DONT FORGET i’M LEAVING PATREON AT THE END OF THE MONTH AND SWITCH YOUR SUPPORT TO SUBSCRIBESTAR
I barely remember this game but I’m pretty sure this is how it was??
Also! Subscribestar is getting extra versions of this and extra drawings for the same price so please switch your pledge over before I leave Patreon at the end of this month! There is a link on twitter!!!
Also again REMINDER that I’m moving to subscribestar next month, and this page will likely go away! There’s already MORE up on SubStar for the same price, and additional tiers. So go switch!!!
Reminder! I AM MOVING TO SUBSCRIBESTAR AT THE END OF THIS MONTH!! Please look me up there and transfer your pledges if you’d like to keep supporting me, getting content, or both! There’s extra content and bonus images there!
PAYMENTS PAUSED
THIS PATREON IS PROBABLY ENDING THIS MONTH
DO NOT SUBSCRIBE IF YOU ARE A NEW PERSON!!!
I was hoping to resolve this BEFORE July's payments went through, but Patreon hasn't been very helpful or prompt. Which I'm taking as further signs they want me to "voluntarily retire." As such, I will continue to deliver this coming month's rewards, although some will be in limited capacity due to their sudden change of heart about me in particular, but then probably unlaunch this page. And I can only do this at THEIR leisure. This page might get suspended at any time! I am asking them to give me a month though. BUT BAIL NOW. If you have a pledge, move it to Subscribestar! Where I will be active for the time being! If you do not want to switch over, that is fine!
I don't think I can rectify Patreon's ambiguous selective enforcement. (My own OCs are inappropriate??? Cteno is an animal??? I can't draw her anywhere, not even here??? Other people can draw shortstack furry all day though??? If they make a lot of money??? I can't use other platforms??? Other services??? Suddenly at the same time they're doing merch fulfillment???), and I can't afford to delete my entire backlog of work all over the internet to appease them. Nor can I afford that and still be able to grow while having my income held hostage.
THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL OF THE SUPPORT OVER THE YEARS! But Patreon's refusal to enforce all of their guidelines evenly, and unwillingnessto allow income on other platforms is not longer something I can ethically live with. Let alone financially...
I am so sorry for this inconvenience, but I definitely feel we are no longer welcome here. And they are forcing me out by making using the site impossible to use, instead of outright removing me. Which, hey, they might still do. So again, switch to SubscribeStar, or at least remove your pledges!
Thank you all again for everything!

Please refer to my earlier post about platform switching, but I will continue to deliver rewards for a time!
I’m making this post against my financial judgement, but out of respect for myself and you all, who have supported me so much over the years. The large issue here on this platform is that they’ve recently attempted to exercise a scary amount of financial and public control over me. Keeping this site as my main source of income is no longer an option for financial AND personal reasons.
Essentially, under the modern Terms of Service here, “slugbox” becomes a “project” that belongs to Patreon. Meaning they reserve the right to dictate where slugbox can operate, where slugbox can make money, and how can slugbox can make money, and then hold my success here as a hostage. If I make ANY income here, they own EVERYTHING I do elsewhere as well. Obviously this is designed to prevent competition from other platforms, where I am obviously also active. This is... really ugly...
As per the rules, I do not directly link my other projects and never have, but I will be moving the VAST majority of my support system to SubscribeStar, as well as an idea to run my OCs over on OnlyFans. Might take on some commissions to fill the gaps...
The fact I’ve never linked these sites from here wouldn’t matter anyway. There was a conflict with a service I used back in 2014. Six years ago. The service isn’t ACTIVE anymore. The link was HENTAIFOUNDRY, which I haven’t even used in... years and years...?? That’s not even this same site?? Last year they flagged Cteno, my own OC, as inappropriate because she doesn’t have any breasts. It’s why I haven’t drawn her as much here. That... that’s no way to live... I’ve been happy to bend my work to the needs of any singular platform to achieve success, but I cannot stand for a platform demanding 100% loyalty and control, especially in a creative field, and even more so in an adult content field.
I’m doubtful of this post. I feel like I have a gun to my head and can only say nice things. If they‘re stalking my abandoned HENTAIFOUNDRY, of course they’re reading this. The past few days have been rough because of this. I do not feel able to communicate with you guys, my supporters who I love, ANYWHERE, let alone here. It’s a very “They’re watching” feeling. But this is no way to live or be creative, especially in a field like this. I feel like I have to lie to you all, and I have been forced to be uninformative as a result.
But I‘m saying it anyway because you all deserve to know the truth, and if possible it’d be good if you guys went to SubscribeStar and got rewarded before the month ticks over.
In an encourage-to-move measure, I’m going to drastically cut the content released here for the next month or so, assuming they let me stay, and then likely suspend this “project.” I can’t afford to just CUT it suddenly yet... But this policy is not something I can in good faith encourage. SubscribeStar will run as it always has, and you should move there if you can. I’ll have some revamped tiers there too while I’m making the best of this situation.
I just didn’t want you guys to be charged another month without knowing what’s going on. Thank you for all of the support over the years! I couldn’t ask to work for better people than you all. 2020 is really bad huh?
I definitely feel this is part of a purge of the midrange adult content. The big names aren’t going to have trouble yet, and the smaller artists aren’t worth going after yet... but here in the middle...?
Pretty scared right now, abandoning all I’ve built is... a bad feeling... but it’s the right thing to do long term. And I want to be honest with you all about it. You deserve that.

Alright!
Content rules change over the years and over time. This is normal. As happens, I've had a run in with my content becoming a little too, how shall we say, risqué for the current culture. That's normal, and it happens, and I'm happy to be both honest about it with you all and make changes for continued success.
SO BASICALLY TITTIES GOOD AND STAYING. PENETRATION NO LONGER.
AND THE VAST MAJORITY WASN'T PENETRATION ANYWAY SO IT'S NOT TOO BIG OF A CHANGE.
I don't want to change anything Tier wise in regards to QUALITY, but I definitely should take the chance to alter the CONTENT. That's good for us all.
The only tier that definitively offer explicit content is Tier 3. So I'm going to change that a little. Here's what I'm anticipating:
Tier 1 - This is the general support Tier, so that's not going to change.
Tier 2 - Will continue to offer pinups of of Fanart or OCs. No change.
Tier 3 - I am changing this to an additional pinup, but with higher quality, and always fanart. No more penetration.
Tier 4 - Will continue to be OCs by you all! No change!
Tier 5 - Will continue to be OC based, and the highest quality I can offer. Won't include penetration, but didn't always in the first place.
These changes should be visible shortly!
But the explicit stuff? I'm gonna have to drop that here. If you feel like you want out, that's okay! I thank you for the ride and your financial support. If you're new, I'M SO SORRY THIS IS HAPPENING NOW!!
The content I've removed from here I will release elsewhere, and then make amends to you all with extra content over the next month or so. I am sorry for the inconvenience and confusion. This is entirely on me for not being aware of changes, and wandering too far off course. And if the loss of the explicit stuff here is too much for you, that is okay! I am thankful for your support up to this point!!
As always, I will try and cultivate options all over the internet, but I follow the rules that any particular site lays down. And I thank the Patreon staff for approaching me calmly about it!
Thank you for the support over the past days, week,s months, and years everyone! Especially this year, which is an obviously rough one for us all. You can follow me on social media for other little updates about life and illustration.
Let's be productive out there!

I know she’s probably not saber but they’re all saber. And I do like blondes, bikinis, and really stupid outfits. And hats with visors oh god...
It was all old and now publicly released stuff, which can be found at any image board or most of my sites! But I like a tidy house.
Big demon monster boyfriend. That explosion was gnarly-cuga .
This is honestly a little tame? After a lot of sketching I found a pose I liked with the three of her and a hot dog, but I ended up channeling some different coloring methods, upping the resolution a TON, and decided to throw in a nice bikini version, so in the end, it’s a little light on adult content but this is way more quality so... I’m still happy! And it’s three times as many girls as usual so...? I should relax about it!
What if I just drew everyone with giant gorbborbs?
Just a day or two of exclusivity, but thank you guys for everything lately.
Took the high road this week and drew an actual pair of friends having fun instead of a bunch of faceless dudes or tentacles.
We have been blessed by BuxbiArts’ big tiger mom this week. We love sharks and we love tigers. 🐯 🦈
Tier 3 is up and good! This is obviously the most popular girl from the series, but if you think she’s the OG big titty goth jfc I am ancient
Just reply! Remember, Tier 3 is fanart!
I love her, tho she’s still second to Katie
Big fat tifatitties. I don’t know why people were upset five years ago. Her boobs like way better than the old ugly polygons and frankly way heavier. Tho the ones I drew are defying gravity just enough.
As promised, six extra tiddies this week. Next week is another OC week for Tier 4 supporters!
I really want P5R but I also don’t want to spend 120 hours on another playthrough JUST FOR SADAYO but also I do and it’s not like I have anything better to do under lockdown...
Bonus doodles will be finished and posted soon too! Ahead of schedule! Still gotta do Tier 5 this week.
Gonna do some OC doodles for Tier 3 this week.
At least two or three draws, just like Tier 4 usually is!. The standard Tier 3 reward will also get drawn, tho I’m continuing to pull from backlog suggestions for that.
But for now, hello Tier 3 people! Please link your OCs below. PLEASE just leave a SIMPLE imgur link and THATS it, no other text, so I can easily get everything! Remember, this is not a RNG game. Because that’s not allowed. I must legally pick. Rather, I’m happy to extend boobie draws to you all and why not draw from some of YOUR girls instead of just mine? Variety is good!
Okay, first one is done. Here’s the folder they will be posted at! I will update it throughout the week
Thank Diives for lending us tigers this week. This is the first week we’re doing OC content for Tier 2 in addition to fanarts. But I’ll make sure it’s always Guest OCs or your OCs. STAY CLEAN AND ISOLATED AND HEALTHY AND COOPED UP INSIDE DONT GO CRAZYYYY L:IKE MEEEEEE
It’s OC TIME for Tier 4
Give OCs. PLEASE just limit things to a simple link and no other text. Imgur works best. That way I can open everything at once! If your comment has other words or text besides just the link it really makes this difficult!
Has anyone else never actually SEEN a Granblue screenshot? Like I see the dating sim sections. And the thing people post that says I NEED HELP JOIN MY SESSION. But like... what kind of game is it actually? Like I know Fate is 2D side profile flash looking RPG. But what is Granblue? Aside from Versus. I know what that looks like.
Sorry it’s only the bare minimum three drawings this week. I usually shoot for four or five... Veterinary emergencies and a general difficulty in GENERAL LIFE has clogged up the schedule...
First off, I’ve cleared out a lot of old posts! I don’t like them piling up. Relax! Anything I cleared out has already had a public release. Any image board has probably picked those images up by now. And probably the unreleased stuff too but... I don’t get overheated about that.
Okay so every six months or so I reevaluate the process, offerings, and schedule here. As i (hopefully) learn more and am (hopefully) more capable, it’s important to make sure I’m producing at a productive AND comfortable rate both for my sake and the sake of my supporters. Which is you guys.
The question today is Original Content. Unlike this time last year, the vast majority of content I produce here is “original.” That’s either my OCs, your OCs, or guest OCs. The most popular BY FAR tiers as far as cash value is concerned are tiers that reward original content. And it’s fun! And cool. And good! At least, I like it.
I’ve especially come to enjoy Tier 4s drawings, which are simpler, but faster and more effective I feel. And I’ve experimented with bringing those over to other tiers on occasion.
Tiers 2 and 3 are the fanart tiers. One is pin up content, the other is more adult. I’m thinking or changing Tier 2 to a flexible offering. It would occasionally offer a finished Original Content pinup, instead of always fanart. I wouldn’t do any of my own OCs. Instead I’d do guest OCs from other artists or select from supporters. Remember, I HAVE to pick and curate. I cannot run a game of chance since that’s not allowed by law lol.
Tier 3 would remain the same as it is.
Is that something you guys are interested in or vehemently opposed to? I’m definitely LEANING TOWARDS IT, since it would ultimately offer more varied content. The fanart tier in general long ago became unable to appease the majority of users. That’s why we moved away from polls, since ultimately more people were LOSING than WINNING their polls. And that’s starting to happen again even with my curation. I think throwing in some OCs and guest OCs (which is kind of fanart still I guess?) would really vary things up.
Anyway have a good day everyone maannnn I’m just... waiting for AX to get cancelled at this point...
Is here in the weekly folder. It’ll be update with more as I go! Normally I try and do more than the required minimum or three, but this week is hell so far. Lots of animal and vet issues and life stresses and just... it’s a little messy! So this week will probably be the standard fare instead of me overshooting...
I’ll keep your OC in the folder for a month! But as usual, you can submit new OCs. These posts are also helpful for new patrons!! I’ll do one today, after getting through a second bonus OC for all tiers. I’ll stream that in a bit.
PLEASE KEEP IT JUST AN IMGUR LINK, NO OTHER TEXT! That way I can simply open and save EVERYONE’S LINKS AT ONCE!! If you add stuff like “here’s my OC she’s an OC and she OC etc etc” then the link might not work!!!! There are too many OCs to go and copy paste EACH comment’s link!!
Here’s the first one, and I’ll stream another one tomorrow before I get to TIer 4’s usual OC draws.
Okay give me your OCs. I’ll draw one titties out as a bonus for all tiers. Maybe two? Sometime tonight.
A simple imgur link works best. PLEASE don’t respond with anything else! JUST THE LINK. It makes it REALLY hard to open everyone’s link’s easily...
I won’t pick one for a few hours!
SUPPORTER EXCLUSIVE STREAM
Today, and this weekend, I'm going to be doing a few small drawings instead of a single major one for Tier 5. As usual, I'm going to stream some of it, although the final content itself is exclusive to Tier 5. However, I'm going to experiment with making the stream available only to you guys, at any Tier.
We'll see if anyone shows up, and if this helps build support in any way. It's really an experiment, more than anything else. I won't keep doing it if either nobody shows or I don't even make like a dollar or two lol
Here's the link to the stream:
https://picarto.tv/slugbox/b1d832cbb3f9ac8a34c3274388c60c52
You can go get seats now!
I'll be live in ten / fifteen minutes-ish! Just gotta set up a little.
NEAT!
Lots of versions this week. I call this one small angry saber. Which is different from regular 2000s saber, pasty saber, pasty school saber, big saber, and the other saber.
I have a lot of characters in the suggestion box still, although I’m always open for more. But I’m addition to that, hit me up with CONTENT ideas too. Like What KIND of nasty do you want to see, instead of just WHO is nasty?
Part 3. They’re in this folder! I’m technically finished, but I’ll try and do a few more this week! But Tier 2’s stuff first!
Thinking about doing another round of smaller drawings for Tier 2 this week instead of one big one butttttttttt let’s see what happens. What are your fanart requests? I will add to the pile.
Well, kinda part 2. They’re in this folder. I’ll update it throughout the week with more girls. I’ll also have a stream tomorrow afternooon with another! You can link your girls on this post, but if you’ve already linked them prior, they’re still good and stay good for two cycles of this Tier.
Alright, for those of you at Tier 4, this is an OC week, meaning I’ll spend the week drawing some of your OCs and putting them in this folder. You can link your OCs below! PLEASE for my sanity, just post an imgur link and that’s all. Please. That way I can just copy paste every link at once instead of just highlighting some of your text.
There’s already one girl in the folder, as Tier 5 got a leg up this weekend. For those of you at Tier 5, I’ll do another drawing from your prior links this past weekend! Although as it was a bonus little prelude to Tier 4, you can all go see her.
Get your fanart requests in!
Got a slow day, so EVERYONE at all tiers, link your OCs. I'll pick one or two and do a full lineart and coloring drawing for them!!
PLEASE keep the replies to JUST simple imgur links so I can just cut paste open EVERYTHING at once if possible!
Her smile is pure. This could use some cropping, but I’ve left it full version for you guys to crop as you’d like or if you use if for desktop things
ALRIGHT! SECOND GIRL IS DONE!
Here’s the folder. It’ll update as the week goes, although I’ll still make fresh posts for each girl.
Any Tier can contribute, but you need to be Tier 2 to get the draws!
Not sure if I'm going to do one extra nice drawing or a few cel style requests, so just uhhhhhh fanart request away! Generally if I do cel style then I can pick some more obscure girls to balance it out tho...
ALRIGHT! SECOND GIRL IS DONE!
Here’s the folder. It’ll update as the week goes, although I’ll still make fresh posts for each girl.
TIER 4 1/3
ALRIGHT! FIRST GIRL IS DONE!
I love her... Here’s the folder. It’ll update as the week goes, although I’ll still make fresh posts for each girl.
You know the drill. Link your girls below. For my sanity, please just use a simple imgur link and nothing else, so I can open every link with one copy and paste!
Okay! Here’s your open suggestion box for Tier 3! It’s fanart timeeeee just list who you’d like below!
The theme this week is big monsters. Although big is relative. So I guess the theme is any kind of monster from anything. I'll just... make it... animu tiddy....
All tiers can suggest!
BIG BONE HORN BIG BONE HORN
That's 3/3. I'll shoot for one more, but I still have Tier 2 to deliver and some personal things to work on. There's so many good OCs, I wish I could do all of them but I must remain REALISTIC and keep to our well evolved, maintained, streamlined, and REALISTIC processsssss
Bugs bugs bgus bugsbgusbgusbggsb milliperson humapede
There's only one drawing it in for now, but rather than wait for them all I'll have them up as I finish them. I should get at least one more done tomorrow, hopefully two. I was a little slower in stream today than usual. I'll post as they get finished, but they'll all end up in this folder!
Link your girls below! Remember, for my sanity’s sake, a simple imgur link and that’s all is the easiest to mass open!
I’ll do at least three, but I usually get up to four or five on these weeks
No theme rn. Too tired to think of one! Any fanart! Many options! Just leave your suggestions below!
Minty Green Succubus I went a litttle hard on this, considering I only meant for three simple cel draws? Not that I’m complaining. I think I found a nice balance.
Did things a little different this week, and started a series of cel draws instead of one fully rendered one. The first two are here! I’ll do the third this weekend, hopefully get up to four! This seems like a fun way to change it up sometimes when I’m feeling extra productive.
Alright! First off, this is an Open Forum for fanart. All Tiers can request, although access to the image is for Tier 2 and up. Request away in the comments below! I might experiment with doing a few cel shaded drawings instead of one big rendered one, similar to how Tier 4 works! Just a heads up.
SECOND OFF! Reminder to SAVE something if you like it! Most things go public after a month or two, meaning I don't have to keep links or posts up here anymore. As such, I periodically go through and DELETE THEM! I like a clean house. But as the descriptions say, you get access to all immediate and FUTURE CONTENT, not everything backlogged forever. It's all public after some time anyway, and you can find it with a quick google!
I’ve wanted to draw her for a long time, and I’m glad someone put her on the list!
TIER 3 OPEN FORUM!
Gimme the fanart ideas!!
Alright it’s been a rough... end of the year / start of the year. It generally hasn’t been a good week, and I took some much needed time to relax and get myself together. I don’t do this lightly, as y’all know I love to be on time and productive. But I needed it!
The only outstanding debt is Tier 2, which I could do tomorrow, but might take until Monday. We have company staying over in between their conventions, so the busy time isn’t stopping right away. But I just wanted to apologize in advance for the potential delay.
No theme this week. Just leave a good waifu. OOF IT'S BEEN A ROUGH HOLIDAY
Lord I fell in love with her like as soon as she showed up and I was like PLEASE DONT BE THE BAD GUY PLEASE but then she was a horrible horrible villain and I felt bad but I can’t stop and she’s better than Judy sorry.
We furry this week, since I try and keep the yiff in some rotation! So HMU with your favorite furry wives, although let’s remember to try our best to steer clear of Nontondo. I don’t mind dabbling every once in while but yeah.
Tier 2 Fanart Open Forum!
Who should we draw this week? I guess no theme again, although I'm building up a pretty sizable list of standing suggestions.
I should really flip the schedule, doing Tier 3 and 4 one week, and then doing 2 and five the next. But we'll see if we can get that going later.
Get your girls in. A simple imgur link works best! As usual, I'll do at least three this week, attempting to stream them if possible!
I guess it's the Ctenophorae cast since I didn't secure a guest OC this week! But I could do a drawing for any of them. Just let me know what you want them doing or wearing or... ???
TIER 3 - FANART OPEN FORUM!
No theme this week. Just gimme some waifus.
That's four for the week! Let's get to Tier 2 now. Usually I do Tier 2 first on these weeks but I felt like OCs first to warm up.
Here’s two to start! I’ll do a few more this week. If you already linked OCs prior, you’re good! You can also link OCs below if you haven’t already!
Keep in mind, the rewards for this Tier is access to these many titty drawings over the week, NOT the “chance” to get your girls drawn. This isn’t picking names out of hat and Three’s no “winners,” I’m just happy to draw YOUR characters for this instead of just my own. You all have GREAT characters! And drawing them helps us all out and have fun. I’m sure most of you know this, but I don’t want anyone to get the idea that they’re entering a game of chance or something here. I try to pick a variety of characters where possible and deliver you all the titty arts!
As before, I’ll pick at LEAST three colored OC Requests For Tier 4! Hit me up with your girls.
A simple comment only linking an imgur gallery works best! That way I can just copy everyone’s things at once! You can link multiple OCs!
Alright, this week hit me with only bad girls and villains. That’s the fanart theme this week!
Big Ctenophorae update for you Tier 5 this week. A big comic was fun versus a single super rendered image, and switching it up is good! There’s a full spread, a textless version, and some crops.
Since you guys get every tier at Tier 5, next week is a fanart for Tier 2 and OC REQUESTS again at Tier 4.
Hope you guys had a good Turkey time!
This is a bit of an ambitious one, so I might divide it into two pieces. If I could convince myself that I don’t need stress and overwork in order to post finished work as often as I can though, I would save time overall by just doing it all at a steady pace this week...
BUT! It’s a nice page regardless of how I go about it. I’ll have to do a few passes at these sketches, but for now I want to try and nap to help realign my sleep schedule.
ALRIGHT! Since it's busy this week AND a holiday, I'm gonna make the Ctenophorae update extra nice and make that the reward this week. Meaning a comic page! Which is better than one drawing.
I know the characters involved, being Scler, Rae, and Inc.
But as to the content, let me know what you want. I will work the activities into the update!
I've been meaning to draw her for a while!
As you all know, there's been a lot of changes in Tiers and rewards lately. I think everything is for the better though. I've abandoned cumflation as a REQUIREMENT for Tier 3, though as a fan of it PERSONALLY it'll still appear here and there at all tiers. This also means I can take the time to color nicer or engage in poses where it might not work out if it was a requirement. Variety is GOOD. Content requirements are not so good. as we grow!
Tier 4 is also leaning more and more towards an OC request Tier, giving you guys titties from your own girls to see. But the flexibility of being able to switch up to one really NICE image might still be helpful from time to time.
Generally, any changes made are to encourage variety and free up content, while only INCREASING the amount of images delivered so... Thank you guys for being patient while I adjust things! Life is also a LITTLE hectic lately but... more on that later. Maybe. Hopefully!
Also I'm going back to the old delivery system. Since I'm pretty fast and rely on the crops posted to encourage support here, cutting off content at it's delivery doesn't work as well as a model or animator who can hype the delivery for several days or weeks! However, I'll still be more active clearing out old posts here, so SAVE WHAT YOU LIKE AS IT IS DELIVERED!!!!
Good morning. It’s 420. AM. But I’m up so here’s your Open Forum for fan art this week!
I can’t think of theme... hmm...
So I guess anything flies? No theme.
Any tier has access to this forum now, I’m case you were wondering, but only tier 3 will see the results. I also might go back to the old distribution method. It works well for animation and models, since they hype something up for a long time before release. But I churn stuff out, so being unable to use completed work to advertise is a LITTLE difficult...
Here's three girls, which combined with Vao from earlier, means 4 drawings this week for Tier 4! More and more I'm thinking Tier 4 should just be like this every week? Who doesn't like OCs right? And the cel shading is a nice change of pace!
CHECK YOUR MESSAGE INBOX FOR THE LINK!!!!
Also, if it's YOUR OC who got drawn, then you are welcome to share them online and repost them. They're yours, after all. I won't post anything for a while!
Life has been... wonky this week... I wanted to deliver something specific for Tier 4, but it might have to be reworked and re-arranged. But we've been having good results with these OC Requests at Tier 4, so let's keep them going. I'll do at least three, full lines and color, and stream them tomorrow too!
Just leave a link below! Imgur works best!!
Big is in. This is one of TWO drawings this week!! Thank CoffeeChicken for letting us draw Vao today!
CHECK YOUR INBOXES FOR THE FILES! WE ARE ADOPTING THE SAME METHOD MOST ARTISTS AND MODELS USE!
HELLO EVERYONE! In an effort to more efficiently deliver content, I'm picking up the same method that most other artists and models use, which is direct messaging. This is more efficient than posting things directly. Trying to be more professional! You already saw the post about cleaning up old posts.
This is also dependent, however, on you saving this content. SAVE THE CONTENT. Patreon isn’t meant to be a repository gallery. It’s for delivering new content on a steady basis, not keeping a huge backlog of old things, which end up public anyway.
SO! I’ll send this same message a few times with content updates until you all get used to it, and then keep it just the content. Which, remember to SAVE. Because in order to combat leaks just a little bit, that link will change in a week or two.
This is one of TWO drawings for Tier 4 this week. It’s relatively simple, so I want to do more than one drawing for you guys. In fact, I’m considering just making Tier 4 ALL OC REQUESTS, with multiple drawings a week but… we’ll see.
In the meantime, thanks for being patient with the changes!!
ALRIGHT! With a backlog of hundreds of old art posts, old polls, old announcements, and old text posts, we were in need of a clean up! Which has now happened.
There's new icons, new names, new descriptions reflecting the new flexibilities in character selection, and generally a cleaner look. I'd rather keep things future focused then have lots of leftover things!
We continue on!!
Do not be alarmed. I’m clearing out a lot of old stuff that got publicly released already, and deleting old text posts and polls!
There’s literally HUNDREDS of old posts and they need to go.
Tier 2 Open Forum!
This week's theme is The Yiff. The Fur. The Anthro. Whatever you call it, you're all heckin' furries.
Get your furry waifus in.
OC REQUESTS PART 1
Okay! Three girls who are good!
I will do ANOTHER one of these before the week is out, with at least three more girls. Anyone who already linked their OCs on the prior post are still potential picks! You can ALSO link MORE OCs below, or link them for the first time if you missed the last post!
An imgur gallery works best!
If any of these are one of YOUR girls, then you're free to post them to social media. They're yours, after all! Otherwise it'll be a week or two until I post them!

