Discussion - Patreon Post Part 2

Overdue, but finally time for part 2 of my Patreon themed postings.  This is at least a week late, but I need to put the effort in to get it out before I post some more art.

This time we're going from N to Z, wrapping things up.  I've tried to give a little more background or info for each artist, but again you'd probably get a better feel for each from the other links I've provided.

Opik-Oort - DA - Primary focus on expansion and WG art - beautiful painted style - also previously commissioned.  Long form comics and individual pics.   Highly recommended.

Pink Diapers - DA - ABDL artist featured pretty often here.  Excellent, very recognizable style, great use of colors.  Has not posted very frequently on patreon - but donations are per-post - so you won't get hit.  If you want to support her, you could also pick up her current donation project.

Powerman2000 - DA - Another artist featured here pretty frequently.  Interesting style.  Does a lot of expansion themed pieces.  Patreon features more unedited versions of pics not always posted at DA, etc.  See also his Otakusquid site.

PrincessPottyPants - blog -  ABDL captions and short stories.  YMMV.  Captions per pic are getting a little long for easy visual reference but generally interesting.

Sketch Man - DA - More ABDL art in a manga style.  Excellent comic storylines and sketches.

Thomas - DA - Immortaltom!  Another very prolific artist who has grown in quality in leaps and bounds.  Posts many pics every month.  Lots of votes for content, etc.

Tracy Butler - DA - NOTE:  Tracy is not a TF artist, but her long-form comic Lackadaisy is amazing.  Highly recommended.

Val Salia - DA - (Comic home page).  Art is getting better - but the comic on the whole is amazing.  Extremely funny and an excellent mix of tones and dialogue in general with a very different TF theme and setting.  Highly recommended.  Note - currently sets donation per comic page (doesn't include sketches).

zdemian - DA - Instantly recognizable style and extremely prolific.  Multiple sketches and comic pages every week.  Excellent value and amazing artwork.  Note - almost every post is exclusive to patreon, not posted on DA.  See also their current donation project.

Zoe Crockett - DA - Cluedog! (or alternatively Smooch).  If you have ever viewed and appreciated the many, many sketches, sequences and pics cluedog has posted here and elsewhere, you can definitely support with at least a dollar a month.  Keeping in mind that she is posting new shrink and tg sequences regularly in addition to other original sketches.  Highly Recommended!

0pik-0ort - Baker's Dozen 6

"What did I tell you - the right ingredients and a little patience - and these sweeties will turn out perfectly.  I mean, would you just take a look at these - can you zoom in a little more?  Absolutely divine.  What's more, we've got enough for everyone in the audience to try one - believe me you don't want to miss out on one of these babies!"

"What?  Where'd they all go?"

"Well that cleared the studio faster than usual...I thought we'd have at least one fetishist left behind...ya know the ones you gotta get security to haul out....never can tell with some types.  Their loss....these things are great."

"And that's a wrap....who's up for lunch?  Chinese today?"

Lot of thunderstorms around here the last few days.

---------------------

"Like I was saying folks, these treats are nearly done.  And if you look closely, you can see them rising very nicely.  I know some people just talk about mixing things together and having it all come together.  Honestly, that might work for a few people - and every now and then you might get lucky - but let's face it - it really helps to measure out everything just right - these recipes are tried and true for a reason."

"That's the same reason I always use real sugar in my recipes - on the show and in my books.  There's just no substitute for the real thing.  Sure I prefer a little sweetener in my coffee - but when it comes to baking, real food, whathaveyou - it's about quality over quantity - even if it does add a few calories to the final product."

"Mmmm - this tastes amazing - but they're not quite done yet.  Looks like just a few more minutes before our first batch of goodies will be ready to take out.  Like I was just saying - a few snacks here and there are fine, but you've got to watch your intake if you want to keep a figure like mine."

