A good friend of mine started up some commission work. Go check em out 👍

A friend of mine made a game for the Get Large Jam. It's a neat little game so go check it out!

Here is a character reference for Bubby the owl boi biomancer with a rather bottom heavy figure. The patterning of the feathers was really tricky to get right. Took me a good few times of trial and error to land with something that worked. The wingtips were fun details to add.

And here is the 'next size up' for @redbow.bsky.social in their Hunt outfit. I asked if I should be 'realistic or absurd' on the design. Take a guess as to which one was picked. It was fun trying to figure out how the pose would even work in such a state. But it came out good I think.

Another Hunt PNG for @redbow.bsky.social this time of their dragon in an Angel of Death skin outfitted with a katana. Was fun turning the 'talk' sprite into an attack with the sword and I'd like to try my hand at incorporating that into more projects in the future.

How bout *two* pics that fit those tags? Here we have @redbow.bsky.social and @thornthekoshai.bsky.social in their undead Hunt forms that they asked me to make, entirely without *any* sense of desperation or expressing a need for urgency to have such things made for them. Hehe

Still needs some details added, but REALLY nice Rotjaw-esk PNGtuber by @heftytotem.bsky.social ! Been having a hard time avoiding fights in hunt...they keep chasing after me yelling about a bounty? I'm a hunter too you know! Just...slightly more undead than most

Here we have the PNGtuber model for Blu dood that has gone through some reworks to land at the cool design we have here. A mix of tight bodysuit, deadspace style gear, and a chubby little kobold that is going to get much, MUCH, fatter. Stay tuned.

Here is both a cameo in Donuts for Deer Teeth, and also another of the YCH options I was talking about. This one is for @firesoul10.bsky.social of her boobalicious fox. I really like drawing hands sinking into things like that. And really, who *wouldn't* want to grab those puppies?

And here is a very busty Ultimate Weapon Kwehtima for @onyxiacc.bsky.social sporting a lovely belly to match. It was fun seeing how much I could indent the straps on the breasts and the design was a pleasure to work with. This piece also why I started up more complex pixel art commissions!

Here is a pixel art piece of @thornthekoshai.bsky.social Thorn is a good friend and I was happy to have the chance to make some art of them for a change. Beaks and feathers are something I still struggle with drawing well so I always appreciate opportunities to improve like this. Hope you enjoy!

A *very* well endowed rubber skunk form of @redbow.bsky.social I made. This art piece marks the very first 'undeniably nsfw' piece I've ever made. So it's an important milestone for me as an artist. It is also the first of a set of YCH options that I'm hoping to set up for people in the near future.

And here is the Totem Herald for Blu dood. They loved the totem so much they chose to become an embodiment of it themselves. So here is their kobold ready to grant desires of those around them and make some big dreams come true. Or some kinky mischief, I'm not quite sure yet. Probably both.

Apparently people like my totem namesake so much that they wish to become one themselves. It's unexpected, but not unwelcome. This here is one for @redbow.bsky.social Hopefully I haven't started a cult or something by doing this. Oh well. People want neat stuff, so I make neat stuff for them.

My Kofi page is now sufficiently updated. Full illustration art is still on hold but everything else is properly set up for folks to order from! ko-fi.com/heftytotem Any and all support is greatly appreciated! I would not be where I am without people like you. From the bottom of my heart, Thank You.

Sorta fitting that I bring this news up today but, I was let go from my job this week. I'm ok for a while, but I am technically without an income now. I'm taking the chance to go full time artist now that I have the time. As well as making a kickstarter for a project I've been planning for a while.

This cameo for Sao is the last one I have on my list currently. The note I was left was 'Make the ass as big as possible'. And I tried. If I made the ass any bigger, it'd be a square. This is also the only character with front teeth like that. It was really fun exploring something new like that!

