The Empress Card Full-Res & Chapter Update

Here's Naeemah as The Empress in our tarot lineup. Drawn by the fantastic WhiteCat Arts and sponsored by SkySom.

My deepest apologies for the lack of chapter updates this week. I've had a string of difficult life hurdles to face, and I haven't been able to focus. My goal is to get a new chapter up tomorrow and the behind-the-scenes posted in the next couple of days.

All Kickstarter merch will still be shipped...

Cailu The Emperor Tarot Card Full Res by WhiteCat Arts

A few weeks ago, a discussion of Tarot Cards came up in Discord and who would represent what. A fellow author shared a tarot card done by WhiteCat Arts on Twitter, and we were all blown away by her style and attention to detail. 

As you can see, WhiteCat's work is insane. I'll be posting the others as she completes them.

SkySom sponsored the Cailu and Naeemah cards (Emperor and Empress), and Discount Dan...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 228: Alchemist’s Adoration

Destiny sighed as the cool water wet her hoarse throat. She’d hissed more in one day than she had in her entire life. Every other catgirl stopped them to hawk Ravyn expensive jewelry, offer Tristan a great night, or comment on her and Lara’s maid attire. What should’ve been a twenty-minute walk turned into an hour-long trek to the Snapping Goolick Inn.

“What is a goolick?” Tristan asked. He’d taken a seat to Destiny’s left, Lara sitting on his opposite side to shoo away an...

Ravyn in Matt's Outfit Full Size Art by CHUI

PhantomKnight came up with and sponsored the idea of Ravyn in her own version of Matt's outfit. We put her on a street in Washington State (where Matt's from), and it turned out beautifully. CHUI really went all out. 

As always, art is for personal use only :)

Everyone's a Catgirl! Bonus Quest: Little Dove

Happy Father's Day!

---

Cailu woke feeling rested for the first time in weeks. It was shortly before dawn, when gentle purples and oranges painted the sky and offered just enough light for Cailu to study the sleeping Fera beside him. Her raven hair fell in ringlets around her delicate, olive shoulders. Her chest rose and fell in a gentle cadence, and the first peeks of sunlight kissed the tips of her ears that poked through her hair.

Too many mornings, Cailu was for...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 227: Assassin's Plight

Naeemah clapped another ledger shut and pushed it to the side of her desk. Resting her elbows on the polished wood, she massaged her temples with a long, ragged sigh. The room of records told a long, horrific story. One that both infuriated and terrified her with each journal that she scoured.

Ichi Island was in a state far worse than she feared.

Naeemah fingered the corners of a stack of notes she’d culminated since Magni’s death. It was an arduous task that she hoped would b...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 226: Witch's Mirror

As the wagon pulled up to the gate of Shulan, Ravyn tensed. Bittersweet emotions filled her chest as painful memories rose to the surface. Shulan was where she shared her greatest triumphs and her biggest blunders. She’d lost count of all the incredible moments spent here. Yet, somehow, it took less than a dozen bad ones to have her running for the hills. Literally.

A loud voice in her head said it would be an excellent time for a drink. She agreed. Nothing sounded better than unwindi...

Matt & Ravyn Art Full-Res by chaoticmery

I knew as soon as I saw this I had to have it:

A huge thank you to chaoticmery for pulling it off.

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 225: Diekplous

Zahra clutched the Callisto’s railing and emptied the remnants of her stomach into the sea for the second time that morning.

This illness had held her in its clutches since shortly after they’d departed San Island. It had prevented her from being of service to Cailu in his fight against the Defiled the day prior and obstructed her ability to sleep. Every time she tried to rest in the cabins below, claustrophobia and nausea struck her, forcing her back on deck.

She’d...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 224: Periplous

Lara strode behind Master Tristan and Destiny while Ravyn led them to the end of the strip where a row of horses were stabled. Ravyn had been short and concise with her words up until now, and Tristan wore a series of difficult expressions during their trek.

“She’s hard to understand,” Lara mumbled as she tilted her head to one side.

Destiny glanced at her before returning her attention to the young master.

