New art and new stories: The Gifted Child 5 by Jaypat, Hunter: Glimpse by Aardvark, and Mister Nice Guy by muscl4life

Couple of things:

First off, here's a big thank you to PrideSites for giving the site more space. Since July I've been actively looking for ways to keep the site going, and even just last week I had considered moving out some of the stories to make room, but thankfully now I don't have to do that for a long, long time. I also would like to take this opporunity to thank Changes and CYOC.net for hosting my drawings, which take up a hella lot of space too, and Blogger.com for keeping the archive going. As for my morphs, well... maybe there's a way I can get some of them back online.

And second, whenever my internet connection at home dies, so does my drive for drawing, but since things have been stable for the past two weeks, I can feel some of my enthusiasm returning, and I'll start things off again with a few Muscle Makeovers, this one of mann007 in the left pic who incidentally made the scary-ass rendition of me ala Sin City in the picture to the right.
