Steering Committee - General Discussion

Hello! As the last post for 2021, I want you in the steering committee tier to give me general feedback and/or suggestions on what you love to see more of. Or anything I haven't done that you want me to do. Any particular subject focus that you miss, or characters, fetishes, or settings.

This is an open discussion down in the comments. Feel free to also ask questions. Feel free to tell me you hate certain things I draw or write about, and you never want to see it again. Tell me what you want to see more of.

I guess the only thing I'll answer beforehand is that I won't be taking commissions.

If someone leaves a comment that you like and agree with, and want to echo, please like it so I can tell. 

I'll be paying attention to everything and addressing questions.

Thank you for a great 2021!

Steering Committee - General Discussion

Biggest thing I missed in '21 would have to be the Q&A. I'd love to see more questions answered even if they didn't all have the same level of art quality. Maybe instead of doing it in spurts, you could build a queue and space them out to one a month or something, that way you could do whichever you feel or characters you want to practice to make less work for you?

Anne

My favorite theme in the comics has been just the cross-overs and character development making the world feel more connected and complete. I'm dying to know what happens with Beth and find out if anything has changed for Penelope. More crossovers and relationship growth adored!

Anne

Hi, I would want an archive of a bunch of your old finished standalone works (not comics). it doesn't have to be all of them. but there are some old characters I would be interested to see more of. thank you.

teamoney

OK.

Greekart

Not a fan of fish except for dinner. I don't have any plans for hyenas, but we'll see.

Jay Naylor

I would like to see Hyena girls. Along with other antro girls of different spices. Also for May would you be willing to do a mermaid? Maybe in a relationship with an otter?

Greekart

Ratatouille The Fountainhead and Berserk Ribeye Yuka Kitamura ShidoL

Jay Naylor

General questions: -Personal Favorite films and literature -Favorite dish -Musical taste -Artist who you draw the most inspiration from

TheGreat-GackB1ast0r

I don't have the time to manage such a thing. I really just want to create and share it. There's nothing stopping someone else from taking the time to do that, though.

Jay Naylor

I made the same question before in the community tab, but ever put any thought to a Discord server? Could either be a glorified notification button for patreon or expand into a whole small community. Your choice

TheGreat-GackB1ast0r

A gargoyle? No idea. They're kind of ugly. I have transsexual characters, but any character that evades definition on purpose isn't something I want to work with. I have my own understanding of why even so many categories exist and it's not something I want to cover here. Thank you.

Jay Naylor

KaoruUzu

I understand, she seems to be a character that holds trauma and melancholy

AhPeku

I may put aside the time to really go through some history for her, but it won't be a happy story.

Jay Naylor

Thanks! Yes the Professor Anders encounter in Penny's comic was great! Maybe more risky encounters like that with other characters.

T-rex 1973

I think Professor Anders was first depicted in frilly wear. It's always tricky to depict especially when you get into different colors, like white, instead of black. I'll try to work on it next year. :3

Jay Naylor

I think about illustrating them at times. I should probably give them some practice as I should work on how I depict breasts, smooshily and all that.

Jay Naylor

Also curious about Kaori and how she developed into the character she is today and how she will be in the future?

AhPeku

I'm curious to see what it would be like if Audrey and Penny were to meet or Audrey and Penelope

AhPeku

Chasing Justin has a lot of equine content coming up in the next update. Thank you for the feedback. :3

Jay Naylor

Could use more equine art, but if the rest of the committee wants something else then so be it. Coffee and firearms of the high speed, low drag variant tend to be fun to see. You’re doing great so far; I just have personal desires.

Sphynx

Ooooh! I would also love to see a trans deer character! 😍 sorry just thought of that, mmmm 😅🤤😋

Gray Rankin

You may be thinking of Genwyn. The joke is that Penelope is a lesbian with a crush on Lynne but Lynne doesn't reciprocate.

Jay Naylor

I remember her fooling around with Penelope once, but she likes Penny. But I get you, I just wouldn’t mind seeing more of it in the future. Thanks Jay, really love and appreciate your work.

