 2 is nude
Requests I got done today.
Contains:
There's also a WIP of a pic of Mimi that's also included in the requests. I'll be finishing that tomorrow most likely.
Wanna play?
WP version in downloads!
I've redone the animatic and writing a bit so it'll work a bit nicer and flow into the sequences a bit better.
This gif contains both the yuri and the futa versions.
Which immediately leads to these two scenes, depending on what version you watch:
In the full thing they won't just be loops, there'll be variety, 'climaxes' (or close to that), plot developments, etc. (E.g., the hypno effect wears off and leaves Shantae flustered, but she asks for Rotty to finish.)
I'm still posting over in the community and chiming in that Patreon is making the wrong steps regarding fees. Please ask questions if you have any concerns with the poll options.
The fee is 2.9% + $0.35 per pledge. I've been trying to find out if it's possible for it to be per sum of transactions, so 20 $1 pledges is charged the same fee as 1 $20 pledge.
FOR THIS POLL:
Vote for one out of options A, B, and C, and one out of 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Note: There are two parts to the fee: the percent (2.9%) and the flat portion ($0.35). As is, it is per pledge.
Choice 2 mean you're able to maintain your pledges with just the 2.9% fee, if the $0.35 is one time. The fee would still exist, but it would be calculated from your overall payment, rather than for each individual pledge.
Choice 3 means you cannot continue your current level of support for a few creators even if the fee was just the 2.9%.
Choice 4 means you will be vacating patreon entirely if this change goes through.
One thing I've learned, part of the reason for the changes is Patreon wants to switch from a per-month model to a recurring model. They want a patron to get 1 month of access the moment they pay, to avoid the cases where someone pledges on like the 29th and then gets charged again the 1st.
This in theory would mean more payment services would incur more fees. I personally don't think it's smart to transition to such a system until figuring out how to mitigate said fees. And IMO it still doesn't explain the need to charge the flat part of the fee for each pledge.
I'm polling this discussion just to get a bit more concrete feedback that I can share with staff. Just answer honestly, and if you have questions don't hesitate to ask.
Reminder: the change goes into effect the 18th, though you guys won't see it til the next billing cycle (January). So, you don't have to vacate yet (and ultimately if you do need to I 100% understand) but keep an eye and ear out for changes. I'm gonna try and keep you guys up to date.
Just a reminder, under the new system, pledges have a different cost than what's displayed.
For new patrons these costs will be visible at the start, but for existing ones it boils down to a modification of what you pay monthly.

little messy, was originally meant to just be a sketch
Some Pac man ghosts
These are a little messy since I didn't use vector layers for the lineart.
In the downloads: Pac Baby and Pac Baby H refer to 2x2 and horizontal arrangement respectively.
Alt / 2 refers to the blue version.
If they have the character name, it's a solo pic.
The PC is 100% complete!
I have fully migrated to my new setup. GPU is in (had to force the screw-holes on the case a bit) and all my files and programs are up and running.
My old PC is set up in the office with an old 270x, so I can use that as a server if I need, or just access its files through the network if I forgot something.
I may stream tonight to test further, though it is getting late... If I do, it'll be announced in the Discord server/tumblr. (or just follow https://picarto.tv/Zedrin )
I still can't help but feel like I forgot something, but if I did, I can just grab it from my old system.
So the changes appear that they will be final. I'm trying to talk to staff but it doesn't look like it'll have an effect.
The basic summary: Before, I'm charged between 8 to 15% of all total pledges for fees. 5% goes to patreon, and for me between 4 to 6% is for processing.
With this new change, I only have to worry about the 5% patreon fee, so I get paid a higher percentage of the amount pledged (up to 95% instead of around 90%)--however patrons wind up paying the processing fee on top of their pledge.
And I have confirmed that it is per pledge, unless they decide to recant / change that last minute.
The fee is 2.9% + 0.35. The flat fee part can add up if you pledge to a lot of creators.
To give an overview of the new tier costs:
As you can see, the fee is a higher portion the smaller the tier.
The thing is that the cost difference is per creator, so if you have a lot of small pledges you'll see more of an increase. If you have just a few pledges or larger ones, the net change is less drastic. (For instance, if you pledge to 17 patrons, you'll see a 2.9% + $5.95 increase overall.)
I don't agree with the change but I can't really do anything about it. The changes will go into effect December 18th, so you won't have to worry about them until the next billing cycle (January). New patrons will also have the fees reflected when they pledge, so they see up front what they're getting into, so this won't sneak up on them.
It's more you guys, the current and long term patrons, that I'm worried about. If you need to adjust or scale back, it's completely understandable (it always is, just even moreso in this case). I'm pretty adamant about not wanting to use permanent paywalls, so if you do need to part before January, you can always still find my content at my tumblr, my nsfw, via my webcomic and via my twitters (@zedrinbot and @zedrinbutt), as well as anywhere else where I'm active (it's all on my front page).
So, Patreon is implementing a new change regarding fees. This change will be effective December 18 (so it won't go into affect for this patreon page until January I BELIEVE).
This means that I get hit by less of fees--however, one change I don't necessarily agree with, is that Patrons will be charged differently for the same pledge.
The fees are now processed at the time of pledging and are ON TOP of the pledge, instead of taken out afterwords. This means a $2 pledge will actually have a cost of $2.40 (20% increase). This scales better at higher pledges, say a $20 instead has a cost of $20.93.
As is, about 12% on average of pledges I get received gets cut out in fees, though this can fluctuate and has been as high as 17% before (from Patreon + fees). With this change, it'll drop to a fixed 5%. That is actually a substantial change.
But, I don't think it's necessarily fair for Patrons to take up the difference. A change of 40 cents seems trivial, but when phrased as a change of 20% it seems more substantial. I would rather have a lot of supporters even if they're pledging at just small amounts, rather than just a few pledging at large amounts, and the smaller supporters are affected the most by this.
What do you guys think? Are you fine with paying a few cents extra, or do you think this change is unfair?
I have a way to contact Patreon through the community so if you have commentary I can relay it.

TOMORROW I MOVE MY GPU FINALLY
Also I have a kitchen again WOO
bonus Click pic in the downloads! (It's super small)
To do:
Additionally, tomorrow the kitchen should finally be back together after way too long. They were supposed to be out Friday/Saturday but they never came.
File migration is probably gonna be the slowest phase. I'll continue to use this PC until I have all my essentials moved over. And because everything will be on my home network, if there's a file I forgot to move, I can just access it and copy it over without having to do any physical file transfer.
And I've said this arleady but HOLY SHIT the new build is super quiet.
So, today I started putting my PC together.
I'm semi new at this so it's going slow.
I still need to...
I'll be doing that tomorrow. I've already bled inside my case so it's mine now it has my DNA in it.
The s340 case is nice but MAN is it a little cramped.
wee
I'll be honest I put off working on this cause until around 1pm today (yesterday?) I thought it was Thursday and not Friday.
Will be live Sunday! http://www.pv02comic.com/
Wow, i got that done fast. Kinda.
I spent all day working on it.
Honestly I have no idea what prompted me to make it. Do note that it is using the patreon statistics from November, rather than for December, due to when it was made.
The patreon supporter list is a lot longer than in the last full vid I've made. For VIP tiers, I used the icon in your patreon profile. Since there are so many of you now, I need easy access to ones I can copy-paste for making the credits image, can't be stuff I've saved on my PC. If you didn't have an icon, I used a placeholder for you. Be sure to set an icon on your account for next time!
Tomorrow I SHOULD get my new PC built as well which'll be cool, and the kitchen should FINALLY be back together.
Hype.
Specifically more novice animators.
The tutorial I'm working on is focused on 'smooth' animation and why animations often don't come out looking smooth.
If you've ever tried to do a 'smooth' animation, it didn't work out, and you'd like to offer it up to be critiqued or reviewed in the tutorial, post it here or send it to me! You can also post it in the discord.
Gifs or mp4 files work best.
You guys voted, an animation tutorial it is.
I'm gonna try and keep it short. I wound up writing two scripts as the first one went too long and would be like a 40 minute tutorial. The new one should be maybe 10 minutes and focuses instead on a few bullet points.
You can read both of them in the attachments if you wanna read the script--maybe it'll explain a few things to you preemptively. In the vid itself I'll have examples to show what I mean more. I'll only be using the latter script for the vid itself.
ALSO! One key note: the tutorial will apply to ANY ANIMATION PROGRAM. Flash, Toon Boom, Moho, Clip Studio Paint, Photoshop, pencil and paper, you name it.
what should I do a tutorial on
bunch of reuqests from tonight's stream.
I do them on rare occasions. You can get notified when I'm live by following my Picarto, following on Tumblr, or joining the Discord! (Those are the three guaranteed ways to find out when I'm live. I try to announce to Twitter as well but forget often.)
quick animation I did tonight for Animonthly.
ROLL FOR DEXTERITY
Also here's a sketch animation of Pivot's arm transformation.
Commission for Sheba of his two characters!
I've been a bit slow for the past few days, kinda been cooling down a bit from the holidays / trying to get my inspiration back up. I'll likely be back to streaming come Saturday.
PC parts are starting to come in. I won't be able to start building til after the the cabinets are reinstalled (we're waiting on All State to approve the rest of the work, since there was more damage than anticipated.) HOPEFULLY they'll be back together before the rest of my parts arrive. I just don't want dust where I'm working.
KINDA
it's been ordered
and then I gotta build it
CPU: i7 7700k
MOBO: ASUS Prime Z270-A
Cooler: CRYORIG H7 (cheap but effective)
OS: Win10 64bit (new license)
RAM: 16GB 2800MHZ
Storage: 240GB SSD (currently in storage) || 2TB HDD
PSU: Corsair Semi Modular 750W, Gold
Case: NZXT S340
Originally wanted to go Ryzen, but then I found out Toon Boom wouldn't really see a significant advantage, as the multicore doesn't help with live previews, which is more a priority. So, Intel it is.
I'll have a new license for Windows so I'll be able to use this current PC as a backup. My GPU will be migrated over from this setup (GTX 1070).
Random gif gift for my friend Neayix. You might've seen him helping mod in my streams.
Orinth is a monster girl with a prehensile clit. And sometimes a dick:
(i needed practice drawn weens)
This was a patreon request by Bryan! Decided to go through and gif it.
cats, tits, and milk
hell ya
just a list of things to expect this week / that I'm working on / life updates
You'll notice I've been pumping out a lot more gifs lately. This has largely been a good chunk of practice--I wanna get as fast and as optimized as possible in TB, so upcoming stuff will be faster to churn out. So even if I haven't put in a lot of work on the Shantae animation lately, when I do get to it it'll go faster.
Also, as far as the house goes: the only thing left is to reinstall the cabinets. The backs got a bit damaged during removal so we need to wait for approval from the insurance company, but they should be all back together this week.
As a reminder, you can catch my streams at https://picarto.tv/Zedrin and https://www.youtube.com/zombiezephyr/live. I don't post stream announcements to patreon cause I'd have to post like one a day, lol.
And again, if you have discord, sync it to your Patreon account by going to settings (on patreon). You'll be added to the private discord server!
Super late Bday gift for my friend Alfa!
When Dr. Doe is drawn with big boobs you could say she's "en'doe'd"
Eh? Eh???
anyone???
BDay gift for my buddy Herny! His webcomic launched just last week.
Timelapse of my sci fi v fantasy fanart!
Program: Clip Studio Paint
This is a really dense file cause there's two pictures in it essentially, and then some for the WP arrangements.
I used quite a few layers for colors but that was just so I could easily keep clothing, skin, and tentacles separate.
Not my most organized source file, but at least it's fairly straightforward.
This post contains the full size images as well as the wallpaper (WP) formatted ones!
The upcoming splatfest kinda had me inspired. Scifi v fantasy, aka robo vs monster girl.
Toughest choice I'll ever have to make.
There'll be a timelapse coming up this Thursday as well of this!
This is the public version of these posts.
The next Splatfest is scifi v fantasy or as I read it: robot vs monster girls.
Check the downloads for the WP sizes!
(Publishing this preemptively so I can link to it in the metadata for other stuff.)
i don't know how many of these have been made so far.
buT ANYWAY:
Anyway though, things are at least normal enough now where I can work on extra things again. If you're in an appropriate tier and were waiting to ask about a commission, feel free to shoot me a message! As a reminder, rates are viewable from here. I've also included a new calculator sheet with preset options that people may use to figure out what the prices should come to! (You'll need to make a copy of the sheet to use the calculator.)
just another WIP of the print
I'll be steaming later tonight most likely again!
WIP of an image I'm working on for splatoon 2
The next splatfest is scifi vs. fantasy
or as I put it
robot girls vs monster girls
and they expect me to CHOOSE
You can read these gifs in either order you wish!
Did this in celebration for reaching 15k follows on Tumblr.
These are the higher quality gif versions, but also included in the downloads are the MP4 versions, which are even a bit higher quality!
JOEKS
will be public Sunday at https://www.pv02comic.com/
Celebration gif for my NSFW reaching 15k followers
This is one of two gifs, the second one I'll be making (and hopefully finishing) tomorrow!
(now you see why I made that Socket rig hurr)
Just a doodle. Not anything really substantial.
Just felt like indulging in some comically sized knockers.
Do you guys want sketches like these to each get their own post if they're individual, or would you rather they be grouped into bigger posts / included with other posts, even if it means waiting a little to see them up here?
The repair guys have managed to find the leak in the pipe. They were worried it was a slab leak (below concrete) and fortunately it's not, it's in the wall just before the underground part of the pipe.
They've chiseled away the brick so the plumber can get to the leak to repair it. That shouldn't take long, once he's scheduled.
After that, the repair guys will come back, fix up the wall, and then rebuild the kitchen and it'll finally be done!
thank fucking god I miss having a sink.
IN OTHER NEWS:
I've reached 15k followers over on my nsfw tumblr. I have an idea for what to do for that in celebration, just a little frisky gif involving Pivot and Socket (I've even been working on rebuilding my Socket rig for it). I need to overhaul my Pivot rig for the 6th time as well in preparation for that.
Some samples from the Socket rig:
-socks (socks are a separate object that slides over all other leg parts, instead of recoloring existing legs pieces)
-mouths (uses the same mouth sets for profile, 3Q, and front, using a deformer in one of 3 positions for each angle.
As for the Shantae animation, still making progress on that, little by little. As mentioned I have to do Rottytop's rig. Hentai rigs go faster as they're usually one-offs so they don't need as much pre-work as my major rigs have.
Just a quick test of this rig. It's only used at one angle (with one head turn) so this is all that's needed to test it.
Super simple, just gotta make Rotty's basic build and then I can start creating the intro scene!
And note that while this is SFW, the full animation definitely will NOT be.
She's still getting used to this whole 'transformation' thing.
Bonus:
Downloads also contain a much less lossy MP4 version!
use caution when practicing with your newfound demon abilities
WIP, this actually isn't the full animation. Also there'll be other transformation aspects (e.g. hair color, clothing, wings, etc.)
I recently published a few timelapses this past month. You can watch em here:

it's a biggun
program: clip studio paint
also includes 3 alternate breast versions, though 2 of them are incomplete (and look kinda silly so I won't be finishing them)
finished this up
no idea how the shading on the stomach came out that nice
downloads include:
-clothed version
-naked version
-big boobed version (didn't go too crazy cause it started looking silly)
I'm planning to stream animation work tomorrow, and it'll be NSFW. If you wanna watch it made, be sure to give a follow over at https://picarto.tv/Zedrin
New month, woo.
First up, house repairs. The abatement team came by today and cleared out the asbestos. We need to wait for that to dry, then the plumber can fix the broken pipe, and then the restoration team can rebuild our kitchen so we can get our sink and stove and dishwasher back. Hopefully it doesn't take too much longer.
I still am kind of on standby as far as patreon commissions / YCHs go. I know I had promised those as reward options a while ago but thing after thing has been interrupting them.
I'm working on this week's PV02 update as I type this but MAN am I having to force myself hard to work. I'm at a low point.
The Shantae animation has the first half of its loops / scenarios prepared. As mentioned, I'll be releasing it in two parts--first part containing the mermaid and harpy forms. I need to still prepare the introduction and scene transitions and the backgrounds.
On a more positive note, Toon Boom 15 is packed with new features that I and a buddy have been discovering. Some examples include a toggle to make an object dependent/independent from its parent transformations (great for walking animations for keeping the feet planted), and there's a new shape transform node that allows you to smoothly morph a vector curve to a new shape (WAY better than flash's shape tween (hello BE animations)).
I kinda also want to look into maybe making more regular animations, e.g. stuff in scope similar to the ghost animation I did recently. Short, 15-second animations, some SFW, some NSFW. Those in the $5 and up tiers can suggest ideas over in the Discord server.
Which, if you don't have an invite to the Discord yet, PM me and I'll help you get in.
Forgot to upload the Cesil one, so have both of them together!
Program: Clip Studio Paint
Spider has a puss puss
More Cesil for Halloween. Though probably won't be done in time. :,)
I kinda wanna start seeing if I can't also start producing short animations about weekly, like SUPER short, like the length of the ghost animation I did. That one took me 3-4 hours to make so it'd be manageable.
Would be a mix of nsfw and safe for work things.
Pivot steals Cesil's costume idea
This has a wallpaper format option btw! It's available in the downloads.
The ones PivCesil are 1080p and are two individual wallpapers, while the dual one is for an ultrawide monitor / extended display.
And the 'witch piv WP' is just a solo wallpaper
I've made a post about this on my blog but I figured I should share it here. This is a little late, but anyway:
Recently Patreon implemented a few changes to their community guidelines. This seemed to at first signal they were coming down harder on adult content, and a few pages had been locked down for 'review.'
I have access to the Patreon community forums so I have a direct line to talk with staff, and they explained what's going on. To get it out of the way early: there is nothing to fear.
If you see anyone panicking over the recent changes, or even assuming the worst, share this information with them.
Just a thing I'm working on for Halloween.
public version O:
NOW WITH SOUND
Finally got around to finishing this.
Now comes the drafting stages for the animation itself. E.g., transitions, dialog, backgrounds, etc.
So, few more updates on the asbestos situation.
Turns out the asbestos isn't part of the drywall itself, which is good. it's just in the joiners that connect the drywall to the masonry. Which means it's just a few studs where there's asbestos.
Unfortunately it still has to be removed and that'll still be a process. But it also means the office wall doesn't have any asbestos in it either (which it was built much later so it shouldn't've either way).
We're currently stuck waiting on the insurance company to get back to us regarding our cabinets. They're saying only 6 feet of removal is covered, but it's all one part which would mean MORE damage would have to be done to limit it to 6 feet.
Insurance is stupid.
In any case it'll be a bit before they get back so things are kinda at a standstill atm, so I'ma take advantage of this to stream more today and actually try to work on something substantial.
If you're not yet, follow me at https://picarto.tv/Zedrin to get notified when I go live.
Or just join one of the discord servers, there's the patreon exclusive one and the general one. (Comment if you need an invite link and I'll message it to you.)
Guess who has asbestos in their walls
It's not a huge risk to me but it does complicate the repair process. I've already moved everything to the other side of the house, into my room, so I'm far away from where the damage is.
Normally the asbestos wouldn't be a huge issue cause it'd be inside the walls itself, not airborne, but since they need to knock out part of the wall to get to the broken pipes it has to be abated first.
We're still waiting to hear back from the insurance company to figure out the next step...
So, we're starting to repair / restoration process.
The first week of it involves setting up giant de-humidifier fans right in my FUCKING office to drain out the water damage.
These things are noisy as fuck.
I'm going to try and move my office temporarily but there likely will be zero progress on any projects for this time period. Definitely won't be able to stream at all.
I'm not happy about it either and I hope my hearing won't be damaged after this week. This fucking sucks and I hate this house.
so there's a bit of a leak in our home that to repair, we're going to have to knock out a portion of the kitchen. This'll mean we won't be able to use the dishwasher, kitchen sink, stove, or washer for about a month.
Yay.
And all this demo work and having to act as a contact for contractors / repair guys is likely going to cut into my productivity. (Already it interrupted my plans to stream today.)
This same shit happened last year when were renovating my office area and it sucked ass.
I'm gonna try to keep up with my projects and stuff but be prepared for a few slowdowns.
ALRIGHT! I'ma make these officially open now.
A YCH stands for 'your character here.' They're premade animation templates that are modified to be most any character you'd want. It results in a high quality gif at a lower price, while I don't have to do a massive amount of animation work. The tradeoff is they're not totally unique.
These are available for commission for anyone. This'll include nonpatrons soon as well. People who've been in the $20 for at least a month can also get one for free as well!
Do note that patreon discounts do not apply to YCHs.
YCH1: bunsuit strut. ($25)
This one is highly modular. The outfit is largely locked in place, but the bust size can vary greatly, and assets (especially around the head) are highly modular. If there are parts or changes you'd like to see but don't know if they're possible, just ask.
YCH2: Wiggle ($30)
Clothing on this one is limited to anything that's continuous from the waist to the skirt. So things like the sweater shown, dresses, etc. are ideal. They can leave the shoulders exposed like in the sample, or cover them.
I alternatively should be able to do a nude variant. The only major stipulation is that whatever goes from the waist to the hips is consistent.
As with the strut, a lot of the head parts are highly modular, though I don't have all of them premade yet. The bust size is also a bit more limited, but can vary from about a B to a G. (may be able to go beyond that, but it hasn't been tested yet. Lateral motion is harder to keep consistent.)
If you're interested, or are eligible for a complementary one that you'd like to redeem, just shoot me a message!
Today's WIPs of the shantae hentai animation. Above is the long loop, below is the short loop.
And then of course the classic yuri version, which is still WIP:
I experimented with some new tricks on the boob, where the outline is on a layer behind the tit itself, and is filled in solid. By offsetting its position I can make the outline slip in, out, around, etc., helping simulate a bit more depth and 3D. (I picked this trick up from studying Minus8's animations, he does it a lot.)
Sure beats drawing every single frame lol.
I think I'm cap it out at just 2 options: this one and the bunsuit strut, just fort his batch.
This one isn't as modular as the other one (though I have modded it to be Courtney). Like the bunsuit strut the outfit is a bit limited, though I should have a nude / similar options available. For outfits, anything that has a solid connection between the torso and the skirt part works (like the sweater used here)
There are also 2 bust sizes and as usual I can scale them a bit further.
I'll have more details about the YCHs this week for the $20 tiers and for anyone interested in commissions!
I'm working on resuming one of the YCH options again. The bunsuit one is pretty much complete, the new one is more of a hip-shake dance animation.
I'll be streaming the production of that one to https://www.twitch.tv/zedrinbot and https://www.youtube.com/zombiezephyr/live today. (probably within a few minutes of posting this actually)
The Shantae animation is still underway. I've taken a short departure from it to work on a few other things so I don't feel stale on it. I should have the mermaid bit done this week, and then will work on getting the scenes set up for the whole thing.
As a reminder, if you're in the $10 or higher tiers and want to commission me during off-commission season, just shoot me a message!
As far as the recent survey goes, people seem to be interested in more personal updates from me, so I'll try to post here a bit more often. Usually I try to keep the patreon fairly organized so it's easier to go through backlogs and find old content.
Otherwise a few people had said they want to see more specific content that appeals to them, but hadn't suggested anything in any of the custom entry fields. And a few people (not many) had said they were feeling neutral or unhappy, but unfortunately they didn't disclose why. x:
(Also someone had requested if I could include source files and the like in the original post instead of making a separate post for the source file--I cannot do this. Patreon doesn't let me set rewards according to tiers, they currently only let me set permissions for the entire post. So, source files need a separate post. I've tried pitching the suggestion to them in their community forum but if they've seen it it probably won't be coming for a while.)
New timelapse video, haven't done one of these in a while.
I'm looking for feedback on my page. Please give me a hand and fill this out!
PV02 is a webcomic about a robot with depression who punches things
Program: Clip Studio Paint.
It's too bad I can't sort downloads by tier. That'd save me a lot of time.
These are the high-res versions of the Cesil pic, I have to make a separate patron-only post.
It's Cesil's favorite month.
She's feeling festive.
Gonna finish this up tomorrow and probably have a timelapse vid for it.

