A zipped archive of Jay Naylor's webcomic "Better Days," made available after the discontinuation of his personal website.
BD-archive.zip (d)The first comic started in 2020 by Jay Naylor, a follow-up to "Offline." "This time Marley has his internet back, but Sissy isn't ready to end the bit of fun they were having. She jumps through sexual hoops trying to compete with and lure him away from his unrepentant pornography addiction. The overall theme [is] sexually comedic and fun, just like its predecessor."

Hello, steering committee tier! I want to do a few warmup sketches and I need some ideas. So, I put together a little list of irregular and plausible pairings between characters of mine. If you'd like to see any of these, feel free to vote for them. Vote for more than one thing if you like. Whatever you like to see.
Will it lead to anything more? I'm not sure. But at least one or two colored sketches will come from it, possibly more. If you need to know who any of these names are, please ask, thanks!
Please vote, and thank you!
EDIT: Ignore that I put the Penny and Penelope option twice...
Something I'm doing in my spare time for my somewhat neglected safe-for-work Patreon account. I'm trying to do more projects over there. You can find it at www.patreon.com/jrnarts if you're interested in that stuff over there as well.
It's been a while, hasn't it? Since.. I think August? Sorry for the delay, but here we go, now.
Part 2 is almost finished. When it is, I'll post the entire archive for any latecomers who want something easily downloadable. But right now you can backtrack using the "comic" keywords and try to grab as much as you can.
Force Of Nature continues. Did I mention this comic was going to be long? It's still going. But I'm sure I'll have it done by the end of the year. I like how it's coming, and I'm not abridging anything in it, so it's going to go well into the 30s, page count wise.
Back issue list is up to date into 2019. You can find links to those .zips here:

Something I drew up and decided to color it because I liked it. I still want to eventually do a story where Penny gets tired of Lynne's crap and just ruins her.
I sketched this out last night real fast. The original drawing was oriented vertically, so in tilting it, I created faded areas around the edges. Nonetheless, was a decent warmup.
This is just a touch-base kind of post to let you all know how my schedule is going. I'm keeping the adult comic rewards the top priority project right now, so my other kinds of posts have dropped off. Earlier this month, we had some pet illnesses and later coming up, there are a few days when I'll only be able to get minimal work done, if any.
I still plan on having six new pages for "Force of Nature" for the $6+ tiers on the 5th of next month. Once my schedule kind of settles, I'll start back up on the remaining "Ask" questions I have from the last batch.
Thank you all!
Got the time to wrap this up today. Felt good to just work on a pic.
This will be cloud practice.
I'm not sure how some people draw a straight line from what they want to happen to some other kind of result, but here you go.
It's also worth noting that Mary Ann's name isn't "Huckleberry". I was just using that name as a parody title. But now almost everyone calls her that. Oh well.
"Force of Nature" is going to be a pretty long comic. It could end up being over thirty pages, but that's fine. I'm not abridging any of the ideas I've had surrounding it, so I'm just letting it play out. Please enjoy!
Also, the back issue list now includes all the comics for 2019, since "Rekindled" will be a year old tomorrow. You'll find one master .zip for 2019 in the link to the last entry, now. Here are the links to all adult comic back issues:

Thank you for your support!
Took the liberty to do some modernizing redesign for Beth's rarely mentioned sister. I think her name is Desdemona if I remember.
Carlos tried to sneakily slip in two questions at once. But you gotta get up pretty early to get one by me.
I suppose I could have had either one of them answer this, but I really just wanted to draw Elizabeth.
I asked the steering committee ($12) tier to ask my characters anything they like, once more. Hadn't done these since 2017. It's a good way to get warmup ideas. I'm only taking them in batches of 21, right now, and will ask for more when done.
Please don't take anything personally! I'm just being silly.
Ask is back to get the sketch juices flowing once more. It's open to the $12 tier and you can ask what you like of adult characters, for illustrated answers. Only doing 21 questions this time, first come first serve, so I can complete them and then maybe do another batch or so, time permitting.
Also, one other pre-requisite, try not to ask any questions that would ask me to spoil ongoing stories, like Brooke Goes To College, or Force of Nature.
Thank you!
Force of Nature continues on, and I find myself hoping I was able to depict things properly. I'm trying to convey Beth being surprised that she got something she wanted, without an overbearing narrative, but I'm probably going to have to end up adding something like that down the road in future pages anyway. Heavy handed narratives is something I've tried to get away from with recent work, and therefor trying to leave more up to showing and not telling. Let me know if it works.
The back issue list remains the same, and will change for next month's updates! Thank you all for your support!

I have no idea how Veronika and Hilde would ever canonically meet, but I wanted to draw this so here it is.
Got this done today. I wasn't able to get the shots I wanted for this particular sequence, plus include a sexy body-shot as is tradition for this webcomic. But nonetheless, here it is.
I got this done because it looks like hurricane Isaias isn't going to be as big a threat to my local area as originally thought. Otherwise, who knows when I could have finished it.
Hello, all patrons.
This is being written to remind that I have a Patreon alternative at Subscribestar, in the event that something happens with Patreon. Generally speaking, Patreon's been in an unstable state for a bit, and it just got more unstable.
First, my Subscribestar page is here: www.subscribestar.adult/jaynaylor
If anything happens to Patreon, you can find me there. I've been mirroring what gets posted here, now, for a long time, over there.
Short version: Patreon is being held responsible for funding the legal expenses of hundreds of arbitration cases, individually, due to California law and their own terms of service preventing class action suits, back when they were axing accounts for political speech they didn't like. Agree or disagree, it's not the point. The point is, they're in a financial corner that could bankrupt them and put the site's future at risk, and it's the bed they made for themselves.
This is being posted in case Patreon goes under, or changes ownership to those less friendly to what I do. I'm sure alternative sites will pop up left and right, and in fact, some already exist. But Patreon has a good interface and services by comparison.
Nonetheless, if anything happens to Patreon and you want to keep supporting me and seeing new stuff, you can find this account mirrored on Subscribestar:
www.subscribestar.adult/jaynaylor
Thank you all for your time and support! Hopefully nothing happens and this isn't a big deal, but this is being posted as a just-in-case.

I asked the steering committee to pick an older character that isn't often drawn anymore, and Veronika the Russian Husky won handily. She was an old design and I really wanted to her modernize her, so it's fortunate. Here are the initial sketches I did up on a lazy Sunday.
Hello, Steering Committee. This month, I've assembled five characters that I think could use a little more material surrounding them. I picked them because they're all fairly interesting to me in one way or another, but they've not really been depicted very much. Some have just appeared once here and there, others have had one comic about them and then nothing else. Usually by drawing a character in warmups, or regular images, I end up coming up with more ideas for them and nailing down more specifics about their personalities.
So, you must let me know which of these rarely seen characters you are the most interested in seeing more of in upcoming images. From left to right:
Hilde the Doberman - Tall, top heavy, with slim, fit hips and long legs, Hilde the Doberman appeared in a few stand alone images with Aron, as well as the comic about the various women he sees called "Aron". Her personality is the most obscure to me right now, because she's only been drawn having sex or standing around. I just know she exercises a lot.
Penny the Mouse - Penny's the transgender woman who I only know is a jogging partner with Lynne sometimes. Lynne tends to overshadow her with aggression, so I don't quite know what she's like beyond that. Part of me is suspecting a barely repressed kind of horny aggression of her own, but still, she just looks small and unthreatening.
Brenda the Dog - Brenda is the chubby-butted dog woman who appeared in "Aron" as the one who prefers anal sex. I don't have much down about the kind of person she is beyond that, but any pictures will probably be butt centric.
Veronika the Husky - Veronika appeared in one comic as a honey pot that backfired and was used by Fisk. She's a strong female character, and in the past I've toyed with the idea that she prefers to be in lesbian relationships, but she maintains a strong physical attraction towards powerful men. She's a Russian operative. Her design is old, and she may be due for a few modernizing re-design tweaks.
Dixie the Spaniel - Dixie's from the Lumpkinville universe, and she appeared in one comic where she engaged in submissive pet-play with Mary Ann's brother, and then switching to a dominant role when calling over an anthro German Shepard lover. She's a bit of an extreme context switch. She's also an old design and I haven't done much with her, because she does look a bit like Trixie (the similar spellings don't help either), so she may be due for a redesign as well.
Vote for as many as you're interested in, and thank you! Poll ends Saturday at 8pm Eastern US time.
Sorry there's not much text in this page, but it's an important transition. Still barreling full speed toward the end of part 2.
Did some sketching of this on the weekend and put some color on it once I was able to unfuck my tablet drivers.
I may have made Mary too dark but ehhhhhhhhhh.....
Jumped the gun on my warning, but after several hours of messing, I learned I had to... somehow delete the driver from the permissions settings (because it wouldn't let me uncheck it) then reinstall it to the permissions list, then uncheck its permissions, then log out, then log in, then recheck the permissions.
Then it worked. Why didn't I think of that sooner the fix was so obvious...
Because computer engineers are twisted souls.
New Audrey-Mary colored sketch tomorrow.
With all the new updates to everything, my Wacom drivers became fucked today. They were acting strange already but today they're acting like they don't have security permissions, when they do. They've been wiped clean and reinstalled as the latest drivers, and given all appropriate permissions indicated by the error window, but the error window persists every time the pen tries to indicate a "click" on screen, in any program, or tries to make a brush stroke in photoshop.
I'll search out advanced help over the next few days and keep trying things, but for now, I'm going to drink.
I had a good Audrey and Mary sketch lined up for finishing, too.
Force Of Nature proceeds and I like how it's coming out. Last month was pretty productive, and I'm glad I was able to get out as many Brooke Goes To College pages as I did, as well. We had a record month in June, so thank you all, especially new accounts that have signed on. These comics wouldn't be possible without you.
Here are links to the back issues, which haven't changed yet. Please enjoy them and keep your collections up to date. :3

As promised for some time, the .zip archives of the old webcomics. They became unavailable since the old website no longer works. But if you want them you can unpack these zips of older embarrassing material that helped make my name.
I want these lates pages to come out closer together since they take place right after each other in the same conversation.
Hello. Here is the latest page of Brooke Goes To College.
I've attached two .zip files to this entry which have all of part 1, and all of part 2 so far in progress, for anyone new to the comic tier who wants to catch up.
For those curious, this started out as a quick and silly webcomic I was doing of Brooke in my spare time, which has become a slightly more serious kind of story regarding her life. I also try to put a sexy butt themed piece, a nude, or sex on every page.
Enjoy. :3
Attached is the archive for all of 2018, and the two comics that are a year old from 2019, available for download to the comic tier. Enjoy!
I can only attach .zips up to 200mb in size to an entry. So, for now, I'm going to make a series of master posts for those looking for back issues, with the back issues divided into .zip files of less than 200mb a piece.
2017 is when file sizes started getting big for my comics, so those will contain fewer pages, but larger sizes overall.
I'll keep these entries as kind of a master list I can link back to so I don't have to keep uploading these. I hope this will suffice for now! Thank you, and keep your collections up to date!
This is the first four pages of "Force of Nature", featuring Trixie, Beth, and Ty. The initial pages set up a lot of easy speculation, but please don't ask me what's going to happen because I'm not going to summarize the whole thing before it's posted.
Thanks for your support once again! You are the best fans.
As I said in the previous post, I'll be looking into setting up a different way to deliver the back issue list later on. So if you're interested in that, please stay tuned.
"Online" is finished and here it is in complete form. It doesn't really have a zany ending, other than to sort of "reset" Marley and Sissy as the characters they were first known as. Part 2 of the comic rewards will be posted next, and feature the first four pages of "Force of Nature".
A lot has gone on and I hope everyone is safe. Work has kept up here, as I live in a very stable and secure area. Otherwise, my web hosting decided it didn't want me to store .zip files on my site for comic back issues to be easily downloaded from. So, I'm going to find a way to host them here in the meantime, later on today. Probably as file attachments... I kind of want to see if I can forgo having to use any kind of file hosting all together, but who knows. Otherwise, I'll look into it.
Thank you all for your support! None of this would be possible without you.
General announcement:
My web hosting won’t allow me to use the directories for general storage of materials anymore. It means the jaynaylor.com site won’t be functional for much longer and will probably forward here. This won’t mean much to you other than the comic back issue list .zips won’t be downloadable at their current addresses.
I can’t say exactly when this will go down, but I will look into a solution to still allow me to post the .zips as attachments here, for those who are in the comic tiers and wish to catch up.
I’ll let you know as developments progress. Thank you for your support!
This started out as the second "Audrey Sketches" and it ended up being more of a finished pic.