Gray Rankin

Lynne's not into girls, so it'd be out of character for her to indulge that way. I've also thought that a pee themed comic over all wouldn't be very popular for most others.

Jay Naylor

Not an encounter with Tommy, but I have a big story for Rachel planned to do next year.

Jay Naylor

Girl with girl, and especially trans girl with transgirl would be amazing for sweat and body worship <3

Gray Rankin

I would love to see some more water sports, A short story with Lynne and Penelope would be great! Maybe something where Penelope wants to try the kink and goes to the best girl she knows for it. Plus they are both just cute and sexy!

Gray Rankin

it would be interesting to have a kind of sequel to "The Gift" and prior to this sketch that shows Rachel's "slave training" involving maybe exhibitionism, sex in public, sex with multiple partners, and (again) glory holes, all while she is in deprivation. Perhaps a not-so-chance encounter with Tommy... and the (possible) regrets that that could generate for Rachel?

Anne Bloodrose

I miss seeing Kaori x Bruce. That was a fun bit.

A B

I'm thinking something that would take place in like a "realistic" setting but with some like Supernatural/Paranormal stuff to give the setting some character. Much like the story "Police Stories From the World's Strangest Town".

Cute Uncle Gobu

There is a nice uniform look to them. Plus, I really love Fisk and Lucy as characters and Tina as well.

Aero The Highwind

I would like to add to this. More PG play please. Specifically Billie and / or the General Mom Dog that featured in one of Penny's comics. The casual primal reach and take for a litter and then cuddles / snuggles with a harem of PG. Milkers / lactation would also be appreciated. :P

KungFooTek

I’ve always loved Red’s story. I’ve always found her hot and more gay scenes would be awesome! I’ve always loved your work and have no complaints!

Conner

How about seeing your characters in sexy clothing/lingerie/heels/stockings. Maybe stories involving weddings/proms/formal wear? Spitballing here but wouldn't mind seeing a bit more foreplay and sex in potentially compromising/risky situations. I like when couples get caught in the middle of things.

T-rex 1973

Generally? Keep active, be productive, stay happy. That's always most important. Your taste works for me. Specifically, if you're trying to spoil me? True Love is the only time I can remember a tit-job being performed, and Those Small Town Rumors is the only tit-fuck. It was mentioned in the stat sheets you tried out, and I'd love to see it embraced more. Offline was also the only instance of lactation I can name, but w/e. All breast stuff.

Fanjangil

Thanks!

Jay Naylor

I liked the one-page revisit on this with Fisk fantasizing about 'what happened if we didn't have kids'? I honestly love the one-off stuff just as much as the full stories.

Fanjangil

hello mister naylor ^_^ i really enjoy the way you write relationship dynamics, mostly sexual. i think id like to see how kinks play into a characters emotional complexity and their dynamic with partners, i know thats pretty much what you mainly do but yeah. also sweat/body worship stuff is always always good especially if its a girl worshipping a guy, thats one of my favorite things and you do it very well... thank you for your hard work this year!

Kaya Rainbird

I'd love some more Fisk or the kids content. Doesn't have to be lewd, just feel very emotionally tied to that storyline and I've love to see where it goes.

Smores

She's super cute, I like her timidness, and Retrievers are adorable.

Wayward_Vagabond

Just stumbled onto your about section and the universe explanation LOL! Downvote for Cottonwine if it will contain anything outside of furries or humans (i heard elves and thought Nope!)

Brandon Lynch

First What is a warmup sketch? So just some prefs (only read about 2 comics of yours so far): Huckleberry Ann is probably #1 my fav followed by Force of Nature Always thought male and female horse characters were the hotest but calypso is a little too eh muscular/busty like maybe not natural enough? Her head seems a little off (I really like an "Apollo style" horsey better) if I just want to be a jerk and really pick it apart (sorry but thought you would want to know). Just my 0.02 also I equally enjoy seeing male furry x female furry and male furry x female human (dont worry chasing justin is pretty awesome so far) Fetishes are just general breeding situations, heavily romantic content Characters id like to see more of Hilde (super cute) Veronika Alicia Beth Billie Would like to see veronika and hilde together if possible they are both just so frisky! It would be kind of cool if there was a pinned post or something that could explain to the newbs all the different universes and such(you r gonna need a wiki soon!!) Lastly I kind of hate Franchesca, she annoys me LOL. I dont know if this is the comment type you were really looking for but thought Id take a stab. As usual no matter what, your work is always fab!!!! Happy new year!! Cant wait to see whats ahead!