I mistook Tier 2 and 3 this week. Tier 2 was LAST week. So I just upgraded the tier for the the MOST under appreciated Darkstalkers girl.
TIER 2 OPEN FORUM - Fighting Games
The theme this week is wishing you were still young and able to play fighting games. So comment below with the waifus you used to be good with... smh...
Also! Tier 4 this COMING weekend should be enjoying another round of OC requests, so if you want to upgrade to it, go for it!
ALC.Slingkinithingie
A nice little update just for Tier 5, since ALC got a few requests and I just drew Rae suckin dick over on twitter this week already.
Next week on Tier 4 I think I'm gonna do OC requests again! At least a few!
TIER 2 FANART OPEN FORUM!!!
No theme this week. Who do you want and what is she up to or wearing?
Tier 1 can now contribute to these polls, but will still need to be at least Tier 2 to see the results!
This was fun! I'm not going to do it EVERY week but... on occasion?
Also I love all three of them but monster girls with whiskers are a weakness....
If I drew YOUR OC this weekend ( there were six drawings between tiers 4 and 5 ) I'm giving you special permission to post them to your accounts, as they ARE yours after all. Thank you for donating them for this activity.
But otherwise, these we will wait a few weeks here until I post them around!
This was a bonus this week for you guys, but I’M ALSO extending it to Tier 4 this weekend too. There’s a fresh post right before this one to link your OCs in, just in case you missed out!
I’ll do a few more this weekend. If you ALREADY linked your OC before, don’t worry, you don’t have to post again! I’ll reference that prior post as well!
There's no way Brace, and last week Elesh Norn, would haver ever won any poll, so I'm thinking the new policy of just taking everyone's suggestions is working well. Not that I'm going to AVOID popular characters, but it's good to throw out some long overdue wins!
Went with some lighter deformation this time instead of the usual mega tum.
Did a couple versions for you guys! THANK YOU ALL!!!!
This week’s theme is blonde. Give blondes. Who is your favorite blonde?
It’s Halloween so I picked a spooky option... and added outfits...
I was the deciding vote and I voted shoulder speakers.
Honestly polls are getting harder to "balance." Obviously a poll is all about popularity, and in the end the MOST popular choice SHOULD win. That's just... how it goes... but I don't want it to be a landslide victory / loss where possible. But it's PRETTY hard to make an "unpopular characters poll." It's even harder to make a "sort of popular characters" poll.
Still... I feel like polls are good. But more and more I see artists moving towards just curating content on their own from suggestions, ensuring a wider variety of characters, time periods, sources, etc etc etc... That's something I might have to move towards in the future, especially if it means I'll be doing a better job on each image. Not that I don't try my best now, but obviously you do better when you love the character.
So... yeah... I don't know... We're getting a little big for polls... And statistically, MOST people DON'T see their favorites win, since the four losers each week add up to more votes than the one winner. That alone is reason to give the polls a second look.
People clamor for /character/ for months but they'll NEVER see them because there's NO WAY they'll EVER win a poll, yet EVERYONE would still ENJOY seeing them ultimately. But the polls prevent that.
Obviously the tiers still stay the same and on the same schedule, but with ensured variety. And it's not just like the variety of chest or butt size. You gotta think time period, character theme, colors, cultural relevance, etc etc.
As an example, and I don't know if you guys ever thought about this, but the fact that EVERYONE is a LITTLE FURRY means that usually any furry will win a poll, against anyone. So I usually keep all the furries together. But that means that I have to be careful about including like a Renamon level character, because they'll crush all other furry options... So now I'm forced to find equally renowned furries. Or equally unknown ones. And that's just ONE factor. You see the problems here...
Right now? I could just end the current Tier 3 Poll early and start drawing. It JUST went live and it's CLEAR Stocking is going to win, despite my best efforts to find competition for her. So in that case, when will these other four characters ever see a chance? If the next time they go up against another fifth option who is in the same "tier" as them, they'll just lose again. Maybe it's because Stocking is "Goth." Maybe I should have had a goth poll. But now we're going further and further down a hole of impossible balance, when I could have just said we're gonna satisfy almost EVERYONE this week by drawing Stocking in the sailer outfit, with a glasses edit, and then some upbeat girl from some slice of life anime.
Picking manually is looking to be a fairer option more and more, especially as we grow!
The higher tiers have gone over really well with me just picking from EVERYONE'S suggestions, ensuring I can get a good variety of content levels and source material week to week, while balancing several requests for content into one image. I'm really thinking that's the BEST way to go in the future!
But I didn't want to potentially drop this on you guys.
She HONGRY.
Also I’m on a tan line spree so....
Alright so... originally it was just one image... but it turned into a few, which i then decided to lightly arrange... but I had no like... plot or story or scenario so... I don't know... looks like some sort of Nellko blackmail situation? I don't know. She would do that.
SO! I left both a clean page and a page with blank bubbles for you to add whatever you want to it if you feel inclined. Not that this if for reposting, but maybe you're feeling personally dialogueishly creative. Enjoy.
But I mean... MORE image are better than ONE image, right? Bonuses.
You know, I should let YOU guys write the dialogue for this...
Theres an update in the folder with the flats. I should hopefully have colors all done tomorrow!
God she is SUCH a waifu...
Tier 4 has two more versions featuring a barely safe for the works bikini. I'm mean it's... it's doing nothing... and she's still riding so... Yeah... But if you'd like to upgrade!
Okay second tan girl getting it from behind this week but you know what? That’s Just how it is.
Also GO THANK ZANA!!!!
I finally got to draw her niceeeeee
i’m linking the whole Tier 3 folder for new people, and Nitocris directly here.
Theres a lot of versions of this oneeeeee
Lucky enough to have a guest OC this week!
Zana has donated good horns to us!

