Eliza has always been my favorite character that @ninlil.bsky.social created many years ago! (Click image for description) I am grateful for the permission to use her for ideas with my rpg party! This commission was drawn by an artist who wishes to be anonymous. Link is below: x.com/ArtGuruGuru

I am further grateful that Ninlil even gave me permission to use Eliza Tolvenr for my stories in a separate AU Canon. Ninlil added a description for Eliza being immortal in a shelved scenario they thought of before:

"At some point I considered a possible story for Eliza, where within a couple years (from their own story), trouble began to pop up, eventually leading to the reveal of a brewing threat to their world. (A sort of infection of their world tree.) In the end they were able to temporarily solve it and Eliza was granted a wish, which she considered using to free her children from her cursed pregnancy, but ultimately used the wish to become a sort of immortal custodian so that there will be somebody to confront the world threat when it inevitably returns."

With this working plot for this AU, I'd like to use it to include with my own canon for Eliza after becoming immortal. In this plot, she outlived for many years and centuries where her wife had naturally passed away due to old age including their family, friends, and their party they've adventure with....she was the only one still alive, and still appearing as her young 27 year old self and had outlived her loved ones...all who are left to keep her company are her unborn children...at some time later, she would travel different planes of dimensions and came across a world where it is overrun by Monster Girls, but some can learn to live with humans and create hybrids. Here, Eliza would spend some of her free time teaching her magic to anyone willing to be sorcerers of such. And one of her students is a curious and optimistic young girl who was 11 years old and with a voracious appetite, Margarite Byrne. Eliza finds it cute how this girl refers to her as "Teacher Eliza".

About a decade had passed, Margarite had grown to be a beautiful young woman and skilled sorceress at 21. Margarite had been Eliza's favorite student and is also viewed like a daughter for the immortal woman.

Just so I'm not totally dead art-wise this month, I did finish a drawing, but it came off as too much of a "bad end" scenario, so I felt obligated to draw a good end to go with it. But I've only got a couple days off, yet went with a monstrous body in a wedding dress- No way I finish soon.

They're still as beautiful as ever. Also I don't draw a certain jellyfish's tentacles nearly long enough.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

So heavy and filled to the brim with budding life, every ponderous motion of my overladen body a struggle, where one wrong move could send me spiraling into labor, and enjoying every moment of this existence on the precipice. #fakebellyfriday

I've gotta stop writing comments saying I "finally" did/finished something, but it tracks that I use it so much considering the glacial pace at which I finish things.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I finally wrote up the story scenario for the first drawing in my Barinade monster girl sequence. Sorta fittingly that with how much I ended up delaying my Barinade work, that by now they're remaking Ocarina of Time- Gotta see that new Barinade 3D model.

Invoking Rule 34 two drawings in a row, let's go. Though that's basically most of my monster girl art already, isn't it- But in this case specific to fan art.

PoV: Drawing while heavily pregnant Surprise (or not) new member for #Fakebellyfriday I finally made the leap & got a fake belly & big boobs this year. Not one for photos though, & my small apartment full of work + arts & crafts supplies isn't photogenic. Want to sew costumes- Ambitious as always.

On another topic, I was thinking about possibilities for a game that could be a collab for preg OCs, because it would be a neat thing to have. What I ended up with is an over-complicated sorta RPG & management game. Pretty sure I'm the wrong candidate for a collab project- way too overambitious.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Looking at the fall work schedule with dread. It's where my comic projects slip into the void, never to be seen again until the next year. It only took a global pandemic to rescue the Caelia comic. The mystery Mage comic died in fall. The Aphid & Ant comic, well... about to run out of time again.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Sometimes I wonder if it'd be a good idea to try to make an isekai concept- something like "I was reborn as the evil broodmother, but I'm just not cut out for the role". Except I haven't had any real ideas, my sense of humor is too weak to pull it off, & the isekai scene is already flooded anyway.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

She was tasked with securing a spiritual stone, but that was unimportant. As a parasitic monster, she needed a strong host to ensure the success of her offspring, and also as a monster she was obliged to submit to those bearing power. But now things were amiss, and she could only wait nervously.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