Brandon Lynch

Might be a bit to fetishy for some, But I would love to see some preggo lovin’. Nothing over the top obviously, something tender and sweet with lots of snuggling afterwards, like a pair of expecting parents enjoying a lazy day together. Ultra vanilla

Texas Gent

Don't know. Don't want to get all Marvel/DC crossover-y with it, with dimensional sciences and such. Just seems weird.

Jay Naylor

The issue with Discord is it's easy for something to become less about the work I'm producing and more about the community and regulating it, making sure everyone plays nice, and all that stuff. It becomes more about keeping the community happy and less about my own ideas that I'm doing for my own expression. Now, there's nothing stopping anyone else from making a Discord server about my stuff and managing the community. As it is, I think for me, it would be a time sink that would just take time away from me producing new things.

Jay Naylor

One “what if” scenario I came up with could involve how characters from certain universes would work if they were in another, like how would Josephine from New Worlds translate to being in Original Life, or Tommy in Power-Armored Bunnies armor, that sort of thing.

Buster Davison

You have produced a such wonderful mix of characters in art and stories and stand alone images this year. Thank You. * The spectrum of your art characters is refreshing from the youth of Brooke and Her continuing exploits to the introduction of My new favorite MILF Billie and Her SFW and NSFW images. Such a softie! Your Sofia and Enola SFW sketches were very nice also. I'm an Old Guy so the more mature characters are much appreciated. * Your RedDefense Piece with the tactical MOLLE coffee Cup Holder was a kick for this old Grey Muzzle Sailor. More Coffee! Grin. * My favorite "Communist Dog" were in your sketches of Veronika Rogova of course. :-) * Question: Have you considered creating a Discord Server Community for Patreon Members to congregate and participate in? I understand that with the number of followers that You have it would be a chore for someone to SysAdmin, Manage, and Moderate but there may be enough People here in the group to make it happen. It would be a place that you could lurk and get a feeling for the current Fandom and drop an art piece once in a while. Just a thought. :-) * Also congratulations on 30K followers on Twitter! That's a bunch! * Happy New Year to you and Yours!

Antarctican

I just want you to keep exploring stuff.

legojohn

It's was just a idea for a gift for her it's all

Wind Might

Samantha is an empowered, yet feminine character. Seeing her as a mother still being very, eh "active" is also quite interesting.

Kevin Giebels

Thanks a bunch. :3

Jay Naylor

Thank you!

Jay Naylor

If those are someone else's characters, I've never heard of them. I just tend to draw my own, and don't do rule 34 stuff.

Jay Naylor

Damn Patreon’s BS! Didn’t think about that. You could try something with just equine tribe characters, like the traveling scholar in the field notes who nearly observes and not interacts. I know that might seem like a rehash but I’m sure there are those here who would be happy to see it all the same. Hmm, alternative: perhaps a major time skip into the future of the cotton wine universe (like by a few centuries). The eleven realms are gone and anthro species have taken over. New societies, tech, customs etc. obviously too much for one comic but good for world building, which in turn fuels inspiration.

Texas Gent

My only regret is never seeing that original story to completion

pokediginut

Dude I looooved Mistress Theresa!!!

pokediginut

The old characters are a bit settled, I think. Sheila even.. I haven't thought about her in forever. I guess the younger ones are more fresh feeling. One of the tough things about having characters that live on a timeline, instead of just occupying a niche.

Jay Naylor

Well that’s real swell of ya ^^. I always was so excited to see certain questions answered that I had always wondered. You tend to do always great on em but I never want you to feel pressured to do em or for it to be unpleasant for you to draw of course. I look forward to hopefully seeing them again ^^

pokediginut

There is a Francesca comic I have in mind, but it's a bit new still and I'd need to do it when I have the time.

