Well, I have done this for a while. I have been submitting OC imagery that I DO own (my own cast - Lyne being the odd exception from a few years back.) Kikasit'su, Amanda, Jessica, and Tator Tot (my first Pony OC) being a few of hopefully many more in times to come. 

Other OCs that I would like to introduce would be the rest of the Gretchen household, some of my older OC's like Sheriz, Kikasit'su's FORMER nemesis (Gunmaku), Judge, and others - hence why I was checking out artist profiles and seeing what styles compliment whom. I will admit, not all artists will fulfill the job - so I am thinking: "Artist X is right for Character Y." 

Who does massive Werewolf like characters, who does massive, big breasted Giantesses? Who does impressive, and unstoppable handsome Giants? Who has the mind TWISTED enough to fulfill a portrait of pure evil - in blonde hair, blue eyes, and wearing Prada? That is who I ask about, that is where I do my search, and that is what I plan to submit in time. I am NOT (by any means) an artist, I only commission the works, however, the characters I do submit ARE MINE to work with. 

Jessica's debut has been a great raving amongst those that love the art style - and the very innocence that is brought to life by the talented :iconsugarnhoney:.

I get it. Really, I do.

However, I am NOT made of money here, and it will take time for me to get my characters into being. However, another talented artist - a certain British youngster by the name of :icongamesquid: will be presenting to you ANOTHER of my Pony OC's into creation. 

Inspired by the amazing :iconstarlight-dazzle: and flourished to life with the help of :iconchimcharlover13: This beautiful Pony wants - NO... DEMANDS that you look at her direction, and praise her for who she is. If she looms above your town, don't think about running away from her - for she is NOT above stomping entire towns, or sitting on them! She is a DIVA, but don't ever insult her graceful ways... and if she likes you (that is a BIG "IF", then you will be treated with respect as equals.) 

BUT... if you have aspirations to being a Giant or a Giantess (Mare or Stallion, etc...) Then by all means fulfill your idea to her, and she will grant your wish. Feel free to be larger than her - JUUUUUUUST, don't push your luck with her~.

Also... if this is your first time, one warning: DO. NOT. TAKE. HER NAME. IN VAIN!! EVER!!! :ohnoes: :nirvana: :? 

Mares and Gentlecolts - the new OC that I plan to introduce to the masses - she is the ever-amazing, beautiful, and most spectacular of them all... she is LUMINESCENCE!! 

(Coming Soon.)

A while ago, I have noted a descending opinion on my OC Jessica.

Now, before I start raising myself to a defense position, and brace for impact, i wish to to address what this opinion was about in a more reflective fashion.

A while ago, the opinion of someone came to my attention, as he described my character to be a "Mary Sue." For those of you that don't know what a Mary Sue is (or a Gary Stu for the male gender), it is a character that has EVERYTHING a character could want or need for the sake of wanting or needing such a thing. 

Is the character perfect... too perfect?

Is the character the sudden attention grabber to the main character in your story?

Is the character one without flaws (personality or otherwise?)

Is the character one without challenge (personal or otherwise?) etc. You know her this is going.


I have spoken back to the person about this, and he did bring in a noteworthy response that had be thinking - I MAAAAAAAY have jumped the shark when I made her in description. (Yeah... I'm going to admit that, and I will get it out of my system.) I will NOT hold this opinion against them, but he was RIGHT. In a way, the way how I described her - kind of bent her to a "Mary Sue" trope, and I feel like I should try to ween her down a bit. (Which contradicts mt previous matter of depowering her and the like - BUT I shall address that as well in the journal entry by what I mean with this.)


In my description, I had addressed my OC as "The Ultimate Macro Fantasy" and - I really should have carefully considered those words more thoughtfully. In my haste and delight, I ran a race that I didn't knew existed, and WON - by mistake (basically throwing out hopefuls of winning such a race. Right Analogy? o.o)

Any who, the premise is: I MESSED UP on this. Yeah, I fudged this up, and I feel like I should think of ways to carefully balance her out. See, I LOVE the Omni-Macro fantasy (basically, women that wish to become Gigantic - shouldn't have limitations to their size.) But... what about... TASTES? Personality... looks... etc? In a way, I created her to be MY ideal girl, but I'll be honest about this - I should have done my research, and recalled something called "opinion." Not everyone likes redheads with freckles and a huge bust. 

(I do.)

Not everyone likes the idea of endless growth, size, or expansion...

(I do.)

Not everyone likes their girls t be cheery and light-hearted when it comes to being amazingly powerful in size and scale. (Some like them evil.)

(Well... grant it, I do like my share of evil Giantesses, I'll admit - BUT I DO like my girls to also be cheery, fun, and light-hearted.) 

