Chapter 11 Cover

New chapter starts tonight! :D

Quick Note About the Next Chloe Page

Hey guys just a heads up here that I'm taking one Monday off from the Chloe comic because the next TRW chapter needs a cover and there's no way I'll be able to swing a Chloe page AND a cover in the same work window. Chloe's story will continue the next Monday! :)

This Romantic World Page 418

Chapter complete! :D

I personally think fourth wall breaks should be used sparingly, but I felt it really called for one here. How else was I going to explain that a chapter entitled "Beach Party" ended without anyone ever going to the beach?

As for what happened I don't really have a concrete excuse other than that I failed to foresee where I wanted things to go in this chapter. Once Switch and then Halver showed up there was just so much I wanted to do with them that everything else just started getting pushed back.

My own woeful shortcomings aside, the beach party kicks off next week! :)

QotMF Page 9

EDIT: Aaaand I just realized I accidentally released this to all tiers instead of the $5 tier exclusively where it belongs. So if it looks to you like I just dropped page nine of a comic out of nowhere it's because I am, in fact, a big dope.

It's a bit zoomed in so it might be hard to tell, but Miles is banging Chloe in the exact same hot tub he would go on to bang Raina and Sylvia in at a later date. The same hot tub where he asked when he would get to meet Chloe, and Raina told him that would never happen.

The scene where Casey drained every drop out of Mr. Fontaine may have been over a year ago now to you and me, but chronologically only a few days have passed in TRW. Mr. Fontaine has yet to recover. XD

This will be a very short scene but I still wanted Kristina to have a moment in the spotlight here, as this is the first time she's actually had sex in the comic itself. I definitely want o to do more with her in the future.

Vorik and Fox

Femboy teaser time again! This commission for Dantels features their OC's, Vorik and Fox, getting it on. I always like drawing fantasy characters and I think Fox especially has a cool look. Hope you guys like this one and you can see the full version right here. :)

QotMF Page 8

Between Lydia and now Chloe, I'm noticing a pattern where I like the "dolled up" version so much that I want it to be their new default look.

Chloe being half French was something I thought would never make its way into the comic organically. It only took most of a decade but by God, we got there. Not that there's a ton of lore to unpack around it. I think all I had in her original profile about it was that "her dad lives in France." Which was mostly just an excuse to have him not be in the picture. I got her name from that, though. "Chloe DeMay" was the most French sounding name I could possibly conjure at the time.

As for Miles, I really like the idea that he just doesn't belong in this comic. He's a bit like Isaac in that his plight is that he's just a relatively normal guy in a town full of freaks and perverts. XD

This Romantic World Page 416

There are a few characters from the visual novel that have yet to appear in the comic. The mayor and a couple of teachers come to mind. But as the main antagonist of that story, Iris here is arguably the most important character to show up late to this party.

As has always been the case, I intend to recap any important story bits from the visual novel into the comic itself as needed. So her whole deal will be explained in these pages eventually. But if you don't want to wait, I will now recap some very spoilery elements from the visual novel.

If Switch is the queen and Halver is the knight, Iris would be the wicked advisor who has secret ambitions to take the throne for herself. She's smarter than Switch, but lacks the power to confront her directly. She cooked up a scheme to find and kill Switch's dormant body in their home world. Part of that plan involved her possessing Chloe. Isaac ruined her plans and expelled her from Chloe's mind with Switch's help. Additionally, the experience of being inside Chloe's mind had caused Iris to fall obsessively in love with her.

In any case I hope she's piqued your interest now that she's been turned loose in the comic!

A Quick Note on This Week's TRW Page

Hey gang just wanted to give you all a heads up that this week's TRW page will be a light one, composition-wise. Just a full-page character reveal is on the way. Ordinarily I'd have squeezed it in with last week's page, but I ran out of time and it was Monday again before I knew it.

Which leads to why I'm here: the fact is I could really use a light work week right now. I've got a lot of plates spinning at the moment and a one-panel TRW page would work wonders for helping me get caught up on the many things that I'm falling behind on as of this writing.

