Finished another gift for my friend Quiche.

I wasn't sure if I'd have time to make her a character, or even what I'd do, but she asked me if I'd do that for her.  I got all excited and felt super honored <3  so I played around with some ideas...a little.  mostly I thought of the photos of sugar gliders I had printed to make a new character.  I thought she'd make a good sugar glider, did a sketch of her as one, and then we decided on colors based off of the photos I had (I printed one for literally -every possible color type- of sugar glider recorded on the web) and did the sheet.

She's just a standard one: standard colors and markings.  She doesn't have any skin for gliding though, it was either removed or she was born without it.  I have a feeling that anthro gliders, since they aren't exactly aerodynamic, would either not have it, have only a little webbing, or have full-out skin, but would also most likely get such skin removed at birth.
She has a pouch and unfortunately I didn't make it sideways like a proper one.  It's kind of cute and cartoony and she could keep stuff in it. :P
The outfits are basically in a lot of bright/cheery colors, or blues, greens, and browns (which most of her wardrobe is made of).  She has an awesome collection of novelty tights/stockings/socks with lots of fun prints and colors and she wears them all frequently.  Cute hair, clips in every day.  She's very studious and likes studying languages...and knitting.  I just drew some of the outfits she wears regularly (she helped me with the dress) and threw on some shoes she has.  She has legit shoes.  The white ones are these heels that you can keep on by lacing up ribbons---you can put in any ribbon that fits.
Also, Slytherin scarf she made.  In the best of ways--because Slytherins aren't described as douches, just as ambitious people-she is a Slytherin for certain.

I'm working on a glider character for myself too, as mentioned above.  Her name's Tess, she's a sort of rusty tan color, she's got turquoise hair, and her tits are awesome. XP  Also she's gonna be Lance's friend/possible girlfriend but he'll meet her/fall in love with her as Emilie (very unfortunate!).
I'll have some sketches of her up soon.  All I know for sure is, I probably am going to give her an unrealistic body. XP  skinny, cute huggable butt, and large cup size. D:  But she's also trying to live life with this obnoxious glider skin getting in the way and it bunches up under her bra/undies all the time (or else it would be blown out in the wind...).  Ouch.

OH ALSO Liz's character has a little pet alligator that Laurel and I came up with for her.  Cute, right? :P

It's not great.  I colored it pretty fast and I now realize I forgot to color in its collar.  But whatevs, it's cute and it's done which means her ref (which took me an inordinate amount of time) will be done by the end of the day.

Have a great Christmas!

Doodle I forgot to post.

Lance and Emilie.  I keep forgetting the horizontal anti-eyebrow they have, it'd show up on Lance's headshot if I actually remembered it.
He keeps changing when I draw him.  I gotta pin his design down and really get his headshots to be more consistent, I think.

and I'm NEARLY done with Sophie's and SUPER excited about it.
The wings are glittery with moth scales irl (well not actual ones BUT YOU KNOW).  <3

The colors scanned way better this time.
She's so cute ;-; and Sophie says she's gonna draw her on like
everything

Doing REALLY well on my Christmas gifts for friends.  I've done a lot of human sketches, mostly of my boys Liam and Dan, and I'll scan them soon. I'm trying to design a sugar glider...it's tricky :P

Doodles of Dan I did on the corner of the French version of "Oh Christmas Tree" all ready for winter (well, sorta).  He gets a red nose on a good day so his nose must be like, NEON here.  He doesn't wear a nice, puffy warm winter jacket either (which is really dumb) because he thinks it makes him look fat.  This, from the kid who weighs nearly nothing--and no, Danno ain't manorexic, he's just plain thin.

But he does wear a cute hat and scarf. :/ He straightened his bangs only here.

 Dan and Jack.  Dan's side profile is atrocious.  I like the one above better.  I love his front view though.
Jack is in Bad Spider--he's the Guitarist Who Needs No Introduction--and is a fursuiter and fursuit maker as well as general furry artist.  He's an incredibly stylish person.  I SUPER stylized his features here as I'm starting to zone in on how I want him to look (the guys in Kill Hannah all resemble him in a certain way, lol).  He wears bunny ears and antlers (sometimes reindeer ones with little bells he bought at the dollar store) most days--his fursona is, oh god, such a groaner: Jack the Jackalope. :/  Dan had a crush on him for a while but then got over it because essentially Dan is not a gay character XP Jack is though.