Fixed up the animation a bit and redid a lot of it, it's a lot more active now and not as floaty.
Progress on the mongirl animation. The timings on these ones are a bit slower--probably will adjust it a bit with the futa version. It feels floaty now. I'm also open to alternate ideas for that shot, if anyone thinks I should do something in place of a titjob.
That said I'm happy with the feel of the yuri version.
Source file for the image of Kit.

Look what I caught
It's a mini sequence as well with a very small touch of BE at the end :V Download the images to see the full thing!
Just some pics of Kit and Zee.
Dunno if the one of Zee will go beyond just a sketch but hot damn do I like how the one of kit is coming out.
Forgot to post this one here.
Program is Clip Studio Paint.
hey man that zombie girl has a
?️enis
in spite of being more complex animation wise the swapout for this went a lot faster than the regular scene.
Up next: mermaid version, then saving everything to loops, and then compiling the first half.
Yuri bit of the upcoming animation.
This loop I BELIEVE is done now. I'll work on the futa version later this week.
Then I'll do the mermaid one
And then I'll go through and do the transition scenes / dialog bits in the full thing O: and that'll be the first half done.
Getting the loops done first of the harpy form. They're only 20 frames, 24fps.
The plan:
Below is also the futa version (version F) of this scene. Based on the votes, about 25-30% of people didn't want futa at all, so I'll be making two versions of this animation.
I'll gradually be streaming more and more as I get back into the swing of things. I figure if I can do 3 hours a day minimum on just this I can get maybe one scene done a week. Though I also have the other scenes to do as well, so I'll probably still opt for releasing the first half of the cartoon first, and then releasing the full version later when it's done.
decided to try doing digital painting again, and comparing it to my 'cel' style.
The cel version took less than half the time.
WIP of a Mimi drawing.
I kinda get hyperfixated on characters when I design them I think.
if I'd stop passing out right in the afternoon i'd actually be able to stream / get more done.
My sleep schedule's mostly fixed but now I'm just not getting enough.
ANYWAY: September was a bit slow of a month, as mentioned due to the trip and stuff. Things will be slowly getting back in gear.
If you're in one of the grandfathered request tiers and didn't get your request drawn, it's likely cause I didn't receive it until the trip, so I had no way to work on it, and then exhaustion and other work catchup kinda gimped my ability to even work on them. You can update your request when I send out the notice this month.
As mentioned, for this month i'm gonna be working on the Shantae animation. I'll likely be doing it in chunks, one for each form. It'd basically be a series of NSFW loops.
I also want to get more YCHs going. Maybe add in a halloween themed one into the mix.
Also, for those following the webcomic, i've tweaked a few elements of the site, so now there's a functioning archive. I think this month I'm really gonna polish up the website so it looks more presentable and less cluttered.
I’m still dead tired from my Florida trip and insomnia, and with 2 weeks of no drawing my skills are in the shitter at the moment, so I need extra time to get my abilities back on track.
so have a tiny Pivot that is an embodiment of how I feel.
Updates will be fully back on track starting next week.
ALRIGHTY
Due to the poll results, I think I'm gonna attempt to do two versions of the Shantae animation.
That means it'll be a lot of work, but at least use shared assets. There'll be a total of 8 sex scenes (2 per form, 4 forms), and 5 in-between cutscenes. (intro, and then one for each form).
The first version will be vanilla yuri, the second will give Rotty a bit of extra hardware.
This is gonna be a big project so it'll be a while before it is out in full. I want to aim for by November, however. I may look to recruiting other animators to help with it, maybe for BGs or for doing individual scenes, or even just for helping do the dialog / typsetting. 13 scenes is a pretty tall order.
I also likely will release this in parts. Since it's sex scene loops I can probably use gifs for the tumblr version and wait until the full thing is done before uploading the vid version to Newgrounds.
So yeah, that's what's down the pipe.
another YCH, since the fighting game poses kinda fell through and after the trip I don't feel like reworking them to make them viable.
I've been looking at too much of Minus8's stuff.
ALRIGHTY this is what I got done today.
Based on the lunchbox poll, futa seems to be a tie between neutral and wanted. If people want me to I can maybe make a cut version that doesn't have the futa bits in it, but otherwise for the rough boards it's in there.
This is considerably more complex than the prior Curly animation and contains a little bit of hypno among a few other sprinkles of kinkles.
Might be done before November? Honestly no idea. I plan to try a bit choppier animation for some bits.
The next animation is shaping up as follows:
Shantae Monster Girl Madness, featuring Rotty Tops.
Rotty gets ahold of Shantae's lamp and uses it to transform her into various monster girls, periodically accidentally mind controlling her to prompt Shantae to get kinky with her.
One of the other poll options from before involved futa and got fairly popular, so I'ma toss it in here.
If opted for, it'll only be one or two of the shots near the end that feature futa Rotty. I more want to know if futa is a major turnoff for anyone here.
Depending on the complexity of the shots I may make two versions of the end scenes, one normal and one futa'd.
As usual if you have ideas not included in the polls, mentions them in the comments.
just a few practice doodles since it's been 2 weeks since i've drawn
Work on projects will resume this week.
I've got the Shantae anim thought out, just need to start boarding it.
Also expect a few bits of art here and there
not exactly an interesting file but here it is nonetheless.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
just a Mimi doodle
I might be working on yet another YCH to pair with the bunsuit one (and not finishing the fighting pose ones instead of just remaking them)
either way from the 12th to the 24th I'll be in Florida so, aside from maybe tomorrow if I'm up to working on something, there won't be any posts (apart from the previously scheduled comic releases) until I get back.
I felt like making a tutorial / low-key model sheet today
so this is that
This is a lunchbox specific poll!
So, I've been rolling over a few ideas, and I wanna know what you guys think.
I originally had the idea of using Bolo for the partner / lamp thief, and making Shantae go from reluctant-to-into it-to-dominating.
One other idea I had though would be for the thief to be Risky Boots instead. Maybe she uses some of Shantae's magic to give herself a package. The theme would be more mind control reliant, most likely.
Another option would be for it to be Rotty Tops and it's just straight up yuri instead. It'd require reworking some of the shots, but the basic gist would be Rotty wants to have fun with Shantae, uses the lamp to get her started / reduce Shantae's inhibitions, and then again by the end Shantae's into it as well.
One last option I've considered would be for Shantae to instead be 'passed around' between various other monsters. She's transformed to fit in with them, and then has sex with them. This would be a bit more impersonal and would go a different route than the original beat boards.
Of course you can suggest any altercations on these ideas, or if there's alternative suggestions, mention them in the comments as well. E.g, if Rotty wins, but people still wanna see futa, that can be a thing. Or maybe of some of Shantae's forms have a ween instead. Additionally, comment on what, if anything, you'd want to see hypnosis / kink wise. I'm going to opt for what makes the most sense / works out best for Shantae in the end, but that can vary depending on the outcomes.
Additionally, if there's any other mongirl forms aside from naga, harpy, spider, and mermaid that you want to suggest, mention them here as well.
Some doodles of Mimi and her still WIP girlfriend. even if I'm not gonna be doing the succubus cartoon first (unless people change their votes) I still wanna get her fleshed out a bit for when I DO make it.
Rest of the pics / full res images are in the downloads!
Reward requested by Tyler, featuring some leaky business.
Also a bit of mind control.

Guest update by Voca Lee!
I should be getting back when this finally posts publicly so the regular schedule will be back.
There's two ideas that are most popular.
The current pitches for both:
Shantae the shapeshifter - Shantae's lamp is stolen (probably by Bolo) and he uses its powers to mind control her in short bursts, and to force her to transform. He promises to return the lamp in exchange for sex, and through the suggestive power of the lamp Shantae agrees. The two bang, with Shantae actually getting more into it by the end without any influence from the lamp, until one form she takes allows her to snatch the lamp back. She's not done, though, and completely dominates him, tying him up and finishing the 'deal,' on her own terms. Lunchbox might be able to suggest additional forms for shots. This would probably be to music, sorta like a hentai music vid. While shorter, it'd have various and detailed scenes (done in a style faithful to the recent game).
Mimi - A yuri animation. Mimi is a reserved, nerdy girl, and unwittingly a half succubus. Her best friend is hanging out and starts flirting with her, which, when she tries to nervously play along, results in her succubus side coming out for the first time in her life. The two kinda experiment with her abilities and new form--minor shapeshifting, a decent bit of hypnosis, an aphrodisiac effect, etc. (lunchbox may be able to pitch additional kinks), with Mimi going from completely shy and reserved to increasingly dominant as things progress. This would be a bit longer, more plot driven, and would have a mix of simple scenes (especially for comedic effect) as well as more detailed ones. It'd also be voiceacted.
Work on the winner wouldn't start til the end of the month, since this month I have the trip coming. While the Curly Brace animation took me a week to animate, these are both a lot more dynamic so they'd take a bit longer, most likely a month. (I think both would roughly take the same time to produce, though.)
If you also think there's a modification to one of the ideas, or you had an idea to suggest yourself, feel free to mention it in comments.
So, for a while I tried out using the $1 tier in place of the $2 tier, and eventually I reverted the change. There's been a few people still in the $1 tier, and they've still gotten the same perks for a while--however, there is going to be a bit of a change.
The $1 tier is back, however now is more 'safe--' you get the same perks as the $2 tier, but from this point on it excludes NSFW posts. It's for if people wanna support JUST the webcomic or JUST the youtube channel. This is to make it the patreon a bit more palatable to other people. If you're grandfathered in the old $1 tier, and you still want to see NSFW content, you'll want to upgrade.
The $2 tier is unaffected and still offers all the same perks as it always has. You'll still get early access to upcoming lewd animations and prints n things.
I really wish Patreon made it easier to run multiple pages, or there was a way to tick posts individually (so someone who is filtering out NSFW wouldn't see posts they don't want, while still supporting at a tier they want), but for now this seems like a good solution.
okeythatizall
Beatboards are basically minimalist storyboards, which are minimalist animation frames.
there are 14 boards in total. You can download them to view them from the zip, or just watch the gif version to get an idea of roughly how things would play out.
It'd be very loose hypnosis, unless people wanted me to amp it up. As is it affects her initially and only when the lamp is held up, and she winds up getting back control by the end.
Voice your thoughts between this and the succubus idea over in one of the recent 3 posts!
So, in my announcement post I mentioned an idea of basically succubus yuri.
This is the character design I've had in mind that would be used as the protagonist of that animation.
I'll be uploading another post that's instead a bunch of beatboards of the Shantae idea if you wanna compare. Voice in the comments of any of the 3 posts (this one, the shantae one, or the announcement post) which one you're more interested in seeing made!
Like the shantae thing it'd have a tiny bit of hypno. It'd also have aphrodisiac effects.
-Mimi and her best friend are going to her house.
-Friend flirts with her, cause she has a crush on her
-Mimi doesn't know what to feel, but kinda plays along and gets into it
-starts accidentally 'affecting' her friend. Hypnotizes her by accident, induces an aphrodisiac, etc.. The shapeshifts also start coming. Her friend really enjoys it all and encourages it.
-The more back and forth that goes, the more she starts changing. The friend kinda eggs this on.
-By the end Mimi is leading. When she goes back to normal she's embarrassed and flustered and all, not because of what she did but because she didn't know she was part succubus.
-But it's all okay cause now they're girlfriends
WELCOME TO SEPTEMBER
Stuff in the works:
So, these are the tentative upcoming YCHs.
They're a bit cumbersome to mod, but I MAAAAY have most of the bugs worked out. I'm at an impasse, debating whether or not to ship em as is, or if I should just redo all 3 of the models using the principles I used with the bunsuit strut.
And the source file for that previous image
quick doodle for a friendo who also has a titty kittty
I totally forgot to share this one.
Program: CSP
ALRIGHT I think this is done. Here's two variants showing a few possibilities and pre-made things.
These may look like gimmicky OCs, but they specifically demonstrate a variety of modular parts.
The way this is built, I can VERY easily:
I need to do this same process with the fighter pose YCHs, especially the color override bit. It saves SO much time.
I'm so happy with this even if it's super small.
This may be another YCH option available soon.
Not sure how to do the legs easily...
I also need to start another major project.
Someone commissioned me to make a few gifs of Pivot using the YCH templates I'ma be retiring soon.
Enjoj!
the SFW edition :V
Boobs optional.
I'm still testing / modifying them, starting next month any $20 patrons that joined up this month, have been in the VIP tier for at least two months will be able to get one complimentary!
I'm still testing these out so they're still WIP. For others, both in and out of patreon, their cost will be determined when they're actually ready to go.
Will be up sunday at http://www.pv02comic.com/
please just post this is my 5th time trying tonight, Patreon
Two commissions, one for MikoNoPants and one for Sheba Snow.
You can view them both in the downloads!
Also, a bonus doodle of Garter giving a BJ just cause.
A YCH purchased through email!
Do they still count as 'your character here's if they're of someone else's character?
Anyway, regular and BE version in the downloads
thank you everyone!
I'll be honest I did not expect to make such a big jump in such a short amount of time.
As for what lies ahead, I'm not 100% sure myself. :V I'm at that weird spot between projects where I'm trying to figure out what to do next. (Given the milestone I'm almost motivated to try attempting game design once again.)
Just to vomit out some ideas of stuff that I've had random ideas for:
If there's anything in particular in this list that catches your eye, comment on it!
Also unrelated, for new joins, cause there's been another wave of you: if you haven't synced up your Discord to your Patreon yet, you should do that over in account settings! This will grant you access to the Patreon discord server where you can chat directly with me and other peeps, bounce ideas around, as well as get more immediate notifications when something goes up or when I'm live.
ALSO also, I have modified the file of the animation in the drive so it is now downloadable! If you want to download the Curly Hypno animation for yourself, just head over to the drive link included in the original early-access post! (You'll just need to scroll back a few days, or browse the animation tag)
Post will be live this Sunday on http://www.pv02comic.com/!
The animation is now publicly viewable!
Check the link below to access it. You must be 18 or older to view.
Working on a few new YCHs.
They're semi bouncy and technically are gender neutral, but I wanted to show off some boob bounce :V
I'm looking for suggestions on characters to use for this for the samples. If you've been in the $20 since July, you can also suggest your own!
We have:
These'll be available as YCH commissions upon completion. For those who don't know, YCH animations are template animations that are quickly edited to be another character. Since they're easier to do than animating from scratch, they're loads cheaper than normal animation commissions, while also still being as detailed, at the expense of being completely unique.
I'm going to be streaming a few YCH animations to Youtube later. These will be SFW. It'll be live here, and will be up in a few minutes.
Additionally, for those in the $10 and up tiers, as a reminder one perk you get is to commission me at any time, even when I have commissions closed. If you're interested in getting a commission (or if you're not in these tiers and are just curious what the rates would be), you can check out the rates here. If you want to order, just shoot me a message via Patreon's messenger, or over on Discord!
(It's a google doc so I can edit it at later points and include more information. Since I don't have commissions officially open, I'm not going to make a graphic commission sheet.)
Some catgirl cumflation requested by Bryan!
These are very fetishy. To see the full images, check the downloads.

