A cartoon drawing of a fish in water, eating fish flakes that are falling in.
An arrow pointing to flakes says "YOUR COMMENTS ON MY LITTLE PICTURES AND STORIES"
An arrow pointing to the fish says "GROWING FAT AND HEALTHY"

Panel 1: A tiny fairy godmother from Cinderella is hovering in the air pointing her wand at a carriage in the background, with a teal primary color and gold trim. The general shape and decoration of the carriage seem to have a "rat" motif. The fair godmother says "Okay Cinderella, just to be TOTALLY CLEAR ... At the stroke of midnight, this magical carriage WILL turn back into a giant rat."

Panel 2: Cinderella, in her classic blue dress and blue headband, clasps her hands together in worry looking up at the fairy godmother, saying "OH NO!! Heaven forbid the PRINCE lays his eye on such vileness!"

Panel 3: The prince looks on as she's riding away on a giant rat into the moonlight, having dropped one of her dirty-ass sneakers in his courtyard. The prince is Shen also.

Panel 4: The prince says "that was really hot how she rode away on a giant rat."

I really loved Kpop Demon Hunters, it was so fun to watch! And when my supporters on patreon asked me to draw her I was so happy!

Panel 1: Shen is looking at a tall box that we can see into and through dollhouse-style. It's filled with just a little green powder, and below it, it says "INT". Shen says "Hmmm... I'm not that smart ..."

Panel 2: Shen is happily filling the box with yellow powder from a big burlap sack labeled "EFFORT", holding it up on his shoulder and tilting it over the box. He says "I'll just study really hard!"

Panel 3: Shen is looking at a similar tall box, this time labeled "DRAWING" and filled only a little bit with pink powder. He says "I'm not that good at drawing either ..."

Panel 4: Shen is on his tiptoes, once again resting the burlap EFFORT sack on his shoulder and tilting it into the box, filling it. He says "I'll just practice really hard!"

Panel 5: Some time later, a girl with bell-shaped orange hair and a black top is holding a piece of paper and talking to Shen. She says "Wow, you got an A on that test?? You're so SMART!"

Panel 6: A guy with dark brown dreadlocks and a yellow t-shirt holds a piece of paper, pointing at it, and says "Wow you DREW this! You're so talented at ART!"

Panel 7: Shen has a devious evil grin, holding the EFFORT sack and looking at it, as the background darkens into shades of purple and red. He thinks "I've fooled them all."

I am mad.

Even if they didn't listen to the feedback, please keep posting your stuff here.

You art is powerful and inspires many. It might never please everybody, even so, don't be stopped, don't be censored.

Post and post and post, I want to see all creativity here.

All of it.

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

a little outfit ref thing I started forever ago and only finished up recently
#oc #oc_ref #art #digital_art

digital outfit ref for my oc Cadburry (yellow and purple dog anthro/furry) first ref is just a base ref for his markings, second is a ref for his "Main" outfit (blue tank top that says "soft", dark blue shorts, fingerless white gloves with a purple stripe, and mismatched socks), third ref is an outfit labeled "pls put on pants" (long shirt with a messily drawn bat on it, oversized dark blue jacket), forth ref is an outfit labeled "aren't you cold?" (dusty rose shirt, dark maroon or red-ish jacket with short sleeves, dark shorts, and red-ish brown boots), fifth ref is an outfit labeled "let's go outside!" (dark orange maybe red tanktop, orange shorts, sweat band on arm), sixth ref is an outfit just labeled with some poorly drawn eyes (dark sleeveless turtle neck, dark shorts with cutouts on the hips, long dark stockings)