 Liam and Derrick.  Still playing around with Derrick.  If the side profile looks familiar, it's a sketch based off of a different picture...that didn't turn out as well as I hoped.  I like his front view, though, and that initial picture of him works with the front view, so I just need to get better at those.
LIAM LOOKS PERFECT TO ME HERE.  I LOVE IT.

I "saw" Liam in a restaurant and doodled the guy on a napkin while watching him eat chicken wings and laugh at stuff his friends said.  I starred the ones I like.  I REALLY like the one of Andy with the hat on. And Anthro!Liam is a big masculine ginger tabby.  And may also be a wolf.  Depends on what he wants to draw.  

The side view looks more like the guy (who was in a hat) than he does Liam, but it's still close.  The picture above is WAY closer, but seeing that the front views were really similar was neat.  The hat makes him look different.  Plus I actually scaled his skull correctly on the napkin doodles....

And here's something I scanned for Mandeaux (Chizbizz on FA) yesterday, a little gift in exchange for some naughty arts of Carlos and Merriweather. X3
And another one just for being an awesome friend.

Also, WIPs from forever ago of Bailey and Benihime (contest prize...I want to just get it over with, I REALLY hate drawing anything for fetish furs).  I'm scared to finish the Bailey one.  Lately white on parchment has been a frightening thought.  But it's so cute. -_- 

WIPs for Sophie  (the moth-deer-rabbit-spirit character) and Joy (super cute peach-faced lovebird).  Characters for IRL friends.  I was really close to Sophie for the designing because she's a fellow artist and is planning to draw this design (eee!).  It's ALMOST done. 

her hair does NOT have V-bangs.  It has Bettie Paige bangs.  MY bangs are V-bangs. >:E

So she's a forest spirit primarily of decay (leaves rot where she walks, she can create dirt, create maggots and worms, decompose dead animals and plant matter, and make mushrooms grow) that gives off a weak aura attracting mostly moths but calming other animals so that she can approach any of them.  She didn't scan right: the arms are a pale grey, slightly brown, and the colors are darker and more mixed.  Oh well.

She can run around in the city or country, either or.  Likes lolita and vintage dresses, and high-fashion goth.  She is SO fucking fashionable irl.  One of those people that can wear ANYTHING.

So yeah, she's a forest spirit but she doesn't exclusively live in the forest.

Joy is a lovebird for a bunch of reasons.  She's annoying, cocks her head a lot like one, and sings.  She felt it fit her immature charm. XP Plus her buddy Liz is a dog-bird-thing so they sort of half go.  She also doesn't have breasts, but instead has this "bump" of feathers that lovebirds have on their chests.  And she has comic book bird hands, lol.  No fingers...but still left handed.  

Her pants are funky.  They're made to accommodate bird legs, and have holes for the knee and can zip off right above the knee or down the back for greater comfort/other options of wear in general.  I had a pair of zip off pants as a kid...ah, those were the days.  

Also, for my friend Kiera.

I don't really know why but I've always drawn her as a papillon, for a few years now.  Other animals may fit her better, but she's got this fluffy hair that she dyes all the time and she's just got this sophistication that reminds me of one.  She's by no means small.  She's really tall and is either a brown belt or lower-level black belt in karate.  She's sturdy, more sturdy than these dogs are.  BUT it just fits, so I don't question it.  She likes it anyway.  

She'd make a good owl. :P

Sam

She lives in Toronto not far from both biological parents and her half sister Carlos, although lives is a weird word, I guess, since Sam's dead.  :P

