I am culturally more Scottish, never really losing the accent and having a strong affinity with the landscape, food culture and general openness (and broadly liberal attitudes). Scottish tories are the worst though. I love England too, as it’s where I’ve spent most of my life so far and people are in general a little more worldly down here. Some Scots will never leave Scotland! I can’t stand the English at sports. Unbearable. Plus Brexit-voting England pissed me off hugely.

Anyway! Scotland is full of the pageantry and Victorian-era romanticism around clans, tartan, bagpipes and all that’s good stuff. Do a ceilidh when you can! It’s a great way to dance yourself sober.

Nessie is a babe, obviously, and we keep her hidden away to stop ogling tourists.

Celebrate Burns night! Our national poet! Can be tricky to read the Scots dialect but my fave is the story of Tam O’Shanter—a tale of getting drunk and stumbling upon a satanic ritual in an old Kirk (church) and getting spooked teh-fuck and chased all the way back to the village on your horse by a naked witch. Great stuff… especially reciting on a cold January evening over whisky and haggis.

Eat lots of greasy food. I’ve never tried a deep fried mars bar because it’s for tourists… but grab a “Munchy Box” if you’re ever out in Glasgow or Edinburgh. You’ll gain 5 pounds overnight…! Tunnocks are also a brand of chocolate bar to look out for in international aisles too. Defs seen it in places in the US.

And obviously, don’t forget the beacon of Scottish cultural exports… Limmy.

TALENT! Who doesn’t love a limerick?! 🥰💕 I want this on my headstone in bright pink… I want to be remembered as a flamboyant flub of foxy fluff. Letting all this consume me… consuming as much as I can and sharing all of it as a journey into huge, unfathomable femmy foxy softness 🦊🥵!

Yes, this is something I've wanted to do for a long time, but have been more focussed on commissions since I began making art and haven't had time to branch out! I really want to find a way to sell prints, sticker art and more and begin making WG and furry collectables. Not sure of the logistics of it, and what options there are. Etsy feels like it's past its best and maybe a bit iffy with big booby furry characters...?

Getting some of my ideas into physical media would be very rewarding, and definitely something I'd pursue if people expressed an interest. I'll make a few stickers and prints and see if it's worth it?

Putting myself in this scenario (because those are the most fun things to imagine... and even possible... i'm even eating cake rn, oops), let's say as a big soft fatty myself, I would certainly be a pom-pom wielding cheerleader for helping somebody totally blob out. Like, don't get me wrong, I'd be indulging and allowing all my hedonistic desires to turn me into even more of a sofa crusher, but I have BIG feeder tendencies and stuffing somebody silly to the point of rendering them helpless hogs is super hot. If you hang around me, you're gonna get FAT.

For other scenarios, particularly the "feederism out of nowhere" type story where WG curiosity gets the better of a skinny girl or boy, I kind of like it when they are insanely bent on becoming fatter than anybody thought possible, much to the horror of their friends and family!

Leave a pencil with me and after about 10 minutes I’ll have drawn our spiky haired menace. I can’t stop. Looking back, because I end up drawing her so often I wondered if she would look good as something massive, fat and bulky—and what better than a lazy, chunky rhino? I was looking for a really really strong body contrast to play with. She makes a good cow and pig, why not a rhino? Those horns…

Turns out, it really hit the mark when I first drew her more BBW rhino design, and I received a ton of feedback and positive comments on how she looked. It encouraged me to draw her again, and in different sizes/TF levels. I even started crafting a story which I’ve nearly finished the final part of. I then started looking at other rhino characters in animation and I got super into those big dumb rhino guards from Robin Hood. Imagine if one of them used to be skinny woman? What if?

For those familiar with the Ryoko character, a super fat rhino body works because her canon personality is so brash, larger-than-life, greedy and reckless that a big bulking beast actually suits her far more than her original slender human female frame. It’s also why she makes such an excellent TF subject—she’d definitely be into it if it gave her a stats boost or allowed her to really let go. The corruption would take over quickly.

My darker, more curious TF interests have pushed her transformation much further into the unrecognisable territory as a cool way to explore extremes, and some of that more juicy girl to huge beast before/after action. She’d make a good fat brute. I still like the BBW furry Rhinoko stuff as a separate thing entirely, but it’s been a big mixture of my own artistic/kink curiosity and lots and lots of feedback from you guys! If people wanna see more I’ll draw her more often.

I have often wondered if nullifying health issues associated with obesity and excess weight might be medically easier than trying to fight the body’s nature predilection towards putting on weight. Naturally this would facilitate the fatty kinksters like us to floomp into astonishingly large fat blobs and enjoy ourselves, but it’s certainly a decent prompt for a story either way.

Transhumanism does interest me a lot, even though the space is being clogged by annoying tech bro billionaires building nightmare machines, but I find the idea of technology allowing you to transform into the creature, gender and size you desire very alluring.

I have an innate urge to transform and fatten, but perhaps i’m 100 years too early to transform myself into a furry earth goddess of gluttony, seducing you to join my cult of hedonistic love.

I've definitely enjoyed playing around with my feminine/female fox girl fursona Suzie, who has rapidly become a fave OC. It was fun to start off with the premise of how i'd like to present myself as a furry... It turns out that I ideate myself as a big, soft woman full of nurturing energy but a rock/goth gritty aesthetic to give her some gumption and strength (and match my clothing and music tastes). Strong feminine traits, fiercely loving but also sexually open are some things I'd like to have more of. It's been really fun to explore it and let it evolve. I never felt the need to have a fursona until I realised this is kinda where my heart lay, so it's now evolving with a reflection of my own personality, furry silliness, a community aspect where people are conjuring up scenarios and stories that are beyond flattering and satisfying to read. She might evolve independently into something more individual, but at the very least she's a bit of an avatar for this account and my fat furry art in general. I think she's slowly becoming more of a softie, but the party girl is still in there... a bit of a reflection of my own age.

