Description At last, after another agonizing hour, it was over.

And the happy couple had become four. They'd expected three, of course, but an yet another mouth to feed wouldn't be too much of a burden on the family, what with Max's family wealth and Monica being a princess, even if her kingdom didn't quite exist in the current time period. In any case, it was finally over and they happily welcomed twins into their blossoming family.

"They're both blondes, just like their dad," mused the new mother. Monica was the very image of exhaustion, but a tired smile was permanently etched across her features.

"Well we do have more fun," Max replied. Obviously the delivery was much easier on his side of things, which left the young inventor with enough energy to be awestruck by his two sons. Sons! Him! A father!

Briefly he thought about his own mother and father, brought together by almost the exact same circumstances and having much the same result. His father was from the current time period, and his mother from the future. But due to the almost nonsensical parallel processing of time, she had to return to her own time period to fight, and his father never really was the same again.

The new parents had talked about this many times over the last few months, and Monica swore to him that she'd never do that to him, or their new family. Still, Max and Monica were both fairly heroic folk, and there was always a small fear in the back of his mind that one or the other would someday have to leave to face some grave new threat.

Max shook his head. No, no, now wasn't the time for that.

"Max," said the princess in a tired voice. She was cradling their twins, one in each arm, while lying in the workshop bed. "Why don't you take a picture now? This'd look much better in the album than... well, whatever it was you were going for earlier."

He turned beet red at that. Granted, he'd had some pretty strange photos lead to amazing inventions in the past, but what DID he expect from that earlier photoshoot? Aside from pictures of a half naked goddess rolling around in panther print.

So maybe it was just that. A little.

"You know, normally I take the pictures first and then make something new. This'd be the first time we make something new and then I take the pictures."

"Aww, that's so horribly poetic or something, I'm sure. Come on, take the picture already. I'm getting sleepy," she urged, punctuating it with a yawn.


"Okay, okay. Say cheese... "


See I wasn't going to leave you guys hanging on that hit-or-miss fetish that scares off the average viewer! There's still some adorable leftover!

At least I can be proud of this one! Sorta. Those hands, holy god. Yeughs.

Her hair should be more shaggy, her face redder, and she should look tired, and the babies hair should be thinner, not quite grown yet. Other than that good job.

This is definitely my favorite out of the whole series. There's nothing I love better than a happy ending. The best part of all of these was the story you wrote to go along with it, and this picture's portion is far and away the best. Max's reflection on his own origins, and his anxiety about the future (har har) are great touches that really make it extra special. It's clear that you, like me, adore this game and its characters.

So what's next, Rogue Galaxy?

A fellow fan, yaaay!

Sadly never did play Rogue Galaxy, and I've heard mixed things about it for years so I'm still not sure if it's something I'll track down.

I'd go for it. It's not as good as Dark Cloud 2, but it's still pretty damn good. And, like DC2, it has some surprisingly awesome voice acting! There's also a helluva lot to do, and the basic engine is more or less the same, just replace fishing and spheda with bug catching and bounty hunting. The main problem in the game is the story, it's not bad, and the characters are all a blast, but the narrative is just all over the place. It's like they wanted to make an epic story, and just tried to put ALL OF THE COOL THINGS into one game. Basically, it's just got too much going on to follow through with all of it, and that's kind of a shame. But other than that, the game is solid, and I'd recommend it. But try and find the guide too, if you can, and it's not too pricey. Like I said, there's a ton of content in the game, and the guidebook reflects that: it's literally the thickest paperback book I own. It's a lot to keep track of without some help.

Her face expression looks really maternal. Yes, I know she'd just become a mom, but...her face <3333

Dawwwww!
But seriously, this is a lovely and heartwarming image accompanied by a great little story. I really interested in checking this game out now..
Wonderful stuff all around.

It's an excellent game all around. While you could argue the core mechanic of dungeon crawling is a little repetitive, they give you so much to do that you'll never get bored. Add to that some really gorgeous settings, literally dozens of colorful characters, and a fairly engrossing central narrative, and you get one of the best games on the PS2, at least for my tastes.

I really love the face, especially the tired eyes and the exhausted, but content smile. That just sums up the aptly-named labour of love, doesn't it?

I can't be certain, but I think the babies might be a bit small in relation to her. Not sure though.

I salute you for attempting this entire series, especially the birth part. It's definitely not easy to draw, but its nice to see an artist take risks and try something that he or she is intensely interested in, even if they feel they are incapable or they feel that people might be weirded out. There's some aspects of BBW/WG stuff that I feel the same way about.

Nice series, all in all.

Babies and hands are both of very, very dubious size and quality.

The birth thing is still kind of a nervous thing for me, but I've been holding back on it for years so there's really no point in continuing to do so, if only thanks to hanging out on Pregchan so much with the regular oekaki crew, which is a regular birthstravaganza.

At any rate, glad you're enjoying my stuff still! Can't say I touch on much of the BBW stuff these days so I'm glad you've stuck around anyway.

It's no problem. I wish I could be more constructive or helpful, but I don't spend a lot of time on this account anymore anyway and, quite frankly, if it weren't for keeping up on your stuff and watching you develop I'd have closed it a few months ago.

The BBW stuff was more of a way of kicking myself for not taking the time to learn to draw, and just identifying with you in a way; you're into birth but understandably still a bit uneasy about getting into it, and I've got a few of the "unpleasant" aspects of the WG/BBW thing that I'm finding myself more and more attracted to (not in real life, mind you!) Maybe I'll draw them someday. Probably not.

Hey, comments longer than one word are what I crave in the end so don't worry about commentary being disappointing or anything. You actually, like, talk with me as opposed to AT me.

Still waiting to see some more art from ya, as always, so don't think nobody cares!