And then I wonder why I can't pull internet numbers anymore- Also I need to make more Enamtila memes/reaction images/etc.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

I learned that there's actually a manga with an Alraune as the main character, & from what I've read so far it's pretty well up my alley. Unfortunately it was put on hiatus in '24, so I'm not counting on it being finished. Gotta appreciate those with monster girls as MCs, especially taur-types.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 09/08/2026

Higher res uploads of the pregnant not-quite-a-lamia drawn last year, since they're tangentially related to some day that I certainly have nothing to do with- Story for these drawings is back on the original post: bsky.app/profile/ninl...

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

Something else with Aiyana: I did a centaur anatomy study with her in 2017, including skeleton, muscles, & organs. Far from the first centaur anatomy study, but they all differ slightly. I kept reduced human hip bones because many muscles anchor to it, and went with double lungs for more capacity.

With it being the year of the horse, it's about time we got a new Aiyana drawing. And with the weather heating up, a modern-alt swimsuit felt appropriate. Bonus kicking version included: Those centaur foal can be some little menaces, as the beach seems to have gotten them excited. #pregnantart

Say, are there any fictional creatures, monsters, or even vehicles that people think would be a good candidate for a Nin-style monster girl? Preference for things that can be described as heavy/lumbering. ...Not that I've got time to draw any with my hands full as is, but still curious.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

I was supposed to do chores and stuff today, but instead I wrote out a five page story brainstorm for totally-not-Biollante- Unfortunately it's missing parts in the middle, which is always the weak point in my stories. Strong ideas for intro & climax/end, but figuring out the middle is tough.

020

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

There's a peculiar feeling/energy I seek when making characters & stories, but can never fully capture it. The result is that I keep thinking up more and more concepts trying to get there. Bit of a blessing & curse at the same time- Though 2 ideas get close enough that I'm contemplating them hard.

Was checking out Honkai Star Rail boss music and landed on Illwish. Plant-themed monster girl bosses hit hard; I need to take design notes.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

With the recent Eliza piece, it's worth mentioning that I had made another animated PoV before, through Anaesi's eyes. The original had water sound effects, but unfortunately isn't compatible on this site, and the video's master file was lost to an old computer. It's still available on DA though.

Eliza, but from her point of view as her and Katylin share a quiet moment together, with some slight disturbance from within the womb.

Not there yet, but starting to get a bit of life on screen.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

It's been nearly half-a-year and I haven't drawn a pregnant human character yet. Might be time to fix that... in a somewhat atypical way. Well, in typical "Nin be doing too much" fashion though, so not anything quick.

0120

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Having the entry-level game engine be designed for multiplayer is not doing any favors in this regard. Also the creature sim genre in general tends to leave a lot to be desired. That said I'm harder to please than the typical gamer- ...or fetishist.

170

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

There's something about the combination of exhaustion and pent-up horniness that results from a work crunch that lends itself well to being inspired for new character ideas. If only I didn't already have way more ideas than I could possibly handle...

One last drawing featuring a Balloon Molly mermaid to wrap up MerMayternity. At a glance she may look double pregnant, but that fish belly is simply swollen with no organs inside. A peculiar trait they have been bred for, so they only know life in an aquarium, yet still wonder of beyond the glass.

1354

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 27/05/2026

Trying to squeeze in one last mermaid drawing before May ends, even though all the remaining days are work days- Also something not quite as aggressively niche as the other two.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Ever eager to please, Amaris plays the role of maid and delivers a meal prized by her people. However it reeks, as it's most likely fermented, given an aquatic species is unlikely to use fire. Amaris herself appears bothered; not by the smell, but by her own pregnant body lurking below the surface.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Something I really ought to be doing is building a library of 3D props. Take a more long-term approach to art and get some more Blender practice in the process.