I kind of just worked on this in my spare time during the week, while mostly doing adult comic work for here. Some day I'll have all the time I want. But not today.
Drew these up on the side for a couple days and then threw on some shades and bit of color.
I did this for the SFW Patreon, as I commit to a bit of world building in my spare time. The finished work is colored over there, and has an abbreviated text description in the empty space.

Twenty pages in and still going. I like how the pages are looking. I'm going to be finishing this comic this month. I think it may have about three or so more pages to go.
For those in the steering committee, I'll have you voting on some things coming up, but I've already determined the next comic I'm starting work on will be involving Beth, Trixie, and Ty. Sometimes I make the call.
The back issue list still stays the same, but next month, it will be adding "Switches" to the list, since it'll be a year old. Thank you for your support!

Something I found the time to work on in between getting the comic update ready for the 5th. I'll be coloring this in time.
This was mainly drawn free hand, so I'm sure there are perspective and balance issues. I can't take credit for this perspective idea. I saw a manga artist do a "answering the door" perspective on a character of theirs, once, and decided to try my hand at it.
I polled the Steering Committee for some themes I should work with for pictures this month, and "bottomless" came out on top. Trying to draw puffy clothes like hoodies and coats as they naturally lay, without giving in to the instinct to have them conform more to the body than they really do.
Gonna be coloring this one up for the SFW Patreon later on. Some day it'd be nice to focus on this as a main project and put it out like a serious manga or something. But time permitting.
The next six pages of "Online" are done and available right here. This comic is coming along, and I'm realizing I could probably make this one a lot longer than it needs to be. So maybe I'll just keep going? Unsure. I was thinking of also having most of it done before May. We'll see how things play out. But I'm liking how most of the pages are looking.
The back issue list is the same as it was last month. Thank you for your support!

I'm going to soon start a set of pictures and I need you, the Steering Committee, to help me choose the themes. These are a little more eccentric in their focus, perhaps, but that's the idea. It's not specifically about a single character or fetish, but other traits that sometimes bubble up as ideas for nice pictures. Things I've kind of not done as much of lately, perhaps, but want to possibly use to generate warmups.
I think the choices are pretty self explanatory but if you have any questions, let me know. Vote for as many choices as you'd like to see, and we'll see where the chips land. If multiple selections end up closely popular to one another, I may combine them or include them over the course of this month, as well.
Thank you! And have fun.
Both dry and wet, for those with a preference. Sketched this up last night and spent some after work time coloring it up.
Some face hard times with everything they want. The rest, with whatever they have.
Outfit taken from that one picture on the internet.
This turned into an afternoon project after initially just being a warmup.
"Let me know if you need anything from the store."
I may color this up later for the SFW Patreon, time permitting.
I warmup picture for a lazy working Sunday. I wanted to practice Penelope a little bit.
This post is marked Patrons-Only because it has links.
First of all, the adult-only Patreon account isn't going anywhere, at least for now, unless it's forced to. But it's smart to have contingency plans in case something happens with this account specifically, or Patreon in general.
First it's worth noting I have a safe-for-work Patreon account here:
https://www.patreon.com/jrnarts
It was originally a place where I'd post Original Life +5 comics, but as I've run out of ideas and time for those, I've been starting to work up just ordinary SFW images to put there. It only makes the tiniest fraction of what this account does, right now.
Secondly, I've been maintaining an adult-only Subscribestar account for a long time. Yes, this entire time it's been mirroring my Patreon account in every way except for the Steering Committee stuff. I suppose if adult-only Patreon goes down, I'll add a steering committee tier there. The link is here:
https://subscribestar.adult/jaynaylor
It doesn't have as many features as Patreon right now. There's no polling feature that I know of, and I can't post multiple images in a post for comics, as far as I can tell.
Keep these in mind as a contingency. Or if you want to bail on Patreon now, and would rather keep up on Subscribestar, feel free. Sorry we have to talk about this, but the world is what it is!
Thank you all for the support. You're the best.
Word is flying around from some creators about a new and entirely subjective policy being enforced, primarily targeting Anime style artists for giving their characters neotanous features, like big eyes and big heads. Some artists have already had their accounts forced to remove any depiction of a character that could be interpreted as possibly under 18, based on looks alone. Any character with a thin build, or large eyes could conceivably be targeted by this subjective policy, regardless of how many stories you've written about them being adults.
I've not seen the specific art that Patreon came down on when this was brought up. Was it exceptionally chibi? I don't know. But it does mean they could interpret a style as against their ever morphing policies.
In the past several years I've been pulling my style toward more ordinary proportions. I used to draw heads much larger than they would normally be on people, as a way of style, in my older work. I try not to anymore. But it does mean some characters who are specifically short and thin, like Beth or Penelope, could be subject to scrutiny, despite being written as adults who lead adult lives in stories. The subjective nature of this is what is the most aggravating. Sissy's in her forties and has a curvy body, but if I draw her eyes too big, according to the Orwellian-esque named Trust & Safety Committee... the pic has to go?
Things like this make Patreon an unstable place to do any kind of creative adult work. When wondering why this would now be a thing when it was fine for all the years Patreon has been around, it makes me wonder if they're not cleaning the site of anything subjectively "iffy" as a prelude to selling the company. This possibility instills further instability, which can't be mollified by any of the CEO's tear-filled assurances about supporting creators.
Here is the article I was linked to that outlined what happened with the anime style creators whose work was brought up:
So, what to do? I'm not leaving my adult-only Patreon account unless I have no choice, so don't worry, for now. But be aware this is happening. I will be posting another announcement after this with links to my Subscribestar page and my SFW Patreon account, and basically going over any contingency plans if this becomes an issue here.
Thank you all!
I decided to turn the last Beth warmup into something larger. I'm going to work to have it finished by the end of the weekend.
"Online" is up to eight pages. I wanted to have one more page done, but February fucked me by being the year's shortest month. In any event, things are going to get more fetishy and strange as the comic progresses, so if it seems relatively tame now, just wait.
The back issue list is the same as it was last month. Thank you for your support, and enjoy!

I put aside some time to do a few pencils this morning, despite being busy. I'll be coloring this up as I have the time.
I feel bad whenever I don't post something and keep you up to date, so here it goes. My time has been pretty much keeping the main adult comic project up to schedule. It's been exacerbated by this month piling on more chores that don't have to do with work, but such is the way!
I hate that February is so short. It sucks because I have so many more ideas for other things I want to draw. I suppose March will feature me belting more out, like a dam burst.
That's all I have to say for now. Thank you all!
Quick warmup of Penelope. I think I made her colors too dark. But ah well. Most of my time has been spent getting the comic production back on schedule for this short month.
Francis is incapable of being hurt. He finds everything too arousing.
Hello, everyone. I wasn't able to work for about a week while I was handling Valentine's Day and entertaining my visiting girlfriend. I have a Brooke update lined up for tomorrow, and then regular production of all kinds of juicy new things.
Thank you for your patience and support!
I drew this for the SFW Patreon, since it's been hard to come up with where I want new Original Life pages to go, so it's becoming a place where I will just publish my finished non-adult pieces in general, too. If you're curious, the SFW Patreon is at www.patreon.com/jrnarts
There are some things about the rifle that are off, but it's not easy keeping it all in proportion and perspective without just doing a straight on profile image of it. Ah well. I know everyone cerakote's everything today, but I'm kind of a sucker for the weather-worn used look of a regular painted rifle.
Please enjoy.
The first three pages of "Online" are done, and it's on the precipice of falling off into abject perversion, so brace yourselves.
Major updates to the back issue list this month! All of 2018s comics are compiled into a single zip on the list. Normal Perverts is now a year old, so it's included in the back issue list. Please enjoy!

I'm doing two updates this month, after figuring out how I wanted to do it on update dates with split comics, where I finished one and started another in the same month. So, this entry will be all of "Enemy" completed, and afterwards, I'll do the update with the first pages of "Online" and this update will include the back issue list you're used to.
Turned out to be 25 pages. .zip file included for convenient downloading:
Enjoy!
Serena was the runner up for the steering committee poll on who to warm up with. Since the voting was so close, I decided to do a few sketches of her and color them up as well.
I worked a little late last night drawing this kind of as an apology to Ty for drawing him like such shit in my last drawing. I also took the time to tweak his design again.
I almost rarely draw masculine men with the same attempt to make them looks as posed and thought out about coming off casually sexy, as I do my female characters. It's kind of a weak spot in my work, so this was a good bit of practice putting in the time for it.
Beth's second warmup. Working to draw more "kinetic" sex. Ty's face here is complete trash. I think I drew his body too long and his face is more puffy than it should be. I should sharpen and chisel it up a bit, but this was a quick sketch I colored. I should probably give him a character sheet at some time.
I started on "Online over the weekend and I thought I'd also preview the first page for everyone. Coming up on the 5th of February, for the $6+ comic tiers, I'll be posting two comic update entries, one for the entire completed "Enemies" comic and the other for the pages I've so far completed for "Online". Really enjoying drawing Sissy again. I decided to use a brighter color scheme for this one, to make it pop a little more. I realize sometimes my colors can be on the pastel side of things, and I think it's my overall fear of color in general and my monochromatic eye.
Anyway, I also noticed that on the website view of Patreon, they no longer show full image previews. They just crop out the top and bottom to show the very center of the image. I'm not sure why they do this, but you have to now click on it to see the full thing. Maybe they'll change it back if enough artists fuss at them. Oh well.
Thank you for listening and enjoy this page.
When I asked the steering committee to supply warmup character choices, Beth won out in the poll. It's almost unfair, and I probably shouldn't include her in those things, since she's so liked. But anyway...
Other runners up were Serena, the blue haired lioness, and surprisingly in third place was Penelope. Since the voting for these three was so close, I'm probably going to also do a few images of them as well, to help warm up my day next week.
Now THIS image was neat. I basically took my least favorite camera angle/sex position in adult work and tried to think of a way to make it more interesting and hot for me. And I settled on scrotum lifting. Enjoy.
Hello, Steering Committee! I decided to re-up this poll after it was up for... a second... to include an image of the characters in question, so you can have a better idea of who is what, especially with some of the characters who haven't made as much of an appearance.
So, in the upcoming days I'll be doing warmup colored sketches, and I need you to help me decide who to be the central subject of these sketches. I'm excluding Sissy because she has a comic coming up. I may do a male list after I'm done with this next string of warmups, which could be interesting.
Feel free to vote for more than one! If you have any questions about them, let me hear it in the comments below. Thank you!
Work in progress. I'll finis this up as I have the time!
Since the steering committee decided the sequel to "Offline" would be the next comic I do, I decided to draw this as a follow up to the last Sissy and Marley image I did last year. I just decided to reverse the roles a bit.
I included the first image in this post, too.
Attached here you'll find archives for sketches and monochrome shaded work for 2019 as well as 2018. This will help new patrons keep their collections up to date quickly if they like. You also have a list to links to .zip archives with sketches and warmups that go back to 2013.

Attached, you'll find a .zip containing all the completed images from 2019 and 2018. 2018 is especially prolific because I was doing a lot of series that the steering committee was voting on, or just things I felt like doing. That was before life got complicated with moving and such. But things should settle this year and I should get back into the swing of producing more.
There's nothing new here, but it could help new patrons catch up and keep their collections complete. There's also a list of links to back images going back to 2007.
Enjoy and thank you!

