'Ups And Downs'

If a problem seems insurmountable, try a different approach...Tots x

'Dream Date'

I'm a typical woman - I can make up my face but I can never make up my mind :)Tots x

ABitOfTotty post June Preview... from patreon

Thismonth, I'll be attempting to reach peak fitness by mountain climbing, I'll be taking part in a rigged beauty contest and enjoying all the fun of the fair. Lots of new comics on the way - stay tuned!Tots x

'Pasta La Vista'

Ahhhhh, June the first - the perfect time to eat outside. Well, maybe not for me...Tots x

Pin-up - 'Catch Of The Day'

Hello there,I haven't posted one of these comparison pin-ups for a while. Trying to recreate a pose from an illustration is no easy task. In this case, my feet just don't bend that way in these heels. Also, I must confess to employing a little digital trickery in this one - I had to cut myself in half to improve my posture. Luckily my arm hides the join. Ssssh, don't tell anyone :)Oddly, the hook doesn't have any bait attached, so I suspect this particular fishing trip will prove to be rather fruitless. Or fishless 🐟Totty x

Extra Bits - Stripes

Setting the camera up high for a bird's eye view. Also, I've swapped checks for stripes in my latest comic - posting on Friday :)And don't worry - my arms haven't fallen off 💪Tots x

Single - 'Heart Trouble'

What's up Doc? ♥️🩺Tots x

'Rocky Road'

Getting my rocks off in this one...Tots x

'Sew And Sow'

There are plenty of plants sprouting in my garden right now - unfortunately they're mostly weeds 🌱 As you can see, my thumbs are certainly not green - they're white ;) T x

'Sale Away'

Hello there,I managed to shoot some new photos yesterday - looking a little peaky but back in action. More comics on the way later this week :)Tots x

Extra Bits - Background Design

I'm not sure how interesting this is, but I thought I'd show you a random selection of backgrounds that I've been working on for the last week or so. I usually shoot the photos first and then draw the backgrounds to match the poses, so it's a bit strange to see a Totty comic without Totty!I use a limited palette of just 18 colours to keep all my comics looking consistent. The colours are quite desaturated to make the comics feel a little old and faded. I always endeavour to match my outfits and makeup to this palette too - I eve...

Update and Extra Bits - 'May Pole'

Hello there,I'm so sorry for the radio silence for the last few days - I usually aim to post three or four times a week but I've been slightly derailed by ill health recently. I won't bore you with the unpleasant details, but I've been dealing with a nasty infection and I've lost about 12 pounds. I've been trying to shoot some new comics over the last few days but they didn't really work out. I don't feel particularly glamorous at the moment - my clothes are hanging off me. In fact I look pretty awful :(So, what ...

'Growing Up'

Here's another comic I originally made last year. I wasn't too happy with this one at the time - the joke is a bit weak and I appear to have my eyes closed in most of the panels. Maybe I was tired when I shot this?😴I'll be back in front of the camera this weekend, so lots of new stuff on the way soon. Thank you for your patience this week :)Tots x

'Dog Gone'

Hello there,Please forgive me... I'm still feeling a little under the weather, so I haven't been able to shoot any new photos this weekend. But fear not, I still have a couple of comics for you this week - albeit, rejected strips from last year :)I made this comic about a year ago, shortly after I introduced Spotty into the strip. I decided I wanted him to pop up a few more times, so I held this one back to post at a later date. As time passed, my lighting and posing improved and I didn't think this comic was quite up to scratch.So ...

Sunday Single - 'A Cut Above'

Unlike most of my female friends, I hate having my hair cut and hair salons fill me with dread. I think it's the inane small talk combined with noisy hair dryers and terrible acoustics. Plus there's always a sense that things could go horribly wrong at any minute. Gulp.I may have to shave my head👩‍🦲Tots x

Extra Bits - Multi-Leia-ed

Here's an alternative, slightly more cheerful Leia pose.Also, here's a link to another one of those infinite canvas videos that I'll be releasing tomorrow for Star Wars Day. It uses some of the same elements as the previous Leia post, but without the blurry QR code :)https://youtu.be/C0p4f5dVa9U?si=16qkT1QOWQFmyYmgTots x

'Break Light'

Hello there,Sorry for the lack of interaction this week. I've had such a terrible migraine that I couldn't even look at a screen - I've been lying in a dark room for three days. Luckily I had a couple of posts already scheduled, but I haven't been able to respond to comments or messages and I've fallen a bit behind with my shooting schedule. Feeling a bit brighter today so hopefully I'll be back on track soon.T x

MAYDAY! (Early Star Wars Day Post)

Terrible news! This is my darkest hour. I have been captured by the evil Galactic Empire™ and imprisoned somewhere within their dreadful superweapon, the Death Star™. Shortly before my incarceration, I was able to transmit these secret plans to you. Please download this high-resolution image and study it closely... hopefully you will be able to find my location and save me from a fate worse than death.Help me Patre-On... you're my only hope.Princess Totty™ x

May Preview

May is on the way - time to get my buns out again...Tots x

'Horseplay' - 100th Comic Strip!

Hello there,They say that bicycles and horses are the most difficult things to draw and I would have to agree! I've already made a bicycle strip, (Bikery) so I thought it was high time for a horsey comic. They are rather tricky to capture, (especially round the ankles), but I had a lot of fun drawing this comic... even if my majestic mare looks more like a cow 🐎🐄Totty x

Patreon - Year One

Hello there!It's my Patreon's first birthday today - I can't believe I've been doing this for a whole year! Time flies when you're having fun and I've had a blast making comics and pin-ups for you during the last twelve months.The image above shows title panels of the 100 comic strips I've made thanks to your patronage - I'm just working on the 100th right now! I'd love to know which strip is your favourite, so do let me know in the comments :)Thank you so much for your continuing encouragement and support - ...

'Light Reading'

My Patreon will be one year old later this week - here's a tenuous little comic to celebrate the occasion :)Totty x

'Date Knight'

Here's a short strip I've just completed to mark St. George's Day tomorrow - it started life as a simple three panel comic but somehow expanded into five. I'll be posting this on my socials tomorrow but of course you lovely Patrons get to see it a day early :)Also, I did consider calling it 'That's Armor-e' 🗡♥️Totty x

'Endless Loop'

Have a lovely Sunday y'all :)Tots x

Extra Bits - Bunny-Girl: Imposter Poster!

Hey Bunny Fans🐰A word of warning... I was out shopping this morning and was shocked and horrified to see a huge poster full of scantily clad Bunny-Girl imposters. This is clearly the work of some dastardly super-villain. These are inferior clones designed to confuse the public and damage my reputation - do NOT approach them as they look extremely dangerous.Bunny-Girl x

'Moneybags'

Hello there,I bought a set of new LED lights recently and this was the first comic I shot using them. I usually try to light myself with minimal shadows - as flat and cartoony as possible, so that I fit better into the cartoon world. At first, I thought the new setup worked well, but as I started adding the photos to the backgrounds I noticed my skin had an odd yellowish tint which made me look like a sickly Minion. I've tried to colour correct as much as I can but I'm not too happy with the end result.So, I've gone back to the old ...
