So!  For those of you who have been paying attention and/or enjoying the series, I plan on doing more, but taking a little step back and doing a little other artwork, a piece I just posted and another piece (so far) that I'm not posting until Valentine's because it is for someone's mate on the day, they have a copy, and I'll post it here then too (So they don't see it prematurely).

Anyways!  I've been developing the idea for the Sexobites, and it has been fun, even if I have been doing some artwork out of my comfort-zone a little, just because the series needs it, it is something that happens.

So, I have ideas for other sexobites, but I kind of want people's input...

Classes:
* Toy Class: The lowest rank of all of the Sexobites, living to get pleasure by pleasing others. (Pussycat, others incoming)
* Gatherer Class: Those sexobites who go out in to various mortal realms, trying and poking at the cracks in their dimensional home or prison, getting out and gathering mortals to expand the host. (Vixen, Chameleon, Tiger, not sure if more are incoming in this class)
* Processing Class: Those that do TF / Training for mortals who are 'on the way' to becoming a Sexobite, though that process may take years or decades. (Squid & Cattle, there will be more of these)
* Harvesting Class: Those who use the pull of the Pleasure Cores (look at the chameleon for info) to escape their prison, going out and finding 'mature' Cores and bring them back. (No Pictures, I have an idea for a nurse-type with long latexy gloves that stuffs in to people to tug the cores out).
* Planning Class: These tend to form the upper echelons, these are the ones who organize strategic activities, plan orgies, target groups causing problems for the Sexobites, and so on.  (No Pictures yet...  I know they 'need to exist', but there are no pictures or planned characters for this type yet)

Note: The 'rank' of a Sexobite in their culture depends on how long they can 'hold off' of their urges, make plans, and get a better payoff in the long term.  So the Toys are obviously on the bottom, having no choice...  The Vixen and Chameleon out-rank the Tiger, though the Tiger is physically more dangerous, power isn't an indicator of Rank.  An individual may be 'out of role' in more or less 'control', causing them to be considered a higher or lower rank among the Sexobites.

So!  To the point of this Journal: I would like some input from those enjoying the series: Any ideas for class/kink/animal-type?  Like the nurse, I am unsure what type to go with, I am leaning towards bat with big ears and tail, slinking in in the night.  I would like a few other ideas for for the harvester, maybe some others; and maybe some ideas for the Planning Class sexobites.  If someone has an idea for another 'Class' of Sexobite, I would approve of any suggestions on that front as well.

Note: The cattle didn't appear on Deviant Art because it is simply outside of what Deviant Art will allow, censoring or not.

Working on art, been using the Wacom Bamboo pad for all of the recent colored ones, as I have stated with the 'side-by-side' pictures...

I have seen the commissions section, is that functioning again? Last few times I tried to mess with it, it was down, broken, or under maintenance.

Should I put up a commissions section? It'd at least give me a list of pictures to mess with, and what rates should I charge? Keep in mind that this 2015 Feb - Annoyed Gagged Vixen takes me about 2 hours to do, and doing something up to this standard 2015 Feb - Magical Kitty Girl adds another good 2 hours...

Maybe some time would be shaved off if I have a specific idea, and maybe more with a concept model picture to start with...

That said, any suggestions? I know that there would be some things I wouldn't want to draw, but, that is a thing probably for most artists.

Sub-note: I'd include the links proper, but every time I try, they don't resolve for me, don't know why.

And here we are, early September!

It has been a while since I wrote a journal, might wright more, might not.  That's not the point.

Anyways, been having internet issues, ended up going out with a friend last night to a thing called 'Drink & Draw', it is meant to be drawing models who come in for it, that is cool, conceptually... But, I almost never base my art off of people, I know I should do such things more often... secondly, found that I take way too much time when I am focusing on a picture, compared to the expected model times...

Should I keep going?  People there wanted me to show up again, but I don't really drink, and this takes place in a bar / cafe that expects people to buy food / drink...  And I really don't drink, and I am a frugal bastard by nature, a skin-flint if you will...  So, should I?  I'm worried about feeling bad for not helping to pay for the lovely ambiance, etc.

What should I do?

Okay, I ~used~ to work in internet publication YEARS ago, like... over 15... And I remember being told '75 DPI is the right size', due to load-times, I know things have changed severely, and usually upload in 150 DPI.

Should I increase this?  I could re-fix almost all of my last 2 years of pictures to higher DPI... And if this is the case, what ~is~ the right DPI to post on to these places?  I kind-of keep it only to 150 because I'm not paying these people anything, nor making any money really, and don't want to fill their servers...

What do you guys think?

I was curious if anyone could/would suggest some groups to submit some of my art to... I've noticed most of the 'big names' have several groups most of their stuff is in, 3-4 for the least of the pictures... I think maybe 2 dozen of my pictures total are in even one group...

...suggestions?  Been drawing a fair bit lately, hoping to get more up, we'll see... Haven't done enough Halloween themed art yet, and only got 4 days until I am ~going~ to hit a depression spike (oct 24th), might not get back to drawing until after my birthday (nov 7th) if past-years are any indicators...

On a more general note, hope everyone's been enjoying the artwork, hope to keep drawing more...  I need to settle something in, been feeling dark moods due to having no purpose... Oh, I know lots of people enjoy my work here, but... I feel...  listless, pointless, drifting in the wind, like my wheels are spinning...  Wish I could get moving, but I've tried to find things to cling to to help, but they have all been put on stall by various factors.  Holidays have historically been a ~very~ bad season for me emotionally, here's hoping it won't repeat, but no real expectation that it won't.