Lots to cover! "Enemy" is up to 22 pages now, and it's almost done. I have one less page done than I wanted for today, but that's due to the holidays. Enemy should be finished this month and the new comic will be started immediately. So for February's update, you'll see this comic in total, plus the new pages of the new comic. The Steering Committee has voted for "Online" (the sequel to Offline) being the next comic, so things should get a little more light hearted.
Later on, today, I'll be uploading an archive of my single pictures and sketches from all of 2019, for all who want to keep up with their collections. I'm also planning to work on a drawing today that will reacquaint my drawing hand with Sissy and Marley.
Back issue list is unchanged for this month. Next month will include "Normal Perverts" since that comic will then be a year old. Also in February's update, all of 2018 will be compiled into a single .zip.
Thanks for a great 2019! All of this is possible because of your support.

Back into the swing of adding to this. Feels good to be back at full work mode.
After a while of not putting pencil to paper, I reacquainted my drawing muscles with something simple. And now it's time to dive right back in to work.
2020 is here and work resumes at a full clip. Let’s make this year even better than the last! This sketch will become this year’s first little post as I get back into the drawing swing after holidays.
I guess I'll be doing "Online" when I finish the first part of Enemy in January. Thank you all for participating and letting me know.
Hello, Steering Committee! It's time to vote on what project I'm going to work on as my main color comic after the first part of "Enemy" is finished. I thought I'd finish it before the end of December, but I really want to add another bit of scening to finish it out and set up the next bit, so it's going to take some time in January to finish.
So, you get to vote on what I work on next. Whatever you choose, the initial pages will be included in the February 5th 2020 update, along with all of Enemy part 1, in its totality.
Online - A follow up comic to "Offline". This time Marley has his internet back, but Sissy isn't ready to end the bit of fun they were having. She jumps through sexual hoops trying to compete with and lure him away from his unrepentant pornography addiction. The overall theme would be sexually comedic and fun, just like its predecessor.
Taken (working title) - Beth becomes exposed to, and involved in, Trixie and Ty's open relationship in a way neither one of them expect. An open relationship steers into love triangle territory with feelings and repercussions that none of the people involved could see coming. This comic will feature significant developmental changes for Beth, Trixie, (and possibly Aron), with a real introduction of Ty as a comic character.
Enemy part 2 - Another option is to dive right in to the second part of the "Enemy" story and continue things. The second part I have planned has a significant level of fantasy violence in some sections, but it's necessary to the story and the implied world building. It'll also continue the erotic parts, and tie up the conflicts from the first part for our protagonists.
Mistress Theressa - It was requested that I add this to the list of polling options once more, so I'm doing it. Continuing the pages of Theressa's journal, where she sexually catalogues the nature of the fantasy world's races and monsters. It's a big project and will probably take a while to do if left to my spare time. :3
I'm allowing more than one vote per person, so go nuts. Give me a good idea of what you love.
Touching base with everyone. Here is all that is going on.
Basic Tiers- I haven't had the same free time to do individual pictures this year as I did last year, where I polled my steering committee tier for more ideas and ended up doing pictures series, often. I'm ensuring there are at least some images each month, still. I hate to blame life things, like buying a house and needing to finish it, but it's taken up a bit of my time and money. I anticipate things settling back to a normal schedule early next year. Until then, thank you for understanding!
Comic Tiers - For the comic tiers, work on "Enemy" continues and it's one of my favorites. I'm enjoying the work I'm putting into the pages and I may have lied about wrapping it up in December. There's an extra bit of scening I want to use to close out the chapter and it's going to take some work into January to do it. But, when it's done it's something I'm going to be happy with, and I hope you will be too.
I'll be hitting the ground running with more Brooke Goes To College next year. I have a bunch of the story and pages already planned out, I just have to sit down and do them when I can. Hopefully, even with the Cottonwine "Enemy" story getting the main attention, people who prefer the Original Life universe can still enjoy this one.
Steering Committee - There's a poll coming up after this to determine which comic project I'll be doing when I finish up "Enemy" early in January. Be sure to vote in the next several days if you want to have a say in where I go next for my main color comics.
As I told the standard tier, I hope to get you more involved in the picture series and sketches I do next year, as I didn't have the time to put into as many in 2019 as I did in 2018, and they were a lot of fun.
Thank you all for another great year. None of the work that I do would be possible without your support. That's not just some token bromide, that's the undeniable truth. 2020 will be even better!
Have a great holiday, everyone.
A quick pencil I put together last night and colored to warm up this morning. It's one I started drawing without a plan, really. Usually I know where I'm going.
Just progressing the plot. All of it.
Please don't ask for spoilers.
"Enemy" continues. The pages are looking good to me. I only have five new ones for this month, which always makes me feel a little bad. But I like how everything's coming out. I should be finishing up the entire story in December.
The back issue list is unchanged from last month. This is the last comic update of the year, and it's been a good year for sure. Lots of things getting done that otherwise wouldn't be possible without your support!

Some warmup sketching I did this morning, and I'll probably add some colors to, later. I've been hammering away on the "Enemies" comic and trying to balance life things at the same time. The pages are looking great, but they sometimes take me a while. I think I may only have five new pages to display on the 5th this month instead of the usual 6. But I'm definitely going to have this comic done during December.
Look forward to voting on what's next if you're in the steering committee tier.
It's the time of year where things get nutty, but rest assured I'm still working. I'll try to not let lots of time go by without at least sharing something or talking.
Something quickly drawn that I put colors on to warm up with. I guess it's not a bad accompaniment to the current Original Life +5 plot arc going on over at the SFW Patreon.
Sketched and colored this quickly today, as a bit of atmosphere and development. There are some things kind of "off" about it to my eye. I may revisit it later in a more finished image, but this is just quick proof of concept.
Resuming, finally.
If you're new and want to catch up on this comic, you can go back and review these entries to get your reading caught up:
Part 1: https://www.patreon.com/posts/brooke-goes-to-1-29972341
Part 2 (in progress): https://www.patreon.com/posts/brooke-goes-to-2-29972473
"Enemy" proceeds on pace. The pages get complicated and sometimes take me a lot more time to finish, especially when I include painted wolf tribals and everything. But everything here is definitely show-don't-tell. So, I really had to tell a story with this one, and show why Rayka couldn't just go home. If you reaaaallly just care about all the graphic sex and breeding, you'll want to be around for December's comic rewards. But I promised myself I wouldn't cut corners with this comic.
You'll find all the finished pages so far in the gallery. You'll also find a .zip attached to this post containing the same.
"Offline" is now a year old! Wow, time zooms by. So it is now included in the back issue list for the comic rewards, below.
Thank you all for your support. Of course, none of this would be possible without it.

Some sketches I for the heck of it and put aside some time of the day to color them.
Did manage to carve out some time to do this. I'll color it as I get a chance.
This particular comic is taking up a lot more time because I'm working through details (not in the exhibited frames here, but in others), so the coloring takes a few more calorie hours. Still, I like how it's coming. But I realized I've only had a couple of sketch uploads since my last comic update, despite all the things I've wanted to set aside time for. I kind of envy those artists who just work on one thing at a time.
This is the kind of comic where I'm not cutting out moments, because I really want to showcase the world, and the entire comic is show and not tell. This particular story is probably going to be well into the mid twenties on page count, possibly higher.
I hope you all enjoy, and I'm sorry if I haven't updated as much as I have in the past!
Some more Lucy sketches, including one I posted to the SFW Patreon, where she's just going out to the wine store. Or something!
I think I once drew Brooke in this exact same pose. Oh well, it's a good one. Someone in the steering committee mentioned wanting to see Lucy again, so I decided to draw her up as a warmup, this morning.
"Enemy" has begun, and here at the first six pages of the story. If you want to download them all in one fell swoop, you can also find them attached to this post as a .zip file. I'm taking my time on this one, so I hope you can indulge me if you're just waiting on the sex to start. It will. There's a lot less text and dialog in this comic, and I'm just letting the story tell itself mostly with visuals.
The back issue list is still unchanged, and will be until the next rewards update in November. At that point, "Offline" will be added. Hard to believe it's been a year since I drew that comic. It was one of my favorites to work on.
Thank you all for your support. These comics wouldn't be possible without you!

Sorry I haven't done much for the Steering Committee in a while, but I did want to open this discussion up with you here, and allow you all to contribute. Instead of doing a poll, I want your general comments on any particular topic that you'd like to see from me more regularly (or at least just once) in the future. It may be something new, or something I've done before and stopped drawing. Let me know here.
Please also read the comments and click the hearts on whatever you agree with, so I can get a good picture of what people like.
Things I already plan on doing more of as the year inches toward completion:
- Brooke Goes To College
- Continuing Mistress Theressa's guide
Examples of subjects that you might like to see more of and open for discussion:
- Characters I haven't drawn in forever and where they might be now
- Fetishes/actions/subjects you don't think I draw or write enough about
- Features/rewards for Patreon that you might like
Anything and everything else really. If there's something you're curious about and would like to see, it's your privilege to talk with me, and other fans, about it here.
Doing a few design tweaks of Ty, as I want to kind of make him a more substantial character beyond his (very) few appearances as one of Trixie's lovers. I gave him a haircut and modified some of his coloring.
I also put him on top of Beth.
Maybe that'll be relevant later.
Wrapped this up. Felt good. May do some more with these two in the future, time permitting.
I drew this up over the weekend as a warmup and then put some shades on it before starting work today. I'll probably add another shade layer and color it up later.
For those who may want to easily catch up. New page coming after this post!
Since I haven't done a new Brooke page in a while, and we have quite a few more patrons now, I thought I'd do some recaps of the everything up to this point, using the spiffy new gallery system.
For those not in the know, this is a comic I do with a casual pace, to add development to Brooke in my spare time. It started out as something whimsical, an experimental webcomic designed to put something sexy (and largely butt oriented) on every page, and it eventually evolved into something more serious, and spun off some extra characters, like Kaori and Alicia.
I'm posting this part 1 recap. Then I'm going to post the part 2 recap up to this point, and then post the new page.
The comic tentatively titled "Enemy" has started, and I'm pouring most of my time into it. Putting some extra details where I can and trying to get a more serious flavor into the Cottonwine world in the process. I'm also taking the time to let the story segments play out how they appear in my mind, which is sort of like a movie, initially. I kind of want this one to be a little bit "next level" for me.
The comic is about a human man and an tribal anthro wolf female together. It's something I've been curious about but didn't want to try to do until I had a little tale in mind that justified it. There are a lot of ideas that I think about and that people ask for, but until I can think of a good way to present it, I tend to hold off.
The plant he's harvesting isn't a source of cottonwine. The drug doesn't make an appearance in this story at all. That's just some winter plant, maybe for medicine.
I've also started the next Brooke In College page for the comic tier ($6+). That's a story that badly needs to be resumed.
I drew this up last night and put colors on it this morning for the heck of it.
I'm using the Patreon gallery function for this update. Hopefully, it makes the comic updates more easy to digest for those with phones and tablets. We'll see how this goes. I also included the .zip file in case people wanted the images on their PC without size reduction.
I liked working on this comic a lot.
The back issue list remains unchanged for now! It'll be updated in November, when "Offline" will be a year old.

