[NSFW] Artist's Group Chat - Draw The Curtains Edition

At what point do you think Celly and Luna realized they just weren’t cut out for the whole “fighting monsters” thing and decided to deputize Twilight to do it for them? :P

Female seaponies have no shame at all. If you like RGRE and male pregnancy, they’re exactly the kind of vibe your looking for :P

@Badumsquish
What’s RGRE?

Furry, Nudity and pee.

@Background Pony #3DA3
Reversed Gender Roles Equestria :P

@Badumsquish
Ah, I see! Ty

It’s the next best thing to real Twilight sex :D

This is why you have to cook Chu Jelly before being able to consume it in Wind Waker :P

Day six of trying to see if my muscles still remember any of my time at art skool.

They do … but now the self loathing muscles are also kicking in. But - I’m still not allowing myself to touch an eraser. I just want to see if I can remember how to sketch make. And oh my gersh I donked up that right breast SO BAD it just burned … I literally got up and grabbed an eraser and stood there, shaking … my hand poised to erase … not even sure if the media I’m using CAN be erased but not even caring any more …

And then I remembered the wisdom of Colonel Candy Corn.

So … yeah.

And, what did I draw? A siren, I think. But also a merpony? An anthro merpony siren? Am I even tagging these right?

Seriously - if I messed up the tags on that please let me know, because I think I’m going to draw 10 more.

@Badumsquish
I’m confused. But aroused! Confuroused?

I think my tulpas are going to fight now … my money is on Luna.

Day eight - Dr. Lovely Spouse, my spouse, asked me why I hadn’t drawn any penises yet. So I drew some penises.

She looked at the penises … penai? I’d drawn and said; “Quite a good penis.”

Really dark though .. I’m moving both up and down the softness scale and did a lot of this with 4B and 8B pencils, which I think are just WAAAAY too much for the paper I’m using right now. Gonna go back to the 2B to HB range again, I think.

In response to a fascinating question:

on artist:ladysdino’s gob-smackingly erotic No Nut November comic >>2992512, I did a thing:

On a more personal note, I’m drawing again because it’s a part of my treatment plan for some medical stuff.

Back in March I had a stroke. I’m better now, and done with the physical therapy and am figuring out how to recreate a life with what still works. I’m in the lovely ‘long list of syndromes there is no treatment for’ phase, so my life is basically this kind of endless bullshit.

So … I’m reteaching myself how to do things I used to love doing, like drawing. Like, just holding a pencil was a whole fetch quest with its own boss fight.

I’m finding a lot of the muscle memory is still there, though, which is really great. And the more I draw the better I feel, and so now I need to draw every day because if I draw I feel better. And if I don’t draw I feel worse. So I draw.

But now I’m getting tremors that my doctor says is normal, and just my muscles involuntarily cramping up and jerking while my brain rewires itself.

Soooo … this is the first time I’ve been able to draw a full comic page in … well, a long time. A long, long, long time.

And wow it felt AMAZING! Letters! I drew LETTERS! Look at all the L E T T E R S!

I used to work at a typeface foundary (we paid for the ‘a’ - use it!), and the font I used for this is based on Gabriola by John Hudson, co-founder of Tiro Typeworks. He created typefaces for Linotype, MicroSoft, and Adobe back in the day, especially for multilingual typography and typesetting. The flourishes in this typeface are absolutely delicious. The lowercase q and f, and how easy the o is to create literally backwards from every other character in the set makes this an absolute delight!

I hate the upper case i tho … still, a fun typeface.

Huh. Ok, the ADHD is kicking in really hard, so … yeah.

Anyway, so much fun to be drawing again ^_^ I’m going to do more sequential drawings I think!

@Ciaran
Hilarious art but oh man that sucks that this happened to you…

My grandma had two strokes and it’s a horrible thing.

I’m assuming you are much younger though so that makes it even worse.
Wishing you all the best, genuinely

@Ciaran
I have also had to recover from alcoholism, traumatic brain injury, and hard drug use.

I know the feeling of loss and having to rebuild, or having to start from a much lower point than you where previously at. Your life experiences, and the strength you gain can be used to build something even better than you had.

I hope you have a happy life and avoid any more strokes.

@Ciaran
I wish you the best on your recovery.

Thank you :) I’m doing alright. I joke that if you live long enough you’ll do everything at least once, so .. checked that box!

I feel like I finally was able to draw something I could see in my head again.

It feels good.

PS: Yes, this is exactly what the inside of my head looks like. More often than not set to this music. Or this. When it’s not this. Or all of them at the same time.
