Gotta find the positives in things... I've seen some comments implying that Sonalodo should not be shown in bondage, so here's my official objection to that one. : )

You ask me how long it takes to make my art, I respond by describing my whole art process from start to finish. ... which, as it turns out, is *quite long*... 🧵1/5

sissy-baby-kiri asked: How long does it take for you to draw your bondage comics, from conception, to lineart, to coloring, to shading, to posting/uploading on your account(s)?
The artsona on the side: "This is actually very difficult to estimate. There are a lot of steps to this process, including some that have to happen before I even put the first lines on canvas. The overall time also depends heavily on the complexity and scope of the work. Not to mention, an all-inclusive estimate would also need to include the time I spend thinking about the project, even when I'm nowhere near my computer. For some projects, that can be a lot of time..."

Scriptwriting: 5min - infinity per panel.
The artsona is typing away at a typewriter.
"To start, what's easy to forget is that scriptwriting can be a surprisingly big portion of the whole process. Between initial outline, fleshing out the idea and writing out the detailed script, a lot of time can pass. Some ideas spend years in this stage before I finally commit to drawing them out. ... some ideas also never exit this stage, remaining in my ever-growing backlog to this day..."Sketching: 15min - 2hr per panel
The artsona is doodling various things on a big whiteboard.
"Once a script (and my confidence in it) matured enough, I start sketching out the individual parts of the art. I don't care much for actually assembling the whole page at this point, nor about exact details. I just want the lines to start existing and the composition to start forming. Fun fact: My initial sketches tend to be exceptionally low-resolution. (I just find those easier to work with.) There's also a lot of trial and error involved with this step. Like with this drawing! That one looked like this at first." The text is pointing at a smaller, alternate version of the art of the artsona doodling.

Composition: 1min - 30min per panel
The artsona is moving around and rescaling a lot of digital boxes floating all around him.
"Once that's done, it's time to assemble the actual composition. To start, this means rescaling all the various, incredibly small sketches to fill the page, and to position the panels so that the page is filled efficiently. I also plan out the placement of speech bubbles, moving elements around so that the text fits, while ensuring that they're presenting a natural flow. For comics like mine, some people may reflexively start reading panels from right to left, instead of the intended left to right. So finding a composition that 'hints' viewers into the correct read order is another part of this."

Recently, @squeakyray.bsky.social has been putting in good work to bring Yous to the 3D realm, and teasing up a fun little rivalry between our OCs while they were at it. So with that in mind, I was surprised to notice I haven't actually drawn anything for that myself yet. Let's rectify that! ¬ᴗ¬

Got too thirsty for putting my character into high-security restraint scenarios, so I accidentally full-rendered a low-resolution doodle again. @ᴗ@' Whoops. But at least low-resolution does not imply low-security... ¬ᴗ¬

Happy New Year, everyone! It has now been 2 years since I started the big QA round that's still ongoing. The QA backlog still isn't empty, but by now, certainly dated. There's also been a few requests to reopen questions again. So let's go ahead and start the new year with a fresh new list! 🧵1/2

A latex sunrise sounds fun. :3c A latex sunset, on the other hand, I'd imagine to feel similar to a real sunset; A calm, quiet period after a stressful day. Very nice.

You take a witch, you add belts, and you get something awesome. ... which also means, if you add *more* belts, you get something *more* awesome...! It's simple math, really. :3c

Yous is good at catching ghosts. Here they are with one right now! A real ghost! Just listen to that ghostly moaning... Happy Halloween! :3c

Got another batch of rubber cuties to share~ c: Always fun to clean up and shine up some basic doodles that were made over the course of the months. Hope you have fun with the results, too!
