Furry ticklepocalypse

“HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!”

Wait, who are you?

“Allow me to introduce myself; I’m Inspector Fox of the Yahoo content police, Tumblr division, Special Flying Squad.”

FLYING FOX OF THE YARD?! “SHUT UP! Now listen here, canary. You are nicked!”

What for?

“I’m arresting this entire blog on account of being in violation of the Not In Front Of The Children Act.”

The what?

“You are hereby charged that you did post content to this blog, that is images, animations, or text, of a pornographic nature that was meant to entice arousal in the greater Tumblr userbase.

“Evening, all.”

So yes, as you’ve probably heard, Tumblr has decided to shoot itself in the head. Their solution to getting rid of the flood of porn bots (some of which are using the art posted to this very blog) has been to...get rid of NSFW content altogether.

(See this is why you never sell your company to Yahoo)

To my knowledge, nothing on this blog has been flagged/blacklisted/etc. I don’t know how much longer we’ll be able to beat the odds, but it seems as of December 17th it’ll all be a moot point. Even if this blog is left standing in the wake, Tumblr simply won’t be a suitable hosting site for this content anymore.

Unless, they change their minds before the 17th. Given the amount of backlash I’ve seen, that’s a possibility.

At any rate, should worse come to worse, this blog will have to find a new home. I’m evaluating several options right now and I’ll get back to you when I make my decision. Also I will do my best to archive everything that’s been posted here so we don’t lose a thing.

Well another art flood done. And now It’s time to kick back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the-wait, Ash?! Light?! Who let you two out of the-

GAHAHAHAHAHA ASH DOHOHOT TIHICKLE ME HEHEHE HHEHE HHEHEHAA HAHAA NO NOT THERE LIGHT HHAHAHAHAHAHA HAAHAH STHAHAP THAHAT!

Well while Helios is getting what’s coming to him from Ash and Light, I’d like to take a moment to speak to you all out of character to explain why I’m doing these art floods.

Part of the reason is a while back I found out that art floods tend to get a much bigger response that just individual pics being posted, at least in terms of likes/reblogs/faves/etc. I thrive on feedback so any chance I can maximize it, I will. 

But it has more to do with the fact that I’m easily distracted by work and SFM stuff and events in my own life, so it may comes to pass that I’ll commission a pic, forget about it, and then stumble across it and remember I need to post it.

So for all intents and purposes, it’s just more convenient for me to post a bunch of art all at once. It can be a pain typing in witty descriptions for each pic and cutting and pasting (and in DA’s case, censoring) them across multiple platforms, but I’m not going to let that stop me.

So thank you all for joining me for this year’s annual fall offering, and please remember the terrible lessons you’ve learned from these pics.

And if the doorbell sounds and no one’s there, that wasn’t a ghost.

It’s Halloween.

Holy crap! An actual animation?! What is this madness?!

A few months ago, I commissioned my friend, your friend, our friend Crow for an animation of Rana getting tickle tortured. I expected a simple flash loop and what I got instead was an honest to God animation! Wow! 

Yes, I’ll be going back for more (much to Rana’s chagrin I imagine).

Hey remember how Lightikea was kinda sorta retired as a char due to unforeseen circumstances? Well it seems those reports were greatly exaggerated.

Or, she came back for me because I’m such a nice guy. It’s probably that, yeah.

Anyway, what better way to welcome her back than by giving her a nice fully body tickle torture. And while we’re at it, let’s throw in the new star of the show, Ash, as well! Remember how I said there were some chars I’ve been meaning to get for a while? She’s one.

Hey while you’re here, y’all really should go and commish Ash. She does great art, and you’re helping her put food on the table. She’s got twins to look after now!

When I said I there can never be enough legendary tickles, I meant it. And that especially includes Lugia. I mean, he’s only my favorite Pokemon!

Remember how I said on the Ans comic that certain moods strike me? Well I was in such a mood when I got this pic from AK. And now we have one buff ticklish Lugia guy! I’m starting to think I should get in this mood more often.