“She has much on her mind,” a wispy voice said beside her....

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 223: Fighting at Anchor

Cannoli clutched the stuffed pink rabbit Matt had gifted her what felt like an eternity ago to her chest. Before they’d left San Island, Ravyn had taken the puffy red ribbon from the dress of her last [Combat Mode] equipment and tied it around the rabbit’s neck.

For good luck, Ravyn had said when Cannoli tried to protest. Don’t stay away forever, alright?

Stroking the long, plush ears, Cannoli breathed long and slow through her nostrils. She was alone in he...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Chapter 222: Raking Fire

For Ceres, there were few sensations in Nyarlea more gratifying than the thrill of combat. The adrenaline pumping through one’s veins, a test of mettle between hero and monster, the pride that came with felling a terrible opponent. It was the ultimate test of skill and heroism, and Ceres wanted for little more.

“Fire!” At Sir Cailu’s command, the cannons rained cannonballs against the tentacled monstrosity. Its appendages flailed in the air, its main body hidden beneath the wild...

Magni & Yomi (Slight NSFW) Sketches by Maon + Extra

Thank you all for helping make the launch of the first EaC! Volume absolutely incredible. We've run out of Keke pins, which is insane. I'm blown away by the support, cheers, reviews, and messages. I'm so proud to be a part of this community, and I look forward to future launches and chapters!

I'll be taking tomorrow off, then back at new chapters on Sunday. 

Attached are two colored sketches of Magni and Yomi by our local racoon, 2023-06-03 05:51:57 +0000 UTC View Post

May Behind the Scenes

The first Volume is officially out! I'm excited, nervous, and overwhelmingly thankful to all of you for joining me in my crazy catgirl endeavors. This month, I wanted to share some of the behind-the-scenes work that went into creating this book.

The Cover & The Logo

I don't know how many of you remember, but this was the first logo for the story:

I whipped it t...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 221: Collision Avoidance

Keke struggled to keep her eyes open as she leaned into her palm. The murmurs of the Golden Dragon were still quiet. The gentle footsteps of patrons and the clinking of nearby dishes only served to send her back to sleep. How many times would it take before she could finally wake up at a reasonable hour like a normal catgirl?

“Where is Matt?” asked a firm voice from the opposite side of the table. “It is time we depart.”

“I’m here, I’m here,” came Matt’s soothing...

Queen Naeemah Full-Res Art by Marshmallow

Here's our beautiful Queen of Ichi Island, Naeemah. Done by the fabulous Marshmallow and sponsored by the incredible SkySom. As always, art is for personal use only :)

New chapter and behind-the-scenes will be up tomorrow. 

See you soon!

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 220: Earthshaker

Ceres’s wallet was louder than Ravyn’s protests after we finished dinner. She covered the Bells and refused to accept any from the rest of us. I have to admit, it was pretty funny to watch Ravyn bursting at the seams to throw everything on Cailu’s tab.

Everyone was in good spirits and happy to be off the boat. We turned in early, and even though there were four beds, Keke still crawled into mine. Not that I’m complaining. It was going to be hard to fall asleep without her. It wa...

Full-Size Ravyn Art by Ali

An incredible piece of Ravyn and Ball by Ali on Skeb. 

This one's for alexlovescoins, who requested Ravyn in this dress. The artist added the sleeves.

Thanks again for your patience while I finish readying the Kickstarter rewards! New chapter tomorrow!

As always, work is for personal use only :)

Naeemah Art WIP by Marshmallow

A WIP of Ichi Island's Queen, Naeemah. Done by Marshmallow. Sponsored by Sky.

Please accept this bribe for the belated chapter. I'll get it (and the Kickstarter update) up tomorrow :)

Thanks, guys!

Everyone's a Catgirl! Side Quest: Dulce de Leche

There wasn’t a better time in all the year to visit Leche. It was the tail end of spring, and the warm sun played as the perfect counterbalance to the cool wind. A gentle breeze caught the reeds of wheat, blowing specks of golden brown into the air.

