Context: First picture is me (in the center, with my mental halves on either side). Second one is a character I originally created for DnD!

'.. is that, compassion is lacking and selfishness is born..' - post limits making me cull my words.

I am not in a place to give true sympathy.. I could never know the pain you've gone through. But.. I do genuinely wish you better in life, for what it's worth from one stranger to another.

The unending pain of the world is that, and selfishness is born not just from bad people, but also good people who are desperate or misled.
You are not, and were not ever to blame for being put in a life like this. You are deserving of genuine love. No matter how the world attempts to say otherwise.

Totally fair~ Being self-taught, I tend to pick one or two things I feel like I need practice in to focus on when drawing, scouting out references as necessary.

Safe to say that this will absolutely be a reference for improving how I draw shiny stuff~

Well, specifically, it's the broken up points of light that simulate the skin surface. I haven't the sense for how to arrange those just yet. Perhaps that'll be the next thing I focus on!

Man that is some nice shine. I gotta figure out how to do that.

Same reason tentacles are so effective~ Except when it's extra paws, it's more 'familiar'. :3

Also let's not discount how good they are for cuddling~ [Forgotten just about as much as it is for tentacles!]

They're there~ Leaning on one, resting chin on another, tugging with the third, and beckoning with the last~

It is good posing practice for sure.

Honestly I've considered making quad arms a staple of my character design, but it feels a bit over-designed when not tied to the bee getup.

Not an easy one, but, being an artist often can be. Draw anything you want - and with enough skill, make it look good too.

With the added benefit that it can encourage and be inspired by sex, and can spread the enjoyment (to those keen on it) if you choose to share~

And these delights are why I'm an artist~ I'm glad you like it! I'm actually proud enough of this that I might make it a finished picture later~ Give it all that pretty glowy lighting and shading to really show off those golden hues. :3

Some people don't like green jolti. Personally, I think with a nice lime tone it looks lovely. :3

A sentiment that I hold for so many that I care about. Everyone has difficulty in life. At times, we are a burden on ourselves, and it's not something we can always carry alone. So i believe everyone deserves someone by their side to shoulder that weight.