Another coloring attempt as well, the last one of the pics I have to upload tonight. I may have gone a...tad overboard on the dialogue. 

Now I know what you’re thinking. “What the hell is the point of the second pic? Why does that Lugia have the most edgelord color scheme imaginable?”

Well let me answer that question with a question.

Did you know I have a Lugia form?

It’s true! Way back in my younger days (right after I discovered my transformation fetish) I was experimenting with a variety of forms. Phoenix still won out as the main one, but Lugia came in a close second. And while I use Lugia for many a tickle RP (for reasons that must seem all too obvious), I’ve rarely gotten art of him.

Well, that’s finally changed. And if reception is positive, I’ll be sure to get more of Lugios (as my guy Swissy dubbed him) getting it good in the future!

Hmm. It’s been about an hour or so since we tickled Firebird. Let’s get her again!

Another pic from AK, this time of Firebird getting stripped and tickled by some really naughty ghost hands! The poor birdy!

Another coloring attempt here as you can see. I actually think I did a pretty good job with this one. Also experimenting some more with the dialogue in the background. 

Now that I think about it, what exactly is holding Firebird’s arms up? Could a certain birdgal like this more than she lets on? Hmm...

So now I’ve ended up in a totally different dungeon (I think, they all kind of blur together after a while) and I’m stuck in yet another tickle machine. How does this keep happening?!

Incidentally enough, the name for this artist amuses me and really makes me think that I should have known what I signed up for. They’re also doing cheap YCH’s so be sure to check them out!

And right back to doing the tickling! Aren’t I a busy bird?

Seems this lizard guy here was snooping around some castle or other, and they needed an expert at making folks talk! I’d say they called the right bird!

Oh and apparently there’s some rule about mandatory nudity in this place...

Even with all this extra muscle, I still end up in the stocks somehow! 

This might be my first pic drawn by someone who lives in China. If anyone knows anything about tickle torture, it’s those guys, ya?

How about that. Another instance of Helios actually doing the tickling? Stop the presses!

Aeva: "DAHAHAHAHAHAMMIHIHIHIT HEHEHEHEHELIOHOHOHOHOHOOOOS!!!!"

Well that’s not very nice. So here I am working over this cute Jackal gal with a liberal application of my feathers. I think she rather likes them, don’t ya Aeva?

Aeva: "IHIHIHIHIHI'LL GEHEHEHEHEEEET YOUHUHUHUHU BAHAHAHAHACK!!!!"

You’re implying I’m letting you go free. You’re gonna be here for a loooooong time, cutie!

“Hey wait a minute, you literally just uploaded a picture of some legendary birds getting it! You got another one?!”

I told you. Can never be enough legendary tickles. Ever!

So a question I get asked a lot is “How do I get my char in your pics?” Well as cliched as it may sound, my stance on that is “Don’t call me, I’ll call you.”

As hard as it might be for some of you to believe, I do tend to put some thought in who I choose as victims for my pics. I consider the general setting of the pic in question and decide which fur(res) would be best suited in that situation. I will admit that I tend to swing back and forth between my preferences at any given moments (usually male vs female victims) and that affects the process as well. 

The end result is that I try to be diverse with my victims, especially focusing on chars who don’t have a lot of pics. But, because of various factors I often end up rotating among a small roster of regulars and I end up neglecting chars that I’ve been meaning to get for some time (hi Kirisha).

Sometimes however, an idea is planted in my brain and it will not go away until it’s realized. This picture is one of those ideas.

My guy Frost Gryphon (who’s gryphoness character Sydney you may remember from last year’s Christmas art flood) has an OC named Ansfrid. He’s a hybrid canine, specifically a Norwegian bunhund and an Egyptian wolf. 

And he’s exactly the kind of furry boy who looks like he needs to be tickled until he howls. And that’s not something I say about guys very often.

So once I had the idea in my head, the conversation with Frost went something like this.

Me: I’m gonna tickle Ansfrid.

Frost: Wh-

Me: Specifically, I’m getting a picture of him tickled.

