Badumsquish, you magnificent man you.
You may be my favorite artist, no joke.
Pagan is a pretty damn good guy and commentor, but you…you rock. Hell, I’d even look at the gay things if they’re made by you. Legit.
Love you, man.

I have a Surface 3 and a lot of my friends who draw really like it. They take it away from me and draw ponies in Fresh Paint. Win win, because I send the files to them, and I get free art on my computer!
@phinpie
Its something I could do as easily as using a computer mouse if I could see what the heck I was pointing at before having already committed to the stroke.
@Keith Mowz
You have to train yourself to look at the screen for feedback, not your paper. It’s weird at first but it’s easy once you get used to it.
To each their own I guess
@Badumsquish
I’ve made so many attempts to try and get used to drawing with a tablet but it is the most bass-ackwards method of drawing that I can conceive of, and violates every method of imput my body has ingrained over 2 decades of using pencils and computers.
For those who haven’t actually thought about how you use those; you must draw on a blank piece of paper with a pencil that doesn’t leave any marks, while looking somewhere completely different. You also cannot see an indicator of where you are pointing at until you are a fraction of a second away from making contact with that surface, like trying to draw with a mouse when you can’t see the cursor.
@Solitude
Agreed, and ironically they can make good cute/innocent stuff. Though personally, I’m one of the few here not into the hardcore fan pr0n personally.
I mean a li’l sexy or risqué is fine, (and I even drew an anthro’ Luna in a bikini before) just not into the pr0nz.
@Mike J.
Yep! Greatest job in the world for an artist! You get hours of driving to think of ideas, and nothing better to do than draw them when you’re resting, refuelling, or having your truck loaded/unloaded. I keep a big pad of Cambridge graph paper (these guys) which I keep notes of timings and when to refuel (my truck has huge fuel tanks so I take note of where has cheaper fuel and time it to refuel there). They’re also quite ideal to draw on because they have a big stiff cardboard backing on them. It’s real easy to do from my lap.
I’ve long since moved to using a Wacom Intuos for most of my drawings though. This guy:
It’s a tricky learning curve to draw on one of them, but well worth it in the end.
@Solitude
I’ve always found drawing NSFW is better for learning anatomy and movements. Also too it allows for more freedom in what you draw.
It’s about now well known and famous companies/actors/creators/etc who started out doing porn or otherwise questionable stuff. It’s crazy to read that Enix started out making H-Games, Nintendo ran a chain of love hotels before hitting it big with Super Mario Bros, Dr. Seuss drew a nudie book called The Seven Lady Godivas, or that our very own Chris Savino (who wrote Boast Busters and Stare Master) originally wrote a web comic about a boy cat who was attracted to his mother.
Y’know, I actually like it when artists that are known more for their nsfw stuff do sfw stuff. There’s some surprisingly adorable/funny/[insert positive adjective here] art that comes out of that.
…And what are those notes about refueling? Are you really a trucker? Do you drive a giant, Optimus Prime-sized rig covered in flames and ponies? Or possibly flameponies?
I remember back in the day when I used to have the motivation to draw that much. But that was back in high school, when I was always sitting at a mostly empty desk with a pencil, paper, and not enough else to do because I’d always just blaze through everything in like 20 minutes.
@Parallel Black
Oh yeah. There’s a couple on the pile. There’s also one that’s done; I just haven’t written the story to go with it yet.
@Joey
Welp! That’s something to look forward to then!
@rainbowleader
People weren’t exactly complaining per se (not that I mind when people do either; everyone’s entitled to their opinion). It’s just a lot of people asked and I wanted to kind of get creative in how I answered them.
I’ve never had a complaint about what you put out. I’m just really really grateful we have someone like you around to come up with adorable or super out there content (I fucking LOVE your short description when viewing your tag).
As always, feel free to throw in a comment if you have questions
… Okay, super-important. Now, let’s say you were met by The Great Gazoo. Now. Would he call you Dumb-Dumb, Badumbdumb, Badumdumsquish, Badumdumtish, or Badumdumsquishtish?
Aw, thank you! That means a lot to me!

Oh, you mean like a touchscreen tablet?
Yeah, that can be a pain. Unless it’s a Surface :p

True. Not to imply that you should stop or anything. You do what you want.
And I’m familiar with that page. Tv tropes used to be my major time-sink before ponies.

They’ve been hunting for MONTHS.
Oops, sorry about ending the world and all that.
You are an awesome person! Keep that up!
Always back up your backups, bro.
You can’t say “Damn Aliens” here! You’ll offend the othe-OH GOD TOO LATE! NOT THE XENOMORPHS!!!
He’d probably say this:
Damn aliens
Yep!
Speaking of which, any Cuddlhu on the horizon…?
