Commissioning Spicier Harlot Art for HoHH

Last time I tried this the crowdfunding site Marwmellow used to get paid got taken down, which made it very difficult for anyone to commission him.

I've been meaning to try again, but the last month or so has been a grim slog through the code guts of HoHH, keeping me a little too busy.

So, let's try again...

The lovely picture above of Suka in action was not actually commissioned by me. You have smithlfarrel to thank for that (cheers dude!). I tweaked some code and was able to add it to the game with his kind permission.

Marwmellow is open to drawing some more explicit pieces of favourite harlots. I think I might be able to stretch my personal art funds to commission a few myself (and will probably need to while covering the gap to write the last remaining harlots). Those funds are getting a little thin right now, so I'm not sure how many juicier pics I'll be able to commission. Maybe once I get a proper demo out that might result in some renewed interest and financial support.

In the meantime, if people want to help out by commissioning a piece of their fav harlot in action and would like it to be included in the game, I will be only too happy to include it! I've had a few enquiries asking if this is possible and I'd like it to be.

The main issue is sorting out the payment. After boosty was blocked I was able to figure something out with crypto, but it's still fiddly and I wouldn't be surprised if it put some people off last time. The easier option might be to go through me as I already have a payment system in place that's working (for now) to commission marwmellow. I'm fine with acting as a go-between - give me the money plus details of the harlot and which scene, and I can pass that on to marwmellow. If you're on discord, I can also put you in touch with him directly through there.

It does feel a little cheeky to ask backers to also directly fund art for the project, so I hope you'll excuse me for that. Originally, I never thought HoHH would have any art at all. I maybe wouldn't have planned for 100 harlots if I'd known! Even then I didn't think I'd be able to get more than one pinup piece per harlot. Currently, I'm following the example of Monster Girl Dreams, which started text-only, then added character art, and now has a few more juicier pics. We might be able to give all harlots proper H-scene art, or it might just be a few of them. Any is a bonus.

As a mark of gratitude I'll find a place in the game to credit who commissioned the art (unless they wish to stay anonymous). Maybe it can be a sort of Adopt-a-Harlot scheme!

What are people's thoughts on this? I don't know how Patreon or SubscribeStar are for single payments. I can probably accept it through PayPal if that works as well.

The standard amount I'm paying per pinup is $100, although it might be more for a full scene depending on how complex. The commissions usually take about 6 to 8 weeks. I batch them up into groups of 4 to 5 and pay half up front and half on completion.

A fairly important ETA here. While I am paying $100 for most of the pinups, the rate is $100 + $50 per additional character (eg Huntress Diana + her hound was $150). This might bump up the price for H-scene art as there's probably going to a lucky bloke having sexy stuff done to him in there somewhere. It will depend on what marwmellow wants for the commission. Best approach is to give me the description first, I'll run it by him and get a quote.

It does feel a little cheeky asking to crowdsource the spicier art like this. People have asked, though, and I'd definitely love to add some proper H-scenes to HoHH (and we don't have to worry about me being side-tracked by feature creep in this case as the code for additional art is already in place!).

If you're interested comment below or DM me privately. Hopefully we'll be able to sort something out.
