ip012-My werewolf bae

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!You all know that I'm a sucker for shapeshifters by now, don't you? Shapeshifters have long been a part of popular culture, appearing in literature, film, and television. I'm almost sure I've mentioned this episode from "Batman: The Animated Series" before, "Tyger, Tyger" (after the poem...). It pushed all the shapeshifting buttons I ...

ip011-Paper planes

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!Paper planes, paper airplanes, paper darts. They have so many names (in Brazillian Portuguese, we call them, in the plural, "aviõezinhos de papel," or "little paper airplanes"). I can't recall any phase of my life without them. They were once simple, then very sophisticated, and then simple again. I guess I forgot how to fold sheets of paper the...

Make-believe #03

Make-believe is a series of polls where our OCs will explore imagery from the arts, literature, fiction, fantasy, games, and beyond.- - -You never believed in monsters. Well, at least not before this year’s spooky season was over. You met her a couple of weeks ago. She was as cute and witty as one can be, and her accent, where was it from? She had unusual tastes, but none of them ever got in the...

ip010-Yes, she bends

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!There's something magical about immersing ourselves in our favorite fiction worlds. The experience can transport us to another place and time, even if just for a few minutes. For a while, we can forget about the stresses of the day. Whether it's Hogwarts, Middle Earth, Pandora, Fire Nation, or a galaxy far, far away, these fantasy realities can captivate us ...

ip009-Ranger

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!To the best of my personal experience, tabletop roleplaying games have always been a great way to develop our creativity and social skills, both as a child and as an adult. When we create a character, we also create an opportunity to know ourselves through unique lenses. Our opinions on society and culture inevitably show through when we design a setting. It's f...

Make-believe #02

Make-believe is a series of polls where our OCs will explore imagery from the arts, literature, fiction, fantasy, games, and beyond.- - -Tonight, you fell asleep watching a beloved cartoon, exhausted. Being a bender or seeing one in person would feel so amazing! As you open your eyes inside the dream, characters and voices emerge from your imagination. There’s a mirror in the room. When you look...

[Extra] Three more studies!

I know I still need to finish next month’s main painting, but I was so hyped with our last poll that I wanted to sketch the ranger, bard, and monk immediately. The ranger character class was our winner, followed by a tie between the monk and the bard. I thought they could be played by Leto, Shola, and Tallulah, respectively (Epona will be the DM, so no cookie for her, LOL). Here we are, then, wi...

ip008-Vintage fun

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!Vintage is more than just a trend. It's a state of mind that transports us to another time and location. Something about a vintage item's aesthetic makes us feel nostalgic for an era, place, or culture we never even experienced. Maybe it's the classic designs or the simplicity of life back then, but it's hard not to feel drawn to vintage pieces. When...

Make-believe #01

Make-believe is a series of polls where our OCs will explore imagery from the arts, literature, fiction, fantasy, games, and beyond.- - -All right, it’s tabletop role-playing game night! You and the other girls finally gather around the table and spend quality time together, playing characters, exploring lost ruins, and slaying any monsters along the way. It’s going to be epic, fun, and magica...

[Extra] Study... packs?

I’ve recently watched some videos of skilled painters who admitted they were terrible draftsmen. Some traced photos (a capital sin inside my teacher's atelier, although it’s a common practice). Others needed to approach the drawing steps like a thorny equation. I was puzzled. Drawing is an essential skill for any artist, the first skill, the foundation for everything else. I recall my firs...

ip007-Safety

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!It feels like it's been ages since we last caught up with our beloved characters! I have missed them dearly, and I'm sure you have too (well, we had a neat poll on that recently, LOL). I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for your continued support, as well as for the love you've given them whenever we get glimpses of their world.So, we offi...

