some sketches of more ocs

the first king of Adria, Gabriel Liallia (right), and his knight and closest confidant, Arthur Grey (left)

within canon they're both historical figures and two very important pieces in Adria's history as a nation. Arthur is seen as a great hero who fought alongside Gabriel against the beasts and powers that ruled the skies before the establishment of the kingdom. They united the various tribes and villages to found the kingdom under Gabriel's goddess's blessing which was earned after the duo slayed the last remaining dragon that terrorized the world.

Both are heavily mythologized, and Arthur especially is propped up as an example of the heroics and adventurous spirit that is baked into Adria's national identity.

lots more to think about for all these characters, but I'll be showing more stuff when i can :)

Vox and Valentino watching 'Cheapskates'

Val getting an idea from it, thinking of a funny for their next anniversary

Next anniversary

Val comes to Vox's office and declares proudly thrusting forth a half inflated balloon that says 'Anniversary Sale' and a baggett

"Happy anniversary my love, here, have a floppy balloon and a stick of bread!"

Later that night

Velvet has to show Vox the video Val got this idea from after seeing the Moth Demon sitting outside like a wounded puppy

I spent too long writing fetish stories

More about venting than it is about confessing.

---

Over the past 6+ years, I spent more time writing niche fetish stories instead of what I actually wanted to do. Mostly because I wanted to see those stories in the world, but partly because everyone points out that writing fetish material is an easy way to get paid.

Over six years, I wrote approximately SEVEN BOOKS worth of adult material. And I didn't even see a fucking DIME. Even when I was pushing a Patreon, no one gave a damn about supporting me. When I was putting installments out week after week after week, giving complex worlds and backstories and more.

Some, I'm holding on to and want to turn into full-on mainstream material.

VERITY - A tall, muscular woman who acts as a Problem Solver for whoever crosses her door. A former Black Ops agent who was called "The Angel Of Death" by her unit, Verity now seeks to live a life just helping people. But when you're a self-touted "Problem Solver", you find yourself caught up in all sorts of battles to protect the lives of ordinary people...

BLOCKBUSTER - Set in a far flung future, a professional Fighter named Marco Mercado is hired to train the daughter of a celebrity. This girl, Brandy Bustamante, is not any ordinary woman. She's the daughter of Braden "Blockbuster" Bustamante, a megastar who is part of a specially made line of 10 ft. tall powerhouse humans called "Geners" (Genetically Enhanced Workers) that were made to work on the most hostile of worlds for the Seven Corporations Of Man before being repurposed for things like Sports Competitions.

But their meeting is more than just circumstantial, kickstarting the unraveling of a millennia old conspiracy involving Corporate greed and the truth about human existence in an Epic Space Opera love story.

I'M WITH THE GODDESSES - Dragged out for another night of local shows, college student Brandon isn't really expecting much. But when he sees the opening act for the All Female fronted show, a group of misfit ladies named The Goddesses, it's closer to a religious experience for him.

Imagine Brandon's surprise when that turns out to be literal, as the lead singer and front woman for the band, a mohawk brandishing spitfire named Layla Scalzi who Brandon gets a very strong sense of deja vu from, tells him he's meant to be their Acolyte. Now pulled into a cosmic Battle Of The Bands called The Ascension Game, he and the odd mix of Punk Rock Pantheon members compete against gods and goddesses from all other genres in a bid for the right to ascend to the position of official gods over all reality.

THE SWORD OF MONSTERS - A professional monster hunter named Ezel heads to a small village where it's rumored that bizarre creatures are slaughtering locals and travelers alike. Once there, he finds that the rumors are not only true, but far more bizarre and deadlier than he imagined. But nothing as bizarre as a white haired waif in a blue outfit named Mazia, carrying a sword bigger than herself, who joins him in his investigation...

---

Outside of these four stories (Blockbuster will become a straight up Sci Fi novel, the others will hopefully become comics), I'm abandoning literally every other story. Stories which include Humanity's struggle for survival against extradimensional aliens who are basically Nazi Terfs, a story about a loving family caught in a very bizarre situation involving gene therapy treatments, one involving a college student and the very strange goddess that is haunting her, an erotic ecological body horror story about a corporation trying to remove a thorn in their side by using his wife and more.

Take it from me, whoever tries to convince you that creating pornographic content is a sure way to earn money is fucking lying to you. People want free shit, and they don't really care when it starts or stops coming in.

clawing at the walls until I can introduce all my characters in my comic

Good lucking finding anything of quality with that. Though to be fair this sort of garbage predates AI. I was once offered a freelance writing gig. I was expected to spend no less than 4 hours on each writing project, physically attend interviews (these were business profiles), the maximum length was 100 words. The pay worked out to approximately 5 cents a word. I very nearly used the phrase "f--- off". Needless to say i refused the gig and the venture folded soon after.

Then a few years back I was offered a freelance gig that paid marginally better but involved me copy editing a 200 or 300 page document. In 3 days. A similar response came from me, though I think some laughter was involved.

in honor of 2 days late of valentines day here is my favorite patreon qna comic i ever made

[tiberius-kirks]

was watching a video and suddenly felt very out of touch with what an impulse purchase costs? so

[kuipiedekat]

Say what?

[mckitterick]

looks like rebuilding will be just as costly as if they'd done it right in the first place. saved a lot of time and money there, didn't he

I found the thing to dunk on Elon for regarding the rocket launch.

A lot of experts in the rocket community were questioning Elon's decision not to create a flame diverter.

For those unaware, huge rockets like this usually have giant trenches underneath to channel the flames, exhaust, and debris safely.

NASA's Kennedy Space Center has a flame trench that is 571 feet long, 58 feet wide, and 42 feet high and is built with concrete and refractory brick and bisects the pad at ground level.

But giant trenches are costly and can make working on the rocket on the launch pad inconvenient. So Elon wanted to try forgoing the flame diverter even though he was launching the largest rocket ever built with the most exhaust ever output.

And now he covered an entire town with a layer of rocket dust.

Exploding the rocket was normal and expected.

Not giving a shit about the town around the launch site... fucking infuriating.

I'm not doing 'Secret Santa' next year.

Tonight was our work Christmas party and gift exchange. The gifts were meant to be $30-$50.

Now I didn't expect much but I was excited nonetheless to see what I got. I'd asked for candles, anything cats or purple or some Sally hansen nail polish.

Technically speaking I got what I asked for.

I got 4 candles. And I recognized the labeling. They're from Kmart (so not even good quality ones) so I know they are cheap. I looked them up tonight. They come to a total of $12.50.

I'm beyond pissed. I participated in Secret Santa at my old store for 2 years and got the crappiest gifts also. It's just so unfair. I put a lot of effort into giving gifts to people and feel like I never get it in return. I spent $48 on my Secret Santa.

I'm sick of it. So fuck it. I'm not doing it next year. I'm keeping my money for myself.

It seems Rainbow made 2 different animation tests of the same scene with different lightning. On the left is what they uploaded on the Winx Club international channel, on the right is what was shown at Napoli Comicon. I think the one on the right is the final render! There's much more environmental detail and the lightning and animation is much better. There's no way the lesser version is gonna be the final one.