Ethnicity/Species: Pseudo-Angelic/ Human. Undead. 
Pure Form: Null. Has many other forms, though: a cream-white fox-ferret-ish animal, awhite rabbit, deer fawn, mismatched skeletons a la Svankmejer. (wings present, but they are bones with feathers attached, usually), skull dolls, Hong Kong celluloid fawn, 80s MLP.
Faith: Nothing, cynical on the subject, but does not deny god(s) existing. Nihilistic.
Sexuality: Pansexual, prefers men despite fearing them. 
Partner: Married to Vincent
Siblings: Carlos and Ayami-half siblings
Music: Rasputina & Jack-Off Jill = favorite bands ever. Autumn Tears, Dead Can Dance, Loreena McKennett, George Crumb, Merzbow, The Birthday Massacre, Dog Fashion Disco, Modest Mussorgsky, Polkadot Cadaver, Skinny Puppy, Syd Barrett, fictional band—I Read the Giver, Siouxsie Sioux, Yellow Swans, Christian Death, The Last Dance, old Korn, Bauhaus, Oingo Boingo, Coldplay, Tool, Clan of Xymox, Hector Berlioz, Nine Inch Nails, Mr. Bungle, Audra, My Chemical Romance, Bikini Kill, Mother Mother, The Dresden Dolls, Amanda Palmer, Scarling, Huggy Bear, Modest Mouse, Mindless Self Indulgence, Kerli, Type O Negative, My Bloody Valentine, The Blood Brothers, The Smiths, The Cure, early Manic Street Preachers, The Knife, Metallica, A Perfect Circle, Sopor Aeternus, Arvo Pärt, old Thirty Seconds to Mars, AFI, Garbage, The Faint, Ministry, Depeche Mode, Claire Voyant, Koffin Kats, Circus of Dead Squirrels, Emilie Autumn, My Ruin, The Creepshow Rob Zombie, Babes in Toyland, Creature Feature, Marilyn Manson.

She prefers female singers. 
Fashion: Lot of black and white, grey sometimes, and occasionally pale blue/pink, dark red or purple. Classic, gothic, guro lolita. Hair accessories-hats, ungodlybig Victorian bows, headdresses, bow clips. Chokers often, cameo necklaces sometimes, ferret scarves (the dilapidated entire animal kind) on occasion, collars (spiked or otherwise) sometimes. Often wears bloomers, child corsets, etc. under clothes. Stockings can be white, black, patterned, NEVER fishnet. Saddle shoes, maryjanes. Is fond of Mori Girl, but only when it looks like: tattered or muted Lolita, 17-1800s, or like a medieval peasant—none of that bohemian hipster bullshit. When in a young form, she almost always attempts to look doll-like. If in the 20something form she may wear slips, short dresses, vintage pin-up clothes, fur coats, or kinderwhore—this form can look a little more adult in fashion. Will sometimes wear smoky black eye makeup, or dark lipstick, or add cracks and blood if going guro. Sews much of her own clothes. 
Personality: SAM IS NOT, I REPEAT NOT, A TEAM PLAYER. 
Extreme moodswings. Sharp wit, sardonic and cynical. Obsessive. Morbid curiosity, fascination with pain. Incredibly sadistic, a bit masochistic. Trusts no-one completely, except her mother, who is unable to take care of herself due to her own disorders. Capable of incredible kindness to friends and close family. Narcissistic, paranoid, and insecure. Hallucinates. Often intoxicated. Easily scared, especially of men, animals, swimming, and—to a far lesser degree--hospitals. All animals frighten her in person, but she likes renderings or photos of them, especially deer. In person a deer would petrify her. Nasty, morbid, dirty, often tasteless sense of humor. Enjoys exploiting, tricking, or hurting people she doesn’t know or trust for her own satisfaction. She is capable of regret, but her inability to fully feel physical and emotional sensations fully makes her sense overall sparse and skewed; that, and she’s been hurt too many times to have a good sense of these things anymore. Can be viciously cruel, selfish, and spiteful, often with little provocation. Suffers from symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia, displays traits of sociopathic behavior, narcissism, borderline personality and passive aggressive disorders. Refuses/fears professional help, but her husband, family, and very few friends have helped her reach a better place. Vain of her clothes-likes looking pristine. Dislikes her appearance-often jokes about it but it really hurts her. Loves feeling powerful, needed, and in control; hates showing her many weaknesses. 
Drugs: Caffeine, (coffee, tablets, etc), tobacco, cocaine, methamphetamine, ether, ecstasy, cough medicines, spray cans, sharpies, glue, anything, anything to get a high. She DOES NOT EAT (few exceptions) but takes drugs to fuel her body, specifically stimulants. She also uses other substances to help her sleep sometimes, mainly opiates. 
Likes: Sleeping, art nouveau, macabre and non-pc humor, surrealism, drawing and painting, taxidermy (extensive collection of atypical and normal taxidermy, skull dolls, etc), gore/guro, music, gothic/romantic-era literature (Hawthorne is one of her favorite writers), anthro art, macabre/horror, Frances Bacon, Salvador Dali, aura/universe energy transformation/usage, getting high, intelligent conversation, lolita, My Little Pony art, books, figurines, and shows (she obsessively owns every pony item that ever existed and buys every new one), antiques, unicorns, filmmaking, S/M, theatre, bats, deer, rabbits, history, learning new languages, Hannibal the Cannibal, European history, Halloween, medical oddities, traveling, reviewing films, Japan (lived there in the 80’s), studying faiths, sewing, Futurama, Metalocalypse, South Park, old Family Guy, video games (silent hill series, resident evil series, devil may cry series, Katamari, Mario, old fight games, etc.), Victorian-era culture, art, homes, and furniture.
Dislikes: Sexism against women, narrow mindedness, people messing where they don’t belong in terms of energy experimentation, politics, men with facial hair (upon first meeting), being alone for too long even if others are in the house, horses, rats, dogs, some birds (all animals frighten her, but those ones especially do), her physical age vs. actual age, country music, soda, swimming/large bodies of water, dark small places, pedos (no tolerance for them whatsoever, although her jokes can be tasteless), food (most tastes like nothing and causes her to feel sick), feeling used/lied to/manipulated/talked down to (she sees a lot as falling under this category), people trying to help her.
Movies: Anything by Jan Svankmejer, Silence of the Lambs, Pan’s Labyrinth, The Shining, anything by Stanley Kubrick, From Hell, Watchmen, Batman shit, Pet Semetary, The Wall, Mirrormask, any of the old MLP movies, Perfect Blue, Shutter Island, The Prestige, The Exorcist (ugh), Princess Mononoke, Donnie Darko, Paprika, Nosferatu. Big horror fan, but she’s very picky.

