I made these badges for my friends Plushie and Ran, in time for ScotiaCon '26; both plushie themed! Quite pleased with how the art turned out on them both.

I've been experimenting with a straightforward method of making badges that can be easily replicated, and simplifies the printing process. I tried it out already with the badges for myself and Fae, using a standard passport-ish size to fit in matching plastic lanyard envelopes, and I quite like it!

My only issue with these designs, much like with most other badges I've seen, is that the name's text is hard to make easily readable at a distance. I like the idea of being recognized from across the room at a con, and I find that the art in a badge doesn't convey enough of the character's identity from a far glance to be reliable enough for that.

A little while back I posted about Drifty needing some help with an emergency financial situation, and through the help of several of you kind donors, my friend Gem, and a boatload of commissions, we've met and surpassed the goal to both reclaim the amount stolen, as well as cover an unexpected bill that they received since then.

As promised, here's the sequel to the piece shown in that post, also included below for your convenience.

Thank you all for your generosity and help.

My friend Drifty ran into a spot of trouble with some scammers, and needs help from the community.

Here's a little teaser of a sequel pinup that we'll be keeping on hold for much longer than I usually do, but which we'll bring forward proportional to the donations he'll receive from today. If you donate, you'll get to see more of my art sooner!

You can find more information about the situation here: https://the.choco.one/drifty.

If you'd like to go directly to his donation page, that's linked here: https://ko-fi.com/drifterkitty.

The goal has been met You can find the reward image posted here.

Hey!

Jager Darklite needs to secure a baseline monthly amount for his comic series' crowdfunding campaign to make it feasible for him to continue making art full-time, and is currently running a subscription drive. This is due to a sudden change in his situation, which has put a lot of pressure on him both mentally and financially.

Jager is a good friend of mine who makes absolutely stunning art that frankly feels as though it's tailored specifically to my tastes; involving gratuitous amounts of transformation, magic, messing, diapers, and even hypnosis! If you're into what I'm well known for, you're sure to enjoy what he's got.

He's running this campaign until around end of February, by when he'll need to be more self-reliant. He'll be making pages in the meantime to give early pledges something to enjoy until then, but he'll hopefully meet his goal and keep making more well beyond that!

Please do consider supporting another great artist who's already contributed a lot to the community. I know I would wish for the same if I was in his position, and I know y'all appreciate dedicated creators and the art they make for us, too.

If you're unable to afford a monthly subscription, you can share the campaign on socials with the buttons below!

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

Blaze snagged a commission with the single prompt of "Hypnosis," and given I've been craving more vanilla themes with mindplay lately, I knew what I was gonna subject his adorable fursona, Jake, to.

I first went at Jake's female form, which I previously conjured up as part of Kinktober, but later figured it'd be fun to have a matching piece with his normal, male form too.

Although that's the order I made them in, I like the idea of them happening in reverse; Soul starts out treating Jake to a fantasy dream orgy and throwing him into the middle of it, but then doubles down for more fun in his (imagined) female form later in the night.

For a while now I've observed a made-up holiday I call "UnChristmas day" on the 25th of June, since it's the farthest point from both Christmases prior and following, but I don't think I've ever gotten to actually celebrate it up until the last one! I'm also posting this on international Chocolate Day, which seems like a great time for another free post on the site, so I hope you'll enjoy it!

I took some cheap and cheerful commission slots at €35 for half an hour a pop, and unsurprisingly, diapers featured very prominently across the board.

In order, the slots were for Flowers, Shuki, Fiona, Wintie, and Aurora.

Two of the five were "gifted" right back to me too, which I found was very much keeping within the spirit of the day! It was especially fun drawing my puppy self as baby and in mushy diapers - so much that I went back to add a whole bunch of extra detail to that one the next day. The magic - as well as where it's coming from - was an especially fun addition too, to say the least...

Nova asked me to draw her looking especially spaced out and soggy, and as you know well by now, those go together like PB&J when it comes to me and my art.

Their character was really fun to draw, especially given that orange is one of my favourite colours. Their eyes are normally a light shade of teal, but not while I'm involved. I only realized as I was writing this post that the mindless moth should've been looking at something out of frame... Oops!

Oh well, any excuse to exercise my influence on properly padded lepidoptera.

I realized earlier that I got a little bit ahead of myself and posted some of these publicly before I was meant to, but nevermind; here they are anyway.

Cohost posted about their financials a while back, and it isn't looking good for them. Since it's my favourite social site, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and offered complimentary art for whoever subscribed to help out (I've since stopped this cause the queue got quite long).

A handful of busts for those who subbed monthly,

And a bunch of quickie sketches for those who ponied up for a whole year upfront.

Last Sunday, I attended an introductory hypnosis lesson in VR and later got to experience my first dual hypnosis as "the subject," which involves an induction performed by two hypnotists on one sub at the same time. This was, if my flaky memory serves, my third, or at most fourth ever solo experience being put into trance, so it very much felt like wading in the kiddie pool to being thrown straight into the deep end.

