but alas i have forsaken my plurk empire

how do u do the porns

teach me

what.. do u wanna know? like how to get clients or how to draw the D or what?

I'm mostly joking, I was bellyaching earlier about how hard drawing pronz is . HI LES.

HELLO HOW ARE U

yeah and it is hard for like 100 reasons, but it's a really good way to improve as well

I AM GOOD. I guess practice makes perfect!!

i'd show you but you're scared of dongles

tho serious advice for drawing porn is to draw all the torsos and heads involved before adding the limbs, so you can map out where the connections and action is going on

limbs

why do people have so many

drawing each body in a different color and on a different layer helps too so you can change size and shape without fuxxing everything up

yeah so i did a piece that involved a doberman woman with 12 arms

2many

12many

and recently finished a 11-person orgy, where some of the characters had 2 to 4 dongles

what is the most commonly requested variety of furry for the porns, and what was the most obscure

you mean like.. species?

yeah

because dragons and wolves are probably tops, followed by horses, domestic dogs

red pandas surprisingly

for obscure.. hmm. i'll have clients have me design characters for the purpose of using an obscure species. i did a jewel caterpillar recently

oh and of course foxes are up there in popularity, surprisingly fennecs get more play than red foxes

i think even furries are like 'red foxes are so typical' and go for arctic, fennec, or silver foxes instead

oh cows/bulls are pretty common

i did a tuatara recently, never seen that in the fandom before. beaver, tasmanian tiger, squirrel monkey, stag beetle, puffin, yak, and seahorse are all recent rare species

i had a client that i did a whole bunch of fish for. like mermaids except the humanoid torso is an anthro fish? but that included salmon, trout, tuna, mahi, sailfish, charr.. it was really cool

pretty much the only non-shark fish you see around are barracudas

dudeeee anthro fish

have you seen any fish at all? sharks are even kinda a new flavor, what with those raver lady sharks getting popular

what about bird anthros also hi les!! if you even remember me

i could never forget u greer

i follow ur tumblrs!!!

and yeah avians are fairly common

mostly gryphons and birds of prey in my experience

corvids too

awww c: you flatter me also does that mean you never get like greater grouse sage anthros

just hawks/eagles/gryphons or w/e?

I haven't seen much besides sharks

Maybe a few eels?

I may have seen a goose or two but never drawn one on commission... I know there are specific artists that will be super into a species/family and p much create most of the art for them

there are a few bird guys for sure

that's neat

but i've drawn a few odd birds, like penguin, puffin, cardinal, and fantasy bird species like phoenixes

TONS of gryphons, which p much always use birds of prey for the bird half, sometimes vultures/buzzards/condors but that's rare

and i'm not including dinosaurs in avians bc most furries just put them with scalies? TBH people making fun of furries make a bigger deal out of "UM WOULDN'T IT BE A FEATHERY??!?!" and stuff like that

what is your favorite porn recently drawn

also hello!!!! i still have to deliver your present, but ALSO i just got the best thing ever for you LAST NIGHT. this is like fate.

HMM well i've got a client who always has interesting ideas, so I got to design a fantasy-scifi bikini armor for his lion character

like a swords-n-sorcery but with salvaged technology cyberpunkish sort of theme

he's got a group of 80s animesque space pirates too that he has me draw from time to time

AND WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE PRESENTS other than have a birthday months ago lmao

oh shit that sounds really cute

also it was really just the perfect thing and i couldn't resist

Also Les, I thought of something else to ask!! You make enough to have to pay taxes, I assume. How do you deal with that?

hmm almost three years, this is my third year filing taxes

and aha... taxes... taxes...

2014 is weird because i made so much less than before on account of gallbladder disease and the stress/ED it induced, then recovering from the surgery

self employment tax is really unfair and unproportional, especially since a lot of the people it applies to are artists and musicians

but 2013 and 2012 I paid taxes, and then i spend the rest of the year trying to refill my bank account

I really SHOULD pay quarterly so this doesn't happen, but again, in 2014 I never had enough to actually do that, on account of trying to recover

my mom helps me file them because she's good at life stuff, and also does my dad's self-employment taxes (he is a musician)

also oregon has a hell of an income tax, so that sucks too. traded for no sales tax

but thanks to the ACA, i've got full health coverage. without it, i'd be bankrupt from the surgery. or more likely, still ignoring the issue

I kind of remember that. You having your gallbladder out that is\

what are the weirdest furry dicks you've has to draw

lmao it was about the last time i was on plurk

hmm the weirdest dicks. well, i'm still confused about snake dicks. like not dicks as a snake would have, but a snake instead of a dick. this is not just one character, but a THING for some furs

and i think i drew a character who had a snake dick, and then that snake had a dick for a tongue? lmao. cocktongues are also a THING

i can't think of anything else, maybe i'm just too desensitized and don't see bad dragon shapes as weird at all