Lara ran through the wheat field, her golden-blonde hair billowing behind her. Wind was happy today—happier than usual, in fact. As Destiny trailed behind in hopes of catching her sister, Lara occasionally caught the whispers of Wind adv...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Side Quest: Ravyn's Lucky Star

It was raining the day Finnegan stumbled inside the Lucky Star.

His blonde hair was matted and plastered to his face. Blood soaked his right sleeve, and one of the lenses in his glasses was shattered.

“H-help,” he murmured. His knees hit the polished wooden floor. His glasses close behind.

The inn and tavern were quiet—most girls preferred to stay inside on rainy days. Yomi and Ravyn weren’t most girls, though. Some of the rarest Encroachers came out of hiding during...

Full-Res Melly Artwork by Marshmallow

A huge thank you to Sky for sponsoring artwork of Melly. Marshmallow did a terrific job, and we're having them do a regal Naeemah next. 

We'll be seeing more of Melly later. As always, art is for personal use only. :)

New chapters will be up tomorrow and Tuesday. It's been a hectic weekend. But hey, prints and bookmarks are here, so pics of those tomorrow, too! 

See you soon.

NSFW Commission: Yomi's Request

An out-of-canon 2k EaC! commission for DiscountDan. Thanks, Dan!

Prompt: "What if Yomi had just asked him?"

I drank way more than I should have and stumbled back to my room. The girls wished me a good night and stumbled back to their rooms. I may have scored a kiss from all three, or that may have just been my imagination. It was impossible to tell.

As my hand went to the handle of my door, the sound of ...

“It seems the stories of Nyarlothep were not hyperbolic in the least,” Jazz murmured, tracing the rim of her glass with one long finger. A wry smile twitched at the corner of her mouth. “Though the company certainly helps.”

Full-Res Ravyn Volume 2 Artwork by GBS Artworks

The full artwork for Volume 2's book cover is complete!

They look amazing side by side. I'm very fortunate to work with GBS on these. He'll also be designing the audiobook covers for us. Book 3 will feature Ceres on Shi Island when we get there.

Prints of the first cover will be on sale in the shop soon, and I'll do ...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 219: Sapphire of the Emperor

The Port of Meow. Tristan thought he wouldn’t be surprised by the world’s naming conventions after he’d heard terms like ‘Myana,’ and ‘Onyans,’ but this one struck him as funny. Maybe it was the lack of sleep from their conditions on the boat. Every time one of the girls said it, he laughed.

“There are so many people,” Destiny murmured as they entered the port city. “And all the buildings are so close together!”

Lara inhaled a deep breath. “Wind brings so m...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 218: Falling Shadow

I know I shouldn’t have expected Portia to still be there, but I was still a bit disappointed and somewhat uncomfortable by the time we arrived at the Desert Rose in Kandota.

“She is not here,” Cailu said with a raised brow.

“Yeah, I know. I see that. Just, uh, give me a little bit to find her.”

“Perhaps she is on her ship,” Cailu continued.

“Let’s check there,” said Tristan, nodding. “This place probably lost its luster pretty quickly. If she’s...

May [Side Quest] Poll

Yeah, sure, let's give the other guys a chance.

As always, vote once, lest Saoirse smite you :)

Everyone's a Catgirl! Ch. 217: Morphing Advance

Once our trip to Madhyam was at an end, we began our journey back to Kandota where Portia was—hopefully—still residing. The majority of our trip thus far had proven to be fairly uneventful. Encroachers avoided us, digging into the sands or flying away from our group. Occasionally, they would check us out with tilted heads and curious eyes, but for the most part, they left us alone.

It was another melancholy night in the tent when I sat in front of Cailu with my iPaw, legs crossed. I...

Everyone's a Catgirl! Bonus Quest: Dungeons and Dragons

This is a 3k-word commission for the kickass Carmine! It was a ton of fun to put together 5e classes/races/backgrounds for the girls and feel out how a session would go with Matt DMing. I hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do.

“[Sharpshooter]!” Elona cried, hopping up onto a boulder and readying another arrow. The narrow cavern didn’t allow for a lot of free movement, forcing her to utilize the uneven territory in their battle.
