Art and how it pertains to style is a very fun subject for me. You might not be able to readily tell from my own current art style, but I prefer more cartoonish aesthetics in all things. Since I began learning to draw nearly two years ago now, I've always held onto this dream of being able to draw in a fun cartoon style. Something with the power to inject that extra personality and fun into my work. I've made attempts in the past to do cartoony things but I could never fully grasp the look I wanted, or at least in a way that I felt confident about. So I decided to do a deep dive style study on some of my favorite cartoon illustrators this week. CatFatigue, OddTenn, Josh-S26, Mousticus, and Nokonyu specifically. Though the result above is mostly reminiscent of CatFatigue's style moreso than the others mentioned as I quite like it and wanted to understand it the most.
As an aside, adopting a typically SFW style and using it for NSFW content is it's own unique challenge but I did my best and am quite happy with the end result and I hope you will be too!
This week's story will be a bit light because I yammered on above, but I think it gets it's point across.
---------------------------------------
"So? You better have a good reason for talking to me directly about this. I specifically said NOT to do that."
I swallow hard, feeling small under Kat's gaze. Quite the feat considering her height. I pull out my phone.
"Yeah yeah I know. It's just I had some questions and the Google Form you put together doesn't have an FAQ or nothing."
She rolls her eyes and wordlessly gestures for me to follow her. A short walk away amongst the lockers, she turns back to face me.
"What wasn't clear? What's your question?"
"It's about the 'All-Day P(ass)' in the dropdown here." I pull out my phone and begin reading what's on the form verbatim. "Scorned by another? trouble with an ex? Just don't like someone? For $50 and a name, I'll make them disappear for 24 hours into a world of their nightmares."
She raises an eyebrow, looking indignant and more than a little embarrassed at having her own writing read back to her.
"Yeah? What's wrong with it? On god if you critique my writing or grammar or something..."
"No, not that. I just want to know what exactly you do to them? I got a... person I want to pick. But I need more specifics if you want my cash; what kind of nightmares are you talking about?"
She looks left and right before smiling at me. An unnerving smile. "Curiosity killed the Kat, you know? But tell you what, for the incredibly low information fee of $30 in my hand right now I'll show you exactly where they go. And since I'm feeling SO generous, if you're still interested we'll knock $5 off of that All Day P(ass) fee. Sound good, big guy?"
Despite feeling a bit like I'm getting fleeced, I pull a twenty and two fives out of my wallet. She snatches the bills out of the air before I can even formally offer them.
"As it turns out I'm with a client right now. Lucky you!"
"Really? Just looks like you're standing here talking to me."
"That's because I'm good at what I do. Now come. I can't show you where she is while anyone else is watching, and no photos or you're heading to an early grave..."
Still just as confused and now $30 poorer, I follow Kat into a janitor's closet nearby.
"What I'm about to show you doesn't leave this room, understand?"
I nod.

This is VERY good.

Thank you! This style study has been really fun to do so I'm super happy my first crack at it turned out nice.

Trying out new styles can be a real fun practice.

I support your drawings including bellies, but I *love* hammerspace anal vore~

It does have a certain power in and of itself. All the entrapment with none of the complex bulges. Where's the victim? Where are her organs? GOOD QUESTION.

Where? Someplace they won't be found of course~

I liked your other art before too but this is a NICE sharp style

Thank you! I really liked doing this and want to incorporate it more and more into my work moving forward.

Amazing, this image paired with that story snippet are exactly how I'd see this character abusing Hammerspace. Lovely work, as well, the cartoon-esque style is coming along beautifully and I'm very happy for how far you've come with it.
Also I'm sure there's at least one person in that universe that would spend their 50 bucks on getting themselves up there for a day (like myself), xD

A handy nightmare zone where you can always keep tabs on your prisoner. The perfect prison warden experience.
And thanks so much! There's still a ton of room to improve in the style and I plan on doing just that. But I'm so glad that you think my first crack at it works!
It'd honestly be fun to imagine someone paying Kat to shove them up her for a day. Definitely not the intent she'd planned on!

Came back to this and had another dumb idea to add on, maybe she decides to try a "maximum occupancy" test at some point to see how many people can fit in this nightmare hole of hers without bulging? If she's able to fit a fair few she might be able to increase her workload for some extra income, hehe

I have considered doing a double up sorta thing. Just gotta figure out how I'd personally draw it since I like the tinies big. I'd like to do a sort of thing where she shoves one in and they end up going too deep for an easy retrieval so she has to send in another to pull them out in a bizarre rescue mission kinda thing.
Posted by Zolatul 1 year ago Report
Ah, interesting. I was specifically thinking in the scenario from this art piece where she's somehow developed a Hammerspace capacity and was disappearing full sized people, lol, but tiniest would likely be fun as well. Hopefully either way she doesn't go the route of the "old lady who swallowed a fly" and just keeps sending people, tiny or not, up there deeper and deeper, XD
(Or considering we're all degenerates here hopefully she totally does)

Holy shit "Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly". That unlocked a memory.
Same size is also something I'd like to play with more. And the way I think of magic in my little universe could accommodate hammer space if I twisted it the right way. Could be fun!

Who's got better hammerspace, Kat or a GTA protag?
Posted by textingEdits 1 year ago Report
GTA protag can't put NPC's in their inventory, Kat can. That'd make escort missions way easier.
But a GTA protag can quickly just have whatever they need in their inventory just appear in their hands, very useful. Kat on the other hand, if she wants it back... more difficult.
Posted by MrValentine 1 year ago Report
Ah! So its like a side grade! Trading off some strengths to eliminate weaknesses (like A.I being more A than I)
That being said. Kat's may still be superior under the context of which is more dangerous? Because don't get me wrong when someone pulls a rocket launcher out of their ass yeah you'll be shaking in your boots but, as you described in an earlier comment, Kat's is like a little nightmare zone she always has on hand.