I'm back home okay and everything looks good. Not even a shingle missing. Work's going to resume tomorrow. I'm pushing back the comic update normally scheduled for the 5th, to later on the 6th (this Friday).
Thank you for your patience!
So, I’m in Orlando and waiting for the slowest storm in the world to finally blow through. I should have just stayed home and continued work. I’ll let you know when I get back to the office but I’m pretty sure the comic update for the 5th will be delayed.
Hurricane Dorian is heading for me and I'm ready for it. But it means that my work may be somewhat delayed. Unsure how long internet and power will be an issue after it. It's hard to tell exactly where it will land but it's so big, it'll probably affect most of Florida.
I'll keep you up to date as best I can. If my update for the 5th of September is late, you'll probably know why!
Hello, steering committee! I'm almost done with "Rekindled" and I plan to have it done by the next comic update. However, there's a hurricane heading toward my state and well, that's another matter.
Normally I'd be asking you to vote in a poll for what comic I'm to do next. But as I was compiling the list, I kept hoping one would win. Normally I don't mind which one wins, because I don't let you vote on something I wouldn't want to do. But in this case, I really wanted one to win, so I'm going to make the decision to go along with it as my next project.
There'll be many more things to vote on, like sketch series and such afterwards.
I'm going to go ahead and do a comic idea that I really want to try, about a human dude and a wolf woman in the Cottonwine world. I don't want to spoil a lot about it, so I won't talk about it much. But I thought I'd let you know why there's no poll, and what's happening next.
I'll probably have a hurricane-themed announcement when we hopefully know a little more about what jerk Dorian is doing.
Coming along bit by bit. Will probably have it done tomorrow.
A piece in progress. I'm halfway debating going back to a more embellished pencil form with more hatching, but I' not sure if it detracts from it a bit when I finish and color it.
I guess we'll see when I color it.
This is featuring Beth, Trixie, and Ty, the surfer guy I've drawn with Trixie in the past, but rarely since.
Some speculation and questions were happening about the meanings behind some of these common markings, so I made a little info-dump to cover some of these and give more flavor of the Cottonwine universe.
Bear in mind, I drew all my past comics without any real definitions in mind, so please don't go through all my old stuff and pick out characters with similar markings and ask me questions about why they're like this and not like that. It's difficult to go back and try to build consistent meaning on things that were created before there was any. :3
Enjoy.
Thank you all for participating in the theme poll! It's helping me quite a bit, and I'm finding it interesting.
The top performers are those who broke over 50 votes:
Taboo Relationships coming in with the most at 80. Character Development next with 64. Human Male/Anthro Female is interesting at 58. Straight Sex at 57. Human Female/Anthro Male strong at 56. Fertility focus has 54 votes.
I've only ever done one story before with a human male having sex with an anthro female, so it was interesting to me that people are pretty into seeing more of that. I actually have a small Cottonwine story germinating with that theme, but like most things Cottonwine, it has a serious streak to it. Cottonwine stories have never performed very well when offered as polling choices for the next comic project, so we'll see how that goes.
Things that got the least votes are those that didn't break 30:
Transexual Characters at 25. Domination Focus at 26. Nudism Themes at 28. And Sexual Rapaciousness at 28.
Most of these are no surprise. I imagine because a lot of these are neither here nor there as a story's primary focus. Transexuality is probably incidental to what a lot of people think about a character, Nudism sounds tame as a focus, and the other two seem equally incidental to much more important themes.
Thank you all again! Feel free to use this space to leave comment about the results, or discuss particulars about why you voted and more examples of what you love. It's your privilege.
I did another sketch of Rayka to color up. It's been a while since I've drawn a wolf in tribal paint, so I wanted to see how it came out.
I quick bit of sketching I did last night and colored it this morning. I named her Rayka for no particular reason.
I'm hitting you guys up for yet more feedback. I'm going to leave this one up for a few days. There are a lot of thematic directions I can choose to go in over the next few projects, and I wanted to get some feedback as to their various popularities from the steering committee. Please vote on your preferences.
You can vote on more than one thing, so go nuts. This is to give me a general idea. If you're just ambivalent about a particular subject or theme, then don't vote on it. Make sure what you like or want counts! It's important to vote on all the ones you like because they aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. I'm probably going to do a more character/species specific focus poll later. So be ready to vote a lot!
Describing the choices below:
1. Character Development Focus - Things similar to what Brooke is going through in her college comic. Character growth and development in a sexual context. Usually semi-serious or at least stories with some gravity and consequences to a character's life.
2. Silly Comedic - Things similar to comic "Offline", which are designed to be somewhat funny even if they touch on real issues.
3. Nudity/Nudism - A focus on doing public every day things while naked.
4. Taboo Relationships - Focus on relationships are that socially outside the norm and possibly frowned upon. Examples would be Brooke's age difference fetish, mismatched characters by lifestyle or class.
5. Adultery Focus - Cheating or cuckoldry. This may exist in any other story, such as with Sissy, but this indicates a particular focus on this aspect.
6. Sexual Rapaciousness - Sexual acting out, usually a woman with a high drive and a lot of partners, whether anonymous or otherwise. Characters similar to Lynne or Rachel.
7. Human Female/Anthro Male - Sex between human women and anthro males.
8. Human Male/Anthro Female - Sex between human men and anthro females.
9. Feminine Men/Bisexual Men - Focusing on characters such as Mike and Flounce, and their general girlish nature.
10. Transexual Characters - Focusing on a character like Audrey.
11. Fertility Focus - A deliberate focus on either pregnancy risk or fertilization.
12. Lesbian Focus - A focus on lesbian relationships in particular, whether the characters are lesbians or bisexual, such as Beth and Trixie, or Alicia and Brooke.
13. Domination Focus - A focus on BDSM, ownership, domination and service. Characters like Kaori and Priscilla.
14. Tribal Settings - Tribal settings, such as those in Cottonwine.
15. Straight Focus - Sex between males and females.
The steering committee elected to have Trixie have a lewd dream about Aron. I suppose this could lead to some uncomfortable tension later.
Well, you sure are surprising. Let's see how this turns out.
August's comic rewards feature the next six pages of Rekindled. It's a pretty hot one if you ask me. You can find the attached .zip file containing pages 1 through 14 of the ongoing comic. Thank you for your support! These comics wouldn't be possible without it.
There's a new "gallery" feature for Patreon which allows the posting of multiple images at once, now. I thought it might be a good thing to have for comic updates, instead of dealing with .zip files, but I have a feeling it'd end up compressing everything and most frustratingly of all, it only allows you to upload a gallery of 5 images, whereas I usually have 6 new color pages each month. Alas. So close.
The back issue list remains the same. It'll change in November when "Offline" is added. That's one of my favorite of my own comics, and I can't believe it's been almost a year.

I asked the steering committee to vote on what she was dreaming of. Whenever impregnation is in a poll, it tends to win pretty resoundingly.
Impregnation always ranks high when I include it in a poll, so I shouldn't be surprised by this. Will finish that drawing this weekend.
I asked the steering committee to vote on what she was dreaming of, and most of them turned out to be abject perverts.
You perverts.
I'll post the finished image tomorrow. Thank you!
The steering committee voted for creepy girl so it's only going to get worse.
Back from being away on a trip for a week. Sorry!
Things ensue.
It's time to select a character that has an unrequited crush on Serena. For those who don't quite know, unrequited means she doesn't like them back in the same way. This is to set up future writing options for sketches series' and whatnot.
Please make selections based on the archetypes above. I'm allowing multiple selections per person, as well, so higher ranking characters that don't win can still give me a good read on what is popular.
Also, feel free to discuss and give any kind of feedback in comments below, as well as divulge any ideas that flow from any of the selections or other supporting characters that come to mind. It's your privilege! Have fun!
A warmup before working through the weekend. Kind of pulling together what I'm going to do with her going forward, with the steering committee, still.
Time to comic rewards! Productivity is back up to normal, so you're seeing the usual level of new pages, and I'm liking how these pages for Rekindled are coming out. Attached, you'll find a .zip file of the first 8 pages of Rekindled in progress.
I know we had some troubles with attachments working last month? If there are still reported troubles with Patreon attachments, I'll make another link to my server again and let readers grab them there, again. Hopefully whatever was going on last month is cleared up.
Beth Leashed is added to the list of back issues, since it's a year old, now. enjoy!

Back in 2017 I let the Steering Committee Tier ($12+) create a character named Serena, who turned out to this lioness with blue hair. Like so much else, the idea I had in mind for her was overly complicated and I eventually didn't go anywhere with it due to time and inspiration considerations.
I've thought about having her for a series of warmup sketches and asking the steering committee to elect certain specifics. I'll probably start them this weekend.
Warmed up with this as a sketch, and it evolved into something a little more.
This started out as a little thing and turned into a bigger thing. I'll be still making adjustments to it and coloring it as I have the time.
Did this as a warmup to preclude today's work, then I colored it.
Whew! Comic rewards are coming along for this month. First of all, Switches is now complete, and I hope you like the first comic appearance of Charles' sister, Claire, as brief as it may be. I decided to make her a female weight lifter, since she's pretty stout.
I've also started on Rekindled, the comic I promised to work on next, based on the last polling I did for the steering committee tier.
You'll find the complete .zip file for Switches attached, along with the first two pages of Rekindled.
EDIT: Some have had trouble with file extensions coming from the attachments. That's never happened before and I used the exact same process as always, and when I test the downloads, they work perfectly so I can't replicate the problem. If you are having trouble, you can download those things here as well:

Doing another auction to fill the weekend! Right as I break work on the new Michael and Samantha comic at the same time.
It's good to have days that are busy with work again. :3
If you're interested in bidding, you can do so here:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31663856/
You'll need an FA account to see adult material. Thank you all!
I'll color this later. I know it's getting hot outside, but I don't need a reason when the mood strikes.
Foxdale won my last YCH auction, so here he is with his cotton candy girlfriend. :3
A warmup sketch to get back into the swing of things after my girlfriend visited this week. Going to be working through the weekend!
Putting up another your character here auction now that I'm settled in. If you're interested in bidding you can find the auction on Fur Affinity here: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/31435283/
Thank you!
Well, I'm all moved in. I have five new pages in "Switches" to update with. But I'm glad to report that the comic will be completed in just a few more pages, this month, so you'll see the completed comic during the June 5th update next month. Added to that, I will be starting on "A New Michael" as I promised after the last steering committee poll. I've settled in to my living situation so I should be back up to my normal update levels.
Fear not for the steering committee, I will be giving them more to vote on later.
The back issue list hasn't changed since last month. Enjoy, and thank you all for your support! I couldn't do this without you.

After some consideration, and for the longevity of brand, I've decided, after some helpful feedback, that I won't create an internet name to use for my artwork. I appreciate all the suggestions and feedback, and as always, you all are the best. <3
It's been a while since I've kept in touch here, and there are a few things to cover as just a general "touching base" (whatever that means).
- "Switches" will be updated on the 5th of the month as usual, for the $6+ comic tiers. The entire comic will be completed during May as it only has a few more pages to go after this update. And the very end will see the debut of Charles' sister Claire.
- Production is pretty much back on regular schedule, so expect to see more single pieces, more comics, the resuming of the Brooke Goes To College story, along with the occasional YCH and such.
- Once "Switches" is done, I'm very probably going to devise an internet artist name. It's probably not that big a deal, and it hasn't been, but I started drawing stuff way back before the internet was huge, and every artist I was initially exposed to was using their real name. So, that's what I did. I know it may not change things colloquially, but I at least want to change things and come up with an internet artist name which isn't my real name. This means changing the name here, and on DA, and such, and it'll probably change the URL to my Patreon. I'll have to reflect that on the signature of all future pieces, and it may necessitate the updating of bookmarks.
However, I will need to devise an internet name. And if you have any suggestions, feel free to share them in the comments below.
When I initiate this change I'll probably let you know about a dozen times so you won't be caught off guard.
Thank you all for being patient while I've been moving over the course of weeks, and then working to try to catch back up by prioritizing my comic projects!
Found the time this morning to wrap this up, before moving on to draw comics forever!
I did find the time to warm up with this today. I'll color it later when there's more time.
I started back in on "Switches" today, and it's going to be my priority focus for the rest of April. There will be less work done on extra pictures and sketches, so I can make sure I produce an acceptable number of comic pages before the end of the month.
So, thank you all for your support, and waiting through as things get back on track. You're the best fans!
The office is up and running at full capability, so work will begin tomorrow in earnest. I'll probably start out by doing an Original Life page for the all-ages Patreon.
Those interested in supporting the all-ages Patreon can do so here: https://www.patreon.com/jrnarts
The big stuff comes to the new house tomorrow. First priority is to set up the office and unpack the big paper.
In the new house. I’ve got essentials but there are still things to do as far as getting the big stuff in Monday. But I’m ahead of schedule.
This is Spartacus exploring one of the bathrooms, taking the move in stride.
Things will be on track. I’m waiting for the internet in the new place today, and I’m getting all my big stuff (including studio furniture) moved Monday. Work should resume next week.
Thanks for all your patience!
The last YCH commission for a bit! I'll keep everyone updated as I focus on my move!
This cutesy quicky of Alicia heralds my post about April's work schedule.
So, at the ripe, spry age of 41, I'm buying a house, finally, and closing on it Monday. I'm going to be very busy next week getting lots of things set up, appliances acquired, things moved over, and organized. This is going to bite into my production time quite inevitably, and I'm going to be dependent on the schedules of others for utilities like the internet.
Once I'm there, I'm there, finally. I don't plan on moving again for a very long time. I'll have permanence.
I'm going to prioritize work on the adult comic "Switches" when I can find the time to work on it, and when I get my studio set up in the new spot. This means that there'll probably be far fewer extra images on the side, or pages for Brooke Goes to College, on my adult blog. When I get the studio up, I will probably make sure I do an Original Life page for the SFW blog since it's been neglected the last couple of weeks.
I have one more NSFW commission that I took as a YCH to complete this weekend, then it's full time moving until things get set back up.
Thank you all for your support and patience! None of this would be here without you.
Switches is coming along well, in my estimation. Attached to this post you'll find a .zip of the first 11 pages of the comic in progress, as Genwyn cuts a path through his sexual rivals and crushes. Testosterone is a hell of a drug.
There's an impending move coming, which will mean taking lots of time to get a new house up and running and moving my studio and all. This weekend I will have an announcement up about my planned work schedule for April.
Mai and Minh's vacation is now a year old, so it's been added to the back issue list before. I've also moved all of 2017s comics into one single .zip file for download, now. This will be the list until July, when Beth Leashed will be a year old.

