Deep Blue
Drawn by Kaileigh Blue
	Just a short season ago, Kaileigh Blue wandered onto the message board for a discussion of her favorite singer. Since then, she's risen to stardom in the PG-13 community, for the beauty and prolificity of her artwork. As one who can feel the appeal of pregnancy, rather than just admire it, her art is fresh and original and never feels like cheap whack-off fodder (regardless of how one chooses to appreciate it). Let's watch, shall we? The Fair Folk: A sketchbook page full of expectant fairies. Check out the mad-looking red one in the center. The Rainbow Connection: Out of boredom one day, KB created a rainbow of expressionistic pregnant girls, each in a different color, each titled after one of the residents of the PG-13 Feedback Forum. Unfortunately, the only one that I thought to save was the one named after me-- if anyone saved the rest and would like to send them to me to share, I'd be quite grateful. Measuring Tape:This drawing was based on a photograph, although the woman in the photo didn't have nearly so charming an expression. She sure looks proud of herself! Joi, Not Joy: It's KB herself! Well, actually, it's Joi, her fictional pregnant alter ego. Joi's story is told through a weblog, but I leave it as an exercise to the reader to find it. Candy Girl: Joi doing what pregnant women do best-- putting on weight! This sugar binge was drawn especially for Halloween. Sleep Off The Calories: As they said on G.I. Joe, sugar can give you quick energy, but afterward you feel run down, and you may outgrow your nightshirt too. (OK, I made up that last part.) Pretty Kitty: You're supposed to spay and neuter your pets, yes, but then we wouldn't have beautiful pregnant catgirls like this one. Warning: nakiddity! Sucking Up To The Webmaster: KB's take on our covergirl and her doting boyfriend, which is also a little snipe at Disney. See if you can guess the reference. Black Stretch Marks Of The Night: A very special animated picture, showing how motherhood can brighten the mood of even the most morbid young woman. Warning, large file, 500+k.

One Piece Gospel
Drawn by Stephen
	The most popular manga 'phonebook' of all is Shonen Jump, and has been so for many years. To the delight of many American manga fans, an English version recently hit newsstands, bringing with it several comics that have never been published in English before! The breakout star of this publication is One Piece, the story of Monkey D. Luffy, a kid who's vowed to become the Pirate King in this treasure-obsessed world. Many of the pirates in this story have superpowers, thanks to a freaky tree which bears fruit that grants powers to the eater. Each bears a different power; Monkey himself, having eaten the Gum-Gum fruit, has the power to stretch like Mr. Fantastic. A lot of the other talents are very unlike stuff you would see in superhero comics. Stephen himself will fill in the blanks for you... Mikan: Nami and Nojiko. Nami is the navigator and cartographer for the Luffy Pirates. She grew up in Kokoyashi Town in a house with a mikan orchard -- this is her and her sister Nojiko picking mikan, but it's hard to carry the basket when your stomach is in the way knocking down the fruit. KinenSeigi: The Marines. The Marines are sort of a wild card in the series, since as the guardians of law and order, they go after all the wanted pirates -- which includes both the heroes and the villains. Here's a picture of some of the top naval officers-- Tashigi, Smoker and Hina. Captain Smoker is a guy named for smoke, he has smoke-white hair, he's using smoking two cigars simultaneously, and thanks to eating the Demon's Mokumoku Fruit he can turn himself into smoke. In other words, he has kind of a smoke motif going. But of course, you can't smoke around pregnant women, so the other two are preventing him.... Sgt. Tashigi is a katana enthusiast whose goal is to recover famous swords from pirates and bounty hunters who don't know their worth. Hina the Black Cage is another Demon's Fruit nouryokosha -- she ate the Oriori Fruit and can sort of use her body to make iron sealing bonds, which is what happened to that bunch of cigars falling from her arm. Buggy's Hand: "Buggy The Clown", captain of the Buggy Pirates is a long-standing rival of Luffy since early on in the comic. He has the power of the Barabara Fruit, which enables him to split into pieces and send them flying in all directions. He also has really bad luck. Well, everyone knows that patting a pregnant woman's belly gives you good luck. Or maybe that was patting a fat guy's head, I don't remember, but let's say it's a pregnant woman's belly. But these women have also consumed Demon's Fruit, and have their own special defenses... Miss Doublefinger- Ate the Togetoge Fruit and can extrude spikes from any part of her body, making touching her stomach a dangerous undertaking. Mystery Woman- She has a name, but it would kind of spoil a big surprise if I told you who she was. Since One Piece is going to come out in English, I don't want to reveal too many plot twists ahead of time. Anyway, she ate the Subesube Fruit, and thinks slide right off her. Miss Valentine- Ate the Kilokilo Fruit and can change herself from 1kg to 10,000kg or anywhere in between. Only her literal weight changes, not appearance, too bad. As far as I know she can't manipulate the weight of specific parts, but if she could she could use her stomach to crush an unwary hand... Nico Robin- Ate the Hanahana Fruit, and her arms can bloom like a flower from any surface, so they can ward off this invasion. That's it for the female Demon's Fruit nouryokoshas, except for Miss Merrychristmas, but she's a squat, middle-aged obasan who turns into a mole, she's not exactly sexy...

