My friend Malachyte has been exploring her little side a bit more actively as of late, and it's been a genuinely wonderful time helping and (somewhat zealously) encouraging her with that.

When she shared a sketch she'd made of herself in an adorable little's outfit and playing in a space to match, I jumped at the chance to contribute, and asked if she'd be okay with collaborating on the piece. Needless to say, she said yes.

Working with someone else's sketches is always such an interesting and exciting experience, cause there's a sort of conversation taking place at every step of the process. The linework is largely instructed by the sketches that are already in place, but there's a certain level of improvisation and decision-making that varies throughout; where the lines being worked on go anywhere from between being directly lifted up to the next layer, to just taken as vague suggestion.

I've always really admired Mal's artstyle and the expressiveness of her work, but also felt that our styles are almost adjacent to one another's. The entire process felt very natural to me as a result, thanks to several commonalities that they share.

As for how I feel about it? I fuckin' loved drawing her this way; it was just so much fun. Her sketches were a joy to work with, and even the parts I ended up improvising on or tweaking along the way felt trivial to do given her lovely anatomical work. Treating a friend to something like this is always special, and I'm really glad I got to do it, both with and for her.

Way back even before my hiatus, Dayton and I were discussing the possibility of making a trade or a collab of some kind together. When I started to gain a bit of a foothold again with making art, I got back in touch with them to discuss specifics and we agreed to mix up a bunch of things we were both into.

We threw together diapers and TF along with some implied hypno/magic shenanigans which I'm well known for. Here's Chocolate having her way with Dayton and "encouraging" him to shift from his typical raccoon form to something a little scalier.

He'll be handling the colours of this piece and I'm super excited to see how much better it'll look once it's done.

A few months back I made this sketch depicting Chocolate and Soul Choco as Nagoriyuki and Eddy from the Guilty Gear universe. Sigma then took the sketch and made the coloured version below as practice.

Redesigning the mask to fit Choco's rabbit features and tweaking Soul's appearance to mimic Eddy's were both fun exercises, and I think Sigma did an excellent job of bringing my rather loose gestural sketch to the next level.

A fellow artist friend approached me to do a collab a while back and here's where we're at!

I'm fond of how their character looks and I absolutely adore how cute they drew me too. They'll be finishing up their half of the colouring before we call it all done, but I figured it was worth sharing the WIP with you folks in the meantime.

About a month ago Blankie made a tweet asking who would be interested in collaborating or trading some art with them, and after PlushieDeex nominated me we got to talking and this was what resulted.

Blankie picked the prompt "Vaporwave" from my Twitter art idea listings, she drew Soul Choco and I drew her, then she designed the background and I stylized it further with effects and final touchups. You can see the different versions with various layers of stylizing below, going downwards in order from most to least.

It was really fun experimenting with similar techniques and seeing how she does her thing, not to mention exchanging some great art with an artist I admire, and working on something I had on my to-do list as well.

A couple of weeks ago, I took part in a joint stream to celebrate Tato's birthday along with LilChu, Rocky, Fevee, Joe and Gemini - at least as far as I was involved, as there were others who joined in after I had my turn and had to sign off for the evening.

Each round was time-limited so the work isn't my most polished, but it was a fantastic time going back to the quick-fire format that I used to do back on Patreon. To start with, here were my entries.

LilChu was my first target, and it was certainly very tricky to strike the right balance for him! I know he's not into regression and belittling, so I figured I'd try a different approach by instead putting myself a rung above instead of only taking him down several pegs.

I've been toying with the idea of Chocolate being a kind of angel investor who targets businesses with a kink-related model. LilChu has been making some really lovely art revolving around The Smol Cafe, which is an appropriately named cafe with a littles and babyfur theme.

Needless to say, it'd be a shoe-in for a visit from Chocolate for potential investment, but Chu wasn't gonna get out of showing a little "team spirit" to help secure the deal.

Next up was Feeves, whose character is actually an adult male un(?)lucky enough to have been regressed and genderswapped after falling into a pool of enchanted water.

She tries hard to resist what comes naturally to her younger body, but tantrums sometimes get the best of her and hardly help her case.

The last round I participated in had me subjecting Rocky to some embarrassment, and I figured that the best way to pile on the humiliation is to involve as many people as possible, right?

It's certainly a mystery how they ended up in such a compromising position, but maybe it could lead to a different kind of career in streaming?

NB: After the stream, this sparked a conversation with JamieBun which in turn inspired a fun way to take this idea further, one that I'd like to expand upon later.

By the end of it, I came in third based on number of votes for the most humiliating artwork. Tato came first, and while their score was helped by participating in every single round, they still made some genuinely impressive artwork in very little time. LilChu eked out a second place position over me in the final round, no less thanks to the artwork he made of me.

In those same three rounds, I was the target of Tato (link includes all other art by them, which involves messy diapers as well as more of the above), Joe (involves cartoony hijinks) and LilChu (hasn't been uploaded yet). It was a fantastically fun event and we all agreed to set something like it up again in future, so you can look forward to that.