https://twitter.com/zanamaoria
We’ve been having a lot of luck with open suggestions for OCs, rather than strict polls which can be a little limiting. I can’t list EVERYONE’s ideas after all, since I don’t know them. So let’s stick with this again! Plus the results have been, well, better!
So suggest what to do with our demons guest girl!
AND THANK ZANA!!!
Added the best girl to the Tier 1 Draws folder! Just a bonus from last week.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hce8RVn98cz_7INbqwF_J_FnACR9aWs9
I MUCH prefer doing a good job on ONE OC than a bad sketchy mess on several.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sWvttmQY55DHbmoWpX-W_zfkv3TCVUqq/view?usp=drivesdk
This girl belongs to Magi! THANK YOU! I’ll do the fan art one tomorrow, and get the Poll up in a bit!
Here’s the full res of this week’s Cteno update! I’m gonna start uploading these here in big res. That’s a nice little bonus maybe?
Tomorrow I can finally get on doodles. Those will be public, but I’ll post the hi res ones here. The weekly fanart poll will be up toooo
Alright PLEASE READ THIS ALL FIRST.
My new schedule allows for more simple drawings here and there, which is nice! So this week I want to churn out an extra or two here.
So this is open requests!
OCs ARE allowed! Please drop a link! But! You must ALSO request a fanart character in your comment. If you don’t, you won’t be eligible. Why? Because otherwise it’s just all OCs, and I’d like to do at least one fanart and one OC!
No timeframe really. I gotta do a Cteno update and a Cteno drawing for the newest tier. Which I’m really excited about! But that’s not a one day drawing, so I can work on things in between!
Alright I wasnt rooting for Pao but she came out cute...
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10LcZMFjRb-VqxUo5250LTK7kxXSW7idN
Alright this worked well last month for sure. Let’s do some ALC art, since she is just sitting out on the beach atm. She’s not a NSFW character, but I don’t mind her in tiny outfits. TINY. Outfits. So give me some tiny outfits to put her in! You can make something up in the comments or link me a reference!
ALRIGHTY! Just a text post, but I've cleaned up the tier descriptions and images a little. Just cleaner, you know?
I also added a new tier at $50 for those of you who really enjoy my work a lot and have the income to spend on it! The tier basically doubles up Tier 4. So that means two drawings a week overall. I've learned a lot about what I can and can't keep up with, and this is the best option so far!
It's a relatively expensive tier. Most tiers of that price are for models and cute girls, but there ARE people out there who are have some income to spread around and this is an option for them! Plus it's something I can realistically keep up with, unlike some of my loftier goals. Which I'll save for the future I guess. Plus there's no harm in OFFERING the tier, instead of capping my potential support at $20. If even four or five people pledge, that'd make up the time invested in the tier. Once a single person pledges or upgrades, I'll put the first poll up for it!
And that's all for now. I had a bad poop halfway through writing this oh man... bad...
THIS ISN'T FULL FRONT OR EVEN PENNETRATONN SO IT'S STILL PURE SHE IS PURE. Honestly, it's not even the worst thing I've drawn her doing? I guess it's just kinda rare. Although this is presented a little less subtly compared to some old Ctenophorae updates. Or it is. Or isn't. I dunno. She and Vomi did it. I just cropped it good or zoomed in good.
Also thank you all for supporting me at this tier. I know it's pricey but these things are so fun to work on. I'm gonna be touching up the old Scler one a little for it's public release later, but I have some other things to work on today... and tomorrow... Busy week! But good busy!
pure girl cteno She's in the Ctenko folder. That's the link for the whole Tier 4 folder for new people! THANKS NEW PEOPLE!!! and everyone!!
Rearranged the Tier 1 Folder. It now has a section for Sketches (where today's doodles are located!) and the old backlog of Pin Ups from days gone past. Enjoy them, new people!
I'm posting this now, but the Pin Ups might need some time to sync properly. The sketches are all there though!
lined up some doodles all nice for this one!
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-9HwBlapqDvpBfnmqrVcri8hItI-Xkji
Sometime in the afternoon, EST!
But get your OCs in now!
REPLY IN THE COMMENTS WITH A SIMPLE IMAGE LINK TO YOUR OC.
JUST THE LINK PLEASE OH GOD BECAUSE I HAVE MANUALLY COPY PASTE THEM ALL.
JUST THE LINK.
TO AN IMAGE.
IMGUR IS THE BEST.
NOT TO A GALLERY OR SOME OC ARCHIVE SITE. I AM NOT GONNA SIFT THROUGH THAT.
NOT A BACKSTORY.
JUST THE LINK TO AN IMAGE.
See you guys tomorrow!
Instead of the normal me presenting you guys with options, let’s open this up to a public forum.
Any of my OCs doing anything. What do you want?
If it’s an OC I don’t own but that the Ctenophorare cast regularly interacts with, that’s an option too. I’ll try and get permission from that artist.
I'm gonna rework Tier 1 into the doodle and sketch tier after these last request streams are done. I think that's the true and final answer to the Tier 1 Journey? I also added some random sketches from other tiers, which you should be privy to since they're unfinished. But yup! Three more streams to go! Might do one tomorrow, but if not, then Saturday!
Gonna start catching up on the streams I owe!
Not sure EXACTLY what time... but... post your requests below!
Gotta be honest like... if you send artists to some toyhouse or whatever it's called where they have to click around to find your OC in galleries with backstory like... no... just gonna... not even bother... No time for that.
A SINGLE REFERENCE!
Fanart is easy tho just request all of that that you want.
BACK ON SCHEDULE, except for the request streams, which I'll do most of this week!
Don't forget, it's MULTIVOTE!
It came down to a tie, which is RARE, but in these cases I am the deciding vote and I voted Darkstalkers because demon girls.
CATCHING UP ON STUFFFFFFf
I'm sick with post con grossness, and haven't drawn regularly in two weeks, but butts are always good.
GETTING BACK ON SCHEDULE!!! It'll take a bit to get comfortable again, but I'm excited. THANK YOUE EVERYONE!!!
Alright let's get these run, so I can get started on them while we play catch up! It's Evo, so let's run some fighting times.
Multivote is on as always! But don't forget that NOT voting during multivote is JUST as important as VOTING.

OKAY...
As the titles states, this is my ONE day off between conventions. AX and Otakon are done. However, I'm still making an appearance at the final Bronycon in downtown Baltimore this weekend. I won't have my full presentation, though I'll have everything that's still unsold with me! I also will be barely conscious, and VERY tired. But it's literally downtown. I can't pass up a small / mids / wildcard size attendance convention that's DOWN THE HIGHWAY. 10k isn't huge attendance, but it's worth going to given the close proximity.
But let me summarize what I still owe you all. The downside to running a weekly reward Patreon is that often I miss things due to insanely busy schedule. Yes, I could draw today. But no, it would not be good because I'm exhausted and still prepping a little.
SO...
OWED, TO BE DELIEVERED IN AUGUST:
And... wow that's not much tho. Whew. Writing it out helps frame the situation some! I was panicking.
Thank you for being patient with me. There's been a LOT to do and I'm taking this SINGLE day to relax and recover. I can't even talk well since I definitely have some Con Cold. You guys are awesome and good and I'm so so so so thankful.
Once things are caught up I have some good updates and makeovers to do. But I really don't want to just LEAVE you guys hanging in the unknown!
I rest now. I need coffee.
Two cons down, one to go. I’m exhausted but doing good. I’ll compile the IOU to you guys later tonight. I JUST got in the door though, and need to spend some time with my real life waifu!
Well this came out cute

The Second OC for this month is magical round artist Saane's Paz
REFS OF THE ---> CHOMPERS.
I guess it's a teefers month...?
This is actually a SFWish poll! Paz is a sweet girl. Multivote is on too.
While you're all here, for those of you new, here's the Tier 4 Folder thus far.
We have been blessed with Liche's permission to draw the best toothsome girl ever.
T E E T H P L E A S E .
HODGE PODGE POLL HERE. No theme except I'm super swamped lol
Multivote is on. As always. Why is always on? Probably because it gives you guys a better chance at getting at least ONE girl you like to win. Plus, while I do my best to prevent true landslides (and frankly feel I do a good job generally!), there isn't much difference in outcomes between Single Vote Polls and Multiple Vote Polls.
So... Multivote away!
About halfway through con season. I still have Otakon coming up in late July, and I WILL be at Bronycon the week after. It's right downtown, so it's worth going to since there's no travel involved!
But let's talk about Patreon because... uh... well we're here on Patreon!
Here's what's on my schedule to do before Otakon:
Those are all on schedule!
Here's what's currently delayed:
Tier I still needs some reinvention. I realized that my plans to revamp it further just put it BACK into what it ORIGINALLY was, which was a little too much on my schedule. So I still have to think. It's hard to quantify rewards a single dollar level!
For now, I appreciate everyone's patience with it. I need to prioritize conventions and the big tiers at the moment. Conventions ESPECIALLY! When everything is over, I can give it proper attention. So still, thank you so so much for sticking around those of you at the single dollar tier.
It's just gonna be a LITTLE messy until August. Anything that is delayed will be caught up then! My conventions are all literally in the same single month. Which is hard to be flexible around!
Okay back to prints nowww....
Back from AX. Super Tired. But Let's get the poll up. This is for LAST weekend, which I missed during my California adventure!
Fate Poll since it's FULL of girls.
Multivote is onnnnn
I'll make a post about what's going on with Tier 1 tonight. I must rest.
I’ll have a poll for LAST weekend and new updates tomorrow when I’m back home!!
Alright so I'm leaving for AX tomorrow night / Wednesday morning. Gonna be a very sleepy flight!
I'm ALMOST done prep. The final prints are coming out of my printer now. You can catch me and Redrabbu at both C5??? It's fifty something. I forget. That's how busy I have been...
Patreon is mostly on schedule. Tifa finished earlier this weekend. So there's nothing on my table right now. I'll launch the next poll sometime this COMING weekend while I'm in LA, and then finish it up when I get back midway through NEXT week. Putting me back on schedule. Until Otakon...
BUT I have some questions for you all! As you all know (maybe), due to convention prep, we did not do the Tier 1 request streams this month. I'll double up for the month of July.
However, since we've been doing these streams for a bit, and I've had time to play around and see the results, I want to state that they suck. I'm not being defeatist! The results are BAD! By the time I'm warmed up, the stream is over. I can't do them longer because I have other obligations. So by the end we've got a couple ugly drawings... and... that's not really... worth it?? They aren't even usually posted because frankly they aren't good sketches.
So I think I'm gonna change this tier up again maybe. Let me pitch this to you all: Instead of two three hour streams a month with "limited" quality and results, I'll keep an open OC link post each month, and draw one or two OCs a week, but FULLY LINED AND COLORED. Overall, the percentage of OCs drawn is NOT gonna really change, but there will be much better drawings since I don't have to rush to fit them into a three hour scheduled inflexible window.
So instead of crappy headshots and ugly doodles that could honestly be ANYONE's anime/furry OC, there will be nicer colored pieces that I can work on between other jobs and things.
They only real loss here would be the "entertainment" of me being miserable on stream for six hours a month. And it's not like I couldn't stream these anyway. So... this isn't really a loss.
So let me know what you guys think of this. I DO think it's a better option honestly. The request streams are rushed, largely unproductive, and don't yield much in the end. This would reward the tier a LOT more. Even if it's not your OC (which statistically it won't be), you'll get nice art at least! Instead of... ugly...
Moo moo limit break. I missed cel shading.

GUESS WHO MEANT TO DO THIS AT PRINT RESOLUTION BUT TOTALLY DIDN'T...
Me...
SIGH... Maybe I'll redraw it big... ugghhh...
Alright so I'll be vending three cons this summer.
Anime Expo is massive and VERY soon.
Otakon is big and pretty soon.
Bronycon is small and kinda weird, but it's literally down the road so if I have the chance to go, I do. And it's not for a while. I'm also not really prepping for it, but will be there vending things that didn't sell during AX and Otakon.
But with AX rapidly approaching, I wanted to be very forward and honest about the schedule, which may get a little crazy. I RARELY miss my weekly deadlines here. But I'm asking everyone to be a little a flexible during the weeks between Anime Expo and Otakon. I'll be on both coasts in a short amount of time, and I'm still scrambling to get things ready in time.
The things that are most likely to get pushed around are the $1 Tier request streams. The two for this month, June, may get rolled into July. I don't want them to, but it's very likely. I'm hoping that weekly polls won't get disrupted much. Luckily and I can usually double up and turn poll winners into prints, so that helps. But during the week of AX, I'm going to play it by ear. Worst case? Poll rolls back a week or two and you get double polls one week.
I still also have the TIer 4 things to work on, but that's coming along. I'm just REALLY a little stretched out right now, so I wanted to let you guys know that I won't forget anything or skip anything. At worst, polls may skip a week and double up the next week, While the request streams may roll into next month, doubling up in July.
Just didn't want to leave you guys hanging!
THANKS EVERYONE!!
I’ll have an update about stuff tonight, some of the request streams MIGHT have to be delayed until after AX, but i’ll Let you guys know what’s going on!
This week’s theme is Kemono Friends because animal girls are good, and we’ve been doing a lot of “popular” character polls lately. Granted that’s how I stay in business because popular things make money and polls determine most popular things but... Animal girls...
Multivote is on as usual.
Avoiding the Nontonado hound dogs so....
“We resemble but are legally distinct from....”
It’s a SINGLE vote poll this time!
I’ve been blessed by https://twitter.com/ashiisaurus with permission to draw the best girl.
https://twitter.com/ashiisaurus/status/1084891651057901568?s=21
So pick your theme!
Also thanks Ashi what’s up dude sorry we never get get Thousand Voices
Went a little back to some tone stuff. SORT of happy? I think I am. It's also super high resolution. In fact, I left these at the print resolution for you guys so you could see. It was a little experimental. Tried a few things, mostly with lines. I though a relaxed sketchy look would save time and look effective but I didn't end up feeling it. Maybe I should have stuck to cel tones.
I think I'll come back to it and some other things later this month tho to touch things up for cons. I'm in the home stretch, and thank you all for being patient.
TOMORROWWW ISSSSS... I have a sticker job for Meowri, and then I have to compile ALL the charms for printing and stuff. That'll take a whole day since I want to revisit the back sides for all the 2018 charms too.
And then I don't know what? Sort of freedom? Kind of. After cons I can do Cteno updates again... AX is soon...
JUST... VeRY BUsY...
MULTIVOTE IS ON AS USUAL SO VOTE AGAINST THE GIRLS YOU DON'T LIKE. There's a lot of variety here so... variety poll.
I was gonna have a N0nt3nd0 poll but you know what? Let's avoid that with their overzealousness lately. I'll do a bonus when I get the chance with something pkmn related.
So let's have a Runner Up poll from past recent polls and give them another chance. I think XJ9 won something like a year ago, but that was for another tier. And was SUPER long ago. So she's fresh.
Thanks for being patient with me during con prep. In August once EVERYTHING is calmed down I'm gonna do a nice revamp and get you all some new rewards and better organization and scheduling. Not that I'm behind schedule but... I could offer more.
I love this Saber. I don't know much about Fate, but this outfit on this Saber is everything. There's a few versions for you this week. I'll also have this in print from once I find the time to do some heavier edits into a bikini version.
The Whole Tier 2 Folder, for new people. If you're new, welcome!
Multivote is on! So multivote away! Adjust your votes to influence the meta. And debate gacha waifu value amongst yourselves.
Voila!

Stuck with headshots this time. Still not SUPER happy with my speed and quality on these, but I’m happy to keep working on it. That being said, how would guys feel if we did one with only two or three doodles, but with lines and colors too? Just out of curiosity!
A little short on notice but man the con prep... LINK YOUR OCs BELOW!!!
Imgur gallery is best.
Live in 20 with fernybee!
Last year I did Kneesocks for the old single dollar poll, so this time I wanted to do her other form. Or standard form? I'm not sure. Both are perfect. She's in my top ten waifus like... oh man...
I want to do Stocking for a print for cons but... man... charms first. CON PREP FIRST. CHARMS FIRST. Maybe I can do a Stocking one?
There's a few versions this week, and you can make your own with the source file!
Been WAY busy, so thank you all for being patient, tho I am on schedule... oof... con prep...
I’d like to at least reward everyone for their patience in some small way tho, so I’m gonna keep Felicia here on Patreon for a bit versus public, at least until cons start in a month or two! Today before I can do anything else I have to put an order in for all my Dakis this summer. Which is a lot of thinking and writing so yeah...
After that is the Tier 3 Kneesocks, who magically beat Stocking by the tiniest margin??? I’m... frankly surprised... hopefully I can finish that tonight, but if I don’t, I hope blue cat will slate some of you for another day!
So heck guys, thank you all for your patience and support oh man