I hope you guys understand where I'm coming from and I assure that next week's page will have many panels again. I'll do my best to make Thursday's character reveal a punchy one! :)

QotMF Page 7

That top panel is an homage to a similar post-sex shot of Casey and Raina from way back when these "strips" were more like actual strips and didn't tell ongoing stories. XD

In my head all I had planned for this page in the script was that Sylvia offers a cryptic warning to stay away from Miles. But when the rubber hit the road, it hit me that Sylvia is the last person in this comic who would be giving sage advice to anyone. But she is genuinely concerned for Chloe here, and I did my best to reflect that in her dialogue while still keeping her in character.

Wave Three Merch Bundles Are Live!

The title says it all on this one! The Miss CastleWood standees for Lydia, Chloe, Sylvia, and Parker are available for purchase in the merch store. We've also got two new lenticular cards featuring Raina and Sylvia.

We have three mega bundles that include all the new stuff and a bonus heart keychain. In addition to that, all of our previous magnets and stickers are 50% off through the end of August! I hope you like what we've put together and if you're interested you can find the shop right here.

Switch and Abbey in 3D!

It's not often you'll see me post someone else's work around here. But I felt this amazing 3D model by Texelion was worth making an exception for because I think everyone who reads TRW should see this.

Texelion makes and sells 3D models based on NSFW web comics, and a couple months ago he approached me about adding TRW ladies to the line up. Obviously I was thrilled to accept! He put a big list of TRW characters up for a vote to his supporters, and Switch and Abbey came out on top. Which is fascinating to me, that they were the top choices based on visuals alone to those who aren't familiar with the characters or comic. It's too bad he doesn't do commissions because I REALLY want a Casey and Elianna. XD

Anyhow, just wanted to share this amazing work! If you're the type to buy (print ready!) 3D models you can get them and support Texelion at his Cults 3D shop here.

One of the characters that inspired Liz's personality is Osaka from an anime called Azumanga Daioh. Liz standing with slack arms, staring at the sky and continuing to talk after the other person has walked away already is VERY Osaka. (The other two inspirations for her are Hikage from Senran Kagura and Scarface from Half Baked if you're interested.) Also new character incoming! Well, new to the comic, anyway. :D

Kal and Amber's Endurance Training

This commission for Raj Tallahand is a continuation of the collab I did for him and Kal last year. This follows Amber's ongoing efforts to wear out Kal by having a lot of sex in public. I always like drawing these two and I hope you like how this turned out! :)

Game Dev 6/30/25

As you can no doubt guess from one and a half backgrounds being what I've got to show here, it was a slow month on the game dev side of things. Kal is still coding Miss Castlewood but was delayed by a family vacation that put him a bit behind schedule. As for me, it's well documented that this month was when I invited a small furry thing that bites me into my home because I simply didn't know better at the time. I kid but the little guy is definitely eating into my work flow while he gets adjusted. How long is it before cats get old enough to be lazy and just lie around all day? Wait. Don't tell me, I don't want to know.

I have reached a turning point of sorts here. When i finish this living room, I'm done doing backgrounds myself for TCW. This living room is taking forever and I don't think it's just because I'm busier than usual. I simply don't have the passion for environmental design. If I have to paint something that doesn't have eyes and/or boobs, I'm bored. And I think that lack of enthusiasm is what's really hindering me on this. I've long been hesitant to make a "now hiring" post on Twitter, simply because I don't like the idea of having to turn a bunch of applicants away. But it may be time to finally bite that bullet if this project is to continue. As always, I'll keep you guys posted!

QotMF Page 6

One big difference I imagined between Raina and Sylvia is that while Raina treats her younger partners with respect, Sylvia would definitely have more of a "you're my plaything" sort of attitude. XD

This Romantic World Page 414

This is one of those pages that I worry could be read the wrong way. That Liz is dumb or that Halver thinks she is, or that he thinks no one would believe her anyway. Not my intent at all there. I always thought Liz and Halver would be kindred spirits in the way that they are two of the rare characters in this comic that are 100% sincere. Honest about themselves, if that makes any sense. To me that's why Liz believes him so easily: she can tell that they're alike.