"That's not to say that you're limited to making just a few of each item - half the fun of baking a lot of sweet treats is being able to share them with other folks - friends, coworkers, family members and so forth."

"Well, there go her pants.  At least we don't have to blur the image this time around."

"And we're back from our sponsored messages.  If you're just joining us now, this is our special spring baking episode - where I'm sharing some of my favorite baked goods and pastry treats.  Now obviously it's easy to get carried away when cooking these sorts of sweets.  A little licking the mixers here, a little leftover batter on this spoon and it's all - a second on the lips, a lifetime on the hips."

"At least that's what my mom always said - bless her heart - but it's certainly possible to whip up some amazing goodies and still keep your figure.  It just takes a bit more effort - a little extra time on the treadmill...but more than worth it if you ask me."

"People are always asking me - 'Trina - I don't understand how you stay so thin - especially eating the way you do on your show - what's your trick?' - and I always respond, 'I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.'  Just kidding, seriously...there's not really any secret.  I've been blessed with a great metabolism.  I mean....there might be a few other tricks up my sleeve - but who am I kidding - who'd want to cover up these arms?"

"Ok, now these muffins have been sitting and rising long enough - time to get them in the oven.  And we'll be back after these messages from our sponsors here at TR-I TV."

"And we're on in five, four, three, two......"

"Hi there everyone, and welcome to 'Cooking with Trina' - today's premiere cooking show.  I'm your hostess Trina and today we're all in for a real treat.  That's right, today is our spring baking special!  I don't know about you folks out there, but I couldn't be more excited...I mean sure we all love Christmas cookies and cakes and other snacks....but there's so much variety out there and today we'll be demonstrating a few of my favorite recipes."

"As always, 'Cooking with Trina' is sponsored by TransRepo Industries here on TR-I TV and to assist us in today's presentation, we have a new type of quick-rising flour developed by the eggheads upstairs.  I don't know about you, but I've been seeing some rave reviews about this stuff, and I'm really looking forward to testing it out today!"

"Should she be tasting the batter already?  They said this stuff was really fast-acting."

"Relax...I made sure they watered it down properly this time.  This episode will be perfect.  Trust me."

Field Trials Interim - Poll

So, we've reached the point where we handle the next poll - and it's up to you to decide which way we go with this.

Obviously we have the possibility of exposing Chief of Security Rhonda McCampbell to JY89BR or HE36YU (right and center characters respectively).  

However, looking at TransRepo Industries recent lines of testing, we have a few other options available:

Exposure to substance from Parallel D4E - no idea what specific effect it'll have on her but we have some previous indications.

Cosmetics Testing - it turns out that just as the Beauty Department is looking for a cheap, rapid means of producing high-grade ambergris, Custom Biologicals may have a solution (of sorts).

Agricultural Operations Support - multiple options available, leave a comment.

Agricultural Production Support - again multiple....if similar options :)

So please feel free to vote, leave feedback, etc.  If you can't see the poll, enable permissions for the site.

And please be ready to put your money where your mouth is on this project - the more donations, the more arts in the sequence!

0pik-0ort - Cooking With Trina 5

"And here we have our *buc buc* roasted turkey.....all done cooking in *bawk* three minutes!  And look how big and swollen and juicy it is!  *buckaw*!"

0pik-0ort - Cooking With Trina 4

"Oh my goodness!....I think I'm going to be sick!  Oooof!"

"Bleaacchaaaa.....aaaawk?!?"

0pik-0ort - Cooking With Trina 3

"It looks like our turkey is already plumping after just a few minutes inside the Roastmaster 3000.  This model should be in stores in time for your Christmas festivities next month.  In the meantime.....wow....it's really getting warm in here."

"I'd almost think I was getting hot flashes, but I'm not that old yet - am I right ladies?  Hey, no comments from the staff Jake!"

"Honestly, I might be coming down with something, maybe I just need some more water - but I'll be good through the rest of the show."

