Heskel (Father of Monstrosity) - Art Commission
Done by the talented SaZ (@sazcreates on Twitter and Aqib Shafig on Artstation). I really love how this turned out. Since I gave him quite a bit of leeway with colours and whatnot, the design doesn't fully match how I myself picture Heskel, but I really like this interpretation of him nonetheless. Expect to see more commissions character pieces ...

2023-04-03 10:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostToad Town + Writathon
I decided to participate in the Writathon with Toad Town on RoyalRoad, which means that I'll be publishing a lot of chapters on there to meet the "55k words before May 5th" goal. Because of this, how I give you guys the advanced chapters for Toad Town will change a bit for the following month.
Every Monday (except the 3rd, i.e. in 1½ days), I'll dump all the written chapters I have on the series, for both the Invoker and Ascendant tier. Then, when we get to May, it'll...
2023-04-01 19:12:19 +0000 UTC View PostExiled Realm - 2nd World Arc 'The Fields of Red'
I have made this available to all tiers, but for later Arcs the release will be according to tiers, like with Father of Monstrosity.
Arc 2 begins on Page 144 with the "Allegiance" chapter.
With this, Book 1 of Exiled Realm is concluded.
Sometime in late May or start June, I will begin editing the 3rd Arc and begin releasing it at the rate of probably 2 chapters per week.

Toad Town : ¿Meatball Minion?
From Chapter 16 of Toad Town
Alright, this is the last of these I'll do for a while, but, man, it's pretty amusing how easy it is to get stuff read out in something that isn't Microsoft Sam :o just a shame these tools are all subscription based :|
It was made using ElevenLabs and the pre-made Elli voice

Father of Monstrosity - All Chapters (27-03-23)
Ends with XLVIII. No half-finished chapter this time ^-^'

On April 1st, Ascendants will also get access to everything written on my new series Toad Town, while Invoker and Novitiate ranks will get 9 and 3 advanced chapters, respectively.
Furthermore, on April 1st, all tiers will gain access to Arc 2 of Exiled Realm.
2023-03-27 10:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostToad Town - First 9 Chapters
Since Toad Town just got approved for Royal Road, here are the first 9 chapters.
The plan was to publish them on here on April 1st, but I already have two other things going out there, so I figured I might as well do it now.

Was gonna hold on to this for April 1st, but here ya go.
Stare into the eyes of the Hypno Toad and become interested in reading the story right away!
Warning: It's really dumb.

Toad Town cover + 1st Chapter
My friend Jack0fheart made this fantastic cover using a mix of Art Generators and digital elbow grease.
Since I've been feeling rather all over the place lately, I've decided to already release the first few chapters of Toad Town early, rather than wait for April 1st.
I have yet to submit the story to RoyalRoad, but it only takes about a day or two to go through. Once i... 2023-03-24 19:13:32 +0000 UTC View Post
Just added a Discord
You may have noticed a sudden invite to Discord, hope it wasn't jarring or disturbing ^-^'
Anyway, I have set up a discord, though it is still rather jank, but hopefully we can all chat on there. Of course, you're still welcome to reach out to me via the Patreon Message, if that's more to your liking.

Unpublished Lowest Tier
Heya,
Since there hasn't been any interest in my lowest tier, as in, 0 interest, I have unpublished it for now. It may return if there comes a time when people are interested in the option, but currently I'm just doing a bunch of work for nothing, so this will allow me to optimise my own efficiency for managing Patreon.
'Exiled Realm' Cut Content: 'The Hamlet' Stage in Arc 1
To those of you who have read 'Exiled Realm' Arc 1, you might recall the mention of "The Hamlet" in the Chapter called "The World Architect".
This Chapter was something I cut after getting feedback from Portal Books, who almost signed Exiled Realm, though eventually decided not to, as my story was not deemed heroic or uplifting enough ^-^'
Well, I was always fond of this cut Stage, but ultimately feel like the way the World Architect scene plays out is m...

Father of Monstrosity - All Chapters (20-03-23)
The last All Chapters ended at XXXXIII, which was not finished at the time, and this one ends at the beginning of XXXXV, which currently only has the first paragraph. I was really busy with work last week, but there'll be four new chapters in the next one of these on the 27th.
On April 1st, Ascendants will also get access to everything written on my new series Toad Town, while Invoker and Novitiat...

So, V5 of MidJourney is out, and it has some new good tricks, but it seems harder to generate some of the awesome pics of the past versions. However, I fed it my current FoM cover and these are some of the results. The first one may end up being the cover of the sequel book to FoM, provisionally titled "Sovereign Monstrosity". Granted, that's still a couple months out yet, even for you fine folks who get chapters early.
As I've mentioned prior, I'd love to get a commissioned co...

NOTE: Started adding images to these, cause it looks neat ^-^' this one is an imagined rendition of Ciana, though, whatever she looks like in your head is equally right. Also, it's lacking her horns, so it's definitely not right xD

Heya everybody,
Here's kind of a monthly update about stuff related to Patreon and the books I'm writing, as well as some real-world stuff.
Patreon design alterations:
Just wanted to let you know that I changed the tier icons and descriptions (the rewards are the same obviously), so don't fret if your tier now has a different icon.
Previously, I made the tier symbols according to some Chthonic icons I designed in the past, but now they are more-or-les...
2023-03-15 23:36:21 +0000 UTC View PostFather of Monstrosity art
These are all the attempts at cover art that I have not shown anyone before, but, not all of it turned out great either. It's really a mixed bag with Art Generators, just a shame that the artists who are really great at creepy artstyles don't have a lot of time to make stuff like this.
So far I've contacted several people on DeviantArt to see if they'd be interested in making a cover, but have gotten no reply. I've also tried messaging Richard Luong, the guy behind 2023-03-14 08:24:39 +0000 UTC View Post