-Blaziken OC reward for Minsu
-plant girl + tentacles reward for Temperator
-Meddy.exe 'hacked' reward for Matt
There are a lot of new people here.
So, some deets about what this Patreon funds (which is also mentioned on the front page):
It's kinda a grab-bag. Some periods might be slower on production than others (e.g. this last week was VERY slow because I was finishing up the hypno animation), others might see even daily art postings. Overall, content output should average out per month.
For those who pledged specifically for the hypno vid, do note that hypnosis is kinda a slight rarity from me (though I'm not against doing it more). This is a list of other kinks you'll find here: breast expansion, large insertion, occasional hypno, tentacles, ENF, sometimes a bit of low-key transformation, and a whole lot of pinups.
Sometimes my quality is sporadic (in my opinion anyway), with one piece being amazing and then the next being less stellar by comparison, though I do share all art I make, cause I figure even if something is lesser than what I've done before, it's still worth sharing.
In conjunction with my youtube earnings, the income covers both living expenses as well as helps me pay people who I work with to produce projects (e.g. for sound design, guest art, or voice acting)
And to recap rewards you get:
$2 - high res files
-- early access to posts (usually a day to 3 days. For animations this'll be even bigger)
-- discounts on commissions (when open)
$5 - name in the credits
-- access to the 'lunchbox' channel in discord where i sometimes take requests
$10 - source files for CSP / Photoshop
--a bigger discount on commissions
-- can commission me even when commissions are closed
$20 - profile pic in the credits + VIP status
-- some source files for animation. (Toon Boom can sometimes be hard to package for big files so I can't always provide source files for it)
-- (coming soon) bi-monthly YCH animation perks
If you reach $100 in lifetime pledges you also get a complimentary request reward!
Patreon charges at the first of each month, so once you pledge, even if you only wanted to make a one-time donation, you're welcome to wait til the end of the month before withdrawing, and are able to stay without consequence.
I also have a Discord server with patreon-exclusive channels! If you're interested in joining, you need to link your Patreon and Discord accounts together. You can do that via https://www.patreon.com/settings/account under 'Connections.' This is a good place to find out when I post new stuff or when I'm streaming. I either stream to Youtube when SFW, or Picarto when NSFW.
Alright I think that's everything. I'm gonna be tackling some legacy requests later today so I'll be streaming to https://picarto.tv/Zedrin a bit later.
A new patron had just asked me this so I figured I'd make a post about it:
If you're in the $5 or up tiers and don't want to be mentioned in the credits of a particular animation, or if you have a different name you want used, don't hesitate to tell me! When I post one of the later parts WIPs, I'll also include a note to mention to say if you want to be excluded or anything changed.
I can't make a permanent list of this stuff as patrons and tiers change month to month, and I have to go off of what my 'current patreon supporters' says when making the credits and there's no easy way to export a list, but I'll make sure there's a clear, set window to bring it up when projects are nearing completion.
EDIT: Apparently there actually is a way for me to write down details on people via the Relationship Manager! So if you ever have any long term requests for credits / mention rewards, be sure to let me know so I can add it to the notes!
ALRIGHT PATRONS! The video is processed and good to go! Full juicy 1080p.
The animation is viewable here!
This'll be Patreon-exclusive for about a full week, maybe a bit more.
This is my first time doing something of this nature as well: a full length rule34 animation. Took me only about a week to fully animate from scratch, I'm getting a lot faster with Toon Boom. (Granted, audio stuff and final polish took a bit longer and bumped production to 2 weeks.)
I'm not even that into hypnosis, but it's fun to animate.
Upon full release I'll publish the animation to Twitter, Newgrounds, and Tumblr (if possible via an embed, uploading directly to tumblr is a big no-no and I've had videos removed before) as well as any other locations people suggest that are good and easy to share to.
(Truth be told I'm fine if, after public release, it winds up being shared around a bit as long as it isn't being monetized and links back to my blog or Patreon page.)
Thank you all for supporting <3 I hope to make more things like this in the future, maybe alternating between a SFW animation and a NSFW one.

This boob rub was a pain in the ass to make
but it was worth it
The animation will be fully rendered and posted soon! It'll be available to patrons a full week early (maybe even a bit more) before it'll be publicly posted!
So, I've been thinking of a few new perks for some of the upper tiers.
First up: I'm gonna make it so the $10 tier and up can commission me at any time. I periodically close out commissions when a threshold is met (monetarily or sometimes physically like exhaustion). Even when commissions are closed, Patrons of this tier will be able to still order commissions.
They still get the patreon discount on commissions, though the amount of the discount might change.
The one stipulation is these commissions might be a little slower to get done than on-season, but keep in mind that that's just slower compared to my usual 2-day-at-most completion rate. You can still expect a relatively quick turnaround. For off-season commissions, you'll need to contact me however--direct through Patreon is optimal since I can veriiy everything then and there, but email and tumblr also work so long as you make sure I can identify you on patreon as well (since people sometimes use different names.)
Perk #2 will be for the $20 VIP tier. It's currently a bit work in progress, so I'm not expecting people to flood into the tier, but every 1-3 months I plan on whipping up 2-3 fresh YCH animations. These'll be short things, and will include both NSFW and SFW. VIPs will be able to get one complimentary every other month, able to select from the current or prior month YCHs.
A YCH (your character here) is a canned animation that I prepare in advance, and then edit to be other peoples OCs or characters they want to see. When sold, they're at a much cheaper price than an original animation, due to how they're kinda 'mass produced,' but the flipside is the user gets a higher quality animation for cheap, even if it's not completely unique.
For the general, non-patron public, or as a VIP as well if you've already used your reward for the time being, any YCHs can also be ordered the same way they are now, even when I don't have general commissions open.
For VIPs interested in my current YCH's, they're listed here. If you're in the $20 tier and want to get one of the existing ones, don't hesitate to message me. (I might turn a few of the animations I used for Curly in the recent hypno thing into a YCH or two as well.)
For new patrons in the VIP tier they'll need to wait a month before they're able to choose, but for current patrons who upgrade to the tier, as long as you have at least $10 in lifetime pledges you'll be able to redeem the reward that same month.
(Also, for both of these perks, normal commission rules still apply: e.g., no bodily waste fetishes, nothing illegal, no MLP, I have a right to decline a request if I see fit, etc.)
Character animation is done! Now to get the other visual elements built like the rest of the background and the screen's UI.

this one might actually be interesting to look at.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
just practice / experimentation with digital painting.
I used to use gradient maps pretty extensively, but I think I'll stick to more direct methods in the future, just cause i've gotten more used to them.
just a quick video render.
The first little scene is mostly done, I maybe need to speed it up slightly. The rig's ready, and this is honestly the most intensive part of this animation, so the rest should go pretty quickly.
The entire thing is like 1700 frames at 12fps, so it's a full 2:20 dirty animation :V I need a good place to host it when I release the public version...
Just a quick breakdown video of the recent dance loop animation. This'll be going live next week.
Coincidentally Vidme is actually useful for something after all. I can schedule posts but have them remain as unlisted until they go live.
after some controversy with the original, I'm redoing it.

crap I completely forgot to share this here early.
I had it done Friday evening even. Sorry about that, guys. <.>
In place of that, I'm working on getting the official PV02 website up and running. If you guys want to take a look, it's right here: http://www.pv02comic.com/
I plan on announcing it officially this coming week, I need to get a few graphical elements sorted out as well as a few other layout things, as well as get the 10k followers poster ready (probably gonna make it into a shirt). This is a large part of why my output's been kinda low lately.
unrelated, I also have a secondary, NSFW twitter now for anyone interested

This is just one shot from Potion Seller. I want to know what people think works better: the original audio from the original video, or the new audio that's been recorded. The first half is the new audio, the second is the original audio.
If the voices work but the takes are just a bit off, I can have those rerecorded. For instance, Cesil's voice was rerecorded for this test as well. The original takes were too mellow.
However, what I'm interested in is whether or not people feel the voices work at all. I want them to add to the humor or at least be a suitable substitute--however, I can recognize a lot of the humor of the original potion seller came from the voice acting itself. I have biases so I can't decide objectively on this.
Don't vote based on 'you already have the audio so just use it' or anything like that. I don't care about what I have or don't have already. I only care about what gives me the best possible quality for this project.
SO, I hit 10,000 followers on PV02. I'm working on a big ol' poster in honor of that.
I'm also in the process of finally getting an independent website for PV02! The comic will be posted to both Tumblr and its official site. The site will be a much better way to introduce new people to the webcomic, as well as work much better for mobile users. (Testing it so far, the mobile browser is much nicer than tumblr's.)
Hopefully it should be up within a week. It's my first time actually designing a website like this.
If you're not on the Discord yet, you should totally go to account settings and sync your account to Discord to join up.
I have 4 animation projects currently in the pipeline that I want to do:
of these, in addition to being of interest to me, the last two are actually primed to be very profitable, so it's probably in my best interest to do them. In particular I'd like to time Undying to rerelease close to Undertale's PS4 release.
Tutorial wise, I want to host a poll soon about what to cover next. I want to make video tutorials for:
but I'm also open to suggestions of any other types of tutorials people are curious about.
In the NSFW world, I'll likely come around to finishing up the Curly Brace hypno gif soon. The drama over it being coincidentally similar to Lewd-ZKO's gif really killed off a lot of my enthusiasm over it so I wanted to stay away from it for a bit. I want to do more NSFW gifs as well but sometimes have a hard time coming up with ideas.
I'll also likely have a day or two soon where I go through the Lunchbox and take requests again.
Truth be told though, while stuff is currently moving forward of its own volition, creatively I've felt pretty down of late, so this week as a whole might be a bit slow. My motivation should pick up soon and you should see more work coming, but for now I'm devoting most of my energy to getting the website up and running, and making sure PV02 stays on track.
Just some draws from tonight.

snek memes
I've seen some pic of Miku go around a few times and it kinda got me thinking of lens distortion.
Here's Etna. Nude version included.
just some animation practice. 2 video files.
Due to lack of activity, I'm going to be combining a few rewards that are in the $5 and $10 tiers and making them available to the $5 tier.
The monthly submission form, which was for the $10 tier, is gonna be scrapped as there was only one person submitting to it at all. It doesn't make sense to maintain a reward if nobody wants it. Instead I'll have a monthly thread for the $5 and up tiers for asking for character redesigns, or for dropping requests in.
I won't draw every request submitted, but I'll probably go through and doodle a few a few times each month. At $5 it should be more accessible to people as well.
That said, as a reminder, the goal of this patreon is to fund the works and stories I'm creating, while requests are a perk and reward. I've had issues in the past on the SFS page as well as on this one where people had pledged just to get an art piece out of it, and then booked out of there once they got it, or they got mad if I didn't select their request out of the monthly drawing. If they're offered, feel free to make requests, no hesitation, but I do not want this page to operate as a commission service.
The big perk of the $10 tier will now be getting access to source files for basic drawings.
The big perks of the $5 tier will be getting included in the credits of tuts/anims, and you have access to the request threads.
(And then likewise the $20 tier will have source file access for more higher-quality pieces as well as for animations, as well as a priority slot on any tutorial/animation video credits and VIP status in discord, and the $2 tier will get access to any high-res files.)
This was interesting to do. Hope you liked the results, Fel!
I've included the result picture in the downloads of this post.

Random doodly doo for Ross's birthday O:
PROGRAM: Clip Studio Paint
For animation
So, I've had an idea for a small recurring thing, given the recent WIPs.
I want people to suggest animation ideas to me. Can be as specific as you want.
Examples for the recently done ones would be like "A Curly Brace hypno animation?" and "A Rotty Tops hentai anim to music [x]"
Anything in that realm is fair game. I'm specifically looking for suggestions that are fun to watch, or have a cute aspect mixed in with the sexy. You can also suggest 'generics' to use (e.g., you like Lamias? Just suggest using a random lamia character.)
Because this is just text I'm also gonna say you can pitch fetish specific stuff if you want. The worst that'll happen is I won't do it if it's too much.
I'll do sketches of as many as feasible, and then host a little vote to see what one(s) I should animate in full O:
And some I might turn into YCH things for future YCH commissions.
MOST of these will probably be NSFW but I might do a few SFW ones as well.
SO GET COMMENTING / SUGGESTING <3
a few animation wips.
I'm gonna do a few more then hold a vote on what to make. If anyone has any suggestions for other things as well, feel free to drop em in the comments.
The Rotty Tops one I don't really have a place to embed or share where the music will still play. It'd contain a bunch of different poses and angles.
I'm still working out how to do this so bear with me. The two popular suggestions were character redesigns and sketch streams.
So, here's how this'll work:
Consider this post to be an open forum. Here you can drop as many requests and ideas as you'd like.
If you're interested in a character redesign, you may also link your OC's design and specify some aspects that you're unsure about. E.g., maybe their outfit is too complex, maybe their color scheme doesn't feel right, maybe it's an old design that needs an interesting update, etc.
I will choose to do either a character redesign or two, or do a handful of the requests as sketches, depending on what's most popular or is more active / engaging.
If you can read this, you can participate--this is all available to any tier $5 or higher (so that includes the grandfathered request tiers as well, if you guys are interested at all).
This is all touch and go. Post a comment to participate!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Include a brief suggestion of a character and something involving them. A little bit of specificity helps! Example: instead of "my oc: <link>" try "my oc <link> making a sexy, pinup pose"
NSFW is okay! If you want to request something explicitly NSFW or SFW, be sure to specify. Otherwise I'll read it as open to interpretation.
If it is your own OC, or is from a series that I might not obviously recognize, it is mandatory to include a link to a reference image. Keep in mind these are anonymous so don't assume I know who is sending what.
You can edit you response at any time before the final results are in. I'll choose one or two of the results to draw, typically based at random.
NOTE: If you are in the $25 or $40 tier, please just message me with your request!
all CSP
a lot of what I've been working in has been animation based so I can't really share it tbh, but here's a few of the non-animated things
contains BE
Bread-eating
So, attendance for classroom streams was quite simply way too low to justify the use of the role. Since I needed topics and questions to actually do the lessons, if I didn't have comments and stuff from people in the classroom role, I had to switch to the public chat--which I wound up doing 99% of the time. Most of the interaction within the stream came from people outside of the role, just to get through the lesson, which made the role moot. That didn't seem fair to me.
Additionally, teaching live is not easy in the slightest. It's incredibly stressful and I've come to hate doing it.
So instead what I'll be doing from now on, each month I'll have a stream where one of two things happens: either a character redesign stream, or I just do sketch requests for like an hour.
In the event of a redesign stream, people in the $5+ tiers will have sent me in their characters with a brief mention of something they feel is odd--or I'd maybe choose a theme and redesign a character to fit that theme (e.g., often a style change). I'd only do one a month, and I'd choose whatever submission feels the most interesting.
If I don't get submissions, instead I'll have a thread (again, $5+ only) where people can drop in a few request ideas. I'll do a handful of them as sketches for an hour. Again these would be selected via preference, as I wouldn't be able to do every single one (I made the mistake of attempting to do that on an old patreon page of mine and I wanted to kms).
These perks are open to anyone in the $5 or higher tiers as well. Hopefully these perks feel substantial enough.
early access yay
Post version will be up on http://pv02.tumblr.com/ tomorrow
Some animation testing in Toon Boom! Comes in Gif and WebM variants, as well as lactation and non-lactation versions.
I'm starting to get a handle on TB.
woops it's a new project
the question is: will I finish it
So, to be blunt, the classroom sessions aren't working out really well. I'm not getting feedback or questions to build a lesson plan, with posts announcing an upcoming stream or requesting questions getting 0 engagement until like a day before the stream, engagement is usually only 1-2 people in streams, scheduling makes it a bit difficult for people to appear, and a lot of the engagement and questions I do get are from people not in the tier and often are on topics that have already been covered a few times.
I'm going to be doing one more class stream this month (I still don't know what yet, since I haven't gotten many requests or suggestions), but next month (unless the stream completely turns around) I'll need to look into something different and more productive.
So, I really need ideas on how to alter the tier.
Some of the options I've come up with:
Lesson complete
Carby's character Milly as a milestone reward!
Cesil got some new socks
http://zedrin-maybe.tumblr.com/post/161077290802/cesil-got-some-new-socks-also-she-made-a
wallpaper sized!
I'll be doing this month's lesson and the makeup lesson this Saturday and Sunday. If you're in the $5 or higher role, and there's something specific you want me to cover, please message me over in the classroom channel on the discord! (Or message me directly through here.)
If you're not on the Discord yet, be sure to go to Account Settings and sync your account. The bot will add you automatically to the server.
Streams will be through Twitch and will be around 3pm PST (6pm EST).
One of the streams I'm planning on making about 'how to design a robot character.'
Other stuff I've considered as well: program instruction (e.g., tricks to using flash or CSP or even now ToonBoom), how to design an X character, anatomy, perspective, static movement, animated movement, etc.
If you have any other suggestions, please bring them up!
The files are in the download! I've also added a zipped version if you'd rather download them all at once.
This was my first time doing a comic commission.
It's VERY not safe for work.
Contains: large insertion, cumflation, breast expansion, multibreast, transformation, cowgirl, lactation, some kink I don’t know how to name where a toy gets absorbed, dick growth, and technically impregnation or something like it (it can be whatever you want it to be). (I think that's everything?)
I hope I did okay. I’m not really confident in my comic drawing ability.
This was commissioned by Katzparty on tumblr, with all the kinks and the general idea of the character being the result of his requests/specifications. So he's who to thank/blame :V
sike only one of these is a trade
All save for KrowCouch.png are NSFW! Most of these are YCH's.
YCH1 is a boob bounce gif, YCH2 is a werewolf one.
I have met the goal for commission funds for buying Toon Boom! I still have 2 YCHs to finish and the comic that's on standby. After I receive the pending payment for the comic commission and have that published, I will get the program and begin work on THE NEXT BIG ANIMATION (woo)
Thank you to all who donated and commissioned to help. I have gone through roughly 44 commissions in 16 days. That's almost 3 per day.
I'm bloody exhausted.
As such, commissions are closed once again, save for YCH's which will continue to be available.
If you've been keeping up with things, 2 classroom sessions are also due. If you're on the Discord server, you can suggest things in the #classroom chat. I'm thinking I might do a character-type session, e.g. 'how to make a robot character.' I'm likely gonna do both of them next week over 2 days.
If you're in one of the request tiers, and haven't put in your request yet and had something you wanted this month, message me!
Additionally, if you're in the $10 tier, go check the character submission form post! You can put your OC in there and there's a decent chance of getting it drawn!
And a Patreon reward requested by resno
who doesn't want butt

NEW TUTORIAL
Techniques to improve your drawings in flash and make them not look like utter garbage
Recent commissions from today.
The alolan golem one is formatted for a pokemon TCG matt! It's the non-watermarked version, if anyone wants to print it.
And the other two are two kemonomimi YCH's.
Got a lot done today!
Yes, someone commissioned a model sheet of Cesil (for purposes of 3D modeling her). I offered to do it for free since she needed a new ref sheet.
I just went ahead and made it all nice as well.
It's that time again~

Some more of the commissions I've taken on! Not as many as the last batch since this is from fewer days.
All but the witch one are nsfw.
Reminder, my commission info is available here and patrons get between 5% to 25% discounts! (This also applies to YourCharacterHere commissions if anyone's interested!)
All commissions I've done so far. Sharing these privately with patrons just in case you guys were curious!
Any files with YCH are gifs.
When the last 5 commissions I have to do are completed, I'll be at around $950 of the $2000 Toon Boom goal.
Commissioned by MikoNoPants!
Commissioned by DrewsGroove!
All the information is there!
Most Toon Boom recommendations I've seen abruptly state "It is better and superior and you should switch if you animate in Flash"
I don't agree with that one-size-fits-all assessment one bit, especially considering the 'ideal' version of the program costs $2000 or about $70 a month. At that cost it better be a better program.
This video takes a relatively thorough look at what Toon Boom and Flash both can do from the perspective of a flash animator. I dedicated a LOT of time to learning Toon Boom during my way-too-short trial period, building 2 rigs in that time. Should you switch? I can definitively say "maybe."
I personally am going to (eventually), but I'm not gonna hastily say whether or not you should. Hopefully this video should help you decide for your self, however, if the price tag is worth it.
I've decided to hide the amount received per month in pledges.
I'll be more than happy to tell people the number privately, but on a public page I feel like people see any number above $300 and think 'oh that's enough to live on they're making more than enough' which isn't even remotely true. I'm just below $500 atm again, but if it weren't for leftovers from Youtube and my savings, I wouldn't be able to sustain my work.
I remember someone back in SFS once thought that we should make a sequel to a 14 minute animation because our Patreon was making $200 per project, even if we had no intention to make a sequel and we didn't want to do anything more in that fandom. For the record, usually the cheapest freelance animation goes for is around $100 per second of footage.
I kinda just want to avoid people pulling that argument on me when I'm trying to do this full time and not as supplementary work.
Got one other one done today! Request for BlueJane of Carol Tea from Freedom Planet.
Rewards for MikoNoPants, Esoteric, Minsu, and the lucky winner of the recent submission form, Carby!
Check the downloads!
My next video is rendered and scheduled! It'll be posting Wednesday. It's a thorough comparison between Toon Boom and Flash.
You may also notice that the request tiers are now hidden. Old members of the request tiers still have the old perks, but new patrons won't have access to these tiers. I'll continue to support the old tiers as long as there are members for them, but their prices were based on my commission rates a year ago.
I've instead implemented a $20 tier. I'm not 100% sure on what to do with it,
If you're still in one of the request tiers, if you want to update your request from last month (such as combine it with May's for say, multiple characters interacting) message me ASAP. Otherwise I'm gonna do what you last sent.
Additionally, for the character submission poll, I'll be selecting one of the submissions soon and doing it.
I'll be getting started on both April's requests as well as the character submission thing tomorrow. I wasn't able to start on them during April because of the Toon Boom trial occupying 100% of my time. Expect a Picarto stream tomorrow.
As soon as I get April's stuff done I'll be opening up commissions again, with the goal of $2000 to purchase Toon Boom. May's request stuff will be sometime during this month as well.
I believe I'm going to continue with my plan to use Twitch for SFW streams and Picarto for NSFW streams as well. I recently was invited to the Affiliate Program so I feel an incentive to use Twitch now.
So yeah. That's everything for now.
Last animation test before my trial's up. Testing out animating an infinitely more complex (limb-wise) character.
Conclusion? Conventional bones in Toon Boom still suck. Not as bad as Flash's, but they're still shit. The only good bones in TB are curve and shape deformers.
IKs however? They actually work well in specific scenarios. I wouldn't want them for general animation, but they made posing the legs much more manageable. And oddly enough IKs in Harmony have NOTHING to do with bones like they do in flash.
I'll have a thorough review video coming soon, and probably am gonna start raising funds to buy Toon Boom myself. Even though I plan to get it, I can't recommend it for everyone, and I'm not gonna make direct recommendations. I do feel Flash is sometimes sold short.
I've reached 10k on Tumblr
wowie!
i've attached all the full res versions and wallpaper formats. The 'full's are full res, unless marked with an S. The others are breakdowns into wallpaper format.
If you want me to isolate any characters out, either as alphas or as wallpapers, lemme know and I'll add them to the attachments.
I'm a little stressed cause I only have about 10 days left of my Toon Boom trial so I really wanna use my time well, but I still have some Patreon requests to do. They may be a bit late this month. If it bleeds into next, and you're standing by, you'll still get em all eventually.
That's part of why this month's been a bit slow on posts.
Anyway, I'm streaming atm.
https://www.twitch.tv/zedrinbot
Continuing from yesterday. Working more on a Cesil rig.
I've been doing this daily for almost a month.
A simple animation.
Truth be told, Toon Boom has yet to prove more optimal to me. I have Z axis manipulation, so I can move stuff forward and back easily, which is very nice--however, some differences in the way it handles keyframes and tweening means I have to be a lot more specific with what I do and I have to make edits at the frame itself rather than somewhere on the in between.
While this might look decent, I could literally make this exact same animation in flash in about a quarter of the time it took me. Hopefully the time gap diminishes between the two as I get better.
I have a more full write-up of some of the differences in the original post here:
http://zedrin-maybe.tumblr.com/post/159771857983/first-actual-animation-test-with-toon-boom
I'm also planning on doing a video critically comparing a wholly kitted out flash vs. everything I can understand about Toon Boom, as a kind of "should you switch?" video.
just today's update
http://pv02.tumblr.com/post/159649513472/024-updates-might-be-a-little-visually-sparse-for
I've only gotten one entrant so far! If you'd like to submit a request (such as your OC) and are in the $10 tier, be sure to put it into the form! I will select one of the submissions from the list soon.
Finally able to do things in Toonboom that I couldn't even remotely do in Flash.
Progress in ToonBoom has been less than optimal. The program does a lot of cool things, but it also does a lot of sinfully stupid ones as well.
Premium better blast my nuts off when I get to its trial for me to consider getting it at this point, cause atm Advanced looks no more functional than flash.
Unrelated, have a succubus I drew between everything.
^click for the survey^
This survey's for the $10 tier!
If you're in the $25 or $40 tier, just message me your request if you have one!

