Handbook of Erotic Fantasy:

Bard’s Big Fucking Bestiary: BBEGs

There is no such thing as a “standard” BBEG. One is as likely to encounter ravening dragons or fallen angels as scheming queens. The implications for a practiced fucksman are obvious: One cannot rely upon species or physiology in the name of conquest. To be sure, you may reference earlier entries in this guide to tailor your particular approach to bedding your particular BBEG. However, in my (very) extensive experience, there are...

Facet Book I: A Mirror in Reverse - 02

Facet will be a strip comic, with every 2-3 strips combining to form a full size comic page, so the posts will vary in height but not width. I've wanted to try this kind of layout for years and I'm really excited for it as a design challenge, but it also allows me to keep up with a non-crazy posting schedule.

This strip gives us the first look at the Ruby Plague that has been ravaging Xodarris for the past decade. Infected are known colloquially as just "Rubies" and can be easily detec...

Facet Book I: A Mirror in Reverse - 01

Welcome to the world of Xodarris, and the City of Jerigor, which is tucked into that mountain in the background of this panel.  It'll take a bit for our story to get into the city, but in the meantime let's talk about these mountains! They're formed from softer rock, similar to limestone, that has been worn down by storms and changes in sea level over time, leaving the unique formations, as well as a network of caverns and tunnels under the city itself.

Xodarris is a ringed planet...

Sneak Preview Incoming!

I've mentioned a few times that I've been working on something big this year, and it's a brand spanking new comic called Facet that will start in August! As I get ready for launch, I'm going to be posting early comics before the site is even live, development sketches and some other behind the scenes info on this new story.

Facet is an original fantasy adventure story, set on a strange planet that is struggling with the sinister spread of parasitic minerals,...

Handbook of Erotic Fantasy: Compromise

First there came a great many explanations. The intricacies of superhero life. The necessity of wearing the mask. The truth of a closely guarded secret. 

“So you’ve always been a horse?” 

“Unicorn, actually. But yes.” 

Then there were the recriminations. She grew tearful, hurt by his deception. Then she grew angry, incredulous at her own foolishness. 

“How could I have been so blind?” 

“Yeah… Your Perception score isn’...

Handbook of Erotic Fantasy: Switcheroo

"This doesn't look like an emergency," he said.

Overhead the great spotlight, with its enormous letter "H," shone brightly against the clouds. It was meant for emergency use only, but no bank robberies were in progress. There didn't seem to be any kaiju attacking. Her Highness looked resolutely un-kidnapped. She stood, in fact, with a pair of goblets in hand and a slight smile on her lips.

"Trust me," she said. "It has been an emergency for some time now. And unless I am much mi...

Handbook of Erotic Fantasy: Potion of Lover’s Delight

The words slithered through the market. They coiled behind the wheel of a costermonger's cart, narrowly dodged the hooves of some plodding draft beast, and — against all odds — managed to slip inside a royal coach. This was no one’s fault, of course. What bodyguard or man-at-arm’s could be held to account? Such gallant fellows are set to hold halberds high and straight, polish breastplates to a mirror finish, and scan crowds for cloaked maniacs wielding envenomed lengths of steel.&nbs...