0pik-0ort - Cooking With Trina 2

"And we're back from our short commercial break - as always, our top sponsor here at "Cooking with Trina" is our network TR-I TV - and their parent company TransRepo Industries."

"Would you believe it...I completely forgot to start the oven before our little break.  As I said before, this is a slightly smaller turkey than we would normally use, so we won't need more than 30 minutes or so in the oven...particularly since we're fortunate to be able to demonstrate a brand new RoastMaster 3000 courtesy of TransRepo Industries.  With this baby, we're able to cook a lot more in a fraction of the time it would normally take."

"Excuse me while I take another drink of water - I must say - I'm feeling positively parched.  I think that basting sauce was a little saltier than I expected - and it certainly feels a little drier in here than normal...still, it's always best to stay well hydrated while in a hot kitchen."

0pik-0ort - Cooking With Trina 1

"Hi and welcome to this week's special episode of "Cooking with Trina" here on TR-I TV.  I'm your host Trina Kowalski and this is our annual Thanksgiving holiday prep episode."

"We've got a number of special dishes to demonstrate this hour, but we'll begin with everyone's favorite - the roast turkey - not least because it takes the longest to prepare.  For a special treat this year, we're demonstrating a new product by our sponsor TransRepo Industries.  As you can see, our sample turkey is considerably smaller than I would normally consider appropriate for serving a gathering of 8 to 10 adults, but as part of our special, we have a new basting recipe to sample.  Not only is this mixture expected to enhance the flavor significantly, but I've been informed that it should actually have some moisturizing qualities that may actually cause the turkey to swell a little during the cooking process."

"I should emphasize at this point that our new recipe will not be available in time for the holiday season this year, but is expected to be on store shelves by this time next year.  In the meantime, those of you at home can follow along as our cooking procedures should have no other differences in cook time or temperature for a similarly sized bird."

"And there, as you can see, I've applied a generous basting over the entire turkey in the pan - the leftover juices will collect in the bottom of the pan where they can be absorbed during the cooking process.  Hmmm, that is a nice flavor - maybe a little saltier than I would normally use, but given the amount of liquid and the generally bland nature of turkey meat, I think it will have the desired effect."

"We'll just set the timer and begin on the mashed potatoes."

0pik-0ort - Mmmm Pie! #5

I think we've really reached the part of this transformation where "epic" is the appropriate description...wouldn't you agree?

0pik-0ort - Mmmm Pie! #4

At this point...she might have to give up on finding the fork.  Alternatively, the fresh night air is wonderful for clearing out your sinuses.

0pik-0ort - Mmmm Pie! #3

The third installment.  Why is the furniture always the first thing to go?  Why?

0pik-0ort - Mmmm Pie! #2

One night closer to the haunting Halloween extravaganza.  I do love me some Pumpkin Pie...and thankfully 0pik-0ort is a fan too!

Honestly, I can't really fault the gal here...it's not like she's really pigging out on her 3rd pie or anything...must be something else.

0pik-0ort - Mmmm Pie! #1

Tonight marks the first night of Halloween week and what is intended to be a slew of original posts - including a number of artists never before featured on the site (most of whom are long overdue). 

(alright....to be totally honest, nearly all the new art will be going up on Friday night (when else?)) - but we've got some fun all week...and then as mentioned before...running into next week as well.

Starting off with a piece by 0pik-0ort - well...one pic a night ;p  I really love pumpkin pie.  Honestly...this year there seems to be an abundance of it - mini-pies at the grocery store (great for single servings), various coffee types, pumpkin pie poptarts, pumpkin cream hershey kisses, pumpkin cream/pumpkin pie donuts all over the place....'course next year I might be sick of them all...but honestly, right now I can't get enough of the stuff....(really need another pumpkin pie blizzard at DQ too - maybe this weekend).

Honestly...don't think I need too many tags on this one...but I'm sure we'll see some special ones pretty soon ;p  Shouldn't give away too much up front.
