I asked for ideas on Bsky from folks cause I was wanting to see what other people might come up with, and Kaycee came up with this fantastic concept that added another clever spin on Soul's meta, fourth-wall-breaking fuckery.

Given my experience with art software it made perfect sense to me that Soul would use similar looking methods of doing exactly that, and I figured Kaycee deserved to be the one subjected to the treatment given that they suggested it to me.

I had a ton of fun with this.

It's that time again! Got a lot of cute and silly things I've made in between other projects or as warmups during streams.

In the first, quite eclectic set, we have an assortment of Bluesky shenanigans. In order, we have a colouring project from one of Lynn's bunny designs, which I got inspired to use for a Gotye reference; Plushie telling us what her gender is in one word; and me taking an opportunity to do a well-overdue drawover of a classic furry meme.

These were assorted doodles done during various streams for or involving, in order, Mot, Arwyn, Songbot, and a friend of Melody's.

And some bonus bunnies, as a reward for checking out my post. I found this set of sketches while digging up designs for my merch store, and hadn't uploaded anywhere.

A while back, I started the process to get my name changed proper.

My sister-in-law is a notary, and while she couldn't handle it for me due to conflict of interest, she did the preliminary research and drafted the contract to save me some time and money down the line. Given the extent to which I wanted to change my name (changing every one of my four given names, and adding another), she saw it necessary to consult with the registrar and check if it was permitted.

The people she spoke to literally had to research prior case law to answer her questions. When she told me this, I said, "so you're saying I'm too transgender for the law," which she didn't disagree with. She later even confirmed that I am likely the first person in my country to do this.

After sharing the story on Bluesky, my friend Melody made a really fun suggestion that led to this piece. It was fun combining me with Chili to achieve this look, especially given how I've been channeling this energy as of late.

Fun fact, you can now also BUY this design on clothing, stickers, and more!

As thanks for giving me the idea, I included Melody in the background of an alternate version, reacting accordingly.

Yesterday was Arwyn's Birthday! So I made something for her, to celebrate. She'd been mountain biking that day, so I figured it was a suitable idea to go with.

Happy Birthday darling, I'm glad it was such a good one for you.

Here's the most recent doodle pack finished from the end of last year. Some of these have been posted on social media but here they are in one place for archival and easy access.

Starting with the personal and somewhat emotional stuff, we have one that was inspired by a video that lived in my head rent free for weeks after it was posted and crossed my path. I had to draw myself as that tiny little puppy, cause I felt it.

The other piece was inspired by a predictably difficult time I was having in the midst of a good one, which was equally frustrating as it was upsetting to deal with.

Next we have a couple of pieces of game fanart which are strangely both horror focused and yet the resulting art ended up being completely tonally different. On the left, we have Blocks for Babies, a tetris FPS (you'll see); and on the right, an idle nightmare 2: SABBATH, a clicker game (trust me, it's good).

I will mention that the fanart of IN2 isn't based on any specific scenes from the game, but just something I imagined could have happened in the game.

Next, we have assorted stream gifts and raffle prizes, going in order;

FaerieAlex, Fiona, ShadeTavish, BlazingPelt, James, TrixterCat, and Plushie; Melody, Halley (ft. Arwyn), Dal and Pockets; Trixter's displacer beast; and another bonus Fiona.

Another batch of scribbles; some silly, some sentimental.

Myself, feeling pleased from the praise I was getting; TipTap and Arwyn, during a rather bratty exchange; Me comforting Millie (aka Malachyte) during a heart-to-heart we shared; and a redraw of a classic meme with me in it instead.

And last, but not least, some assorted but more detailed giftart for friends.

Arwyn, being her usual mischievous self; a rendition of a plushie that belongs to my friend Valk; and a drawover with me and Melody using an Animal Crossing screenshot she'd taken for a project of her own.

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.

A while back there was an art meme/trend going around on Bsky and I threw my hat in while secretly resolving to draw something in return for anything I received (up until I made the reveal and posted the surprise, of course).

