the way you draw sleepiness makes me go insane (complimentary) like i see how it looks and go "that looks like a great time"
Aaa thank you so much! It's something I do love drawing, and it can be quite hard to get right but it's so important that they look comfy and relaxed. Most of my art comes from a place of "God I wish that were me", which includes wanting to be peacefully sleepy.
Hey! You're a damn fine artist and I appreciate you sharing your work with us.
Thank you so much for saying so! I appreciate you too!
Your art and writing is great! It reminds me of old Tumblr days. I love the focus on character dynamics and the feeling of trance
Gosh, thank you! Those are really important things to me, so I'm glad that they come across, and especially in writing, where I'm not as confident. It's interesting that you mentioned the old tumblr days, I really do miss the peak of that era but I've found that there's still a lovely and inquistitive audience over there!
I'm still not very good at answering every ask that comes my way...but it is a great exercise in doodling or writing up responses to ideas and questions, and a great source of artistic inspiration.
Which of your characters do you think has evolved the most from where they started conceptually?
I think most of them have stayed pretty consistent, they're not terribly complex in terms of personality or backstory. Usually I have a specific idea in mind when designing them, and their personality or character design tend to inform the other.
To answer the question, I think it would have to be Marcus, a D&D character of mine! He mostly lives on my fanart account but I sometimes RT stuff to this profile. Until I put him in BG3 I never imagined him bottoming or subbing for anybody, but then Astarion and Haarlep happened and I can't stop drawing him getting mindfucked.
He hasn't changed -that- much, because he was always a hedonist and prone to rash decisions, but I like exploring this side to him that maybe struggles to come to terms with how trusting someone to take care of him while in a vulnerable position (through hypno or vampire bites) makes him feel safe. I also enjoy overconfident subjects getting dommed and he's the perfect candidate for it. Sorry for the long answer but thank you for the interesting question!
Are you a fan of any other snakes besides Kaa?
I'm an enjoyer of Miraya (belongs to SnubbyNotHorny), Tanj (DeepJungleKamu), and Wick (alostbell)! There are plenty of other snakes I enjoy, but I'm very partial to these three, to the point I've drawn them fanart~
It's a bit vain but I am very fond of snakes of my own design, like Wreathe, Cairn's snake form, and Tori's tail, Tali...
what is your favorite piece of art that you have done?
That's quite a difficult question! It depends on my mood, but there is one old piece I keep coming back to over the years. It's this of Roth and Asudem, and when I drew it I could really feel like I had accomplished something with the pose, composition, and colour. I still really love their expressions and the tenderness it invokes, and I don't draw this kind of romantic, comforting type of hypno enough.

Your coils have always been utterly divine and trying to put it into words in my scenarios I write about my OCs and whatnot when I look back at them is utterly beautiful and makes me very bubbly rrrrgrgrgrhhh
Ahhh that's really wonderful to hear! It's something I've worked hard at for years, and I'm glad that it serves as a point of inspiration for your own art. I'm glad you feel the same sort of admiration for something as simple as scaly coils~
When are you going to draw Tori getting ssswallowed whole by that dashingly handsome python?
Unfortunately you won't have much luck! I only really enjoy the teasing threat of vore, and don't draw anyone actually getting swallowed. Whether I draw someone about to get gulped depends a lot on my mood, too.
Which one of your serpentine characters is most likely to just go all in on squeezes/constriction? Love me some snakes that will leave you breathless.
I would have to say Cairn! Just because he has centuries of practice, a ruthless enough personality, and the magical skills as a failsafe should he push things a -little- too far. I imagine Ruth would be in second place, she can get a bit caught up in the moment and doesn't always realise her own strength. Roth in 3rd after her, but is a lot more careful and there's plenty of aftercare to be had once the squeezing's over.
I like to think that all of them go tight on whoever is in their coils when they cum. It's a natural impulse and it's hard to hold back when all 30+ feet of their bodies is experiencing an orgasm.
What is the best way for a fetish artist to show their significant other what they draw?
Uhhh I'll be honest I've only done this once lol. I'll try to answer your question but I don't have much personal experience to draw from, and even then it was my partner at the time who asked me about my kinks first, so it seemed natural to show him my art at the time as well.
If I had to do it again, personally it would be when we're more comfortable knowing each other intimately and I would bring it up during a discussion of the things that get us going. I wouldn't show it to them at first, but I would talk about it, explain what I enjoy about my fetishes if they wanted to know more, then mention that I enjoy drawing it for fun. Only after that I would offer to show it to them if they were interested. Hopefully they'd be understanding even if it isn't something that appeals to them.
I think it's much healthier to air out this kind of thing instead of feeling ashamed about it. I'd never be able to hide this part of myself from my partner, at the very least I'd need their acceptance that I'm going to be drawing kinky shit for the foreseeable future!
Coils: how thick should they be?
I like them pretty thick, but not too much? Sometimes I'll be in the mood for a coil twice as wide as me to just smother me, but usually I like to go for either kaa-sized or a nice girthy 30cm diameter settled between the legs. That way it's easy to squeeze your thighs around it :)
The tail should ideally be the right size to fit inside your mouth, or hole of choice~
What is something you've drawn that ended up being more popular than you had originally thought?
The first example I can think of with that is an older gif I made for tumblr, that has sadly been caught by the filters. It was a very sketchy 3 frame gif of someone being fucked by a naga while encased his coils, while he watched from a short distance away.
It had about 3.5k notes before it was wiped off the site, and I was consistently shocked that it ever got that far. I made an improved version of it, still very sketchy, but it's still one of my favourite pieces because I can really feel the squeezing of the coils, and the pulsing of their orgasm from it.
Somehow these tiny versions of the gifs still survive!

Any favorite (non-snake/naga/lamia) creatures that you would love to see more hypnotic art with? For example I wish there was more bat based hypno (and just more bat art in general.
Somewhat related to your bat yearning, I would love to see more vampire hypno art! There's such a wonderful kind of danger to them, and the physical vulnerability that comes with offering up your neck to them is just too enticing. I love situations where the victim/subject abandons fear and rationality, and is entranced into willingly giving themselves over to the pred.
Incubi are a close second, and with both of these creatures they come with the added benefit of having lovely wings that be used to artistically frame the composition, or block the world away from the subject so their attention is focused on the hypnotist, and them alone...
Giving into the temptations of evil beings is a big recurring theme in my kinks lmao
Favorite three movies to watch near Halloween?
You know I've kind of fallen off the horror bandwagon the past year or so! One of my friends has a halloween tradition of watching Trick r' Treat together which is about the most halloween movie out there. Usually I use halloween as an excuse to watch new horror movies rather than rewatch, but I did enjoy watching the Ring (remake) last year!
how's your day going!
Pretty good! It's actually just about ended, I'm getting a little bit more work done on a short, horny fan-comic. It's hard going but I'm so determined to get it finished little by little. Going to log off and try to sleep almost as soon as I've finished answering this tbh =w=
