Thank you to all who participated in this month's polls! As promised, I've delved in and made some illustrations that could end up in the eventual print version of Swirl&Cake - if not, you just have some nice drawings to appreciate! You voted for: cute/hot character illustrations to be inserted between sections of the main story (to brea...

Hey, all! You're getting a special treat this November - with permission of the commissioner, I am sharing my latest comic set (cover, 3 pages, and full-page illustration) with you all! This one was also an opportunity to practice watercolor comic pages - yes, all the illustration was done on paper! (The text was added in after the fact.) Lemme ...
2023-11-14 02:56:35 +0000 UTC View PostHappy November, special patrons! Thanks, as always, for your continued support! It really helps me continue making the stuff we love.
Here's this month's poll (please read: it's different from the all-patrons poll): in preparation for Swirl&Cake's potential publishing, I want to craft an illustration to accomp...
2023-11-09 16:46:11 +0000 UTC View PostHappy November, all! Thanks, as always, for your continued support!
Behind the scenes, there are a LOT of exciting projects in the works - let me tell you a bit about them.
Firstly, I'm in collaboration with a great furry writer to produce a likely 20-30 page story. With my current understanding, you...

Hey, all! This one took a ton of work, but I finally got it done and am super happy with it - I figured Cake and Zesty would meet up, and Cake would warmly offer a "treat" to Zesty, noticing how excitable his friend can be.
In the back of my head, I even considered using this illustration as a cover for a potential CakeXZesty comic... wha...
I felt inspired to make a little something and tossed this together - feel free to use it! (I imagine it'll suit Telegram chats rather well, just make sure to dim the wallpaper a bit as to not blind yourself in the mornings...!)

You folks wanted to see Zesty as an angry bull, so here we go! The perfect pinup for the autumn months - it was a blast making something so out of my typical (in terms of rendering and design). Thank you, and enjoy this high-tier exclusive reward!
Besty,
Zesty

First things first: we all knew it was coming, but Twitter is proving to be a real pain in the neck, especially lately. I don't wanna try to go into the details now, but I plan to slowly pull away from it as a platform and use Bl...

Swirl loves his Cake, but Cake loves being cucked!! Our little corgi loves his big bunny SO much that he's willing a pump a stranger's bum to get him off! (Enjoy!!)

2023-07-13 12:25:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey all, thanks for your patience! Holding myself together by a thread this month, haha.
Anywho, you're Zesty who needs someone to help him move - carry boxes, drive the truck, etc... who do you hire?

Well, seems Swirl's gotten up to some daydreaming on the train... and more... will he be able to hold it until his fated meeting with Cake, or lose his cool all over the back of the seat in front of him?