I've hesitated running this poll since I think I know who is gonna win... Especially since I always leave multivote on. And polls with clear winners are something I TRY to avoid. But at the same time, popular characters are how you make money. And I mean... if they're popular then MOST of you will be happy. Polls are literally for the most popular character as deemed by the people.
Anyway. I've put this poll off long enough so here it is.
Do you think Stocking needs like a percentage debuff...? Maybe that's unfair. I don't know. Team Kneesocks. But that's just me because glasses...
Is finished! First off, thank you all for helping me out on this one. Merch is rough to fit into an already hectic schedule. Things are starting to open up though!
Ideally I can put in the order for all the dakis this summer on Sunday. I'm HOPING to. I would VERY much like to update Shuten's daki a little bit. And maybe even Gardevoir's... But we'll see. Gardevoir probably just needs some facial adjustments? And IF i have time then MAYBE I can do one MORE daki...
But The latest I can push back the order is Tuesday so... Yeah...
ANYWAY. Here's the files. These are a little resized since I can't have the SUPER printable resolutions out in the wild. But there's a titty version, a barely SFW version, and the source file!
Lemme go get the Tier 3 Poll up and then... See what String is doing? Maybe we can watch a movie on the couch while I investigate Shuten's source file.
Tried two different things this week. MOST importantly, I just some WAY thicker than usual lines. Second, I used flats instead of a lot of tones.
I think ultimately it's a WAY better look for me lately, but I also don't want people to feel like they're being cheated because it's theoretically "less work" than fully blending and painting a drawing. I do want to stick with this path, since I think not only is it better looking, but once I get a better hang of it I'll be able to draw MORE than I do now. And I'm already fairly productive!
Or maybe you don't care about all of that and renamon suc dik because that's also important!
The yiff has not gotten a win in a few weeks.
MULTIVOTE is on, as usual. So really it's about who is the LEAST popular and UNVOTED for
PATREON IS BACK UP!
OKAY! This was the first one of these so let's review.
Three hours is a good chunk of time. I don't think any longer would really yield any more results. However, still, "only" four requests were done. Not only that, but I obviously take some time to hit my stride. Each drawing looks better than the last. This isn't really AVOIDABLE I guess though? Even if I "warmed up" before hand, I would still want to draw SOMEONE's OC at least. SOMEONE is gonna end up with the "first draw." And even then, three hours is long enough for me.
Still, I initially felt a little bad, and still do. But I also need to remind myself, and WAS reminded by my fellow streamers, that that's enough. OVERrewarding the lowest tier was what got me into a schedule issue in the first place. And even if I did TEN TIMES as many drawings, I still wouldn't even be SCRATCHING the surface of the overall requests submitted. I basically matched Rabbu's pace too, and I'm WAY out of practice on these kinds of streams. I shouldn't overshoot. I CAN'T AFFORD to overshoot.
So... I'm going to call it a success still. I need to remind myself that this is a little cheap entry bonus! Not a fully illustrated super tier that always delivers content of the highest quality I can deliver. Plus the stream was fun, and I think that has value too.
So... yeah... This post is mostly for myself to explain to myself some things. But I feel it's good to include you guys in the thought process!
Here's the drawings that got done! SEE YOU GUYS IN A WEEK OR TWO FOR ANOTHER ONE OF THESE!!
ALRIGHT! This is a fresh, top-of-the-page post for you guys at all tiers to link your OCs if you haven't already.
If you've already linked your OC on another one of these posts, you're GOOD already!
If you're a new player, hello. Welcome. Thank you for the money. God I need money. But who doesn't...?
The stream will go live in about 30 minutes and go for at least 3 hours. ( https://picarto.tv/slugbox ) I will be joined by Redrabbu and Fernybee, who will also be doing similar streams! I think. I know Rabbu is at least? Fern is a wild card.
This time let's do Evdokiya. She's always been right at the edge of blatant H content. So this one isn't going to be FULL NASTY, but I'll go as far as I dare. Let's promise at least one boob for you all.
I'd like to OFFER and idea though, If you guys so vote, I can devote some time into upgrading this into a printable Dakimakura for her. I could sell it at cons and online then.
A daki is way more work than a normal drawing, but I'd save some time by also having it be part of the Tier Four work this month. Then I could squeeze it into my schedule.
As usual you'd all get the source files, but I mean... It's a little less exclusive since the image will be shared and posted a little earlier since... well... it's a piece of merchandise lol. I'll just put something over her dokidokis on the public posts. And probably do an edit for the printed versions. A daki kind of requires vertical standing / laying poses, and it'd kind of necessitate that her school uniform be a part of it. That being said, you'd also get two drawings of her since it's double sided. And some people consider dakimakura drawings a fetish point in and of itself anyway. And it's gonna get censored anyway so... It's an okay option to add here.
Actually... I could have just a FEW nip versions made and sell them at discount here on patreon? Maybe? Let's see what you guys vote for. I don't mind taking some risks with this tier since you're either a little wealthy, a little generous, or fans of the characters!
But the other choices are also good! It's up to you guys. Regardless, you still get exclusive adult content early and Evdokiya dokis.
And again, it's MULTIVOTE so... I'll let you all decide what to do!
ALRIGHT! I’ve had a busy few days. I had HOPED to have the stream today, but that’s not really gonna be an option. I’d also like to have ONE day to finish some personal and convention related things tomorrow, so the first of the two monthly request streams will be this Friday, the 17th. It’ll be sometime in the mid afternoon, Eastern Standard Time.
It will also last for at least three hours! I’m not sure how many I’ll get done. I guess it depends on whether it’s headshots or figures? Hmm... but I want to keep options open and just see how this first one goes. We can learn from it and make improvements after!
You don’t have to be present to have your character drawn! If you dropped a link on the prior request stream info post, that will suffice! You can also link them in this post if you haven’t already. I’ll only be picking OCs from you patrons!
I mistake her for Astolfo a lot because they have the same hair.
I never gave much though to her reproductive activities but....
Y’all mind if I overachieve on this one...?

Guess who's on schedule! ME! But just barely... With con prep, lingering commissions, some social obligations, and a few other things going on, I'm right on time. But I like some wiggle room in my daily and weekly life and I don't really have that at the moment, so I'm little uncomfortable.
Still, thank you for being patient. For new Patrons, welcome!! Generally, weekly polls happen between Thursday and Saturday, with content delivered Monday. The Tier Four drawings are two per month, but are not necessarily SCHEDULED, even if try to schedule them! So sometimes it's two late in the month or two early in the month.
In more EXCITING news...
The first REQUEST STREAM of the month for the revamped Tier 1 is happening next week. I'm shooting for Tuesday! But it might be Wednesday. I'll let everyone know beforehand though. In preparation for this, all of you are invited to link your OCs in the comments below! IMGUR galleries are best, but whatever you like will work! I'll try to pick a variety of OC sizes and styles for the stream. As such, you're welcome to link as many OCs as you want.
I'll only be drawing OCs linked in this post, and OCs linked in a post that will go live at the time of the stream!
THANKS EVERYONE
THIS WEEKEND AND LATELY HAS BEEN JUST CRAZY SO THANK YOU FOR BEARING WITH ME.
It's been a few months since we had a Fate Poll, and the Fate girls are always in season, so let's go. Doing themed polls now and then also ensures that OVERALL there is a variety, and prevents any specific thing from dominating weekly!
Multivote is on so... vote away!
Alright this week it's Scleriteaeaggadah... I mean... Larry's turn...
With tumblr lost to us forever, it's hard to find a great wealth of easily accessible refs for Larry, even though most of you at this Tier probably know her. E621 managed to snag a few pictures of her though! In case you're unfamiliar with her!
Despite being pure being I've never had much trouble running her through the wringer so... take your pick!
It's also multivote so, multivote away!
Alright It's time for anime figures.
I'm gonna follow my personal tastes more in regards to proportions and stuff... It comes out better not trying to force tall girls when it's just not what I'm about or you're here for. Cute. Hentai. Girls.
Alright. Let's talk! I really don't like entities and companies and artists changing policies without explanation, so I'm gonna do my best to be totally transparent, honest, and explanatory!
Tier 1 is not lucrative. It's just not. It has the most patrons, yes. It has a little less than 50% of you. But it's easily the LEAST lucrative overall. Keep in mind, the other Tiers are worth up to TWENTY times more per patron than Tier 1. In addition, times have changed. Most Patreons? Content starts at $5. Mine it starts at $1. That's not a big difference in the money in your pocket, but overall? Hundreds of people? 500 is a lot bigger than 100. I need to be financially aware of this and I am. Frankly, I'm undercharging. I hate that word because it implies I'm raising prices just to raise prices. But I really need to change things up.
It's a weekly obligation that I could do without. I'm short on time. I want to explore new projects and jfc i WANT TO HAVE TIME FOR MY OCs AGAIN! Success is good! I'm happy for it! THANKFUL FOR IT. But it's important to re-evaluate that success and how I can grow.
So here's what's going to happen. The weekly poll? It's going away. In it's place, Tier 1 will now offer access to bimonthly Request Streams. These will offer fanarts AND original characters. YOUR characters. The streams will each be at least three hours long each. I'll likely take the requests from posts here on Patreon where everyone can link their OCs ahead of time and during the stream. THIS MEANS YOU WILL NOT NEED TO BE PRESENT TO FOR YOUR OC TO GET DRAWN.
I want to keep them freeform, because one thing I've made the mistake of in the past is rigidly promising things that turn out not to be conducive to schedules, my mental well being, or my paltry creativity. BUT I have finally figured out how to offer requests. It's only a dollar which gives me flexibility, but will ultimately offer more drawings monthly than the current polls do. That's more content.
Having this extra free time weekly means I'll be freed up to make the other tiers better, and most importantly, draw my OCs, doodles, and other things free. Remember when I would take requests on twitter? Get THREE drawings done? That was nice. I don't do that anymore though, do I? It takes a day of waiting for the poll to finish, and then it must be finished to a very specific standard. And then it has to be hoarded here for a few weeks.
Little things like that are why the Tier is changing. I want and frankly NEED to get back to being able to explore my options and time. And changing this up is one simple way to give me just a little more time each week and month. So... That's what's going on. Ultimately I think this is a boon in overall content available at the Tier. Tt's different, but frankly, I can't afford to operate the same way forever. Things change! And in order to keep offering everyone better and better content, I need to change things up sometimes.
Sooo.... That's what's changing! It's changing RIGHT NOW. Next month is May, and the tiers are going to change up as soon as I post this. So... yeah. If you don't agree with these changes, I'm sorry. Really. I don't think it's a BAD change. A single dollar isn't a lot, and at that low amount, I'd take doodled quantity and doodled variety over a single colored image... The only downside I can think of is that your OC might not be chosen. That being said, the odds before this change were zero sooooo... Yeah. Plus everyone has been clamoring for request streams, and this is the only Tier cheap enough I feel comfortable offering something so freeform.
But I know I can't make EVERYONE 100% satisfied when changing things up. So I hope you guys stick around!
TLDR: Weekly $1 Tier Poll is gone. Now it's Bimonthly Request streams for your OCs. All other Tiers unaffected.
Thanks for your support everyone! You guys are the absolute best.
Okay you guys help me decide. I want to use this as a print but you guys can help me decide here. The poll is NOT a FINAL selection but I‘d like some input and get an idea Of where you guys stand.
There’s two sketches. They’re both in this folder! Take a look! I’m partial to the horizontal one since it’s a more exciting but... yeah.
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/10jwze_HeGkLX5b73YrKPTnBJ22pqlGVd
i’ll close the poll in a few hours before I start streaming!
robot rock
Multivote is on!
LET'S ROCK AND BY ROCK I MEAN VOTE FOR ABA lolthat'snotgonnahappensigh...
Dizzy is excluded as she won a poll several months ago. Multivote is on.
Okay so as I was just talking about on twitter. Tier 1 polls are hard. Statistically there are more supporters here than any other tier. But it’s also the LEAST financially valuable tier overall. So I don’t have a lot financially at stake by “disappointing“ people with choices. But I also personally like you all so... I don‘t want to pick things everyone doesn’t know. I want your favorite to win. Even though that’s not how a poll, by definition, works/ And I like to keep the poll results close if possible... so it’s always hard to pick options...
But I’m accepting that ultimately, this is the Tier where it’s okay not to please EVERY SINGLE PERSON EVERY SINGLE TIME. So I’m gonna move it more towards themes like they’ve been lately, for example, here’s girls from this specific show or game or whatever, even if they aren’t all balanced popularity wise. It also means I’ll get to personally relax a little by having more of a choice in what it is, even if it’s something less popular. Since realistically, I should have the most popular characters who can win against any show or content duke it out at higher tiers. And we can have more specific fun at this level without worrying about it being all the popular waifus. That’s just... being realistic and practical you know? gaahhhh
Anyway like we did with Granblue last week, I’m gonna pick something that has been on polls, but hasn’t gotten any wins against the popular girls, which is Girls Frontline. Which, like Granblue, I know like NOTHING about. But it’s popular, cute, and people always ask for it. But it’ll never win unless it gets its own chance to shine. So here it is. And at only a dollar, it’s still nice boobies for everyone in the worst case scenario, which is that they don’t know anything about it. Like me!
Let’s double up and do them both
I still love pon but i’ll deny it
lots of alts on this one too!

also some alt versions and colors
OKAY! So there's two drawings monthly at Tier 4. Cteno is already done, but as I said in my announcement post, I also want to take the time to draw OCs from other artists and associates too. Sharing (and promotion (and titties)) is caring after all.
So the second drawing is gonna be RedRabbu's best girl. I'd pick one of her furry OCs, but Cteno already one and she's mostly furry I guess. So we're going human. For these I'm just providing you guys with folder access for the whole process so that's the link. Rabbu has been kind enough to allow for ANY level of content, so I'm gonna let you guys vote on that below.
So vote!
As USUAL, all tier 3 polls are multivote sooooo vote away a lot! Or vote against an option by not voting.
Bless this girl and thank you all. Next poll will be a guest OC!

My favorite drawing of Cteno is an old print, but it’s a few years old and aging. So to start this tier off I’m gonna revisit the pose with nicer art. Because you know, I am gooder at draw now. Sort of. AND with moo cow. A nice new main image!

Alright you guys are gonna have to make hard decisions here in this western yiff poll. In order to counter some of popularity discrepancies, it's SINGLE vote this time!
Woops made it multivote oh well
In regular news...!
Alright soooo as we've discussed in streams, there's now a Tier 4! It focuses on my OCs and guest OCs, and is two drawings a month, just like Tier 2 and 3.
It's as graphic as the character will allow, so for example, if it's Vomi, it would be anything goes. But if it was Rae or ALC, it might be more reserved. But it'll be as far as I can go! It'll also have guest OCs on occasion. Rather than voting on characters, you can vote on the theme of the drawing.
At $20, it's a sort of pricey tier. I'm not a hot cosplayer or anything. But anyone willing to pledge to this tier MUST be a fan of me, so I feel comfortable offering my OCs for this one. It's not always going to be as crazy as Tier 3 (it will sometimes tho), but the point is really to find a way I can also fit my own characters into my schedule more, while rewarding people who can support me.
Since it's OCs, I also don't think people will feel like they are missing out on their favorite fanart waifus or anything if they can't drop the cash on this tier. But I know there's a market, and I love my OCs and want to afford the time it takes to draw them more and reward people at the same time, and keep you guys all involved in the process. So this is what I've come up with!
It's an option! More details are up on the main page, which has been updated to reflect the tier.
THANK YOU ALL FOR EVERYTHING, REGARDLESS OF YOUR TIER OR PLEDGE AMOUNT! YOU GUYS ARE THE REASON I CAN DO WHAT I DO!!!!
THANK YOU ALL SO SO MUCH!!
IF anyone pledges to this tier! Let's start with Cteno. She's the main girl and my best girl.
Cteno doesn't get pushed into graphic penetration, but you all know I'm willing to take push PRETTY far so... pick your nasty theme.
It's MULTIVOTE so pick the ones you like, and comment with any other ideas or things you'd like to see her doing or wearing and let's see what we come up with! I'll leave this poll up a day longer than usual anddddd yeah??? It'd be nice to have these as like... community drawings or something? Maybe?
Neat??!?!
One of the best girls ever really.
All of Tier 3 for new people.
In keeping with recent events, a themed poll! Multivote is on, as always.
Alright Hsien-Ko is a go go! THANK YOU GUYS AND EVERYONE!!!
In addition, here's your weekly poll! Let's keep the fighting game theme.
It's multivote, which is honestly the normal. So vote for as many as you want. Or against. Or rally your fellow patrons for your waifu. Which is clearly Iroha. But honestly probably not... that's okay... someday...
As some of you have seen on twitter, I’ve been offering drawings for small stretch goals. Nothing major, usually $30 or $40 dollars. But I haven’t really posted about it here. But I am now since people here could maybe upgrade if you’re interested!
Heres the sketch: https://twitter.com/slugbox/status/1100589437375918080?s=21
and if I can get the pledges up $40, I’ll finish her and post it everywhere for everyone. If not, then hey, enjoy the sketch!
Neat!
I do feel like she’s underrated. Went with something a little simpler this week. I don’t usually do just cel shading, but I think it looks nice with my lineart sometimes!

I dealt an insane amount of damage to myself on this one.
Small poll. But we must reward the goth faithful who rarely win. It’s multivote, even tho it’s just three. Mandy was excluded because she’s just too popular. Later she can go up against her own tier competition tho.
Was probably looking at too much sindoll lately if you can’t tell. Not that that’s a bad thing. Fuck. Cute round eyes.
Heres the whole Tier 2 folder, to get everyone who is new up to speed, since I like to clear out old posts! Ammy is in the Ammy folder. Obv.

Multivote is on, as usual!
Tier Four is something I’ve been thinking about for a while.
Most artists who do this kind of work have way more tiers than myself, but the actual content (like causally getting to SEE the titties) usually starts at around five or ten dollars. So I am already “behind” by offering a one dollar option. I think the benefits of productivity and publicity far outweigh that potential loss though. I get to post advertisements, multiple versions, etc on a WEEKLY basis. So I get a lot of people joining up over that. And a lot of people pick the five dollar option anyway.
But yeah. What could I offer? I’m hesitant to add to my workload until I’ve proven to myself I can keep pace. Which I have. So I’m COMFORTABLE with that, but a little lost on what to offer. Comics are the most obvious choice. However. I KNOW how long they take, and they are NOT fun. Nor are they good for posting. People don’t like to share them.
So the only way to make back some of that pain and publicity loss would be if I could also make the comic about my own OCs or guest OCs from other artists. That’s at least brand building! I’d love to do OCs from patrons, but you guys have to understand that I could never fairly reward everyone. Nor are “random raffles or picks” allowed on Patreon. And limiting tiers would be pointless. I might as well just open commissions then. And the whole point of Patreon is that I don’t HAVE to take commissions.
After some careful thought though, $15 Tier isn’t enough of a bump from ten. That would just hurt my ability to “catch up” to where most adult illustrators areas with their own tiers. So it’s gotta be a 20. But I don’t think that’d be too much of an issue. There’s really not a HUGE jump in benefits, but at this point i’d just be benefitting from FANS of my OCs with a little extra cash, while also building more of a presence of my characters. It’d very much be a “hey you have spending cash, and you might feel generous towards an artist you like. There isn’t a HUGE bump in rewards at this tier, but it’d help a lot to build more than just fanart.“
Frankly, it’d help me keep all the Ctenophorae updates more consistent. Losing tumblr through my schedule out wack.
But I could also simply promise two more pictures a month at $20, one from the five and ten dollar content levels each, but with my own girls or other artists’ occasionally. If I felt like doing a small comic I could do that too. That’s the most flexible and open ended option. And probably the most likely.
So yeah. Just wanted to give you guys my thoughts and a heads up!
TLDR cant responsibly add anymore fanart to my schedule so Tier 4 will relate to my OCs but anyone willing to pledge that amount of money for them would have to be a big fan ANYWAY IN THE FIRST PLACE so it’s not like I‘m gonna disappoint on the content
Tan is good.

