Hubris is a pred's worst enemy.

One day you decide to flex your appetite by swallowing a massive rhino in front of your awestruck friends, then a few days later you find yourself sitting on the john, howling in pain, your nails digging trenches in the porcelain, feeling like you're about to split in half from the groin-up and wondering if you'll ever manage to walk in a straight line again. And just like a mean hangover will have you swear you'll never drink another drop of alcohol, such a situation will have you swear to God you'll never eat anyone ever again.

Then you'll do it again when the whole ordeal is but a bad memory and your body has recovered from your stubborn mind overestimating its limits.

As a general rule : if your maw hurts when you send a prey in, you can be sure your tailhole will hurt much, much more when the time comes to push said prey's remains out.

Ashton may be an Apex pred just like his mom, he still lacks some of her experience. But getting said experience also requires pushing his limits in the first place. And it'll hurt before it stops hurting~

The long-delayed final lineart for this pic, now including the background ! In fact, the very reason it took me so long to complete this pic in the first place is because having to add a background used to demotivate me; now that I am more comfortable with sketching on tablet, however, I was able to finally complete it, and I actually had a lot of fun working on it, sketching it out and adding all those little details.

I also wanted to experiment a bit with the concept of a toilet bowl specifically designed to be "pred-proof" and handle the kind of dumps you can expect a pred to push out. That's why I went for a chunky design with a big ol' lever in place of a standard flush, meant to convey how sturdy and powerful such toilets would be. There's probably some kind of industrial grinder in there somewhere, to make sure even the biggest loads could be properly crushed down the pipework without utterly wrecking it~

I'll definitely be coloring it, once I've made up my mind about the bathroom's color scheme.