The start of a new quarter, woo
In the news: Youtube's facing trouble with advertisers as they are backing out of deals due to lack of regulation on ad placement. This appears to have affected ad rev for creators on YT. At times like this, I am VERY GLAD TO BE (mostly) OFF OF THERE.
I think I had mentioned it before but Patreon switched from being a supplementary thing to a major income source, due to YT's issues over the past few months. At this point I really need to figure out how to expand Patreon, though.
March was a really REALLY shitty month for me. Constant home renovations led to little time to work on stuff. I barely managed to get the requests for that month done, let alone any other content outside.
Things should be going back to normal now. For this month, there's also a few updates:
1- If people withdraw out of the $25 and $40 tiers, the tier won't open up to someone new. I'll keep supporting the request tiers as long as they're active.
2- I'm launching a request poll perk to $10 supporters. Instead of being a popularity vote, you're free to suggest a character + idea to a survey. I'll then select one or two of these from the list each month and make it into a pic. This should give people more of a fair chance for their OCs to appear as requests. I'll take results for 1 week after the submission box goes up early in the month.
3- This month I'ma really try to learn Toonboom. I'll stream my progress via Twitch. If I can get the program mastered, I'll see if maybe I can get an 'advanced' license, and upgrade to premium later. Both are expensive, but it'd be hugely worth it.
4- (Tentative plans for upcoming months) If I can master Toonboom, there'll probably be a commission drive up to help get it.
-I'm planning to eventually do some YourCharacterHere animated gifs for commissions, so that should be fun.
-Animation #2 for PV02 will be starting work sometime soon. (If I can learn Toonboom that'd be a great way to do it)
-I'm trying to stick to doing character design streams over on Twitch. The first one's results were fun. This week I think Ima take popular characters in media and tweak em to improve them (starting with the 2017 Mega Man)
she'll be making an appearance in PV02 before long.
She has a very slight French accent and has the ability to hover off the ground. o:
more about her personality will be revealed in future updates when she finally shows up :V

Just a random draw I did now that I finally had a moment's free time.
High res version included!
This was originally gonna be 3 pages but I cut it down to 1, pushing the other 2 back to next week.
Sorry the quality for the past few updates has been shit. .-. I haven't had enough free time to sit down and work on them as much as I would've liked.
I didn't get around to working on requests this week, so they'll have to be this upcoming one.
I'm gonna try streaming weekly when there's not a lesson plan going up. https://www.twitch.tv/zedrinbot
These were the results of today's character design stream! black-mage-imp-robot, dryad werewolf, and NEET centaur
Do not feel like you have an obligation to support me.
If you don't feel like you want to support my Patreon, because you suddenly don't like me, you can't support, you feel the rewards aren't that worthwhile, or you just want to scale back your tier, whatever reason, there is no shame and no animosity if you act accordingly. You should act accordingly. I'm not going to guilt trip you or attack you for modifying your pledge. You don't have to explain yourself if you don't want to.
If you're supporting my Patreon, I want it to be because you like my work and want me to be able to produce more original content.
That is the goal of this patreon: helping build content.
That considered, it also bears repeating: I do not want Patreon to operate as a commission service as well. Request rewards are a perk, not a purpose. I'm fine with offering rewards, but this fact should be kept in mind. (The tiers for these rewards has been grandfathered in since 2015--my commission rates for equivalent pieces have actually increased since then.)
And yes, things have shifted strenuously in the past few months. Patreon has gone from being an auxiliary income source for me to a major one, considering my other primary source (Youtube) has become heavily crippled. I have done my best to keep y'all updated on this where I can.
Aiight, so you might've noticed there was no popularity poll this month.
What I'm going to do is start doing monthly raffles. These are raffles you have to sign up for, however, so they should still be good by Patreon.
In these raffles, you'll suggest something to draw--it's the IDEAS that get selected, not the people.
This should hopefully give some new things a bit more spotlight.
I'm also gradually going to be phasing down on request tiers. If people drop into a lower tier, or they remove their pledge, I'm going to reduce the limit.
I'll probably start with 3 slots for the raffle. Hopefully this feels more interesting and rewarding for everyone. (;゙°´ω°´)
As for the remaining monthly requests, I'll be working on them this week.
Still no real semblence of regularity for me so stress has been high. There's still contractors coming by to work (STILL) but at least we have working sinks again.
OH ALSO I'm gonna try and stream weekly to twitch as well. Probably will be on Thursdays, or maybe Fridays, save on weeks where there's a lesson. These'll be short, regular streams where basically people in chat toss a prompt at me, and I design a character based on the prompt!
That should be fun. °+(*´∀`)b°+°
(know what's not fun though?
taxes (,,#゚Д゚) )
Lesson #3 is live!
I'll be switching over to Twitch for live lessons, as through there I can record and export videos still.
https://www.twitch.tv/zedrinbot
Expect the lesson to start around 4pm pst, though it may be later because GUESS WHO HAS CONTRACTORS COMING OVER
AGAIN
I AM SO SICK OF CONTRACTORS THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR 4 WEEKS
but yeah expect it around 4pm pst earliest. That's pacific time. I'll post an update if this changes.
The topic this month is character design! If you have specific questions, character feedback, or whatnot that you want to share, if you're in the $5 or higher tiers either message me directly or post over in #classroom in the discord server.
And as a reminder, you'll get an invite to the server once you've synced you're account to Discord! https://www.patreon.com/settings/account
3/18/17
Probably will be around 3 or 4 PST.
The focus will be character-design based stuff, so if you're in the $5 tier or higher, send me topics and questions pertaining to character design that you want me to cover, or hop over on the Discord server and post them in the classroom!
Reward for Minsu of Patty Wagon!
Wallpaper formatted at that.
Patreon reward for Miko of his new moth character!
GLADYS IS BACK

It's another month, yay.
Just a routine reminder: if you're not in the Discord server yet, send me an ask and I'll give you an invite! The bot should've added you if you synced up your account in account settings , however.
I had to close out commissions earlier than I intended due to stress, however I'll keep commissions open to patrons.
PV02 will be getting an information bomb soon (like literally in a few days).
As far as rewards go, I'll be sending out messages soon for redeeming them. As a reminder, if you're in the $25 and $40 tiers, you can store up to 1 month's extra request if you wanted to get something more intricate or detailed or simply forgot to/couldn't think of anything for that month. I can't do extended carry-overs just cause the tiers are already below my standard commission rates, and I don't want to get bombarded with a super major request or multiple.
I'm also trying to think of something to replace the popularity poll. It's just not working out how I had hoped, and I don't want the votes to dictate me drawing the same 3 characters over and over again, when I'd normally draw them regardless. That doesn't feel like a reward.
So what I may do instead would be an opt-in selection, available to the $10+ tiers. You can drop your own character into a form, and then I'll randomly select one to do.
Cause, OCs had no fighting chance in the monthly polls, and that wasn't fair.
For student streams, I'm going to start decreeing a stable theme. Last time the topics covered were all completely unrelated to one another. If you're in the $5 or higher tier, start thinking of a general area you want me to cover, and then specifics inside that area. E.g., "character design," and then stuff like "body types" or "stylizing" or "color theory." Or maybe something more like "how to progress as an artist" and then things like "gesturing, efficiency, anatomy, how to decide what to focus on" etc.
And lastly at the moment I am working on an animation test for a job. If I get it it'd be contract work, not employee work, but still. So wish me luck there.

Go vote!
Basically, something with either my internet or Youtube's servers decided to take a royal shit. Might've been due to the weather.
As a result I wasn't able to stream.
I'm gonna try and reschedule for Sunday (tomorrow) around noon/afternoon.
Come watch!
Planning around 3pm pacific time.
If you're in the student tier or higher, and you're not in the Discord, message me for a link! The Discord channel is used to direct the questions.
Official link will be going up tomorrow.
If you wanna toss your OC into the mix, feel free, just include a ref image.
Commissioned work.
Not crazy about tickling but I like how this came out.
short update this week
Reward requested by everyone's favorite Emre-fucker :V
Unrelated: If you submitted anything to the recent poll (post before this one), remember they are anonymous! If including an OC or anything, make sure it has a reference!
Taking nominations for the next poll!
I want to try and prioritize characters other than my own, so feel free to toss your own OCs into the mix!
Socket was the last poll winner, and was also requested as a reward by Megabolt so I combined the two and did a bunch of outfits

Thanks for your guys' support again!
So, OVERRIDE is finally released! Go watch if you haven't!
I still need to get around to doing a lewd of Socket for the popularity poll, and get the next poll up and running. I have a bit of art to to catch up on since starting Override.
Since it's a new month as well, I'll also be sending out messages to the request tiers! Remember, if you want to hold over a request for a month, you can combine it into the next now! (For instance if you want 2 characters, or something more complicated, etc.)
I potentially am gonna start releasing monthly shorts. I want to try to, anyway. Additionally I need to spruce up my patreon banner/description.
I'm likely going to be reopening commissions officially soon as well. Patrons can still commission me during off-periods.
I'm also thinking of implementing a new tag, like 'patron information' to help archive posts for updating at later periods. E.g., a place to post images to use for icons if you're in one of the VIP tiers that you can easily find and update as need be. There were a few small icon hiccups with the recent vid--nothing too major, but it's something I should've prepared for way in advance instead of 2 days before the release.
You might also notice that the pledges have dropped below the $500 milestone. Don't worry too much about that--this happens every month, largely due to delays or declines on pledges. There's always 1-2 patrons who have a few issues, and their pledge will go through once they get things resolved.
And if you're in this category, don't sweat it too much. Its your your money--pledge only if you want to and are able to. If you're having trouble with your pledge, or even with your finances, worry about getting yourself squared away before worrying about me.
just a random stocking draw unrelated to recent events
decided to do the lineart differently. It's not directly visible in the end result, but essentially the outline has its own outline as well, which allows me to vary the line thickness much more dramatically.
I've attached the lineart if you're curious at all as well.
If you want early access, message me either through here or via Discord if you're on the server!
It's set to air Thursday at 1pm mountain time.
This is something I've wanted to make for years now. Not just this animation, but actually proceeding to flesh out a story like this in its entirety.
This wouldn't've been possible to make without your guys' support. Thank you all <3
As for Pivot, she'll be okay.
I'm gonna be grabbing names today for the upcoming video! Be sure to message me asap if you want a different display name than what's on your Patreon.
For $25 and up tiers, also message me what you want to use as your icon!
full release coming thursday~
So I haven't had a huge direct output lately, and if you haven't been in the Discord chat, this is why.
Progress on the next update for PV02 is coming along! This'll be fully animated, clocking in around 1:30. Don't open the attachments if you don't want to be spoiled!
If I can't have it fully ready by this weekend (most likely case) I'm gonna post the first sequence only as a little teaser trailer. Then I'll post the full thing in the middle of next week.
If you're in the Discord chat, I've also been posting pretty much daily updates and WIPs on progress there. (If you need an invite to the chat, message me!)
I still have one more segment to complete (1004 frames in total), backgrounds, and the credits pages. This so far has shaped up to be the most visually impressive animation I've made to date, and it's liberating to work on my own stuff in full again like this (and actually have a vision that I want and am able to realize). I wouldn't be able to keep working on this (and on PV02 in general) without all your guys' support.
My friend Rawgreen is working on a soundtrack for the animation, and my friend Strelok is helping with audio. Both are insanely good at what they do and will bring a level of polish to the final product.
Also, little teaser, there might be a small amount of voice acting in this~
This is also going to be the biggest turning point with Pivot's story, with everything up to now setting this all in motion. The real story starts now.
just a doodle in between working on animation
Which btw if you're in the Discord I often link WIPs of that there! Since they're swfs I can't conveniently embed them into Patreon posts.
Hopefully should be ready in time for the next update, though if worst comes to worst I'll split it into 2 parts, kinda to get a teaser out on Sunday then the rest up on the following Wednesday.
First live lesson went well! You can watch it here.
Pre-class in session!
Gonna start at the top of the hour
Just a reminder, the Art Lesson stream will be tomorrow at 2pm PST!
If you're not on the Discord yet and are in a $5 or higher tier, join up (message me if you need an invite) so you can participate!
next update's gonna be fuuuuun :^)
either next update or the one after that will be big~ (and animated)
should I include 'shitposts' as a thing I'm creating?
forgot to share these
This time it's between Kit, Gladys, Socket, Adriane the Mawile, Micro the robot, Spider Shantae, and Midna.
Keep in mind you can go back and edit your response if you have any second thoughts or get more ideas in any of the write-in categories!
(I might start doing 2 of these a month actually.)
I just drafted this tonight, it's about 2-3 weeks out before it'll be fully finished and revealed.
You can nominate up to 3 characters. Please include refs for any OCs of your own (or of anyone else's).
Alright all, some big news.
I've polished up my front page a bit, particularly the rewards to make them clearer and more consistent, AND add in a new tier + reward!
CHANGELOG.TXT
FUCK YOU 2017 YOU'RE GOING TO BE GOOD EVEN IF IT KILLS US ALL COLLECTIVELY (or even just me)
3 more rewards!
Click pressed up against the glass, requested by Minsu
and Pivot doin some anal, requested by Tyler!
More later tonight after fud
yeeee
note you may need to click the link for it to play, dunno if the video player supports drive posts.
switching to a weekly model has allowed me to devote more time to updates and other things in between.
I'll probably also be streaming Sunday and working on patreon requests, as well as some tier flair if I have time. I wanna polish up the patreon.
Also might be implementing the 'student' role soon.
I talk about porn
Bunnysuit Pivot
yeeeee
Pivot was the winner of the vote.
That said, people voted for something a bit more NSFW so i'll probably be doing a few NSFW draws later this month.
God update 10 was a pain in the ass
One thing I want to do is make some kind of middleground tier between the $2 and $10 ones, like maybe a $5 tier. Raffles would be a nice choice but those are restricted against Patreon's ToS.
So a few things I had ideas for:
The thing with the schooling thing is that it'd require some scheduling arrangements and it'd need to happen at the same time each month.
All these perks would be available to all higher tiers as well, naturally. What do y'all think? Any suggestions or opinions?
Unrelated I'm gonna be overhauling my Patreon page visually in this coming month.
One other final thing I've been thinking of doing was using the messager to distribute the high-res images and source files instead of storing them on Patreon. This would just be to prevent people freebooting them to leak sites.
I'm admittedly at less of a risk as most my stuff is already free to access anyway, but it'd be kinda scummy if someone took my high res files and started printing things for resale.
Commissioned by MikoNoPants, also my final commission of the year
Pivot cosplaying Cassi.
it's a very revealing cosplay
monthly request for Temperator
i know nothing about Persona
this was a commission by Owl that I decided to run with and turn into a print.
Socket and Vix doubleteaming Pivot. :y hawt
Another commission for Miko!
Also a commission of XJ9 that I'll share here cause it's fanart rather than an OC. But uh, fair warning. Contains futa and absurd proportions just shy of hyper.
forgot to post this here
Source file for the Cesil drawing
ALSO! The poll for nominating characters for the next vote is here!
IMPORTANT: If nominating your own character, be sure to include ONE picture of them in the form of an Imgur link (or similar image hosting service). If they're selected, I'll use this image for their spot on the poll. However, forgetting to do so means I can't use them for the next vote.
The winning votes came up as a tie between Cesil and Roll, and Cesil won based on the feedback in Discord!
I'll be putting up the nomination poll now, so keep an eye up if you're in the $10 tier or higher to nominate characters you want!
winner of the vote is Cesil!
Have a WIP.
The next poll will be going up next week!
I'm reopening commissions in a new format. As usual, Patrons get a bit of preferential treatment.
Cause this is flexible pricing, there’s no direct discount for Patreon supporters this time around. Instead if you're a Patron I bump up the quality level and time spent a bit! So while someone might get a flat color image for $25, a patron might get it fully shaded.
this is late cause Flash was being a bitch, but you guys can look at it now :V It'll be public tomorrow.
I'm gonna be making an Axle rig this week as well. Yay.
Miko requested some holiday-themed of his Cassi, and Minsu requested some lewds of EMRE!
Available in the downloads.
If you're in a reward tier, don't hesitate to send me a message for your request!
since youtube kinda up and screwed over my studio channel I'm going to be devoting a lot more time to this patreon in particular as well as personal projects.
On the SFW side, I've already gotten back on track doing routine updates to PV02, starting with a new story arc, and it's going smoothly thus far. I'm updating every Sunday and Wednesday.
I've got plans fleshed out for a short film I want to make, and I'm gonna start preparing assets for that before the month's out. I hit that goal a while back but hadn't been able to think of anything to produce.
On the more general side, commissions will be reopening soon, and I've got a few requests to get through this weekend.
I'll soon be returning to the Socket Strip flash. I don't 100% know what I want to do with it, whether I make it point-and click to progress, just a smooth animation, make it an interactive game, or just make it a general and simple 'click this button to move to the next scene/loop' thing. I'm probably leaning to the last one cause it'll be easiest.
I'll also be making a video detailing this patreon, as well as polishing it up and making it look nicer.
Additionally, for the December vote, it is currently tied between Roll and Cesil! I'm sure everyone who's intended to vote has already done so, so I'll be polling people in the Discord server about which character I should do! You can join the Discord server here: https://discord.gg/Pc6dnv7

Attached: the Curly Brace source file, the ref image I created in Design Doll, and the files for the large insertion image of Zee (both CSP and FLA)

3-image sequence, with a cream'd variant of phases 2 and 3.
BONUS HOWEVER! It's also in gif form as a milestone reward for Bryan!
Since I've been using flash for my blog updates, I decided to get my flash rig up to speed.
This one is much better organized and consolidated, with a few errors touched up.

