Current Youtube fetish:

UPDATE: Is the character of Moondai the drunken troll based on you?
The only thing I have in common with her is gender, my love of booze and my hatred of randomness and kids. That’s about it. Moon was my very first toon ever on W()W so I kept that tag once I started drawing the comic so my friends from her server would recognize me and it’s stuck (see T he official PENNAME faq for more

Where to find me:
in W()W as Terrapin and Suwali on Mandoran, Moondai on Farstriders, and as Whiteswan on Blackwater Raiders. NOTE: while Moon and Swan are on RP servers I don’t rp in game. No. Never. Nada. I’m only on there to support a friend who has a bunch of alts around. In online galleries I can be found on Hentaifoundry (As Moondai), Deviantart(as jekylnyde, jek-sketch, and hydestock), on DN, Worth1000 (as Moondai) and Fur Affinity (as Naughtyotsel). I am aware that some of my comics have been posted on other sites such as Aris Dies without my permission and as long as they’re not making money off of it that’s fine. If you do see my comics posted and it’s not me, go ahead and let me know. If I can’t make a few dollars offa this shit dammit nobody else should be able to either!! GRR!

How come the comic is so damn slooooow?!

Well lets see..I don’t hear from people, nobody donates to help me take a break to actually work on it…and lets see what else..oh yeah, I work full time, then I come home and continue to work on things to sell. If you want me to draw more comics faster LEAVE COMMENTS and maybe drop a dollar or two into my tip jar. And you should know that wile I’m slow compared to some joke a day web comics, I’m still a heck of a lot faster and the other mm0 erotic comic.

Why do you even bother with a plot or any character development? It’s just porn.
For me, random sex without a reason isn’t hot. I like some character traits and story with my pron. It’s how I roll. If you don’t want to read any of the setup or don’t care about plot or characters then read the comics from page 9 on and read things in the NSFW category. I encourage you to actually read the whole thing however as scenes will be hotter and possibly creepier if you do. I draw and write erotica with a plot so deal with it. There’s enough pointless porn out there; its time for a hentai comic with a little substance thanks.

Will you put my toon in the comic?

Most likely no. For the next five or six story arcs I have everything planned out. After that, maybe, possibly I might think about it. I don’t mind putting other people’s characters as background extras in various pages or as NPCS, just don’t expect them to be an actual comic character with speaking parts. I will put other people’s characters in written stories if they want to join in writing and in my future non-gank comics adding friend’s toons might be up for debate. Note that a few of the characters in the comic (Resi the angry paladin for one, Nymphia the priestess with the chicken, and quite a few other characters later) do belong to friends who helped me get through some tough times when my creativity well had dried up so they’re in there as thanks.

Are all of your plots based on ERPs or do you just make it up as you go along?
In general it’s a bit of both. Certain scenes/stories/settings are based on RPS along with a few characters but more or less everything else is just adlibbed and winging it as I go along.

Do you draw art for free?
Typically no, unless you give me an idea that tweaks my fancy, then I’ll probably draw something just to get it out of my head. That means if you’ve got a crazy story or situation or I talk to you a lot you might just get some free pics out of the deal.

What about art trades?
Of course, just don’t expect any high res color or inks. In general I give what I get so if you draw me some cool fanart pic in full color you’ll get one like it back.

Do you take commissions?
Oh yes! I’ll draw anything you damn well want for dirt cheap so let me know if you’re interested (gankme AT hotmail DOT com) or check out the commissions page for basic prices.

What do you use to create your work and how long does it take

pencils: red col-erase/check pens, black warrior pencils and ticonderoga pencils; some various sketch pencils
ink: Rapidograph pens (tech pins are the rock) or g-pen and crow quill dip pens
colors: photoshop, painter, rarely prizma marker or paint
paper:: sketch paper; commissions on linen cardstock or bristol
cg input: intuos 3d tablets (4×3 and 8×10)
cg programs: Photoshop CS3, Painter X, Micrographix

Depending on the page and the subject it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. I find that goofy extra comics and the set up pages go by quite quickly, sometimes I can do all the penciling and have it ready to scan in an hour or two. The actual hot pages take quite a bit longer because I don’t have much time to work on them and I tend to redraw stuff over and over again until I’m able to deal with it. I’m never happy with it but usually after 5 tries I get to the point where I just need to get it over with…
NOTE ABOUT BRIGHTNESS ISSUES: Most comics are tested on a calibrated broadcast ready screen. My spectrometer says they’re bright enough for the average screen but I find that on my home monitor they’re too dark. I’m not sure if I should up the brightness as they look fine on my work monitor so let me know how they look on other people’s comps.

May I use one of your characters and/or artwork for my RPG, Story, whatever?
Do whatever; this is a fan comic anyway. As for original characters not based on a particular game universe…well how about you make your own mmkay?

May I color some of your lineart?
Have at it, have fun, leave a link. I’d rather you buy a colored pic from me but if you must…go right on ahead.

Will you send me naked pictures/cyber with me/etc?

Hows about no. Erp is up to debate if I find you interesting enough but stop asking for the naked pictures plz..it gets annoying after the 100th damn time. There are hotter porn whores online to look at. Doesn’t mean you can’t ask, but expect a possibly sarcastic answer.

ahh this site is kool and about your iFAQ in my opinion most guys ask because they find the idea of a normal girl stripping for them rather then some generic whore thats too perfect and is famous for publicly viewed sex :| i prefer idealistic beauty quite honestly

I only have one question for you, do you masturbate to your own porn?
