I used to do it, and my honest advice is to not. It’s way too easy to get pulled into the cycle of wanting to try more and more, which can very quickly become dangerous.
That being said, if you’re set on doing it, use an aquarium pump, the cheaper the better for these purposes. They generally have just enough power to fill you up at a comfortable rate, but not nearly enough to push you once you’re full, so you don’t have to worry too much about doing any damage.
Also, use silicon aquarium tubing, usually labelled as ‘Deluxe’ or ‘Premium’, and sand down the edge on the end that you’ll be inserting, as difficult as it is with that material. Lube is almost optional with this, and your rump will be a lot more comfortable during and after.
Here and there as of late I’ve been letting folks know that I was soon going to be “coming back” in terms of drawing, and I’m happy to announce that time has finally come. Skipping over some details that need not be shared quite so publicly, and thanks to a good bit of foresight on my part, I have been able to quit my job, and will be able to spend the next few months growing bored with sitting on my ass. At some point, probably about a week, if even that long, I’ll turn once again to fending off this boredom by scribbling out all the fap material that everyone seems to have come to enjoy.
It’ll be just like old times, but without any of the latent teenage angst :D
As anyone that has contacted me in the past is aware, I’m not very good at being social. I never realized that I was actually having a genuine problem of any kind until recently when a good friend pointed out the fact that I was vastly more withdrawn than usual, which was already pretty deep. He made me sit and have a proper conversation, during which I finally saw how bad it had gotten.
This is something that I want to change, and will do my best to work on as time goes by.
I appreciate the thought, but I do not. There are, however, numerous artists on Patreon who do, and would be far more appreciative of them than I.
I no longer take either commissions, nor direct requests.
Indeed there will be more, though not necessarily of that same variety. Character drawings, concept art of the locations, stuff like that to help flesh out the world a bit better are on the way– well, they will be anyway, once I actually sit down and put everything into text, so there’s actually a world to flesh out.
It’s always kind of funny, and sometimes a little depressing, while browsing newly posted artwork across the internet. Every once in a while, someone will send me a note, or an email, with an idea about a commission. Then sometime later, be it days, or maybe a week or two, I’ll see an image by someone else matching the idea that’d been sent to me. I just find it interesting to sit back and say “That could have been one of mine”. I take a few moments to really analyze the piece, and more often than not, I can happily say that it worked out for the better in the end.
Time, that’s all. A good pop requires at least a two-part image sequence, and a great pop requires far more buildup. I do intend to knock out more popping sequences eventually, but at the moment these little sketches are all that I’ve got time for.
Rarely, and never directly (i.e. listening to ‘Pump it Up’ has never made me want to draw inflation, whereas the Digitalism Remix of 'Technologic’ has). The type of music that I listen to while working on a drawing does, however, greatly influence the tone of the piece.
I realized one the way home that people don’t necessarily mean to be creepy, it just sort of happens.
For example:
I was walking home from work tonight, as a storm was forecast to roll in so I hadn’t ridden my bike as usual (easier to hold an umbrella while walking). A good portion of the walk is through commercial areas, and through the town football field, or at least its ‘parking lot’. Seeing as I’d had an hours walk ahead of me, I set my tablet to play some Dr. Steel from my bag as I went on my way.
That’s when it hit me.
I was walking through a moonlit parking lot, still in my black work clothes, a black sword shaped umbrella in hand, as storm clouds and lightning began to take over and flash overhead, and all the while 'Bogeyman Boogie’ is echoing out from my little side bag.
And all the while I’m all :D
Nope; couldn’t think of anything to play around with this year.
Who’s us?