Thanks for the support this month, guys (it's extra appreciated this month, thanks to Youtube completely crashing on me.)
I'll be collecting requests from the 25 and 40 tiers soon, and posting the suggestion poll to the 10 tier!
The character poll will be closing soon, if you haven't participated, go do that! As a reminder, the vote is here! I'll be getting around to this soon.
I'm going to also be devoting a lot more time in the next few months to patreon content and flashes. If anyone has ideas for general rewards to offer patrons, I'd appreciate any feedback! (I may opt to use an external site to do raffles again. I think that'd be fine if it wasn't directly through Patreon.)
Also, join the Discord server! You can also join by syncing your Discord and Patreon accounts in your account settings on Patreon!
Stocking! Wallpaper formats included (3 = nude, 2 = seethrough, 1 = clothed. For the standalone images this is reversed.)
she's on the fence about dicks
and on a dick
have you joined the Discord server? it's fun times for all~ (and is also currently really inactive c'mon guys don't be shy)
it's a door
Reinitializing...
So, one major change is that character polls are now open to all patrons!
You're able to vote for any characters shown that you are interested in seeing a print or work of, as well as a 'lewd level,' just to gauge what degree of content people seem to be interested in. You can vote for multiple options in each category!
I'm going to try and limit the number of options so I get a more concentrated selection. This month is just 5 options.
$10+ supporters can also suggest characters for upcoming polls, including their own!
If a character was selected the month prior they won't appear in the poll as well, but recent suggestions may stick around an extra month or so.
*Tangentially related: If you are in the $25 or higher tiers, this weekend will be the last chance to get your request in!*
Monthly request for MikoNoPants!
Finally getting around to tackling this month's.
just a few doodles.
Kit patreon request (request was just 'catgirls')
And a doodle of Pivot for warmup
Just a tutorial and explanation of some techniques that I've seen some people shy away from out of exaggerated fears.
Tracing is bad, but don't let the existance of tracing bar you from other learning tools.
(Unrelated, Patreon got a snazzy new interface update over the weekend o3o this post creator is a lot slicker now, and loads way faster)
almost forgot to post these.
Free for public vieweing!
Works in version CS5 and up.
More tweaking to monthly polls. I'll get this right eventually.
I want to run these changes by you guys first as well as take any suggestions before launching the next popular vote poll.
that's probably the most detailed vagina I've ever drawn
Have some Pivot! Requested by monthly poll.
isabelle and an angry shortstack gardevoir
one single line alternates that last one between safe and NSFW
Simple tutorial covering methods for lipsynching in flash/adobe animate.
Next week I'll be publishing a video on how to approach lipsynching and how to better match mouths and stuff, and some principles to greatly simplify work flow.
So I'm in a pretty severe rut at the moment. I've been incredibly stressed and disappointed with my own work as well as the limited success of stuff I've helped work on lately, and most of my motivation and inspiration has been completely vacant.
Psychologically creative aspects run in cycles. Your mood, your ability to perceive art, your ability to make art, your motivation, your inspiration, etc. They're not ever stable, they fluctuate. So while I feel down, I at least know it's not permanent.
But either way I'm at a rut where my motivation, inspiration, and mood are all at incredibly low points. I also know my ability and perception is at a stable point for the time being.
And, I think I've gotten to the point where I can get out of the emotional rut I'm in as well. I need to do something more spontaneous, preferably a video or something similar.
A few things I've had ideas for:
For the video based stuff, I want to try and amp up what I do as well. Youtube channels honestly don't flourish from just quality videos--they flourish from personality. A topical, high quality video will get hits, but the channel won't succeed from that alone. My personal channel has the opportunity to be more... well, personal. I feel like it's an untapped resource at the moment.
so yeah, that's about what my plans are for the time being. i know my output's been less than optimal lately.
rude
check the downloads
just a random animatic.
no idea if I'll ever finish this but here it is
Vote here!
https://goo.gl/forms/SD7LT5JNwOkTlDq83
Changed up the format a little to make it more straightforward
2 source files, 1 of Kit, 1 of Cesil hanging.
stream recording, live lesson, discussing monster girl anatomy :V
how 2 spider
I constantly feel like, while I have the motivation to draw or animate, I don't have something to do so with, so I figure this'll be a good idea.
This is kinda just an open call. If there's anything you want to see or think would be cool or good, post it in the comments.
There's no restrictions on what to suggest. It can be anything from a simple idea for a sketch or request (even just commenting a character's name), to an animation suggestion or even a script prompt for a comic or cartoon. You can post as many times as you want, you can suggest things that are as SFW or NSFW as you want. Pretty much anything goes.
I won't use every idea suggested here, though I might rework a suggestion or two into something different and do that.
So yeah go nuts :V
Woo, new interactive flash!
Little sloppy this time, I'm kinda getting tired of working in flash. Probably gonna start saving for Toonboom soon since my rent will be going down after the move.
Anyway, you can play this via download or by going here
It's pretty simple. Press the arrow to go to the next phase, and the dong to climax according to the phase you're currently in.
Gifs available in the downloads!
Program: CSP
Monthly request by Minsu! (of course it'd be Minsu--your new name should be EMRE-fucker >:V)
Kinda a 2-parter. Zee won the vote, meanwhile one of the requesters wanted to see something with catgirls, so I kinda decided to combine the two and compound them into one bigger thing :V
Also i guess here's an official picture of Kit, finally. she's got booty.
Comes in 4 variants + a full size and a wallpaper size. There's panties, no panties, minimalistic and normal. The minimalistic ones are the only ones remotely SFW : P
Comic dub is now posted publicly!
orchestrated a dub of the recent comic
will be posted publicly on Thursday!
I am not obligated to your patronage. If you can't afford to be a patron, don't worry about how I'll respond to you modifying your pledge. Put your own life and needs first.
I'm not phased by getting declines or when people scale back their pledges--it's totally normal and comes with the territory. I feel that worrying about the specifics is missing the big picture, and the big picture is that this Patreon page has still gotten further than I ever could've hoped for and for that I'm eternally grateful. (Managed to get this far without any paywalls, aside from things like source files!)
If you need to adjust or withdraw your pledge for a particular reason you don't mind telling me, by all means share as well. You can be as blunt as possible even--whether it's from just not being able to afford it, to my content output not being high enough, etc.. That kind of feedback helps. But don't feel bad if you need to alter your pledge, especially in the case of personal life issues.
Hey guys, things are gonna be a little slow this month. My mom just sold our house so I'll be relocating soon. I'm not gonna take on any new commissions for the time being.
I'll still take care of monthly requests and all as normal, and I'll be fulfilling the 10-tier poll results, however I think it might be best to bump down the number of polls to one a month. Gonna probably be somethin porny involving Zee.
This move's all kinda frustrating cause October is generally pretty busy for me art wise, cause it's monster girl and cosplay/costume month.
come to the patreon page if you want an asskicking
also some other doodles
This might be a little sloppy but it's the best I can do. (I would've liked to have a true grid that you could've just filled in any cross-sections you liked, with multiple options per row)
So, choose what you mostwant to see for each character. You can leave a row blank if you're not interested in that character at all.
Because some characters I prefer to avoid certain topics, content is kept more broad.
Hardcore vanilla stuff might be normal yuri, oral, classic penetration, etc.
A character voted for with a 'tame' fetish might receive things ranging from like hypnosis, breast expansion, lactation.
A more 'hardcore' fetish might be large insertion stuff, oviposition,futa, etc.
The ultimate result will be decided based upon your votes, and will be a nice print.
Get out there and vote 2016 depends on you
a silly comic I made
just a series of doodles of mine and friends' ocs
Hey guys, gonna put up a poll soon for something to make.
Pretty simple how this will work: Suggest any characters you would maybe want to see drawn, as well as some kind of action or theme. I'll compile them up later this week and put them into a poll for people to vote on.
There's no restrictions on who or what you can nominate, so you can even suggest your own OCs, though it will come down to a public vote! Your nominations can also be as tame or as kinky as you like.
So, Patreon and Discord now have official integration with one another, which is tight. O:
I maaaaaay make the server a bit more open, depending on how things play out, just to get a bit more activity there. The Patreon bot can auto-assign patrons to give them access to certain parts of the server.
If you're not on the server yet, head over to youraccount settingsand sync things there. The Patreon bot will automatically assign the appropriate roles to users.
Patreon reward for Minsu! (happy birthday mang)
Requests for Miko and Adrien! They're available in the downloads below.
ALSO OF NOTE:
I recently had a poll regarding an alternate $10+ reward tier. There was a signficant majority who voted for twice-monthly request streams--however given the turnout this one had, and how much others have had in the past, I'm going to switch to just doing polls with nomination options. This'll allow me to focus more on pieces and give me more control over what I produce instead of limiting myself to sketches. They'll stand out more and I feel should give more people a chance to voice something they'd like to see.
Plus, not much point in having a request stream if only 1 or 2 people show up to request anything. <.>
The first poll will be up before the 23rd!
(And another reminder, if you're in the $25 or $50 tiers, send me a message if you wanted to request anything!)
Also, always be sure to check the stream key int he post itself, rather than just through email. Patreon's very fickle with keys--if I stop streaming and restart it changes the key I'm using, invalidating the last one.
And even then it looks like keys are being fucknuggets atm so whatever
no keys, public stream (but limited to patreon only requests)
so hop on in
Stream will be starting soon!
You can get access here:
https://picarto.tv/Zedrin/a829a32ec1e1144f554218a5a3364fc6
This is a private request stream, and is nearly anything goes, so if you want doodles of your OCs or whatnot, bring refs! NSFW is acceptable, the only thing not allowed would be certain fetishes I'll never draw (e.g., feet fetishes, vomit/scat, etc.)
You'll need to use the link above to get access--it's a private stream key.
Program: Clip Studio Paint
It's late. No idea how good my focus is. I feel like I might've made some errors.
If anyone notices anything lemme know and I'll fix it up before posting it publicly tomorrow
Hey guys, based on votes most people wanted a request stream. I'll be planning them on the 9th and the 23rd! They'll run for a bit over an hour each and will be exclusive to the $10+ tiers (with a priority on the $10 tier requests).
They'll probably start around 4pm PST, I'll update if there's any time changes.
source files for Booty and the pic of Doe
source file is for Clip Studio Paint.
Just a few sketches.
Also look! Hivemind finally appears.
Decided to format this old pic to wallpaper size.
Coincidentally it's a year old today :V It's still one of my favorites of Cesil.
Butt wiggle gif and a few sketches of the same character.
Don't have a name for her yet. She's kinda got a similar build to Pivot.
Request prompt by Bryan, who wanted to see more of Zee. Decided to bump it up a little cause I haven't drawn her in ages. :V
Not a super solid idea, it's vague, but I do have an option present.I need your guys help though figuring out what to do from here.
Basically, I've been wanting to make a music video for a long time, however my music options get clusterfucked because A) copyright issues, or B) it's royalty free but nobody recognizes the song and it sounds very generic
Monstercat however allows licenses to be purchased for songs. I wouldn't need to get the license til the song's complete, but they have a huge library, and a lot of it would be recognizable.
So, if you guys know any songs that are on Monstercat that'd make for a good MV, feel free to make suggestions or link them below. (Alternatively if you know any songs that are already royalty free or I could easily get a license to, feel free to mention them.)
As for the topic of the music video, I'm not 100% set on anything and am open to suggestions as well. I've thought about maybe doing a fight/brawl thing, maybe something with a bit more story to it, etc. Likely would use Pivot, but I wouldn't be opposed to making some new characters to use or going in a different direction.
Month's a bit over halfway through! If you're in one of the request tiers and you have a request you wanted to make but haven't yet, feel free to message me!
meanwhile I'm gonna try and figure out what to draw this evening
I'm gonna be making a change to the $10 tier, and I want to know what you guys would be interested in. This'll be replacing the monthly sketch requests, since they've kinda been limited in redemption rate.
Streams, if selected, would be about 1 hour long at set times each month. There'd likely be 2 of them a month, though I might do 4 depending on their popularity. The only limit to the number of requests would be time, and it'd be exclusive to $10 patrons and up.
Community votes instead would be regularly scheduled projects and prints that would be nominated and voted on by you guys. They'd be full color prints or even sometimes things like gifs, on top of anything else I'm working on.
I'm leaning more to the vote idea but if enough people want streams instead I can go with that.
This is a feature that I had wanted for a long time. I had suggested it months back, no idea if that was at all a contributing factor, but I'm ecstatic.
Basically, I'll be able to tag posts now, and you can subscribe to specific tags. The biggest advantage of this, like my art, but don't care for NSFW? You sort and view my posts to filter to exactly what you want to see.
Some tags I'll use:
Everything content based will have a 'nsfw' and/or 'sfw' tag, depending on what's available.
I'll likely just tag content type ('robot girl', 'monster girl', as well as 'announcement' or 'poll.')
If there's anything anyone wants me to specifically tag, don't hesitate to suggest or request it. It works pretty much just like on Tumblr.
I really felt like drawing Curly Brace so I indulged myself.
Nude/transparent versions in the downloads!
ALSO SOMETHING COOL AND NEW AND SEPARATE FROM THIS! Patreon now allows for 'tags' on posts, and I'm in the beta for this feature!
If you don't care much for NSFW, or you're only interested in my art posts and not any announcements, or whatnot, you can subscribe to a tag I use to filter what you get notifications for. This is the perfect solution to the whole debate over NSFW/SFW patreons that I had mentioned last week. Cool : D
I'll make a more formal post about this momentarily and list off what tags I plan to use.
Alrighty, think I know what changes I want to make starting next month. It's just to the $10 tier.
First up, gonna start publishing the .clip files for any major works and prints for anyone $10 and higher.
To replace the sketch requests, I have 2 ideas, and I wanna know which one you guys would prefer.
1st up, would just be 2 (or maybe 4) private livestreams each month, exclusive to $10 and up. You can request anything here (within reason), they'll be mostly sketches, and streams would go for an hour each.
Alternatively I could do a weekly or bi-weekly poll, where people collectively vote on a print they want to see, and in the comments they can nominate ideas for the next poll.
Which would you guys prefer?
Patreon request for Migbird!
Pivot cosplaying the Medabot Brass.
Here's the project files for any non-commissioned work that's been done recently. Includes the files for the recent Socket piece, as well as the recent XJ9.
You can open them in Clip Studio Paint! If people would rather I make a photoshop format, I can do that, just comment your preference below, though note not all filters will translate from CSP to PS.
Wow I really need to update my patreon page. Get some artwork and icons and a new banner and all that.
So,t here's 2 things to discuss:
First up, I've been debating making a second Patreon, just for my SFW stuff. I know there's people who want to support my non-lewd art and stuff as well, or they're uncomfortable with NSFW. I really wish Patreon let you manage multiple pages from one account.
The other thing is I'm gonna introduce a new tier for around $5 to $7, and start posting source file downloads again. I also will be scaling back a bit on personalized rewards, and for this I really need feedback. One option for the $10 tier is to switch over to a 'request stream,' a private stream for an hour or two maybe twice a month at a set time.
I've said time and time again that I don't want my patreon to act as a commission service. I'm fine with doing art as rewards, but I just want to make sure the focus is on my content, not the rewards.
These will all be implemented by next month, so everything will carry on as normal for now, but feel free to leave your thoughts.
Timelapse of the Socket piece!
You can download to view or click this link:
http://puu.sh/qmIUn/9bb406e7a0.swf
use the arrow buttons to cycle through frames.
The pollresults had Socket win over Pivot by a single vote (9 to 8), but the winning categories were 'vanilla' and 'yuri,' so I figured a striptease + simple stuff of the two would work well, with a bit more focus on Socket. (Additionally, Socket is strictly gay, so I kinda needed to either have it be a solo animation, or have her pair with another girl. Not gonna stick a regular dick in her.)
The first phase will just involve you clicking to progress the strip. Alternatively I could make it into a minigame (e.g., click certain targets fast enough to progress). Once you get through the strip, you can switch between 3 different scenes, with a 4th scene being just an 'end' page.
So yeah, gay robots, I'm open to feedback and ideas. This is shaping up to be very complicated, about a month of work, so I'm more looking to see if anything should be changed, not added.
However, I might add in a few secrets for patreon supporters, if anyone has any requests or ideas there. (E.g., alternate skins, or secret sequences).
I'm still fine with doing a number of requests monthly, and definitely will keep doing milestone rewards, but what are some alternative rewards people would like to see instead, maybe?
Some ideas:
-Major print/pinup poll with limited voters-Source files (I haven't done this cause I use CSP mostly but I can if people would be interested)-uh...idunno. i need ideas.
This won't be implemented until after the upcoming month, mind you.
and lastly Cesil with my friend Siebe's scorpian girl because arachnids + yuri
and here's a silly little monthly request for Randyn
Request reward for Andrew!
Pretty happy with howt his came out
Just a small heads up, especially to the upper tier supporters: The $50 tier has been scaled back to $40 to be a bit more in-line with the rewards it has.
You can scale back your pledges if you want, or leave em where they're at. up to you!
I'm going to start working on the next hentai game soon, as soon as I finish these last two commissions. There might be one more poll for that.
If you're in the $10 tier or higher and you haven't claimed a reward yet, time's running out! Be sure to shoot me a message if you're interested in anything apropos to your tier o3o
So, pay-up-front is now available. Basically, when activated, a patron will be charged immediately, rather than at the next cycle. This means they'd get their rewards right away (or as soon as I can manage). It also gives immediate access to any content and posts, rather than having to wait til your payment's approved.
So, what I want to know is--if my account had been 'pay up front' at the time you pledged, would it have influenced your decision to become a patron? Would you have preferred it, or would it have been viewed as an inconvenience?
It's important to note that switching to PUF doesn't affect any current patrons, it'll only affect future ones, and hopefully add a barrier for bots. Additionally, if I switch to PUF, I may have to set a limitation near the end of the month for new patrons, just so I don't get double the amount of requests immediately.
Looking for feedback to figure out which character should be animated, what should go on in the flash, and how the flash should function!
Just a reminder, if you're in the $10, $25, or $50 tiers, send me a message with details about your reward!
$10 - single character sketch request
$25 - single character flat color request
$50 - single character shaded request, or 2 simpler requests (e.g., 2-character flat color, etc., depends on complexity)
Also, if you reach over $100 in lifetime/long term pledges, you also get a bonus request that you can even combine with your monthly reward, should you like. I'll try to contact you directly if you pass this mark but if I fail to don't hesitate to message me yourself!
Very nsfw commission for Omegaresnovae! (Download to view)
Fucking Patreon decided it wasn't important enough to include a link to the survey itself.
If you've submitted a response with only 3 options visible, please edit your response if it changed at all.
Trying to figure out what I should focus on for my next major project, so because I'm an indecisive walnut I'm looking for your guys' feedback. O:
You can pick up to 2 options. There'll be a second poll if necessary to help figure out the content of the project selected (e.g., which characters it involves, etc.)
(Note on the animated short: I do have an animation promised in my rewards (and there will be one ultimately) but it's included in here to see if it's something I should prioritize. I want to work on what people are going to be most interested in.)
Patreon request by Andrew!
tbh i've never drawn genderbent stuff before :V
The requests so far! Just a reminder, if you're in a tier for a reward, send me a message to get one!
-note that all these save for Sprixle's are nsfw-
Alrighty, I've begun sending out the request messages! If you're in the $10, $25, or $50 tiers feel free to message me! (Note, you'll need to make sure your pledge has processed first.) I'll be working on those throughout the month in between commission work.
And remember, all patrons of any tier also get 33% off any commission they request! I've got commissions open currently.(I really should make a flash version of my commission rates just so it's a bit simpler.)
Also, I'm thinking of doing a poll for the next 'big project thingy,' 2 actually, first one to determine the type of content (e.g., hentai game, art print, animation, etc.) and 2nd to determine the topic or characters in it. If you have suggestions, feel free to add them to the comments below!
Also, remember, there's a Discord server for patrons!https://discord.gg/nhjft
Thanks again for your guys' support this month!
I'll be going through and getting the requests n stuff sorted out soon. I've been fairly productive tackling commission work lately. With a combination of Patreon, commissions, and a good month on Youtube I'm hopefully gonna be able to upgrade a few parts on my rig soon. Should make streaming run even better.
The massive bot issue has been taken care of as well, so that's a plus : D
commissioned by theblunderingwriter! he wanted Call E and Pivot doing something lewd.
commissioned work!
You can see all information at the link above!
Reminder! Patreons get 33% off all commissions, and 50% off if it's of one of my characters!

