2026 Updates!

Hello and happy new year to all! ~

I do hope everyone had a warm and relaxing holiday season, whatever you may celebrate and wherever you may be. I know I enjoyed having some time off to reconnect with partners and catch up on some quality time…it was quite lovely. ~

Ah, but alas, as January ripens, it becomes time to return to my dark work. So here’s what to expect in the coming months!

First off, the biggest announcement of the new year: I will be discontinuing my monthly Legion tier giveaway. There will still be a winner chosen for January 2026 – however, beginning next month (February 2026), subscribers at the Hansel’s Legion tier ($10) will only be granted access to all of art, as well as an invite code to my Discord which is exclusive to that tier. There, I’ll begin testing out some potential perks to see if they’ll make a good replacement for the monthly giveaway. 

The reason for the removal of the monthly giveaway is simple: the pieces created for the giveaways are fun, but they take a considerable amount of time to produce and I’d like to try some new things this year that I wouldn’t have time to try without discontinuing the giveaway. What’s to come instead, you may ask? Well, some of my long-time Legion supporters and I have been tooling with the idea of a kink-themed remote RPG that’s set in my afterworld universe (as seen in my original comics), with myself serving as DM and providing the art for the characters and illustrations of the events that unfold. This year, I’ll be experimenting with this endeavor and using the extra time I’ve freed up to work with these supporters and see if this prospect has promise. Any and all art created for the resulting kink-themed RPG would be posted publicly, allowing for all watchers to follow the story and characters as they get themselves into some heavy situations…

If you think you’d like to be a prospective participant in a kink-themed RPG held over Discord, feel free to message me with any questions you may have either here or via Discord’s direct messages.

Also please note that you no longer need to stay subscribed to remain in the Discord; subscribing even just once at the $10 level will give you access to my Discord until you leave voluntarily (or if you have to be removed, but please don’t make me do that). However, to be an active participant in the RPG, you will need an on-going active subscription to my $10 tier on either DeviantArt or Patreon.

As for my output, here’s what to expect from me in the coming weeks:

• New pages of Flan Co. (and we may be finishing it up this year!)

• A few fan art fatties I’ve been meaning to doodle

• The final chapter of the current arc of my Sins of Schandmaske story, titled “Your Own Medicine”, will be launching!

• Some additional lore notes and extras which will help further detail the world that my original comics are set within

I’m also considering reopening commissions, but I can’t say for certain at this point. Subscribers are what keeps me active and fed, so I have to prioritize that for the time being and focus on how I can repay my supporters and make their support worthwhile. Once I have a clue as to the amount of extra work an online RPG may entail, I’ll know if I can reopen commissions and if so, how many slots I’ll be able to offer (in any case, it looks like it will probably be five slots maximum). Please stay tuned for an update announcement that commissions are reopening, should you be interested.

Okay, that’s all from me for now – see you all soon with more content!

Be well, and stay fat ‘n hungry, swine… ~