Got a DM saying that if I finished this Isabelle sketch, they'd pledge to Tier 2. So here we are! GOT THAT FIVE DOLLAR FOOTLONGGGGG sigh actually no subway doesn't do that anymore...
Decided to save some annoying twitter users some confusion and make it a slightly more standard pose.
Foreshortening CAN be confusing I guess.
Its... a poll that’s every week???
But this week you can only vote ONCE. So choose wisely.
Alright, while Midna is kind of an in-between, there's been no definitively furry winners in Tier 3 yet.

Google drive is syncing very weird as usual...
There's a lot of versions of this one. You can mix and match in the source file but there's a couple preset ones!
End of the year, so this tier 3 is to give something more intense to the most popular older tier 1 winners this year. I wanted to make this a final showdown with SINGLE vote but tier 3 is always multivote, and so it shall remain. So you have options!
its gonna be imp midna if she wins also

Multivote is on! It’ll always be on for you guys
Just for a titty. It’s multivote!
Did an upgrade for you Tier 3 people from this week's Tier 2. I won't ALWAYS do that but it's a nice bonus and I'll try to when it suits the images or isn't an insane amount of redrawing.
Lillie is a [GOOD CHOICE] but I'm also partial to Sakura Igawa...
This was my ideal show tbh...
There's also a cumflation milky ahegao version I uploaded as a Tier 3 reward. Although like these, in a few weeks / months that'll go public. So don't feel bad if you don't want to upgrade. I won't always do edits to move things up a Tier, either from 1 to 2 or 2 to 3, but sometimes I will. A nice occasional bonus.
But if you want to upgrade your pledge to the Tier 3, there's NOT a lot of people in that Tier. That means the votes have a lot more impact. Also good stuff.
Anyway... [ THIS WAS A GOOD SHOW. ] They don't animate them like this anymore. This was the last WELL ANIMATED one.
What's up people. smash that uhhhhh button... that does stuff... f5 i think...? i'm on a mac so... the button with the three rectangles...??
Anyway... I'm assuming the $5 tier (and above) is discerning enough for these poll options...
It's multivote as usual
This is for the dollar people. Though hey, ya'll should upgrade to the five or even ten dollar tiers. Why? Because then I can buy more hamburgers and Chinese food. MMMMM. What a good reason.
But still know in your hearts, that in MY heart, you're all appreciated. Vote for titties now. Oh it's multivote too.
WELP. SOMETIMES THE POLLS SURPRISE ME. BUT IF THEY WIN, THEY GET DRAWN. And I'm willing to have some unexpected results and fun with the weekly tiers since they're constant and only a dollar. But we'll go back to titties for sure next week, don't stress.
Not that she wasn't fun to draw... What if I made a body pillow...?
Alright so, if you're a new pledger, or upgrading, there may be some issues with old posts BEFORE this Tier was introduced.
Fear not.
I've gone back and edited posts that are still Patreon exclusive. Remember, after a month or so, I'll post stuff publicly since it's old. So a lot of the OLD OLD backlog is already around.
But HD stuff? Source files? I've saved all that and it's easily accessible to you since I use a drive instead of Patreon to Upload.
It's all available to you here, even if you can't access the posts for whatever reason.
VOILA!
Two more polls/drawings a month at $10. These have Lactation and Cumflation standard. So more impossible fetishy stuff than the $5. But I'm not gonna promise it's always gonna be guys or tentacles or machines or robots or monsters or what.
It'll be different for each image and whatever is best for the image! Variety is GOOD. But those two fetishes are standard each time.
Big Brain Tier.
OKAY! FIRST TIER THREE POLL.
The only set rules for this tier are that they'll have cumflation and lactation. Impossible fetish time.
Tentacles? Dicks? Guys? Toys? Machines? Maybe. Whatever makes the image look GOOD. I'd rather not lock that in as something that always needs to be done. That holds back variety!
Nice. I'll do edits and versions with and without where possible, but I'll always focus on getting those two stipulations in. If edits work and I have time, I'll do them. But adult stuff first. Not tame stuff and then working up with edits. START STRONG.
As a relatively expensive tier, well, frankly there won't be as many people voting. Which is good and bad. I want people to be rewarded and get some wins in. So I'm pretty sure that every poll in this tier will be a multivote poll. Including this one. That'll give people a lot of options, and hopefully ensure that SOME girl you like wins! I'll also use some of the characters who've never really gotten wins in past polls either long term or recent, or popular characters who've won but didn't get anything AMAZING.
Tier 1 this week is Monster Hunter time.
I... You know... I never definitely promise TITTIES in these polls... nudity yes but... hmm... So this is a DUAL poll. You can multivote in this, so vote as much as you want. But there's TWO questions to answers.
Also heads up, the ten dollar tier is now live, and the poll for it will go live shortly.
Flat colors / Cel shading gets a bad rap. I think it's honestly harder to make look NICE nice. So I hope you guys don't mind me trying every now and then versus the normal coloring methods.
For the goodness.
Multivote is on!
For the titties.
Also you guys should CONSIDER UPGRADING TO THE FIVE DOLLAR TIER BECAUSE THEN I CAN BUY MORE HAMBURGERS.
Just a thought.
Now here's some CURRENT season girls to offset some of the classics around here.
Ahead of schedule this week!
There's a few versions for this one. Testing out edits for what I could do for the $10 tier. I'm guessing something like this one is, but maybe one more edit additional edit.
I try and alternate big and small titties for you guys, and last one was big. Well. It was big ass. Big still tho.
There's a couple of layer groups, so you can make your own combo.
The good stuff tier.
Single vote only!
Here's your weekly poll for titties out!
I do wanna draw a few of these girls so... don't feel too bad if your pick doesn't win. I'll draw at least two of these and upload them here.
Single vote poll!
Request Stream at 2pmEST. Request things here!
The stream will be viewable to the open public, but I'll only be taking requests from replies to this post.
It's a fanart stream, not OCs!
PLEASE reply with MULTIPLE things to increase your odds of me picking something of yours.
Been a while since we did some undeniable furry. Gardevoir honestly doesn't count, so her win last month doesn't count either.
I've excluded Isabelle because she's too powerful for this poll, and would easily win whether this was multivote or not. This IS a multivote poll though!
Used some references for the booty since I'm not a GREAT booty artist.
Also I'm gonna launch a 10 dollar tier with like... more fetish related stuff. I'll still keep the 5 tier as is. It'll be standard hentai fair. Honestly the best example would be this will be /h/ and the other one will be more /d/ if that makes sense.
$5 will have penetration and all that, but $10 will have the eggs and cumflation and all that. Now that I've proven to myself I can maintain the schedule, I need to add to it! I'll launch the tier with some better versions of a sketch I did a few weeks ago, touched up and finished up. That way I can reward everyone right away.
I don't want to draw any hard lines in the sand though, and say it'll always be THIS or THAT because that just leads to the same three drawings on rotation.
PERSONALLY I prefer no body suit at all for her but [ you can have your pick. ]
You know... I’ve been thinking of some way to do an additional tier. I don’t want to mess with the current tiers! But I’ve proven to myself that I can manage this schedule well. I’m comfortable! And i’m Not worried I can’t deliver. Which means I could theoretically add ore drawings in monthly. So I want to add SOMETHING. Good business and all.
Maybe a ten dollar super cumflation egg laying titty milk tier or something? Twice a month like the standard hentai tier, which has been nice thus far, but GENERALLY vanilla. So this would be a little more juicy.
Theres still no reliable way to offer OCs without forcing gambles, and even then, I’d still rather keep things fanart only and stick to OCs in public participation request streams.
Anyway... might be something to upgrade to next month. Given that I do eventually post everything somewhere after a few weeks, its still more “if you want to support and have a say in what gets drawn, you can!” type situation. But it’d be a nice upgrade for some people, more art in general, and I’d have a reason to get back to... well... cumflation egg laying titty milk art.
In the meantime... popular girls poll. You can only vote for one!
I generally feel that I can’t, or shouldn’t, draw things I truly love. But people have been asking. And now is still the time, so...
You can multivote on this!
Repost. Had to change the end time!
It's a multivote poll!
This one came out good. I need to draw more round squish girls, because frankly it's what I'm better at.
Same as the WEEKLY poll but with different girls. Don't vote for your favorite girl here. Vote for the game you suck at most. Or vote for the girl. Whichever.
Fight Fight Fight.
Don't vote for your favorite girl here. Vote for the game you suck at most. Or vote for the girl. Whichever.
Okay! A Patreon request stream will start sometime in the next hour at https://picarto.tv/slugbox !
The stream will be viewable publicly, but I'll only be taking requests from this post. So just reply with what you want! We're gonna keep this fanart only for now, in keeping with my Patreon's theme. OCs would be nice, but frankly it always leads to salty people since just statistically, your OC is probably not gonna get chosen.
There are TWO GUIDELINES:
1. You must request at LEAST three girls. Reply in a comment to this post!
2. Patreon doesn't allow for raffles. That's gambling. So I'll just be picking and choosing or putting it up to a public stream poll.
Okay I'm gonna go get a shower and I'll see you guys in a bit.
I'm gonna start doing four entrant polls instead of five, since it helps LESS girls LOSE. And avoid people feeling bad when their choice doesn't win, even though I mean... only one can win like... that's how a poll works...
It's multivote too. Vote for any amount of them. Or all of them. Or none of them.
Just reply in the comments with the girls you'd like. Need to pad out the overall request pool a little.
HOWEVER, PLEASE REPLY WITH AT LEAST THREE OPTIONS.
OR MORE.
MANY OPTIONS IS BETTER FOR YOU, AS THE SHEER ODDS OF A SINGLE CHARACTER GETTING CHOSEN FOR A POLL AND THEN WINNING THE POLL ARE SLIM.
OPTIONS!!! YOU WILL NEED THEM!!!!
I draw Gardevoir more and more humanish every year. Which I don’t mind.
Shes always good. And it’s frankly good to get her out of the way on these weekly polls. She’s one of those girls that WILL win, but can’t be avoided. Not that I don’t also love her! But now she’s done and won’t interfere with less popular waifus anymore.
I’m on mobile, so the link isn’t pretty today.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1-6mFqDbzDtfzo-ABIb9ojm6Tv-FBPMXz
WEEKLY poll time!
ALRIGHT!
So i'm gonna change the Tier 2 a little bit, making it just general hentai, instead of always tentacles. Since limiting it like that isn't gonna always lead to the best drawings.
Also [ Miku Concert ] !
There's two versions of this but like... this is one of those rare instances that the "SFW" is better? I think at least. At least it's more accurate. There's a lot of Aigis porn and a lot of ways to draw her titties so... well... anyway yeah.
robots robots robots
I have excluded 2B because you all get plenty of that anyway.
MULTIVOTE POLL PICK ALL YOUR FAVS
This is a simple showdown. Two choices.
Pick the small or big music titties,
I don't actually WATCH anime, but I liked drawing this still!
Angry smols.
Well. Not ALL angry but... vaguely distempered and/or dangerous.
It's a MULTIVOTE poll. Vote for ALL of your favorites, or AVOID voting for your dislikes.
I figured Misty or May would be the winner. Not that I'm complaining! She was really good!
Themed this one. Popular suggestions that have never actually gotten any traction or wins, but here's their shot!
This is a SINGLE vote poll! You must pick your ultimate. I've exempt the current series since that's TOO many girls in the poll, and they get plenty of fanart currently anyway. I literally have sketches of them unfinished.
Because I'm doing two a month now. NEAT RIGHT??
It's a MULTIVOTE POLL!!! Vote for as many or as few as you want.
And the theme of the month is Gacha Girls. Games. Gacha Games. None of which I play. I always feel left out because unlike every other artist I don't play any gachas and can't spam my rolls on twitter.
Let's go slightly yiff on this week, seeing how much of it is on my feed lately for whatever reason.
I'm gonna keep this one SINGLE vote! Change it up some.
Also Midna would be the superior short Midna. Not that... wonky tall lady...
I'm gonna contribute to Team Elora though. I get to vote too!
ALRIGHT! First time in the tentacle tier. There's no uncensored for this it's just the tentacles, and only for those of you with a Five Dollar Footlong to spare each month. I kind of played it safe on this one but I think next month I'll do something more pose crazy or what not. This is pretty standard fare, but I was honestly I little nervous.
This was a bit of an experiment. I'm coming down from conventions, which is really a several month process. I've had to kill a lot of birds with a lot of stones these past few months, including doubling up on prints AND Patreon where possible. But now I'm no longer bound to the SUPER HIGH RESOLUTION works, and things...
A, look better.
B, take less time.
C, are more fun.
and D, come out onto the canvas a bit easier.
So with all that in mind, I'm going to DOUBLE this tier and do two a month starting next month, instead of just one. Sound good?
I mean it has to like... if you're reading this then you were fine with one but... two is better so... ??? Yeah. Neat
Meaning the only things I have to do now is finish off the weekly tier for this month and make a video of me petting our cat. Neat again!
Stuck to a spattering of fighters this week. Five is enough! I try to only do five since any more and we're just overkilling. It's a frequent WEEKLY poll anyway.
It's also MULTIVOTE so pick you favorite team.
That's here. Comment on this post. With as many girls as you'd like. More is better!! Gotta refresh the jar a little bit.
It's still not OCs. Working on SOME way to do any OC tier... But that's for later.
Weekly poll will be up later today! Sketching the monthly one now!
With this, I'm caught up on the WEEKLY pin ups!
So now it's onwards to the tentacle tier, another weekly in a few days, and Cteno updates!
Alright, this weekly / weekend poll's theme is the bad girls.
It's a MULTI VOTE POLL. PICK ALL OF YOUR FAVORITES! Or don't pick your least favorites.
If I bang this out this weekend, I'll be caught up (again). Every con puts me back a week. But I'm done with cons for the year!
ALRIGHT! BACK FROM OTAKON.
CONS ARE DONE. BACK TO MY NORMAL LIFE.
[First up, Futaba is here] She's the weekly winner from LAST week. But being at Otakon, I was obviously delayed. Just like when I came back from Metrocon, let's catch up!
So this week, I still owe you guys one drawing, and the poll for that will go live momentarily. I gotta look through all the suggestions and try and get a theme if possible. But since I'm kind of all over the place, I might just pick some personal favorites to go head to head. As promised though, I'll also do an extra Persona girl. Just because. Why not? Spoiler it's Becky.
Tatsumaki won the month's tentacle poll. I'll be starting that this weekend ideally. I'm easing back into being able to draw. Honestly, while cons are a lot of fun, I'm kind of excited to get back into my normal groove.
SOOoooOOo yeah! This weekend, If I can finish whoever wins the weekly poll I'll post in a bit, I'll be officially caught up. So thank you for being patient with me everyone! NEATOOOO
Seeing as how Futaba's crushing it like it's launch day still. Powerful nerd. Cute nerd. Good girl. But too powerful.
I AM OFFICIALLY CAUGHT UP. The $5 tier tentacle hentai drawing I have all month to do, and I'll wait 'til AFTER Otakon (this coming weekend) to start that so I can focus on it and do a good job.
Next week I'll reopen submissions for more characters, as well as try to figure out some kind of OC thing to do for you guys... But in the meantime, your weekly poll is here. Back to a theme this week, something people are always asking for.
One vote per person this week!! So think hard about who you love. Or who has the best gameplay benefits. Which is a different kind of love.
Here we go.
So, this is the FIRST poll for this tier, and I've had a couple of ideas on how to run this tier. But for this first go, I'm just gonna take from the suggestions sort of randomly and without theme. There's less of you at this tier, so there's not AS much FANDOM POWEERRRRR to take into account (or fear).
So let's just dive in? I'm also going to make this poll MULTIPLE CHOICE, so vote as you'd like, for as many or as few as you'd like!
Just as a reminder, this is a good ol' hentaiiiii sugoiiiii. Not just a pin up. And probably no SFW version. So. Yeah. Vote accordingly...?
Here're the Tier 1 Pin Up Poll!
IT'S MULTIPLE VOTE!
So it's a straight popularity vote for prior contestants. You can vote multiple times or deny a girl votes. Kept the furries out of this one, since everyone is a little furry, meaning they almost always win these kinds of polls. They get lots of chances though!
HEY EVERYONE. Seven days til Otakon! I'm still in between conventions, RedRabbu is staying with us, and life is generally kind of busy with prepping and supplies and planning and lots of other things.
I'm a little schedule-hecked-up with con stuff, so let's break everything down. We all knew this was gonna happen this month, but still. Info is good.
Last Week
So to start off, Rosalina was LAST week's pinup winner. I've included Peach too though, just for shits, and did an idea I've been thinking of for a while. It'll also be in print at Otakon. Despite having tentacles in the image, this is NOT for the tentacle tier. It just... has tentacles... why not?
Source file is a little big. Google might try to zip it, so be patient if needed.
This Week
There will be a poll for the Standard Single Dollar Tier going up soon after I post this. I'll bust that out this weekend, and be technically caught up on the weekly pinups! Since it's the start of the month, it'll be a poll of prior entrants who didn't win their polls.
There will ALSO be a poll in a bit for the Five Dollar Tentacle Tier Drawing. You'll have to be in that tier to vote in that poll AND get access to the file. That's a monthly drawing, so I want to do a better job with it. The poll for that will be a little bigger and run a little longer. I think I'll revisit older polls and things for that too. There's a lot of girls who haven't won, and need more chances.
I'll also put up a video of Dean getting cat pats. As promised. I'll film that this weekend. Maybe we'll put his monkey suit on him.
THANKS FOR BEING PATIENT WITH ME EVERYONE! BUSY BUSY YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME.
WEEKLY POLL! -
- The Long Awaited One We All Knew Would Come Eventually -
Here it is. At some point, it had to be done. There is no avoiding it, so let's just put it on the table. I know we all love some obscure wives, and we get those. This week is not about that. This is what the people at LARGE want.
It's just three girls in a popular girl club. Not even five this week. There are none who could fit in here and stand a reasonable chance. Not even the other Nintendoblondes. Let's be real.
Fight Fight Fight.
Last week's winner! I was at Metrocon, so she's a little late. After I post this, I'll get the poll live for THIS week.
Alright everyone! Still in the home stretch for Metrocon in Tampa. We’re far from home, and drawing something nice for the weekly poll isn’t the BEST idea when I’m sitting at a cramped hotel desk. And when you‘re really tired.
So! Albedo will be midway through the week. And a poll for the tentacles and pinup will both go live then too. It’ll be a busy catch up week, and then Otakon in Washington DC the week after. RedRabbu will be staying with us during the time, so i’ll have lots of time to draw during movie marathons.
I’m tired oh man...
ANYWAY thank you for being patient everyone!! Conventions can heck up your schedule a lot. Metrocon hasn’t been QUITE as profitable as I had hoped, but we still came out positive. And I’m happy to have extra stock for Otakon, a convention I’m way more familiar with. And it’s much easier to get to since we drive.
okay. I need food.
THIS WEEK'S POLL THEME IS... I DON'T KNOW!
Why don't I know? Because I haven't regularly watched anime in about ten years and when you guys start yelling all these names, frankly, I can not discern 90% of them.
But that's okay! Because today's poll? I have no idea who any of these characters are. Nor have I googled them. They're characters requested a few times by multiple people but I don't know them.
Some of the SHOWS I know of, but they're shows with like 9138102381092831 girls so I have no idea which of them they are. If they're even any I know.
Trade off? I have no idea if this poll is relatively fair. It might not be. To that end, I encourage everyone to maybe "give your second fav a chance." I'm also going to allow Multivote. You can vote for ALL of them or NONE of them or SOME of them. This is really a way to encourage that the LEAST popular loses, not that the MOST popular wins. Because... well... I have no idea what this poll is about. But human pop culture knowledge is finite. So let the best girl win. I hope they're all girls.
I'll also be traveling this weekend, down to Metrocon in Florida. So this post? It MIGHT be a little late. Might have to do TWO next week. But that's fine. You can Twitter Me to see what's going on down in Florida this weekend if you want.
First off, I'm doing some cleaning up! I'm going to be using google drive instead of Patreon to distribute stuff. It's just easier. I can keep it all in one place and do updates easier, sync it, etc etc etc.
In fact, here is the link to the new public folder, which has everything in it since the Patreon relaunched a few months ago!
Let me know if it doesn't work!!
Also, to that end, I'll be deleting old posts after I post this just to keep things clear and simple. I'll continue to relink that folder from now on, with each post too. From now on, the weekly things will be added to that folder. Which is aptly named Patreon Tier 1. There IS a higher Tier now, which includes Tentacle works. That starts next month, but you can upgrade your pledge now if you want. I'll get that folder live at that time.
Just to clear that Tier up, you get everything like usual, all tiers down, but people with 5 bucks a month get to vote on a monthly tentacle piece in addition to the weekly polls, and they'll get access to it a month ahead of time. Still a small amount, so I don't think I'll be forced to cater just to a few rich people. Which is my greatest Patreon fear. But still. Gotta make money! And $5 is a 500% increase over $1. That's awesome. And I have bills.
Finally, the suggestion box is once again open in these comments. Go nuts. I'll have a poll up later tonight. Remember, I won't pull DIRECTLY from suggestions that week. Everything gets logged and can come up that week or next or even weeks later. So suggest many things. More chances for more themes.
I think the theme is gonna be "characters I've NEVER HEARD of and didn't even look up a reference let's see who wins!"
People wanted more adulty stuff, and they also miss the tentacles. So I've added it. It'll be a monthly drawing! Obviously, at $5, it'll be nicer than the weekly pin ups.
Just like the weekly polls and pin ups, you'll get to vote for the character in this one, although voting will be exclusive to the $5 tier, as well as access to the drawing!
Gotta start putting a LITTLE more work into the Patreon so here we go! You can feel free to upgrade now, and it'll go live for August.
Mikoto's pretty simple, so I did a few versions of the drawing to compensate!
Next week's poll will be up soon! But next week is also Metrocon, so things might get a little wonky schedule wise. But I'll keep you all in the loop. Worst case? I'll do two drawings when I get back from Metrocon, or do a pairing poll!
EDIT! Updated the source file with another extra.
Alright, since a small but vocal group have expressed desire for their... well... let's just say PAST THEIR PRIME WAIFUS. But as polls are literally a popularity contest by nature, and their can only be one winner, and as everyone generally has a single dollar stake and I'm gonna obviously cater towards... uh... SUCCESS... they just don't usually have the strongest chance until they pass into ETERNAL TIER WAIFUDOM. Like Rei or Misty.
So this week is a classics week of sorts. Generally 2000s. Can't put Lum or Faye in here because they'd wreck. So would Chi. But still, that's relative, and I do my best. Remember the MOST POPULAR WILL WIN because even with these generally oldnew school wives there WILL be a most popular one and that's how polls go.
Not that I don't have a personal stake in this one and hope for my OWN favorite since this is MY era here. But frankly, I can't just say light music only... that would just be self indulgent.
There's also a wild care in the ranks so... we'll see...
Frankly, the "sfw" version of this one is just not doing her ANY good and I'm not gonna pretend otherwise.
I'm ahead of schedule for this, hopefully conventions this month and next month don't derail me much! But worst case, I'll double down for a week or too.
2. Here's what's gonna happen on the first poll of each month: Runners up from prior months will engage in a bigger poll, where you can vote MULTIPLE times. So if you like two of the entrants, vote for them BOTH. Or three of them. Or ALL of them. Although that'd be the same as voting for none of them.
SO: Here's your BIG poll. Vote for as many characters as you'd like!
Honestly I gave her hair and I don't regret it.
Gonna be honest. Got stoned and fell asleep before posting it last night.
It's furry wife week. But like real furry not just animal ears. This one is basically a fandom battle. Classic furry wives have incredible lasting relevance and power, but people really are always passionate about new furry girls too so... Let's see.
Honestly, there hasn't REALLY been a CRUSHING win for any poll yet. Even Dva won by a pretty standard amount.
Anyway. What's your yiff of choice?
Alright, here's the weekly open suggestion box. You can comment with any and any fanart you want me to draw for next week's girl. I keep a log of past suggestions too! You can feel free to request them again though.
There's usually five girls picked per poll, one poll per week. Not ALL of the suggestions at once. I try and keep them on "even" footing for a poll, and pick a theme where possible.
Poll will go live tomorrow or tonight!
But don't forget that a poll is LITERALLY A POPULARITY CONTEST. I'm trying to make a living too! Popular things pay the bills better than obscure things. I like drawing my favorite obscure characters too, but we gotta be real here that at just a single dollar a month for four drawings (it's WEEKLY!) we're not gonna be able to give any single person special treatment with these. It's a community voted activity.
That's still better than me only offering $100 tiers to only a few people though. Right? Although, I AM CONSIDERING OFFERING AN INSANE $300 TIER. This person will be able to fund any past poll girl prior, whether she lost or won.
I just want everyone to take a minute to keep their salt in check in general. Polls are polls.
If you're one of the four guys/girls that are salty for some reason that I drew two topless girls instead of one then I just don't know what else to do for you???
But I would like to remind everyone that for just $1 a month like... Yeah I'm gonna go out bounds on some of these themes and drawings when I feel like it'll be better for it, even if it goes against themes.
IT'S TWO GIRLS???
This week we're gonna keep it general, and let the small boobies have a shot! Nothing too thematic!
WASN'T GONNA PICK JUST ONE SO YOU GUYS GET BOTH.
As usual, get your suggestions in so I can run a poll for tomorrow's weekly draw. I'm LEANING towards furry wives as the theme, but we'll see. It's a WEEKLY thing, not a monthly thing so... There's time and chances to do lots of things.
I want dominos pizza now. Everyone double your pledges to $2 so I can buy more pizza per week.
I'll have Domino up by the weekend, since she BARELY beat out Harley. BY A SINGLE PERCENT TOO. I'll let you all stew on which Domino though.
In the meantime tho, I've attached the NSFW and SFW and Source of one of this summer's Ctenophorae prints. I'll have it at MetroCon in Tampa along with Rabbu and Ashi.
WEEKLY PATREON PIN UP POLL - This week's theme is...