Frost: Wh-

Me: I’ve got an artist lined up and the pic is in the works.

Frost: Reee

The artist in question, the great Sketcher92, agreed with me that Ans needed to be tickled silly, and thus we have our little comic here. It originally was just gonna be the Wolfhund tickled by machines until Frost not-so-subtly suggested that the ticklers be Helios’ sisters. I figured “Well I haven’t ever shown them ganging up on a poor guy” so I agreed.

I know what you’re thinking by the way. “Sketcher doesn’t like drawing dicks. How did you get him to do it for you?”

Well, when you’re a nice guy, nice things happen to you.

Now, what to do next to the Wolfhund...

So a while back WufFeet opened up for commissions. I happen to think he’s an up-and-coming tickle artist and I was really impressed with the work he’d done so far, so I resolved to get a pic from him.

But I was really curious to see how he could handle female victims. And Firebird at the time was going through a rough patch and really needed a good laugh, so I decided to have him work her over. Then because I was feeling in a really generous mood, I elected to add a second victim. But who? 

As you all may or may not know, Firebird and I have several things in common besides being ticklish birds. One of them is our favorite pony is Vinyl Scratch.

And it occurred to me that despite the numerous SFM renders I’ve done of Vinyl (hell her appearance here is based off one of them), the number of pics I’ve commissioned of my pony waifu tickled was sitting at...one.

Well, now was as good as time as any to add to that number, right?

Honestly I really love this pic. Everything about it is just amazing. From the side panels showing the stripping, to the expressions, to the taunts painted on the poor gals, WufFeet knocked it out of the park. I can’t wait to commission him again!

So a while back, Borchen needed a third for a commission he was getting of some furry guys getting stripped and tickled. The only condition was that I had to get buff for it.

As you all know, I’m not exactly a bodybuilder, but I was curious to see how I looked. Gotta say I do like how this turned out! Really considering coming back to it in the future.

So here I am getting some fluffy tentacle tickles along with two of Borchen’s chars: a Gorilla (I’m amazed that these anthros exist in furrydom to be honest) and...I think it’s some sort of fish? I’m not sure? (Seriously, Canis, this is part of why I keep you around, you specialize in obscure victim types).

Tbh I’m not totally happy with my coloring jobs here, but deadlines wait for no one. Also I took some liberties with my color scheme, but I think I’m allowed to do that.

Of course all this does raise the question: why am I the only one actually getting tickled?

“wtf I don't even like birds. How is Helios so hawt.” -Borchen

...that might do it.

Hey look! A tickle pic that actually fits the holiday! (I’m listening to the War of the Worlds broadcast as I post these so that counts as being festive right?)

So the great artist eternal.knot announced a while back he was opening up requests for one last time and then closing them down for good. I’ve long been an admirer of his art and so I had to get in on this.

...and apparently, 128 other people had the exact same idea.

Seriously, I want to take a moment to really emphasize this. This guy took on 129 requests. And he did all of them. Try to name one other artist that would be able to accomplish such a feat. I’ll wait.

Anyway, this particular pic (which was request # 111 in the queue if you were wondering) shows a bunch of birds getting tickled by fiendish sci-fi type devices. Clockwise from the top right we have:

Firebird having her pits and tummy teased.

Ariane squirming as a tentacle probes her biologically inappropriate navel.

Yours truly also wrapped up in tentacles which are wiggling in my underarms.

Valk (who is not a distant cousin of Helios’) getting what he deserves for showing his feet off all the time.

Valencia getting her tummy tickled by a flying saucer.

And Jamal getting his talons worked as he tries to flee the scene. Or maybe that’s just how he’s bound?

...I just realized every bird in this pic (except Valk and Jamal) is a Phoenix. How do you like that?

So a while back I was talking with Val and I mentioned that I really should get some more pics of her tickled.

And then I remembered I already got one. One of her getting it good!

Another coloring attempt here by yours truly. I also experimented with adding some dialogue in the back. You’ve all probably noticed by now that I love tickle pics with dialogue!