Meanwhile I'm sure no one is surprised to find that Chloe is a high maintenance girlfriend. XD Believe it or not me and Kal cooked up that idea of Millie being sprayed like a cat long before I became a cat owner this month. I am not above more cat jokes in the future though.

PS had it brought to my attention that this month is the ten-year anniversary of the Patreon page! My thanks to everyone for being here and here's hoping for another ten! :)

QotMF Page 5

It occurs to me that for a story that's supposed to be about Chloe, three out of five pages so far have featured Casey and Raina going at it. That's about to change though! :D

This Romantic World Page 413

I've mentioned in the past how eager I am to get the cast out of high school, for a variety of reasons. But the one that comes to mind in the moment is that these group shots are murder on me. XD

Looks like Liz remembers Halver! :D

QotMF Page Four

I think we all knew how this was going to go. XD

Mio and Layla

This commission for Ektus is canonical and takes place at Valette Manor! The story goes that shortly after an anime convention came to town, Elianna's friend and fellow cosplayer, Layla (seen here dressed as Shimada Death from a Manga called Dai Dark) was invited to stay the night at the manor.

As is custom to all guests of the household, a maid was sent to Layla's room to have sex with her after Elianna went to sleep. It was Mio that was serviced in the end, however. As Layla insisted on giving her a full body massage before busting out the strap on! Also Chloe was able to infiltrate the grounds on this particular night. Sometimes she's caught. Sometimes she isn't. XD

Hope you guys like this one, I thought it was a fun idea!

This Romantic World Page 412

I put a lot of thought into exactly what Halver would say in this space here. There's a lot to unpack here, but I didn't want to spend three pages of them just discussing the intricacies of what their relationship will be like from here on out. They'll still get to those details eventually, I just didn't want to just unload them all at once. So I figured I'd just keep things simple for now: Halver has realized he wants to be with Lydia, and he's the type to state his intentions plainly.

Hope you guys liked this scene. I'm really jazzed to get to what happens next! :D

QotMF Page 3

Left to her own devices, I imagine Chloe would be a pretty unreliable narrator for a story like this. Luckily it happens to be Millie she's talking to, and she's quite the bullshit detector. XD

This Romantic World Page 411

Thanks for waiting, everyone! The extra day to help my new little buddy get settled was much appreciated.

Ordinarily, this scene would have ended on the previous page. Or the sex would have ended, I should say. I tend to keep sex scenes snappy because I'm often looking forward to getting to the talking bits that follow the action. But in this encounter I went out of my way to start Lydia off as a pretty princess specifically so she could end up end up a wrecked and drooling mess by the end here. And you really need an extra page or two to convey that they've been going at it that hard, you know? Hope you guys like how it turned out!

Storm, A TRW Delay, and a Cat

I know what you're about to say. "The comic is running behind on the Switch 2 launch day? Imagine that." Well joke's on you, smarty-pants. I'm not even all that into Mario Kart. TRW is running a day behind because my new cat requires more attention than I expected while he gets used to his new home.

I didn't wake up today planning to bring home a kitten. It just sort of worked out that way. I figured he'd simply get settled and lie down somewhere but nope, he's stuck to me like glue and meowing like crazy the minute I put him down. I guess he has had a hell of a day, being snatched from the only life he's ever known. Today it dawned on me that if you get a puppy or a kitten, you're effectively starting your relationship off with a kidnapping.

Anyway, Storm! Yesterday I saw Twitter buzzing over the trailer for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls. (Which looks fucking rad. Loving these Eastern designs on Marvel characters lately.) Storm has always been a favorite of mine and I especially like when they give her big hair. So last night I found myself ahead of schedule on work (HILARIOUS in hindsight) and thought I'd try and work up something quick and timely in attempt to exploit the algorithm and grow my social media presence.

Turns out "quick" for me is five hours but I like how she turned out considering the rush job. Whether or not this lands with the algorithm gods remains to be seen. I'll put the clean version out there tomorrow and see how it goes. The messy one is just for you guys here.

That's all for now. Thank you for your patience, TRW will post tomorrow night!

