"well if it's not androgynous what should a nonbinary person look like??" ***EXTREMELY LOUD BUZZER SOUND*** WRONG!!!! YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG!!!!!!! NOBODY "SHOULD" ANYTHING!!!! THAT IS NOT WHAT QUEERNESS IS ABOUT!!!!! GO TO THE CALM DOWN CORNER AND THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU'VE JUST SAID.

Oh so your zone is way different than mine huh. It’s 4p and my body bout ready to zonk for a nap after 45 flustered minutes. My partner had a grip on me lol. Thankfully she didn’t pull the kryptonite card (I’d be giggling my ass off from a fuzzy tummy)

I’m on eastern US time zone, i just sleep weird!

[nikki-tine]

First Anniversary! 🍷

.

Today marks one year since I created the Tickle Monster, so I wanted to make this detail about it. ✨

Maybe some may see it unnecessary, but if I'm honest, if I hadn't had the reception this gentleman had, I wouldn't even be drawing today, So thank you very much <3

*ears perk* eheh

Good luck with that. I’ve developed slight immunity to my tail. How’d you think I was able to wrap it around my torso? Also conveniently wrapped so not a hand gets to my puppy tummy. What you gonna do now, hmmm~? Maybe I should aim at yours first~

-🐺♠️

With your arms held up? Good luck going after my belly!

Aight, so this is a little tricky… I don’t normally put in this much effort and most of the time I tend to just give in when it’s constantly evident I can’t find something fruitful (It kills any motivation for me, and because I’m not competitive… :c)

Either way, I’ll try a different approach - tie you by the wrists and ankles, make sure that tail is immobile by tying that, too… and then, let’s squeeze those hips and behind the knees right quick. I wonder…~

[nikki-tine]

Bro, I don't know about you, but I don't see snort laughing often, and I snort laugh so much. So it would be so cute to see some more

Snort laughs are so cute!! A lot of my friends laugh this way, and it just melts my heart! I agree, we don't see it enough.

Personally, I rarely ever snort, but it does happen from time to time... x3

Poipole is really just the tickle monster Pokémon let's be fr.

[nikki-tine]

Not me trying to start a war lol

Snrrk :3

[nikki-tine]

How can you get to my torso if my tail is wrapped around it, hm~? And I can easily hide my neck in a fluff of fur. What you gonna do now pretty boy? All my defenses are up. And I’ve been wanting to give these claws something to grab onto. Your move

-🐺♠️

*Rolls neck!*

Oh, I see! What a little troublemaker!~

Maybe I should aim for that tail, instead… to run my hand through it, scritch at it, and hold it up against your belly to make the tip of it brush, and tickle… hmm.~

I also may or may not be aiming for those ears, too. Cootchie cootchie coo!~

[nikki-tine]

Can handle a-anything. 25 digits is nothing

(Don’t mind the tail around my waist tho)

Oh? So 25 digits is nothing, then?

Well, your funeral if it proves otherwise. Don’t mind me, I miiiight just scribble my fingers - all 25, with the 5 holding you back from escaping - aaaall along your sides, belly, ribs and armpits. I might even move one of those hands to your neck, for good measure…~ >:3

[nikki-tine]

XD the way they flustered the power couple. Casper looks like a strawberry. Also seriously. The way the dudes talking, I’m bout ready to take it as a challenge. 25 fingers won’t stop me

(Why am I so competitive)

-🐺♠️

Yeah, yeah, tell that to the 25 looming, wiggling digits and the five holding one of your arms back :3

A quick reminder that comms are still open! I got three slots open.

Pretty hastily slapped together, but here's a comm sheet for those who were wondering about the prices in my pinned post! I'm a little nervous about taking comms from social media again, but I'm open to it as my family needs the money so often now...

More recently, I've taken to working on iPad - this will be a more common thing as the summer months roll around and it becomes too stuffy to stick to my PC for working on art.

Here's what I CAN do, for the moment:

Cute, simple designs - Pokemon and simple (rookie-level or earlier) Digimon are a strong suit of mine, but if you have a wonderfully simple OC I can work with too then it'll do!

Cats. I loooove drawin' cats! If you have a Warriors OC, chances are I can draw em.

Fluffy stuff overall! (As long as it's simple enough, obviously - Fluff is another comfort thing I looove to work with. This means literal fluffy stuff like fuzzy animals/critters, and figurative fluff like cuddles and tickles!)

Sans!! (No seriously, I funkin love drawin' sans. If you got a Sans I can draw, I will happily draw him!)

Here's what I CAN'T do, for the moment, on the other hand:

NSFW art (This is because a) there's minors who follow this blog - I have to keep that stuff away (and keep them safe)! and b) I'm not ready to take NSFW commissions, and probably won't be a for a while.)

Heavy gore and themes (It's a lot to work with, and it's not something I personally dabble in if at all, so the result would NOT be to your liking if I tried more than likely lol)

Intricate Detail (I have my reasons for this! My wrist has been acting up more often in the last few years and so intricate detail is... overwhelming for me, right now, outside of personal work. It's just not a strong suit of mine, as much as I'd love it to be - it's not quite a part of the art style as it is right now.)

Added notes:

- I have the right to decline a commission if it either makes me uncomfortable to work with it or otherwise is overwhelming. That is to say, if one artist can't achieve what you're looking for then usually that's an indicator to hold onto your money for a bit until you find the right person!

I send the paypal link at the halfway point (the sketch, just before lineart) normally - but if you want to pay upfront, then please let me know. (I don't wait until the piece is completely done as a safety measure to ensure the person commissioning me doesn't nab the piece and run lol)

I CANNOT REFUND ONCE THE COMMISSION IS PAID FOR. The money goes STRAIGHT into family-related necessities like bills and groceries, and I absolutely CANNOT afford to return money when we are consistently struggling to even get food for the house, nevermind commissions. (It's also just kinda mean?? :c)

I am on commission burnout - what this means is that my work may take longer than usual to get done, but I hold to my word that I get it done no matter how long it takes. If you need the piece done as priority, then make sure you specify when giving the details for your commission! (I do best, however without a time limit or deadline to work with.)

As of right now, I'm practically (metaphorically) crying for simple designs due to this burnout! I need something I can just fly through to get done so I don't stress myself out further on a queue that's been waiting to be done for a hot second.

[nikki-tine]

Well, Casper? Would you like to?

How would you like a full set of 25 digits tickling you? What about at that lovely back-up of yours that you've so graciously mentioned, too, while we're at it?~

I've got three pairs of arms, and they're itching to scribble at somebody.~

/lh /t /playful

(Before I realized it, I full-assed the sketch. oops?)

[nikki-tine]

could you draw one of your fav t-word senarios?

there was a lot of scenarios I like so it was hard to choose but I rlly like this one a lot!! >:)

[nikki-tine]

Yes the ask after Casper’s was mine hehehe

‘‘Twas me all along
