Scene 4 - Characters Only

Went back and forth on posting this as it is or waiting, but I'm currently finishing up the characters in the rest of the chapter so I'm not doing backgrounds or text right now. There's 1 page missing at the start of this but that's mostly backgrounds.

The scene I teased at I was having issues with, mostly that it was trying to do too much at once. That's where this scene came from, and why the other part is now the ending of the chapter. Felt more climactic than where I thought th...

Teaser Image

Is this better than a WIP post? Maybe not- but I thought it was kind of fun :3

It's an important scene since it's the start of the conflict of the story for Honey- it's longer than the other two combined- and spicy scene means spicy artwork, which is harder to do-
And all that means a lot of work for Red to do, but hopefully it sticks the landing <3

Extra bits

This was just a bit of practice for the progression in the visuals, and the design of the tattoo- The tattoo took me about 2 days but it's still not done

Yeah she's mirrored here, that was on accident lol

Scene 2 - Debt (I'm back)

For those wondering from February 4th to the 14th I was unable to work because I couldn't pay for my medication.

But lemme know your thoughts on the story itself and the direction it's moving in- Again I apologize for the long wait, I basically had to make an entire arc from scratch that goes into the story I originally had planned. I really didn't know how big of an arc this was going to be.

Scene 2 - Debt

Sorry - WIP - about 75% of the way done, but I can't stress the irony of the subject matter that this is the scene I would end up going broke on

So I'm about to post the first scene to Eka's now that I have something to show-

On a side note, assuming I'm able to continue- I'll say it on here first that if you're interested in one of the minor character slots that get eaten, or eat someone you can message me. I'm giving away those for free- I figure it's more fun that way than i...

Scene 1 - Reflection

The script is done, and because I had to work backwards to fix the problem I was having with it the script for chapter 2 is done too

What was the problem? It just didn't feel like a cohesive story, and that's because I did something dumb- I never actually introduced any of the characters, so it was never really clear what any of the characters were actually trying to do. I had this idea like I was going to introduce the main character as a "mystery antagonist" at first, to try and sho...

(WIP) If you squint a little...It's actually starting to look like a thing xd

Alright- told myself I would slap down an update today no matter what so here's where were at- And the change I'll be talking about here is:

A New Intro!

I really didn't want to do a narrated intro just to explain the premise -ORIGINALLY - Those types of introduction scenes can sometimes feel a little cliche, but you know what's worse than cliche? Boring-

Boring like 2 dudes talking- or worse, a dude talking to his old neighbor.. Yeah I'm glad I ...

Wrapping up 2 loose ends

Both old, first one I had mostly done but it wasn't finished, and the version I had just wasn't working.. so I scrapped the last page to publish the rest of it

This is the first version:

So what was the problem? Well I couldn't figure that out at the time, it just looked boring, which it was. The fix was letting her take up more of the space in the frame, and changing her pose to be a tiny ...

The Writing

The story here is about a traveler's guild escorting a noble on his first 'solo journey' outside of his hometown- He may be an adult but it's his parents that actually pay for everything, so it was his parents that made him wait till a high ranking traveler's guild member to accompany him.

This was already a devastating blow to his pride, and that was before finding out who would be leading him- a woman. Everything that follows is pretty much 100% o...

About ~55 hours since the last time if you're curious

That is why I do the formless blobs on a first draft... For right now I'm kind of painting in broad strokes. Not trying to get any individual part done, just trying to get something together that you guys can judge for yourself whether you're interested in it or not - because I think there can be different types of adult comics driven by...

Boobs, butts, buildings, and bois

And a bit of a rewrite... still 63 pages, nothing too crazy- but a lot more connected.. and hopefully more satisfying :3

I do this for almost everything I make, the writing itself takes the same approach as the art, where it slowly comes into focus as I continue to work on it. The key moments that hold the story together are the first to be done, and the "details" get filled in towards the end, like specific dialogue

..Or names.... I really suck at names. Like Honey, why Honey...

Happy Thanksgiving ;)

Posting this with the full rough version of chapter 1, I figured this would help it go down easier... pun intended :3

The full rough - VERY rough

63 pages.. And originally I was going to do these 3 chapters in 2

There's also 12 pages of chapter 3 that are in color at this point - but that's a story for another day, literally (it was commissioned for)

Sorry for another rough version, but good news, it's the last one for this chapter lol. I know my sketches are not much to look at, because it's done in tandem with the writing so what makes sense to me visually isn't going to mean much to others

As I said I have 12 pa...

WIP 2 - The Hound and the Dragon

Slapping this one on here so it's not a mystery what I'm doing - This is the first half for this chapter :3

LOTS of placeholder art, but this is just what the early versions of my stuff looks like - I don't know how many WIP posts is too many but I can tell for something like this zero is too few

I have no idea how long this all took me, since a lot of it was in writing, but I know that first shot of the clockwork city took about 10 hours, which honestly I was pretty pleased wit...

This was all just mostly today! There's more to it as well, but already Im pretty happy with it even in comparison to the last animation, which I learned a lot from. This'll be getting more polish than the last one for sure, but Im not too worried about it, animation for whatever reason works a lot better with my adhd brain.

On another note I did some of the last bit of writing these past...

THE Work is in progress

I wish there was like an opt in feature for WIP posts, but I figured it was necessary after having a momentary crisis like I did. I'm alright now, and I'm doubling down on this.... I have a really good storyline for this that I genuinely believe in, and I'm sticking to it. I think I've grown enough as an artist and a writer to actually pull this off, or give a really good effort.

This and the one titled "I Wanna Go Home" is basically the prologue to the vore ser...

I LOVE a good rescue plot in an anime.

Especially when one of them is a coward... Well as long as they're written well, or just not named Zenitsu from Demon Slayer. Bravery is meaningless without meaningful fear, and overcoming that fear for the sake of others I always find compelling

So go on little dude - Go power of friendship her ass :D