Finally finished. This goes over how to make a rig for flash.
If you wanna see the timelapse (7.5 hours worth of footage) you can check it out here as well:https://youtu.be/dahjHEKmGmw
Relay - a comms bot, similar to Pivot. She's specialized in communication and has jets in her feet and her hair, allowing her to jump and even fly to a degree. (Pivot's comms functions meanwhile serve an ulterior motive that'll be revealed way later on)
Anode and Cathode are twin robots and as their names imply, they're specialized in power and electricity.
MORE DETAILS TO BE REVEALED LATER
Gladys is too busy hunting to care about pants (or dicks)
Lotta lewd ones this time :V
Minsu, Bsalg, Matt, Santiago, and Miko's requests!
ALRIGHTY, if you're in the $10 tier or higher, feel free to send me your requests for this month! I should've sent everyone eligible a message, but if you didn't get it just message me anyway.
Hey guys, just a reminder, if you have discord you can join the server.
https://discord.gg/010XuxdDjqkCCm0Nc
Get updates on stuff faster and chat n things. good times for all
she's mad she hasn't been drawn in a while
also if you guys want some super obscene and fetishy large-insert stuff check the downloads, consider this your warning though :V
So, gonna do a little animation that acts as a bit of a mock-AMA with Pivot, and I need questions. For the trial episode, I figured Patrons can be the exclusive askers.
As is, this'll go one of two ways: either just answer questions the whole time, or answer a few questions and then segway into another part of the animation (e.g., news or events or stuff like that).
So ye, ask your questions below and I'll use which ones I can. Keep em PG-13 at most.
I've still be trying to come up with something animation-wise and most everything is coming up out of scope. One simple idea would be to do just a simple AMA with Pivot, using Patron questions.
Would that be a good idea, you think? Could make it an occasionally recurring thing. The questions would need to stand on their own, not necessarily be in-context with the blog itself. I dunno how far I could go with it as well, might need to have additional segments to it.
Thoughts or other ideas/suggestions?
I've added a new tier. It's pretty identical to the $10 tier except monthly requests now get flat colors.
yaya
Hey all, just a reminder: if you're in the $10 tier and haven't received a sketch reward this month, comment here or toss me a message!
part 2
Pivot on Snapchat.
btw, it's not snapchat but if you have a Discord you can join me on there!https://discord.gg/010XuxdDjqkBUWCUS
If the invite is expired, just message me or comment below.
I FINALLY UPDATED PV02 JESUS
this'll be posted later today, you guys get to view it early.
Also I'm loving CSP's manga tools. I'll hopefully be doing more like this in the future.
Hey guys, gonna test something out and try firing up a Patreon-exclusive Discord server.
https://discord.gg/010XuxdDjqkA6BEiD
I'm not sure what I'll do with this persay but we'll see where it goes
$50 tier Patreon request for Temperator! Yay character design :Y
I did a lot of the shorts for this compilation!
Go watch :Y
Socket, Gyro, Axle, and a shark dude yet unnamed.
I kinda want to start building up the world Pivot's story takes place in a bit more, so I'm trying to come up with a few more characters. One thing I've decided, robots typically will have simple mechanism based names (e.g., Pivot, Socket, Axle, etc.)
Also Socket wears socks.
Whole post for this cause it's a bit more unique. Gonna be partially tutorial based, kinda like a real-time stream talks (which it'll be edited into one later)
Gonna be finishing up Temperator's request for this month, then moving on to doing character design and talking about design and posing, cause I feel there's a lot of parts newer artists miss. SO hop in with questions especially if you can!
Additionally, one thing I was maybe thinking, would anyone ever be interested in a discord server for streams, like a temporary one? Discord provides the option to send out invites that expire and temporary memberships. Might be kinda interesting as an option for voice chat and stuff.
For Migfeathers and Miko! Check the downloads for the individual files.
Batch 1 of this month's requests! Check the downloads.
Just a short questionaire, if ye guys could fill it out o3o
NEW MONTH GET
To $10+ patrons, I'll be sending you guys messages today--if you don't see a message, feel free to just message me first.
This month I've also got a Yoko Littner print/WP planned, as well as an exceptionally *~fetishy~* doujin commission that's really big and will take a few months to get done.
Still kinda been dry on ideas regarding animation. .-. May just bring it down to a poll this month.
Also this month: another streamtalks and the inaugural episode of Animate Curate.
Just a little update--things are gonna be a little inactive for the next week, I have a friend staying with me til May.
I'll try to do a few things here n there still. Our regularly scheduled programming will resume in May. :Y
I've kinda been debating what to animate for a long while--something independent, and not just an update video.
I think I have somewhat of a solid idea now, but I could use some help formalizing it. Some kind of music video would be cool, but I have very few ideas regarding songs.
Part of the problem as well, they'd have to be songs I'd be able to get a license for from the creator(s), which axes most mainstream stuff.
But yeah, if you guys have suggestions, ideas, feedback, etc, please by all means toss whatever you can at me. I've said it a while back that I was gonna make some kind of animated feature upon meeting my goal and I have yet o fulfill that promise.
okay well 2 of them with 2 edits of each, one set for Catbutt and one of my friend Snowy.
hurray porn
Youtube version yay
Animation test thingy pew pew pew
fuck i need a plot to stick Pivot in.
This was about 3-4 hours of work.
I wanna get your guys' feedback on a few things.
I kinda have a 3-way balancing act with commissioners, patrons, and myself, especially regarding monthly requests.
A lot of the sketch requests I've been doing for monthly rewards have been a bit better in quality, and I've typically been going so far as to make them lineart.
To be honest, this isn't really any less efficient than doing a presentable sketch--I usually go straight from the gesture to the final product. Lineart also has the added advantage where if someone wants to pay a bit of a tip to get it colored with flats, that's easy to do. A 'presentable sketch' meanwhile is just a polished up sketch, kinda like a second gesture sketch.
It would be faster for the gestures to be the rewards but I dunno if that'd be fair or optimal. But hell, maybe even some people would prefer gestures? If they'd rather those there's no harm in specifying for like a case-by-case thing. I wouldn't start doing it overall unless peeps actually preferred it.
You can see the difference between a gesture sketch and the lienart here, if that'd be of interest to anyone.
Where I run into concerns is, commission wise, lineart is $15 from me. For patrons, a monthly pledge of $10 gets you a sketch/lineart request + any of the other miscellaneous perks, so if you're going by content, being a Patron is a better deal. So I worry about whether it's balanced properly between commissions and Patreon.
At the same time, Patreon is recurring which is a bit more stable than the occasional random commissioner, the monthly requests are a bit more simplistic and open to interpretation so they're usually easier to do, and they leave the option for things being colored for a bit extra if the requester wishes.
So I guess what I wanna know is... am I reading into this too much and are things fair as they are, or does anyone have suggestions as to what might be a good change, or whatnot?
ADDITIONALLY! I've decided to set a limit on how many $10 tiers I can have (it's just a few more than there are currently, no one's getting cut out don't worry), but just in case, does anyone have any ideas for what might be good for new tiers/rewards? Even like an equivalent $10 tier that offers something other than personalized requests (psd/clip files maybe?) I already offer things like variants and full res images to all Patrons
Another Patreon reward, this time for Randyn! (man I'm getting these hammered out tonight)
He just wanted Pivot + butt stuff
Hey just a reminder guys--if you're in the $10 tier you get a sketch request each month! I sent out mass messages but if you didn't get one for whatever reason, feel free to toss me one yourself.
finally have an official redesign for EMRE so people will stop assuming she's stocking
changelog:
hey, I'm working on putting 'Animate Curate' together and I'm on the hunt for animations that haven't gotten the love they deserve.
If you've seen some animations that have stood out, link em below. Try to focus on original stuff, stuff that's within 4 months old, and has under 100k views. Stuff can be outside these parameters as well if it has something worthwhile to offer, but I really wanna try and focus on the small stuff.
It doesn't necessarily have to be super high quality either--just have something unique or interesting about it, such as clever writing, cool effects, nice art, good music, interesting movements, etc.
The basic idea: brief chunks of video get shown/highlighted with a brief commentary of what they're about and why they're worth checking out. For a series like this, I will have a bit of animation to go with it. Do you guys think Pivot would be better as the narrator (do it in the style of a newscast), or Zedbot (myself, done in the style of a review video)?
Hello new patrons. :V Figured I'd post this since there's been a lot of you lately.
If you're in the $10 or higher tiers, if you have any characters you want to see drawn be sure to drop a bit of info on them in the character pool. Try to keep it concise-- 1 to 3 good refs are more helpful than 8+. These are helpful for monthly reward requests too.
Rewards are doled out at the start of each month, after payments go through.
None of my stuff is behind a paywall and is all viewable on my my SFW and NSFW blogs (sorry @ the horde of bots looking to hijack exclusive stuff--I know there's a lot of you fucks), so your support is super appreciated :D
(Alternatively, I may switch to a 'pay up front' model when it's available, if people would be interested. For anyone new, I'd like to hear your thoughts specifically-- would you rather pay your pledge as soon as pledging to a page and get immediate rewards (including the requests, if they weren't too close to the end of the month), or would you rather standby til the next reward period?)
just some large insertion sketches. in the DL's cause it might be not be everyone's cup of tea
but if it is yours then congrats just click the attachments to view the sequence
god i'm tired
what's crazy is there are people out there who might say I draw too much stocking
they're dum
Two of the sketches so far, these ones were requested by Bsalg and Miko. Check ze downloads
Patreon's gonna be down tomorrow for maintenance so quickly take these :V
New video's up! Another stream talks, talking about the viability of animation on Youtube.
Horse girl anime should've been about centaurs instead.
Also CSP's vector options are fucking amazing I can scale my hand-drawn lineart up to high resolutions now without any loss in quality.
have panty
even more stocking I may have a problem jk this is the opposite of a problem
I finally have an idea.
This won't count to the milestone goal, but it's an animation involving Pivot.
I've rolled this idea around before, but it'd essentially be a little animated 'newscast' similar to ZTV, 'cept it'd be focused more heavily on real issues relating to the internet. (Kinda like reporting on drama, disputes, legal incidents, etc.) While being entertaining (and a bit vulgar) it'd also aim to keep certain issues relevant.
I've got a VA for Pivot, so it's possible to do. Just will need to optimize how it's done so I can get vids out in a timely fashion while the issues are relevant.
update word vomit
There is so much I want/need to do.
I haven't been doing much art-wise lately cause I've been wrapped up doing stuff, and then recuuperating and decompressing. I should hopefully start picking things up again.
I'm still taking ideas for an animation involving Pivot, if anyone has ideas for a script (like a joke or something) or even suggestions. Conversely I'm talking with my friend Raw, an animation choreographer to see if he has any ideas for maybe a fight sequence. I can't really do anything hugely engaging with it, so if it's an action scene it'll probably be fairly short. For dialog, I have a VA for Pivot finally.
I've had to put a hard hold on any 3D work and game design stuff.
I'm trying to come up with shirt ideas as well, if anyone has ideas for that.
In SFS I'm currently working on a Neko Atsume parody, an Undertale parody, and of course Star Sign, all of which will be releasing within the next 2-3 months most likely.
Youtube still sucks with its algorithm changes.
Also I really want to get a bunch of animators together and make a small mini series, an ACTUAL daily life with monster girls. Y'know, just doing everyday things instead of having each and every action devolve into sex like MonMusu was. (Don't get me wrong, I like MonMusu, but the harem aspect was a distraction more than anything.)
I really wish Patreon or even Youtube allowed for collaborator splits like Newgrounds does.
pbtbt
I've worked with the creator of Friendship Dreams before and I know he's reputable.
Also attached are the images used for the dakis, for your viewing pleasure.
For Patrons, if you use the code ROBOOTY you can get $5 off the Pivot daki! Do note there are a limited number of codes available!
I'll have more stuff coming soon down the road, if dakis aren't your thing.
First few of the requests for this month for the $10 tier! Featuring requests by Miko, Fel, and Minsu.
Something I animated within SFS! Kinda.
I mean I mostly did it solo and just opted to put it on our channel buT STILL enjoy some badass anime fish
Ahhh guys thanks to your support this Patreon has surpassed the $200 mark. ; w ; I can't believe it's reached that point.
One thing I had in my milestone goals was producing a cartoon through Patreon, and your guys' help on that would be phenomenal. I really want to make a short animation featuring Pivot, either something cool (but relatively straightforward) or funny, but I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas.
It'd obviously need to be safe for work (or at least safe enough to go up on youtube) but I want this to kinda act as a forum to discuss ideas and suggestions.
What kind of stuff would you want to see, or think would be good for an animated short?
Streamtalks is a revamp to my usual art streams I post to youtube every now and then.
yay
I DEFINITELY have a way to produce dakimakuras now
Hey guys, I'm getting information about merch stuff! If you've ever wanted to buy something physical or had ideas for that kinda stuff, you should fill out this poll o3o
Poll's here: http://goo.gl/forms/OpZS4qhJva
edit: ALSO one thing I forgot to mention, because someone asked in the poll: nothing is set in stone yet but it IS a possibility that I can get discount codes for supporters for some items.
Disgaea is really fun
updated to include sfw and nsfw versions both
I've been stressed and it's been slowing down my work ability. I've got some commissions done but Iunno about posting them here cause they're commissions.
Anyway, I'm probably gonna do a stream tomorrow (today?) POTENTIALLY a request stream, we'll see how it goes.
I've also been playing Disgaea now that it's on Steam and it's wicked fun, so if anyone has request-ideas relating to that drop em in here and I'll consider them. :V Can be safe or no.
also have some ghost girl because she's really really cute as well
why does Shantae have so many cute NPCs and enemies I feel so bad when they die

I've got the ideas fleshed out for a game.
I'm gonna be working on it throughout the year, and I'll frequently come here for ideas, advice, and maybe even a few character inserts.
It's going to be a Metroidvania style game, more of a focus on platforming and maneuvering than combat.
| PV02 'Pivot' has discovered a link between her manufacture and an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. Upon investigating, a section of the building collapses, and she finds herself trapped inside. Pivot now must investigate the factory, dodging reactivated robots and solving puzzles to unearth its secrets and escape.
The general design theory: the player will go from room to room, finding an object that allows them to advance a bit further in another area, backtracking a bit and discovering more each time. They'll get to the heart of the lab below the factory, encounter the villain, then need to stop his plans and escape.
For equipment, there would be various tools that affect navigation. What I've got so far for ideas:
-Grappling hook - for swinging
-Rocket legs - double jump
-Rebreather - can stay underwater indefinitely without waterlogging. Gives access to another mod
-Afterburner - After sprinting a bit, can rocket forward with incredible speed
-Magnet brace - allows Pivot to root herself to certain walls, and even run up certain slopes and walls otherwise too steep to climb
-Blade - cut through stuff. Also an attack
-Antipersonel rifle - a sniper rifle that can hit targets from afar. Using it in the air can act as an extra jump
If you guys wanna suggest other tools that might be possible, feel free to chime in.
There would also be temporary attachments such as punchy arms, her mermaid attachment, and a flight mode.
There would be a bit of combat--old, reactivated bots that are strangely bloodthirsty, as well as maybe some prototype models of certain characters.
It only sounds complex because this is all the ideas right out on the table. But, other than that, if you have ideas or feedback lemme have it. :Y

Howdyhowdy supporters, if you'd like to make any sketch requests, feel free to post them or message me!
Reminder of the rules:
-1 character per request
-Can be your character, one of mine, someone else's (with permission), or fanart
-Can be vague or specific, sfw or nsfw
-Cannot be MLP related, and if the character is underage cannot be nsfw
-If an OC, some kind of ref image is needed. Same goes for unfamiliar characters for fanart.
-Can post your request here or message me privately.
I'll do them probably in a stream before the end of the month
I wanna do a little more of something on Patreon, so starting from here on out, if you're in the $10 tier, you can make a sketch request each month! This can be of any character and even be NSFW (so long as it's not like vore or anything). They can be of your own OCs, someone else's (with permission), or fanart.
Some limits--they just cannot be MLP related, and if they're underage they need to be SFW. I also need something to use as a reference.
I'll make a post about it once a month to the $10+ tier, and you'll either be able to comment there to bring up the request, or you can shoot me a private message.
animation test for a tutorial video I'm working on.
All related files are present here--the video file, the fla for the video, the puppet set I made for the puppet-creation part of the tutorial, and the puppet set I used for the animation part of the tutorial.
As for the tutorial itself, probably will be up tomorrow or the day after.
super basic line control tutorial.
For quite some time I've been trying to think of viable game premises. I've kinda narrowed down my approaches to 3 options:
1. Freerunning platformer. Play as Pivot, get from point A to point B.
2. Sidescroller shooter/metroidvania. Inspired by Cave Story and Megaman, play as Pivot, collect upgrades, shoot and fight your way through areas.
3. Monster RPG. Cast of monster characters (possibly 100% monster girls) in a more fantasy setting. This one I've had a more sophisticated idea for, since modern RPGs usually have some kind of mechanic that separates them from one another.
In case 3, the mechanic I had in mind would essentially be a normal turn-based RPG, but you'd get to move twice per round. You'd have defensive moves as well as offensive ones--if struck while using a defensive move, it'd follow an extended rock-paper-scissors system, where if you use the right type of move, you get to mitigate or negate any damage you'd otherwise receive, and counter attack.
You'd be able to use any 2 moves you wanted to: two attacks, two items, two defenses, etc, but enemies could as well. And a counter is only viable for one hit--so multiple attacks on one target ensure that they'll still take damage.
In spite of me giving more detailed information on case 3, which of these 3 would be more interesting to play?

