With a nice little hostage, the alpha certainly has the upper hand. Would be a shame if it did something stupid now and messed it all up....

Finally, the next part of the story is done. I have no idea why it took so long. For some reason I was doing way more procrastinating than usual. Updates will be posted on discord ASAP.
The next update will focus more on the introduction of a new story. Now that big game hunting is pretty much done, something needs to fill th...

FYI there is a discord server now. I figured that would be a better place for discussions about my art than the patreon comments section, and would also allow you to share your own art, talk about other things, see the works in the archive without having to go through google drive or mega and other things.
If you don't have access yet and want it, you need to link the patreon to discord. Do that and you will be let in.

And so the main story is nearing its end. There might be one more main story update, if I decide to show an actual rescue. I am still considering a few images of the 'worst case scenario' version, but I'm not sure.
Then there are the alternative versions, which has been updated until p33.
Images will be posted on the discord too, soon. I'm actually quite pleased t...

There are 6 new images in the story. I also made some minor changes to the backgrounds in the original 5 images that were posted 2 weeks ago. Then there is a prequel image I am working on: a scene of vehicle maintenance on base. The linework WIP is added here, and in the WIP folder in the archive. I hope you enjoy.

Time for more spider related shenanigans. I am restarting actual rescue party, after almost a year. We start off just after p16 (p17-20 never happened), about an hour after the succesful rescue. Looks like the CO is not too pleased with people taking long showers. Someone needs to go check, and that's what subordinates are for, regardless of whether they are busy or not.
The 3 other images in this update are only in the archive. There have been some redesigns of the APC, the alpha...

Evie's sleeping quarters on base. As a low level disposable hunter, she doesn't get much. There isn't a lot more to her room then what you see here.
Could it all just be a bad dream? [No].

In the second update of the month, we are continuing Evie's ordeal. The story is deviating a bit from the original, I hope you like.
The image here shows a glimpse of the base and life when not in trouble :p. Doing a high risk job comes with some perks, like access to the base lounge with a pretty nice view, and a mug with your unit's logo.

Hey everyone,
Just a general patreon update here. It's probably a bit of bad news (but important for this place so please read the whole thing, so you know what's going on).
You may have noticed I have not posted anything in a few weeks. Well, it looks like I have lost all motivation to draw. One day a couple of weeks ago it just disappeared. Every day since then I have tried to draw stuff, anything, but it just ends with me staring at a blank canvas for a while before i giv...

In this update there are 2 endings to the marine biology story.
The storyline where the exapod wins ends with p27. The one where Liz wins starts just after p16, and shows in 2 images how all this went exactly as planned.
I also switched the variants and the main story, I think I like the version where the hexapod tears off her clothes much more, so I will keep that one as the main stor...

This update took a bit longer than I had planned for. Even now I don't think it is quite finished. I will refine it after working on something else first. Even in its current state, it shows the story progression quite nicely.
I am not sure whether I will keep doing stories in comic format or not. I feel single images are of better quality than these comics. Or maybe a weekly update schedule is too much and I need...

I have decided to finish this story. I had it all planned out with 2 different endings for 2.5 years, maybe it's time to finish it. The main story will be 7 images, at least as I have it now.

This is still my favourite story I have ever done, it was my first and it has been going downhill from there. With the end of Marine Biology in sight, I should think of a new story. Actually, I have a few I can do that already have been sketched out: an adventurer encountering a carnivorous plant or a type of slime mold (think sc screep), spiders causing trouble in a biolab or a part 2 to gastr...

This week's update is the first one of the 'less than ideal' ending, at least for Elizabeth (meaning she doesn't get away). There was supposed to be a 4th image here, but eventually I decided that one will need some more tweaking. That will come next time.

A little marine biology story update this time. From this point onwards, there are basically 2 endings that I have planned out: one where she gets out of this mess with her prize, and one where she doesn't. So I think there are ~2-3 updates left in this story.

All the basic elements of the story are here: Evie, the monster, the environment, the slime. I might refine the backgrounds a bit, since these are quite rough in places, but in general, this is the look I am going for.
The main antagonist is a snow lizard (page 4, name might change if i can come up with something better). It's another slime spitter, with strong jaws, excellent for biting. It is fat and slow, definitely not a nimble fighter. It pref...

I wanted to share the original original commission that slugworm trouble is based on.
The story features Lys, part dragon, 100% badass, taking on colony of spidercrabs. We all know how this is going to turn out, even if you didn't see the slugworm story yet.
The spidercrabs themselves are a mix between headcrabs in appearance and spiders (hence the name). Unlike most of the critters we have seen so far, these use genetic material of their hosts to hopefully create supe...

So I received a couple of comments about Evie's outfit not being approprate for the situation, or not being realistic. I mean, the scenarios I draw out are not exactly realistic anyway, but I try to have things make sense within the context of the stories.
Now I'm interested in your opinion: should I do outfits more like what I showed for Evie before, with the heels and ventilation, or would something like this be preferable (just a minor edit, to give an idea):

In this week's update, character designs and the setting for big game hunting (the second image is a first version of page 1 of the story). I made some slight changes to the character, and yes we have seen her before. This takes place some time before rescue party, when Evie is still a solo adventurer, just doing her thing. This takes place in the mountains that were in the background of some of the other stories. And for this time of year, a snowy adventure just seems right.

It doesn't look like everything's going to fit. It's all fine though, at least one more usable fleshy pouch has been identified. It'll make good use of the rest of her, once it retrieved all the eggs.

This week's update is all about Jasmine and her embarrassing slugworm encounter.
Let's just hope for Jasmine's sake, that the adult slugs like her work and want to keep her around. Otherwise she might end up as slug food, which is definitely the worst of the 2 possible outcomes. She's not counting on rescue, she's fully aware of the poor track record of the local SAR department.
Jasmine also discovered that the only way out of the cocoon is if the slugs let her, one wa...

Another lesson Elizabeth is learning the hard way: if your suit has an opening, critters can get in, or something. Also, hexapod slime is actually not that strong, but hexapods themselves are.
This is turning out to be a very educational encounter for her.
