So the "New character" option won quite handily, which leads us to this point: What should she be like?

Took some suggestions on species, but I think I'm going to go with my original thought of a mustelid. That said, any particular type you all would like to see? Weasel? Stoat? Mink? I want to keep the initial body quite thin, so going to avoid badgers and wolverines, as they don't lend themselves well to that build.

But more importantly, I'm not sure which direction to go with for personality. She's a pred, but there's a ton of different personality archetypes that work great with preds for different reasons: Innocent and don't know what they're doing is terrible?...

After a lot of input and thought, I narrowed things down to two options:

1) Priscilla's the pred and eats a buncha people based on how much money is raised, and the end result is an alternate design for her I'll use later (and the journey is fun). https://aryion.com/g4/view/957912 <- Priscilla
2) I make a new character who starts out rail-thin and gets fatter and fatter the more people donate, and the end-result is her permanent canon design.

Sound fun? I don't know when I'll do this yet, but it's a thought I had in mind.

Just out of curiosity, is there a character of mine you think would be good for a permanent semi-canonical weight gain drive where she eats and digests a bunch of people and her appearance in everything else changes from that point forward in my art?
There's some precedent for this with Shinara due to Pred Quest 2 (see the start of the interactive versus the end and you'll see her current appearance aligns with that), and I'm curious if someone else would work well for that. Could even be Shinara again, potentially. The only exception is Dawn, because I have very specific plans involving her weight.

EDIT: Narrowed it down to Priscilla, 'Bah, and a potential new character. I'll be thinking about this for a bit. :3

Since Gumroad became a bitch,  maventreecat is on Ko-Fi now. You can access her server through subscription here, but make sure you don't write anything fetish-related in your comments when you sub, 'cuz PayPal is still involved unfortunately.

Also I'm back from vacation. Expect updates and stuff now. lol

Great production value, gorgeous backdrops, spot-on music and voice acting, and of course some really great casual vore. This is the kind of shit I aspire to myself, and it's so great seeing more large vore animation productions! Highly recommend watching this, and the fact that  silkysworld put it on YouTube for free is almost a crime. This is a true passion project, and I respect the hell outta that.

Just for funsies. Maybe you'll learn something new or interesting about someone you like or just don't know much about. :D

Do keep in mind that in any given canon, a prey character can basically only be eaten once (with some exceptions for cats and their nine lives), so asking questions like "Why do you like eating Samantha so often?" is gonna be met with confusion.

People keep asking me about commissions, and I should probably talk about them, if only to have something to point to when asked.

I am currently not open for commissions, but I am thinking about opening up again. However, I don't have a lot of time and I'd need to find a way to set aside some extra time for small ones. Because of this, I'm going to be extremely limited, and one of the things keeping me from re-opening is that I know I'm going to get more requests than I can take on. I have a hard time saying "No," often because you guys usually come up with really enticing stuff, so figuring out how to pick and choose is really difficult, especially since I'm basically only going to take like maybe 2-3 things a month to avoid burnout. Considering a randomizer, but I...

You are all cooler and more interesting than the average person by default simply because of your experience, and then you have so much going for you on top of that. Things are going to get harder, and I'm so fucking sorry that's the case, but please, please remember that you make people's lives better by being in them. I'm going to do as much as my limited resources will allow to make yours better as well, and I know there's plenty of other cis folks out there who'll do the same. Not enough, never enough, but we're going to try.

This circumstance is not forever. Eventually you will be just as accepted as gay people and others of similar oppressed ilk, and hopefully by the time that happens, those people will be (mostly) free from the oppression they still face. I don't know...

I'm...doing okay. Mostly. Forest's death is still fucking me up from time to time, but it's manageable now. Something incredible I can't talk about yet happened during the last few months as well, and it's been one of the high points of my life. I have the best fucking friends on the planet, and I love my immediate family. Life is okay right now despite everything, and I'm going to do everything I possibly can to make it better, for myself and those I care about.

I've been productive on the art front as you can tell. Been working on things for other people for the last four months, and I'm finally winding down on those projects and about ready to start working on A New Dawn is Grazing again. Expect the first episode to be completed in the next month or two. Maybe a bit...

Probably not something a lot of y'all wanna think about if you are in fact subscribed to him, but your money will only be going to Patreon from now on, and Patreon sucks.

I tried to get them to cancel his account, but their policy is that only family and those legally allowed to speak for him can do that, even though I gave them proof. I understand the policy, but also it sucks.
