Un-Animated

Finally fully finished a nice, new picture, made it all nice ‘n shiny, and posted it to FA. I rather dig how well it came out, even though I restarted the shading on it about three times… anyway, if there’s one big thing that bugs me about it, it’s that because it’s only cell shaded, there’s no reason I shouldn’t have animated it. Alright, maybe not that picture in particular, because there’s not a whole lot I could have done with it due to the pose, but for the most part, I’m always kinda’ disappointed these days after “completing” a cell shaded picture. The technique for converting an image to an animation isn’t hard, and it doesn’t even take that long, adding maybe an hour or two more to the process if it adds time at all. I’m trying to learn more realistic shading to avoid all that nonsense, but when I feel like being lazy, I revert to cell, and then I get sad.

I know a number of people at this point are probably wondering “If it’s really so easy, why isn’t that Renamon animation done yet?” and the answer is that I don’t know what to do with it. Add in breast expansion, maybe change to a full body inflation, or hourglass, should I make it manual, or just click and watch; I’m still deciding on that stuff, but that’s besides the point. The main thing is that, barring a few little non-creation related hiccups, the total work time of that animation will be barely longer than the image I’d just posted.

So what does this mean for everyone else? What’s the point of making yet another whiny ass post? Well, there isn’t one, really. I guess just take from it the knowledge that, in the future, if ever you see me post something that is just cell shaded, you can feel warm and fuzzy being 'in the know’ about the fact that I was probably just being a lazy. Also, assuming I can actually build up the willpower for it, I’m also kinda’ saying that I have every intention to begin spewing forth far more animations in the future than have ever been seen before.

I quite like your idea of having free reign of characters as that's my prime reason for getting commissions, to see other people's interpretations. Where would we commission you for these ideas?

At the moment, nowhere, it’s just an idea I’d had. If I do indeed decide to roll with it, I’ll probably make an announcement on FA, or just do streams, or something like that.

R & D (Accidental Rant)

Another thing, unrelated to the thing I posted five minutes ago, that I’ve been thinking about. A lot of artists that I see all over the internets have the opposite issue as me, in terms of R & D. I hardly produce anything anymore, yes I’m fully aware of that fact. I spend most of my creating time trying to figure out new ways to draw things, better ways to draw it, or just learning new things altogether (as in the fact that I can actually draw human faces now, and not just animu style either). I’ve noticed, though, that a good chunk of other artists haven’t improved in any noticeable way in years: Still making the same anatomical mistakes, still shite with line weight or quality, still can’t color worth a damn, etc. The thing is, though, that they still churn out images near daily, and it pisses me off sometimes. I want to do that. I want to knock out drawing after drawing, day after day. It’s hard for me to switch gears though. It’s hard for me to look at a drawing, even if I’ve spent hours on it, and honestly say “Yes, this looks as good as I can make it.” Even if it’s true, I know I can make their face, or a specific body part look better, more realistic, if I just spent more time trying different things. That Doggy picture two posts ago? I completely redrew that exact image, same pose and everything, four times before drawing that one. Each time I changed things a little bit; the style of his head, his eyes, expression, position, body language, even changing up the size and shape of his entire figure. Despite that, though, it honestly still bugs the shit out of me. What I’ve come to at this point is that I just get fed up with trying to figure it out, and post what I’ve finished. I’m really kinda’ curious if any other artists actually go through that, or if everyone else is capable of just drawing something once and calling it good, without even a second thought about how it could look better.

Damn that became long…

Pay to Play?

I had a thought earlier that I kinda’ like at the moment, but still need to mull over a bit. One thing that has always kinda’ ate at me when doing commissions is when someone has this really cute or sexy character, and they ask me to draw them in some otherwise kinda’ lame scenario, at least in my own opinion. So the idea that I came up with would be to have a cheaper commission option where people just let me play with their character as I see fit, and I mean absolutely.

Usually a coquettish femboi? Maybe he’ll stay that way, or maybe he’ll be forced to pack on a few hundred pounds of fat via tentacles and burst through that corset. Hell, maybe he’ll just burst.

Curvy gal? More like balloon!

Flat chested? More like balloon!

Balloon? More like Flat chested but still kinda’ curvy!

I dunno, it was just a silly thought; we’ll see if I’m still in the mood to do somethin’ like this later on down the road.

Why not put your own spin on folklore? It's normally where the twisted fun is (to me anyway)

Nah, twisting folklore around is for anime series’ and network television shows. We’re furries, we make up our own shit as we go along and as we see fit.

Whats the weirdest thing you ever tried drawing?

Probably the hyper muscled male ballerina.

in the japanesse folklore, tanuki can change the size of his testicle at will, you will draw a tanuki making his ball growing or inflate ? ^^

While there’s a lot that I dig about Japan ‘n all of its stuff, the whole deal with the tanuki never really appealed to me, and in many cases is a complete turnoff. So instead, have a femboi tanuki dog pumping his nuts to near bursting for the shear pleasure of doing so.

What part of you bunny self do you like the look of the best, since most people tend to have a little detail they love the most. :)

Do you have any particular favorites for what portion of a person is inflated or filled, such as the stomach, genitals, buttocks, chest, etc.? What about what might cause the growth (water, air, slime, cum, food, people, etc.)?

While I can dig a good variety of everything listed there and more, my absolute favorite will always be simply inflating someone’s belly with air.

Is there any significance behind your fursona's appearance and design? Is it mostly aesthetic, or is there something more to it?

Originally, no, there was no particular significance. Then one slow day at work I had a lot of spare time on my hands, so I figured out a whole long-ass story that explains everything about my character’s transformation from a wolf to a rabbit, his appearance, and numerous other things that happen in the little world that I’ve set him in.

Cookies or cake?

When the option is available, one should always choose BOTH! >:3

1) You're really awesome ^^ Love your work =3 2) How long does it take for you to draw something out, like, a single picture? Is there any kind of routine you go through as you draw?
  1. Thanks ^w^;
  2. Well, the fastest I can draw is around five or ten minutes. From there it just depends on what I’m drawing, how I’m drawing it, and what mood I’m in. Maybe the ten minutes will be good enough, maybe it’ll take weeks (or even years) to get it done. My routine is usually: sloppy skeleton > detail face / head > sloppy flesh out > refine. It makes it near impossible to do a clean looking sketch for commissions, but it does allow me to knock out spur of the moment stuff right when I feel the need, without dragging it on after I’ve lost interest.

Regarding the questions you get that aren't bots, would it surprise you to know the same person has asked the anonymous questions you've answered every time?

Nah, it wouldn’t surprise me at all. I’m neither important nor popular enough to warrant any amount of real traffic, or generate interest in my thoughts on any given subject.

Are pretty selective with whom you art trade with if you do at all?

Only on the standard stuff, like quality and subject matter. If I’m going to spend time working on a drawing for them and their interests, it’s not going to be for something they just “sneezed out”, if you will, and doesn’t interest me at all.

How many questions do you get every day? Aside from the bot ones.

Usually just one.
