This month would be a shitty mini-June. I’ll get to that in a moment though, just want to let everyone know that my final trimester placement of clinicals is going to work out just fine. The hour and a half drive there and back every other day is going to wreak havoc on me however, if I dont go broke from the gas bill beforehand. The upside is that, with a kind reminder or two from “SHE WHO SHAL NOT BE NAMED” I have started to get back some semblance of those coloring skills that I lost over the years. While my style is destined to always remain relatively cartoony, I think I have cracked the code, the problems Ive been having with contrast. After Ive continued to practice a little more, I think the next logical step will be to play with different kinds of atmospheric lighting at different points in the day cycle. This will require me to have open windows or outside scenes to really play with that kind of lighting. But I am a big hypocritical pervert, so its unclear when I’ll get around to composing a more serious picture soon..
Speaking of this, I am going to change the way I draw porn for a little bit, Rather then having long multi panel porn scenes of just one couple. There are a few sexual scenarios I would like to just see “as-is” with various vehicles in a medley. Everything from Prince Tomcat doggy-styling his Queen wife in a bathtub, to a little weisel AWC pounding a voluptuous red-head after intensely examining her pussy with his tendrils. A fox scout car taking a girl out to the secluded woods and banging her from behind (she leans against his front) and he moans “yes! test my suspension!” in french. Little scenes here and there that I don’t really intend to develop into full ideas atm. Its easier to just do one-offs or two-offs atm when my weekend time is under fire with school study.
Some bad news: I will no longer be able to stream art. Or rather, its suspended indefinitely until either I pay for my own internet, or the current problems Ive been having cease. The cause of the sudden problems is still unknown, and since I don’t pay for the internet, I cannot call up support and demand a fix. Thank you to all who have attended over the last few months. It was fun as shit! <3
The worse news: So part of my molar broke off 2 nights ago, leaving a huge gaping hole that I cant even pay for to have fixed. Also, they canceled my food aid again. (meaning I have to fucking go through that whole god damned process AGAIN). These things wont miraculously fix themselves until I get a job- which cant happen until I take my board exam in 3 months. So the poverty continues.
 
^ I love the sense of scale.
Regarding Morphs:
A while back I criticized the way certain artists interpreted morph art, and managed to piss off one or two people. While I am sure they aren’t watching anymore, All I wanna say is this: If I couldn’t articulate it 2 weeks ago clearly enough, here is an image that best describes what I was really bitching about.
It wont change anything trying to point this out, and people are just going to draw whatever gets their dick hard anyway, but I cant take your shit seriously if draw your stuff more like the girl on the left. This is sadly the current state that 99% of aeromorph/tankmorph art is in. They are just a new window theme for human hypertits or 9 foot long cocks that furry artists draw because its the next weirdest thing they haven’t run into the ground yet. Nobody actually gives a fuck about the vehicles, or the creature design. Just a cesspool of artists slapping random triangles and airplane muzzles on human bodies for fap materiel. I believe there is real cool ass potential for creature design here, And its a fucking blessing we still have artists like Vonkickass and Irondrone willing to put some thought in.
Do remember, this is just my opinion. You guys got a right to draw what you will. But if I get salty about this stuff, now you know why.
^ Really fucking cool monster hunter concept art. Makes me really wanna get back into drawing dragons again.
One more thing about Morphs, I really should put my money where my mouth is, when it comes to machine-human hybridism. A guy I recently did a commission for, said that his vehicle babies were born initially looking not too dissimilar from chubby human babies. As they got older, pass from adolescence into adulthood, they take on many more of the features from their vehicle parent. I am officially adopting this idea, as it leaves room for some incredibly cool ideas for people in the world of Atoll Lab. Its also means, that ALL of the morphs I have drawn up to this point, need another design pass. The catolina girl- while cute and cool.. needs to be fatter and more boatlike to represent the parent who is a flying boat. the RQ4-Morph needs to have more of a gargoyle meets meets surveillance drone look to him. Even Blackberry needs to have a much larger back and neck to house the engine that would send her blades a spinning.

I want to because what that image said was not what you think it said and I want to at least get my side out.
you already got your side out on DA.
One is watching. I can explain why I was so personally hurt here or in private on a messenger if you want.
You don’t have to explain yourself.
Well with the end of the week drawing near, hopefully nothing else decides to add itself to the list of things gone wrong.
And if you want to have your french fantasy, then by god have your french fantasy! XD
;;invites you into the sexy scout pile;;
“Just a cesspool of artists slapping random [gubbins] on human bodies for fap materiel.”
THIS. Preach it, sister. It has been the case with the furry community for much much too long.
As for the rest of it, it sounds like you’re adapting well to stress, and that’s as good as anyone can really ask for. I for one look forward to your new art direction.
Damn that’s rough. If you don’t have Internet then how do you have this? We are on the Internet. Wifi?
I have internet, but it goes down randomly now from 30 minutes to 3 hours.
Well, I hope things get better. Chipped a tooth once in a rather one sided fight and it’s certainly not pleasant but it’s the fights we lose that we learn the most from.
Have to say I’m liking that Fox Scout Car idea. Sometimes it’s cooler with “littler” machines because it can feel like a bit more equal footing, like that human might be able to get the machine rocking and actually give the parking breaks a run for their money.
Best of luck and hope everything works out. And don’t give yourself too much hell about the morphs, I really like all the ones you’ve put out so far, especially my Dina.
Damn, sounds like one hell of a mess to be in, Best of luck to you and may some one just gives you 100k for no aparent reason other then to give you a hand in life!
Also happy st patricks day and many wonderful endevers to come with it.
-why have fox speak french? hes brititsh….-
Somehow the fantasy had him speaking French. Fantasys don’t make sence at all as you know. But if I draw it, guess I will just eschew the French.
Actually strike that, I might have been thinking about the vbl and got the two mixed.
Good luck with everything, Bats. Hope everything works out for you
Geeze, Ratbat. The world’s just throwing everything it’s got at you. I’m sorry to hear all of that. I just hope things turn out OK for you.