One of the last of my initial wave of extra work assignments to help pay for my move. I'll have an update on my schedule soon! Next week is about to get intensely busy in real life.
Another Sherri piece. In this picture she's just taking a casual jog through the park.
I'm not saying this is destined to happen. I just wanted to draw it.
This was finished up today, and it's the first of the YCHs that's publicly viewable. Of course a reptile won it. But I kind of like how she came out and I enjoyed doing the little scale texture on her body.
As part of my gathering money to help with my move, I entered a business arrangement with Sherri to do a few pieces for her stories. This is the first one of those images.
Working these long days, but it's worth it. :3
The second YCH goes up right after the first is won. Played it simple this time with just a single character.
If you're interested, you can find this entry here and bid, or just watch the bidding:
Drew this last night after work and colored it up first thing today, just for fun. I'll never get tired fo drawing Beth, even if she's just standing around.
First YCH is up on FA. If you're interested in bidding, you can find the entry and rules here:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/30870861/
Thank you all!
Hello, supporters! I'm making this announcement to let you know that YCH auctions are incoming and will be hosted on my old Fur Affinity account. The reason is:
I'm in the process of finally purchasing a house and I'm seeking to mitigate some of the expense of an impending move. I don't need to do this, but I'm more comfortable doing so for a bit, since houses are such a large initial hit.
Those interested can watch my Fur Affinity account here: https://www.furaffinity.net/user/fisk/
They'll surely be NSFW commissions, so you will need to be logged in to an account to see them there.
I can't say how many and for how long I will do them! But it shouldn't affect things here. It'll just be me working longer days in the meantime.
Thank you!
A redesign of an old character named Penelope, for some particular reason or another. For those who may not remember, she appeared last in the comic "Lynne" in 2014 as kind of an extra and Genwyn's friend. She had older sketches of her that appeared even further back, as well.
Getting back into the swing of the drama and the turmoil.
I have only the first five pages of "Switches" ready because of the very short month, the travel I did, and an illness I had. But still! I'm surprised I managed to do as much in February as I did. Things have settled in and I'm more or less back on my normal schedule of production. I appreciate your patience and support!
The back issue list is still the same. Next month, I'll be adding the Mai and Minh comic from early last year, as it will be a year old. And I'll compile all of 2017s comics into their own single .zip instead of having them individually listed like now.
Thank you again!

The comic rewards get posted tomorrow, but instead of posting them first thing, I'll be posting them in the evening. I have an appointment which will take up most of my day and I won't be able to post up the comic stuff until I get home. Thank you for the patience!
I also have only 5 pages set for the update. I was hindered by having a week long trip during February, along with an illness I had which had me working during only medicated times for a week, combined with being the shortest month of the year, hit my productivity pretty hard. But I'm getting back on track.
I could have had a page six, but I also decided to get back to work on Brooke Goes To College for the $6 tiers, as well, since it's been on hiatus for a while.
I appreciate all your support. None of this would be possible without you.
Decided to name her Claire, since her and Charles probably have the kind of parents that name their kids names that all have the same first letter.
This was a warmup sketch.
Spent last night sketching a possible design for Charles' sister. I'm open to name suggestions.
Fiddling around with a fuzzy texture. I may decide to use something like this in the future, a little more sparingly than I used it here, as I was practicing. We'll see.
Something quick and simple I did with the intent of, later, experimenting with some textures and such to perhaps develop a more elaborate color method. If I'm successful, you'll see it. If I'm not, I'll burn the studio, collect insurance, flee to Mexico, and no one will ever know of my failure.
I'll be finishing this up soon. It's fun to settle in and just do something cute.
I didn't forget how to draw while I was away this week. I'll probably color this for supporters tomorrow.
I'm heading out of town for most of the week, so I won't be able to post anything. I'll be back next weekend to resume normal production. Thank you all!
I miss working with characters that are so simple to color. Now I'm off to draw red pandas and cry.
Normal Perverts is finished, and you can find all 20 pages attached to this post in a .zip. It's leading head long into some of the character themes surrounding Brooke and Francis that will be covered in ongoing pages of Brooke Goes To College. I'm sorry I haven't worked on those as much as I should, but drawing and coloring Brooke all the time in my main project means I wasn't putting as much into her side comic. But I expect that to pick up a bit more now.
Here is the usual list of back issues that are a year old. Thank you all!

An early look at a more submissive and girly Charles. These are some sketches I did last night and put some finishing on them this morning.
According to the Steering Committee Tier's voting, this twisted triangle is going to be getting another comic story and another evolution in their character dynamic, with Genwyn starting to take matters into his own hands.
This was a sketch I did in front of the television a few days ago and colored it up, today.
When I included "Switches" in the list, I remarked to my girlfriend that I didn't expect it to win because it mostly involved two feminine guys. Then I realized that it includes red pandas, which are the most time consuming characters to color, so it'll probably win anyway.
I'm probably going to forgo a comic poll next time and just go ahead and do the Michael story right after Switches, since I kind of expected it to win this time, and I want to advance the two characters that it's about.
Thank you all for participating! You're the best.
"Normal Perverts" is coming to a close soon and it's time to give me direction. Put on your decision making boots and make a choice about which comic(s) you'd most prefer to see done next. I've decided to go back and look at a lot of the older polls to keep up with a lot of the ideas that have come and gone, and see how things have performed. I decided to make a bigger than normal list, finding a lot of things I wouldn't mind working on next, as a main focus. Because of the number, I'm going to allow you to vote on more than one entry, and give me a general sense of not only a winner, but where side-projects might focus. Without further delay:
A New Michael - Kind of a working title. A more expounded upon plot for when Michael and Samantha meet up again and fall into lust, and make babies, covered in a cursory way in previous pictures and sketches. Samantha will be dodging the watchful scrutiny of Priscilla and her favored males, while carrying on with Mike. Themes of sneaking around, breeding.
The Bet - Back from a prior poll. Mary bets Audrey she can't go two weeks without cumming. Audrey gives it her best, but between Mary and Aron, she's very tempted to lose. Can she hold out? Teasing kinks, chastity, anal sex, oral sex, lesbians. Erotic comedy.
Switches - Another working title. Following the convoluted threeway taboo dynamic between Charles, Lynne, and Genwyn. This story will find Genwyn becoming more assertive and doing to Charles what Charles did to Lynne, in a cute switch. This will have themes of crossdressing, taboo, and funny moments, with bisexual femmy guys.
Mistress Theressa's Guide To Carnal Erotica - If chosen, I'll focus on doing this compendium from the cottonwine universe until it's complete. For those who may not remember, this is a book being put together by a character from the cottonwine universe, a woman, who travels the world and writes about what it's like to have sex with different races and monsters in the realm - some safe, some dangerous. It has illustrated pages with text.
The Mission part 2 - The continuation of the first chapter of the mission, depicting the equine fertility rituals amid the attempt to enlighten. Like the first chapter, this will be in black and white with the goal of producing more pages than normal, and to maintain consistency.
Two Sides of a Coin - A project about Sissy, with a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde theme. It's about the way she desperately maintains her outward propriety, while her dangerous hedonism is like an animal threatening to get out and dominate her personality. The tone will be about contrasts, her sexual depravity, temptation, group sex, anonymous sex, risky sex, and what she does to trigger what her animal side wants.
Poll will end Monday. Thank you!
Started out as a sketch and made it the next pic in this little ditty of a series.
I was just going to work on a little of this today and it became a whole thing.
... which one of you magnificent jerks broke the tie at the last minute?
A work vid for all you gorgeous people in the steering committee, discussing the recent poll and the idea of characters being "happy" forever, while I work on this picture.
I uploaded this to Youtube and set the video as unlisted, so I can reserve it just for you guys. So I hope there's no issue with the... tasteful, artistic nudity. But I figured streaming was more convenient than a downloadable video attachment.
Setting aside the time to work on more little pictures this month, and I'm wondering what the Steering Committee wants to see more of, on the subject of couples. I'm drawing a lot of Brooke right now, so I'm excluding her from this. :3
Here are the choices. Feel free to vote on more than one.
Beth and Orange Guy - Lots of straight sex. Lots of female orgasms.
Beth and Trixie - A sapphic pair of sharply contrasting personalities.
Samantha and Mike - Curvy mother vs. slim twink making babies.
Audrey and Mary - Lesbian sex, but with a penis.
Audrey and Aron - Straight sex without a vagina.
Aron and Zoe - Flexible straight sex.
Lynne and Charles - Extra perverted straight sex.
Whew! The holidays were quite busy, but the comic rewards chug along on schedule. I always think I have a grip on how much I can do, and then social obligations often torpedo my expectations. This showed up mostly in the side-drawings I didn't get done for December. I realized since moving to 11x17 pages and increasing the page numbers per comic, it takes me a bit longer to do any one particular project. But I think the finished project is worth it.
Attached, you'll find the zip file of pages 1 through 15 of Normal Perverts. I'll be finishing it this month. If you're in the Steering Committee tier, be prepared to vote on the next project late this month. "The Mission" has been added to the back issue list, since it turned a year old in December.
Thank you for a great 2018! None of this would be possible without your support. You are great.

Working the hangover fog off by doing this real quick.
The stretch of spending time with loved ones is over. Work resumes in full, turgid swing. Sorry for not having any updates this week!
This'll probably be the last stand-alone finished image I do for 2018, once I finish it. At least I hope so. I already made the signature.
Something I started and slowly ran out of energy for tonight. I think I’ll slowly fill up the entire page and clean it up and just work on it bit by bit in my spare time.
This is an interview which I think is about a year old. Alexey made a cute newspaper-like blog where he publishes his interviews. I decided to go ahead and go along, in case folks were curious. You can find the entire interview here:
https://alexey-belovolsky.tumblr.com/post/181199864274/a-big-interview-with-jay-naylor-the-most
There's some old information in it. Like how .45acp is my favorite pistol caliber (I'd probably say 9mm now), and me talking about video games from 2017. Enjoy.
It is back for part 2. For those who weren't around for part 1, I'm including it as an attachment .zip here. Along with the usual attached page of course.
The sketch archive is actually pretty big, despite me keeping sketch archives for fewer years. What I filed under "sketch" includes the shade-only, some crops, and even some other stages of the work process I intended to show off. It's also all the warmups I did back when I had the $50 sketch warmup tier. Nonetheless, here's everything you can use to keep your archives up to date if you like. I'll do one for 2018's sketches when 2018 is finished.

All right, you luscious humps. As promised I've organized my archive of finished images going back as far as my own archives go, and I've compiled them here for easy download. This covers images from 2007 to 2017. I'll be doing one for 2018 when, you know, 2018 is finished.
Coming next: the sketch and sketch warmup archive.

