August Behind the Scenes Part 2

Hey everyone! We made it to the end of August! Hooray! Things are back on track and we're excited to start shipping out Volume 4 paperbacks in the next couple of weeks!

Art

The next NSFW artwork from Aridan is of Portia! I realized we hadn't had any done of her in a long time, and I'm very excited to see this WIP finished:

Bonus Yukari that Ry's having done (she's his character):

Ceres's sexy sticker design is all finished thanks to Lulu and Sky. The other three girls are in the mail and I'm excited to see how they turned out as stickers. I'll get Ceres on the next Vograce order.

They look great together!

Next up will be Ai, sponsored by Lady Toast. Hers will be a bit different in composition, but I'm excited to see what Lulu does with her.

I plan on releasing Tongues and Tails in the next couple of months. It's a series of short NSFW pieces that I've written for clients with a slew of different kinks. Rock Cr has been hard at work helping me create a cover for it:

Next month's acrylic pin will feature Cailu. Kirti has to have Halloween, so he'll be up first. I'm still deciding on what kind of pose I want for him. Every "Dad at the beach" meme comes to mind...

Lastly, Saphira is coming along very nicely in her tarot card by WhiteCat and sponsored by Janna!

Volume 4 Paperback Preorder Update

I've upgraded everyone's Naeemah prints from 5 x 7's to 9 x 12's as a thank you for your patience. They recently arrived and they look gorgeous:

Everyone who preordered book 4, regardless of which bundle, from the Merchants of Nyarlea will also receive an Agni sticker for free (these shipped this weekend, so it's the last box we're waiting on):

The paperback proof arrived, and I made just a few tweaks to the cover formatting, then ordered everyone's copies. They're supposed to get here on Wednesday:

All of the coins arrived, and I'll be sending different display stands with them this round. We had issues with the fist stands snapping during transit. So these will be the new displays:

Rogue Skills

Since Portia's been our focus this week and the center for our NSFW piece this month, here are a few [Rogue] Skills she has access to:
