Updates

As stated in the previous post, I have been working on the comic. I have completed 64 renders and am working on the video game inserts. Once that is finished, I will assemble the entire comic for release.

This process has helped me organize my thoughts and not burn myself out trying to keep releasing small tidbits. People's patience has wained and I have lost support. But my mental health needs to take precedence at some point.

And the winner is - 3rd Person

I will be working on rendering all the little in-game scenes this coming week. Then once that is done - I can begin assembling the full comic for you guys.

I haven't been releasing tidbits, as I have found that it is more stressful and anxiety-inducing to try to push out page by page. In an attempt to help my mental state, I have been producing behind-the-scenes to give you guys one big picture.

more coming soon!

Which Video Game Style do you prefer?

I have been rendering out all the growth scenes in the actual apartment. And now I need to render out the video game inserts to show what is happening in the game to cause the changes to Stephen's Body. My question to you guys is:

Which style do you prefer?

• Oldschool

• 3rd Person

Uh-oh...

More Comic coming soon!

Growth Quest Pages 1-2

As I post this, I am assembling more pages, but I wanted to get these out to you now!

More coming very soon

GROWTH Quest - Short

What if what happened to you in the video games started to affect you in real life???

Here is the start of a short story. Our main character, Stephen, has built his Avatar to start playing a mysterious video game that showed up in his mail.

I am all over the place with ideas, and I am using this opportunity to try to let my creativity roam free so I can better tackle my anxiety/depression.

At this moment, I ask for grace and support to crea...

New Character

Working on the comic and a few other things to release to you guys in a bit. But I wanna show you a preview of a new sculpt 😈

What kind of trouble might he be getting into

Winter Storm - Some time to work

Snowed / Iced in for the next day or so... which is giving me some time to begin to play around with the next section of our comic. Having fewer distractions in the day-to-day has given me some creative clarity, and I'm taking advantage of that for sure! Looking at creating imagery for the next section:

"In the days that followed, Ethan’s life took on a strange new rhythm. Trucks rolled in and out of the barn regularly, large, hulking vehicles that carried off his cows and left behind...

Nosferatu

As I said in my Previous Post, I've still been creating - I just have been feeling "off," and that is being remedied.

I had the opportunity to see Nosferatu on New Year's Eve, and I loved it. So naturally, I wanted to create something about it.

It's not my usual thing - but I did want to share it with you all. I feel like there must be some vampiric muscle growth story somewhere...

Mental Health Checkin

Hi everyone,

This isn’t an easy post to write, but I believe in being open with you because your support has been more than just financial—it’s been a lifeline. This winter has been one of the most challenging seasons I’ve faced. Coming out of the holidays, I found myself overwhelmed by something I couldn’t just push through: depression.

I haven't wanted to admit how much I was struggling for a while. I felt stuck, spinning my wheels creatively, and every time I tried to...

Special Image Release

After the holiday, I needed a palette cleanser to get my wheels spinning again. So, I have a special image release for you all! We're back in action and firing on all cylinders!

Pete

Drove “home” this weekend and got to spend some time with family. After some good time off, I’m back at MY home base, and will be busy working the rest of this week!

PETE and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to give you an update on where things stand with the latest pages of the comic. Earlier this week, everything was moving along really well, and I was excited about the progress I was making. However, on Thursday evening, after spending three hours carefully setting up the scene for rendering, my program crashed.

At first, I thought it was just a minor setback—frustrating, sure, but something I could recover from by restarting and rebuilding. Unfortunately,...