This poll is for both of the comic level tiers ($6+) and not just the steering committee, because it pertains to both. I remember wondering about this in the past, but I don't remember ever talking about it publicly. What I'd like you to decide on is:
Bulk Comic Updates - What I've been doing since I started Patreon, updating with every page I've completed over the month, archiving them into a .zip file and attaching them to a post here, on the 5th of every month. If this method wins, nothing changes and we chug on as usual.
The advantage to this is getting a lot at once and having the pages form more of a context with each other since they can be viewed together. The disadvantage is that it takes a month between updates, and .zip files aren't always convenient for those viewing on phones.
As-Finished Page Updates - Posting each page as an entry as I complete it, or possibly two pages at a time as I finish them, letting people use the comic name as a search tag to go back and pick up older pages. This method will also include uploading a .zip of the entire comic so far, along with the back issue list you're used to seeing with every comic update, on the 5th of every month. This is so you can easily keep up to date if you're new.
The advantage of this is it's more friendly to people viewing on phones and such, and it allows for commentary feedback specifically per page. The disadvantage is getting the color adult comic as a slow drip instead of in readable chunks, which can create lots of commentary wonderment, spoiling, and idle speculation.
Whichever wins, it will not change the posting of a back issue list on the 5th of every month for new subscribers to make sure they're up to date.
So, please vote on whichever you'd prefer, and I'll work with the results. Thank you!
Poll ends Thursday 12-13-2018 at 11pm Eastern US
I'm very happy with Patreon, and I go out of my way to make sure I'm adhering to their community guidelines regarding adult only work. Buuuuut: I've established a Subscribestar account to essentially act as a hedge against Patreon, in case at some point in the future they start to get iffy about the kind of adult content I do. There's always the possibility of change, and we have to be ready.
https://www.subscribestar.com/jaynaylor
Subscribestar is way more dedicated to hosting any non-illegal content, including adult only content, in the wake of various tech giants deplatforming people for subjective and unpredictable reasons.
If you're happy with Patreon (and I am so far) then please continue to support me here and you won't miss out on anything! The Subscribestar exists only as a backup, a mirror, and an alternative for those who dislike Patreon for whatever reason. I'm mainly using it as a hedge against the future. From this point on, it will simply mirror what I do here.
Subscribestar has fewer features than Patreon. I can't put tags on images making it easy to search for characters and subjects, for instance. I can't seem to make publicly viewable posts.
I'm only going to have a $1 and $6 tier there. I won't establish a steering committee tier there unless somehow subscribers there surpass those here (doubt that'll happen though).
Instead of uploading every little thing I've done since I started Patreon, there, I'm going to organize my images by year and offer them as downloadable .zips so people can catch up quickly. When I do that, I will do the same thing on Patreon, as well, so you can scan for any images you may have missed! Look for it in the future.
Thank you! And take care. :3
Sketched this up quick last night and colored it this morning for a warmup.
This was Genwyn's idea. If I ever create a sexy character that everyone loves to hate, you can blame him.
Things are rolling good. I'm like how the pages to "Normal Perverts" are coming out. They look pretty good to me, and it's one of those projects I'm enjoying a touch more than usual. The last project was like that, so I've been working extra happy for some time. I DO want to start on the next chapter of "Brooke Goes To College" soon, to help coincide with this adult feature.
Attached, you'll find the .zip file containing the first 9 pages of "Normal Perverts". It's starting out largely sex geared, and later will hint at some character building aspects, where they wonder why they are so aroused by certain concepts and contexts.
The back issue list hasn't changed from last month. But starting in January, "The Mission" will be a year old and available for download for those who are relatively new members.
And there's quite a few new members popping up. A lot of them are coming over from Tumblr as refugees from the great exodus. I want to thank you all for your support! Without it, none of this happens!

Sketched this real quick last night and colored it today. I should make better strides to keep Beth's genitals on model.
The balance is a little askew, and the foreshortening might be a little too dramatic.
I had some sketches of what I imagine red pandas looked like in the Cottonwine world. More silly than anything, but silly is all right.
Got newer, better screen capture software on my new computer, so you get to hear more of my echoey studio, my crappy audio, and my old man complainy voice, where I go "uhm" and "tsk" a lot.
It's been a while since I did anything big like this. I want to practice doing a softer gradient on my shading when I dig into this, and right now I'm not sure how easy that will be with my new photoshop setup. We'll see. But I'll be working on this in the spare time.
One more to go after this. When I do, I'll likely attach a .zip file containing all of them.
It's getting harder and harder to name these kinds of pictures. I sketched this up last night and colored it this morning.
Not forgetting about this one!
I finished up the Orcine entry this with. Attached, you'll find the entire archive so far, all ten pages, if you need it to keep your collection complete. If you only need this page, you'll find that attached, too.
This will be a huge book if I ever finish it.
What a month. Between computer issues and vacations I was only able to get done five pages instead of my usual six full new pages. Really that has more to do with the computer than anything. Offline is complete at 21 pages, and you can find the .zip to the comic attached here. You'll also find the .zip containing the first three pages of Normal Perverts attached. The last two pages of Offline, and the first page of Normal Perverts are of lower quality because I didn't have them backed up yet when my computer bit the dust. It was either go back and do them again, and upload even fewer new pages, or go ahead, and I decided to go ahead. Part of me is still tempted to go back and redo those pages.
Let me know if it matters to you.
The back list for issues is still unchanged for this update. The Mission won't be a year old until January's update, at which point I'll just offer all of 2017 as a single archive. Thank you and enjoy!

Did this as a general update because I'm working at the same time and it's faster to do these this way. Just a video from my phone propped up against a speaker on my desk, so, pardon the POV.
I don't have screen capture software for my new computer yet. Haven't had time to set that up yet!
This is also a test of uploading "unlisted" videos to Youtube and then offering them here to paying Patrons.
Maybe someday I'll invest in some kind of phone mount I can use to aim at my drawing table and do more stuff like that.
I have the new system up and running and fully capable of work, and I knocked out a bit of it today, to make up for what I intended to do yesterday.
The files to make up the end of "Offline" and the first page of "Normal Perverts" are compressed, and on better, higher resolution monitors, you will notice the difference. But it's all I can do for now without completely re-doing those three pages, which is roughly a week of work without getting much else done. If I can eventually recover data from my prior computer, I will update the comics with the higher quality .jpgs.
I ordered the extra special screwdriver set required to open up my old laptop (because of course you need them, how can it be any other way?). I'm going to open it and survey and see what I can do with the HD inside. However, looking up the model, it's one of those where Apple decided to solder the titty-fucking SSD to the board. So even if I can get to it, I'm not sure I can get anything off of it, even with something that can read from a PCIe SSD. The old laptop is just refusing to turn on, all together, so any option that requires power to the old computer isn't possible.
Nonetheless, work proceeds.
I lost my work computer to a glass of water Saturday evening. It was powered on and, well, that’s all she wrote. Fortunately I was able to acquire a replacement upgrade the same day.
Everything important is backed up and I restored most of it. But I lost some recent work that I had done in the past couple of weeks. I was able to get them back (partly because Patreon’s file attachments act kind of like a off site backup for me) but I lost those PSD files (not a huge deal). But because of that last couple-week work loss, I lost the last two pages of “Offline” and the first page of “Normal Perverts”. Fortunately, I’d sent these completed pages to my girlfriend to show the moment I finished them, and she has the files, so comic updates shouldn’t be affected. However, the chat program used to share them through may have compressed them somewhat. So those pages might not be of the same size/quality as the rest. But I’ll see when I get the files back.
So, today, I’m finishing setting up my new computer with all the drivers and settings I need to work normally. And then I’ll try to knock out a few things.
Thank you for your support! Without it I couldn’t bounce back from this so quickly. (And I’ll probably do more timely backups from now on).
These two haven't received many votes from the steering committee for full-fledged adult color comics, likely because of the competition. So I'm condensing their story down to a series of pictures.
Spent my recovery Sunday shading and coloring some of these up a little. Work starts again in earnest tomorrow. :3
I'm taking a vacation back out to Arizona this week, so my updates will be scant to nonexistent until next week. Thank you for bearing with me! I'll be bringing a sketchbook so I may have scribbles to share here and there, time permitting.
Thank you!
The steering committee finished polling on the next adult comic project. It went back and forth, hot and heavy between The Bet and Normal Perverts with the latter winning out by three percent in the end. The last few times anything with Audrey's come up for consideration, she's done pretty well, so there's a good chance I may just dive right into The Bet after Normal Perverts is finished.
For those not in the steering committee tier, The Bet is about Audrey being challenged to not orgasm for a considerable amount of time. Normal Perverts is about Brooke and Francis relating as best they can as a normal couple, despite their deep seated eccentric tastes.
Taming Bruce receives a vocal support from the tier, but it never does well in polls compared to what it goes up against. I'm probably going to turn the idea into something of a picture series (kind of like Alicia) some time, so it can manifest somehow.
This should keep me busy until 2019.
I was allllmost done with "Offline" but there's still one page to go, so the comic won't be complete until next month's update, sadly. However, it's one of my favorites to work on so far. Attached to this post you will find a .zip file with pages 1-19.
The steering committee tier ($12) is currently polling on which comic project will be worked on next, and comprise the bulk of next month's comic rewards update.
Back issues have now had "The Awakening" added to it, since that comic is now a year old. Enjoy!

First digital drawing practice with the new tablet. Put aside today for it after I got caught up on all the comic stuff I need to do for a while. I'll be coloring this, probably tomorrow.
This month's update on "Offline" would have allllllmost had the project finished. But it's going to be one page shy when I update it on the 5th. But that does mean it's time for the steering committee to vote on what I'm going to be starting on afterwards. There are four contenders. I decided to nix the other idea I had for Sissy in the last poll, because I've been drawing and coloring her a lot with this project. Maybe I'll revisit it later.
This poll will end Friday evening.
1. The Bet - Mary bets Audrey she can't go two weeks without cumming. Audrey gives it her best, but between Mary and Aron, she's very tempted to lose. Can she hold out? Teasing kinks, chastity, anal sex, oral sex, lesbians. Erotic comedy.
2. Normal Perverts - Brooke and Francis work hard to have a normal relationship despite their eccentric sexual appetites. While the next chapter of Brooke Goes To College will cover the interpersonal environment that pertains to this, this comic will cover the erotic specifics of her and Francis sexual life and fantasies. Psychological fetishes, fantasy clashes. Erotic comedy.
3. Rachel's Rebellion - Rachel finds an insidious way to undermine her new owner, working to wrest back control of her erotic life by infuriating her mistress... without technically breaking the rules. Psychological fetishes, depraved fetishes. Darker erotica.
4. Taming Bruce - The story of how little Kaori managed to tame big bad Bruce, what Bruce was like before he met her, and how he became what he is, today. The psychological dynamic of dominance and how Kaori operates. Size difference, psychological dominance, pleasure control, oral sex, anal sex, vaginal sex. Darker erotica.
For those who don't remember, or who weren't here around in 2016...
When I first posted this page, it only had one shade layer and no title block, because I wasn't sure where it would go. I just had the thought of a very loose narrative where I'd manage to have sexy, preferably butt-themed imagery on every page. Then I created 22 more pages in my spare time, to encapsulate a first chapter of Brooke's character development in college. I added a second shade layer to this page (to better match the others) and a title block, since now.. well... this is a part of a larger thing.
It all reads much more like a webcomic than a serial issue, because of the time between pages and how each page usually encloses a plot point. It wasn't even until later in the story that I started using transition shots to indicate new locations and passages of time between pages, where applicable... and even then not always.
But, it ushered in a new sub-universe of characters within the Original Life world, that I refer to as Brooke's world. It pulled in Francis from her first adult comic appearance, and created new ones, like the filterless Cathy, Professor Anders, the devious Kaori with her man-pet Bruce.
Since all the pages came out infrequently in my spare time, over the course of a couple years, I'm posting this with a .zip archive of all 23 pages, so people can have their collections up to date and ready, before I start on chapter 2.
Chapter 2 will continue the same style and page size, and pick up where Brooke left off. It'll have the same frequency of completion... that is, in my spare time as I can... and it will be available to the $6+ comic tier. I can't say when I'll have the first page done, since it's kind of a here and there kind of thing.
So, if you're in the comic tier and don't have this entire chapter, download the attached .zip and enjoy!
Got a lot to do to keep the comics side of thing on schedule until the next update. So, I haven't had as much time to do single illustrations and sketches as I would otherwise want.
Just a heads up, in case you were wondering why things were a teensy bit quiet.
Next page. Not sure how often I will share a .zip of all prior completed pages as I go. Maybe once per month. Maybe with the comic rewards on the 5th.
Going to break in the new Intuos tablet with the pencils I accumulated over the last couple of days. I’m going to wear the nub down to a chisel point and the working surface will look like polished black glass in about a week.
Finished this up, and my loyal tablet of over ten years use was starting to bork up and disconnect intermittently. I've ordered another and it should be here Thursday. This'll be the last thing I can post as a colored piece, until then.
Worked late doing this as another bit of digital drawing practice. I'll color it as I have time.
I thought I'd get through today without doing any work. Then I up and did a little work.
Got tired of the same old banner, so I made a new one using existing work. I think it's a little more eye catching.
I sketched this in front of the TV last night and quickly put some shade on it this morning. I'll color it as I have more time.
I've been putting together plot lines for the next chapter of Brooke Goes To College. I'm not sure when I'll start it, but it's been on my mind a lot, lately, and goes even deeper into Brooke's psyche.
Beginning the Orcine. You'll find the first seven pages in a .zip attachment here, too.
Wrapped this up today, as promised. I should have flatted out the bottom of Kaori's butt a little, because floor resistance, or put some more skirt material over it, but ah well. There are more than a few tiny issues with it, but I pretty much laid it out on the fly as digital drawing practice.
Worked late into the night practicing pure digital drawing, again. I aim to color this sometime tomorrow and add dialog.
40 minute video. First pass on it had the sound not record correctly, so I had to dub a new voiceover covering what I went over. This is what I'll link to whenever someone asks me if I have any tips for beginners.
Thanks!
Thank you for your continued support! "Offline" proceeds along very well, and I'm pretty happy with these pages. You'll find the .zip containing page 1 through 13 attached. Please enjoy!
The back issue list remains the same until October, which is when The Awakening will become available on the list.