This cameo was definitely a learning experience. I've never drawn such big fatty cheeks before so it was interesting learning how exactly they work. It's also the only cameo overhead sprite to have 'fat locked blob arms' which was a neat detail to add. Overall, was quite fun to do!

The next cameo of Lay here for @mashterpotato.bsky.social had a request for an entire case of peach tea.... And some big assets. So who am I to refuse? It was interesting figuring out how to portray 'an entire case' in sprite form. Unusual requests are pretty fun.

The first post game launch cameo of @virik.bsky.social here. The big belly and all of that hair made this one an interesting one to do. I think I also managed to finally get flannels down good enough and I think this is the only cameo so far wearing ripped jorts.

And with that, I think that's enough posting for today. I'll try and post things more frequently moving forward. Thank you everyone for the wonderful artwork you allowed me to make. If anyone wishes to commission me here is my somewhat outdated kofi. ko-fi.com/heftytotem

And speaking of, Donuts For Deer Teeth has been fully released on both itch and Steam and I'm incredibly proud to have been a part. Thank you @posmnaut.bsky.social for letting me and for being such an impactful part of my life hypersoft.itch.io/donuts-for-d... store.steampowered.com/app/3638180/...

Last month, I took part in the Preggo Game Jam run by @preggopixels.bsky.social and I joined up with @tnot.bsky.social to create froggerest.itch.io/the-fertile-... It was quite the experience considering I was also simultaneously working a full time job and *ALSO* helping with Donuts for Deer Teeth!

This one was my personal entry into the Surrogate competition for Project Brood by @tnot.bsky.social For my entry, I decided to go all out with the creativity and created a multi dimensional symbiotic crystal snake with multiple snitties and venom gland sacks for eyes. Was a hell of a lot of fun!

Continuing the trend of Surrogate entries I assisted with is this one for Sundevil of Zavidra. She has *alot* of nipples. Like, all of them and she leaks everywhere. Unfortunately that might not be everyone's cup of tea so keep that in mind.

I took part in a Surrogate design contest for @tnot.bsky.social and their Project Brood Game. This is Xillia, the entry for @dracoflame11.bsky.social that I assisted in doing the art for.

And here is the very next PNG tuber I worked on and the single most complex piece of art I have ever produced. Guardian Arkbow for @redbow.bsky.social I learned SO MUCH creating this and loved every minute of it. And this one still has much bigger sizes to reach. Much. Bigger. Stay tuned.

And here we have the first PNG tuber I've ever drawn of Crowmi for @captain-kobold.bsky.social This was lovely to work on and is not even her final form! I haven't had the time to work on her larger, much more gravid sizes but I very much would like to!

And now for something a little less pixelated. This is a monster design I was asked to create for Gorgeworld for @phealgud.bsky.social This here is a Yoohoo who loves charging ahead and hugging whatever is in her way as much as she can. Unless of course she gets easily distracted by some food.

And to wrap up the deluge of cameos made so far, is my own. May I introduce you all to the Hefty Totem itself. The wood grain was incredibly difficult to nail down but it turned into something way beyond what I thought it could be. The cameo is actually in the game, but it's hidden. Can you find it?

And here we have a cameo for @bun-w.bsky.social of their characters Emily and Cowe from Happy Heifer Cafe and the 2nd ever cameo with more than one character. Getting the style down on this one was tough but it came out great. My favorite detail is actually the cowprint cup lid.

The cameo of @necrolorr.bsky.social is another where the talksprite was created before I entered the picture. This is one of my favorite overhead sprites however. I had a lot of fun cramming the boobs into the frame by having them hug the giant things.

Here we have Mizu @mizublackriver.bsky.social The talksprite was made before I joined up with the team and was actually used as an example for what the cameos would look like for the Kickstarter. I was actually requested to make the lip bigger on the overhead sprite and I'm glad I did. Looks nice.

The original cameo for @endm.ink I say original because, they actually had quite a significant modification done to them recently that I'll showcase later. If you ever run into them ingame, watch out. You might have an eye poked out with that thing.

