No more chibis, it's time for a new character!!!Here is Secretary bird, drawn by Chitei! I've started working with him a few months ago, and he's been doing incredible jobs upon incredible jobs! ^^Secretary bird's mods were Office lady, Pear-shape / Pixar mom, and Clothes unzip with rank. I actually was a bit bummed out that Pear-shape / Pixar mom won at first since I was thinking of making her legs extra thin. After I thought of the kicking pose though, everything clicked together! HUGE! The office lady aspect coupled with martial arts was a lot of fun too. Very happy with the idea of the ponytail and the various ways I used the Secretary bird crest feathers also ^^Now too be clear, Chitei VASTLY enhanced her pose, my initial draft is fine but the final result turned out so incredibly good, it's not even comparable. It's truly a pleasure working with him. Please support/follow him if you can! ^^I hope you'll like her as much as I do! ^^By the way, when it comes to poll order, Secretary bird is actually one of the most recent winners (#46 out of 50 polls so far)! I won't be following any particular order when it comes to reveals :B
Here are all the monstergirl ranks (BOOBS!!!):

Now, this devlog is going to be very short...!If you've read the last devlog, you might remember I was planning to move in May. This is something I've been talking about for pretty much a year now, and it finally happened about 10 days ago! As you'd expect this was a very busy time for me, and it took time not just to move but also to actually settle in little by little. Lots of firsts for me! So BEW related work had to slow down for a bit there, and I mostly focused on directing upcoming characters and writing ref docs. I've just about gotten into the swing of things now though, I think!
The plan was to get back to coding after I moved, and it turns out the GameMaker version I'd been waiting for has just been released! Perfect timing ^^I've been working on art stuff for so long, it'll surely feel a bit weird to code again... Even more so considering I'm not quite used to the GameMaker 2 interface yet, but I'll get there. It's very exciting! ^^If you remember the most recent BEW update, the Optimization update, you might remember it had 2 new big issues that I couldn't do anything about: The cursor stutter bug, and the tab in bug. Great news: after testing the new GM2 update (LTS 2026), I can confirm the tab in bug has been fixed!And not just that, but the cursor stutter bug only affected a few people, including GS. I was able to trigger through some specific actions before, and after this new update, neither me nor GS were able to replicate it! Some more testing will be needed, but as far as I can tell these bugs are a thing of the past! I'm very very happy ^^
Though of course, I also did things before the move! Exactly what I said I would in the previous devlog in fact: All the monstergirls I considered difficult to design, have now been designed!!!The last 3 I needed to figure out were Crab girl, Invisible girl, and Kitsune 2. And not only are their designs done, but I'm extremely happy with all three! Invisible girl in particular might now be one of my favorites. Can't wait to show everything I've been doing ^^
So yeah! Lots of personal things this month, taking some time to see my family, preparing, moving, figuring things out... Weirdly enough, I've been feeling more stressed by not being able to work as much as usual than by the actual move. But well, I'll have a lot more to talk about next time!
And now, the poll stuff!
The next illustration poll has begun! The theme this time is [Pose set]! One character, three poses ^^You can vote in the Discord server if you are a 2$+ patron! Here are the current theme and submissions: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Drz4UD09YftgaihcwWq6McqiFTa2l77XJ9oBJ0hfDco