Arthritic
Large blue eyes; pupils often overly dilated or contracted.
Delicate features
Nails-sometimes painted, sometimes bitten or ripped off.

Small mouth.
Thick, clotted blood.
Eyes almost always bloodshot. 


NOTE ON OTHER, INVENTED ANIMAL FORMS: All of them can have fleshless, skull faces, but may keep ears or may have fake or button eyes. Can have needles for teeth regardless of whether the face is a skull. 

Deer form: more animal than human, close to 6'. Physical age is unknown, but it does have fawn markings. 
Big ears
Fluffy tail
Hands and feet are hooves.

Poorly made skull doll-coyote head, yarn hair glued or taped on, grey body, sometimes leaks stuffing (sawdust).  Amateur hand stitching.  Wings are constructed from random bones, then craft feathers are sewn together and tied onto the wings.  Wires hold the bones together so they can move, and they are attached to the body in the same fashion.  


Loves form experimentation; you can come up with other forms for her, granted they fall under skull dolls or taxidermy experiments, mostly. 

Carlos

Info on Sweet Surprise, her ponysona, is included at the bottom.

Carlos is one of my favorites as well as my number 1 kink character.
She's best friends with Lindsay, lives with/hangs around with Carmichael (lindsay's bf), sees Bailey often, and is mostly internet friends with Dan but they chill sometimes.  She becomes friends with Lance/Emilie, Tess, and Andy and Liam over time.  Close with her half sister, Sam. 
She was born in Brazil, then moved to NYC with both parents when she was eight, where they lived with Lucy's bitter informally adopted brother.  Remus was like a bro to him, but they had a relationship later on that ended on bad terms.  It was supposed to be a temporary move but Remus kept borrowing their cash and they couldn't really move so they left immediately when Lucy got a job offer in Toronto.  Carlos was 12 then.  She and Merriweather started living together weeks after they began dating when Merriweather got kicked out.  That was when she was 16--she started transitioning a few months after.
Lindsay, Carlos, Carmichael, and Merriweather share an apartment currently.


Kinks (when domming--performed on Merriweather, usually): Whipping, needle play, wax play, temperature play, puppy play, hardcore oral, asphyxiation.
(when subbing):Ribbon bondage, spanking.  Also uses standard and rope restraints.

