Ask the BellHunters

Hello, I'm Dawn Hunter-Bellwether...er, formerly Dawn Bellwether if you didn't recognize the added surname. And before you ask, yes 'that' Dawn Bellwether. Ex-Assistant Mayor, Ex-Mayor, Ex-Criminal Mastermind (Reformed thank you very much), City Savior, Controversial Author, and Predator/Prey relationship advocate. I'm also, as you probably guess by the hyphenated last name, married, and happily so to my mate Vernon Hunter, a gray wolf. I'm also a mother to three wonderful pups, something I never thought I'd ever have the chance to be! But, lamb sakes, I've gushed enough about myself here without explaining exactly what this blog is for. You see, after the release of my book “Predator Seeking Prey”, our little family started to get a lot of public attention again, and with it came a lot of question from curious mammals and other pred/prey couples from all over Animalia. My best friend and mate Vernon thought it would be a good idea to deal with these questions directly by opening a sort of blog/forum and taking those questions about our lives directly. Since then, I'd like to say our little blog has been quite successful, with even members of our family and friend circle pitching in and taking a few questions as well. So with all that said., please feel free to Ask Away!


Oh, and also, feel free to check our old location for previous asks until we can get a better archive system in place!


The original Ask Dawn And Vern Tumblr! This blog is a continuation/reboot of the "AskDawnAndVern" tumblr, as I am permanently locked out of the Tumblr at present.

(Blog Author Note: This blog is based on the fanfiction “The Rehabilitation of Dawn Bellwether” as well as it's pseudo-sequel “A Lamb Among Wolves”. If you haven't read them, it'll probably help you better understand what's going on here if you do. I'll link both stories below. Oh Also, I'm open to questions as well. Simply direct “Author” emails to “WastedTime” when composing them. And before I forget, I have a Patreon! Five dollars gets you access to in progress fics, Ask priority, and art previews of both SFW and NSFW art. Of course, even a dollar would help. Seriously, it's how I keep projects like this alive.

Okay, let's start with the most important headline here. The big plate among the spinning set of plates I'm managing. I'm taking another stab at the whole 'Adoptables' thing. Basically, I recently discovered YCH.art. It's a site specifically meant for adopts and YCH auctions. I initially stumbled upon it because the once-in-a-blue-moon scenario occurred where I saw an adoptable I liked a lot, and threw a bid into the ring. I didn't win, but I'm sort of taking the discovery of the site as a sign to retry. Let's be honest, the Furaffinity attempt wasn't great to begin with.


So, I ressurected the three otter gals I never sold, and gave them all a revamp. I've also added a forth otter to the adopts. 'Tonee', the v-tuber/baby metal-style otter gal. I will link the new auction post on Furaff that goes into greater detail, as well as the direct links to each adopt below.


Adopt an Otter REVAMP!


https://www.furaffinity.net/view/60930063/


Angie Adopt - https://ych.art/auction/195728


Charlie Adopt - https://ych.art/auction/195734


Jules Adopt - https://ych.art/auction/195736


Tonee Adopt - https://ych.art/auction/195739



I'll quickly go over the rules here as well. The auctions will be live for a week. The minimum bid is 50 USD. It's unlikely any will hit 500 USD, but that is the cap. So anyone who pays that essentially secures the otter and ends the auction early. Included with each adoptable otter will be their base sheet (Fully Nude), An Outfit Sheet (Self explanatory;see auction pages), and both will have the logo info appended with text cementing the new owner. EG '(Otter) Belongs to (Winner); Illustrated by Wastedtime. Simple, no? That said, Happy bidding to those who are interested.


Next we....hmm...lemme check the list. I'm on the tail end of some commissions right now, and eager to get writing but there's a good chance that won't happen until June. I'm eager to get to working on a Kyuu from Beastars sticker to go along with the recent Juno and Sebun stickers respectively for my Etsy/Personal sale site. Since I was aiming to base all my spring content around sheep, and to a lesser extent rabbits, it seemed fitting. I have a rough outline for summer sticker set plans. Those of you missing Helluva Boss content will see it made up during that time. Cherubs and Hellhounds, that's all I'll say.


Comms I've got some I recently dropped, some very close to being wrapped up, and I've got a commed series looming on the horizon. Perhaps more than one. Again, if you like Helluva, specifically Stella, you will be eating good more than likely.


Lastly...oh man...I've got...let me see. 5 - 6 WIPs that are non-comms in various stages of completion, several of which were recently posted to my gallery partially finished. I'm kinda frontloading the Lanolin's Mom and Belphagor pics respectively to round out Sheepy Spring and to cover me for Milfy May. (Two birds with one stone with Lanolin's Mom Chamois) But I'd also like to give J'taime Mon Prince and the Horizontal Madison a full color treatment. With Belphagor and Chamois, to keep with the style they'll be considered finished after cell shading. But the other two are looking at full polish...I've also got some other ideas on deck as well that are gnawing at me to draw them.


Then there is of course rounding out the asks, which art school studies were going to replace once I finish pushing out the remaining asks. Unfortunately, I got stalled after the first week and wrapped up in all this other stuff. At the very least I'm aiming to wrap the asks before Z2. After that, I'll probably kill the site and shift any future idea asks to my gallery. (The host just upped the pricing, and with how infrequently asks are posted, and will be going forward, simply posting them on twitter or in my galleries is probably the better idea.) But I'll still pound out the remainder over the summer.


Last thing, I'll be sparing you personal life updates this time around, and instead tell you I'm considering going to Denfur again this year as a seller, and selling stickers and prints...I'm just... wishy-washy on the idea given previous experience and my situation at home. Part of me just feels like my focus should go to merch deals with established merch places. If you guys could spare some feedback that would be great, I'd love to hear some opinions.

Anyway, that's all for now! Again, check out the adoptables! Happy bidding!
