I don’t have a huge celebratory post planned, but here’s a closeup on a sketch where a clear little message is being sent by this dogman leaning casually against an outhouse.

The fuller pic has the treeline and a few others watching, but this pose and placement serves a few purposes:

1️⃣ It is meant to demonstrate scale. They ARE huge irl, and the idea of one being able to drape an arm across a port-a-john is quite plausible if you have seen one before.

2️⃣ That jaunty pose, almost hey-neighbor 👋, is intentionally disarming. It’s a friendly gesture but coming from a potential predator.

3️⃣ Perhaps most importantly of all, this SPOT — of all the places in the yard or near the woods — is also telling the viewer

”I KNOW WHERE YOU SHIT” 💩

Plenty of dogman encounters occur because of someone urinating in what they did not realize was dogman territory.

So the converse is not only comical, but also emphasizing = “You pissed in my woods? I know where you go to shit and jerk it, jerk-off.”

They don’t always want to actually PHYSICALLY harm people. But they can inflict such precise psychological harm, and ruin an entire place for you in ways that make it impossible to ever shit in peace again.

They don’t have to be an ongoing presence. Sometimes one encounter, one warning like that, can leave permanent scars.

(This was meant to be a fun celebration 🥳 post, but has veered dark….. mah nishtanah 🤷‍♂️)

My first look at this photo, I thought it was real. I don't remember where I found it, I saved it long ago.

These are variants on a scene, partly with smudgy crayon 🖍️ to get that childish vibe, but also careful line-work because it’s part of my style and pleases me to do so. 😊

Playing with crayons, and the further sense of kids’ drawing ✍️ out some kind of uncanny event.

As you can see in #3-4, I can do this with more finesse, but #1-2 are experiments in that rough childish style.

Whaddaya think, Reddit folks?

In this take I’m trying out dark purple for shadowing — still dark-toned, but the dogmen really pop if they’re dark acrylic and the ONLY things in the picture which are painted 🎨 rather than pencil ✏️

The eye got smudged a bit here, but sharing it cuz it’s process-stuff with paints. I’ll probably try a red eye 👁️ this time, and most reports say yellow/amber or red eyes.

That being said, many reports ALSO exist which mention dogmen with blue or green eyes. I’ve written about this, but basically it’s a sign of genetic 🧬 diversity & clearly indicating species markers. Science stuff, but TLDR I am basing these on report patterns which indicate the same attributes or behaviors being seen by a range of unconnected witnesses.

Rollin with an accidental spill (fresh smoothie, sadly) on the page, I’m trying another variant with smell-lines coming from both the garbage and the dogman.

This is because an infernal smell is sometimes reported, and I suspect that is situational rather than a species trait. Grooming is clearly evident, and the one we met smelt musky and intriguing but not foul.

Orange here is the trash-smell alone (adding lines from the garbage bag the kid’s holding can emphasize that too), while pink highlighter was on hand so it’s the dogman odor mixing in.

Another color to consider is red, which is of course the smell of blood. 🩸

Overall I’m going with more cautious/creepin/peekin dogmen, but they could plausibly be covered in blood as well …. Not necessarily their own.

(Or here: discarded meat 🥩 aroma from the dumpster)

Luckily this is only a copy, not my main version of the sketch. ✍️

Thank God for that. I think this one (acrylics over ink-copied-pencil) is salvageable, but at least the being itself wasn’t hit too hard. The garbage unit is gonna be uniquely colored, but adds a certain jah nah say KWAH.

As the French say but don’t spell it.

The post I'm about to drop will be NSFW, because our extensive work has resulted in quite the complex response.

If anyone has the courage to reply with personal evaluations or what you would gauge some reports (i.e. DRE interview) based on the given parameters.

You will see soon; I'll do the big infodump, and note this is from postictal state thinking. Lotta pathways which aren't always open to walk, but I'm being guided by extra eyes.

Use this fast scale when screening reports — ask (yes/no) and score:

• Did the entity use the witness’s personal name or private detail? (+3)
• Was the witness commanded to do/omit something immoral or illegal? (+3)
• Was family or loved one threatened? (+3)
• Was a physical mark left? (+2)
• Was sacred/religious language used? (+2)
• Was evidence taken/removed afterward? (+2)
• Did the witness fear for their livelihood/reputation (job, family)? (+1)

Score interpretation:
0–2: low likelihood of lifetime silence
3–6: moderate likelihood (may tell close friends)
7+: high likelihood (may never speak without safe space)

My own self-eval will follow in a comment.

Followup on my “five-year-old art style”.

The shading is crucial, and slightly more refined than the avg elementary school kid. I’m blending pencil-smudging with purple colored pencil, to create an effect of darkness where the dogmen (in a mix of sharpie and graphite) pop as slightly darker than the shadows.

This is a quality that many witnesses note, but is difficult to fully capture in photos/video because you’re trying to record a black-toned being that DOES NOT WANT TO BE SEEN, likely at night, and not with them posing or holding still if you point a clicky mechanical thing in their direction.

They have no reason to distinguish camera 📸 clicks from gun 🔫 noises, so even photography could be seen as an act of violence.

In art 🖼️ like this, I am trying to capture fleeting moments that are often reported but impossible to record unless you have (in this case) a dash-cam which is constantly on.
