2023 in Review

I started the year in the middle of two comics, Curtain Jerk and #DDD with Tommie, which both wrapped up in the springtime.

After that, I tried to relaunch Cup O' Love as a weekly gag-comic, and once again let the girls fall to the wayside due to my sponsorship for them being renegotiated.

Since then, I mainly worked on the GoonVR comic for the bulk of the yea from May to October. It was a long comic!

When October hit, I started my new series "How I became a PØrnstar" starring Alana from the Perverted series.

I hope you all are enjoying this series and the consistency of it so far! Having a sponsored comic really helps keep the pages flowing.

The end of this year has had a lot of maintenance happening for me, updating the Patreon page a few times and generally trying to work on more commissions this year. I've basically had 1–2 commissions to work on every week this year!

I'm still working on some overdue things here and there as well, but one of the biggest and best changes was that my wife graduated from her Master's program and found a new career!

This change has taken some getting used to for both of our schedules, but the overall impact of it will definitely be allowing me to make some necessary changes and new opportunities this year.

Upcoming Plans for 2024

First things first, I have a few things to catch-up on, like commissions and Patron Rewards, as well as the Variety comic.

The holiday season this year had me running all over the place, with little time to do a lot of necessary work.

For now, I will be using the first few weeks of January to get these things finished up.

Game Dev: My Office is Full of Yokai

It's been about a year since I've started work on the next game project, and it's been slow-going. Usually, the planing and concept phase takes the most amount of time, figuring things out and coming up with a plan.

I will be getting back to my schedule of working on things such as animations and more.

One thing I want to try and do, is gather additional help in making this game happen sooner! I really want this game to get done, so I can enjoy playing it, haha!

Upcoming Variety Comic Ideas

I have a few more ideas for new comic stories, and will try to lay out the ideas soon.

Here are a few:

Shōnen sport drama about NSFW art
A fun romp into the NSFW art scene as if it were a sports manga, where artists battle it out to make hentai doujins and discover the meaning of PEAK!
(Bi, gay, girl w/dick action)
Pegging dommy-mommy themed comic
A young man visits a voluptuous dominatrix for some strap-on action.
(Girl w/strap on Boy action)
My School is Full of Yokai sequel
A third installment to the Yokai series with Rin, Ryoko and the other monster girls. Set in the theme of the upcoming game, My Office is Full of Yokai
(Girl w/dick on Boy action)
My Gym Partner is a Stacked Tomboy sequel
What if Tommie the Tomboy was a rising star of MMA with Bro as her #1 support?
(Boy on Girl w/dick action)

These are the most prominent ideas I have in mind for now, and will most likely try to make 2 of them happen this year. Will put out a poll for it later this month to see what everyone would like to see!

Also, I will try more short-form Cup O' Love stories in between comics.
