Explanation for the k1nky PostIt sketch on cohost

So, yeah. Why did I decide to draw Sonic Human mpreg then? I don't know, really. I was watching a longplay of Sonic & Knuckles, I had a pad of PostIts sitting on my Fantom X, a sharp pencil behind my ear, and a lot of time to kill as Knuckles was collecting blue spheres. Rather than drawing another Ross girl, I decided I wanted more of a challenge. I tend to draw very static postures, just because it's been so long since I've drawn anything and I wanted to get faces right first, before I leapt into dynamic posing. But, it was time to change that. I'd had a random thought earlier in the day about Sonic the Human, but I didn't want to draw running or jumping. I scrolled through various possibilities in my head and arrived at "pregnant". So, all things considered...

I drew this.

It looks a bit messy, but consider that the original drawing doesn't even come out to 3 inches square. But, it did what I wanted it to do—provided me with a challenging posture to draw. Before I could draw this, I needed to draw a stick-figure model so I could decide on a realistic pose without needing to spend half me life erasing stuff. And it is dynamic! Beyond just being horny, I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. A couple things need polishing, like the hemline and deformation folds on his shirt and the positioning of his stretch-marks, but the pose is what I was most concerned with. It genuinely does look like he's struggling with being pregnant.

Story-wise, I don't know much. I'm not sure who knocked him up, but late-stage pregnancy is doing wonders for his jogger thighs, isn't it?

I guess, it's like writing Looney Tunes Show yaoi. It's the perfect subject because I really don't have an emotional investment in the source material. I like the franchise just fine, but I never had a Sega console or any real interest in Sonic the Hedgehog games until fairly recently, so my choice to draw this was informed as much by whether I was going to hate myself for it later, as much as it was by the fact that I was watching a Sonic game being played.

Apart from that, this also made me realise why there's so much hentai and other miscellaneous NSFW stuff in people's portfolios: it's great practise. Sure there are people who specialise in porny art, but it's fun to do, lets you practise drawing hair, drawing anatomy, drawing postures, and working out how gravity affects boobs, bellies, and body fat; plus it turns you on, right, doesn't it? This was the first time I'd drawn anything explicitly kinky, because I was always... well, for lack of a better word, afraid. I had this sort of weird block in my brain that prevented me drawing kink or porn or whatever you want to call it; I was always worried about how it would turn out. Would I make a mistake and ruin the composition? Would it turn out exactly like my fantasies or would I miss the mark and ruin everything? Drawing a character I didn't really care too much about let me overcome all of that without sacrificing anything. Also, there's the more practical bit where you don't need to dump 4 gallons of heatsink water into the uncanny valley generative AI anymore if you can draw your own fantasies. I should point out, I didn't jill off to my drawing. I didn't need to, because my brain was taking me places I didn't need pictures. But yes, I did have to shut my door and window after I was done drawing it. That's all I'm going to say.

Anyway, draw your kinks, girls, okay? It's healthy for you.
