A Decade of Lewd (Patreon)

It's official. I've been making pervy drawings digitally, for over TEN YEARS! ♡〜٩( ๑˃ᗜ˂)۶〜♡

The picture on the left was drawn all the way back in 2007, around this time of year o.o; It's the first smut I put together with only a computer and tablet. This remastered project was a special treat, because it's cool seeing just how my approach and style has evolved since that bygone, pioneer era ( ᐛ )و

My original idea for this scene is a sort of impregnation. The creature, that I decided should be a plant, uses its tentacles to dispense a fertile cream, akin to semen, inside of a humanoid host's body.
The cream is laden with a kind of spore, which anchors itself either to the host's uterine walls, stomach lining or intestines where appropriate. Once attached, each spore gestates into a "pollinated" seed inside the body, which are all finally birthed from the vagina and/or anus ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Some other fun facts about how I approached things in 2007:
♥ Drawings were made in the old Photoshop 7. I had just begun exploring photo-manipulation at the time.
♥ Everything was drawn on the default, locked background layer. I only figured out what layers were AFTER doing this pic!
The paint-bucket tool did its job well enough, but still left an unsightly border between the color fill and the lineart.
♥ Toes! I didn't seriously experiment with hands and feet until much later~
♥ There's a subtle shine on the tentacles, thanks to a classical plastic-wrap effect that came bundled with Photoshop.
♥ I wish I hadn't chosen such an icky color for the tentacle's "cum", and the girl's hair. I was probably focusing more on figuring out Photoshop, instead of on color composition :p
♥ It was the age of Chocolate Rain and Afro Ninja.
♥ The original drawing is in a classic 4:3 aspect ratio, with a resolution of 1024x768. As you might conclude, my monitor was a 17" CRT!
♥ A cheap yet hardy Genius-brand tablet was my input of choice. Though, I didn't mess around with installing its drivers for ages, so this old pic has uniform lines, thanks to a lack of pressure sensitivity.
♥ This 2007 drawing, together with all my older scans (as of yet unreleased), were ALMOST LOST in a hard-drive failure.
In those days I used a humble single-core computer with a lone 40GB IDE hard drive. That drive was ALL I had aside from blank DVDs and a 256mb data-stick. I wasn't nearly as careful with backups then D: The 40GB drive didn't fail, in fact, it STILL WORKS TODAY. It was just one of those weird MBR corruptions.
As luck would have it, I had played around with format-recovery before, and used what I knew to restore most of my archive to a fancy 250GB hard drive. Sadly, a lot of other drawings and miscellaneous data was either corrupted, or couldn't be recovered at all ;w;

There! >3< I sincerely hope you like it! Here's to yet another decade packed full of perverted, depraved, voracious and dare I say... downright IMMODEST drawings ( ◞･౪･);
