If I've done my job, Nanase gives off a "I've already had so many potions" vibe in panel one. If not, maybe you're thinking it now! HA!
Commentary
"Chicken Chaser" is a nickname you can have in Fable, I believe you can kick chickens in spite of not being able to kick anything else, the opening cinematic for Fable III involves a chicken, and the game also includes a chicken suit you can wear, which may or may not be necessary for a quest? It's been a while.
Point is, panel three isn't kidding.
Oh no shrinking...!
I worried far too much about how I was going to handle panel two. This was a result of me thinking "oh noes, how do I show this if their gear doesn't shrink with them?"
And then I remembered a) it's magic, it can work that way if I want it to, and b) I'm making fun of video games. It's totally keeping with that for them to default to boxers and such. That won't apply to every game in existence with removable armor and clothing, but it applies to the majority, darn it.
That's also my excuse for Ashley and Grace's hair remaining tied. If you choose a ponytail in character creation, it's like having an actual tail on your head. It's not going anywhere.
Well, in some games you might be able to get haircuts, or wear a hat that'll make it mysteriously vanish, and stuff like that, but you hopefully get what I mean.
Speaking of haircuts in video games, did you know barbers can instantly grow out your hair if that's the style you want? It's true! With no explanation! Which is better than not allowing it, but if someone's going to do that in a science fiction or fantasy game, there may as well be an in-universe explanation. It would be fun.

Sometimes there is a perfectly good explanation as to why something that sounds silly works. For instance, here is the reason why chain mail bikinis provide thoroughly awesome full body protection. Snerk. https://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/fiction/74196/goddess-chainmail-bikinis

I find the chicken saddle at -1.27 chicken very interesting. *sage bob*

so glad shrink potions didn't get left out

I look forward to future pinup posts, but as long as we're getting *something* EGS I don't mind if various content forms go on hiatus off and on.

Ashley is 33% normal size, Grace 25%, Elliot 15%, and Tedd 10%. Relatively speaking, these are pretty big differences in size ;)

Well, for one thing, it would cost a clothing slot.

I love that the boys are so much smaller than the girls, but I also love the absurd chicken potion! Though if Sarah had been there and had a panicked expression I would have appreciated the call back. (When she first transformed and could only mew)

Bawk bawk! Bawk.

I believe there's a research paper on that subject somewhere... ah, here it is! https://isotropic.org/papers/chicken.pdf

Bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk? BAWK! Bawk bawk bawk bawk bawk.

I'm working on a work schedule that should work for working on pinup work soon. For some reason, I became determine to work the word work into that sentence a lot. Anyway, I should be able to start posting new ones next week.

It makes perfect sense that hair ties would remain. That's "hairstyle" not "clothing". Do you know how much more it would cost to make a hair tie "clothing"?

That reminds me, when was the last pinup? Cow Sarah in late August?
Paul Lenoue
And if anyone kicks you while you're acting like a chicken, the entire town will chase them down and beat them to death.

That Amazonian Nanase...kinda wish there were a pinup of her
