Sounds like a squishy cutie named Omiphea. She missed the roll here, but at least she got to be cozy for last Christmas.

They do make the idea more complicated, but they're also very good and what sorta artist would I be if I didn't take on such challenges.

Any one broodmother in particular though? (Yeah half aren't even named yet, but a rough description is enough.)

Being sorta cryptic because it's about real life, yet also about pregnancy. That awkward intersection when the two are normally kept separate.

A little stretch on one side, a little pinch on the other, and a rearward tilt to the hips- Easier said than done of course, but it's the price to pay for having more variety in poses.

When in doubt, references are our best friend.

Thanks for the supportive words. Life certainly takes its toll, especially as age creeps along, but I've got no intention of giving up on creating art.

Fortunately it's pretty rare and only really invokes some eye-rolling, no point in engaging. The "but why?"s are more bothersome to deal with.

My particular blend of interests and story focus probably draws more attention too, compared to say random fluff art of ambiguously permapreg chars.

Speaking from experience as a permapreg artist, this is a lukewarm take at best. People aren't shy about expressing their distaste/disappointment with it, especially those with a birth kink. I've even had some start unprompted RPs to "fix" it.

I certainly don't expect this niche to be for everyone.

Here's the original blank meme, which was labeled as being made by WhosThisGuyEh, plus the upscaled version I made.