Thank you all!
Had fun fussing around with ways to depict underwater lighting. I like this picture.
I decided to draw this digitally, and I recorded an entire video of me drawing it from a skeleton, while talking about art tips, destined for youtube (without her nipples and pubes visible). When I was done, I realized my software was pulling audio from the wrong source and you couldn't hear anything.
So! I may do a voice over later. After dinner. And a few whiskies.
Then I'll color this eventually.
As you know, last month saw some issues with payment processing. Patreon, ever transparent, has sent me a message letting me know about how, why, and what to look forward to in case we run into similar troubles.
In case you were wondering, they had to transfer the processing of payments for adult material to an overseas processor in the UK. This is apparently necessary for the continuation of adult material on Patreon.
If you have any problems, you can contact your bank and assure them that the charge is legitimate. You can also reach out to the Patreon support team for help. Anyone who has a declined payment will get a message from Patreon with options for what you can do (so they tell me).
Patreon's been pretty responsive and communicative over every issue I've ever had with them. Here's hoping things are painless. If you have issues with your payment, you can always catch back up once you re-establish your contribution.
Thank you!
Final page of the Wolvenfolk entry. You'll find a copy of the page attached, along with all the previous pages so far if you need to easily keep your collection up to date.
Eventually these archives will start getting large, and I'll probably just start hosting them as downloadable links on jaynaylor.com
I debated using this sketch to finish because I'm not sure I got the angle consistent all the way up. But nonetheless, here it is.
Doing a little series of Red pictures to warmup to, and fill spare time with.
I gave the Steering Committee Tier a list of characters to let them decide who would be the subject of my next few warmup/spare-time drawings. Then I drew this little pic to advertise the results.
If you're interested in just having the image without the accompanying poll graphic, you can download the attachment to this post.
Reposting this poll since I forgot to include Hilde as a poll option! I apologize.
There are a lot of places I can go with the next little series of pictures I do for fun. Instead of letting you vote on the central fetish themes like last time, I've decided to let you decide which central character you want to see more of, and therefor have the images be about them in some way.
I don't have hard and fast ideas about each one of these yet. So I can't give you any summaries about what these images will be about. But just based on general character interest, please let me know which ones hold the most appeal for you. And yes, you can vote for more than one.
I've provided brief descriptions below, since not all of the characters have had tons of exposure and their names may not be enough. These are characters that inspire ideas for me, right now, but I haven't had an opportunity to depict much in their own right lately.
Rachel - You know Rachel. Pink bunny. She regards wholesome relationships the way a serial killer regards others' right to life.
Mary - Large black wolf and Audrey's girlfriend. Imposing but nice.
Hilde - Svelt, large breasted doberman pinscher. Appeared in the comic "Aron" at the end.
Trixie - Sensation-chasing nudist. You know her.
Red - Sexy otter who eschews emotional attachments.
Mike - Bisexual femguy switch. Re-hooked on women since getting Samantha pregnant.
Kaori - Dominant red panda who collects sexual worshipers. She appeared in the Brooke Goes To College series.
Zoe - Athletic flexible feline nudist. I'm afraid I haven't really done enough to get a feel for her personality and growth, other than having been devious in the past.
Penny - Light brown mouse. Sometimes Lynne's jogging partner and the object of her sexual acting out. Barely developed beyond this. She has a penis (and balls).
This'll end in two days. Have fun, and thank you!
I did this as a sketchbook sketch a few days ago and decided to color it. Brooke's legs are a little too short for her to be entirely on-model here, but I liked it enough to finish it anyway.
The "Wolvenfolk" entry begins. You can find this page attached for download, along with a .zip file containing page 1 through 4.
Another video where I prattle on about something that interests me while I work on something that's YouTube safe. This one's almost an hour long. c.c
Enjoy!
Sketched this a few days ago. Spent a bit of Sunday finishing it.
Comic rewards are proceeding as normal despite Patreon handing out a severe underpayment this month (they literally paid me $5.01 for last month). And since the 5th falls on a Sunday, who knows how long it will take to square this away. I'm wondering if other creators have had the same issue.
Nonetheless! "Offline" proceeds and I'm having fun with it. Seven pages are complete, and you can find the .zip containing those pages attached to this post. Enjoy!
The back issue list is the same as last month. It'll be the same until October, since The Awakening was finished last year until the end of September.

Thank you all, again. I appreciate your support through Patreon's payment issues and woes, and it seems like it's even affecting creators.
Apparently Patreon is experiencing a higher than normal number of card declines, this month. Who knows why. I know from experience sometimes CC processors are strange. If you find yourself declined for whatever reason, you can try to recreate your pledge or move to another payment, or clear it as non-fraud with your bank or something.
Just passing on the info!
Did this for youtube while working on a quick Thomas warmup sketch for the general-audience Patreon page here. If you're interested, you can find it, along with all of Origina Life +5 here: patreon.com/jrnarts
The final page of the Sarjhin entry in Mistress Theressa's guide is finished. You can find it attached here, as well as a .zip of page 1 through 3, in case you need to complete your collection.
Wolvenfolk next.
Started the day with something simple, before proceeding through my day of drawing rabbit butts until I die.
Hello $6+ comic tiers! I'm going ahead and uploading pages as I go with this. It looks like the race entries will take more pages than I thought, so I'm just going to share what I have and go from there. The kitties still have another page to complete their entry with, before moving on. I'll just share them as I finish them. Attached, you'll find all three pages for this project, so far. There'll be a lot more to come, and as I finish pages, I'll be sharing .zips of the project thus far, to let people keep up easily.
I thought I'd share the shades for the feline introduction of this little tome I'm slowly progressing through. This is going to introduce quite a few new races, and as I color and finish each entry, I'll be sharing them with the $6+ comic tiers. It'll kind of be done similar to how I did the Brooke comic, in my spare time as I have the ability. But it's something I definitely need to do and have been doing for a long time.
I’m working on things and entertaining a guest through the weekend, so my updates may be sparse until next week. Also, I’ve been working on stuff for the Cottonwine “Mistress Theressa” pages, and each race entry looks like it’ll take up two pages, thereabouts. So I’m not going to update the project (available to $6+ comic tiers) per page, but will update it per race entry. About every two pages it looks like.
Keeping you all up to speed. Still getting things done and keeping the comics on track is my priority. Thank you all for the amazing support!
The first and introductory page to this project I'll be doing in my spare time, similar to how I put out the Brooke Goes To College pages. This project did reasonably well in the recent Steering Committee poll, and it's something I've wanted to do regardless. So I'm just posting pages to the comic tier as I finish it.
I hope you enjoy this return to the Cottonwine universe. This will introduce a lot of new races and monsters, as well as revisit some old familiar ones.
I guess I'll technically classify this as an illustrated book instead of a "comic".
Also, let me know how it shows up on your screens. If you can read it without trouble. Thank you.
Another busy month come and gone. Beth Leashed is complete and I'm pretty happy with it. I got to play around with positioning and female orgasm depiction. I've also broken ground by finishing the first page of "Offline", the next full color adult comic.
Attached to this post, you'll find the full .zip archive of "Beth Leashed", as well as the first page of "Offline". Offline has a little bit of setup, and I was hoping to have two pages to show, but Independence Day shenanigans got in the way of that.
The back issue list is unchanged and will remain so until October, which is when "The Awakening" will be a year old. Here is the back issue list of projects that are at least a year old, right now:

Thank you all!
I did a vid where I meanderingly talk about Fallout 76 and related video game subjects while I work on this image, which is for my SFW Patreon blog. If you're not yet familiar with it, it's where I'm posting Original Life +5 and some extra illustrations when I have the time for them. You can find it at www.patreon.com/jrnarts
Everyone knows an ovum's nucleus is shaped like a heart.
I accidentally let the poll run longer than necessary, because I was brisk and didn't read the calendar correctly. But alas, it served its purpose.
I'll be doing "Offline" next. It's funny, I often have an idea of what might win in the polls, and I'm very often incorrect. But this time I had a feeling Offline would win. Not only did it have several independent images done prior to help prime the pan for it, but it was the most unique of the two plot-driven projects on the list.
The Mistress Theressa project will probably live on in independent images that I do over time. As I stated in the last poll, I've already started writing entries for it, and once I finish up Alicia's little run of breeding images, I'm probably going to start on that as my spare time work. This is all the more inspiring for me that this project came handily came in second place.
I want to thank the Steering Committee tier for their participation!
For those not in the Steering Committee tier, here is a summary of the projects that were voted on:
1. Two Sides Of A Coin - The runner up by a HAIR in the last poll. A project about Sissy, with a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde theme. It's about the way she desperately maintains her outward propriety, while her dangerous hedonism is like an animal threatening to get out and dominate her personality. The tone will be about contrasts, her sexual depravity, temptation, group sex, anonymous sex, risky sex, and what she does to trigger what her animal side wants.
2. Offline - A comic story inspired by the picture series featuring Sissy and Marley. Marley's a 23 year old man still living at home without a job. When his mother takes away his internet, he's forced to leave the house in search of ways to find his fetishistic extremes. He recruits Sissy, who reluctantly agrees to act out what he's used to viewing with others, and even let him experience some for himself. He learns a lesson about the difference between seeing fringe fetishes on a screen, and what real life is like. Erotic comedy.
3. Mistress Theressa's Guide To Carnal Exotica - I was originally going to do this as a warmup series over time, bits here and there, but I decided to put it on the poll to see if people would rather I focus on it full time and get it done much faster, and probably with more illustrations. I've actually already started writing on it, doing the text for entries over the last couple of weeks. Instead of a scientific explanation of the Cottonwine world's monsters and inhuman races, I thought I'd write from the perspective of a woman whose accumulated a lifetime of experience seeking them out specifically for exotic sex. It will feature her description of the monster's and race's sexual behaviors, sensations, risks, dangers, payoffs, and possible pregnancy implications. It's basically a guide for Cottonwine women who want to have sex with inhuman races and monsters while trying not to lose their minds.
4. Taming Bruce - The story of how little Kaori managed to tame big bad Bruce, what Bruce was like before he met her, and how he became what he is, today. Largely a commentary on the veneer of "alpha" nature in some men who try too hard, and the occasional woman who's able to see right through it, and get to the heart of what she wants.
Welp! Beth Leashed is almost in the bag and it's time to decide what the next main adult project is going to be. I've compiled a list of the four things that inspire me the most right now, including the runner up from the last poll I offered. It was so close! Read these choices over and make your decisions, please.
One vote per person this time. Sorry, no hedging. I want to know what you want to see the most. I also want to know how popular something is, even if it loses, so I'm also requesting that you don't refrain from voting even if what you want to vote for doesn't look like it has a chance of winning.
Thanks!

