Ollie's Pride Parade Preparations
🕑 Added 2025-07-01 02:55:03 +0000 UTCSorry guys, it's been a while and I was too consumed by making pixel art stuff to fulfill any other art plans I had for this month. Even planned Pride Month art was finished only by the very end of the month, to my own shame. I had plans for a whole sequence (even though it wasn't supposed to be a very big one) and thought one month is more than enough to do it timely but planning things is still a very tough deal for me.
Anyway, at least it's still June 30 in US timezone and I can still legitimately say farewell to Pride Month with this artwork.
With all honesty, I'm not a big fan of Pride Month and never felt excited over all the flag waving art which spawns every June. Not intended to explain my feelings in too much detail but putting it simply I don't find something as natural as sexual orientation a reason to be "proud", just like we're not proud of blinking or breathing. Fighting for rights is a good thing but Pride Month is celebrated with parades only in countries where minorities already got the level of acceptance they were striving for, while countries where minority rights is still a big problem are simply not letting it happen simply because it's illegal there, so if somebody say LGBTQ is fighting for rights I'd say Pride Month doesn't help it much because it looks like the "fight" goes in wrong places, not where it's really necessary.
Another reason is purely aesthetic, rainbow is a beautiful natural event but I don't find rainbows drawn with maximum saturation (the way everybody do it on pride month art actually) visually pleasing.
Anyway, I don't want to end the month on a sad note. After all, I still made an art partially dedicated to this event. As long as gay people are happy it's all that matters. For me it felt like a good reason to finally make an art of the only openly gay furry character I know which is Ollie Gaytor from Gay Monopoly, a guy I wanted to draw for a loooong time. It's not a straightforwardly Pride Month art of course but I think you don't need a flag to show that you're gay and happy to be one, Ollie Gaytor has a strong relation to gay culture and making a fan art of him already feels like a worthy tribute, not to mention that the character is very obscure and really needs to be popularized.
So, yeah, there was a Gay Monopoly board game released in 1983, heavily illustrated by another big gay culture icon Tom Finland himself this board game has a very appealing design and lucky for us furries it also has an incredibly charming handsome mascot/main character Ollie Gaytor. The game board, instructions booklet and cards also feature a plenty of other gators drawn in a similar style, some seem to be influenced by Tom Finland's illustrations as well, the booklet's illustration is simply a furry redraw of one of his drawings with three sexy alligators instead of three sexy men.
Ollie Gaytor was already drawn two times and it were just regular solo pin-ups, very good ones but still. So I decided to give some real variety here by making first Ollie Gaytor inflation art (even though I wouldn't mind to draw a classic pin up with a massive nasty hyper cock as well) and also include more minor characters which I guess nobody really cared about.
For me this artwork is also very significant as a big revelation besides of just being my first Pride Month art. In all 5 years ever since I started drawing NSFW art on a professional basis it's the very first scalie art I ever did. Crocodiles, dragons and dinosaurs were the species I always felt indifferent but as the years passed by my tastes became more versatile, I found a plenty of exceptional reptile and human characters which turned me on, it was just tough to find time and motivation to draw them. I think I counted about 10 reptile characters I find sexy but Ollie Gaytor was one of the very first I ever got into and I'm glad I finally managed to give him some attention he deserves. I guess drawing him is gonna become an annual tradition for every Pride Month, simply because there's no other related stuff I could draw for this month besides.
Nothing much to say about the artwork itself, it's all pretty transparent with the dialogue saying it all. Somehow I never was really into parade float kinky scenarios but here it felt too fitting to ignore such an idea. Pride Month is not one of those holidays where parades are traditionally followed with giant float figures like Thanksgiving Day but imagine if it was? Seeing a giant sexy gator which is quite a figure in old gay culture would be awesome.
And yeah, as I already said I saw this as a little story and wanted to draw a couple of simple sequels for this with an actual parade scene where really giant Ollie if floating high above (obviously naked since all his clothes couldn't handle it, playing with my weakness for exhibitionism and embarrassing public exposure) but, it's me, and all my art plans are pretty hard to fulfill timely in recent months. I'm still planning to draw a sequel for this, who cares if it's July already, let's pretend Ollie got carried for the 4th of July haha, and simply it's never too late for more hot inflation art.
Sorry for the lack of edits, kinda had no idea what to add here. Just gave Ollie some stretchmarks and played a bit with simple scaling to make his body really big. But the most impressive and effortful edit is the one hidden in attachments. It's rare for me to walk such an extra mile with drawing so many alternative details just for a fart edit but considering this artwork already barely has any edits I thought such a good idea of multiple hot studs in leather pumping Ollie with their farts was really worthy to invest in. This month doesn't have much to impress in terms of edits so I hope this one will please your cravings.
So don't forget to check the archive!
P. S. I know they all don't have tails but this seems to be canon for Gay Monopoly alligators, they all don't have tails so I had to comply with it. I actually don't mind this level of anthropomorphism since tails, especially big ones, often feel like something that just stands in a way of enjoying a big sexy ass freely. Tex Avery Wolf doesn't have tail as well so I guess it's not that extraordinary.
Here's the pictures of Ollie from special Ollie cards which also feature other gators just so you can get a better understanding of the character.
(And yeah, one of the cards really says Pay each uncut player, way to tease my foreskin weakness, huh?)
I'd like to post more pictures but Patreon's image formatting in a post body is awkwardly bulky so I'll rather just leave a link to the site where I found all the game asset scans.

Hope you had a good Pride Month!
I also wish I could make the last June post with all the new pixel art related updates I got in these two weeks but it's very late, I'm very sleepy and it will take me about one more hour to bring all the materials together and write everything down so I have to postpone it for tomorrow.

Also, I hadn't heard of this set! How fun and campy. And Tom of Finland always a treat. Ollie is indeed an extremely cute character

There are countries where being queer is more accepted, but I don't think there's any country where it has been completely accepted as natural and there aren't a large chunk of conservatives trying to roll our rights back. As demonstrated in the US, it just takes that group gaining power to start trying to drive us out of public life and for companies to take the cue that they don't need to cater to Pride. The fight for rights is an ongoing one because there are always those who seek to put us back in the closet or worse, bury us. But it isn't just 'safe' countries that do pride, Hungary tried to ban the annual Budapest parade and the people put on the largest parade in the country's history in defiance of their dictator. Pride is meant to be gaudy and flashy and loud, it is meant to be a spectacle and a celebration, to show that we are here, we exist, we're normal and it is normal to be queer. For those in countries that can't celebrate, it's to show them that there are others like them in the world and that they aren't alone. I understand it can be easy to see it in the lens of modern life where we seem to take the freedom for granted and it doesn't seem necessary if you are able to live somewhere that doesn't openly persecute being queer, but those places are few and far between and not the norm, even in the US in heavily liberal states there are still plenty of people who would be happy to see us driven out and find us disgusting or inappropriate (often using children as a cudgel, 'they'll corrupt the children'). But the first Pride was a riot in 1969, this practice hasn't even been around 100 years yet, and even then our place is precarious. Hate crimes are on the rise so it's even more important we don't back down and show that we're here to stay As for the art, as usual it's very well done, the lizards in leather are honestly pretty gorgeous, but that's my personal bias talking, I love anything leather and muscly lizards definitely look excellent in it. I'm glad you were still able to do something for Pride, as ever it's good to see your work, though I'm glad you've been able to do a lot of personal projects like your pixel art. Here's hoping July is a good month!
