This is part of a progression pic series for Maple's second pregnancy. She'll be 21 weeks 5 days pregnant here.
Today (September 24th, 2023), Marcus the Mouse celebrates his second birthday. His father Hoppy presents him a chocolate cake with two candles on it while his pregnant mother Maple watches.
Also, on a side note, I wanted Marcus to be fully toilet trained and out of diapers and into big boy undies when he was age 1, but his godfather Ryan Wolf -- known here on IB as
-- talked me out of it. And I'm actually glad he did when he did too. Because of FA's latest policy change, it's probably a smart idea to keep Marcus in diapers despite his potty training. (I'm aware that THIS site isn't FA, but when January 30th, 2024, comes around, the birth pic will be submitted there too, as well as on DA and, of course, here on IB.)
Note: Two versions of this pic feature Marcus in big boy undies to show what it could've looked like if Marcus had switched to undies at age 1 like I originally wanted him to.
I apologize for this not being finished yet. I needed to get this out right away. But don't worry. It'll be properly finished ASAP.
UPDATE 11/9/2023: Replaced Rough Sketch with Fine Sketch; also tweaked Marcus' hands a bit. UPDATE 12/11/2023: Fixed an error around Maple's left hand. UPDATE 1/4/2024: Replaced Fine Sketch with Lineart; only coloring left for it now. UPDATE 1/24/2024: Replaced Lineart with Finished image; also added three alternate versions as well. Again, I apologize for not finishing this in time for its target date.
