Don't say you're sorry
You'll never have to be alone
I'm in on your actions
There's no hope for you to atone

You'll never know this pain inside
No lie
This heart will only heal in time
The clock is tickin' the fear away so

Take me to the river and run
I'm divin' in
You'll see where it begins
You're lost when I fall in
So lead me to the brim
Where my breaking point is thin
You try to pull me in
Like fire in the wind
But I
I'm deep in shallow waters
I feel it pouring over, over

To the River - Pentatonix

This picture has a humorously sad story! I have been dealing with a lot of physical pain lately, mostly in my back and shoulders. I've always had chronic pain there, but it was somehow worse a couple weeks back after a long stint at my day job. The pain was so excruciating one night I couldn't get ANYTHING done. I started half a dozen pictures and comics but kept stopping. I fell into a sort of pain-induced delirium at like 4am. Somehow this image came into fruition during it?! I can't remember it clearly at all lol It doesn't surprise me that it was a picture of Akemi that calmed me enough to get to a finishing point, though.

But it's such a great image! It's one of my favorites of this year. Why does my agony craft good stuff?? EVIL!

I had never drawn an image of Akemi flying before. Technically this is still not him flying but sssh

Oh man! I designed this gal MONTHS ago but never posted her online anywhere past my AD twitter.

The long and short of it is she is an alternate fursona that can be used in adult artwork since I don't feel comfortable using my personal sona in such things. I had a DikDik sona I never used or posted and I kinda mushed her together with a noodley dragon so I can draw saucy art of her with Akemi LOL I also ALWAYS wanted a giraffe sona but I never bothered to try making one. So I gave her giraffe spots to fill in that desire.

• She CAN be used in SFW artwork too, she's not exclusively naughty!

• She is roughly 5'6" tall, but she can shift around a bit. She's so long it's kinda hard to figure out lol

• She has no set personality atm, but I tend to draw her in dominant positions.

• I will be particularly hesitant to have feral porn of her so I suggest not trying for that if you have any ideas to propose (personal preference).

As the note in the top right says, please do not draw her in NSFW content without asking me first! SFW art should be fine, though!

Her NSFW reference can be found on my FurAffinity page.

Silly Patreon reward illustration from a long time back that I still like a lot!

Ever since I beefed up Akemi I can’t unsee this meme. It had to be done.