Commissioned by Minsu! Now there's another robot daki, with two variants (poses differ as well!)
Files marked with a T are transparent, and ones labeled SMALL aren't at the ridiculous resolution I drew these in.
commissions are still open. For Patrons:
-50% off the entire commission if it's of just one of my characters
-33% off the entire commission otherwise (extra characters can still be 50% off)
Feel free to message me through here or on Tumblr.
Pivot rig is finally finished.
Only thing from here out are small tweaks and fixes.
now to animate something. someday.
You guys get to see this early, yay.
Undertale fundertale. Download the file, you'll need flash player or to play it in a browser like Chrome.
I would share my FLA for it but my PC bsod'd on me, and for some stupid reason the FLA is now corrupt. Luckily I rendered out the swf before that happened, and was able to finish this video, which will be up on Youtube tomorrow.
I made a daki.
This is actually high enough resolution to print on an actual daki, but if you'd rather have a smaller download (for speed purposes) I've also included the 'preview' images.
Also wp1 is a safe wallpaper formatted, wp2 is the nude version.
Hey, one thing I'm gonna start doing, so long as it remains feasible:
Patreon keeps track of your lifetime pledges. Whenever you as my patrons break $100 in lifetime pledges, I'll offer you a free character drawing. Can be your own OC, one of mine, depending on complexity maybe an interaction between a few. Nsfw is allowed and it's open to any and all tiers.
I'll start going out of my way to contact people starting next month, though if you've already broken the $100 lifetime mark and want to message me right away, feel free to do so.
Large file warning
Iunno, maybe a Pivot dakimakura WIP? This is really high resolution so it'd be possible.
NSFW variant in the downloads
sorry if this posted twice, Patreon's fuckin up on me
I am stagnating hard so I want to know where you guys would think I should focus my efforts.
I've still got storyboards and animations I need to work on within SFS, but this is all separate from that. Basically, what do you want to see next?
Sorry my output's been shit.
Does anyone have any ideas on stuff to draw? Situations, characters, etc.
I've been feeling dead since getting back from Youmacon.
Hey, just posting this here if anyone's curious.
This is the source file to the game. Feel free to look at the assets, code, etc.
You'd need Flash CS6 or higher to open it.
This was commissioned by Doggyg.
This is probably the most depraved thing I've drawn to date and I'm going to hell. Who wants to ride with me?
To play, you can download it and view it in flash player or your browser. I'll also be posting an embeeded version to http://zedrin-butts.tumblr.com/gametime.
As a little secret to Patrons, there's a little expansive easter egg if you keep stimulating her past her limit!
This is currently incomplete but the core mechanics are there.
Use the mouse to control the position. Click to toggle to one of two auto modes, or switch back to manual.
Coming soon:
-Sound effects (no dialog)
-Gonna try and implement a 'pleasure' meter to attain a climax.
-Might make it so there's a meter for you and a meter for her, and different speeds/depths have different effects on both. You can climax one or both for up to 3 different results.
-Preloader and credits and stuff so if someone tries to reupload it I'll still have my blog and Patreon cited as the source.
UPDATE:
-SFX added
-Should control a bit better
-'Auto' button now a separate button. Click the orange box to cycle through auto loops
Hey guys, there won't be a poll for this month, instead I'm gonna make another interactive flash game o: I'll probably be streaming its creation and getting started on it today.
So, yay
also I'm sick
Just some stream draws from tonight.
One's a NSFW gif.
Enjoy.
I'm going to Detroit now.
You'll need to download to view.
randomly decided to start working on a little comic where when installing firmware, Click's owner decides to run some override programs on her which allows him to dictate what her lil' robot body feels.
i dunno if i'll finish this so have a WIP. if people actually like this idea I'll go through with it
Shantae, plus some slightly nsfw images. Check the DL's, only the Shantae pic is SFW :Y
I'm working on some redesigns for EMRE.
Honestly the hardest part with drawing her is the limbs. I never can decide how I want them to look, just what I want them to do. And it's very easy for them to come out too thick.
I really want to start up doing a monthly tutorial series. Probably with flash.
If I do start it up, I'm gonna rework my Patreon a little bit. NSFW posts will still be a thing, but they won't have NSFW image previews. You'll instead just be able to click the DL links to view them directly.
Just cause I'm gonna make the tutorials directly relevant to Patreon, so if someone wants to support for the tuts but doesn't want the NSFW, it'll be a degree of separation without removing it all together.
assassassassassassass
Also, would people rather I send out stream notifications via mass messages? Or should I just post them as bulletins like I've been doing?

https://picarto.tv/Zedrin streaming some commissions!
New commission sheet, just some updated prices and options!
As patreon supporters you can take 25% off the total cost, at any tier. If it involves one of my characters, take 50% off the 'extra character' fee, or if it's just a commission featuring them solo, just take 50% off the total cost instead of 25% or 33%.
Woops, forgot to post this here.
From the monthly vote! This was in a tiebreaker for 2nd place.
I'm gonna stream today, but before I do, please vote here!:
http://goo.gl/forms/hmK8EhqPbG
This is a DIFFERENT voting form, meant to break a 3-way tie!
Anutha one! Old footage.
Just a dual timelapse of my recent stream
Have some Splatoon wallpapers based on this upcoming Splatfest: Cars vs Planes.
I’ma stream squid draws today : D stream will be up in a mo’ (gimme like 15 minutes)
stream will be up here: https://picarto.tv/Zedrin
I don't even play Splatoon, but here's some WIPs of what I'm working on for this weekend's Splatfest
STREAM ON
Hey guys, I've prepared the poll for this month. Head over here to vote: http://goo.gl/forms/RBrXXs6fyg
You can also see all the contesting images here: http://imgur.com/a/FvJSe/all
Vote for up to 3 of them! The two most popular will be fully inked and colored
Goat mom is proud of you
Undertale is amazing and you should all play it

lewdstreaming a commission or two
I'm a bit curious cause I feel slightly aimless myself.
What all would you be interested in seeing from me in the future, down the road?
This might influence what I work on when it comes to milestone goals as well.
Did you want to see animations by me, like a little series? Short NSFW loops/cartoons/parodies? Interactive flash games (SFW or NSFW)? Comics? High end art and prints? Actual game development (e.g., the platformer I have on the backburner)? Fanart?
some semi fetishy stuff included
I'm taking a few commissions. As patrons, you guys get 25% off by the way! If anyone's interested.
Note on taking percents off:
-You can knock 25% off by commissioning something featuring one of my characters.
-You can knock 25% off by being a Patron
-These stack, HOWEVER: The first article only applies to the main cost. The reason being is otherwise this could be manipulated to actually make a commission cost stay almost the same by adding in one of my characters.
-Example: Dynamic shaded image is $35, with one extra character is $55. If you got one of just your character and the 25% off, it'd be $26.25. If the stacked 50% off applied to the entire thing, adding in one of my characters to an image would price it at $27.5. So instead, the 50% off only applies to the core cost (the original $35) while only 25% is taken off from the additional character fee.
Doodle of Miko's Cait with some variations.

Hey guys, back from Disney.
Gonna be multistreaming with Ed and Whatsalewd later today, so hop on in here if you wanna watch:
stream is 18+
random doodles and boob-based shenanigans
robot ass, monster girl/futa gloryholes, and Lucy actually doing something sexual for once.
Look at the attached files for additional draws.
Zee knockers > kinball boobs > gigaboobs
shitty sequence i forgot to post to here
Zee got a few... changes.
Have a depraved, shitty sequence of click deciding to do something REALLY stupid.
lots of doodles
Last thing that was voted on (Cesil sure was popular this month :Y)
l e g s
streaming
Things might be quiet for the next week.
Got a trip coming up this weekend for my birthday, and my PC's having issues with one of its drives. While it's not my boot drive, for some reason my system reserved (which contains information to load my boot drive) is on a drive that's failing. I'm gonna have to do some tricks to get the system files onto my primary boot drive (largely via disconnecting all drives then running a repairdisk on just my boot) but I dunno how that'll pan out necessarily.
I won't be messing with it til I get back from my trip. There may be a stream or two between now and when I leave for my trip, but otherwise when I get back fixing this issue will be my priority (cause my breaking drive is really causing problems.)
She wouldn't harm a fly
...well actually dunno about that. But she wouldn't harm you, at least.
One of the voted drawings! Gonna be doing the others when I have time
Cesil's been popular in the recent poll. :Y I'm gonna give it like 2 days more to finalize before announcing which draws will be dun.
Anyway, meanwhile have an older Cesil design. Approximately 30, she's become highly skilled both as a seamstress and an alchemist.
May color later this week.
New month, that means new vote! The images are viewable here.
There wasn't as much this month, though there were a few more things that are a bit more complex. So I'm gonna limit votes to 3 per person this time.
As before, I'll flesh out the top two from a sketch to a full color image.
I'm also going to add an optional 'other' field where you can enter in any other sketches that I may have missed from this month. This won't count towards your vote limit, but if there's something particularly popular I may do a 3rd image.
The voting field is here:
http://goo.gl/forms/t0r0ne4xar
As another reminder,
you can always request things here as well!
Alright, I've thought of something new to implement.
Basically, you can drop suggestions and requests here, and when bored/looking for inspiration, I'll peruse here (as well as the character pool) and draw items listed.
This will be open to all supporters, with a few rules:
*If you want to make a request of your own OC, they need to be in the character pool
*If you lack access to the character pool, you're limited to requesting things featuring my own characters or fandom based characters. Note on fandom based ones, if I don't recognize them, I likely won't draw them
*You can request multiple times, and don't feel discouraged if your requests don't get made. Just add new requests as replies to your earlier ones, for organization purposes. You can also make multiple requests in the same post
*If a request is NSFW, just please put (NSFW) before explaining it. I don't mind if you request kinks either, just make sure it's marked
*Try to keep requests easy to understand. Simpler things will be more likely to be drawn, though that doesn't mean I won't occasionally look for something more complex. There's also no guarantee I'll do a request, but don't let that discourage you from posting one!
Just for convenience, I've added my characters' bustchart as an attachment, in case anyone wants to post suggestions for any of them.
Various files and animated variants in the downloads!
Hey guys, do you prefer me to post stream announcements in Patreon? If I'm planning them in advance I will regardless, but realtime the issue is Patreon sends out notifications every few hours, rather than instantly, so you might get a notification when a stream's already halfway done if not ended.
If people still want me to post announcements here, I will though. Just I can't promise them arriving to your email in a timely fashion.
Also on another note, my Picarto is now exclusively for NSFW streaming. SFW streams will now be done on Youtube! (yaaaay) Sorry to split my interface a bit, but this'll work out nicely for longer term stuff.
Just a doodle of Click.
Also includes a pic of her in her mouse mode!
Cesil made Lishna a dress with her own silk.
Lishna finds that and the fact that Cesil expects her to wear a dress equally odd.
Cesil demonstrating how she fricks, Click trying to give a BJ
i updated PV02 go me
So, this is my first time making something like this.
This is a basic hentai game. You click the buttons and stuff happens to Click. Real simple.
Note you'll need to click the downloadable file to play.
Enjoy!
Assorted lewds.
Only thing fetishy is the one labeled 'giantjale.' view at your own risk.
A reference of all my current characters.
i have no idea what to draw, so I'm doing a bust chart

Download the gif/other images for part of the sequence!
Cesil got a makeover! (All downloads are SFW btw)
Weremom + various other characters.
Daughter is also colored, nicknamed Edgewolf cause she's an edgy fuck
Probably gonna call her Lucy, but she has an obnoxious username that she goes by (like Syke or something)
Hey guys, here's an animation I worked on within SFS! Enjoy.

sketches from today
Always be sure to keep track of what you're wearing the night of a full moon. Be sure to plan accordingly.
INTRODUCING WEREWOLF (+daughter)
new character time
Winner #2 of the monthly poll was entry C, featuring Pivot vs. Cait! Both a sfw and nsfw variant are available.
Winner #1 of the poll, entry J was of Sprixl's squidgirl! Here she is in full color!
Just wanted to play around in AE and practice something. Like how this came out.
Alrighty, votes are closed!
The winners were C and J, which were the Cait/Pivot butt bump pic, and the original drawing I did of Sprixl!
I'll be coloring them (in high resolution as well) later this month!
(Also, what'd you guys think of this vote? Only 7 people voted out of 24 so I don't know how fair of a representation I got, or if there'd be something better to do instead. But, so long as people thought it was fun or worthwhile.)
(why does figuring out what to offer in Patreon have to be so hard augh)
just realized I forgot to post this here.
kinda boring honestly but whatever
'Ey all, thanks again for this month.
(Reminder, you can always add your OCs to the character pool if you're in the right tier! https://www.patreon.com/posts/2662159)
Based on the responses I got, this month I'm gonna do something different for the monthly vote. I do a lot of sketches and linearts, but don't finish them.
So, instead that's where you guys'll come in! I'll list off all my sketches from this month, and you guys can vote on which one you wanna see done. You can choose just 1 or you can choose 5. I'll do full color versions of the top two. There's a mixture of SFW and NSFW to vote on as well.
And if there's a tie, I'll do an extra one, so there's 3 instead of 2. :Y
Note that the way this vote is set up is a bit complex. I wish I could embed the images into the voting field, but instead I have to work with what I've got.
View the album and note down the letters of the potentially 5 images you'd like to see colored, then vote for their respective letters in the poll.
You can view the album of images here: http://imgur.com/a/tiLyp

Fembots in bunny suits, ft. Vix and Kaede.
It's Isabelle
This is a collab with my friend Mindy, so it won't be colored for a while :Y
Stocking Anarchy as a mermaid.
Version 1 is white stripe, 2 is black stripe.
Wanted to draw a wet shirt. This was the result. Downloads contain each individual image.
Would anyone want this as a Patreon-exclusive wallpaper? Just comment below and I'll whip one up.
To do:
Add a bend to Pivot's torso for some animations
Add in more hand poses
Add in more positions for the skirt, hair, etc.
Actually animate the poses
Fix whatever looks terrible (like the kick)
It'll probably be a while before I touch this again but here it is anyway.
Formerly called Lillian, she's now in color :Y
Download the 'lewd' attachment for some extra info on her
this is all a bunch of fetishy bullshit :Y
White ink confirmed? (Sprixl's and Miko's squids)
Honestly I don't feel comfortable even posting this image here directly so I'ma just link to it and provide the download :Y
http://zedrin-butts.tumblr.com/post/125157881105/stupid-gif-idea
tl;dr scrappy gif of a girl on a REALLY big dick to the point it's bulging almost at her chest (breaking bodily physics)
Some ideas for when i get to making the Pivot game
it'd be a platformer with light combat in it, otherwise mostly focused on speed and movement.
The animations from the test build will be replace with non-pixel art, since normal animation is significantly easier and faster to make.
One key question I had, what style of run do you guys think would work better? A (skipping), B (senpai notice me), or C (standard)?
Playing Around with ClipPaint's screentone options. I like em, combined with it's really strong selection tools I'm really enjoying using it for monotone.
I stream all night ye
Everything's NSFW. Got some PO'd buff dragon lady (ABS), Shantae hypnosis, harpy butt, and catgirls
question for you all:
(Okay at this point my Patreon is pretty much 90% NSFW, and I'm fine with that)
Do you guys like seeing the sketch posts as individual attachments? Or would you rather there be compilation posts that feature all sketches in a single image?
what it says on the tin
Some lewds of Click.
Enjoy.
Finally done with this, I'm not thrilled with how it came out and I took a lot of shortcuts cause I was so tired of working on it, but it's finally done.
I've reached a point where I focus more on quantity over quality, at least with comic/story based stuff. Else the story never moves on.
I may need to recruit some people though...
More WIPs. I won't be doing full color, just black and white, but these hopefully should be done soon!
This is taking a while so I figured I'd share some WIPs of the upcoming story update.
There's 4 pages in total, but I only have 3 in a WIP state atm. Pivot's pretty much falling apart, but won't go down without a fight, even using her own leg as a weapon.
Unfortunately, the gunman has an anti-material sidearm, which makes short work of even armored robots.
Miko was the winner of the poll earlier, and he requested an animated gif of his robot girl Cait.
ENJOY!
If you'd like to offer feedback on these vote options, check the recent activity posts!
I'm gonna be streaming more nsfw gif creation in about an hour! Look out for a stream link around 6:15 PST!
Just an artstream timelapse of my latest drawing!
What do you do if you’re cursed and everyone thinks you’re an evil monster and risk being attacked at any moment?
You enlist to serve under a dragon warrior for protection, even if it means following her into hot springs (despite your low tolerance for heat and your fear of water).
At least Lishna respects Cesil’s braiding ability enough to allow her to touch her hair.
Wallpaper version is available for download if anyone likes!
So, the poll results are in, the winner is Miko's Caitlyn! o3o
I'll be messaging you after this posts to discuss what to do. It was pretty close between Miko's and Sprixl's ocs.
In the meantime, I have a form that I'd appreciate if you guys could fill out: http://goo.gl/forms/eJ3SXuuSyf
Just looking for feedback to see how good of an idea this was. I've got an alternative idea to try if this OC vote isn't favorable.
also, have some naked Raye and Jale.
Oh yeah Jale's a futa. Fun.
Okay 2 of them are technically revisions of older ones, but I don't think anyone who follows me would know that anymore.
Lishna's a dragonkin, Jale's a bat, and Raye's a harpy.
fun to be had 4 all
now that SU has been watched, IMA STREAM!
https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=Zedrin
Stream will be SFW, PG13. Doing some character designs. will take a break mid-stream to get dinner too.
Go here and vote for the character you'd wanna see some form of art for! Reminder, to make this fair, vote for someone else's character, don't vote for your own!
http://goo.gl/forms/Tw6WzBi53G
i need to decide whether to do this cel shaded (anime style) or do it more painterly
Check zedrin-butts.tumblr.com to view individually, or download for yourself!
Also the Palutena is gonna be fully colored, as well as the nakey one.
ALRIGHT I've thought up a reward for reaching the $100 mark.
Here's how it'll work:
EVERYONE who is a supporter can post 1 OC of theirs or someone they have permission of in the comments of this post. I'll round them up and put them all in a separate post, and then everyone will vote on which one they want to see art of (can't vote for your own, though, just to keep it diverse).
Whichever OC wins, I'll contact that person and they can decide if they want an animated gif, pixel art, or a print. They can also suggest what's going on for said medium.
As long as I'm above the $100 mark I'll do this once per month o: SO ANYWAY!
Nominate your OCs below! Be sure to include a single reference image, maybe a brief description. (And if you have suggestions or comments to add, post those as well!)
some stream results!

NEW CHARACTER YAY
I’m planning on using her in a DND campaign.
Cesil was a book seller (and bookworm) who fiddled with a dark tome she acquired one night that she shouldn’t’ve. It cursed her into her current form, crippling her eyesight and making her weak to holy magic. It’s given her some other strengths she has yet to tap or understand as well.
A history of reading has given her a lot of knowledge on many random topics, most of it useless, but it also helped her get her start into alchemy, which she figures she’ll need if she’s to find a cure.
just did a random late night stream. Drew Miko's shark girl in shark lingerie, and 2 new monster girl characters.
I'm definitely gonna flesh out the drider. I might be prompted to do a host of fantasy based characters, tbh.
Dunno how far I can go with such, though. Still have my sci-fi/robot characters to manage :Y
there's a lot of cat lingerie, decided to experiment and come up with shark versions.
breakdown of it is in the downloads
My original milestone goal was streamed based, but it's not really relevant now that I stream so often.
So instead, what are some ideas that I can do for reaching the milestone? I'd be up for doing anything from tutorials, to a short cartoon, to a thank-you image...
Toss ideas and suggestions at me!
my creativity's been on the low side lately. Anyone got any suggestions or requests for draws?
You can toss in OCs if you really want to
This'll be published tomorrow on PV02.tumblr.com. You guys get to see it early!
just some late night lewds.
enjoy
So I'm really close to the $100 milestone goal, but the current reward on that doesn't seem relevant anymore, since I'm streaming much more often lately, and I've moved into doing NSFW work as well.
So, I want ideas of stuff that'd be good for that reward tier. Preferably something that can be done continually or addition to what I do now.
Both SFW and NSFW suggestions are welcome!
Pivot on some kind of cyber-mat.
Downloads include alpha variants as well as varying levels of NSFW.
Damn i've been streaming a lot lately.
Anyway, another one tonight! https://picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=Zedrin
Streaming with a friend who I haven't drawn with in a while. It's currently 1:22 pm, the stream will probably be up around 2pm
STREAM IS NSFW

Hey guys.
This thread will be used to collect refs and lists of OCs that are acceptable for me to draw on spontaneous occasions.
In this thread, please list:
Name of OC
NSFW Acceptable? Y/N
Links to reference images
1-line description of personality or conditions
Try to keep it concise! If you have multiple characters, or want to add more, add them as a reply to your original comment (so your reply chain is filled with your own OCs)
I'ma try to do maybe 1-2 spontaneous OC draws a month. Maybe more.
just a preview of what's to come.
If anyone wants to suggest a final good outfit, post in the comments!
working on a print-style thing.
yay
Patreon supporters will get the full resolution + maybe a few alternate approaches (e.g. different outfit)
so if you wanna toss suggestions at me for this, go for it :Y
A poll:
Who here wants me to post NSFW art and stuff? Is there anyone who doesn't?
If there's anyone who doesn't I'll keep NSFW posts censored or referential still, but if everyone either is ambivalent or wants to see them, I'll start readily sharing them here.
I just wanna make sure this content feed is content supporters are actually interested in.
Just a little comic strip I made, based on events in PMMM mafia.
I was playing as Madoka and I made her a very naive furry.
"I WAS LIED TO ON THE INTERNET!"
She has to make sure her tail isn't screwing with her swimsuit at all.

