#Kinktober #weretober #whatever-tober for the 10th. The prompts were #dinosaur and #cnc.

So I borrowed @largotg.bsky.social's 'sona to kidnap one of my #satyr boys, not that he seems to mind much.

Still a day behind. Tomorrow I'll either catch-up or reset.

An inked illustration showing an anthropomorphic purple dinosaur (fursona of Largotg) kidnapping a satyr, with him slung over his shoulder.

The anthro-dinosaur is purple with black stripes on his legs, arms and tail, with a paler purple for his belly, inner thighs, under-tail and under-arms. He has prominent upper canines and feathers on his head and yellow-green eyes. He is only wearing a leather belt with a skull belt-buckles.

The satyr has brown hair, blue eyes and tan skin.

The dinosaur is holding the satyr over his shoulder while posing with one clawed foot on a skull. The satyr is supporting himself a little with one hand on the dinosaur's shoulder and looking over his own shoulder and down at him. The satyr has an eager expression and blush lines, and his tail is wagging.

There are two dialogue boxes. The satyr's reads "So this sex-slave job, it includes vision and dental, right?"

The dinosaur's reads "Of course! I'm a tyrant, not a monster!"

#kinktober #weretober #whatever-tober for ... I think this was the 9th's prompts? Went with #merman and #tentacles.

Suggested dialgoue/text: "You saved me! Is this love?" "No, you're just very concussed"

Secret note: the #satyr has a hook because I fucked up his hand on my first attempt.

An inked illustration showing an octopus-merman and a satyr landing on a poorly-drawn sandy beach. The two are looking in each other's eyes and the merman is getting a bit handsy and a bit tentacle-y, as he runs one hand through the satyr's hairy chest hair and his tentacles wrap around the satyr in multiple places, including one that's sneaking up the satyr's shorts. The merman is a pale-skinned bearded redhead with blue eyes and purple tentacles and in traditional mermaid fashion is naked (but in a PG-13 way). The satyr is dark-skinned with reddish-brown fur on his legs. He has a notch in his ear, a broken horn, and a hook for a hand. He is wearing an off-white open-front shirt and striped shorts. Both are blushing and smiling as they look in each other's eyes.

#kinktober #weretober #whatever-tober for 8 Oct 2025 (finished 9 Oct 2025, still a day behind)

Featuring a #whaleshark and a #satyr in a #cage. This will surely end well for everyone involved.

An inked illustration showing an anthropomorphic whale shark holding onto a shark cage holding a satyr. There are two caption/text boxes, the first reading "Sir! We've lost contact with the bai- er, scout!" and the second "Good! Then the target is in the area!" The anthro-whale shark looks excited and happy, grinning at his prize. The satyr is a dark silhouette facing the anthro-whale shark.

#kinktober #weretober #whatever-tober for 7 Oct 2025 (done 8 Oct 2025, I am a day behind)

Featuring a #Minotaur and #Satyr #wrestling. I do have the lineart for the Whale Shark done, but no time to finish it tonight.

An inked illustration showing a minotaur holding a satyr in a standing Full Nelson. The satyr and minotaur are both wearing loincloths. The minotaur is licking the satyr's ear, and the satyr is blushing as he looks up and behind himself to the minotaur. Speech bubbles attached to the satyr and minotaur read "did you just lick my ear?" and "... you're tasty" respectively. A caption below reads "Labyrinth tip #69: If your party can't defeat the Minotaur, try using a volunteer to distract him with a wrestling match!" Above the two figures are three stick figures sneaking through an arched doorway.

#Kinktober #weretober #whatever-tober for 6 Oct 2025

Featuring a #unicorn and a #satyr. Okay, so I'm not really keeping to the "kinky" side of things as I intended, but this one *mentions* sex at least!

An inked illustration showing an anthropomorphic unicorn menacing a satyr. AT the top there is a sweating emoji with the text "You know, I am still a virgin. By some definitions." implied to be the satyr's words. At the bottom is a response, "I'm not homophobic, meat. Gay sex counts." With an evil face emoji. The anthropomorphic unicorn has a closs-cropped rainbow-colored mane, with a pink beard and tail fluff. Blood covers his horn, and he has sharp teeth. He is wearing only a pink loin cloth with a rainbow belt-buckle. The unicorn is looming over the satyr and snarling while grabbing the back of the satyr's head. The satyr is a scruffy looking guy with medium-length hair and a scraggly beard and thick body hair. The satyr is wearing only a small loincloth and is tied to a wooden post. His expression is somewhat fearful. The unicorn is half-again as tall as the satyr, and his bicep is about as big around as the satyr's torso.

#Kinktober #whatever-tober for 5 Oct 2025

The #satyr boys have been working hard all week, I gave 'em a day off. Also, wasn't inspired by any of the prompts I looked at for today.

An inked illustration showing two satyrs cuddling. The caption reads "Satyrs' day off". The two satyrs are laying down, one on top of the other. The bottom satyr has dark hair and a beard, the top satyr has blond hair and a beard. Their arms are wrapped each other and they appear to be sleeping.

#kinktober #weretober #whatever-tober for 4 Oct 2025 (1 day late).

I mix-matched #Liger, #Vampire and #hypnosis. Without color you can't really tell it's a liger, but big-fuck-off anthropomorphic cat-vampire, what more do you want?

Besides better-drawn furniture, 'cause that's not happening.