The cameo for Vosyl here was a request and I really enjoyed drawing the hands. I've always had a soft spot for boxing types and getting the chance to draw one for the game was a real treat. Drawing someone who really doesn't look like they should be messed with was quite fun.

Next up is the cameo for @bigbeatdeer.bsky.social and I just love the 'I am absolutely done with this shit' expression. The part I had the most fun with was the skunk tail and ironically the hair was the hardest part of this piece. It shouldn't have been but it was for some inexplicable reason.

Now we get into some of the other cameo types starting with Tallo here who was the very first overhead sprite I drew, and at time of release, was the very last talksprite I made. I think it's a fun little secret bookend for the game.

This here isn't a cameo, but rather the Tutor NPC. We needed a character to explain a *certain mechanic* but didn't have anything in mind. So, I created this fellow entirely from scratch for the game. Dude doesn't even have a name but by jove does he have a purpose in life.

This is the second Kofi cameo I did of Argyle for @runawaykoulu.bsky.social The big guy really tested my skills to pull off but I got it done. For some reason I really like drawing hair and his beard and such here was pretty fun to draw all the little details of.

This is the first cameo we accepted through my Ko-Fi after the Kickstarter and Mia here is the second 'homosapien' in the game. I just love how her expression turned out and my favorite detail is the bloody knife. Even moreso since nobody ever comments on it, lol.

Here we have the last Kickstarter cameo for the game of Unicornrainbowcatz297 (Uni) and the only other cameo with glasses. Glasses which I had to mess with some alternate techniques to get made. My favorite detail is the colored bracelets.

Cameo for @infinitefluffderg.bsky.social of their three kobolds (trenchcoat not included) and were until recently the only multi character cameo in the game. The art was originally sketched out by them, but I cleaned it up, colored and finalized it. They were a fun group to do art of.

Sky for @skyward157.bsky.social The sleepy gaze, multiple overlapping elements, namely the ears, arms and wings, made for an interesting project. The 'titty push' and the candycane horns were my favorite parts to work on. Getting that curve on the horn colors was oddly tricky to get right.

This is K for @k-cloudchaser.bsky.social The one and only taur cameo in the game. This was my favorite to work on in general as it was a collab between me and @majatek.bsky.social for the overhead sprite. We had a ton of fun combining styles to make the currently biggest sprite in the game.

Cameo for ScarletDye and their very colorful character. Playing around with the more neon colors was interesting as well as the sheen on everything. My favorite details I worked on were the glowstick and fishnets. I even got them portrayed in the overhead sprite as well which I'm pretty proud of.

Juniper for @hatterthethird.bsky.social was a fun one. There's a big reference I used for the talksprite (any guesses as to what?). It was also one of the first overhead sprites I worked on to have an interaction with their ass. The monochrome coloring was fun and I enjoyed drawing the face.

The cameo for Pigbug here was interesting. I believe they were the first one to have a flannel pattern I needed to draw. As well as the first pig type and I had to figure out how to draw their nose which took more than a few tries to pin down if I'm being honest. Noses are hard!

The cameo for @potassiumpolice.bsky.social was the very first talksprite I ever worked on for the game. Bit of an intimidating one to start on but it was a lot of fun. My favorite detail is the sheen on the shoulder pads but was really tricky to get right. The over the shoulder jacket was also fun.

MattMcCat for @mattthetooncat.bsky.social It was fun drawing this cameo. I wasn't used to drawing such a cartoony character and the tongue was fun to add to the overhead sprite. The details on the turtleneck were interesting to play with. Oh, and yeah, they got some really bit tits too I guess.

Cameo for TheGamer www.furaffinity.net/user/thegamer They were the first cameo I drew that broke from the 'default' talksprite pose with the embarrassed glance. I was requested to have his hands be occupied trying to keep 'something at bay'.