My friend Mindy drew Click and her character Sam swapping outfits, and that reminded me of the size difference they have and something I've been wanting to draw :Y
yay size differences
there's context to this image having to do with artists and perceptions and stuff.
if you can guess the context more specifically I'll draw you a free full-color request :Y
I like this idea a lot and have rolled around the idea of doing a little arc in the blog involving underwater stuff with Pivot and Gladys.
I'm nto gonna post this as an item or creation, but if you go to my NSFW blog I recently did two small test gifs.
They're lewd. If you like boobaroos you'll like em though. AGAIN. NSFW
http://nsfwzed.tumblr.com/post/120335547700/i-animated-bouncing-tiddies-debated-making-it-into
http://nsfwzed.tumblr.com/post/120335786285/and-of-course-there-had-to-be-one-of-these
In this version:
-Improved friction, making landing and platforming a bit easier
-MUCH improved sprites
-Fixed a few bugs where you could jump up through platforms. Didn't fix all instances of this issue, though.
To add to the core build:
-Improve sprites further (remove banding where possible (and there's a lot on some sprites), fix errors, etc.)
-Add sprites for wall-mounting to let user know when they can walljump
-Add effects when a double jump is performed to let user know they have successfully jumped.
SO I'm putting work into this again. I think I'm gonna forgo using slopes in a final build.
My plan for the game isn't zealous or anything: You basically navigate around a big map and activate nodes/collect stuff via walljumping, ground-pounding, and double jumping over obstacles. Maybe activate smaller robots or something that say stupid things (think Cat Planet).
For level design, what would work well? Does a sliding camera seem to be a good option, or would it be better for you to move room-by-room? Does this movement system favor lateral movement or vertical movement more? What kind of hazards or obstacles would you want to see? Is the walljumping enjoyable?
meanwhile I feel kinda like taking requests.
NSFW requests.
Anyone have NSFW requests, even if it's something completely generic?
I may draw them tonight.
(part of me wants to animate something lewd as well but whatevs)
Stream tomorrow, keep an eye out.
I'll be doing an update, followed by either doing spritework or taking requests, depending on my mood/the chat.
My friend Owl wanted to see our robot girls as succubi bots. So I obliged :Y
IT’S MONSTER/MACHINE MONDAY
https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=Zedrin
Hop on in, watch me draw, make a few requests n shit.
Rules for requests:
Has to be either a monster or robot character (bipedal or taur build regardless)
If you want to request an OC, you need a ref image for them.
You can also just request a generic character. (e.g., ‘athletic centaur girl.’ Don’t think this is a caveat around no ref sheet tho, too many details will be bad.)
You must be in the stream to make the request.
Stream is rated PG-13, so no NSFW (this time at least)
Other rules:
Don’t roleplay
Don’t spam/advertise
Links are okay if used sparingly and if they go to simple locations, like a blog or an image
Don’t be a penisface
OKAY HOP ON IN
Alright, so I'm trying to get myself more organized cause my current (or prior) level of organization was killing me creatively and when you're running an animation team as well as your own content, that's a horrible thing.
SO! From now on, every 3 out of 4 Fridays a month I'll be hosting a stream! (The one day where there is no stream will be so I can stream with SFS and tackle that stuff.) I'll either be drawing something big, animating something, taking requests, or working on the small game I've been making.
I've also been on the fence about this other topic but I'm gonna try doing it anyway--Mondays are gonna be Monster and Machine Mondays. Again streaming, gonna be more request focused. I tried this before and utterly failed cause I'm trash, but I'm gonna give it another go. Basically, so long as you're request a monster or robot character, I'll draw them, be them your OC or mine (female characters preferred, but I'll likely do anything so long as their bipedal.)
I may also alter rewards, if this idea is popular enough, to start making every few of these streams NSFW-allowed (like maybe 1/3 or 1/4) once a certain goal is reached. (Tbh I dunno how feasible or practical my current milestones and rewards are.)
Thanks for putting up with me so far! ヾ(´▽`*;)ゝ” If you want to try and help me stick to these plans and make sure I don't slack off, feel free, can do so through messaging me or through comments.
Got a request earlier here for Collet being a lap puppy.
While she's not in a lap, I figured this would suffice :Y Collet as Isabelle from Animal Crossing.

I'm gonna get back to working on my game sometime soon. The idea behind it will be a basic collector-platformer game. You run around, activating some smaller robots, jumping and navigating around a big environment. (Think kinda like Cat Planet, but no flying)
Hopefully not too big a project for a first game!
Again, NSFW. Just a little sketch this time.
One file is censored, one is not.
Enjoi.
Gimme requests of things to draw, my characters only this time around. NSFW requests of Click are acceptable as well :Y
There's a pun in here somewhere.

See title.
Post requests here. OCs are acceptable.
Better versions of yesterday's sprite.
Need to add some inbetweens and more frames, but i'm working on this stuff again.
Once I get it reimported into the game I'll release a new version. (of the game. :Y)
Just some recent doodles of the new OC
Just a timelapse of me drawing her. Go give a watch!
i-if you want...
Okay, she's fleshed out now. INTO THE CHARACTER PILE SHE GOES.
Click is a robotic computer mouse (both kinds). She can compact herself into an operable mouse, or unfold and walk around as a bipedal little bot. She's only about 6-7 inches high, roughly the size of a figma.
Also in mouse mode she holds her tail-cord between her boobs cause that was a way better alternative to using her butt as the mouse buttons = 3 =;;
Anyway, I'll probably do more draws of her doing things if people request her.
Shirtless version just for Patrons! (Cause i love you guys)
wanted to do 2 things:
*something that showed Pivot's hips/figure
*give Pivot crazy(er) hair
this was the result.
someone threw this idea at me and I gave it a shot :Y

Here's a few requests that I did last night. I'll be doing more likely throughout the week.
Also I'm planning on opening up commissions again soon, maybe just 2-3 per month, if anyone's interested.
I need some things to draw, so go ahead and make requests. Can be my characters or fanart. :V
Also, if you're a $15 supporter if you'd like to request one of your own characters, that's an option for you as well!
Another Pivot gif
I need to figure out a use for these tbh
I'm finally back from M2X. I drew a Pivot on the plane and like how she came out.
Friend randomly showed me a very impractical swimsuit.
Survey says: still impractical
Was doing a little pinup and came to think of how Pivot's clothes would actually be designed to be feasible. So that resulted in this :Y
Also a small simple roll pinup.
I've never played Megaman still. :Y
She's not used to wearing tops like this :Y
March was super super super super super busy for me so I fell behind in a lot of art.
to make up for it, anyone who can post here, feel free to drop requests here! I'll get around to doing them periodically throughout this month. They can be of OCs as long as they have refs, one of my OCs, fanart (as long as I know who it is), etc. You can request slightly nsfw/risque as well if you feel so inclined.
I'm in the spirit of the April Fools Tumblr update
Have some Pivot with DJ equipment
I gotta release SOMETHING of quality this month :Y
Have a WIP of a drawing I'm working on.
>Internet goes out
>Decide to animate
Contains: Profile, 3Q, and Front components, both in underwear and clothed (as well as nude but don't expect there to be anything).
Heavy keyframe usage, so many parts have various positions. E.G: there is one torso for the front, side, and 3Q, just different selected frames. Note that the puppet is kinda memory intensive cause there's so many subcomponents, so trying to do anything too complex may result in crashes.
Doesn't contain any mouth positions yet, and no animation frames on the hair or skirt.
Requires flash CS6 or higher.
Woo! Got done with the profile view and decided to double up and show the asymmetric sides.
This is all I'll update on for a while. For game use I wouldn't need to use back shots, but if I decide to animate her I'll need to explore that eventually (BOOTY).
I'm mostly doing this to test a method for building the rig. There might be some animation samples to come of it!
Decided to put some work into the Pivot rig! Got a front view going.
And unfortunately they're gonna stay a bit quiet for a little. x:
I'm working on storyboards and character concepts for a project me and my team have been working on for a year+ now, and are planning on talking about at Midwest Media Expo in April. Unfortunately that's where most of my time artistically has been devoted as of late, and I can't share it anywhere since it's under NDAs.
I might draw something or host a livestream sometime this month, but until M2X comes I'll probably be bustin' my ass on this project x 3 x
I honestly didn't expect my Patreon to reach this point. BUT! Here we are!
Welp, as per the milestone, that means I'm gonna start work on a little portfolio of pinups. I'm gonna need yer guys' help on deciding what to put in it, though.
So, just to lay out some rules on this:
-Make suggestions in the comments below. I'll list my characters there as well for reference.
-Suggestions can be which characters you'd like to see in the 'folio, or for a theme.
Characters:
-They can be my characters, fanart of existing characters, or you can even nominate your own. (Just note, for this they do need to be lady characters, sorry dudes = A =). I can do humans, robots, furries, monster girls, pretty much anything bipedal and human-ish.
-For fanart of official characters from anime or games, the only stipulation in them being valid is that I'm familiar with them (else it makes drawing them a bit harder). Don't let that stop you from suggesting, though!
-Be sure to read the comments as well, to see if anyone else has suggested a character you like.
-You can suggest as many characters as you want.
--One additional stipulation I've been thinking of is actually doing 3 prints of my own OCs, and 3 of Patreon supporters' OCs, just to guarantee a mixture. Thoughts?
Themes:
-Honestly I have no idea what to do for a theme across these, so any suggestions would be awesome! Can be anything from generic pinups to thematic.
-Try to keep it PG-13. That said, it IS a pinup portfolio, so it's unlikely you'd suggest anything too inappropriate.
Final things:
-I'll make the final decisions mostly based on whatever get most requested.
-I'm on the fence about making a NSFW variant as well. Feel free to comment in favor or against it.
-Due to work and stuff it might be a month or two before the entire thing is out. (Gotta prepare for a convention in April and then one in May. Yeesh x 3 x )
-If you nominate your own OC, understand that I'm not claiming ownership of them, HOWEVER: the hi-res prints might be sold as downloads or as physical prints by me. Just make sure you're fine with that.
-If you're a Patreon supporter you automatically will get access to the high-res files yourself, for personal use!
This'll probably stay open until I've got 6 characters selected. I may tweak the rules a bit if something more efficient or practical comes up.
Thanks again guys!
A slice out of an update.
I did a lot of tiny updates on the blog recently, if anyone wants I can compile them into a sketchdump or two for patreon :Y Just comment if you want them, or just go to pv02.tumblr.com.
So I made this with my team at SFS. Yee
Made some updates to the game.
*There's now animation!
*You now have a ground pound attack! Press the down arrow while in midair
*You can now doublejump!
*The room to play in is a lot bigger
As usual:
Left/right arrows: move
Up arrow: jump, doublejump, walljump
Down arrow: ground pound
I'll be honest I have no idea where I'm going with this, but it's fun.
So, I've basically made a simple platformer engine. It's nothing special, but if you want to check it out, it's in the downloadable files!
Controls:
Left/right arrows = move
up arrow = jump
When touching a wall, you can jump again to walljump. You can't walljump off the same direction twice in a row before landing, but you can jump off of an opposite facing wall.
Pivot done in the style of Panty and Stocking. Felt like brushing up on the style.
Have a Pivot pinup.
Note: The regular version doesn't have a SFW tag for a reason. :Y
One last one.
Because I can and I feel saucy.
Happy Valentines day :Y
Decided to update my Pivot flash puppet using her reference. Wasn't satisfied with the first pass. Gonna update her front view as well soon, but for now ave a small animation test!
Also fun fact: the animations are 179 frames, but only take up about .3 MB. Gotta love photoshop's and flash's ability to work in tandem to make high quality gifs.
The puppet's arranged so it can easily shift between any clothing variants. There's 2 animation tests provided in the attachments.
an alternate outfit variant of the same image uploaded last night.
Reuploaded because I fixed some things.
Felt like drawing some badass Pivot.
As Patrons, you guys get access to the full size transparent image and print. :Y For personal use, if'n you want.
Wallpaper's also in there.
'Eeey thanks for supporting me this month!
I can't guarantee how active I'll be this month, since my girlfriend's staying with me, but I'll try to do some streams at the end of it!
Some random doodles of Collet.
More progress on the flash puppet. The front view is done now! Starting the 3Q.
NEVERMIND AGAIN, NOW IT'S WORKING WHAT THE FUCK
https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=Zedrin
Not planning on animating much with her (though it'll be more of a possibility beyond the silly loops I've made), but I'm making puppets of Pivot and co. to simplify doing longer story panels and updates.
My take on Madoka's witch form, kinda more humanized.
WOW I haven't drawn anything serious in several days.
Work in progress of another Madoka piece.
Man I've been slow on art lately x_x Been majorly distracted by graphics card issues.
A request by one of my supporters of his cat-pirate.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW REFRESHING IT IS TO GET AN INTERESTING CHARACTER AS A REQUEST/COMMISSION ; A ;
Have a WIP of my next GG/ST animated.
Warning: contains Ross moaning.
Won't work on mobile since it's a flash file atm.
http://puu.sh/e32BZ/e5f7f3698d.swf
I'm in need of things to draw! Since my Patreon's still small, feel free to make any requests here. OCs are acceptable, even.
Welp, this happened as well.
Pokeddexy day 31: all-time favorite
Welp, that concludes Pokeddexy! My all-time favorite is gliscor. One of the best physical walls in OU on top of being a fucking cool pokemon. (Literally a bat scorpian.)
AND WITH THIS I AM DONE WITH THE CHALLENGE WOO
Day 30: most badass pokemon
Don't fuckle with shuckle.
Day 29: scariest pokemon.
Shedinja is kinda silly looking. But...
"Shedinja’s hard body doesn’t move—not even a twitch. In fact, its body appears to be merely a hollow shell. It is believed that this Pokémon will steal the spirit of anyone peering into its hollow body from its back."
Day 28: cutest pokemon
I have a feeling Eevee's a prime choice for this category.
Day 27: coolest pokemon
Absol might not be super strong but damn it is one cool pokemon.
And we all know Satsuki would own one.
Day 26: favorite starter
GEN 2 (STILL) REPRESENT!
Quilava's line is my favorite u v u
Merry Christmas!
day 24: favorite pokemon design
I REALLY like Honedge's line as a concept. An enchanted/haunted sword is something that should've been done a LONG time ago, I feel.
Sorry for the lower effort on this one, been super busy so I couldn't dedicate a lot of time to it.
Day 23: favorite single stage evolution
Skarmory's always been a cool concept, on top of being pretty versatile as a pokemon.
Pokeddexy day 22: favorite mega evolution
Mawile again! Mega form this time, done in the same style as the prior one.
day 21, favorite baby pokemon
Prbtbrbptrbptbrtpbrbptbprtbprbptrbptbprtbprtprtbprtbprbptrbptbprbptrbptbprbptrbptrbptbprbtprpbtrp
Day 20 is favorite electric rodent. It's a close call between Pachirisu and Raichu for me.
On one hand, Raichu is an original gen and has a cool design + nostalgia. On the other, Pachirisu ALSO has a pretty cool-cute design. Plus it got the honor of winning that one regional pokemon tournament a few months back.
Day 19! Favorite eeveelution.
Espeon's been my favorite since gen 2.
Pokeddexy day 18, favorite water type: Sharpedo
That's all for the type ones! Sharpedo's definitely my favorite water type. Sharks are cool, and it felt good to do a piece with a lot of pop to it.
Now I get to start working on favorite other categories o:
Day 17, favorite steel type
Mawile is a cutie and reminds me of Filia from Skullgirls.
Had to reupload cause I forgot something
I felt like making a gun drawing tutorial.
So, recently I hit 1500 followers on PV02! I wanna do some kind of celebration image, so I'm looking for suggestions and ideas!
Anyone got anything to suggest?
Pokeddexy day 16, favorite rock type
Aerodactyl's pretty cool.
Rocks aren't too much my forte, though, I've only ever trained/used 2 rock types in my life.
This also came to mind.
Look, the sweater is practical now!
Pokeddexy day 15: favorite psychic type.
Gardevoir is pretty, pretty powerful, and pretty hard to draw without looking sexual.
PSA: don't sex the pokemon.
A VERY LEWD DRAWING OF PIVOT WEARING ONE OF THOSE KEYHOLE TURTLENECKS (similar to the one she was drawn in before) AND BEING VERY RISQUE
THIS IMAGE IS VERY LEWD, VIEW AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. DOWNLOAD FOR FULL VERSION.
Pokeddexy day 14 is early cause I'm gonna be gone tomorrow! My favorite poison type is Drapion.
Pokeddexy day 13, favorite normal type.
Furret is cute
Pokeddexy day 12: favorite ice type
Not a lot to choose from, but Cloyster's pretty cool.
Bonus Jasmine. For Pokeddexy, favorite ground type
Pokeddexy days 9 and 10: Favorite ghost and favorite grass type.
I have a thing for ghosts, and Mismagius is my favorite of them all, followed by Trevenant. Since they're both ghosts and were side by side, I decided to do both their pics at once. o:
Gah, I feel like I should share this since I haven't yet.
This is kinda a secret atm. It's been one for a while, but it's basically a reworked version of an animation I did a year ago.
I've been waiting on the audio for months and it's finally going to be done soon. I've updated the animation a little as well since putting this WIP on Youtube.
This is basically the most recent work in progress and is unlisted for a reason, so keep it hush hush. BUT, if you've got any ideas or advice or changes that you'd suggest before the final product or questions or delusions of grandeur, I'm all ears.
(Also for those wondering what the content is, it's Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I'm an anime nerd fite me)
SAY MY $15 SUPPORTERS
Since there's only two of you at the moment it doesn't really feel right to raffle off anything so instead: would you two each like a sketch request? o: Even your OCs if you have refs for them are fine.
Favorite flying type for Pokedexxy.
This one's actually based on a friend of mine. She wears glasses and normally goes by Meg online so we call her Megane. ' v '
More Pokeddexy, favorite fire type.
Watch, within the end of this challenge I'll have 31 different pokemon drawn in 31 different styles.
So this is what came of that stream (or was finished in it)
Friend randomly brought up the idea of Mami as a dragon and then
streaming more
https://www.picarto.tv/live/channel.php?watch=Zedrin
Pokeddexy day 6 -- fighting type
I normally don't like fighting types, but Gallade grew on my after playing ORAS. I just wanted to kick Wally's ass with his own pokemon.
...I kinda like how this one came out. Might keep him as a permanent character.
Pokeddexy day 5: Favorite fairy
KLEFKI THE DRAGON SLAYER
I actually got a shiny one while breeding, so I wound up with a high-IV, suitable nature shiny who shreds dragons and legendaries apart. :D
THIS WAS A PAIN TO MAKE
It's animated, download to view.
Garchomp is my favorite dragon.
It's literally a shark crossed with a T-rex.
Umbreon's one of my favorite dark types. TANKY AS BALLS.
Pokeddexy day 1: Favorite bug? Ninjask
Most people play him as a support, passing a speed boost and maybe a sub or swords dance to a partner. I like using him as a hit-and-run truck.
Choice banded u-turn destroys things! It's glorious!
You guys will also get to see these a day early (if I have them done in time)
IT BEGINS
QUESTION!
I've been debating doing an art challenge for December. It'd involve drawing 1 pokemon a day, based on my choices in relation to a list (e.g., favorite bug, favorite fighting, favorite legendary, etc.)
I wanna do something more regular again (no this won't affect any update schedules), but the question is, should I do this challenge, or should I open up commissions?
GIVE ME YER THOUGHTS
There was gonna be more of a joke in here but I couldn't figure anything out.
Yay I finally updated though.
Twerking robot 4 u
You guys get the full sizes woo!
Also on tumblr: http://pv02.tumblr.com/post/102637818033/twerking-robutt-for-your-dash
As an animator and artist, i ahve the power to make anything. Worlds, universes, stories to move you and terrify you. Literally anything I can imagine, I can make real and perceivable.
i use it to make things like this http://gyazo.com/c1d6f58ac58fa416766996334d268499
Downloadable in the attachments! Still WIP, gonna be streaming the rest of its creation tomorrow.
it may or m ay not be kinda lewd depending on your perspective
I'm remembering why I stopped doing story-based blogs x 3 x
ANYWAY back to individual panel format. I'm too much a storyboarder rather than a comic artist, so individual panels just are more natural to me.
Boob jokes.
Full comic will be posted to the blog later today, if you want to read it in Tumblr format: http://pv02.tumblr.com/
Finally get to introduce a new character. This'll be posting to the blog soon.
Emery (or EMRE) is a fellow gynoidt also working at the cafe for some reason, and apparently can disguise herself.
Also her maid outfit is based on Stocking Anarchy's outfit just because I saw an opportunity and I took it.
Quick random draw simply because Stickinacan requested it and I thought "yes panties are good okay"
A small request by Andrew! Some Skullgirls ft. Pivot.
Squigly waifu.
Hey guys, for SFS I've designed a two-parter flash tutorial!
Part 1: http://youtu.be/b67gnyjqhuo
Part 2: http://youtu.be/p7ipSZ-G580
If you've wanted to learn Flash, check them out!
Anyone got any requests for me? I'll draw a few.

Most recent update from PV02. Full size is available for download as well!
WELP that wraps that up! The full size is Patreon-exclusive! Just click the download link on this post to access it!
Since I won't be here Thursday/Friday, I have to post this now, so you guys get to see it early!
You can see all of the cosplays individually at once as well here: http://pv02.tumblr.com/tagged/cosplay
Thanks for your guys' support!
Had to repost this since one image was missing for some reason and there was an error with another.
Since I won't be on tomorrow or Friday due to Youmacon, you guys get to see this early!
Pivot as Jinx from League of Legends!
This outfit actually requires her to be naked.
Behold, something other than Pivot!
October's coming to a close so the cosplay extravaganza will soon be ending and I'm gonna get back on with the story as well as other characters and artwork.
For now have a recent addition. Comes with a blank version so you can make her say whatever you want :D
Bust matters not.
What matters is I got to draw her with thighhighs AND bootyshorts simultaneously.
Just 6 more of these!
Robot girl cosplaying a robot girl who was the basis for another robot girl that the first robot girl was originally based on.
A robot girl cosplaying a robot girl. (Nano Shinonome, Nichijou.)
Pivot in a cosplay of Zero Suit Samus!
And then some. The images are transparent, but you may need to download them to see the transparency.