An inked illustration showing a large anthropomorphic liger with a satyr on his knee. The caption is "Are you fun? Or food?". The anthro-liger is wearing a dated suit complete with spats and cravat. The satyr is wearing shorts and and a collar and is missing one arm. The anthro-liger is holding a chain that connects to the satyr's collar, and the satyr has vague swirly eyes indicating hypnosis. The liger has big fuck-off fangs. The ottoman they are sitting on is very poorly drawn.

#kinktober #whatever-tober for 3 Oct 2025 (2 days late).

The prompts I mix-matched were smell/musk and orc.

Late by two days, and I have issues drawing washtubs and soap bubbles, apparently, but alas, have a wet #orc flirting with a #satyr bath attendant.

An inked illustration showing an orc in a washtub being washed by a satyr. The caption reads "You here to help me get clean or dirty?" Both are smiling at each other, and the soapy bubbles keep it PG-13.

#Inktober, #weretober, #whatever-tober for 2 Oct 2025.

The prompts I mix and matched from were #gnoll and "kidnapping". I added a #gay #satyr 'cause what are you a cop?

I had issues with inspiration and anatomy, so this was kinda late. I might go back later and add color.

An inked illustration showing a tied-up satyr and a predatory gnoll in the background. The caption reads "What do you mean *I'm* the gnoll-bait?!". The satyr is scruffy and a little chubby, with definition in his arms and is wearing a loincloth. His hands are tied together at the wrist above his head. The gnoll in the background has a wicked smile with his tongue out, and is holding a spear and rope, with a tented loincloth and an exclamation mark over his head.

#Kinktober for 1 Oct 2025. Prompt: #Werewolf. My own blurb: "Werewolf boyfriends can be so demanding on a full moon!"

Not sure if I'm going to go full peen like last year, or stick with more pin-ups.

Regardless, it'll be full of #gay #satyrs

An inked illusration colored with alcohol markers showing a werewolf holding his satyr boyfriend from behind, with the caption "Werewolf boyfriends can be so demanding on a full moon!" The werewolf is snarling, and has one hand around the satyr's throat. The werewolf's other hand is grabbing the satyr's chest, and has drawn shallow cuts with his claws. The satyr is grinning and cross-eyed with blush lines. One arm is is reaching up and propped against the image border, and the other is reaching back to hold the werewolf closer. A full moon is in the background, with a few rim-lit clouds. The entire illustration is on a post card and the edges of a blotter sheet can be seen behind it.

I did an art: My current D&D Character. #D&D #Satyr

An ink illustration of a black haired/furred satyr on a magic flying broom, manipulating a cartoonish camera with a magic force hand. The satyr is wearing a pale purple cape and matching loin cloth, and is otherwise unclothed. He is smiling with eyes squinting closed.

Not a big basketball fan, but I assume there's already at least one bear playing.

... and now I'm imagining some guy in a pup-play mask bitching that he was a dog playing basketball before that Bud bitch made it cool.

Since it feels like you're wrapping up... any plans to publish a dead-tree version?

Fairly applied, that prohibits sale of the Bible.

Looks like it's a decorative waistband, not belt or underwear. But yeah, that pattern makes me think of men's underwear (my compression shorts have a similar design), so it's an... interesting... choice. Good catch!

Pretty sure "have friends that can pull strings for you" is timeless advice, but seldom useful for people that aren't already connected.

Compared to other first world countries, these numbers are very high, of course. We really do spend a lot on our police and military! But not $6000/month per person lot.

escherenigma.bsky.social @escherenigma.bsky.social · Jul 14

DOD budget for 2025 is around $900 billion, with the rough US population of 350 million gives us about $2500/year. Police numbers are harder to get, but I found some online sources that ballparked it at $500 per capita in 2020, giving us an annual amount of $3000/year.

Bonus: these two do have designs that include feet. And names, elaborate back stories, concepts for when they get older, a story for how they first met, and so-on. But OC lore vs. OC lore you share with the world meme, amiright?

A character sketch of the two from the comic. The satyr is shown wearing a hat --his horns stick out of it-- a cut-off flannel shirt and an undershirt. He isn't wearing pants, but his fur is thick enough to make him decent. The werewolf is shown as a muscular shirtless man with a wolf head and tail. He is wearing chaps and motorcycle boots. The caption is "Bonus!"

I did a thing. #makeaterriblecomicday2025

A badly drawn comic titled "Make a Terrible Comic Day 2025". First panel shows a redneck satyr next to a shirtless werewolf. The satyr says "It's 'make a terrible comic day'", and the werewolf replies "So we should do something funny?" There is a happy emoji near the werewolf's text bubble. Underneath the panel is text: "Establishing shot!" The second panel shows them standing closer, the satyr saying "Not really our skill set," with a confused emoji. The werewolf replies "So we should fuck?" with the evil grin emoji. Underneath the panel is the text "Rising Action!" The third and final panel is a close up on their faces, both with open mouths and blush lines, as though they're about to kiss. The satyr is saying "yes please!" and the werewolf replies "too late. Out of panels". Underneath the final panel is the text "Cliffhanger!" along with the artist's name, "EscherEnigma" and the date "24 June 25".

Based on Willy Wonka (70s film based on 60s book) this was already enough of a trope in the 70s that it made it into one of the "bad" kids, so this theory sure seems plausible enough. 👍

Not petty enough. Increase the petty. "It's cheaper to rez you." should be a macro.
