answers to questions people frequently, sometimes, or never ask me!

Last updated: 2026/02/26

general

do you do commissions and other paid work?

no.

do you do trades or collabs?

nope.

requests?

nah.

is fanart okay?

yes! it's always nice to see what others create, and it's a nice boost to my mood for the day :) I keep all the fanart I've received over the years in a little folder, it makes me happy when I look at it.

how can I contact you?

contact me on websites where I upload my work! I do my best to check all places daily. if I don't respond, then I either haven't gotten to your message yet, you've ignored something obvious I've mentioned on my profile, you're just advertising, saying hi/hello/*boop*, or you suck.

can I contact you someplace else?

I'm on Discord as well! I accept messages from anyone, so there's no need to send a friend request. If you can, I'd much prefer you contact me in a public space, so I'm also on the e621 Discord server, and you can just @ me about whatever.

do you RP?

no!

would you like a commission from me?

probably not, no! please don't contact me to advertise!

how did you make this website?

I typed it all up in a text editor by hand! lots of people should give it a go, think of it like customising your tumblr blog if you had one of those... personal websites are a real nice thing to have in a modern Internet, you always can have a safe haven of sorts that's as isolated as you want it, that looks and works how you want, that hosts what you want (within reason)

you can learn HTML, CSS, and JS in pretty much any way you'd like these days. having a website is a little more involved, but not too much. you need to get yourself a domain from a domain name registrar (I use Porkbun), and some means of webhosting. you can run a web server yourself, or get hosting from a provider (I use Neocities). both of these tend to cost money. free options exist, but may come with some form of restriction (space and bandwidth limits, ad-supported, poor reputation TLDs). maeworl costs $5 USD a month to run, alongside a yearly domain renewal around $15 USD.

will you join [website] so I can see your art there?

depends. generally, wherever I'm presently online is what I'm content with. usually not interested in more than that.

works related

can I redistribute / use / edit / do other things with your works?

most likely! almost all works are dedicated to the public domain using a CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication. look for the CC0 mark next to an image in the archive, refer to the submission description, or contact me about the specific work to confirm! you can learn more by clicking here. please have a read before doing anything with my CC0 works!

keep in mind that even though you can freely use my CC0 works, certain services don't want you doing so. sites may only allow you to upload what's entirely your own creation, and may not allow derivatives of even free use works.

what about works that aren't CC0?

while *I* don't care if you use those, those works cannot be dedicated to the public domain using CC0. usually, that's because I've used characters and things from IP I don't own. I can't reliably use CC0 to dedicate such works to the public domain without potentially running into issues.

that being said, *I* won't complain if you use such works, though! note that some rights may be reserved, however. you might piss someone off if what you want to use happens to be art I've done of someone's character, for example.

so, if you specifically need works that are free to use, you have to look for works with the CC0 mark. no exceptions.

works that cannot be released into the public domain under CC0 are no longer publically listed in the archive on maeworl, and are in profile-only listings across different services where possible. please look for them in there, or refer to direct image links down below. I do not intend to make anymore non-free works.

can I use your works for generative AI purposes?

For CC0 works: yeah. would be cool and healthy for your mind if you made something by yourself, though. try it out!
For non-CC0 works: refer to legislation in your jurisdiction before doing so. don't ask the AI chatbot for this one.

but what about this "Lotten" thing I've been hearing about?

the upcoming "Lotten" series is © 2025 by maeworl and is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. that naturally includes its associated universe, characters, concepts and similar. it's not a CC0 work, but thanks to it being released under a Creative Commons license, it's still widely usable in a lot of ways compared to something that's All Rights Reserved. I host it on a subdomain to better separate it from all the standalone CC0 works here. you'll get more information by heading on over to lotten.maeworl.xyz when it's up.

I may from time to time release standalone illustrations involving characters and concepts from "Lotten", which may be under different licensing terms. You shouldn't confuse this with the license used for the main work, nor should you extend such terms beyond the context of a standalone illustration unless I've explicitly specified it alongside a work.

the licensing info on Newgrounds says that I have to give you attribution on works you've said are CC0. what gives?

Newgrounds presently does not let me indicate whether or not I want attribution. Please refer to the submission description for proper info for now.

An update: I've contacted Tom about it, and this'll be sorted out when they next update the license chooser! CC licenses will also be bumped up from the 3.0 version to 4.0 as well.

what do you use for drawing?

