I make art. It's pretty gay.
Finally watched Star Trek: Lower Decks this year. I'm glad I got over my initial reservations, because it was brill.

I was so happy when T'Lyn joined the main cast. Girls in blue uniforms are just the best (I love Tendi too, but T'yn ticks more of my boxes).

All I Want for Christmas (Is Her Two Fat Teats!)

My creative process:
1) Think of a dumb pun
2)Profit

(I love drawing BBW art, but for the sake of 'brand consistency' I don't post it often. Then again, I believe loving big MILFs is a gay stereotype, so who's to say?)

December. Just going to take stock this month and try my best to relax.

A lot of my character drawings recently have been including a lot of 'imperfections', like body hair and flab and other 'gross' stuff. Partly because I eased up on my HRT this year and have been pretty 'gross' myself, partly because...

Well it's actually pretty fuckin' hot, ain't it?

I got my first tablet 13 years ago. After extensive use, I realised it wasn't for me and stick pretty much to traditional.

This year however I started using it again for final touch ups and half-tones/colouring, which is a pretty good compromise.

Good things happening in the sketchbook right now.

The main art lesson of 2025: grid paper. If you're using a lightbox to ink you can use grid paper for your pencils. And it makes panelling and keeping things level SO much easier.

A preview of what I've been working on for one of @floaker.bsky.social 's projects.

Merging the essence of Kirby/90s Edge/Whatever My Style Is has been fun, especially here.

Disclaimer: Do not put fireworks near your crotch.

October was also a huge bust. Not only was I still recovering from Covid, but my cat needed several vet visits.

I am now nervous to take anymore breaks from the gym.

Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. (Listened to a Christmas song two days before Hallowe'en.)

So for September I had taken time off to bunker down and focus on art projects.

Instead I got Covid in the second week and spent the rest of the month sick and recovering. Thanks for bringing that home dad!

I'm mostly over it, just tired, so I hope I can get properly started this month.

My editor (me) is telling me annoyingly long, overly descriptive titles are in, so here goes:

My girlfriend detransitioned and now he's my somehow even cuter boyfriend!?!

...

Think I'll just stick to stupid puns and wordplay.

Some half-tone practice. I was happy with how these came out, I much prefer half-tones to colours at the moment, I think they suit me better.

Not even going to try goading the auto-filter with these ones, there is obvious nudity in these pictures.

September already, I'll be dust in the wind before long.

I hear streamers talk about 'Subtember' and make the joke every pervert thinks of.

Starting this month I'm taking the next two months off from the gym to recover and to actually focus and get a lot of drawing projects started/finished.

And to finish this all up, a portrait of the artist.

This isn't that aspirational an image, if I just paid for a good makeup artist and photographer I could actually recreate this image IRL easily.

(Ok, given the current state of my back, maybe asking me to squat is a hard ask at the moment.)

'Dude, I saw the cutest girl at the graveyard last night!'

'Dude, I know who you mean, but please think about how people might parse that statement when you say it.'

Recently I've been drawing a lot of Trans Femmes who have, let's say, masculine foibles.

But, get this, did you know Cis Women can also have things like body hair and adam's apples. Crazy, I know, it's almost like the human experience is varied and complex.

I read all of Nana by Ai Yazawa this year, and it really lit a fire under me. I always wanted to make comics about music and it showed me it was totally possible to do so.

It also taught me the valuable lesson that all your characters can indeed be punks and goths. No one can stop you.

Ideally the background should primarily be black too, but I am doing this all traditionally, and not on cardstock, so too much ink causes the hard copy to start curling up something fierce.

Also for legibility sake, if the main subject is dark, the background should be light, and vice versa.

More 'against type' practice.

The cool thing about being Scottish though is that you can draw a big macho guy and still put him in a skirt. Thanks kilts!

The hardest part of drawing any musical instrument is scaling them correctly. Doubly so if someone is doing something unconventional with it, like say, lying on it.

Pianos are like snooker tables: they're both somehow bigger and smaller than you think they are,

*Behind Da Scenes!*

In September I'm planning my next 'big project', and in preparation I bought a ton of graph paper. Turns out, laying out comics is way easier when the lines are on the page for you.

Sadly I had to resort to Amazon to get the A3 pad: no local stores stocked A3 graph pads...

Nipple posting is over. Now we're going in the opposite direction: stylish vests for everyone!

My mum actually studied textiles and the like at the School of Art, so if I ever wanted to do a rip off of My Dress Up Darling (which she loves), I already have my consultant.

I think my hobby is now goading auto-filters. Trying to find the line and graze against it in different ways.

Normally I hate 'I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!' antics, but when it's against robots it's good, morally so even.

*Puts the image at a 30 degree angle.*

'Damn, I'm an artistic genius.'
August 16, 2025 at 10:45 AM
'A man with tits' is the genius kind of character design you just won't get out of a straight artist.
