Cinnasticks AMA - part 3

Got a ton of great questions! Let's dive right in.

I remember this exactly. As a kid with access to the internet and interest in anime, I started going down the rabbit hole of looking up what normal adolescent kids would look up, "big boobed anime girls" "animes with girls with big boobs" etc. I ended up stumbling upon Jungle de Ikou!'s character Mii:

I dunno if you can see why I gravitated toward her :v. Anyways, I started looking up different versions of her, and I found a pencil sketch drawing of her, bust up, by the artist Oji Ryojoji, but she was massive, fattened, her cheeks were all bubbly and puffy, her arms were large and puffy, her breasts were barely contained, she had a thick double chin and this most adorable smile. It was like a switch went off, lighting through my body and I was like.... "oh, so this is what I like now." I then reviewed more of his work and I just became enamored with it: another one that lived rent free in my head:

From there I discovered Ghouly, then the artist eventually known as S.Sakurai (they went by a different monicker at the time) with their natrix and porkydex, etc. Eventually I discovered the long since defunct stuffedonline, was in as many yahoo! groups as possible like expanding horizons etc. And ended up following Mark-o-morphs back when they still had a website.

I didn't actually start out, exactly, as a weight gain lover though. I was more into stuffing, greed and gluttony. That then kinda shifted around to other tangential fetishes until eventually realizing I not only like stuffing but I also love the consequences that come from it. And that eventually led me to where we are today.

I did mention this briefly in part 1, but really, I wanted a way to interact with you guys! I was making content, making posts, and I'd get some likes and I'd get subscribers, but I never had any interaction. And being the socially starved artist I am, I came up with the idea of doing a free weight gain drive where different interactions caused different effects. Also, when I started doing it, I didn't initially intend on sharing the comments like I did, but then I was like "what if this is like a live streamed thing. And the commenters are actually the chat." And thus, the format of NDU was born! So now, if you interact, then we get to see the changes to the character, if you comment, you also, likely, get your comment showcased in Chat and possibly answered by the characters! But yea, basically, I wanted to get more comments and interaction from you :).

Pie, specifically, cold key lime pie. But if is a cake, I like butter cake or vanilla.

at least right now, you've probably already seen it in past images, unless I move to blender and do more specialized sculpting and morphing. In DAZ, its fairly limited, I can't easily fix clipping in models, the models are pretty low-poly (and when I add in subdivision its not baked, its just a modifier that doesn't actually change the geometry), and the soft-body simulations aren't that great. Some of the issues I can fix in photoshop, but there are others that just look plain bad :v.

This year's will have mostly everybody, it'll have the largest cast yet. So please keep in mind that it may take a little longer between images :v

Decline a commission? Hmm, I believe so, but it was mainly because the scope was just too far beyond what I could do at the price they wanted. But for the most part, I'm pretty amenable to most commissions. All I ask is that once we figure out what that commission will be, we don't deviate from the scope, otherwise I may have to decline at that point.

Abandon an idea? Oh ALL THE TIME. I've had lots of ideas where the execution just doesn't work, or I can't get the screen to look like whats in my head, etc. I used to share those failures, but that's definitely happened.

As primary feeder of the NDU?

No.

Fiona, while being the catalyst that introduced eClaire into feederism and starting her down her spiral, isn't EXACTLY a feeder. She doesn't get off on the feeding portion of the relationship. She's really got a control and power fetish, and she uses feederism as the mechanism to get there. SHE wants to dominate. SHE wants the power to herself. SHE wants to strip away your autonomy. That's Fiona.

eClaire on the other hand is a FEEDER at heart. She still struggles with her feedee side, but its FEEDERISM that's her driving factor. In her warped brain, feeding is love and caring and making you so large you can't leave her is her way of showering you in affection. She'll make you think its the best thing in the world, eventually, but she'll use every arsenal and resource at her disposal (which is vast, btw) to make that happen.

She's the "old flame" I mentioned in part one of the ama :). As for joining her? She's already taken by a character yet to officially be revealed.

eClaire. She's right on that edge of horror and fetish, of lovestruck and love-crazy. She's got this deep emotional trauma from a very abusive past relationship (fiona), it messed her up in a delightfully terrifying way. She's couth and cool, vulnerable but confident, and she has this constant inner struggle that she has to continually combat.

My least favorite character to write for is Fiona. She just makes me feel gross and icky when I write her lines. I like a little power play and domination, but my god she's a devil.

Hope that answers your questions! Feel free to write more in the comments :)