Increasingly, because of the obscurity of her original anime source, Ryoko and her furry/TF'd offshoots are sort of OCs, hopefully not too close to Sonic recolours on DA circa 2007. People just assume she's mine when really it's just because I love putting teal spiky hair on things and going "oooh look what you've turned into" and anybody under 30 has never heard of Tenchi. It's pure theft. I've answered a few Qs already as to why it never gets old for me. I guess it's the same reason some artists love to draw Rouge. Timeless baddie girls are peak.

Occasionally you hit a rich seam of inspiration and the rhinoko and generally affinity with drawing beast-like rhino girls has been very fun, and it turns out a little underutilised in furry art. Work your niche! She's definitely grown into multiple "alts" where she's either more cuddly and anthro versus becoming an extremely transformed brute or animal hybrid. Huge personality contrasts and characterisation there. As always, when I get positive feedback for something and people start to suggest stuff based on OCs or unique designs I get a big boost and more stuff begins to spill out my kinky brain. It also guides their development and I've reworked things because I know it gets people off haha! I never know where things will take me and this one has definitely stood the test of time from a fickle artist's brain.

Altogether, there are more OCs that I am desperate to let evolve by drawing them more, adding some fluff or backstory. The Scottish cow girls + Yumi (old OC who has a Ludmilla-like TF into a big purple dragoness xenos) melded into a single universe of mythos vs xenos BBW that I can flesh out (in multiple ways) is a goal. I imagine the good "local" mythos fighting back against a draconic and malevolent xenos incursion with lots of heavy girls plotting against each other would be mildly popular, and allow for some stronger characterisations, incrementally better designs and personality development. It's kinda cool how much hotter a character becomes when you see them go through range of feelings and experiences. It certainly makes them more real.

Thanks so much! I find a lot of enjoyment not sticking to one particular style, both out of a desire to improve but also out of curiosity. Skipping around though, I'm not sure I can ever pull off anything as good as somebody who draws the same style as a proper signature!

I also have a short attention span and need to get art out there quickly to fulfil an idea! This is where the idea of a "daily doodle" or the rapid sketches came in. Good practice, more content... but the quality had to drop. Sometimes I wanna super stylised cartoony flub, other times I want something that looks like it jumped out of a body horror comic. I do want to do more vector/sticker art. I have some plans in that department once I complete this latest batch of comms.

I appreciate the support and kind words as always, I wish I could deliver more and more, and it feels nice to be able to share even a half baked idea as a sketch and get feedback!

That plump, black haired fox girl I now draw frequently was always a reflection of myself in silly fat furry form. Her name is “Suzie”, and she’s an OC in her own right and may or may not evolve independently, but I had been toying for years with the idea of making a fursona. After all those years I STILL ended up becoming a basic bitch fox (my second choice was to make a cow fursona FYI!) It’s an odd feeling to come out to yourself as A: a real furry, B: somebody who ideates as a member of the opposite gender as an ideal and C: a very fat person, all in one fell swoop, but there she is! Much to unpack.

I think the weight of all three points (pun intended) and perhaps just waiting for the right environment and social surrounds to come clean with myself was behind the long wait to draw an OC like her. Either way, it has been really fun, wherever it leads, and it’s nice she’s got a little fan following looking to see just how fat I make her. One thing’s for certain, I get to play dress up and feed some of my own personal fantasies along the way, which is one of the crazy things about being an artist. For the most part, I have self-ideated a LOT as the characters I draw— it’s really the engine behind my art. I have habitually used drawing as a cope or escape strategy since I was a kid and Suzie is like the most recent and compete form of that. It’s a psychoanalyst’s wet dream right there haha.

So yeah, as a weird little niche artist doing my thing you also get to peer inside my mind when I draw characters like Suzie and I’ll probably reserve her for situations, scenarios and experiences I most identify with or desire. Design-wise she is that kind of brash, rock-chick, strong, but feminine girl I have always admired and loved. Aside from the kink stuff, I would love to draw her more expressively as, pointing out the obvious here, characters with a range of emotions feel much more real and interesting… and I sure as hell have a range of emotions! It’s all in the name of practice and getting better at art, I swear…

My stories and scenarios do tend to fixate more on the 1st person feedee perspective, where the subject’s enjoyment and arousal (guilt and kink laden as it might be) around their own unleashed gluttony and weight gain pulls the plot along. It’s really interesting how I’ve not written or drawn much from the 3rd person perspective of a feeder or onlooker. Feedee brain clearly takes over when I’m all excited to draw or write 😋.

The idea of making an OC who is a feeder to either my sona or an another cute character is very compelling. They’d need some development, otherwise they’d simply morph into somebody who is merely every feedee’s ideal: a caretaker, cook and admirer who loves to fatty fuck! (Hmmm why would that be a bad thing?)

Also, the idea of a feeder having an inner monologue describing their desire to turn somebody into a fatty and how amazing they might look is a fresh perspective and already getting me a little excited. When a feeder and a feedee both get on the same wavelength it’s mega sparks and probably the most erotic thing to experience in this kink space! Plus the fat just piles onnn uwu