Here's the stuff I made for the sweet folks who replied with their creations for me.

First we have the quickie busts I made for the littler sketches I got, including Socks, Angel, Fiona, Dal and Lynn.

And here are the more detailed busts I made for folks who made more detailed pieces. In order, we have Melly Moona, Melody, Rain, Pommy, Pockets, and Tagaziel.

These were a lot of fun to make, especially in return for pieces of giftart.

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.

So I do this thing where I keep one big file for my quick and simple, cheap and cheery doodles and sketches that might not warrant their own entire project file. Every now and again I refresh the file with a new copy, and post all the pictures at once for your enjoyment.

I took my time with this latest one, but since the file reached 450MB and was literally slowing down Clip Studio I figured it was high time I made the batch post and start afresh. Here they are in no particular order, just grouped in a way that made the most sense to me.

Here's a handful of one-off drawings I made for Plush, Feef, and James. The first two were warmups, while the other was inspired by James being his usual self - as depicted - during one of my Discord hangouts. What started out as a bit of a silly joke actually led to me digging up some preg art I'd done that I honestly still really like and am genuinely proud of.

Can you name those tummies?

Last weekend I stumbled upon this adorable tweet while I was having an especially bad day, and decided I'd make some silly vent art to get it out of my system. It turned out cute enough, but as a point of advice in future; don't make self deprecating jokes when you're already feeling bad. People might just agree with you.

Fortunately the art didn't go to waste, as I was later inspired by a silly TikTok that my friend Melody shared with me. I reprised the little doodle in a different context, and I think I like it a lot better that way.

I still think that I'm a little bit stupid, though.

Next we have some assorted silliness and/or one-offs I made for myself or in the context of other conversations.

First we have a transparent template of myself being shown something worrying, taken from my Easter comic;

A redo of an old display pic I'd been using for nigh on 20 years, as part of my broader transition process;

An illustration for my friend Shivers' silly tweet asking how C++ would wear pants if it could;

And a cutesy, perfectly innocent little Soul Choco and the post that it was inspired by.

Games! I like them. I made some fanart and self-insert designs based on the adorable game Vividlope, and a little drawover using the demo of the upcoming castle building toy Tiny Glade. I'm especially pleased with how cutesy Ruby turned out in Vividlope's style.

I'd been meaning to do some drawover art using one of these building toys, but I was always reluctant cause it feels like my default style doesn't fit well within the rendered spaces. I think it looks alright, but it could've been better somehow.

Next, lots of Melody bunnies.

The first is based on a conversation between her and Robin, where she threatened to drink the Coconut Nair soap and Monster she'd shown off to us. It's genuinely one of the most unassumingly conflicting thing I've drawn, cause every time I look at it I love how adorable they both look... But that little bunny is soon bound for the emergency ward.

We also have some cutesy doodles of the bun in less compromising positions.

Here's a couple of sketches I made for my friend Cashmere, who I got to know recently.

A hug to comfort them after a moment of worry, and some fanart of the little tinsel plushie red panda they've been taking on a trip with them, named after the nickname that I coined for them.

And as a treat for looking through this whole post, a bonus Ruby pleasuring herself.

Arwyn got herself a new fursona! This is Scratch, and she's a sweetheart (and a bit of a hole but shh).

She's been tinkering with the idea for a little while and recently settled on a design. I promptly put to canvas the second I could, based off of the VRChat avatar design she made and the pup hood she got done for her too.

She's a smaller dog than Arwyn, just that Little Bit more carefree and happy-go-lucky (an honestly impressive feat if you ask me ) and perhaps a little less bratty, but that part's left to be seen. I love them both to bits, but needless to say I was pretty excited to see my girlfriend exploring her own identity with new fursonas too - it was certainly a bonus that she also happened to be a pup.

A while back I also found this perfect collar tag while browsing a pet store for no particular reason (*cough*), so I made a little art to include with the gift package I planned to send it to her in.

This was before she made Scratch, but given the coincidental colours of the tag, it was too good not to include this here.