QotMF Page 2

EDIT: Got a comment that made me want to clarify that this isn't Casey's actual bedroom that Chloe hid a camera in. It's mentioned in the visual novel that this is more like Casey's "sex room."

I pulled a background of Casey's bedroom from the VN assets for that top panel. It was surprising just how much my color choices have changed in just a few short years. The color scheme of Casey's whole house from back then seems overbearingly yellow to my eyes now. Had to tone it down a little here. XD

Jane's "Humiliation"

This commission for The First Sword is canonical and takes place during one of Jane's parties! The scheme this time revolved around a game of cards where the loser had to get strapped to a chair and let Casey and Bria do whatever they wanted to them in front of everyone. Jane had originally rigged it so Parker would lose and end up in the chair. But as the game progressed she started to realize that the "punishment" she had lined up was looking more like a prize by the minute. She changed gears to expertly fake her own loss in a way that didn't arouse suspicion. XD

Hope you like how this turned out! I had fun working on it.

Game Dev 5/31/25

This month I did not get a lot of game work done if I'm being honest. My commission blitz has eaten into that time significantly as of late. All I've been able to make progress on is script work, which isn't the flashiest thing to share around here. Though if you guys would be interested in early peaks at the script let me know and maybe I'll cut something out for next month.

Luckily in the meantime I've got some older assets to catch you up on! :)

• The first one is Promise Woman's sex scene, and I think this is the best looking one so far. Needed Blue Pigment's help for this one too, naturally. Getting bouncing breasts to loop seamlessly is something I struggle with on my own. There's a bit of stutter in this one still that needs more work.

• I'm really proud of how Roman's street turned out. Had a friend put this together for me in Daz and spent weeks painting over top of it. We've got Roman's place, Tyler's coffee shop, and Jonah's bar. Those cars are on their own layer and in the final product Kal thinks he can get them to actually drive by, which I think will be really cool.

• Was going for seedy with Jonah's bar. It's a bit of a ret con in that I believe it was implied he was a college student during Switch when he was introduced, bit young to be a bartender but I think I can get away with it. Besides, the bigger ret con is that he's more of a pompous bro than an outright asshole in TCW. XD

• Promise Woman, working for charity!

• Cops and superheroes never get along, and I'm continuing that tradition with Officer Monica here. My idea for her is that she never speaks. She communicates entirely in look, and I think it would be funny if no one else ever has any problem understanding her perfectly.

• Roman will be busting out the phone a lot. His design is almost completely symmetrical because I wanted to make it easy to flip his direction. All I have to do is change the buttons on his coat and boom, he works facing left as well.

  That's all for this month! Hoping to have some new visuals by the end of June. I need to make a fancy apartment interior for the new opening. New backgrounds aren't super exciting but that's part of the game dev journey. XD Hope you guys like what we have so far!

This Romantic World Page 410

Originally in that bottom panel, Halver was gritting his teeth more. I wanted to express that he was really feeling this too. Often I end up showing women screaming their heads off while the men are stoic as statues during orgasms, which I'd like to change moving forward if I can. But with those shark teeth of his I found it really changed the vibe of the whole panel. I felt like it unintentionally implied a level of aggression on his part that wasn't fitting at all for a kind-hearted type like Halver.

Hope you guys like the page, been awhile since I've done a good old fashioned x-ray panel! XD

Kayden and Zane

Get the clean version here and the messy version here.

If you're new, it's customary for me to use teaser thumbnails whenever I'm presenting a kink that I'm not normally known for around here. And this commission for infernalperson certainly fits that bill as the first ever guy/guy job I've ever been hired for! :O

As alluded to in the visual novel, Zane firmly believes that Kayden is feminine enough that banging him doesn't make you "gay." It's a nice coincidence that I was hired to do this one so soon after the commission featuring Kayden and Tenma, as I feel like just the difference in his expression conveys really well how contrasting Kayden's sexual attitude is with women vs. how it is with men. This one takes place at a public gym's locker room, as Kayden wouldn't betray Elianna's trust by hooking up at school. Hope you guys like it!
