Bonus Commission - Putting the Squeeze On

Two days in a row posting something from entirely new artists. Savour this moment as this is not likely to come around again anytime soon :D 

And what fantastic art it is that Anthology has provided! Love pretty much anything about this. To pick just one detail I do like the tattoo that you might recognise from another commission also featuring those naughty Aversol gangs who are up to no good.

The 97th No Haven Commission - Kreen Caravan Raid Aftermath

Always exciting when I get to share a new artist's work for the first time for the game. 

Crocodilchik did a lovely job on this kreen lady, and had no issues whatsoever to work with, which is always nice when that happens. If this goes over well I'll certainly consider using them again. 

You can find a link to their work here where you can also check out their Boosty: ...

Fortnightly Progress - 30th March

• No Haven

Currently on the planning out and writing stage. Decided to do things differently for this update and going forward too. What I used to do was minimal planning and then do absolutely everything in RAGS as I go including all the writing. I'd then copy the text as I go into a document for backup in case of crashes and typo catching. 

What I'm doing now is all the planning out and writing in a doc and then when all that's done I'll be able t...

The 96th No Haven Commission - Laughing Trickster Priestess

Joix returns for another one, and man what another one.

So much to love here. Though highlight for me has to be the pubic hair design which I worried might be too much but that the detail that Joix loved the most :D

Similar background to the one used for Gone for a Soldier though the banner on this one has definitely seen better days.. Love the graffiti too.

The 95th No Haven Commission - Desert Neko

The decidedly vivacious Verax returns for their fourth outing, and speaking personally this is by my favourite of the ones they've done for me. 

There's just so much character to this one. Showing the pounce rather than the proceeding stalk was entirely their idea, and I love how they pulled it off in practice. Those sand dwelling kitties look suitably fierce and the orkhai's startled '...oh bugger' is just as good. I also like her earrings which share a colour with the hair dye us...

Fortnightly Progress - 16th March

• No Haven

Been mainly been doing the planning for the whole bunch of assignments in this update to fill in previously done commissions. Today was puzzling out what I'm going to do with that spa drider one. Still don't even have a name for that one that I'm entirely happy with yet. 

Rough gist is that it's going to be like inverse Hold Back the Dark where you send your guys and gals to the mountains again but this time you want to be nice to them. T...

The 94th No Haven Commission - Land Piracy

The simply stupendous Starli is back for yet another one, and once again brings something really great.

I love the expresssions especially but the terror-bird (previously seen in the company of a certain single asanei femail lawyer) is great too. The pirate stamp on their butts was also a fun touch.

The 93rd No Haven Commission - Ripe for Exploitation

Seriously impressed by the turnaround on this one as this was one of the winners from the most recent finished poll. Given that I've got one outstanding now from January of last year with another aritst that makes it even more so. 

It's also the first time out for a new artist in Ramionn. They did some work for one of my patrons. I was impressed with their stuff, and given I also got a reccomendation too, I wanted to give them a go myself. 

I really hope you like it as t...

Alternative March Commission Poll

To sort out the first order of business:

So it's just the soldiers that are not getting depicted from the final results of the Up to Feb poll. (Also it should have been expected how long this was tied in the last couple of days :D )

For those that are new the purpose of these polls are:

The idea with these ones is to improve the flow of art for the games by doing some mor...

Fortnightly Progress - 2nd March

Finallly had that eyes appointment at the hospital. Didn't go as well as I'd hoped, as I'd really wanted to hear they were entirely better. They have at least improved enough that I can occasionally wear contact lenses again which is so much better than being stuck wearing glasses. Seeing them now in June so ideally I'll get the all clear then.

HMV - Blondes so Sweet

No your eyes do not decieve you. I've actually finally finished another HMV.

This was a commission like the Ass Up one from all the way back in the May of 2019, and the guy who funded it showed incredible patience given I've been working on this on, and mostly off, for about a year. They were very understanding that the game development side of things came first for me, and this was something I'd every so often do in time where I'd normally otherwise be chilling out. Thankfully video ...

No Haven 0.981 TF Edition - Hotfix

Hey got this within that 7-10 days I mentioned from the Update. Plan now is to give it another 7-10 days and if this seems to at least be mostly sorted this will be the public release. If not then I'll do one more hotfix here, then that will definitely be the public release, Already made a start on 0.99 so either way that's not going to hold up work on that.

Fortnightly Progress - 16th February

Been way too long since I've done a proper one of these.

Okay so the straw that broke the came's back was my eye appointment getting cancelled on me at the beginning of Jan. It didn't quite lead to me sitting naked in a coffee shop but it wasn't far off. That's not going to be until the end of this month now, the new appointment not the public nudity, and while I think the eyes are a lot better than they were, actual confirmation would be wonderful. Being able to wear contact lenses aga...

The Combined up to Feb Commission Polls

To catch up what I'm going to do with this one as I owe two main commision polls (Nov/Dec and Jan/Feb) and an Alternate (Jan) is that both the first place and second place in these polls will win and get their commmissions done. Whatever comes in third I'll have an Alternate one included for each option and that will also get a comm. That'll get back up to date for the next one in March. 

Nice to see there's actually been a fair bit of movement in the below and I've tidied it up a ...

Bonus Commission - Sphynx

Now this one has been long in every definition of the word. 

Right I'll put the grousing in a quotation so you can skip past it to me saying nice stuff about D-Merry

So once upon a time I commissioned an artist to do a bonus. Roll on about a year later and nothing has happened outside of a sketch. Ended up getting the piece off Starli. 

Roll on another year and the artist offers to do something else to make up for it. As recently (well re...

No Haven 0.98 - TF Edition

Well I've had better starts to a year. Will have a talk about that on the next fortnightly in a couple of days, but for now I'll just say I'm very sorry about the going silent thing and that I've kept you waiting for so long. Got plenty else to do to put it lightly so you'll be hearing from me a whole bunch in the next days and weeks.

That out the way I hope you enjoy this update. Highlights are definitely the new recruitment options where you can more customize the right kind of slaver...

Alternative November Commission Poll

Twas the night before christmas and not a creature was stirring apart from muggins here putting up a commission polll that should have gone up last month. 

As mentioned in the last fortnightly this is going to be a short but sweet one with this running until the end of the month, then I'll do the November/December one up until the 10th, and then I'll be back on track for January's. 

To knock out one other piece of outstanding business I've finally gone back and seen what...

Fortnightly Progress - 15th December

Sorry for the silence. 

Accentuating the positive this is the first week since the last fortnightly that I haven't had to go to the hospital for my eyes at least once. Record was four times in one week which is basically a commute at that point. Currently on three different kind of eye drops, one I'm taking hourly which is fun, and I'm seeing the proper specialists in mid Jan to hopefully sort this out for good. 

Thankfully eyes are better than they were, still a struggl...

Fortnightly Progress - 21st November

So PSA I guesss. Turns out if you have persistent issues with your eyes which I've mentioned a couple of times in the last month or so and put it down to allergies it may not actually be allergies. Also do not do what I did for several weeks which was trust Dr. Google that this level of light sensivity was down to stress and/or anxiert (which to be fair checked out) and would go away in time. Finally worked out last monday this was getting silly, stopped being a bloody fool,  and booked ...