Comic Wives! I picked five of your suggestions. More than five is kinda too many and spreads things out too much. And some of the other comic suggestions can ALSO fit in other themes, so I saved them. Again, this is WEEKLY, not MONTHLY so there's at least four polls a month. So be patient if your preferred "theme" or waifu hasn't come up yet.
Spider Gwen was ALSO gonna make the poll but I JUST drew Gwen so, she's out.
Catgirl Spacegirl of 90s day past is attached in both versions. She's who you voted for this week.
As such, this week's weekly box is open! COMMENT AND SUGGEST AWAY. A poll will go live tomorrow. Again, I try and keep everyone in a poll on even footing or even theme, and I DO log your old suggestions, so suggest NEW stuff. Or if you're just raging over a wife, you can feel free to spam them I guess. But that won't help their chances.
THANKS EVERYONE. Since I've gotten this week's out, I can post Tsuyu in places now.
Aisha ClanCtasrClanCtralralclalslsta proves that classic wives can indeed stack up against the new order. Or perhaps multi-vote played a role? Sometimes it's single vote, and sometimes it's multi. Or perhaps the new order was divided amongst themselves and didn't put up a front that could beat her?
REGARDLESS THE 90S ARE IN.
The theme of the week is...
... CHEAP FUR COATS. I MEAN ANIMAL GIRLS. CHEAP ANIMAL GIRLS. I MEAN WAIFUS.
I'
I'll have the poll late tonight or tomorrow! You DO NOT NEED TO SUGGEST THINGS YOU'VE ALREADY SUGGESTED PRIOR! I've logged them!
The polls are generally gonna be "themed," or at the very least, attempt to have equally appealing/popular characters. That way a poll is pretty fair.
But for now, comment on what you'd want. Winning OC will get a totally nude pinup and a SFW version.
WELL! I think this was successful for a first time effort! I have the hi res for future prints, everyone got to vote on a wife, and Patreon saw a slight boost in earnings! Neat!
The plan is for me to do this once a week. Suggestions and voting will happen on the weekends. So... YEAH! I'll save the suggestions that didn't get voted for and use them later, although I'll also make posts for new suggestions too. When it DOES come time for polls, like this time, I'll TRY and keep a theme going, or at the very least pair characters with similar popularity levels up.
THANKS EVERYONE!
I'm only going to post the SFW ones around for now, and wait about a week until posting any NSFW versions. So they're exclusive for a bit, but not so long that I'll be stressing when they inevitably get reposted or stressing about having content I can't post.
NEATO!
This was initially a commissioned piece, but I upgraded it to print resolution (and looking way nicer than usual) for the client in exchange for rights to the image. And I'm sending him free prints of it.
Prints for YOU GUYS will be available at cons in the summer, and then online after that. In the meantime though, the source file for educational purposes is attached. It's a mess. I'm telling you now. It's just... a mess of layers...
Alright. Took some of the suggestions and listed them below!
Apparently Patreon has polls now. Good! I'm gonna limit this to one vote per person, and to keep it on even ground, pick the more "popular" suggestions and have them all go to head to head. I'd love to draw Talim, and will save her for a later poll, but she's not gonna win against like Lillie or Dva so... yeah. Next time we'll do a "less popular waifu" poll. Or a furry waifu. Or an 80s waifu. Something themed.
Whoever wins, I'll do a drawing of them with an edit to post, and keep the full version patreon exclusive for a week or so.
I'm not gonna set an END TIME for the poll, since I'll promo it tomorrow on stuff and if I promo it now, well... no one is gonna be awake.
Also I uploaded the files I FORGOT TO UPLOAD LAST TIME BECAUSE... I suck. They're attached.
The Clip Studio files are attached, but let's do something exclusive to Patreon, at least for a short time.
Once a week, I'll do an extra nice NSFW drawing. Something print resolution. And upload it here, instead of to twitter and tumblr and such, for a week exclusively. It won't be so long I'll feel BAD about it leaking and/or getting shared ahead of that week. And I won't feel bad about it being something exclusive since it'll only be a week.
Obviously this is best suited for fanart so suggest away. PLEASE SUGGEST MORE THAN ONE IDEA THOUGH... PLEASE. Otherwise, frankly, it's just Isabelle and forgettable anime-waifu-of-the-week. But I AM gonna mentally RESET all the requests I've ever done starting now so... Yeah.
I'd like to do a poll but... frankly polls always get manipulated... So we'll see how we pick. Twitter polls are pretty solid and reliable!
Sorry about the "playing catch up" here. THINGS HAVE BEEN CRAZY... I do appreciate running Patreon as a kind of Tip Centric thing. It means I don't have to worry and stress about delivering exclusive content to just a few people but... it also means it's the first thing to get cut from the schedule when things are busy. But I guess it's better for more people in the long run... right?
I dunno... Maybe I should do one dedicated exclusive drawing a week? Something obviously NSFW. What do you guys think? Just lemme know.
In the meantime, here's the NSFWish batch. I'll do a SFWish batch tomorrow! These are CLIP STUDIO FILES btw, not .psds!
But everyone's using clip these days so... yeah.
Well. I guess her mom is Mega Lana. Both are attached as sources.
In other news, as you've all seen my new pink hair, what's a good offering next? How can I entertain you all further?
Man the past few weeks have been hectic. Taxes and a financial goof notwithstanding, Stringmouse also started a new job this month. It's a good job! and things are good. But even then, it makes things busy. Supporting each other is an important job in and of itself, and one I'm trying to be better at. I gotta be a better house husband.
BUT! Back on track. The pink hair dye (manic panic brand because heck yeah) is due to start in an hour or two. I'll be putting progress up on twitter as it goes. A lot of it is just waiting around with goo on your head soooo... I guess I'll play Monster Hunter during.
While Request Streams are still happening and going well, I've also started taking dailyish request on twitter whenever I have a sort of open day. I've included some of those in this post. So keep an eye out there for those posts. It's usually one fanart and one OC taken from the replies. Honestly? It's easier than streaming. I've accepted that Request Streams don't always yield good, or even postable, results. That's fine, and accepting that has helped me feel better about them. But still, I like to get nice drawings out. So while twitter requests aren't as numerous, they're way nicer. AND IN COLOR.
Okay String is out of the shower so it's time to blonde myself first, and then pink. Nice. Sources files are over here on Google Drive since it was easier to just compress them this time! I'm also just gonna say how appreciative I am to have a very relaxed and general Patreon. I feel lucky I can generally provide content to a lot of people in lots of places and with more variety than just a few of the same things over and over for a few really wealthy supporters. Thanks to you all.
GUESS I GOTTA DYE MY HAIR PINK. Probably after my anniversary with String. Which is tomorrow.
In the meantime, here's a couple sources. Attached. How are you guys doing?
Cteno x Vomi is attached, drunk, and canon. Let's see where it goes? I've cut the dialogue out of the file to prevent font confusion. I'll try and do that from now on!
This reward has been SEMI-reached for a while, but every month I LOSE pledges at the end of the month since... well... that's what people do. I usually gain and lose about a hundred dollars in total each month. I am not upset about that! It's something predictable since I don't have the Pay-Up-Front feature yet. But it became solid so... it's happening. Not that I don't want it to happen!
On the same note, if April rolls around and I'm still at 1300, then... well... hair dyed pink is how it will be. I'm... I'm not sure what I'm hoping... ????
things from tonights little request stream
There's a massive and tiny and stupid error in this drawing. I am not gonna fix it.
DEATTHHHHH
Not at great color job, but I did add some colors to the Tae doodle from the request stream.
Here's some Cteno doodlesssss, including the last update. UPDATES BACK ON TRACK YEAH!
Added the source for her and the requests from today. These are clip studio files! The hi res's are already posted on twitter and stuff! Or will be in a second.
These are coming out cute. I think there's just one or two more.
Morrigan.clip and I also saved you the trouble if you just want the lineart!
This one was more a doodle that reached coloring but it still came out nice.
So no more. Unfortunately, a FEW bad apples have been using the good faith of these source files to simply repost and re-upload the art, despite warnings to the contrary. At best, people hit Hue/Saturate on the layers, count that as "edits," and then repost.
Most of the time, it's not even really for profit, since these people don't expect anyone to actually buy their auction. They just get to upload nice lineart that they didn't make. Which is, well, just reposting... Sooooo nope...
This doesn't affect the vast majority of you, nor will it affect what is uploaded here, or the regularity of request streams and fanarts and all that.
So those of you enjoying the source files as learning and reference material can continue to do that. And those of you just tipping me because your nice, obviously you can keep doing that. The people just reposting my work flat out should probably go? And in the future, I mean, I'm gonna ENJOY taking action against these people on the sites it happens on. Publicly and hilariously. I always do!
I'll complete the set over the next week or two.
These are SFW so I just attached them to the post! The source files are all there, but remember to use your heads about referencing and basing. That doesn't mean you should just repost the work with some layers turned off! That's just... art theft...
But I don't want to stop providing the source files for people who learn from them, so things will continue as usual!
Here's something fun. Go draw your OC's mugshot.
The base for it (the background and Foreground) and Vomi's source file are both attached to this post!
The mugshot is a .psd, but vomi is a .clip. I'm gonna start sticking to uploading the clip studio files instead of .psd's since they're buggy with colors...
NEAT! Pages 1, 2, and 3 are on the last post. KEEP IN MIND THAT IN THE CONVERSION TO PHOTOSHOP FORMATS, THE CLIP STUDIO BORDERS DON'T WORK. That only affects these comic pages though.
ALRIGHT. Pages 4 and 5 will lead back into Ctenophorare updates, which I'm super excited to get back into full time.
I had planned for those two pages to be ready by the new year. Unfortunately, I made physical contact with my two nieces over the holidays. Children are full of viruses and illnesses. So now I've got a nasty flu. It's just... just horrible... I'm really really gross. So it String. We're both just in an awful way.
But I didn't want to leave everyone hanging, so the first three pages are attached.
New year should be good. Gonna cut BACK on commissions, giving me more time for fun things like Ctenophorae and request streams. Once I'm healthy.
Alright. Some sources are attached.
Let's do an update though! On life, which does have an impact on my work and schedule.
It's been CRAZY. Not always good lately, but always for the best. Things have been busy to say the least. Sorry I haven't been on the up and up with new material. Commissions do have to take a priority though. However, I've learned that I'm better off spacing commissions all early in the week, in one chunk. That way I have a few days to myself to plan and work on larger projects. Right now I just get a day in between, which is nice, but I end up not wanting to engage in multi-day drawings. So that'll change next commission round.
I also realized that I listed THREE PAGES as the reward for patreon adult comics. I meant to do TWO. I'm not going to change it yet, although I'll probably stick to a two page comic and a one page comic with separate content. Just for variety's sake. I'll also make up the two missing pages from November and October for you guys as an additional two page. Probably with Isabelle?
SO... busy month. Thanks for being around everyone!
It's adult stuff so I'll host it off of Patreon: [here!]
I'm also gonna start deleting big files like this a month or two AFTER they're posted, just to keep things current and save on space.
And as a pretty OBVIOUS reminder... These files are a right to build and work off of an existing foundation, not a right to repost with bad photoshop filters.
I'll have a massive source file dump tomorrow. Sorry I've been MIA! Stuff's been a little busy lately!
In the meantime, here's todays request stream file. Also I have to draw Cteno x Vomi so LET'S GET THAT PLANNED OUT HUH???
It's her birthday. And Halloween. Because that's her birthday. I think she's five now??
Source file's attached! Look at that terrible aosjdaisdjaoisjdas style naming.
Well, you guys funded the two page comic, so the comic is here. This month we started with Blackriver, after a sort of impromptu polling. This is a MONTHLY reward however, so they'll be another one next month. November will be fanart!
Keep tabs on twitter and streams for deciding what the fanart will be. You're all supporting me, so I know generally you all like the Ctenophorae characters, but fanart is a little harder to make EVERYONE happy. But we'll do our best! Man, I'm really out of practice on this kinda content though... whew... I think I did okay though!
ANYWAY, this is kind of a big file, so I'm gonna G Drive link it. Included is the .psd source file and a true resolution .png.
THANK YOU GUYS!!!
A lot of people asked for this, so here's basically the last month of request streams, all compiled in ONE document with layers and shading. AND LABELED! NEAT! You don't have to go downloading a million files!
You can use these for whatever. Practice, editing, references, whatever.
Thanks everyone!!
Are attached.
And her source file. This was a fun doodle to do offline. Sometimes watching movies is good for drawing too.
I think that was like... Saturday...?
The client for this commission was nice enough to let me post the source for this!!
It's a clip studio file though, the .psds are getting harder to adjust lately...
It's what we drew in stream today!
They're all attached and layered in groups in a single easy .psd!
I haven't posted all these everywhere since it's late, but hello everyone in stream on checking Patreon. The tan layer is in her skin group!
Are attached. Not many, but it's what we did today. Gotta get back onto the request stream schedule!!
I don't even really like her particularly but she got them big ol fluffy cheeks
NEAT
THIS IS A COMPLICATED SOURCE FILE! I LEFT THE BG IN THERE SO...
Alright, Otakon is over. I can relax and spend a few months just... being alive. So let me get back on track. Over the next week I'll upload a massive amount of source files from lately, including all of Ota's big prints, the Cteno updates, and other stuff.
YUP! Rabbu is with us for a few more days, so I'm still gonna be having some fun offline for a while, but I'll make time to stream at some point!!
All seven shark girls.
THIS FILE IS A PRETTY DEEPLY LAYERED ONE... Honestly, I'd just ignore everything aside from Nellko and River. But the background is all still in there if you want to look at it. A mess.
There's only two really since it was short but ye
I put both the .clip and the .psd in here. But the .psd MIGHT have some WEIRDNESS in conversion from .clip to .psd.
So I recommend Clip Studio but you're welcome to use either for ref, tracing, what have you! Obviously just credit. Although not for my own sake, for yours.
Sorry I'm slow on request streams lately. OTAKON PLANNING IS EATING UP A LOT OF MY TIME!!
It's been pretty hectic and rough and crazy lately so, sorry I haven't been up to my semi-daily posting.
Attached is a buncha good stuff thooooo
Thanks for all the help everyone
It's Zero and Whitemantis's birthdays, so attached are really messy source files of their OCs. I mean MESSY SOURCE FILES. These are all kinds of layered badly.
Mantis you should all already know. She's basically a hero to us all.
http://whitemantis.tumblr.com/
Zero you probably know too. And he is my personal hero. and lover.
This is neat one. BUT! Before you download the source file, I must tell you all that THIS source file is only available in .clip. Which it Clip Studio Paint's (briefly known as Manga Studio in the west) format.
This is because the way certain layer modes behave in Clip is VERY different than how they behave in Photoshop. And with the amount of effects in this drawing, It was stupid to convert it to .psd and have it look really bad and weird. Even though .psd is a nice, almost universal format, I'd like to be able to provide some LEGIT source files with ALL the effects.
Anyway, I'd buy Clip studio if you don't have it. At full price it's worth way more than it costs, and it's ON SALE RIGHT NOW. I won't make a big sales pitch though. But get it.
ANYWAY... attached is the .clip file! Neat!
Thanks everyone!! I'll have a request stream up in the next day or two. I'm just getting a lot of business and personal stuff taken care of!
From today's streamoooo
Attached is the source file for Cteno's convention print this summer!
The background isn't included because...
So yeah. The source file is attached if you want to study it. On a secondary note, while EVERYONE is welcome to straight up trace these files, and certainly welcome to use them as references, bases, etc etc. PLEASE DON'T ONLY TRACE AND REFERENCE ME. You won't come up with your own style and look like that. You'll just look like an (even) worse version of me. Or worse, you'll look like a BETTER version of me. And the second people get tired of your stolen foundation, you'll have a LOT more to lose.
Taking from others is important. It helps. It's normal and GOOD. But you have to take a lot from a lot of people to define yourself. You can't take only from one source of reference!
So yeah. Enjoy Cteno's layers. She's not naked underneath, sorry. I should have done a naked version.
Bless Ashi and her OCs.
I'm streaming rn so this is for anyone who wants to color alonggggg and this is SFW so I can make this a public post!
It was a short stream and I only did three doodles and one was SUPER COMPLICATED but still fun so yeah but here's the file
I'm gonna try and be more active about just posting ANYTHING I finish, even if it's just doodles during movies or between streams.
ARE ATTACHED!
Sorry it's a week late. Between commissions I wanted to fill the udpate with a few more drawings. Especially since commissions aren't included in these posts. Although I'm thinking on giving commissioners a little discount if they let me distribute the source files here maybe? Maybe. I dunno. Thoughts for the future.
But anyway, it didn't matter making it a week late because I ended up doing more drawings than I usually do anyway? Sooooo yeah... I was worried for nothing!
All the source files for everything I drew this month, aside from commissions, are attached as usual. I also have to update a lot of the Patreon signage and details since a $1 minimum is now required for NSFW Patreons. But that's okayyyyyyy. I liked being able to say 100% free, but $1 minimum still isn't bad!
SOOOOO YEAH... THAT'S... WHAT'S UP!! NEAT!
Sorry it's late, first off. Life got a little complicated with commissions and some other thigns here and there. Nothing major! But you know how little things pile up and throw everything out of wack.
I obviously don't include commission source files with these packs, and since I've been doing so many lately (and even more coming up), I've filled this with some pretty recent stuff too to help flesh it out.
As for changes, due to some newish Patreon regulations, all posts are going to become Patron only posts. That doesn't mean you can't access the files, nor does it mean you have to actually pledge to me! But you're going to have to actually have an account to access them. So nothing major really! You still don't have to pledge and everything is free.
AND THAT'S IT FOR NOW. I'll have a request stream up in a bit. COFFEE AND STUFF FIRST.
I am gonna make a BIT of a patreon push in coming months. Hopefully. As most of you know, it really is utitlized mroe as a tip jar with some simple rewards. But I think I could do better with it with some better advertising.
BUT IN THE MEANTIME, SOURCE FILES!
woops!
The monthly source file dump is here. Here's completed works from December, with the exception of commissions. Because obviously those are for the client. But everything else in here!
You're free to learn from these, trace them, edit them, color the lines yourself, and even repost what you make out of them! Just be honest and sensible if you use them as obvious reference material.
COOL!
Also as you can see, I made a header for this post this month. Because I should be more... um... like... attention to presentation for Patreon. But I've got so much on my mind lately.
Either way, here are the drawings I worked on in November that weren't commissions or projects. EVERYTHING! Including reward tiers!
AT this point I'm just like.... maybe just advertise that hey I'll give everyone my source files. I don't really mind? Or feel like orgnaizing that specifically.
ANYWAY. ENJOY THEM! EAT THEM!
Sorry these haven't been glamorous posts. But I'm hoping that having more files makes up for it??
I basically just attached everything I could find.
Annndddd yeah! A LOT OF SOURCE FILES GO FOR IT GUYS
Are attached. You guys don't mind that I don't actually like... POST here much aside from big updates and the source files themselves, right?
It's such a hassle to communicate ON Patreon. And no one really checks it... Besides, since it's free to all, I feel like it's just better publicity and I connect with more of you just using my other sites.
Anyway... I'm attaching all these source files.
Sorry I'm a little late compiling everything. Things been hectic!
But I've attached two .psds with all the source files and some other drawing sources too.
So go download it!
SO GET SUGGESTIONS IN! COMMENT ON THIS!
I'll post Jesse after I'm finished her! Gonna take a little stream break!
http://www.strawpoll.me/10623791
You can vote multiple times. Top two will get the draws.
SECOND OFF! There will be a LIVE REQUEST STREAM ON THE 1st 3PMEST, since last month we hit the 500 and you are rewarded for it THIS month. But on the 1st. Because I'm swamped! I'll post the rules for it tomorrow. It will be heavily moderated and a lot of stream bans will potentially be handed out. It'd be bad if got... really crazy... The last time I did a live request stream I ended up with well over 500 attendees, all screaming. Let's try to have a civil and sane stream!
THIRD, I've come to see some problems as the Patreon has grown. Growth is good. But once again I'm not able to make as many people happy as a I could for a similar amount of effort.
SO! Starting next week I'm going to rearrange the tiers in an effort to make more people happy. I'll simply do five requests of my choosing over the course of the month. That's more than double what you'd normally get. It also lets me vary the choices a little more than ALWAYS the most popular thing. And it lets me avoid having to end-of-month rush. I can space out nice and easy.
And that's all! SO mark your calendars for the 1st at 3PMEST, and don't forget to vote this month!http://www.strawpoll.me/10623791
Get your requests in here, and only here, for the fanarts this month! Just leave a comment. I'll put a poll up tomorrow for the final winners!
YAH!
Let no one say I picked a favorite.
I'll do second place tomorroowwwww. It's Midna right now, but that could change if voting patterns change!
PATREON VOTING IS LIVE! MULTIPLE CHOICE IS ON. GO NUTS. TOP TWO WIN. TWENTY CHARACTER THROWDOWN. I might be a day or so late due to work, but it'll all be daijoubou.
SUGGESTIONS OPEN and I'm going last minute again this month because I suck... BUT IT'S STILL ON TIME
SO yeah, Suggestion box is open! Name as many characters as you'd like below, go nuts. The poll will be singular this time, and the second and first place winners will get drawn. Maybe together?
Last month we fell short of the sketch stream at the end. Although this month we're back at 500. So as long as no one really leaves the Patreon it should hold steady!!
BUT REQUEST TIME! YES. Heads up though: I won't put any Overwatch on the poll. I already overloaded with drawings on the game this month, so everyone has seen more than enough of those girls!!
More bloodborne. Which I never actually played??
VOTE HERE!http://www.strawpoll.me/10087884
Multiple choice is on again!
and ob
...is attached!!
There's one more drawing due this month. Technically rewards per month are applied for the FOLLOWING month, so the request stream isn't until May. But I'm looking forward to it so I'm going to try and have it within the first few days of the month. But there's one more pinup yah so I'll post about that soon!!
Declaring her the winner by only ten votes! So I'll be drawing her tomorrow!!
Sorry Patreon has been ending up as "End of the Month" festivities. It's been kind of weird. But things are being done on time!
First off, voting is live for the first pin up!http://www.strawpoll.me/10042388
As before, it's multiple choice. I've tried to balance series and character popularity as well as old school favorites and trendy fad girls. Get to it!
AAAAnnddd an actual request stream has been funded! AWESOME! I don't think I'll be taking the requests live though. Instead I'll be using Patreon to take the requests ahead of time and plan accordingly. Imagine taking live requests in a stream with 150 people. Horrible. It would be a screaming mess. It would probably push past 250 people... And that's bad. Mostly because that many yelling people makes me tuunnneeee ouuutttt... But maybe the publicity would pay off?
But hey, if you've EVER requested ANYTHING on here EVER, that suggestion is already logged and in the running. No need to stress. But I'll post more about how I'll run the stream closer to it's happening later this week. I've got some ideas. We'll see!
But for now, go vote.
LEAVE YOUR IDEAS HERE!
Y'all voted Seaport but I'm still on a horse kick so you get this. It's okay. Accept it.
PATREON POLL IS LIVE. Kind of last minute this month, but still on time!
AND THIS ONE IS MULTIPLE CHOICE!
Elesh Norn - Magic
Shirai Kuroko - Railgun
Tron Bonne - Megaman
Rapunzel - Tangled
Razmi - Indivisible
Seaport Hime - Kancolle
Fionna - Disgaea
Rachel Alucard - Blazblue
Minette - Skullgirls
http://strawpoll.me/7204642
I think I hit Publish too fast.
First and Second place have been running very close all night. So I will call a winner sometime tonight in a featured Deviantart comment on the poll. Letting it run the normal length isn't really fair since it's so heated and subject to outside influence after the initial rush.
Poll Link:http://slugbox.deviantart.com/journal/poll/5728743/
Close competition is good! Go give your choice that extra lead or help make a comeback if you haven't voted!
PATREON VOTING IS LIVE!
http://slugbox.deviantart.com/journal/poll/5728743/
The first one each month is chosen based solely on suggestions made THIS month, so get them in!
Sorry I'm pushing the like... LAST day of the month. It's been a really stressful messy month with all kinds of health stuff... bleehhhh.... Let's hope for better in March!
I try really hard to balance out the polls so that everyone
has a fighting chance. I know that a poll, by nature, is a popularity
contest. But I think it's good for everyone to be on sort of even
ground. Someone is going to win, but hopefully it isn't too much of a
landslide. So i try and pick things from the suggestions that are close
in popularity and fandom, and I think I got a really good spread this
time.
Cynthiapulled ahead by the largest spread, but it wasn't even 10%. And there
was only a 4% spread between second and last. In hindsight, I probably
could have included Rosalina to balance out the Nintendo presence. I
didn't include her because I thought that might drastically divide the
Nintendo fans, meaning the two of them would have finished in last, even
though combined they'd be first. Cynthia is WAY less popular here in
the states than she is overseas. She's not as SUPER popular overall.
People be sharing close ups of Rosalina's lips way too often.
But a divide assumes all Cynthia fans are also Rosalina fans. I feel
like a lot of Cynthia fans would also lean towards Cammy and Fionne
based on waifu look and game preference. And Rosalina fans would overlap
with Kaguya under the hipster platformer look. Maybe.
Butyeah. It's complicated. Peach wasn't included because it would have just
been complete massacre. I get that it's popularity but I am proud that
this was a pretty close race overall, plus I only get to pick from
everyone's suggestions too.
B L O N D E S O N L Y this time.