And well, uh,,, wow???

I spent two whole days preparing this post. I mainly wanted to commit this to my art for posterity because I never want to fucking forget it, but the space within which this happens usually consists of hypnotists exchanging notes and ideas, and I felt like it's worth sharing the sub's experience too. This can help by letting others take notes and for uh, "the subject" (fucking weird to keep referring to myself that way but it feels good so screw it, I'm rolling with it) to give feedback and praise wherever it's due.

And I think praise is more than due for both Arwyn and her friend TipTap, especially given how much good this did for me. This is just as much a sub's honest account of a very memorable experience as it is effectively a gift for the hypnotists who made it happen. I can't thank either of them enough.

I'm sorry that this is long as fuck, but I'm a long-winded kind of person so let's get into it.

This first part of this account is all about context, framing, and the personal perspective I came with into this whole situation. I think this is important to better understand later parts of the story, but if you're wanting to jump straight into the action, skip ahead to the next section.

I share all of this, despite it being rather personal, because I think it's important to establish from where I was coming into this experience. As I was discussing with some of my friends last night while reflecting back on it all, the context and setting within which a scene happens is extremely key. Oftentimes, it can reach far beyond the immediate situation the sub and 'tist run the scene within, can be just about entirely incidental to it, and is rarely something that either party can control. That said, this context is important to acknowledge and consider, so as to avoid people feeling like there's something wrong with them or what they did - like I did after one of my first and rather negative hypnosis experiences - when really, there were many factors as to why things didn't quite work out the way I'd hoped they would, and they weren't any one person's fault.

Conversely, those same factors can heighten and magnify a hypnotic experience (just like they can any other experience, really), so I don't want anybody to feel like they're missing something themselves like I did myself a while back. This was a confluence of a lot of extremely major things that have been on my mind and affecting my mental health for a while, which is why this experience was genuinely therapeutic for me by the time all was said and done.

I've been wanting to learn how to be a hypnotist - or at the very least get into hypnosis - for most of my time and career as a furry artist that's been going for over 18 years now. Hypno has comprised a majority of my work, however subtly, for about just as long, and with hardly more than a few hours of hands-on experience to speak of, it's left me feeling like somewhat of a poser within the scene. I didn't know if it was for me, even though I wanted it to be.

My girlfriend Arwyn really brought hypnosis to the forefront of my mind over the years, when for the longest time I was resigned to never really getting to experience it properly. With her guidance and encouragement (and literal dogged perseverance to learn it herself, haha) I've been slowly dipping my toes and easing into it despite all my fears.

This event was the first I'd attended in the group in many weeks. This was intentional, as I'd taken a step away from it a while back. I'd been struggling to feel involved and included with folks, and after a few negative experiences, I decided I needed some time away. I want to be emphatic about this and cannot overstate that this was nobody's fault, and many personal factors played into making it all a lot harder for me to keep trying. I was hurting cause of my own issues, and had to take a break and focus my effort elsewhere for a while.

Add to that several life things that have put tremendous amounts of pressure on my relationship with Arwyn, and made it harder for us to spend quality time together (love you, puppy) as of late, and you can see why I was… N e r v o u s, to say the least, about going into this.

The lesson at the start of the event was interesting and informative as it always has been, but knowing that I might have to try putting some of this into practice a few moments later, for the very first time, had me feeling increasingly anxious. I'm deathly afraid of fucking up, especially with something so important to me, within a space filled with folks who do this kind of thing so skilfully and effortlessly.

Arwyn joined about halfway into the session and took a seat beside me, which was comforting. I resolved to ask her to group up together, since I know she'd be a lot more forgiving if I did slip up.

When I did, it seemed to light a bulb in her head, and she asked me if I'd be okay with involving other folks cause she'd wanted to do something called "dual hypnosis"? I was just excited to get to try things out with her so I happily agreed - if she wanted to push her skills and hypnotise two people at the same time, then all the more fun, right?

I was so fucking clueless.

I eagerly follow her all the way back to find TipTap, and she asks them if they'd like to try out an idea she had a while back. She starts explaining things to them, and the abject danger I was in started to dawn on me.

It wasn't going to be two subjects, it was gonna be two hypnotists.

The anticipation rapidly began to build.

We went up into the attic for some space, and I got put in my place.

Arwyn started the pre-talk, standing right in front of me and filling my entire view. Others were present, but she was all I saw. She had this smirk on her face that's just so perfect for her typically bratty, mischievous self - but right this moment, it was suddenly hitting me very, very differently. I was getting tingles.

I just got done being taught about yes-sets and establishing boundaries and consent and even as she was easing me in with all of these things I could feel myself opening up in a way I don't think I'd ever felt before. I was being primed and could feel it happening.

She asked me if I could imagine sounds, particularly binaurally. I said yes.

She asked if I could sense phantom touch, I said not especially.