Sliptide: Third Wave
Drawn by Sliptide
	Our oldest, most loyal artist returns with another batch of sketches. He's currently experimenting with color, so be prepared, his style may change drastically from those experiments. RyokoSexy.jpg: A new interpretation of Ryoko of Tenchi Muyo fame, dressed up nice to show off her new figure. SasamiSexy.jpg: A grown-up Sasami receives the same treatment, with the nice clothes and the large pregnancy and everything. doodle1.jpg: Possibly Sliptide's most naturalistic picture yet, as it was drawn from a photograph. doodle2.jpg A young lady in nice robes, who appears uncomfortable; perhaps she was not so pregnant until very recently, and is struggling to stand up? Wishful thinking, I know. pregDMgirl.jpg: Here we have the female Dark Magician from Yu-Gi-Oh. And she's so enormously swollen that you'd need a whole deck of cards to summon her! Kabocha.jpg: Sliptide's interpretation of Kabocha, whom I roleplayed on AOL Instant Messenger. PregRuse.jpg: Sliptide's interpretation of Ruse, a character Seru roleplayed on AIM (but not in the same storyline as Kabocha).

Vitches verk ONLY vit MAGICK!
Drawn by Dark Zoid Pilot
	DZP has created a new recurring character-- I just love when people do that! Her name is Sakura, and since it's hard to read the handwriting on the sketch, here's a transcription: Sakura is a 17-year-old witch who has been the victim of an experiment. After many tests, she was chosen, willing or not, to carry a prototype of the perfect destruction machine. She now has been 2 years pregnant with this, as she calls it, "little beast." As far as she knows, it will take 3 more years before it is born. She excels at healing spells and petrifaction spells.

Dueling Cutenesses
Drawn by Dillhead
	Dill explains it all for you: In case you're wondering, those aren't the same girl. They're [fraternal] twin sisters, each with various furry features. They have the same name, spelled differently, and very opposite personalities -- Cutey (at top) is more innocent and concerned, being somewhat unsure of her pregnancy, and Cutie (at bottom) is more adventurous and..."eager," wishing she were bigger at this stage in the game. Don't think that means they won't make good mothers, though. They'll soon find out just how strong their maternal natures are. In that way they are identical.

Stage 5: Acceptance
Drawn by IzludeSama
	Funny how obsessions like ours can be catching. See, back on the old PGN message board, there was a regular poster who claimed he hung around because he liked the art style, but wasn't interested in pregnant women. We christened him our "resident non-breeder", and continued on our merry way. Now, years later, he's returned, only now he calls himself Eternal Sandwich (?!) and is open about his attraction to pregnant women. These pictures are an expression of that attraction; one can see the influence Matt Otaku, another artist, has had on him. Have a look at RinoaChan and Tomoe, but if you're not already one of us, be warned-- soon you will be!

BirthBound
Drawn by Mistress Fire-Hazard
	During our recent untimely disappearance, Mistress Fire-Hazard did her part to help as well; Mister Boggy commissioned a lovely picture of Paula from EarthBound, and she pulled it off with flying colors! I personally think her rendition of Paula is nicer than mine, but that's up for debate...

Bedrock Anthem
Drawn by Sinnuyanea
	Sinnuyanea has brought an important paleontological exhibit to our attention. For years, the so-called "Venus of Willendorf" was our closest link to the reproductive habits of prehistoric protohumans. This new find, however, gives interesting insight to a Stone Age mother's world. It is a thin stone basrelief, three inches by five inches, of uncannily lifelike artistry. We theorize that this carving was made by a tiny woodpecker enclosed in a camera obscura, replicating what was thrown on the wall; however, the coloration here is conjectural. One might question why any woodpecker, prehistoric or modern, would willingly do such servile things for protohumans; the answer would be, of course, "It's a living."
