Happy New Year, y'all!
Thank you all so so much for your amazing Pin Up suggestions! Now it's time to vote for me to draw one of them! I reserve the right to take some creative liberties, but will do my best to honor the spirit of the suggestions selected!Voting will end on January 5th 9:00am, and after the selection is picked, I will have the top Pin Up completed as soon as possible!
Without further ado, here are this month's contestants!
1.) 今年是马年 (Jīnnián shì mǎ nián): A few members of the Sala city coven (Not naming who) are not doing too hot academically. More specifically, in their Mandarin classes, when they signed up for the class, they didn’t think that taking a language course would be so difficult. Doesn’t help that their professor is an old grouch. So, in a bit of pettiness, and once confirming he is an egg, they decide to collectively crack him. But one of them has a certain Gacha Horse girl game on the mind. And their professor becomes a milfy horse gal in the middle of class, and in front of her daughter! Startled, she runs (really fast) to the only person she knows who knows horses, the school's athletics coordinator, who oversees the equestrian club (Tall, confident, muscular Mommy, by the way). After talking, our Mare calms down and gets asked out for dinner, dinner becomes wine, and wine leads to, well, you know what. Needless to say, Professor Rosalind Mǎ is now in a much better mood. (btw, for those who don’t get it, the joke is that the Chinese characters for Horse (马, Mǎ) and Mom (妈, Mā) sound the same but just have different tones, and it's common for early Mandarin speakers to be horrible with tones, and it's 2026, the year of the horse)
2.) From Russia, With Fluff: During the Cold War, Soviet Russia developed a super soldier program to create soldiers who could survive a potential nuclear winter by infusing their men with Polar Bear DNA. However, thanks to their source of DNA coming from a female polar bear all the test subjects became polar bear women. Nevertheless the project was technically successful and Russian Polar Bear Girls were a common sight in the armed forces. They also functioned well as literal poster girls. Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, many polar bear girls have settled into a more domestic lifestyle.
3.) The Game of Life-Changing / “I’m not trying to lose so I get to stay as a totally awesome girl, you are!”: A pair of board game loving eggs accidentally acquire a cursed 1950’s era Game of life-type game that really alters your life, which promptly turns them into girls. Due to both being unwilling to admit that they love being girls and their fear of the ‘reward’ of turning back by winning, both end up self-sabotaging. One becomes a traditional ditzy Bimbo who happens to be a world-leading astro-physicist and the other a punk muscle-mommy architect and homemaker. Who are married to each other. Frustrated, the conservative 50’s style game reveals to them with the fact that neither will turn back if they don’t finish soon. Instead of turning on each other like it hoped, the woman decide to embrace their new lives together.
4.) Hero Rehab: The Storyteller and the Scribe A nasty old wizard and his lowly house-elf familiar have discovered a hidden library containing an ancient book with many fantastical tales of humans and monsters overcoming trials great and small alongside each other. The wizard, a brutal realist who has thoroughly embraced King Saberon’s anti-monster propaganda, declares the book to be naught but heresy and tries to burn it to ashes, only for it to reconstruct itself the minute he leaves the room in search of more practical old books. Seeing that there is clearly more to this book, and in no mood to deal with his master’s temper, the house-elf decides to read the book himself, partaking of every story and every lesson contained within. And when he is done, he finds a blank section near the end, asking him to write a story of his own. So, he writes of his fears, his suffering, and his wishes; to be a wise and beautiful sorceress, to have a master he can be proud of, and that his current master might learn some humility. When it’s all done, he feels hope for the first time in a long time, and understands the true nature of the book’s magic: the art of storytelling, the oldest and purest form of magic in the universe, capable of crafting fantasies that influence reality. In that moment, the book recognizes him as worthy, the story he wrote becomes reality, and both wizard and house-elf find themselves in the Demon King’s castle with their roles (and species) exchanged, and the Demon King welcoming them into his service!
5.) Sleepy Sheepy: Local insomniac and closet trans girl uses a cute, sheep shaped, fluffy pillow to sleep one night. Upon waking up, she finds herself as a big, fluffy, plushie sheep girl (with a cute lil nightcap and/or a risqué nightgown for a spicy version). Her dream boyfriend (who is just his roommate who now shares the much bigger bed they now have) wakes up next to her after both had a wonderful dream. Turns out anyone who decides to sleep on or next to her will have the magical effect of being able to fall asleep instantly and always have sweet dreams. If you can't sleep, you can count (on) her!
