I am super excited for this, but your update schedule... 😩 Be kind to yourself, these drawings are too intricate to update three times a week with colored comic pages. Burnout is a very real thing, it's a marathon not a sprint!
I say that but I also can't wait to see more. But take your time!

It'd be tough for me to narrow down since a lot of them cover similar ground. I'd probably choose stuff with full size furniture because I love that stuff, so the recent plane comic posts or stroller pics like in these holiday pieces:

Wanted to share some Christmas themed pics I have done over the years! I love Christmas vibes, so I always tried to do holiday themed pics back when I was doing single illustrations for TCP.
The trio in the foreground in the first pic are @carnival-tricks.bsky.social's characters!

I love Christmas but NY is just fine. It's there I guess! I get the day off work so that's nice. But I am all in on Christmas.

I make fun of it but I love pumpkin spice. I also love peppermint. If you forced me to choose between the two... that would be a really tough choice.

We only have two speeds in the rain here:
1 - way slower than conditions require
2 - way faster than conditions allow
And the mix of the two is just a disaster. Staying inside with a pet is the way to go!

(Very much read this in Dominic Monaghan's "have you worn wigs? Will you wear wigs?" voice, haha)
But no, I actually looked through all of my TCP work and the only manatee appearance is a graphic on a bib.
I did get a rocket manatee commission from InnerHavn! At some point I will need to draw one

Man I wish all the cool Japanese artists I followed would ditch the bird site, but sadly I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon.

You know, someone once wrote a fanfic of one of my pics (without asking) involving tendon cutting and I have been a bit turned off ever since!

Answered this in a little more detail in another question but Pinterest, tumblr, blogs, and observation tend to be the main ones!

Sometimes I get hyperfocus, sometimes I'm scatterbrained... just a lot of variables all around.
I'd say 1 day at the quickest, 4 days at the slowest? It's hard to gauge, too, because I'm usually picking at things in between other work, and working on multiple pages at the same time.

This is never a satisfying answer, but "it depends."
If the page is only a couple panels, it can go pretty quick. If there are 8 panels, with tricky expressions, and/or a complicated BG, it can really take forever.

I think it's super cool! I think it's one of the coolest parts of the internet. Easier than it's ever been now, too!

Pinterest was a huge help; it's harder to navigate with the AI slop but still useful.
I generally like to try to incorporate ABDL elements into real world design, it's a fun challenge and I think the subtlety is more intriguing.

Thank you! It takes a lot of time, haha.
I started really getting into designing outfits during the tumblr indie pop aesthetic and I think I'll always have affection for that, specifically. But different characters require different looks, so it's all about meeting those specific requirements.

Usually pizza or this place near us that does these really good fried chicken sandwiches, they're so good.

Sigh I know the feeling. We didn't have anything too bad this time fortunately, but I live on a hill and my backyard is slowly becoming my front yard every time it rains.

It's been raining like crazy the past few days, but it's just stopped! Luckily I did not have to drive very much.

Have you been out here long enough to start looking at the rain while sighing, "we needed this?"