She leaned right in to give me an example, and caressed my cheek, with that goddamned smirk on her face.

I felt it only slightly, but nevertheless, I shivered.

She then explained what was going to happen.

She said that she and TipTap would start circling me, and that she'd continue giving me instructions, but that she didn't want me to pay too much attention to her.

She said that each time TipTap would pass in front of me, I would pay close attention to their face. Both of them were a touch taller than me, so I was having to look up to see either of their faces.

They start circling, and Arwyn's voice fills my ears alternatingly.

Each time TipTap passed in front of me, I studied their features and their expression, the latter of which changed each time they did.

Their shiny, metallic parts; zippered lips, and speaker ears.

The digital pulse display on their chest.

The red highlights in their hair and around their face.

Their bright white fur, contrasting with every one of them.

Their friendly and exaggerated expressions, each nevertheless kind, friendly and comforting.

Their concentric, red and black eyes grabbing and pulling at my attention each time, not letting go.

Arwyn soon chimed in again, and instructed me further.

She told me to start imagining a low bass tone coming from TipTap's ears. I begin doing just that; but it doesn't last long.

The spinning, comforting voice of my partner in one ear, while I'm trying to imagine a deep, resonant tone coming from her friend in the other; holding my head up to study TipTap's features each time they cross my vision; feeling quite literally encircled and kept safe - The rest of the world melted away from me despite still having (some of) my faculties about me, and I was already overwhelmed and quite far gone. Yet at the same time, I could feel myself shivering with the thrill and excitement of what was happening to me.

It starts to take me every effort to follow along and I'm certain that at any moment past this point, had either of them given the command, I would've dropped like a sack of concrete.

Arwyn's gentle reminders metaphorically tugged at my rapidly slackening leash, as I kept losing track of the tasks I was meaning, and meant to do. Each time I switched on the imagined tone coming from TipTap again, and strained my weakened neck to lift my leaden head to try to look at their face, it chipped away at whatever meager resolve which, at this point, felt like I was gently cradling in my open palms for them both to take freely from.

An intense feeling of relief came from deep inside my mind along with the sudden change of pace when Arwyn let me know that TipTap was going to stop in front of me.

I was to pay close attention to, and follow the tip of their claw.

They come into view, and I try to lift my head.

I try to lift my head.

Just as the shiny clawtip comes into my view, centering somewhat while I'm shaking from the effort…

TipTap's claw drops,

And so do I.

I'm beyond gone. Everything is dark but comfortable.

Arwyn showers me with praise and comfort, and even uses a few quick deepeners, but I honestly couldn't tell you if there was anywhere deeper for me to go.

My senses blurred, and I still felt completely surrounded and safe, despite being lost in an ocean of nothing. I can distinctly sense both of them still very much there with me, but almost as if I'm vaguely aware of others who were watching, too. I notice myself enjoying this feeling of being seen while so vulnerable.

After what feels like a full minute, Arwyn gently brings me back up. My sight returns, and I'm soon overwhelmed again by all my other senses as they quickly flood back to me.

The cocktail of relief, excitement, and euphoria has me shaking. I can hardly find the words, trying my best to thank both of them for how they made me feel. What they helped me to experience.

I notice myself starting to cry.

I don't remember anything that I said past this point, just that it was coming from somewhere that couldn't be contained.

After a few moments, I told Arwyn I would need some aftercare. We all got comfortable and talked about it for a while longer. That was just the start of my evening, but that's where this story ends.

Thank you so much, TipTap and Arwyn.

10 years worth of anticipation, turned to relief and satisfaction all in one night.

This section is only really relevant if you're interested in the practical aspects of hypnosis, so feel free to skip over it if not.

Say hello to Dark Chocolate.

A little while back, my adorable little friend Fae showed me an extremely Choco-coded plushie design on Plushie Dreadfuls that was sparking some fun thoughts in her. I'd been wanting to make something involving both her and Chocolate for a long time, as well as revisiting the idea I had of variants for Chocolate so it pretty much wrote itself.

She's so goddamn cute.

After I showed the above drawing to my sweet, gushy little little, Katie, she was absolutely smitten.

I knew I had to subject her to Dark Chocolate too, so I did, and then she was completely wrecked.

And now, it's your turn.

My OCs have been involved in a lot of commissions I've gotten as of late, and there's still more to come even after this batch. I'm definitely enjoying the attention and getting to play around with them more so than usual.

First up we have James, who asked for something rather intimate, but still very kinky, with Chocolate and his fursona.

And next we have Arya, who got a Grab Bag commission with hypnosis, diapers, and sissy stuff. Since Soul Choco has been getting a fair bit of the action lately, I figured it was Chocolate's turn to be featured in some hypno hijinks, for a little change.

I like the sorta kitschy, cartoonier style I drew Chocolate in to simplify and quicken the process, though I'm not too convinced by how she turned out. Worth experimenting with further, in any case!
