If you guys didn't know, I was a bit of a dong designer, back in the day, the more recent attempts (before I had to stop due to getting on SSI, and not needing to thanks to the stable income it gave me), being to just get some extra money to keep from swamping my roommate with requests for him to buy me stuff (like food, clothing, games, etc), but it started off as an attempt to get a toy designed, sold, and made based on a walrus dong, just so I could have one based on Rotor. My designs started out as a freehand attempt to combine realistic texturing and veins on a visual approximation of Zetapaws' old Seal jelly toy design. Now, despite being based loosely on Zetapaws' seal design, I did try different designs of my own, and didn't copy it one-for-one. Once I got a good design that I thought would work, I went out trying to find a buyer.
That proved difficult, since both Bad Dragon and Exotic Erotics, at the time, refused to take it; partially because I tried selling it to both at the same time, partially because of issues with the cartoony nature of it. I ended up finding Average the Porn Fish (aka Candiru Curio) to commission two of my designs (you can see them on his FA account), but it seemed like the initial rejection I got cursed the project, because we only got like 1 of each toy molded and poured before the mold broke, and he quit before he could make another mold for them. He tried giving the designs to another dongmaker, back when Etsy was still allowing their sale (I don't remember which one, though) had too many issues with the clay positives he made. I ended up selling the firmer of the two toys, because it wasn't quite what I wanted, but I still have the other.
It took until I started designing and selling my own unique designs, a few years ago, that I found my old designs, and decided to spruce them up and see if I could sell them again. Fortunately, many of my designs did sell, including two of my old walrus designs; the one I was most proud of ended up selling to Erogeisha, a company that deals more with non-size queen/king toy lovers, and the toy was smaller than I tought it would be, but that's fine with me. It's currently for sale on their website under the name Maguma, a nod to a Toho Kaiju that, while technically a lizard, looks much like a walrus.
The other was snatched up by another company, Element Toys in Canada, where they took my alt name for it, "The Leviathan" and made it their own. It's more along the size of my remaining old design, and that's pretty cool. It's still up for sale on their website, along with another toy I made based on the Werehog, and hopefully they'll reupload for sale the first toy I sold to them, the Cyberpanther, though apparently that one didn't sell too well on Etsy, due to the size of the head compared to the shaft.
Anyway, what started out as an attempt to make something I could use, personally, based on Rotor, turned out to be a long and arduous, but ultimately fulfilling, quest to make a small name for myself in the amateur/independent toy maker club. If you want to check them out, go get yourself a Maguma from Erogeisha or a Leviathan from Element Toys. Fortunately, they look nearly nothing alike, so you should be pleased, either way.