Jay Naylor

I have another Lynne story in written out. Very much something I could do whenever I have the time. Maybe next year I'll have that time. :3

Jay Naylor

Of course I feel obligated to make answers entertaining. :3

Jay Naylor

Oh wonderful news indeed

Rose Head

You can draw Stella and Evie for Zummeng?

Wind Might

I've thought about it. I'm trying not to do anything that can be construed as bestiality, and any focus on the equine tribes, no matter how anthro, could trigger those kinds of things. I'd have to just take a chance, but more off, come up with a suitable story to explore them with, that didn't feel like just rehashing old themes.

Jay Naylor

Is it just how they look that you like?

Jay Naylor

Would love more penny and Francesca. Though anything you put out is fantastic and I look forward to seeing/reading more.

Peridot

I could do a blank template. I want to make more, even though it's sometimes hard to narrow characters down to those kinds of statistics.

Jay Naylor

What do you like about her?

Jay Naylor

I like her a lot, too. But I'll avoid monologues like that in the future. I'm going to try to show not tell.

Jay Naylor

Im personally a massive fan of Lynn. Would love to see a continuation of The Awakening with her. Im avout all things Lynn hahaha 🤣. But id like to encourage you too, love what you put out. I as well would love to see characters that are already present be developed further and have continued stories.

Carth

Do you always feel obligated to make answer’s entertaining? Some I found can be quite sexy answers even if simple and others can just showcase off questions fans have long had. But perhaps yes you can make it easier for yourself. There’s a lot I feel like you can do with the Q&A to have fun with and we can enjoy as well

pokediginut

I've thought about Anders in particular, but I've had so much else on my mind that nothing solid has come out about her yet.

Jay Naylor

Honestly, just looking forward to more character development with the current cast both new and old. The mature content is a nice touch but have always been interested in where there characters go. It's fine if they become complete with no need for further development in terms of gaining more experience or having some epiphany but always nice to see what they're up to in a more casual sense. Keep up the good work been reading since 2006 (I think, might have been earlier than that lol) :3

Viro Veteruscy

I bit off a bit more than I could chew with that. But I have thought about a future project where I condense some of her stories into a real comic.

Jay Naylor

That is the outlet for the ongoing comic right now. I have another plot heavy adult comic planned for next year, so stay tuned for that. But Brooke will continue.

Jay Naylor

I feel like I drew her so much this year, but she's definitely not retired.

Jay Naylor

For me, there's a lot to covering extreme levels of temptation, especially in women. That's what it plays to. Iv'e been thinking of ways to introduce infidelity, but in a less polarizing way, but I don't know if it's possible. Plus, I feel like I've covered it to death in prior stories and pictures. Group action, though..... keep your eyes open in the future.

Jay Naylor

I feel like there’s more that could potentially be touched on and played with in the future. Enemy was one of the best comic you’ve ever done with how little dialogue there was. And you’ve teased us with other species outside of the wolves I wouldn’t mind seeing more of. Such as that female horse you’ve drawn pics of

pokediginut

That's going back pretty far. I feel like Fisk has run his course as a subject. But I'll let you know if any ideas really spark up later.

Jay Naylor

What do you like about her?

Jay Naylor

I feel bad for not being able to answer all the questions in the illustrated Q&A because I tend to end up with so many. It would take months to complete if I did. I also tend to get inundated with questions that are hard to make entertaining as answers. We'll see. Maybe I'll constrain the subject of the questions to a specific character cast at a time, to make it more manageable in a bite-sized way.

Jay Naylor

Cottonwine feels like it's run its course, I guess? Without retreading old ground that I've already written about. It's why the last story I wrote from it was more of an individualistic story, with a human male and a female wolf. I'd like more Serena ideas. I guess there aren't as many because she's detached from any established set of stories and worlds that I usually work in. I have no more Original Life ideas, but from time to time there may be one off pages I do, especially over at the SFW Patreon, such as when Beth was talking to her sister about becoming a mother.

