I lost my job half a year ago, and a lot of studios are now collapsing left and right. I got a job interview on Wednesday.

I hope it goes well.

For this evening though, it's time to listen to thunderstorms and Queens of the Stone Age while drawing cracks in rocks.

4 panel comic

P1: a right hand draws a wavy stroke on a sketchbook page. A caption box up top reads "draw"

P2: the word "CREATE" dominates a panel with a black background, forming in the negative space. Various small shapes surround it.

P3: a lone simplified humanoid figure is on the bottom right of a another panel with a black background. A thought bubble forms above their head, the words "if not for others, then at least for yourself" within.

P4: The Earth dominates the bottom of the panel, with a sliver of space above it. Clouds swirl and boil across the Earth, which is the only element on the entire page coloured a pink-red. A caption box above reads "now, more than ever"

Currently sketching out a cave painting for the background to add a bit of lore to it (this is just a small part of it). Slow but fun!

Colored sketch of a rough background depicting a night sky with aurora borealis in the background, and a rock on the foreground depicting cave paintings of a spirit bear emerging from an aurora looming above the figure of a small simplified human. Around him are strange circular shapes with a stalk pointing toward the man.

And to be clear: this is a tease of the full body image I am working on, just need to do the legwork with background and lighting, but I think it'll be a doozy

When the aurora shines bright,
the bear spirit recognizes your offering
#TFTuesday #TFEveryday

To the left is the mostly changed image of the face a man, blending bear and man, leaving only a sliver of the face intact. To the right is a turquoise-colored spiritual bear licking the changing man.

The image is mostly done, but it ain't a TFTuesday if I had to guess. Might press on through the night, but I think a night's sleep would do it good anyhow to find all the errors.

The hell that is making the background of a rendered image, and adjusting the lighting on the character to match 🙃

I read some TF stories from a guy on FA ages ago who really emphasized the way that the hide of a beast can jostle around, and I just latched onto it. When you're up on top, you can feel how the lower half just feels different. Muscle, pelt, fat, power, shifting as you lumber around.

Shit, now even *I* feel anticipation when you have Tim Curry saying it

This obsession may have resulted in me drawing 7 sketchy images of a guy getting the treatment, but it's competing with 2 rendered images I'm working on right now, so might not see the light of day if I'm being honest

Been a bit obsessed lately thinking of the transformation happening so you have the oversized hind legs and undercarriage of a bear, and you're sitting pretty on top waiting for the rest to catch up.

It's #TFTuesday but I didn't get to finish what I'm working on in time. So I dug up an old iteration of a TF image I drew years ago with a different energy that I kinda like!

Digital graphite sketch of a guy transforming into a bear. The shoulders, neck and muzzle is that of a large bear, while his very surprised expression from the nose and up looks at the newly formed muzzle. The muzzle snorts a gust of air, and the lower fangs are protruding.

I looked into it years ago but didn't really proceed beyond having the account, so I'll post when I do the transition when necessary

I'm going with "I'll do as I please" until they stop me. The guidelines about 'consent' is vague for fictional characters in TF situations, that I'm not sure it'll change much. But if they do, I'll abandon the tweet-format entirely for posting content.
But yeah I'd post on FA and Telegram more.

Funny how I have started my first proper NSFW for the first time ever about the same time that Bsky declared their new guidelines 🙃

Saw this one recommended a while back, considering she mentions the specific chemicals then it could be tested and ruled out at least?

It's an absolute classic!

BearShaper @bearshaper.bsky.social · 19d

It wants the feeling of big, bear, and fur

BearShaper @bearshaper.bsky.social · 19d

Honorable mentions I will never find the source of:
1.) Children's book about a kid in a tiger pajamas who thought they were a real tiger
2.) Young adult werewolf book
3.) The Phantom lying in a casket about to change into a Nile crocodile anthro, but breaking out before it happens

On a bear binge again, thinking and drawing them after months of nothing.
I don’t know how my brain works, it just wants bear for some reason.

The entire lower half of the body, belly, and ending with the head changing last. I like when the new you is much bigger than the old you as the change happens.

Apparently approaching 18 years making that second game! So yes, very much yes. I imagine that there's hiatuses and entirely new teams with lots of time between, but as for a sequel to the first it has to be a record.

I'm sure they will have pivoted away at some point or other (imagine the number of hands on this project), but who knows?
