224 – Boxed Booms
HD + Textless | WIP
What happened earlier + Oblivion reference
So… those two sweaty girls from the previous page are taking a bath (thanks Haliya). I wonder if I should draw that hmmmmmmmmmmmmm?
These strips are small but since there’s a story now there’s a lot of thinking involved. I’m still bad and slow at writing, but there’s really only one way to get better!
Now, Page 199 mentions that her worshipers banned fireworks to not distract from “the glory that is the Moon”. Continuing from that idea, they’ll need people to do said prohibiting, so… forest rangers!
Are these Haliyan forest rangers real or fake? They’re real and working with, not for, the local municipal government. Both groups will benefit from protecting the forest from fire/works, illegal logging, etc., and helping hikers/campers. As for each group benefitting, the municipal won’t have to manage the forest or staff, while the Haliyans can keep people away from their village with some legal backing. The municipal don’t know where their village is though, and they’re wise enough to not piss-off them of a group that hunts monsters and have a warrior goddess leading them.
Being unmasked is tantamount to being naked, if not plain uncomfortable to Haliyans, so these forest rangers wear masks enchanted to look invisible to others. I’m not even sure when they’ll appear again after this Episode, but I imagine most Haliyans that leave their village will wear invisible masks like these. The tawlis also help them out in the forest rangers by spooking people with some scawy wind, or else just blowing them away with stronger gusts.

Blue Bunny Haliyan: Please forgive me for that misunderstanding my Goddess! If you need real fireworks, then...
Blue Bunny Haliyan: ...will these do? Our forest rangers confiscated these earlier.
Blue Bunny Haliyan: Only we can prevent forest fires after all!

myan luvs sosages
She really does! And this is totally just an innocent picture about how much Myan loves receiving hot n juicy sausages so it doesn’t need to be NSFW! I sure hope so anyway!
This was a stupid doodle I posted in Discord, but you can thank BlueDavrial for throwing a little something my way to color this. And this inspired Hothead to draw this also innocent artwork.
EDIT: My mom liked this in FB. Why.
Hibi-Hibi Awkward Seduction
Hibi-Hibi awkwardly seducing someone, as suggested by Yugo Ryan .
Seduced? Maybe. Charmed? Definitely.
It’s probably working since there was a lots of honking going on in Discord. Who knew Hibi’s hibihibis turned y’all into geese. 🦢
Molly Evans
Commission for Indi Skye , a rocker chick that’s one of their OCs.
EDIT: Oh yeah, aside from NSFW artwork, commissions’ HD+WIP should be free. Fixed!
I suppose I could require being a patron to view them if I really want to, but I dunno, it doesn’t feel right to me.
Hothead Chibi
Uncensored HD + WIP ($1+ patrons)
Early accessed by $1+ patrons on 8/25/2020
Also censored so I can post it here.
BlueDavrial has graciously used one of his chibi commissions for Hothead’s fursona.
femCruz Afterglow
Uncensored HD + WIP ($1+ patrons)
Early accessed by patrons on 8/24/2020
This is the censored version, had to remove some “details”.
A messy but happy femCruz after a fun time. Commissioned by BlueDavrial.
Alternate version with some “fuzz” available in the Patreon post.
Cyber Myan
“A waifu to surpass Metal Gear?!!”
A Cyber Myan suggested by Fishmeistercod. This was also a test run in streaming with new OBS Studio settings and that my computer has a Wifi adapter now.
And like I said in Discord, .clip file also included if you want to customize the colors on your own!
Black and red are the colors for my battle/workstation so… might as well use it for this one.
Features
- Created by the reclusive genius Professor H.
- Adorable and stylish design.
- Excellent build quality and manufactured from top-of-the-line Waifu™ material.
- Internet and Bluetooth connection.
- Wi-fi signal indicator. Just check the top of her head!
- Hi-fi ear speakers/microphones. She can’t hear while playing music though.
- Ultra high definition eye cameras for crystal clear photos and videos.
- Adaptable tail for charging, interfacing, aux, etc. She prefers charging by eating.
- Nanofiber hair can lengthen and shorten for various hairstyles.
- Hard light projectors with fabric emulation technology so you’ll never need to buy clothing again.
- Power button on the stomach. Be careful, she is ticklish and prone to scratching you.
- Jet boots for extra jumping height.
- IP99 rating for dust and water. However, she likes rolling around in dirt and hates water.
- Accepts voice commands… if she decides to listen to you.
- Manual buttons on her palms and fingertips. Also vibrates for massage function.
- Six-cylinder purring motors.
Problem Solved!
“‘That Tammy’s a werewolf’, ohoho, that’s funny, real funny, I am in tears.”
Worst-case scenario if Tammy’s stays a werewolf.