[Extra] Kaydia and Amaris

Besides painting, only a few activities introduced me to new challenges, concepts, and experiences such as this. Working on a cyberpunk-themed project led me to binge-watch animations, do some 3D modeling, research, and do much exploratory sketching. It wasn’t my first contact with the setting, but it was my first time painting it, so finding the right palette, textures, detail, and the intense ...

ip006-Optimism

Optimism can be seen as a powerful force that shapes how we experience our surroundings, the belief that the future is bright, like wishing for lots of bones to chew when you have a canine appetite and, well, getting them. It can be a road towards acceptance but also a slippery slope leading to the illusions of unreflected wish fulfillment.Wish fulfillment... While this approach can be motivating,...

On themes, dreams, and old friends.

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!Soon we’ll be working on our Fantasy-inspired illustrations for a whole semester (whew! Time flies!), so I was wondering whether I should keep working on those as our main illustration pack (IP) theme or whether we could use a change of air.What do you say? =^_____^=

[Extra] Soo Yun Lee

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!Here’s an image that pushed many right nostalgic buttons in me. As I worked on this project, I couldn't help but be transported back to my childhood and early teens. Most of those action figures in the background brought back memories of the countless hours I spent playing video games with my friends and family. I remember the laughs, the excitement, and the f...

ip005-Bewilderment

Bewilderment… Every time I collect the entries for the monthly polls on emotions, I try to have at least two or three mental concepts of what could be a spicy depiction of each. Bewilderment seems to fall very close to perplexity and confusion. I don’t know about you, but few things perplex me more than portals to other worlds. It can be as concrete as finding the literal rabbit hole as Carrol...

Emotions 03

We all have different emotions that shape our moods and outlook on life. Some of us may strongly desire something or someone, while others may feel enthusiastic and passionate about their goals. Some of us may feel a deep attachment and loyalty to a person or a cause, while others may feel content and fulfilled with what they have.According to those who study the human condition, emotions are at t...

[Extra] Kallie's bust

Transformation. Shapeshifting. It's hard to recall when this topic wasn't exciting for me. Kallie may be an extreme example, with multiple limbs, spider eyes, a fawn centaur body, multiple tentacles, and so on. I didn't use to think about complex transformations such as hers. Still, I recall fantasizing about more straightforward ones when I was younger. I'd become the bully, the t...

ip004-Satisfaction

We all desire something. Desire motivates us to do things, chase seemingly impossible goals, and find happiness. Do we ever stop doing it? Is there a limit to our satisfaction? Many will agree that it is never-ending, which is a shortcut to stating that a satisfied desire will only lead one to a brand-new one. Those who walk this path may experience an unavoidable encounter with frustration, even ...

Winter can be cold and gloomy, but it doesn’t have to be. There’s nothing like soaking in a hot tub with your friends to chase away the chill and brighten your mood.A hot tub is a great place to bond with your friends over meaningful dialogues, share your deepest secrets, or relax in silence. You can play games, listen to music, or watch the stars together. A hot tub party is a perfect way to ...

ip003-Silliness

Have you ever done something silly just for fun? Perhaps you made a funny face, danced like no one was watching, or told a corny joke. If so, you probably felt a surge of joy and laughter that brightened your day. Silliness can bring joy to the person being silly and everyone around them. How about a sudden taste of pie in the morning? Refreshing! It relieves stress and calms you down. Some say la...

[Extra] All-star greatest hits reunion

Thanks to Valentine’s Day, February is often associated with love and romance. But in some parts of the world, like Brazil, February is also about fun and celebration. No wonder… It’s Carnaval time! For a couple of weeks in February, it’s a time when people dress up in colorful costumes, dance in the streets, watch parades, and enjoy live music. Carnaval is a tremendous opportunity to meet...

ip002-Audacity

Hello there, fellow futa lovers!After a tender, kind month of January, why not go for something bold, more adventurous? February is audacity's month, our second illustration pack. As I worked on these two packs, I carefully picked the color palette, tools, themes, and everything that would turn each monthly illustration into a piece of a larger whole: an album, a series tied together not by te...
