[8-bit Konami noise]

Hello O^o/

The short version: I've paused Patreon's billing cycle. This should effectively make the next month free to all but there'll still be updates. It just doesn't feel right to receive money when I'm still trying to catch up.

The longer version: Back in late September, early October, I had noticed ...

A/V Test

See/hear the attached mp4's for said test :S 

Above clip of Chef-Bouyardee-Can-In-Lava is just there just for whatever reason you seemingly can't actually post a video FILE as a header and have to embed it separately, that makes so little sense :S I should probably make a youtube for this.

Condensed video siz...

WIP #8: Wanting Out

A swift swipe surprisingly smooshes slimy stomach strugglers

It's almost doooone ohmygodddd o^o

I GOT YOU PONIES!

All the ponies! For Christmas!!

WIP #7: VERY ABRUPT Kicking!!

Shocking and unexpected!!

3 to go and 2 are half-finished, yaaay~

I've officially spent all available vacation time for the whole year working on this évè;; Next time, maybe just 1-simple-loopable-thing...

(Sketch) Chipstrip

Sketch edition of some of the pieces drawn for Idea Pile Thing submitted by patron 'i'm into weird shit'.  Contains various pieces of Chip the Wolf :} There's a few more that are too sketchy but they'll all be cleaned up/finished.

Most of this weekend was otherwise spent working on the animation that I've been ch...

Pet Snake (Part 6)

Part 6! Game over :[

…I mean you can't just throw some coils over the huge wiggling bulge and pretend it's just NOT there Ô^ó that's idiotic... Next time Scott's asked to petsit he'll likely employ a smoke bomb/emergency bouncehouse to gtfo preemptively

WIP #6: Wigglers Feel Pretty Great

The wigglers might disagree

WIP #5: Oh Look A Wiggler

I've been animating this in pieces throughout year. Now I'm at the part where the pieces come together and start making an end product :S This is one of them!

Pet Snake (Part 5)

Part 5!

If pushing his his head back into the throat weren't enough of an indicator, she wants him to stop holding on/stretching out the bottom jaw and quit resisting that last big swallow. Poor Scott's too exhausted and out of breath to struggle anymore and help isn't coming anyway :[

Idea Pile Thing submitted by Felpur...

Pet Snake (Part 4)

 Part 4!

It's already as tight as he can bear. If only he could loosen the coils keeping him quiet he could call for help, but already he's half-swallowed and help's definitely not coming soon enough 8[

Maagii

I had this in mind for a while and had to piece it together today. So [HERE COMES A NEW CHARACTER]

Her name is Maagii and she's a volcano goddess made out of lava, taking the form of a phoenix.

Every so often the inhabitants of the island where she resides will send one (or several) people down to 'appease' her. This is ...

Pet Snake (Part 3)

Part 3, wherein the prophecy of Part 2 is fulfilled.

Idea Pile Thing submitted by Felpur   

Pet Snake (Part 2)

Part 2, wherein probability of escape is 1 misstep backward away from tanking completely.

Idea Pile Thing submitted by Felpur  

Pet Snake (Part 1)

Part 1 of an ongoing problem that Scott never seems to be able to deal with. Snakes LOVE small mammals. That's why they hug them with excessive force :D 

Idea Pile Thing submitted by Felpur 

The Fridge Is Empty Now Anyway

I haven't colored in a while Ó^ò;  Hope I still know how...

Here's an Idea pile thing submitted by GreatLizardX of Tevy going on a sleep-eating adventure. 

This is something Scott would definitely advocate/help administer if she were awake, but for now this is more of a huge safety concern. Emphasis on huge. ...

[orglorpmmffhmff!!]

My wrist has earned its right to snap crackle and pop the way that it does this weekend >^ò;

And yet it's never enough ;~;

[Muffled cries for help]

These frames are looking pretty ok so far o~o;

That's not even how it's supposed to look when played, either, those are just the frames that were drawn, playing on a loop. The arm on the right and face are meant to be more tense than they appear, choosing which of the frames appear can do more with what's available. If it does...

"Got plans for this weekend?"

…Aside clearing more tornado-debris, continuing to animate tums, now with funtime snack shapes including arm, other arm, and spookyghostface o^o; ...and a bunch of curvy wiggly bouncy bellyblob not-ghostly-tryhard-struggling shapes, because not everyone's into that and I haven't received any direction other than the template I...

Aggretsuko Vore Flash File

Ugh. The power went out for 6 days because a windstorm wrecked my state x^x; I'm STILL catching up and it's been overwhelming, but I had no weekend time to work on anything since my tablet needs an external power source and the windows 10 laptop I bought for emergencies is only good for siphoning USB power to keep my cell phone ...

WIP #4: Wobbleobbleobble

Whew... this one's all done too :B

The next one will be a struggle. By that I mean it's the [struggling-prey] animation >v>;; that's gonna be fun

Geri

So for Gery's particular crossbreed of dragon species, the females are interested in finding suitable mates and the males are nurturing mother figures that carry around/look after their young. Both versions of Gery/Geri are otherwise confused about how they're supposed to handle reproduction. Geri would take just about any parti...

Tedium-tum-tum ♫

Work's been awful lately and I felt the neurotic itch to get something done, so I used a vacation day to do what I otherwise would do with vacation time if I were actually on vacation—work. Only it's work I like doing and that work is more animation :v

In this case, tummy animations. A day ...

This week's progress... (some spoilers)

...Seems... underwhelming. But I made a background for the game and updated the animation loop I shared last time. It may not seem like much, but I added more hand drawn frames to it instead of using tweens to fill in the gaps, going from what I guess real animators call 'animating on twos' to animating on ones... this makes it ...

April Fools Day (OST & Severely Incomplete Beta)

Hoo boy...

Next year I'm deciding on a theme/doing it a month in advance… not a week x~x; Please yell at me if I don't do that next year.

Despite working at it day and night and not really getting a lot of sleep, even a shitty gag game is taking so much more work than I thought it would. If you'd like to see what's don...

April Fools 2018 (some spoilers)

Hello again O^o/

Many of you might know I do something stupid every year for April Fools. This year's stupid thing was Thinking-I-Could-Make-A-Dating-Sim. The stupider thing was not knowing how much more difficult it would be to make it work the way that it does while doing it in ActionScript 2/Flash 8, because althou...

Goodra WIP's

Imagine having found a wild friendly Goodra in the woods and started visiting/feeding/taking care of her on a somewhat regular basis and suddenly you realize she's gotten really fat and so increasingly attached and clingy that oops she's slathered you in slime and swallowed you up. Now you're hers until she can egg you out and m...

Princess Martini

I haven't idea pile'd for a while, so I took some time to do one of those this weekend :X

The Action Martini™ did not test well with irritating small children grabbing his hair and wanting to play dress-up, but this not-an-impostor-or-knockoff version seems pretty ok with it! Plus free drinks I guess?

WIP #3: Tummy Squish

Loop #3—kneading that big tummy.

I keep adding stuff that wasn't exactly supposed to be there but am rather happy that I did, if that makes sense :S

WIP: Photo Booth

It's Valentine's Day already??? I'm so very much behind and time just *flies* these days… o^o;  I need a hyperbolic time chamber :c

I'll be cleaning up/finishing this series up for sure, but for now I'm still focusing on finishing the YCH animation I've been working on (more of that will be posted here this weekend)… ...
