Following my design of Dark Chocolate, I got to thinking (read: daydreaming) about going the complete opposite direction with Ruby, seeing as she originally happened a result of me wanting to indulge my submissive side.

Making her into a lamb seemed like the only logical choice; just as fluffy and soft, but somehow even meeker (might I say... Sheepish?), submissive and suggestible than her usual self. This form's idea was mainly intended as a companion (and you'll find a lot of commonalities in their designs) to Katie's sheep form, but I have many plans for this vulnerable little thing.

Here's the design page, and finalized look of Lamby Ruby. I love the soft little woolbaby.

I then made this featuring my friend Robin, cause she gave me the idea and I tricked her into encouraging me to do it.

I came across a cute edit of a meme on Twitter (made by Lilly! for Fisk) a while back, and decided to make one for myself and a handful more for some friends while I was at it, too.

Coming up with the sides of the trade was really fun, but not as much as drawing the cutesy little caricatures to go along with them.

The smug as fuck expression on mine is definitely my fave. :3c

The first quarter of this year wasn't ideal for art, but once I'd clawed my way back out of the depths of my depression, the floodgates effectively opened.

What followed was a massive spate of giftart and assorted sketches to folks who'd been in my periphery or involved in my process of recovery. Here's a few of the smaller, impromptu doodles from my sketchpad that weren't part of any larger illustration projects.

We'll start with the innocent stuff first, getting kinkier as we go down the list.

To start with, an assortment of little gift busts made for some friends who participated in a mini stream I hosted on my Discord server when I first dusted off my tablet and stylus, as well as a friend who'd been supporting me through the rough period and making me the occasional piece of giftart which would always cheer me up tremendously.

In order, we have; Nozomi, Tiff, ScottishRaptor, Serykins, TigerJames, BlazingPelt, Fiona, and Guba.

Continuing with the little bits of character giftart, these two were for a couple of sweet goofballs who happened to find a way into my Telegram group chat before it was even meant to be accessible to the public.

The left was for Yama of a dragon character from one of his game design projects, and the right is of JesseFerret.

Next we have some Twitter related shenanigans.

The left drawing is my rendition of a really cute, minimalist game character made and showcased on Twitter by @SweatersJPG. When I saw the tiny 7x7 bunny sprite zooming about in the dual halfpipe skatepark, I was enamored. I'm still quite pleased with how it turned out, too.

The right is fairly self explanatory, made as a little gift of thanks to Sammy for their kind words of support on a particularly challenging day.

Last but not least; some kinkier hijinks involving June aka Bellwetter getting softly hypnotized with gentle touches on the left, and on the right, Kaycee making a big stink the way she knows best.

As some of you might know, I may have had a hand in Katie skunk's character development over the years that she's been active. We're pretty close too, and I adore playing around with her whenever the mood strikes.

Sigma suggested that she should try being a sheep for a little while, and I quite liked that idea! I took every measure to make sure that the former pamper skunkie did too.
