Update
Added 2025-06-07 04:05:41 +0000 UTCProbably what sounds like usual I'll start with an apology. I got sick back to back last month. The first one wasn't too bad and is where I was still trying to work on stuff. The worse was that it completely obliterated my voice. My voice was gone for a good 2 weeks along with a pretty nasty fever. I think it permanently took what lil singing ability I had lol. The second one hit my body a lot harder when I was recovering from the first. In fact I'm still recovering from what I assume is the flu with the last one possibly giving me acute pneumonia given my coughs. But I am recovering from it. Still feeling the fatigue.
I didn't get as much done as I would of liked, so I didn't finish coloring page 5 of Crimson King's Summer's Dream. Or another pic for Flexible for Moaja. Or even started on doing that fix on the first ZST Francine animation. I know, I suck. I barely touched on the Trixie animation.
What I did do was end up working on a much bigger project I've been conflict on whether to share or not for multiple reasons. Some could probably be guessed. But I decided I'd cross those bridges when it came to it. I am working on a game. Tho it wasn't the one I was expecting to share.
The game/idea of it is: You play as my OC Phage. Or rather one of her parasites. The game starts with a weakened Phage crawling in the vents of the Smith House. The one from American Dad. Francine Smith is going to be the first victim. At first it'll play as a stealth thing. The whole idea is to invade Francine's body and then use her to nourish Phage XD. But there will be a bit more to it than that and if you get caught it'll turn more into like a boss battle. I don't wanna spoil too much of what I have planned but I hope people will like it. Funny enough the game was originally meant to be more of a walking simulator but it got lewded pretty heavily somehow lol. The project is just going to be a side thing that I have on here and that I'll share as I get a demo setup. I'm not sharing the game for money, but rather because I want to give more to the peeps who have been helping me out get awesome stuff made. It'd be nice if I could do it for money lol, but given the characters involved I can't although I am considering down the line, when things are more setup, to replace the licensed characters with my own. For now tho it's just a lil treat.
You guys might remember that I had an environment that looked like the Smith House for the Lois/Francine absorption vid. I completely remade that. The entire living room, along with partial bits of the rest of the first floor, and the start of the second floor has been completed. I was just playing around with it at first because the mesh model and my UV works was shitting on me so I needed a distraction in between that and coloring the 2d pics, but I ended up really getting into it. I might upload some pics.
Point is that the environment for the initial play area of the demo I want to make was 98% completed before I got hit heavy by the flu. I just finished it the other day when I got some energy back. Just barely so hopefully there aren't many mistakes. There isn't a game yet tho. I will post when there is one, but it will still be for patrons only. Right now I still need to get Francine and Phage's models ready, create animations and figure out Godot.
So enough about how I fell below standard this month let's move on to the updates from peeps who did get stuff done. You'll find that on the homepage of my site there is a new "Public Stuff" category that is as titled.
Public Works/Crimson King: 5 images of a gift to that Chinese artist with the blue OC gal who likes possessing peeps. They have been really kind in including Phage in multiple of their works. So while it isn't much I asked Crimson to help make a gift of 5 images involving my OC Phage, and 萌菌冰雪灵's OC Xiaobing taking over the character Ino Yamanaka. I think it came out really nice. It is a public image so I plan to upload to my sites like twitter and Ekas at some point.
Regarding Crimson King's Summer's Dream, how do you guys feel about the artstyle/faces of the characters? Would you prefer Summer and Beth to look more like their original art style or are you fine with how they currently look? I'd really like to know.
Commissioned Works/Dan Habiki: An updated version of page 4 for Ghost Vanilla and Rouge has been added as well as a new lined Page 5. I don't want to rush the artist so I don't pester them for updates, but boy I can't wait to keep going on what I have planned with these two XD.
Commissioned Works/NAT TPM: Two more sketch pages of Starfire vs Inque added as well page colored pages 3 and 4. To be honest I kind of regret not doing my usual slowed pacing for this. The artist is really open to the stuff I want and I feel I could of slowed things down. So I sent them a new script that has briefly extended how the rest of the comic is meant to go. I hope peeps still enjoy.
Commissioned Works/Votakwot: I know peeps have been waiting a while for this one lol. And I do apologize on that. As I wrote, I think a small break was needed from the project and animation is not easy. However! It is done.
Page 49(animated and colored) has been added to Dictatorship. Page 50 and the 3 anniversary variants have been added to Dictatorship. We'll see if we can get back on track for the comic.
And when I figure out how I should go about sharing the previews for patrons different from customers, I plan to upload some of the images for the small image sequence body invasion between Zaida and Joanna to ya peeps.
Commissioned Works/ZST XKN: A small teaser for the next animation loop shared. The longer planned animation is still going to kind of happen, but if I didn't mention it before it ended up being a lot of trouble. Like it just wasn't gonna work how we planned and it came out not looking so great to the artist. So we decided to keep to small loops tho I still plan to extend upon the scenes not originally in the comic.
Oh and before I forget, to be honest I'm still on the fence about cancelling all the patreon stuff. It'd probably shed a lil stress, but at the same time I'd lose out on what is essentially the commission budget and I've come across a lot of good artists I'm really happy to work with. And Id probably just stop everything outright if I stopped now...but I guess I dont want to right now because despite the numbers going low, the content I think is nice and I hope peeps think that too.
Alright till next month I guess. Let me know if you guys have anything to say by commenting below

Thank you for your thoughts. I do enjoy making the content still, but yeah the money just dropping more and more is making it tougher lol. Not that I blame anyone but myself for not making the 3d animations I know peeps wanna see. I appreciate ya saying that tho and that its cool if I take a break. I might. Not sure yet. However yes I will let everyone know if I do decide to do that and will let peeps grab whatever they please within a certain amount of time ofc.

I want to see you continue creating content, but if it's not bringing in enough to make it worthwhile, and you're not enjoying it anymore, then I support you in taking the break you need, even if that ends up being permanent. If you do, please give us an opportunity to pull down all of your current content before you lock it away.