She’s fine with it… just fine. Can’t even tell with that (magical) mask on. Don’t all of us wear masks anyway?
I bought a longer table so that my Cintiq, keyboard, and mouse are all in one place. I should be able to work much more efficiently now although it’s gonna take some getting used to. RIP my old tables and Intuos4, you’ve served me well.
Sorry for the silence and lack of updates! A… family-related issue suddenly came up recently (some of you in Discord sorta know what happened), but it has been somewhat resolved. I’m currently working on the next Cat Nine page now, it’s gonna be a double page.
As for the unfinished AristoCat commissions in Patreon, I don’t mind carrying them over to August (in addition to August’s commissions) if I can’t finish them this July. I would appreciate you sending me the details of your commissions before the month ends though!
Uzaki
Uzaki from Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out!
I gave some free sketched chibis to last month’s AristoCats as thanks. This one was supposed to be for Indi Skye , but they’ve graciously given it to InfiniteBB, how generous!
Now, I can finally watch Uzaki the anime, which just came out. I resolved to finish this before watching it.
I’m treating this as a sketch commission so the HD version is free-for-all! And oh, I just found out with this artwork, it seems WordPress automatically scales down big images like this since it was originally 1966 x 3903. You can view the full size or download it in that Patreon link above!
Were’d Night
Artwork + WIP + RAR ($1+ patrons) | Download RAR for free (while it’s still in my Google Drive) | Discord
Heh, it took the 2nd NSFW commission to turn furry. Commissioned by John, thank you!
RAR file also includes untinted versions.
Satania
Look out, there’s a demon! And she’s sitting out there all smug-like!
Satania from Gabriel Dropout, as suggested by IndiSkye.
I used my Wacom Pro Pen 2, the stylus included with my Cintiq 16, for linearting and shading this.
I kept it aside and just used my old stylus since I was worried about the pen nibs running out for the Pro Pen 2. It’s baffling because the replacement nibs for it doesn’t seem to be available around here, at least not without ordering internationally from Amazon.
Anyway, I think it’s more of a waste to not use it, so here I’ll start using it from now on! It’s definitely more pressure-sensitive, though I’m not sure if some of you can tell from how I did the lineart here.
I also used the default Flat Marker tool for the shading.
1 Keith VS. 3 Girls (NSFW)
Artwork + WIP ($1+ patrons) | Download ZIP for free (while it’s still in my Google Drive) | Discord
Oh man, I don’t think Keith is getting out of this alive. 😏
It’s got different versions and the WIPs are included. A RAR file containing everything is also available.
Thanks to Red, BlueDavrial, and IndiSkye for commissioning me this! And Hothead for being extra helpful with the commission! I’m grateful enough to all of them to give these four a sketch chibi as an extra!
If the commissioners permit it, commissions will be publicly available and free to download, so be thankful to the guys above! It’ll be available in Patreon, Discord (pinned in #nsfw), and my Google Drive, if space permits.
So… this is my first actually NSFW piece that aren’t just nudes, and the cause of me marking my Patreon page as Adult Content. IMO this should be free to download for everyone since it’s a commission, but all NSFW stuff have to be patron-exclusive.
Welllll I hope this was worth it being cursed cause my hard drive crashed and SATA cable broke while I was working on this! At least this got me to upgrade to Windows 10 (from 8), and now I can use my Cintiq 16 with a higher resolution… and emojis! Oh, and more money, so that’s good!
Whywolf
HD + WIP + Textless ($3+ patrons)
Quick links to the flashbacks: pages 150, 161, 162
Basically a late page 203 bonus comic. These ideas usually come up before/during a comic page I’m working on, but sometimes they come way after.
Cute wolfie Tammies included below for your own use! It’s already pretty memeable by itself, and don’t be surprised if they get used as emojis and reacts in the future in our Discord cause they’re awfully cute if I do say so myself.
Art Stream 11 + Sketches
Forgot to post these.
- Art Stream 11. Was in the down low since it was impromptu. Follow me in Picarto so you won’t miss out on the next one!
- Myan milk tea: I think it was because someone mentioned the milk tea challenge in Discord. Oh, it’s apparently called Hands-free Bubble Tea/ Tapicoa challenge. We just call em “milk tea” here in the Philippines.
- boxes: Was trying to do a random drawing prompt. Boxes won out!
- Hakase: From Nichijou! Wanted to draw something from that since it ended a while ago. Sketched in this page in aggie.io. It’s disabled now though so no new drawings. Thanks to everyone who participated!
A bunch of important announcements, particularly for my Patreon.
Another Google AdSense ad replaced with Comicad
Comicad just recently started a beta for some sort of premium membership. With it, I can now place up to five ad units instead of three. For now, I’ve only replaced the AdSense responsive ad in the main content area with two half-banner ads. I’d rather go with Comicad instead of Google every time because:
- Google has been freaking out about the tasteful nudity from some of the art in the fan art section. It’s funny to me but also, deal with it!