Where I'm going with this is simple: I should have considered my description of her. I like that people have enjoyed her debut, and would like to see more of her, but I should actively try to find a way to ween her off her initial phase of a "Mary Sue." cause the last thing I wish for me to be titled as... IS such. 

I did damage to her initially, and I apologize for this - so, hopefully, in the future, I could find a way that I could fix or ween the image a bit here and there (without completely crushing what makes her who she is.) A start should be on her description first. Maybe I could turn that as something SHE says or describes herself as, instead of having ME (her creator) and basically disillusioning myself that I had created perfection. (Which I didn't.)

My Jessica may be powerful, and beautiful - but she's FAR from perfect, and it should reflect that. She has fears, she has likes, she can get angry, she can be helpful... she does... scare kids when they see a massive Giant Teen. It's the small things that we overlook as creators, and the idea of "Mary Sues" and "Gary Stus" are one danger - many of us should try to avoid. Sometimes it can't be helped initially, but it does help if you can address the problem one step at a time.

I may sound like I'm a condescending douche for speaking about this - but I am honest about this. I won't raise hell to the one that decided to put a mirror in my face, in fact - I shall thank him for saying such. It teaches me that I should explore more of her character before I do thing outwardly without a care. Mary Sues and Gary Stus are the LAST thing I want in my line-up of characters, but it does pay to LEARN from one, so this way, you (or in my case - I) can learn from the mistakes of their creative pasts. It's a small mistake that can have HUGE implications if I don't correct them in the future. 

Not many people that get phased into reality say this, but... 

I thank you for your opinion :icontokotiger:

I won't raise hell, nor will I ask for people to raise pitchforks, torches, and your lynching. You did provide me with an HONEST opinion, and a great lesson to learn all over again. 

It tells me that I should think better of my characters, before I send them out there to the world outside. (*I however DO apologize for two things: 1) Mischaracterizing the name of your OC. Really, Cut-and-Paste, even on an iPod, is a true friend. and 2) ... Those... SOUR exchanges you have with people quite often. Yeesh.)

It's been THIS long since I came into posting a commissioned pic from a talented artist by: :iconsugarnhoney: and almost overnight, my Jessica has become quite popular. 

37...

As of this posting - it was 37 of you folks that have favored the debut of my OC, Jessica. Even though I had RP'ing her, fleshing her character out, and building the Ultimate Growth fantasy come to life - I wanted to make sure that the right artist came through with the chops to pull off such a wonderful display. 

Searching prices, artists, and many - MANY Galleries, I found myself (by chance) with Sugar's gallery, and I was excited to see what she could work with. She had great talent, a fair price (for commissions), and a spectacular array of poses, arrangements, and other variables that made me want to get a spot for her commission. THAT was in September. OCTOBER - I funded the commission to Sugar, and after a bit of fiddling with Paypal, we got to get the commission going. PLENTY of patience later - she was ready to work on my Jessica. 

From my description, she noted that (and I'm paraphrasing here) "it will be FUN working the commission out." 

I FEEL in LOVE with the original rough sketch she brought me. Then when I told her to go ahead with the full version - I was FLOORED by what she had given me in return. 

I couldn't have imagined her better. She was PERFECT. There was that hint of innocence in her smile, the eyes that shined brightly, and the LOVE of Growth that she was known for (to me anyway) - ALL in the image itself. 

It WILL be difficult for me to know what I'm going to do next - who will I commission, or what I will commission them for. But know this: when I commission something, I do expect the best from the artist - in return, I will give them the proper respect, their space, and their time to handling my character creations. 

But NO, REALLY... I have NO idea where it is I should go next. XD 

I do have a gift for another friend that I promised (A Giant Marisa from Touhou Project) still in the books... But as the other commissions? I have a "Portrait" of my Original OC Sheriz in mind still, The Gretchen Family to bring in (The mom is out now, but I will Redux her.) And possibly... who knows. 

However, if you are wondering that will be it for Jessica - THINK AGAIN. XD I have THREE more forms that I need to make: Young Jessica (Age 8), Adult Jessica (Age 25), and GODDESS Jessica... (Boy, THAT ONE will be taxing... But I shall do her last.) 

Let me know what you all think about my plans. I still do have my references for Artists (in the journal I posted before), so I will get to that sooner or later.


Nod Nod Now if only I can fix my Paypal problem...

For a while now, I have been working on a character that I was more than certain will be the ULTIMATE in Growth Fantasy~. Oh yes... the greatest. You will see her debut here on FA.

So, why am I speaking of this? This will be turned into a GIFT for a dear friend of mine. A playmat for a friend - 24 x 14 in size, and all in rich color for my friend to enjoy. BUT - you will get to know her soon enough. 

So... what does she LOOK like? Can you at LEAST tell US that? 