I work digitally. currently, I use Krita for completing a work, and GIMP for handling exports.

regarding hardware, I use a Huion Kamvas Pro 20 (2019). for older works, I used old Wacom pad tablets (Wacom Intuos Comic and Wacom Bamboo). for a brief period, I also used an iPad Pro 12.9" with Procreate.

where's the next drawing? you've disappeared!

I doubt I have, unless you see absolutely no activity anywhere, and this website suddenly disappears! I create little horny furry drawings as a hobby, and whenever I'm interested in doing so. Sometimes, I'm just not interested. Sometimes, I'm busy! I apologise if you're not used to this pacing compared to other artists! Art should be enjoyable!

why don't you draw this kink/fetish I enjoy?

usually boils down to one or more of these points:

when I view your works, I notice the colours seem not as vibrant. what's up with that?

My works are done in the Display P3 color space, as it's what I originally worked with when determining character colours and drawing on my iPad in Procreate. Most image viewers and browsers have the ability to read the embedded color profile on an image, and display an approximation. Some do not do this, leading to the image seeming less vibrant than usual. Certain services may also strip color space information from uploads of my image, but most seem not to. If interested in knowing more, you can download the color profile here. For reference, the rendering intent I use while drawing and editing my works is "Perceptual".

works done for the upcoming "Lotten" series will be done in a srgb color space instead, like any other images you find online. older works, prior to mid 2020, may also be in this format.

webp sucks!

you suck! webp is very good, and I save quite a bit of storage and bandwidth by having images in that format on here. the works you see on here are lossless webp (it exists!) and can be converted to a nice chunky PNG at any time by yourself, without any data loss. webp support has been around for a long while with most software (you can even browse the site on a Nintendo Switch!) and shouldn't be a problem for the average person to deal with anymore. if you have a problem involving webp, it's actually involving whatever you're using! use something better!

character specific

can i do X with your character(s)?

yes! my characters are to be enjoyed by everyone, so feel free to use them for many things, whether that be fanart, written works, commissions, roleplay, inspiration for your own characters, as bases, etc.

there is no need to ask for permission. but, if you're doubtful, feel free to get in contact with me!

why is müll called müll? do you know that it means "trash" in german?

yep. here are the reasons, as copied from an e621 comment:

the lore reason: müll was named by her mother, a powerful witch who resided in south-west germany. her mother was seeking to finish her biggest project yet, a one-of-a-kind transformation brew that would turn any feral creature placed into it into an anthropomorphic being, which had never been done in this world. to accomplish this, she had to go through a few dozen cats and a few dozen batches of transformation brew. while the first few cats were given proper names, she found herself getting frustrated at failed concoctions which killed the cats involved. later, cats in the experimentation process were then given swears and various harsh descriptors as names in the midst of this frustration. finally, the last cat, müll (meaning rubbish), was chucked into the final brew. with a bright light and explosion, this last brew was successful. müll's cool with the name, and does miss her mother, who created her and died shortly after because of witch hunters nearby.

the real reason: wanted to make furry creacher and was learning german at the time and picked a random word

if you thought that was interesting, consider checking out her lore page! ...it's a work-in-progress.

I saw the witch cat with a cock. Is she trans, or "a futa"?

Müll is a cisgender woman. she is a pussy that was born with a pussy. she's magical, and excels in transformation magic. she uses this magic often to alter her genitals to whatever she likes, when she likes. she's not transgender, and is comfy with her identity as is. sometimes, she just likes having fun with a cock only, or even both a cock and a pussy!

regarding the "a futa" part: by default, she's not a futanari character and only has a pussy. in certain works, she is seen with both a pussy and a cock, which then makes that specific piece a futanari piece.

most pieces featuring her with a cock are cock only, so she's a gynomorph in such genital transformation works. always presume anal penetration is at play when you can't see under the balls :) if the work is a futanari work, I'll always make that clear to avoid confusion.

mae deets

what's your name?

my name is mae!

how old are you?

as of writing this, i'm in my mid 20s. yeh

where are you from?

australia, can you believe it

what's your art education background?

uh, there's not much of one... I did it as a subject in high school once or twice, and that's it. i'm mostly self-taught. everything besides that has just been from me doodling things whenever I've wanted to, since I was a kid. I do a little better each time, usually.

tell me more!

nah




...that's it for now. thanks for reading~