Get your ideas in. The first pin up of the month is ONLY from THESE suggestions. Other ones will use past AND current suggestions. So get your ideas in for the poll now!
NEATO!
From now on, I'm keeping a log of ALL suggestions in order to better balance potential selections and themes. But there will still be open journals to suggest stuff. But for this one, I've selected some FURRY TRASH WIVES!
http://slugbox.deviantart.com/journal/poll/5651190/
I HAVE REVAMPED [PATREON] FOR THE BETTER!
Doing Patreon for a few months helped me two important few things. And I've revamped it with this knowledge.
- It's possible to half-ass a free-to-all Patreon, but it'll work way better if you focus on the fanart. Which is what it now does! Patreon isn't my focus for income, but I'd like it to still be successful. To that end, I've changed the entire thing to reward you all with fanarts chosen by you!!
- I'll update Ctenophorae no matter what. I just do. I love it and my OCs. So I just end up updating it way more than any funding would declare. It's a long term investment I care a lot about. And if I'm going to update it a lot regardless of funding, I should focus on funding elsewhere. So Ctenophorae updates WON'T slow down due to this change.
As before, it's a free-to-all Patreon. I'm broke, so are many of you. I don't think exclusivity to paying users helps all that much. Mostly because it's 2016 and all that exclusive art is going to end up on E621 and Danbooru ANYWAY. It just does. I have no interest in fighting that losing battle. I'd rather people spread my work around anyway! So this Patreon depends solely on your GENEROSITY. If you have some dollars, I'd appreciate one of them! And I'll draw for you guys in return! Nothing held back.
I've priced tiers like the "big" cteno updates prior, and in line with my occasional commissions. $200 tiers. It halves after 600 though! Patreon already stands at $434.97. So that's two. Palutena was already done for this, and the suggestion post for number two? That's THIS POST. Get your requests in below. Comment away!
I've also put a Request Stream at 600, and an OC Request Stream at the lofty 1000 level. Here's how it all breaks down now.
200 - Full Color Fanart Voted by you guys
400 - Full Color Fanart Voted by you guys
600 - Fanart Request Stream
700 - Full Color Fanart Voted by you guys
800 - Full Color Fanart Voted by you guys
900 - Full Color Fanart Voted by you guys
1000 - OC Fanart Request Stream
AAAnnnnddd yeah. That's it for now. This doesn't change anything I'm up to. But it does start to reward me for it, and also lets everyone who supports me with money and follows have more input on what I draw. It also gets me drawing more fanart, which is frankly good for publicity. So hey! Let's see how it goes!! And thank you all. Whether you follow me, fav me, throw me money, come to streams, whatever. Thank you all, so much.
It's come to my attention that... well... I end doing full color Cteno updates regardless of funding. More than I even need to as dictated by the support levels. I just do it anyway! So why fund it here? I guess?
In light of this, how would you all feel about moving most, if not all, of the tiers towards fanarts and pinups, as voted and suggested by you guys? It wouldn't affect Ctenophorae updates. I just think it would be more funding for me, more stuff for you guys, and more successful Patreon in general.
Lemme know what you think!!
http://slugbox.deviantart.com/journal/poll/5628841/
Get you fanart suggestions in y'all!
Just comment with them
End of year, so here's all of December's sources that haven't gone live. AND SOME EXTRAS! I plan to revamp Patreon (for the better) next month. It'll still stay free to all though, so don't stress about that! But if I'm going to work overtime on the comics and do more than I need to, I should set it up more that way!
http://slugbox.deviantart.com/journal/poll/5603690/
Here's some "info" about the polls and what gets chosen from suggestions though.
Normally I stick with five. Why not ten? I mean ten seems more fair right? Maybe. But while polls naturally favor the more popular choice, it's nice to try and pick a popularity BALANCE if possible. With ten, the more popular picks come out super far ahead. More than usual. This is because all of the "less popular" picks are more spread out, while the more known choices don't lose much.
Why isn't Renamon in this poll? Why isn't Palutena in this poll? They were in earlier ones. Well, just for these two, you've got a massive support group of furry/kemono who would all go for Renamon, and a massive Nintendo support group who would back Palutena. Which is a FAIR FIGHT. AND A FAIR VOTE. But you throw Aisha Clan Clan and Ramlethal in that poll and they'll be massacred. It's not even close to an even voting pool. And with TWO polls running each month now, I can afford to try and "group" voting pools based on popularity closer together. This means I can run a "HEY SUPER POPULAR CHARACTERS VS EACH OTHER" and a "HEY REMEMBER THESE CLASSICS?!" too. Which is ultimately more for everyone, while still being honest that, hey, the popular vote wins. Because it's a poll. But your options are closer together. It's a closer fight.
You added Squigly but not Minette (for example). Why not add them both? Well okay, I like Skullgirls (for example) too. But let's say that either would be representative of and appealing to Skullgirls fans. But if I add them both, you can bet that neither will have a good chance. Why? Because all the Skullgirls votes will be divided between the two. Meaning neither will come out ahead. It's basically assuring that both will win. Adding Felicia AND Morrigan? That'd do the same thing.
SO AND SO SHOULDN'T HAVE WON. THEY'RE JUST POPULAR. It's a poll. It literally runs based on popular and majority vote. I can't help that. All I can do is ATTEMPT to balance the choices. But in the end, I mean dude people love what's hot this month.
Alright, suggestion box is open again. Right here. Just comment. For the second round each month, I'll include both new suggestions AND old ones from months past (who didn't win)!
But get to suggesting.
I'll upload the first color ctenophorae comic in a bit too. But for now here's Feli.
Again, moved the poll to DA because public voting sites were encouraging a lot of suspicious and cheaty voting patterns. Which isn't cool. Sorry it has to be on DA, but that's the best option.