Fashion: Sweet Lolita or Fairy-Kei usually, Sweet Punk Lolita sometimes. “cotton candy” colors, purple, pastels, white. Favorite brands are Angelic Pretty and Sugar Sweet (the one she works for), so her clothes often have prints (but not always) and are usually good for Fairy-Kei too (buys a lot of separates).  Does do SOME classic sweet lolita too. Does not wear pants, may wear shorts or bloomers on occasion. Usually wears mary janes, but can wear high heels, boots, typical lolita shoes too. When not in Lolita she wears Fairy-Kei style—lolita accessories, chunky pastel sneakers and bracelets, pastel colors, Lolita or cute skirts and 80s children’s imagery—or casual punk lolita style (usually leaning towards sweet) a lot of black, pink and white, stripes, non-baggy band and graphic tees, skirts, stockings of some sort, boots or maryjanes. Collars and vivid colors are acceptable with the more casual outfits. Headbands, hats, bows, headdresses, etc. are all okay with any of the above fashion. Her makeup is simple and classic (not loud) or pastel, unless bright blue or pink, or the rare neons for clubbing. Sleeps in (often transparent) slips, babydoll nighties, etc. usually, but sometimes wears Merriweather’s pajamas (baggy pants and shirts, exaggerated length—way too long for her).  Underwear ranges from plain, cute colors and patterns to lingerie with stockings (preferred when domming).
Personality: Appears cheerful, but is often moody. Hard worker, loyal friend.  Highly social.  Clingy at times, but independent at heart. Moodswings. Never calm, only hyper or tired out. Easily excited, upset, or disappointed. Leader personality, often dominant. Intelligent, flamboyant, broad-minded. Can manipulate others’ emotions with little problem. She LOVES her family and sees them at least once a week.  Her own self-opinion fluctuates. Although she acts childish at times she’s mostly quite mature and responsible (except with money—terribly frivolous spender). Good with children. Often loud. Incredibly impatient. Dislikes most gory and scary things.  Carlos struggles daily with crippling anxiety.  Restraint and nesting under piles of bedding sometimes helps calm her.  Prone to panic attacks, fits, nightmares and night terrors. Hoarder; trait picked up from her parents. Afraid of medicine and anything in tablet form including vitamins, surgery, and doctors’ offices/equipment.  Multitalented; actress, singer, excellent cook and baker, occasionally dabbles in writing, learning to sew, draws.  She actually makes art, models, and designs for Sugar Sweet, a tiny sweet lolita brand stationed in her neighborhood.
Carlos was born in Brazil; her mother was a citizen all her life, but her father is from NYC. When she was 8, the family moved to NYC and lived there for 4 years, then moved to Toronto for his current job when she was 12. She met Merriweather in Rochester at an anime/furry con he had been dragged to, and when he got kicked out, he had no choice but to move to Toronto and live with her family. About two months after, she came out to him as MtF. Also they have a friggin miniature unicorn. yeah.
NOTE: Carlos is Merriweather’s mistress, and this is somewhat evident out of the bedroom. Usually they’re pretty casual-equal towards one another, but they both enjoy interweaving aspects into daily life.  Her subbing is often a reward for previous sessions but is sometimes for stress or simply because.  During such a session she’s usually sweet and gentle, purposely vulnerable. During these sessions he calls her his princess or baby girl. Sometimes their relationship appears reversed, but usually Carlos has requested him to make her feel “small.”  They share most duties, though, except finances—Merriweather handles those on his own since Carlos cannot be trusted with money.
Drugs: Pot and alcohol sometimes; prefers fancy “fruity” drinks. Cautious and prudent with usage.
Likes: Lolita and Fairy-Kei, kitschy stuff (i.e. lucy’s electric campfire, their chili pepper lights, lawn gnomes, and flamingos hanging from the balcony of their apartment), cute food, stickers, kawaii, musicals, cooking, Paradise Kiss, cosplay, making music with Dan, her family, learning, snuggling, singing and performing, blue and pink together (pastel or neon), going to Merriweather’s relatives’ farm, goats, conventions, mochi, marzipan, Lucy’s waffles, Sailor Moon, strawberries, annoying losers on dating/adult chat sites, children, sewing, concerts, dancing, garage sales and thrift stores, drawing, classic and new video games, taking walks, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumia, Lucky Star, picking fruit, clapping rhymes, being Merriweather’s mistress, BDSM, cute manga/anime, shopping, unicorns, purple, ribbons, makeup, dying her hair, roller skating and ice skating, My Little Pony (including FiM) collecting ponies and pony customization, pet play, cats, unicorns, and exploring, especially cities.
Dislikes: Medical items, gory stuff. She is slightly phobic of everything from scalpels to band-aids to papercuts but when domming she can actually enjoy causing physical distress.  Also dislikes most rap and country music, jazz, too much cheese on her pizza, horror, being mistaken for a kid, racist humor, being dirty/smelly, fast food, drinking to excess, trans ignorance, waiting, too much butter on anything, zombies, being held up by slow people, and wishy-washiness.
Movies: Kamikaze Girls, West Side Story, The Last Unicorn, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Aristocats, The Girl who Leapt through Time, Tokyo Godfathers, Be Kind Rewind, Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer, The Princess Bride, Millennium Actress, Labyrinth, Whisper of the Heart, Orlando, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Edward Scissorhands, But I’m A Cheerleader, The Cat Returns, Chicago, My Neighbor Totoro, People Under the Stairs, Connie and Carla.

