AutumnNatural - Salon Dreams - The Conclusion

Great way to wrap things up by AutumnNatural.  Again, apologies for the delay.  More new art that should be ready to post next week - and I should have time to fit it into my schedule.

Reminder: If you've donated and didn't have a chance to list a title - check your junk mail folder - I reply to every donation I receive asking for clarification - make sure your paypal email is current - Thanks!

AutumnNatural - Salon Dreams 4

About time for that facial - courtesy Mistress Arianna.

AutumnNatural - Salon Dreams 3

As long as you're in the chair, why not go for the mani/pedi combo. All the guys are doing it these days.

AutumnNatural - Salon Dreams 2

From here on out, things get a little more interesting ;p  Great work by AutumnNatural.

AutumnNatural - Salon Dreams 1

Well....apologies to everyone - and most especially to AutumnNatural - this was supposed to be posted weeks ago and I've just been on an absolutely crazy work schedule.  So we'll be putting this one up over the course of the week - 10 gorgeous pages from an amazing artist.

Pin Up Mega Post

Still around...just been really really busy with life.  Lots of good stuff going on - but hard to stay focused here and there.

I will be doing a patreon-focused post or two (or three) in the near future, but for the moment, let's post a stack of pin-up singles I've been commissioning.  Generally I prefer the sequential art, but there are times that single pics work well and I like to support the artists.

We'll start with a couple pics from a newer artist - first time here - 13Saturn.  They've got a bit of a nifty theme - if you like bimbo or milf art at least.  Some nice animations on their page too.

Cluedog - Common Courtesy 2

Continuing the saga of Mistress Arianna at the bus stop.

Cluedog - Common Courtesy 1

Well, it is no exaggeration to say that Common Courtesy has - to date - been far and away the most popular sequence featured through my Donation Project.  It's certainly been encouraging to see fans willing to support and keep supporting the creation of new art by talented artists.

Cluedog and I have another project in the works, although I can't yet give an estimate for it (there will probably be at least one shorter piece featured in between).

As always, I would like to thank folks for their support of the project - it does go a long way towards helping me commission additional artwork and I know that the artists appreciate the additional support as well.

So...at this point, let's just start the posting - a little at a time here - but I'll put the whole thing up for anyone who didn't have a chance to donate for it over the last 4 years.  As always, you can always leave a tip in the donation box if you appreciate it - or give a little to another artist :)

Synthean - Fashionable Problems 2

Turns out that Mistress Arianna had just what her customer needed - as usual.

Synthean - Fashionable Problems 1

A thought occurs...I may have used this title before for a previous project.  No matter.

This is another visual concept I've had percolating for years - and it turns out Synthean was just the artist to bring it to fruition.

More importantly, this is the first time I've imposed on Synthean to add some of his own text.  I've loved reading his small quatrains and verses in previous pics (none of my commissions) - and given the period setting, it seemed like the perfect concept - and Synthean was gracious enough to indulge me.

Out of some manner of consideration, I have included a text free version after the break.

izmollizmoll - Reopening the Tokyo Branch

Well, it took a while, but Mistress Arianna finally made it back to Japan.  Turns out she's forgotten just how much she enjoyed running a branch of La De Baucherie Magique here.  In fact....she's been gone so long that her Nihongo is just a tad rusty...

This first outfit wasn't quite what Bossy had in mind when she went looking for a maternity dress....

Caption Entry - Jezebel

One last entry for Caption Challenge #3.  This one comes from my friend Jezebel over at Rachel's Haven.

Caption Entry - TG-Spain

Another returning contestant - TG-Spain sent in a couple of entries as well.

Caption Entry - TheUnthinker

Well it came down to the wire, but I did get a number of solid contest entries for Caption Challenge #3.

I'll post them all by the submitter, and then a separate post for the awards.

First we have a number from TheUnthinker (a pretty broad variety of topics including bimboization, tf, tg, and AR/AB/DL) - including the only sequences submitted:

Pink-Diapers - Trick or Treat

Happy Halloween!  It may or may not be a coincidence that my only real Halloween-themed commission this year is also from Pink-Diapers - I've been working with them a lot lately and the projects have been turning out better and better over time.

While there have been fewer posts in general lately, it's more a matter of consolidation - and waiting on pending pieces.

This set was actually a pretty tight rush job (ie. very short notice) - so any issues with the design are entirely due to me waiting till the last second to actually commission something for this year.  Frankly I think it turned out beautifully.  Yes, that is Mistress Arianna - for those keeping count.

Cobalt_k - Portraits (1992)

This'll probably be the last pic in the series for a while, but we have pretty much rounded out the 20th Century - so it's as good a place for a break as any.

Art by Cobalt_k.

Apologies for the lack of other recent art - more projects in the pipeline as always....just waiting on them.

AutumnNatural - Body Art (finale)

"This looks amazing - it's exactly what I had in mind."

"I always make it my business to give the customer what they want."

AutumnNatural - Body Art (4)

"Nearly done dear.  I think you'll love the way these colors brings out your wild side."

AutumnNatural - Body Art (3)

Time to get to work.  It takes more skill to tattoo with the old tools, but people are willing to pay a premium for the quality.

AutumnNatural - Body Art (2)

Madam Ari (as she went locally) sighed - she loved the region this time of century, but she could never get over the heat and humidity that hung in the air - it just drained a gal, no matter how young she might feel.  And feeling drained....sometimes you just lost track of things - forget the simple things that were normally so easy to focus on.