- I want other comic artists and other indie creators to have the space on my website rather than some business.
- Google is evil. I’d rather not give them more of my money if I can’t help it.
I’ll leave alone the last two AdSense ads in the meantime, though I might replace one of them with the fifth Comicad unit in the future.
Charge up front activated
Like I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve now activated charge up front. Now, new patrons or increased pledges will be charged immediately. The downside is no more trying out my Patreon, but the upsides are I get your money immediately and it’s also useful for…
New $55 Tier – AristoCats
It’s for commissioning me through Patreon. It’s basically just a $10 pledge + a $45 commission, discounted from my usual price of $50 (10% off). You’ll also get access to #aristocat-manor in Discord, the perfect place for gloating, mwuhahaha! The rest can just watch in envy, but they cannot speak. This tier has limited slots though, but I can open up more according to my free time. Read up on the details about the tier and commissioning me on my Patreon page. And huge thanks to my patrons that took these slots immediately!
It also contributes a nice amount to the new Goal I’ve set up recently…
New $300 Goal – NSFW art
If the $300 Goal is reached I’ll start drawing NSFW for art suggestions or commissions! It’s my first time doing these, so keep it on the vanilla side, please.
Art suggestions will be Patreon-exclusive, although if it ‘s applicable I’ll post the censored versions here and in my social media. For NSFW commissions however, I’ll leave it to the commissioner if they wish to share it publicly.
Finally, here’s some good news…
The $300 Goal has been reached!
Who knew sex actually sells, and quickly at that! I will now do NSFW art for this month and as long as the Goal is reached.
$5 patrons and above, you can change your suggestions to NSFW if you want to. Three people took the AristoCat slots just to reach this Goal so expect them to be pretty spicy!
The rest of you, well, you can wait for an AristoCat slot next month, become a $5+ patron if you want to suggest art, or enjoy the censored version… if they aren’t too spicy that is! Judging from the AristoCats’ discussions in #nsfw it’ll likely involve Cat Nine characters, but we’ll see what kind of perversion they’ll come up in there! And who knows, if they’re feeling generous perhaps they’ll share their commissions for all.
To all my patrons this month, and maybe future ones, thanks so much! I’m going to make another Hall of Fame entry in the Patrons page for the $300 Goal. If you want your name in there, then maybe now’s a good time to pledge.
Super Shortstack Myan!
All aboard the SSS Myan!
An extra juicy shortstack Myan commissioned by BlueDavrial, thank you!
Drawing this in my stream was still fun even with the slow internet at the time. I had to do a bajillion adjustments to make her thiccer, but it was enjoyable and educational for me. As for the stream itself, I was streaming at the “insane” 5000kbps, but the quality seems to be good even at 100 kbps so I’ll stick to that in the future.
And ehem, there’s a free nude version in #nsfw, so thank him for that too!
Plus, our resident Head Furry Hothead did a fan sketch too with a bonus NSFW version, awesome!
femCruz
For some reason, femCruz happened in the Cat Nine Discord… leading to a commissioned emoji, then some image sets by IndiSkye [part 1] | [part 2 (NSFW!)], and now this extra smug and extra busty femCruz (Cruzette?) that BlueDavrial also commissioned me.
Just some weird and fun things happening in there haha! Thanks for the commissions BlueDavrial, it’s been a while that anyone commissioned me, and thanks for making those amazing image sets Indi Skye , I always love seeing fanmade stuff even the NSFW ones!
With the help of Dyno bot, I’ve allowed people to give themselves ranks/roles in Cat Nine’s Discord. Now you can:
- Declare your Cat Nine waifu or husbando! Or be greedy and form a harem of them!
- Set which continent you live in to let people know where and when in the world you are!
- Tell people what you find sexy, you manyak!
- Show the others that you’re an artist, a streamer, or even a furry (so we can shun you)!
How to join a rank
Just type in ?ranks to get a list of available ranks. Then type ?rank rank name to assign yourself that rank. You can assign yourself any number of ranks as you wish, but please limit yourself to one continent. Also, please use these commands in the #bot-commands channel to prevent spamming other channels, thank you!
Seriously, join in! I streamed and drew this thing on the left after all!
I’ll be activating charge up front for Patreon at the start of the next month, revamp the art suggestions, and mayyyybe start accepting NSFW art too.
Charge up front
New patrons will be charged on the day you become a patron, giving you access to all content shared with their reward tier.
For existing patrons, there shouldn’t any changes. You’ll still get charged on the 1st of every month.
Read more about charge up front here.