A ton of finished work and WIP's...mix of clean and nude/adult.  the latter are under the cut. finished version of Death and the Maiden.  Portfolio piece for sure.  Didn't scan the whole thing though, it got cut off. ;-;

Various unfinished ATCs.  Fanart for Matt & Kim (I'll Take Us Home to be specific, from the album Grand) and Say Anything (Little Girls), and a picture of Bailey wigging out in double.  All from this summer. 

The Body (Stand By Me was made from this story), and Carrie.  I want to make a "torso" for the middle but I need to pick another, recognizable, Stephen King story.  Also it has to be one I've read. XP I haven't read all his "classics" yet by any means. 

 Liam.  It doesn't look like how I want him to look.  His face used to be too "pretty" so I went all ultra-squished and now it's just not him either.  Honestly, he looks like Derrick (see below the cut, but warning: adult art) and that's annoying.  Drawn to the totally inspiring, mostly instrumental album Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Die; Those Who Tell the Truth Shall Live Forever by Explosions in the Sky (I bet it's a will instead of shall but I can't remember right now).  There's one track that's got speaking.

And finally, this is in my portfolio to show how my thoughts progress.  A redesign of a character with a long, interesting history.  I made up Triina in like, 7th grade.  She got me into some drama with gutter flower (who is a friend now <3) for good reason: I didn't quite understand what I'd done as being wrong, but I'd copied her character Tristan, especially his hair.  There wasn't enough distinguishing them (looking back it is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever done, honestly).  So then I was super inspired by all the adorable asian people all over Seattle and by a few tattoo books I'd bought recently, and just...by the atmosphere over there, and a bunch of bluejays in the bird feeder back home.  So I went crazy and made her an honestly cool character.  She's kinda chubby and small-chested, and I like it.  Her tattoos are all asian-themed now and I actually took the time to design them.  I threw on a TON of bird feathers, kept her hands which change color with HEAT as to MOOD but instead of dumb pawprints shaped like X's, she's got splatter markings.  Bird hands, birdlike feet.  Feathers and stumps of undeveloped wings, ridges of feathers that can raise and lower.  I love her now.
I'm making a few adoptables and some of them will be bird-dogs like her.
I was afraid to post the redesign for a long time. I  was kind of secretly convinced that I'd accidentally made her more like Tristan or more like another character, one I didn't even know existed or something...which was stupid, so I just went ahead with it.  Only for some time, I'd had Triina with new hair and a tweaked design that was acceptable to both of us.  She just fell to the wayside and I redesigned her to have something cute to draw.
She's got a totally different attitude too.  I mellowed her out like woah, and made her just...way cuter, way more fun, and less...gross and slutty.  She might join a riot grrl group that would then be around where Bad Spider and I Read the Giver play (I Read the Giver is read as in, past tense: I have read the Giver).  She's a fan of them and that's a shirt design I hope to make for real someday.

A really fun picture of Sid from alllll the way back in Summer again, when I was in Kentucky!  I love the pose...so sassy. She's my grey and white pit bull girl.  Fauxhawks ftw.  She's really damn cute and may be in a band with Triina.  in any case, she's friends with her if nothing else.  

The rest of the stuff is under the cut.
