Welcome to Quicktober, where I literally just come up with whatever I want day to day, and force myself to spend no more than half an hour on each main element of the sketch.

Chip (my little facet) can be an absolute menace when she wants to be, and combined with her absolute mastery over military-grade puppy eyes, she knows she can have and get away with just about anything if she really wanted to.

Drawing this on stream and continuously upping the ante (heh, pupping the ante..) with the weaponized cute was the most fun I've had with doing the cute entirely on purpose.

How could you ever say no to a face like that??

As some of you may know, my friend Malachyte has been exploring her little side lately. I've been quite privileged to support her through this process, as it's been a bit daunting for her at times.

Late last year, she announced a multislot commission she was taking on stream, and I couldn't shove money into her paws any harder than I did to secure a spot in the piece. I still love it to absolute pieces.

A conversation that closely followed (or preceded?) then sparked the idea for a followup piece, as I'd been gunning for any excuse to draw her adorable little self as soon as I could. When it came to me, I knew it would be perfect to bring my little FaerieAlex into it too, as she likewise had been going through an "enlittlening," as I've taken to calling it, of her own. Given that the two of them were also acquainted, this seemed like the perfect idea to me.

I sketched it out mid October last year, and I waited very impatiently for her to finish redesigning her fursona, including her little self, to make sure I get the colours right. I'm so pleased to get this done and dusted, as I was determined to be the first to draw and post art of both of these little sweethearts' littler forms.

I love you both so much, Mala and Fae.

Star commissioned this cute series of diaper change scenes from me a while back, and I'm happy to have finally gotten it done.

I'm especially fond of the little bit of storytelling we worked into the series, given that it's one of my favourite things about his fursona too (his influence on others, to be specific). Keeping them uniform from one set to the next was a fun little exercise in execution, too. The last set is even based on a bed in a friend's guestroom I once had my diaper changed on.

Every now and again, the Little Troubles team organizes a gift exchange for participating artists. It works just like a secret santa, and this time it was themed around Summer vacation. We each submitted our Summer experiences, past or current, which acted as the prompt for the art we'd get from our assigned artists. That art would then be made into cards to be printed as part of the game's set.

You can see more about the game over at littletroubles.com.

My assigned recipient was Plant Panda, whose prompt talked about the deserts near their parents house that they loved to explore, enjoying the plant life found there. I decided to play with the idea of a literal "Baby Saguaro," which poor little Plant fell afoul of just because of their curiosity.

As I later found out, they seem to have a knack for getting pricked by the cacti they care for, so the pieces were truer to life than I was expecting.

It also turned out that some other artists had to drop out of the exchange, which left Melly Moona without anyone to make their gift art. Basil kindly offered a bounty for someone to fill the gap, and not wanting to leave her with nothing, I went for it.

Her Summer experience was a long road trip, where she got to stay in and see various places. Seemed to make sense to me that long stretches of road would cause anxiety for someone who might struggle with potty breaks, which led to this idea.

She said that this is how she looks during car rides, so I'll definitely chalk this one up as a win as well.

And here's the set I got! BottleBear treated me and Garnet to an absolutely precious set of scenes that about perfectly summed up my experiences lately. I submitted Garnet's reference sheet along with my request because she was involved in many of my adventures this Summer, but I expected (and specified) that her inclusion was optional, and only nice-to-have.

Either way - and needless to say - I was extremely happy with what Bottle cooked up for us, and it gave us lots of cozy, sweet feelings to enjoy together. I especially enjoyed how he played with my bun-to-pup transition in both illustrations, and love how adorable I look snuggled up to her.

These were posted with permission, and you can find BottleBear over on SubscribeStar as well as many other places besides. Please do check him out.

For Halloween I made something for myself as a treat, cause I was needing something fun for a change. This was actually Garnet's idea, which she shared with me with the intention of commissioning it, but I liked it so much that I made it anyway. The hardest part was naturally deciding between drawing myself as a puppy in a bunny costume, or a bunny in a puppy costume.

I neglected to put this on my site originally because I figured posting it publicly right away would make it redundant, but I forgot that's kinda the point of being on 10 different sites, after all. So here it is!

I still can't get over how much I love the response of "I'm bunny" to Garnet calling me a clever girl.

Feels almost like a lifetime ago now, but even still, I hope you had a good Halloween.

A while back I was feeling especially little and especially good, so I funneled that happy energy into something special for me and Garnet.

I'm always quite proud of the faces and expressions I draw, but the smiles on this one are extra special to me.

Today seemed like an especially appropriate day to post it, too.

After a heart-to-heart a while back, I noted that my girlfriend Arwyn was feeling a tad stretched thin, and got inspired to sic Dark Chocolate on her and give her a little bit of well deserved little time.

I'm genuinely so very pleased with this, and had so much fun making it for my adorable little pup.

Love you, my sweet Little Bit.

There isn't much for me to add about this, other than that I believe it to be one of the most beautiful things I've ever created.

Last month's stream was dedicated to adding more items to Wolfie's dressup game, and a quick, cutesy little sequel drawing to round things off at the end.

You can play with the updated version of the game here, but here are the newly added outfits exported as standalone pictures. The first two were requested specifically by Wolfie, while the third and fourth were something I found inspiration for online or from our ever-growing list of shared art ideas. While they were all very fun to make, they're pretty much entirely one-piece items that won't really mix and match all that well with the other items.

I'm sure you'll find creative ways to work around that, though.

Lastly, he asked me to draw a sequel to an older piece I'd made last year (but never got around to uploading publicly yet, whoops), implying some regression following it. It was a ton of fun to stretch the toony look of my style farther than usual, and I think it turned out really cute, too.

It's a Secret

SIKE! It’s SUPER FOXLET!

July was rough for me, but I still got some sketches done in between bigger site art and commissioned work.

I was not doing okay for most of the time due to some major life events, and this resulted from a cute little comic that popped up on my Twitter feed and touched a nerve that was still quite raw from the experience.

Next is another silly thing from Twitter, based off of the "BIG X vs BIG Y" meme that was making the rounds at the time. It was a good excuse to draw something fun and cute for my good friends Wolfie and Ru at the same time, especially given, well, them.

I could've probably exaggerated the sizes a bit more but, eh.

Last but not least: wahs.

Plushie and I kept tossing back and forth a screencap I'd taken and captioned of one of the fuzzy dumbasses from the hundreds of videos we shared with each other, and figured it made a good base for a sticker for her as a little gift.

I also practiced trying to capture their iconic and adorable empty-headed vibes, with somewhat mixed success.

POV: You're giving me a bath and I'm having a very fun time.

A friend linked me to a rather littlespace-inducing video of assorted bath toys which seemed to spark a rather intense need in my head to draw this for myself. The linework for this was very intricate for what it is, but it all felt worth it if only to put a little bunny's smiling face down on paper.

Wolfie came up with a cute idea I started working on during his streams, creating a dressup doll of Austin with lots of different items to mix and match with.

It's been a really fun project with a lot of practice involved in setting up the layering just right for all the clothes to work both alone and as part of a combined outfit.

Best of all, you can play around with the current version of the dressup game here! Just let it load and then use the layer list in the right toolbar (if it's hidden, its icon looks like three stacked sheets) to toggle items on or off.
