And then I wonder why I can't pull internet numbers anymore- Also I need to make more Enamtila memes/reaction images/etc.

I learned that there's actually a manga with an Alraune as the main character, & from what I've read so far it's pretty well up my alley. Unfortunately it was put on hiatus in '24, so I'm not counting on it being finished. Gotta appreciate those with monster girls as MCs, especially taur-types.

Higher res uploads of the pregnant not-quite-a-lamia drawn last year, since they're tangentially related to some day that I certainly have nothing to do with- Story for these drawings is back on the original post: bsky.app/profile/ninl...

Something else with Aiyana: I did a centaur anatomy study with her in 2017, including skeleton, muscles, & organs. Far from the first centaur anatomy study, but they all differ slightly. I kept reduced human hip bones because many muscles anchor to it, and went with double lungs for more capacity.

With it being the year of the horse, it's about time we got a new Aiyana drawing. And with the weather heating up, a modern-alt swimsuit felt appropriate. Bonus kicking version included: Those centaur foal can be some little menaces, as the beach seems to have gotten them excited. #pregnantart

Venus wants you! Now I'm not telling you how to live your life or anything...but you might wanna weigh your options carefully.

Say, are there any fictional creatures, monsters, or even vehicles that people think would be a good candidate for a Nin-style monster girl? Preference for things that can be described as heavy/lumbering. ...Not that I've got time to draw any with my hands full as is, but still curious.

I was supposed to do chores and stuff today, but instead I wrote out a five page story brainstorm for totally-not-Biollante- Unfortunately it's missing parts in the middle, which is always the weak point in my stories. Strong ideas for intro & climax/end, but figuring out the middle is tough.

There's a peculiar feeling/energy I seek when making characters & stories, but can never fully capture it. The result is that I keep thinking up more and more concepts trying to get there. Bit of a blessing & curse at the same time- Though 2 ideas get close enough that I'm contemplating them hard.

Was checking out Honkai Star Rail boss music and landed on Illwish. Plant-themed monster girl bosses hit hard; I need to take design notes.

With the recent Eliza piece, it's worth mentioning that I had made another animated PoV before, through Anaesi's eyes. The original had water sound effects, but unfortunately isn't compatible on this site, and the video's master file was lost to an old computer. It's still available on DA though.

Eliza, but from her point of view as her and Katylin share a quiet moment together, with some slight disturbance from within the womb.

Not there yet, but starting to get a bit of life on screen.

It's been nearly half-a-year and I haven't drawn a pregnant human character yet. Might be time to fix that... in a somewhat atypical way. Well, in typical "Nin be doing too much" fashion though, so not anything quick.

Having the entry-level game engine be designed for multiplayer is not doing any favors in this regard. Also the creature sim genre in general tends to leave a lot to be desired. That said I'm harder to please than the typical gamer- ...or fetishist.

There's something about the combination of exhaustion and pent-up horniness that results from a work crunch that lends itself well to being inspired for new character ideas. If only I didn't already have way more ideas than I could possibly handle...

One last drawing featuring a Balloon Molly mermaid to wrap up MerMayternity. At a glance she may look double pregnant, but that fish belly is simply swollen with no organs inside. A peculiar trait they have been bred for, so they only know life in an aquarium, yet still wonder of beyond the glass.

Trying to squeeze in one last mermaid drawing before May ends, even though all the remaining days are work days- Also something not quite as aggressively niche as the other two.

Ever eager to please, Amaris plays the role of maid and delivers a meal prized by her people. However it reeks, as it's most likely fermented, given an aquatic species is unlikely to use fire. Amaris herself appears bothered; not by the smell, but by her own pregnant body lurking below the surface.

Something I really ought to be doing is building a library of 3D props. Take a more long-term approach to art and get some more Blender practice in the process.

It's time for the pregnant MerMaids of MerMays past to make their reappearance as I work on this year's MerMaid. Last year I missed it (apparently 2021 too), but can't let that happen twice in a row. Same drawings as last year's summary, but should be higher res now.

I only just learned that image uploading here got upgraded. It sounds like there's a 4k, 2MB limit now, where it was a 2k, 1MB limit before. Definitely a boon for the types of big-bodied monster girls I draw. No more having to make separate lower resolution images for here. (Mostly)

Overambitious like usual, but I got a pregnant mermaid drawing done. This one features a Sea Cucumber gal and her Pearlfish companion, plus a story blurb. Also this drawing uses a cutaway for a change, since #unbirth is part of this. For those unfamiliar, some Pearlfish hide in Sea Cucumber butts.

Being into epic dramatic content, but- Can't just drop a solo piece of art and expect to achieve that. Need to build up a good scenario through multiple pieces/ long-form content, but- That'd take a lot of time. Gotta finish something, so draw fluff instead, but- Inspired for drama, so stall out.

It's the month of May, and that means mermaids. Pregnant mermaids! ...Maybe. I only managed one drawing last year despite a head start, while I've barely even started this time. But my job schedule looks a little lighter, and I'm not trying to shade a jellyfish again, so hopefully I can manage.

I felt like drawing that previously previewed plant gal, so here she is. Though there's supposed to be another plant gal beside her that I still need to draw, then write up a proper introduction for their story. Can't let these plant gals' immobility stop me from giving them stories.

Since I'm still away from home, here's a bit of Nin pencil work for a change, something I rarely do when around my computer. My lines aren't very steady, so paper is usually reserved for roughly exploring ideas, but I tried something a little more refined this time. Also another plant gal.

May is coming up fast, so I had better start thinking mermaids, especially after last year's poor showing. (I actually had a head start then, but work and painting the jellyfish wrecked me.) Leaning towards echinoderms this time, bringing a bit of bottom-dweller variety.

Like clockwork, I draw one panel of comic, then get exiled by my job again. It's time to read the writing on the wall: that comics are not a thing I can do anymore. Unless I want to scribble them out, but my scribbles are pretty bad. Otherwise gotta switch to more text-oriented projects.