Sure - I'll let your imagination toy with it: 

She's a young teen (about 18), youthful, spunky, and a very smart teen. She has red hair in pigtails, freckles, HUGE breasts, gorgeous curves, and a OBSESSION that dwarfs almost - oh who the hell am I kidding? Her Obsession of GROWTH ALONE will dwarf UNIVERSES!! (But for now... just a small, smidgen taste of her power will do. Just a SMIIIIIIIIIIIIDGEN~.)  

Oh - appearance - right. She has Green eyes, a beautiful smile, and can't be seen without her trademark white T-shirt, Overalls and sneakers. However, in this pic, she will be a Giant NUDE Teen Goddess. XD 

So everyone... prepare to BOW before your new Goddess soon: Jessica!! 

The second youngest of 3 siblings - and daughter to Amanda (

Mature Content

A Giantess in Chic Couture (Edited) by Foule
) and Tanner (*To be determined.*) Her siblings are Tamara (The Oldest/To be determined), and Timothy (The youngest son/to be determined.) You will soon meet - the Gretchen Family. XD

I know this may sound strange for me to post here, but here's the ups: 

I am looking for an artist to commission.

Yep. That simple. 

I know there are MANY artists that want commissions for order, but here's the thing: I am looking for an artist that has a polished style, more in a Manga-style more than anything. If a more realistic approach is warranted, then by all means, he/she shouldn't be concerned with making sexy poses, and gorgeous curves a must. 

I know I don't have the money right now, but I am collecting the money to send this commission in mind. 

Why is this? 

Simple: I want to give a GIFT for a friend of mine that I have come to know, and I am bent on giving this gift. The image that i wish to commission is one of an OC of mine (sorry, no reference sheet.) Her name is Jessica, and she is a lover of growth - VERY OBSESSED lover at that. She has long pigtails, red hair, green eyes, and wears a white shirt, overalls, and sneakers. (Yes, she has freckles, since she is a Ginger child.) 

The image that I have in mind is of her being what she is best: A Goddess-scaled teenager. 

The criteria that I am looking for is simple: An artist that has a professional polish (Manga-style), does Omni-Scaled growth (perhaps Planetary-size at least?), and has a fair price for his/her commissions. And when I say fair, I mean fair - somewhere around $100+ for character, and Background - with color. 

Any suggestions for this kind of criteria being met is most appreciated. Afterward, I will collect the money needed for the price, and I will submit the description for the desired commission afterward.

IMPORTANT: The artist in question HAS to specialize in Giantess Growth (at LEAST Planetary Scale!) XD 

Thank you, I most appreciate this. 


(*UPDATE): It has been a while since I had left this offer unto this journal. Like the 8 circles of hell, I have seen many a beast - both great and small, arrive here, and try to put their money in the hat. I really find myself amazed as to how many talents, both starting and professional in their approach, would come after me - one after another, with their offers. 

Truly grateful since the day of this first post. I had found my first commission artist that had a soft budget, but quality work to her name a while back - just moments before putting this journal public. Her name is

:iconsugarnhoney: 

And from the work quality she does, I knew that she was the right artist to start things off with. Never fear, this doesn't mean that I am committed to ONE artist. I do have other characters that complement other's styles on here. Each artist that tossed their name into my hat, certainly had a style that could compliment some of my OC's far and wide. 

My OC, Jessica, will be the first to many commissions ahead. However, in doing so, I run into one nagging problem: PAY. PAL. It seems that many people go nuts with accepting Paypal as their primary source of transaction. Here's a problem that I have with that service: I DON'T have a verified account, and thus, money will soon run out - when it comes to me loading said account (Unless I add in a debit card *serviced by them* or link bank account to them.) To which I say... "I don't have a job at the moment." 

Until I am able to secure myself some form of established work (part or full-time work), I won't be able to work with Paypal for very long. I have searched for alternatives to Paypal in this while, but since not many will seek these alternatives, well... I suppose I'll only be on borrowed account, UNTIL I can verify my account with Paypal. 

Until then, I will continue to seek artists that I can commission - quality or starter-ups, in order to help create and expand upon my characters. Good thing too, cause BOY... there were A LOT of you that wanted to toss your names into that hat. So many choices. 

I did promise :iconnutkun7993: something Marisa-related, and I intend on keeping that promise of mine. HMMM... still thinking how I could make it pop out though. I do have some ideas... XD 


Until THEN - I will wait, bide my time, hopefully get a job... and we'll see where I go from here. 

In the meantime, I do have other commissioned characters to work upon. Another Tator Tot commission, perhaps another Kisaki image - then I have Tanner and Amanda... Then... (*Gulp) My OC... Sheriz... amongst others. Until then, just wait for me (half-way there, and I'll spot ya. Commission you then when I have the money (and hopefully, work out kinks; IF you live in Europe that is.)