I was reluctant to apply this cause I wanted to give my new patrons the opportunity to give my stuff a try and maybe prevent them from buyer’s remorse since you all know I’m pretty slow with the updates! I did plan to implement charge up front anyway if people keep abusing it. It has happened two times already, and I was going to activate it on the third “strike”. There’s no going back after I activate charge up front too.
It’s kinda annoying waking up and being happy about receiving a “New patron!” email but they actually canceled when I later checked Patreon!
Revamping art suggestions
I’ve wanted to revamp the art suggestions for a while now. Basically it’s exchanging one Cat Nine bonus art/comic for fan art. I really want to do more fan art stuff for the sake of self-promotion you see, and 1 bonus/fan art every week and alternating between Cat Nine and fan art doesn’t seem like a bad idea to me.
Current
KitTens ($10+)
- 1 Fully colored Cat Nine art
RAWRs ($5+)
- 1 Sketch/lineart Cat Nine art
- If I have the time for it I fully color the sketches.
- 1 Fully colored Cat Nine art
- 1 Fully colored Fan art
Revamped
KitTens ($10+)
- 1 Fully colored Cat Nine art
- 1 Fully colored Fan art
RAWRs ($5+)
- 1 Cat Nine art
- 1 Fan art
- So yeah, less guarantee of them being colored, but if I have the time for it they’ll be fully colored. Cleaned up sketches will be the minimum quality at least.
NSFW
Just a possibility. I still don’t think I’m horny enough to draw lewd stuff regularly haha.
If I did go nsfw, I’m thinking that $10+ can make nsfw suggestions and $5+ can see them. And yes, they count as a KitTen art suggestion, but at least now you can suggest lewd stuff. I don’t think I can make too extreme stuff yet haha, so keep em on the vanilla side. And yes, if I went ahead with this, nsfw fan art suggestions will also be accepted.
I’m also thinking of making either non or lewd-version tiers for RAWRs and KitTens (at the same price) so you won’t see nsfw stuff if you don’t like those.

Myan’s collar specs
With comments by Hibi-Hibi and Lazylonewolf
“Nothing too fancy, which seems like something Keith would buy. And I just think black and a little heart of gold looks nice on her too.”Primary transformation powers
Animal transformation: Can transform into any real animal
– Learned behaviors and movement (like flying) aren’t included in the transformation, except for human.
“Animals transformed into humans often require imparted knowledge about basic human movements to participate in human society. Since this uses mind-affecting magic, I had to be meticulous when I applied this. It’s why Myan doesn’t know how to act with her other animal forms.”“It’s more interesting and hilarious if Myan has to learn how2animal first. And it’s not like humans themselves are experts at being human!”
– Can’t transform into mythical creatures.
“Animal forms should suffice, and transforming into creatures of legend will just attract human attention… and would you trust Myan with a dangerous form like a dragon?“I’d rather show actual mythological creatures rather than someone else transforming into those.”
– Can’t transform into fictional creatures/races. To be exact, those that aren’t associated with any real-life mythologies.
“Similar problems like above, and since they aren’t real, you don’t know if the form you took can actually survive in this world. You could also end up with missing body parts!”“I just find mythologies (and their creatures) across different cultures much more fascinating compared to fictional creatures in other media.”Human transformation: Can transform into (mostly) human form
– Hibi didn’t finish doing this enchantment since she was interrupted, so anyone who is using it will keep some of their animal traits. If Hibi fixes it, then they can fully turn into a human.
“Can I fix it? Yes I can! But she’s fine with it for now. I’m just relieved the safeguards I’ve put in are working.”“Thus our catgirl Myan was born!”
– Can change hair style and length. Can copy hairstyles from people, photos, or create from imagination.
“It’s for convenience and appearances’ sake. I can’t expect a boy like Keith to know how to do a lady’s hair.”“I wanted some practice drawing different hairstyles. I like longer hair in general though, but I try.”
– Can’t change most things when transforming like: age, height, weight, race, skin/eye color, voice, sex. Also applies to animal forms.
“Her current human appearance is set the first time she transformed. It would be highly suspicious if people who’ve seen Myan’s human form, but not know her collar’s powers, and later see her drastically different. I can let her change these if it’s reallly needed. However, her original form’s age and weight will be mirrored by her transformations. I sure hope Myan doesn’t it eat too much!”“Giving Myan the power to ara-ara you (or be ara-ara’d) is much too powerful! Joking aside, these ‘minor’ transformations aren’t that interesting enough to me and, in my opinion, are the domain of tricksters. BUT, I do have story ideas with some of these transformations, so they might come uplater.”
– Myan’s human (and other animals) appearance is based on her original form.
“The most basic transformation uses your original form as a base. It’s why they’ll often have their original form’s characteristics when transformed.”“Simply put, I designed her that way. And designed her cute!”