Jay Naylor

I’d love to see more cotton wine material, maybe something focused on the equine tribes (you have a name for them but I can’t remember what you called them) or maybe something covering the cresthlids (might save that for Halloween as I’m sure it would be kind of dark). Im sure most of us would be happy to see a sequel to Enemy too.

Texas Gent

I'd have to say that Tina has re-awakened my love for how you draw Tuxedo Cats. Would love to see more of Fisk or Lucy, or more Tina. Sadly, I know any more suggestions I would have would be not acceptable here, but yeah more Tuxedo cats?

Aero The Highwind

I've enjoyed everything you've made this year. The one thing I'd enjoy seeing more of is those rpg character sheets you made of Brooke and Billie. I would love to see one of every character you've made and possibly even a blank sheet for other people to use.

Bullshark

I would love to see more of Audrey.

Wayward_Vagabond

I've always loved the Lynna stories. Her monolog at the end of twisted sister right before she passes out always had me wondering what's going on in her head and if we'd learn more about her and Genwyn's past.

Eggrix

Also, I'd love to see more of Professor Anders and Francis. A good backstory would be nice.

Jim D

I'd love to see more Cottonwine stuff. I second the lighthearted idea raised above... and in particular I'd love to see a return of Mistress Theresa.

Dale Evans

Brook Goes to College is sort of filling in my reason for being a patron. I very much prefer the long story arcs that made me a fan in the first place. I do miss a regularly scheduled comic story like Better Days. You've brought this up, but the problem is that there isn't as much adult content when there is a plot to support. I really don't mind less adult content if a good story supports what is there.

Jim D

I’d love to see more of Penny. Maybe more of her and Lynne. I like them together. Their friendship is cute.

TEP

I think the cotton wine verse is very well suited to more dark themes but anything new done with it would be welcome

Rose Head

I see I’ll go ahead then, AHEMHEM. This year we have been delighted to see a number of old favorites like Brooke goes to college still going strong 💪🏿 love the development and narrative direction so far! we also finished up when god sleeps earlier as well! That comic got me to thinking… this is the kind of forbidden love that I think I’ve been missing for some time. A wild embrace of passion is almost never dissatisfying to see but I do like seeing more dark themes (cheating, group action etc.) from time to time. Adds a bit of spice to the mix. Well that’s my 2 cents at least

Rose Head

Honestly, I would like to see some of Fisks, pre wedding exploits, when working for the “company”. Partners, frenemies, adventure companions… I’m sure he has some interesting international history… if you feel like it. Loved the ”Rescue Persia?” Scenario. But then there was that other world you had created that I’m sure some of us miss… the pirate world, sorry the name of it escapes my memory, I have some of it on one of those discs I bought a while back of you work. Loved the brothel…

David Shiffer

More samantha please...

Kevin Giebels

Long time fan and supporter. I’ve been very satisfied overall and majority. But if I had a few personal things I’d like to see a return, the Q&A warm up images. I know sometimes it’s a lot and you have to better reign in things but I really enjoy thoughs. The blue haired lioness, I was very fascinated in her creation that we your Patreon’s made and I’d definitely like to see you do something proper with her. But mainly I am just loving the content you put out. Although my favorite is the Cottonwine content followed by the Lumpkinville content and I know you feel you must be wary with how volatile Patreon can feel with their rules I most definitely wanna see more content from those 2 outside the fantastic original life content. Thanks for making yet another year a little more bearable with your art Jay, I’m already glad I can’t be a small part in supporting ya

pokediginut

I have a friend who’s been missing the Cottonwine universe, though I feel like there’s potential for a more lighthearted story to be told within that universe. Also, Serena Sinclair deserves more time to shine, haven’t seen a lot of her lately. I’m also curious to know if you have any ideas for more Original Life +5 pages, even if they’re more one-off episodic gags and not ongoing stories.

Buster Davison

honestly love everything and anything you make and the stories only get better. maybe some cameos of old characters time to time like Fisk or Tommy and Lucy maybe even Sheila.

Kurocat

I'm a simple man, Jay Dog. I like the full body pics like you did for Penelope or the character writeup things you do. Those are my jam. Keep up the awesomeness, Big Dog!