I kept it smaller this time. We'll see how a four way vote goes. We'll let some game girls fight it out on the first poll. The second poll will consist of show and comic type girls. That's later!
This month is TWO winners so get to it! Suggest away with a comment, then I'll put a poll up. In order to encourage HONEST voting this time, the poll will have to be run on Deviantart though. So keep that in mind!
Sorry I'm late on POSTING these sources this month.
Once again I've gone overboard on the color comic updates... So much so, that I'm going to be making some changes to Patreon rewards in order to encourage more of them. Since I'm enjoying them and everyone else is as well, and since I'm more apt to just doodle whenever, I'll be getting rid of the sketch updates option, and turning it into another Full Color Comic. Which is just better. Better quality, better story, better everything.
So enjoy the source files below!
Still gotta upload the first full comic AND the little Doki pinup's source files, but in the meantime here is Marcy!
I'm a pretty trusting person. I'm also understanding of the way the world works. Yes, you can vote more than once on the polls. It's possible. It's not normal though. People have been well behaved thus far. I've seen attempts at manipulation, but nothing successful. However, it's become PRETTY APPARENT that a nasty few people are abusing the system this time.
Normally this isn't a problem. It would take some VERY angry and VERY dedicated people to cause a major upstart. See, you get to see the timeline for voting. And when certain options spike in the hundred suddenly over an hour. Well, something is amiss. And considering that I'm generous enough to allow public voting, well... Anyone can throw this thing awry. But up until now this hasn't been an issue. Usually people are honest. And we are all understanding that, hey, this IS a popularity contest in a lot of ways. And I'm here to make some money, so I MUST follow the majority's decisions. Still, I MUST ensure that everyone has the same opportunities to vote. Fairly.
I love Seaport Hime, but a staggering thousand+ votes suddenly is frankly not normal. And a sudden 500 for Rao is clearly not normal. Nor a sudden 600+ for Marceline. Not that Marceline was not a forerunner. But clearly a few people are very interested in fixing these numbers.
SO... for now, I'm going to have to disqualify Seaport. Even though I love her too. A sudden 1000+ votes is insane. And I think you'll all agree with me on her disqualification in this case.I'm also going to have to discount the suspicious 500+ for Rao. Marceline was already winning despite a crazy 600 votes in one hour. These arose suddenly along with Seaport. So Marceline is the winner on this one.
Since some people this time have royally fucked up the poll, in the future, polls will be conducted elsewhere. PROBABLY DIRECTLY IN THE STREAM. You still won't have to be a supporter to vote or participate though. This is in order to ensure honest behavior. This hasn't been a problem in polls up until this point. But it's unfair to give a very angry single person control over this situation. I'm not satisfied doing that. I think you'll all agree with me on this as the best and most fair solution.
Since we made 500 in support, that means two fanarts a month. But that won't apply until next month!! I'll get an additional one done regardless anyway though. Probably decided through an in-stream poll.
And in the future, well, there will no longer be long term public voting. Voting will be done either on Deviantart (requiring a DA account...) for a few days, or done very suddenly in the stream itself.
C'est la vie!
Marceline the Vampire Queen - Adventure Time
Minette - Skullgirls
Rao - Okami
Lydia Deetz - Beetlejuice
Seaport Hime - KanColle

Of course, if I get like 20 more dollars in support I'll be able to do the first AND second place winners! Neato!!
It's that time again. Hit me up below with fanart suggestions!
Are attacheeddd. I also threw in Rosalina just cuz I love you guys. I upgraded the final doodles for this month into a last comic for the month too. And those just got posted.
THIS WAS A ROUGH MONTH. FUCK OCTOBER. Let's hope for better in November eh?
Alrighty! Attached are the source files for the first comic update and the cteno related pin-up!
I still have a few sketch updates and one more color comic to do this month, but I've got time. October sucked really bad. OH man.
AW YEAH.
File is a little convoluted, as there's layers for effects at the top. The layers for the drawing and sketches are underneath, but are defaulted to off.
First off. I'm taking it slow. I'm an anxious guy so I think the past
week has had more of an impact on me than I really understood. So I'm
taking it slow. Which is smart and okay. I just wanted to let you guys
know that though. And maybe expect streams to be a little shorter and
sporadic for a day or two.
But I'm also on schedule, and opening up the first fanart poll. So go Vote!
The options arreeee...
Lisia - Pokemon ORAS
Jubilee - X-Men
Storm - X-Men
Naoto Shirogane - Persona 4
Female Protagonist - Persona 3 Portable
Hsien-ko - Darkstalkers
And you can vote here:http://goo.gl/H5SB7l
ALRIGHTY. Last month I overkill'd on the color comic updates. But that's okay! I mean doing MORE than I need to is better than just normal amount, right? I've attached sources to this update for those!
Sorry things have been wonky lately, with less streams and all. Last week was a week from hell where literally everything that COULD have went wrong, DID go wrong. Things went so wrong that even our rental car broke down.
And I got conjunctivitis! NEAT!
But anyway... most of that is getting cleared up... life goes on...
So download these source files, and also SUGGEST THINGS FOR FANART PINUP TIME!!!! DO IT BELOW!!! YEAH!
Much to my OWN chagrin, Miia is the popul-
I mean... the trend-
Er... The the people's winner. Which is a nice way of saying anime waifu of the season. STILL! I will do good on her for your all! You will have your snek tiddies!
I admit to playing way too much Taken King over the last few days. So I'm gonna stream it up in a bit and start the monthly doodles. And hopefully get back into drawing mode. So get asks into Ctenophorae!http://ctenophorae.com/ask
VOTE NOW VOTE NOW I picked the monster girls. Seaport Hime is MY personal choice but the people will decide.
http://goo.gl/YoHXIB
First off, attached is the source file to the first color comic update. NEAT.
Second off, Fanart voting for this months pin-up will happen soon, so GET WITH SUGGESTIONS!!! By making suggestions here. Once again I'll pick a few and then put it up to a public vote! Stocking is excluded because she won last time. But things suggested last time can be suggested again.
Get to it! Enjoy the weekend!
Vomi is the star this time. And there will be Vomi related story this month. Mysterious trash girl.
I'm all caught up for this month, and next month is about to begin. There will be a lot MORE this month, and it's neat because it's going to be what I schedule around!
Anyway, attached are the source files for the pinup update (Doki and ALC) and the Cteno daki too, just because here, have it. Obviously the daki file isn't large enough to actually print a daki with by any means, but it's still good for learnin'!
There's a clean version, but honestly I don't like it, so here's a crop that I DO like. Full versions i up on tumblr. Stocking won the vote, and I was thinking about doing a Malon edit, but honestly I feel like Malon deserves her own drawing. So I'll get on that separately.
But maybe I'll do a color edit for the runner up.
Here:http://www.poll-maker.com/poll394417x4F144D80-15
I picked my own six favorites, but it's up to you guys to pick from that. Splatoon is simply NOT an option because it's too popular and banned-from-the-internet-a-riffic. Sooooo nope.
As another reward is a fanart pinup, well, we're gonna do that this month! NEATO!
So here's how it's going to go, everyone suggest stuff here. Make a comment. I'll pick some of my own favorites, and then put it up to a vote this weekend.
Alright, getting back into the swing of stuff. As you can see over on Ctenophore, some of the sketch updates and the first full color update went live. Or at least were linked if if ended up a little spicy. The source file will be posted for that on my art blog later too!
But, in order to save you all from nine disparate posts with varying source files, I've compiled the entire Pon Set from this summer into one conveniant file. Which you can all download free, even if you aren't a subscriber. Or you can subscribe! Or get it Pay What You Want in a one time payment over on my tumblr or DA. Though I won't post about it on DA until tomorrow.
In other news, since I'm getting back into the swing of stuff, I might readjust the reward levels. Nothing already gotten will change, but I thought it might be smart to do the rewards based on my monthly bills and expenses. Loans, Insurance, Electricity and such.
But I'll talk about that later. I need to revamp my stream's look at little bit, and stream. And post about this on tumblr. NEATO! THANKS GUYS. ENJOY.
Alright, hey everyone! First off, thanks for being patient with slow updates. Luckily, I got all of my rewards for July done in June. Which included the Cookie Dough Full Color Update 1 and the Nellko / Sergei Full Color. I also did more than the required amount of stream sketch updates. But doing all of this back in June might make it seem like I'm slacking this month, so I apologize.
I've been really busy prepping for the Pony Convention next weekend. I'm hardly a Brony Bro Bro, but I do think they're cute. And more to the point, the convention is downtown and I have the privilege to vend with Raikissu and Co. So I'm pretty excited. That also explains all of the pony stuff lately. If you're not a fan, I apologize. If you are, then you're having fun. If you don't really care either way, then please enjoy the continued source files.
AFTER the con I'll be able to focus back on Patreon and Ctenophorae more. I'll also probably be using Patreon to reward/sell the Ctenophorae Daki mk II. Which there is a sketch for on the tumblr blog!
In the meantime, here's the Vinyl Scratch source file! AND THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT THROUGH THE CON PREP. CTENO AND CO THANK YOU.
Figured this would also make a nice little source file! And there's no nips or nothing so I can post it hereeee
We're not to the 300 mark, but I'm gonna share this source for you guys anyway. The second full color cteno update went live too, although it's linked from Ctenophorae to Slugboxcreatureart. I'll share that source file later tonight on Creatureart since I can't do it here.
Ahead of schedule even. I'm not supposed to do these until next month, but a boost is nice. The source file is here, but it's kinda messy. Mostly because my comic source files are ALWAYS messy. At the end it's a rush to fix so many little things, you just start making new layers everywhere. But they're at least grouped!
Thank you everyone! I'm gonna do the last two ask updates tomorrow, since this big update just went live last night. I'll stream it too, obv!
I think the rewards apply to the NEXT month, but I don't see any harm in getting started. I also have to more ask updates to do, and a second full color. So I'll be splitting the full colors up between something tame and cute and something more fanservicey. Sound good?
I think I'll do the ask box answers live in a stream. That seems like fun for everyone. They're simple anyway. Sound good? I'll sketch out the Ashiji and Cteno full color tomorrow, and then start the stream after or the day after! Neato!
Neato, this might not be up on tumblr yet, but it's up now for you guys! YAH!!!
Do you guys want to do it on THIS update, or use it on the one after update? The next update is the last little part of this Vomi arc. Afterwards it's some Cteno and Ashiji cuteness. Either works! I'll let you guys pick!

Alright, the first post is a new little swimsuit pack. Pretty normal stuff. The pack is also available on AwfulSlugMonster on a one time-pay-what-you-want offer. But getting it from here gets people rewards and stuff so... Hmm... I guesssssss I'm just... gonna do this, huh? I don't really know what to say. Thank you guys, first off. For everything. I'm really hungry... God I'm hungry... I'll also make a big post over on tumblr and DA and all, but since you guys are like already aware of the whole deal, I won't waste your time! Go eat too! You're probably hungry too. It's a hungry day.
I'm also looking at like, how this is all set up. This is my first post, after all! It seems like I can attach a file here but also let EVERYONE see it, including non subscribers. If that's the case, that really saves me a bit of a headache rushing to get everything launched here AND on ASM at the same time. Because I guess everyone can download it, which I want to be an option. SOOOo yeah! Neato! Not that I didn't already upload the pack on ASM...
Okay. Food time. Let me know if this is working properly or... yeah... You can comment apparently too. NEAT! I'm editing this now. Do I have to reattach the file? Maybe. I hope it doesn't duplicate. If it does, they're the same file.