Kiburi ordered a grab bag asking for more of what I've been supplying him for a while now, and with Dark Chocolate having joined my roster since the last time he wanted to be made little and helpless, I figured it was high time she got let loose on some of my clientele as well.

Poor little lioncub doesn't even know what hit him.

While talking about the commission with him the next day, he revealed to me that his hypnotist, who's been rummaging around inside his head for a good long while now, is Summer Vixen; someone I've known of and heard about through other hypnotist friends who appreciate her work. One thing led to another, and she got in touch.

Needless to say I was a little bit starstruck, but we got to talking about all sorts of things hypnosis that I'd been wanting to discuss with her. After a lot of in-depth shop-talk I decided to make this silly little sketch as a token of gratitude for the both of them. Between Summer's hypnosis and my art, I'd say we've got a little kitten pretty comprehensively hecked up

This project came to me the weekend I was bouncing back from the emotional time I dealt with towards the end of last month, and felt on the verge of burnout. I felt strongly enough about the idea to have gotten most of the art done even while I was in power-saving mode to try staving off the worst of my burnout, and after some very conspicuous planning, I finally got the third and final part of this imageset done during my last stream.

The concept was quite simple. I realize that my three girls have their own kind of vibe, and while there's a fair bit of overlap between them, they all definitely fulfill unique roles, each of their very own. Following some lovely experiences I shared with very dear friends lately, the ideas I needed to put together as a showcase of these roles with the (surely surprising) theme of "diapers" in mind pretty much wrote themselves.

I just needed to get around to drawing them.

First up is another scene featuring my sweet little friend Faefae, one that she inspired herself. It seems she's since acquired a special surrogate for Miss Chocolate to keep an eye on her charge, even in her absence...

There's definitely nothing at all amiss with Fae's soft, cuddly friend, and her emphatic display of why she needs her diapers so much is most certainly entirely her own doing.

Next is... An admittedly extremely personal piece, featuring a littler me in the middle of a well-needed change under my Mommy Garnet's care.

The friend clutched in my paws and helpfully hiding my embarrassment is called Almond. She's a horse plushie that Garnet and her husband Piter gave me as a gift when I was visiting over the holidays, and is very special to me. She brings me great comfort, especially on those nights when I'm feeling lonely and vulnerable, so it only made sense to include her in this piece.

Allowing myself the space to get more personal with this, Garnet's line about me being "made of fluff and sparkles" was something she said to me the same day that I later made this, and I had to bite my tongue pretty hard at the time to avoid replying with an obvious joke, and ruining the surprise. I borrowed the line to elevate the intimacy of the piece, which I think it does to great effect.

But even more personal still... Getting changed out of a diaper I absolutely destroyed by someone I feel so safe with is such a huge fantasy of mine.

Thirdly, Ruby "rounds out" the set with my friend Katie, both of us looking quite sheepish - and extremely mushy too.

As I've mentioned in the past, I've had a bit of a history of influencing her fursona, and it's something I cherish; but more often than not those changes have a tendency of bouncing back onto me. This latest rebound was a long time coming. Seeing the two of us side by side (or hind to hind, more like) should make the similarities of our woolly forms a lot more pronounced - and that's mainly because in our little shared continuity, we both got turned into pamper-destroying lambs in a similar way.

A special, magical nursery which we conjured up - and rather creatively call "Nursery" by name - is normally tasked with taking care of her, but it sometimes has its way with me too. As the story goes, it caught wind of one of my rather pronounced flights of fancy and decided it'd be better if it forced my form into something more appropriate for the meek, submissive, suggestible urges I was indulging in. Conveniently, Katie was still stuck in a similar shape, so I found myself in good company once I got done ruining my first magically manifested pamper.

Both Ruby and Katie lambies are especially heavy messers, something they absolutely revel in, so it makes sense that they'd indulge each other together like this. Honestly, I think it might easily be a nightly occurrence given how often it happens, and how much they both enjoy it.
