u/NABIL-GO-AWAY

I've been doodling little headshots in-between classes to get a vibe for the respites I want to make for u/Michahyu 's fangame, so I decided to post some progress, yes yes. You should totally check the game out at https://michahyu.itch.io/papasdatingsim-afterhours !!

Will probably throw a zip file of the resprites somewhere here when I finish, and will expand as the game gets updated (how exciting!!!)

Also michahyu if you're reading this, I've been lurking through your game files but for the LIFE of me can't extract the images... so... uh... I *may* or may not need a gdrive or dropbox link to the image files. For resolution reasons. No pressure!!

Got permission to repost since they don't have reddit !!

I want to open up commissions that are RELATIVELY affordable for the sole reason of getting steam games and robux gift cards. With that in mind, would opening commissions with my artstyle be reasonable?

Secondly, would I have to pivot to digital art to sell, or would my typically traditional artstyle be alright? I've included two examples of my digital coloring style, but I do prefer pen on paper.

I do want to stress, I don't mind being underpaid so long as steam games or roblox gamepasses could be directly gifted to me. I just want to be able to pinpoint a price and a preferred medium! (Despite my STRONG preference towards traditional...) Thanks :)

tds reddit only upvotes pretty ladies so I must draw pretty ladies in order to sneak in my ox minigunner agenda

If I start drawing him like this will you guys stop bullying me 😢

I've discovered that we should all aspire to be like Ox Minigunner. In fact, we should all bask in the glory of Ox Minigunner. In the twenty three hours since I made my original post, I've been playing rounds solely with Ox Minigunner, and each time I win -- each time I fail, I feel like I'm growing closer to him. He whispers in my ear as he caresses my win-loss ratio, and tells me it'll be alright and that I'm doing amazing. He guides me to move my mouse in his optimal positions, he teaches me to ignore my matchmaking teammates' pings because they don't know him like I do, and he guides me as I glide pen over paper to recreate his image. I've abandoned the idea of my old crush and I've fully surrendered myself to Ox Minigunner. He needs me to keep him alive through playing his game, and I need him to make the nineteen hour grind sessions hurt less. Never could we be apart again... because together, we are Tee Dee Es.

I've been playing this game for around two months now, and had quite some fun learning about strategies, doing solo challenges, and whatever missions I find possible, but skins never stood out to me.

Most are cute girls in beautiful outfits, overly armored aura monsters, or... mediocre recolors. I mean, I like cute girls. I think the armor skins are cool, like the fallen ones, and recolors are easy to collect! But. An hour ago. After a long gem grind sesh, I switched crook boss out of my loadout to replace him with minigunner -- as I'd yet to level him up, and scrolled through the few skins I owned to spice things up.

There, between the greyed out locked icons, I saw Ox minigunner. I had never such a visceral reaction to something digital, let alone a roblox character of all things... but I didn't think a silly tower defence game was capable of this. Of this... niche. Whatever it could be called, I couldn't tell what I was feeling. The ears, the tail, the tight tank top... I would swear I'm straight if swearing meant anything anymore. Now all I can think about is a human version of Ox Minigunner leaning over my desk, calling me over to play TDS to see him again. I don't even own that skin. I want it. I want it so bad. I want him so bad.

I can't even call myself a man anymore. I can't even look at my school crush either. What does she have over Ox Minigunner? Does she have lustrous hair like he does? Amazing rippling pecs? The courage to stand against hoards of monsters while looking so beautiful? I might have tagged this as a 'meme' but this is no meme to me. It's the only way I can mask my love for this skin. Dear God.

Please TDS developers, make more skins like these. I don't even care about sexuality anymore, I just want to watch big beautiful men ravage my tower defence game. I want to flip open my laptop and see my roblox avatar surrounded by these guys. It's no longer "Reddit, am I gay?" It's "Reddit, I am gay."

Gay for Ox Minigunner.