040

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

It's time for the pregnant MerMaids of MerMays past to make their reappearance as I work on this year's MerMaid. Last year I missed it (apparently 2021 too), but can't let that happen twice in a row. Same drawings as last year's summary, but should be higher res now.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

I only just learned that image uploading here got upgraded. It sounds like there's a 4k, 2MB limit now, where it was a 2k, 1MB limit before. Definitely a boon for the types of big-bodied monster girls I draw. No more having to make separate lower resolution images for here. (Mostly)

020

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

Overambitious like usual, but I got a pregnant mermaid drawing done. This one features a Sea Cucumber gal and her Pearlfish companion, plus a story blurb. Also this drawing uses a cutaway for a change, since #unbirth is part of this. For those unfamiliar, some Pearlfish hide in Sea Cucumber butts.

0150

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Being into epic dramatic content, but- Can't just drop a solo piece of art and expect to achieve that. Need to build up a good scenario through multiple pieces/ long-form content, but- That'd take a lot of time. Gotta finish something, so draw fluff instead, but- Inspired for drama, so stall out.

120

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

It's the month of May, and that means mermaids. Pregnant mermaids! ...Maybe. I only managed one drawing last year despite a head start, while I've barely even started this time. But my job schedule looks a little lighter, and I'm not trying to shade a jellyfish again, so hopefully I can manage.

1182

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

I felt like drawing that previously previewed plant gal, so here she is. Though there's supposed to be another plant gal beside her that I still need to draw, then write up a proper introduction for their story. Can't let these plant gals' immobility stop me from giving them stories.

0140

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Since I'm still away from home, here's a bit of Nin pencil work for a change, something I rarely do when around my computer. My lines aren't very steady, so paper is usually reserved for roughly exploring ideas, but I tried something a little more refined this time. Also another plant gal.

190

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

May is coming up fast, so I had better start thinking mermaids, especially after last year's poor showing. (I actually had a head start then, but work and painting the jellyfish wrecked me.) Leaning towards echinoderms this time, bringing a bit of bottom-dweller variety.

020

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Like clockwork, I draw one panel of comic, then get exiled by my job again. It's time to read the writing on the wall: that comics are not a thing I can do anymore. Unless I want to scribble them out, but my scribbles are pretty bad. Otherwise gotta switch to more text-oriented projects.

140

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

The only Nin Easter drawing to date, featuring Astelis. Without being a big egg person, Easter hasn't resonated much with me. I don't think Astelis has been posted here yet, but she's pregnant with two babies, one in each breast, mmyep. Controlling monstrous plants is also her shtick.

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

Something I really ought to do is make an animated PoV of at least one of my broodmother characters. ...But it feels like I'd need a 3D model to have any chance of getting it right, which is no small task.

060

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Vessel of Rebirth: A concept from 2024 ("possessed by a snail"), which I outlined a comic for, but then shelved it because the story & characters were lacking. I finally wrote out a proper backstory, which helped figure out the characters, but am still going to write this project off as scrapped.

2130

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

Today I took a shot at designing the bioship for my game concept. Rather than going for a taur-style body like usual, I tried blending the human and monster bodies, resulting in this atrocity. The game concept has been coming together, though there's the big IF regarding if it's actually any good.

1140

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

"I should draw something quick, gotta choose a human character" keeps turning into "Need more broodmother." This is not a recipe for success when my job schedule only leaves me one day to draw... but we also need more broodmother for sure.

171

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

TIL that the reason I keep stumbling upon comics of vore on Pixiv by Chinese artists, where the prey is tiny and fights their way out of the stomach, is because of the story of Princess Iron Fan from Journey to the West. (I'd rather something bigger, and lean more towards unbirth.)

140

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Also I was thinking last night that while I've had some game ideas, they're all ambitious ideas, and game making is supposed to start small. But what sorta small game could I come up with? I ended up with an idea of a game about a bioship. (With womb of course.) Though that means quite monstrous-

240

Ninlil @ninlil.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Felt like drawing action, but ended up drawing part of a sequence which is still missing the beginning, so for now a preview will have to do. She's an older boss monster, but should be recognizable from this alone- for those familiar with it. ...Still haven't figured out a good story ending though.
