Ahhh...

Nothing quite like relaxing after waiting for three days to do so.

In case you don't know yet, my vore site is finally up! Head down to my homepage (http://darkraptor1.tripod.com), head to the news section, and click on the link. Over ten snake pictures await your eyes!

My mind is swirling with new stuff I want to do. I need to finish up a story for Wrappers delight, i've got my first packaged story in mind (complete with silver latex and lots of leather straps), and my latest mummy story has been posted at Gromets plaza. Quite a lot of stuff in one day!

Gearing up...

I've gathered all my hand-drawn snake sketches to get posted to the new snake section this week. I got several manips done last night, and i'm hoping to do a few more this afternoon. I'm thinking there will be a good chance of the new section opening up this week. I sure hope so.

The first commisioned piece is done.

That picture I talked about (the commision of my raptor charachter mummified) is now complete. I was very pleased with the end result! Here's a link to the non-colored picture. I'm probably going to post the colored version on my site under a new section about me.

Here's the picture in black and white.

Looking at this picture though, it makes me think. Why do I like people or things mummified? Why is it that in stories when someone says "Hope you like being mummified!" (or something like that) I get really excited? Maybe its the prospect of being preserved and becoming a thing of beauty for others to see. Or maybe it's just the fact that I like being bundled up head to toe. I feel...safe, warm, secure. It's a comfort thing. When i'm wrapped up (Which is rare), I do feel safe and secure, as if my wrappings have become a second skin that nobody can penetrate. It feels good.

It isin't too bad...

...to create snake vore manips. Did my first batch yesterday, and got about seven done. I think they've turned out rather well, though digitally removing rat tails is very tricky. With luck on my side, I can hopefully launch the seperate vore site next week. No promises though. Things can change very quickly.

Getting a large bag...

...of new photos to work on! I'm currently hunting down a large variety bag of photos to work on, including orcas, sharks, seals, elephants, and...snakes! Looking forward to working on those today, after I work some more on my latest mummy story.

Still working...

I've transferred all the hippo and elephant pictures over to thier new home. The lineups are identical to the ones currently up, but the text is a little bigger. No big deal though.

I've gotten permission to use three really good snake swallowing pictures from a yahoo group. I'm looking forward to posting those!

Hand-drawn snakes are still being worked on. I'm going to try and sketch another one later on today, if I can find the time to do so.

The snakes are coming!

As readers of my vore site know, i'm coming out with a new section that's been requested from some readers. Snakes! Except, it's not going to be what you expect. What do I mean? Stay tuned...

A really good artist is doing a request from me...

I can't believe my luck! One of my favorite vore illustrators (who's a big name in the vore community) is doing a request piece for me! *girl shriek of joy*. So who is it? That's a secret for now, but I assure you that this artist is very good at what (s)he does. I can't wait to see what comes out of this!

I've submitted "The curse of Anubis" to grometsplaza, so expect to see it within a month or so. Currently working on a sequel to an unpublished story, then i'm going to write a story for wrappers delight. The idea he's given me should make for a very interesting piece!

Story is almost complete

The result of the colaboration between me and Wrappers delight is just about finished. The story "The Curse of Anubis" is about to be submitted to Gromets plaza for posting. The editing has been completed, and looking at the end result, i'm very satisfied with it. It should hopefully be up on the site within a month. That is, if everything goes well.

In other news, i've gotten about six new orca pictures completed. Look for them (along with a new Ironfish pic) sometime this week.

I've finally updated my mud site! Man that took forever to just getting around to doing one. Sorry to anybody who wanted new pictures for the long wait.

Ever had a commisioned picture done?

Because you get this warm glowy feeling in your belly when you get a look at the picture being drawn. I'm currently working with Wrappers Delight in getting a story up on Gromets plaza called "The curse of Anubis". He's wanted to do the story for years, and we eventually started talking to each other via E-mail. I offered to write the story, some things were said, and then he offered to do a picture of my online charachter (The jurrasic park 3 velociraptor). So a deal was struck. I wrote the story (Which I completed last night, a whopping twelve pages), and he's currently doing the picture.

He sent me a sketch this morning of how it was coming along, and all I can say is...wow. I asked him to mummify my raptor (I'm a big fan of mummification) and it is very interesting to see the result. It's not colored yet, so it still has a small way to go, but I think its amazing. I can't show it yet, but I will post it on my site when it's finished. I think it looks great. And Wrapper said that he has three other stories that he has in mind. Perhaps we're going to do a trade, three stories for three pictures? *Big grin*.

Oh yeah, I've gotten a new picture from Ironfish to post on the vore site next week. It looks great!

More pictures, and two new stories

I'm going to work on some pictures this afternoon (all orca by the way), and hopefully I'll have some done for tommorow, if my luck holds out.

Two of my stories have been posted at Gromets plaza. The first one, "Who wants a new life" can be found here.

The second one, "Drider" can be found here.

More stories are on the way.