Forgot to mention: Poll ends Sunday at noon.
Next week, Patreon will start asking for age verification when you come to the page of an adult content creator. Apparently, they'll only ask for it once, so once it's done I guess it's something that follows your profile everywhere and you don't have to worry about it again.
Just a heads up.
A sketch of something that may become something later. Or something.
This page caps off the first "chapter" of BGTC, and I've included a .zip attachment to this page of all 28 pages, so anyone seeing this can easily read the whole thing.
The beginning of a series of warmups that I'm giving the full color treatment to. The steering committee tier helped guide me on which themes would dominate her little jaunt.
If you're trying to place where you may have seen her before, she's a more thought-out design of the snow leopard in Kaori's large Queen Bee image.
Beth Leashed goes very well. I'm pleased with the pages and I'm glad I was able to do six more for the comic, despite how they take me longer to do, and despite taking almost a full week off from working. I think some of my other stuff suffered a little as a result, but still.
Attached, you'll find what's done on Beth Leashed so far, pages 1 through 13. I plan to finish this comic this month, so if you're in the $12 Steering Committee tier, get your voting pants on and get ready to help decide what we'll be seeing next.
The backlist now includes The Mind of Brooke Reed as a .zip, since it turned a year old. This .zip and all future full comic .zips will take longer to download since TMBR is the first comic where I started saving the pages as higher resolution files.
Thank you again for your support! I couldn't do this without all of you. Thank you!

I highlighted the three top performing fetish themes from the last poll. I've already got some ideas as a way to flesh out a relatively new character that hasn't made much of an appearance anywhere, using some of these. That should keep me in the warmup business for a little bit.
Thank you all for participating!
Sketched this a bit as a POV angle and got around to coloring it today.
Because someone pointed out the burning need to vote on more than one thing, I'm redoing this poll. Now, there's a setting where I can leave a box unchecked for "one response per" so I'm assuming by leaving that unchecked, you can just roll down the list and pick as much as you want.
So if you've already voted, please vote again on as many things as you want.
There are a lot of places I can go for my next string of sketches and pictures, and I'd like to let you, the steering committee, decide on the sorts of thing they emphasize. In the poll below you'll find a list of fetishes and thematic fetishes that I'm more than comfortable indulging in.
It's important to know, that while you may like an assortment of them, you must choose the one you'd like to see more of, above all else. How these fare in this poll will give me a good idea about what people want to see me emphasize and depict, for a bit.
This isn't about one theme/fetish "winning" over others. It's just to give me an idea of the steering committee's dominant sentiments. If two, three, or four of them are really close in popularity to one another, it'll give me just as good of a picture as if one single fetish/theme pulls far ahead of all others.
I'll keep this poll going through Monday 6-4-2018
Clarification on "General Erotic/Slice of Life". This means general cute women, nudes, casual poses, regular sex, without really an emphasis on other fetishes at all.
I drew this in front of the television after work last night. The main goal was to change the swept-back hair at the top of her head, so it didn't look like a pack of hot dogs, anymore. Then I colored it this morning.
I struggled with this pose more than I should have.
Sorry I haven't posted as many single images as usual. I've been having to spend extra time making sure the Beth pages come out extra nice.
Some sweat porn for today's warmup sketch.
Finished this one up. I still need to practice more pregnant bodies.
A warmup I did today that I'll probably color when I have the time. I'm wondering how I can use color to imply thinner or spaced out fur on the belly and breasts.
Managed to do some sketching before bed last night, and had a window to color them up this afternoon.
This is only the second time I've drawn lactation, to my recollection. The first was with Mary Ann in the comic "The Itch".
Taking almost a week off put a real dent in my work schedule, but I'm back in full swing. In case you were wondering why I've posted fewer extraneous drawings, lately, it's because I'm giving the Beth comic priority during my working hours. I'm also extending those working hours into the evenings to help.
I do have so much more I want to do. I want to draw more of Samantha. I want to draw some more Sissy. But I really want to draw more pictures from Brooke Goes To College, because I have a good way to wrap up the first "chapter".
But I guess I really just wanted to post this because I feel terrible when too many days go by and I haven't updated anything.
Thank you for your continued support!
I'm back home, and noticing all the interesting smells my house has since being gone from it for four days.
Work will resume tomorrow in earnest.
A general announcement that I'm taking a trip out to Arizona starting May 6th (Sunday) and I'll be gone through Thursday the 10th. So, there won't be any updates through that period and I'm not sure if I'll be able to draw much while I'm out there, scouting around. I appreciate your support and your patience of those days.
I need to see more of the country before deciding where to settle!
The Beth comic is shaping up well. There's a level of detail I'm striving for in the sexual pages that I'm starting to achieve, and I'm happy with it. I guess you'll know when you see it, and I hope you like it as well.
Attached, you'll find a .zip containing the first seven pages of Beth Leashed, where Beth wordlessly indulges in her relationship with Nameless Faceless Gingercat Dudeguy.
The backlist of comics is unchanged from last month. The Mind of Brooke Reed will be added next month. I can't believe it's almost been a year since I finished that comic.

A little something else I sketched. More Sissy and Marley.
I got some guff from someone on Deviant Art for drawing dogs sweating, so I decided to warm up today's work with a quick sketch of Brooke sweating.
Actually sketched this in front of the TV a few nights ago, and decided to go ahead and color it on this lazy Saturday.
The guy started out as just some nobody, and then I had this thought of making him an updated version of Marley the porn addict from the old Original Life, who appeared for about three pages. And then I had some idea about him still living with his mother in his early 20s and being forced to leave the house after she cuts off the internet.
But I'm rambling.
18 minutes of me chatting about ongoing scheduling and such, since the launch of Original Life +5. As well as me doing this little follow up to that other Sissy image.
As usual, since you're in the steering committee, if you want to leave feedback, questions, and commentary here, go ahead. I'll give it extra consideration.
Thank you! Video attached.
Last night's sketch in front of the television became today's colored warmup.
Fell sick today, but managed to crank this out, anyway. Started out as just a simple sketch and then I decided to continue it on larger paper so I could draw their entire bodies.
The Mai and Minh comic has concluded, and the first page of Beth Leashed is complete! I'm not going to talk much about the development of the Siamese kitties until everyone's had a chance to read it.
It's good to be drawing Beth again. Thank the Steering Committee tier for voting on her story to be next.
You'll find the complete Mai and Minh's Grand Vacation attached to this post. You'll *also* find the first page of Beth Leashed attached to this post.
The back issue list is the same as last month. The Mind of Brooke Reed will be added to it in June, when it will be a year old.

Breaking ground on Beth’s comic today. Trying to leave as little open space as possible on these pages since it won’t have dialog. (But will probably have sound effects.)
I also attached a .zip file of every Brooke page up until now, in case anyone needs to complete their collection.
When I put the harlequin rabbit girl in the last big Kaori image, I got fascinated with patterning her out. Then a friend of mine suggested the name Freya.
Is up here: https://www.patreon.com/jrnarts
The Original Life +5 comic pages will be free.
I plan to start new pages sometime in April. For now, it'll be a place to do sketches and test pages of the subject matter while I get a good idea on how I want the new pages to look.
I also set a stretch goal, which if met, will cause me to dedicate enough time with the comic, per week, to do regularly scheduled uploads.
A little rulemaking here: The Original Life +5 Patreon is for my SFW material, and I'd like to keep it fairly separate from what goes on, here. Please refrain from sexual, sexualizing, and creepy comments about the subjects of the drawings and comics, there. I know I make a living for drawing adult material, and in large part, it's what I'm known for, but I'm going to be keeping a pretty solid Berlin Wall between what goes on here, and what goes on over there.
Thank you so much!
Thank you all in the steering committee tier who voted on the next project. Looks like it's going to be about Beth, in a polling finish that bounced back and forth right up to the last minute.
This probably means "Two Sides" will have a good shot at being the next one shortly thereafter.
Thank you!
A sketch that I decided to color when I had some time. The ideas are coming along, so I'm going to start producing things for the Original Life Patreon, and probably launching that in a few days time.
Mai and Minh's Grand Vacation is on the quivering verge of completion and the Steering Committee tier ($12) is currently voting on the adult comic to be worked on.
It's been a lot of fun drawing the cats, again.
With Mai and Minh's Grand Vacation on the supple, luscious cusp of completion, it's time to vote on what next full color comic I get a crack at.
I have four options on deck. Read away:
1. The Mission part 2 - The second and probably final installment of The Mission. The plot will detail the reveal of the breeding rituals among the Equines mentioned in the first installment. The tone will be darkly sexual and mystic.
2. Beth Leashed - A largely wordless comic detailing a fetishized Beth home life in contrast with her professional wear as she comes home and essentially becomes a pet. The tone will be about the themes of contrast, the heavy emphasis on fetish play, pet play, Beth's anatomy, her messy orgasms, and her general use.
3. Two Sides of a Coin - A project about Sissy, with a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde theme. It's about the way she desperately maintains her outward propriety, while her dangerous hedonism is like an animal threatening to get out and dominate her personality. The tone will be about contrasts, her sexual depravity, temptation, group sex, anonymous sex, risky sex, and what she does to trigger what her animal side wants.
4. The Gift part 2 - A continuation of Rachel's story, having passed from the ownership of Marcus to his sister, Milly. Seemingly broken on the outside, Rachel carries out her sexual subversion in more subtle ways. The tone will be about sexual excess, a little BDSM, and just an edge of insight into Rachel's true darkness.
If you have any further comments about these projects, or any lingering ideas for anything you might like to see in the future, share them here. This is your privilege! Thank you.
Not sold on the look of the title, but I decided to fill the space at the top with something.
Just going to leave this here.
As per the video says, I'm including the links to my current SFW blog for those who may not know about it.
This started out as just a warmup sketch for the heck of it and turned into a bit more.
I'm still going through all my old backed-up Ask questions from the $12 tiers. Not taking new questions right now, and I don't know when I will.

nb4 "that's not a lot"
I guess this will be finished sometime next week.
I'm still going through all my old backed-up Ask questions from the $12 tiers. Not taking new questions right now, and I don't know when I will.
Well. This took all day.
After a few messages (and an attempt to sort my own characters out for now), I decided to do this chart to get a grip on the various sexual relationships flying around my more actively drawn characters. I omitted people I don't intend to draw again, because they weren't intended to be regulars, or look too much like other characters (such as people mistaking Brice for Beth's one temporary partner Andrew - which is entirely my fault). I didn't include the children of married couples, obviously.
The Brooke sphere is the most chaotic due to the nature of her story. The fact that it's constantly on-going means some things may change and this chart may fall apart completely. Still, there was something cathartic about doing it.
I couldn't find a name I'd given to Sissy's brother. If I had in the past, I've completely forgotten. A pitfall to barely ever drawing him.
This chart may also help the $12 tier determine the characters they want to see more about in the future and share that information with me when the time comes.
Some day I may do an even more detailed write-up, and a Wiki.
The short month caught me off and I only have five new pages for Mai and Minh, instead of the usual six. I plan to finish this one up in the month of March. If you're in the $12 tier, expect to be asked about what sort of thing you'd like to see next, later this month.
You'll find the first fifteen pages of Mai and Minh's comic attached to this post.
The back issue list now includes "The Gift" since it was completed almost exactly one year ago. Time flies!

I'm still going through all my old backed-up Ask questions from the $12 tiers. Not taking new questions right now, and I don't know when I will.
I went into my old archives of Ask questions I hadn't answered, and I started running into multiple questions that could be answered by a single image.
I'll probably start doing these again, clearing out my old Ask archive first, and then taking new ones from the $12+ tier when I announce it. Probably in a few months. It'll take me some time, so I'm not taking new questions, now.
A quick warmup before work today!
A little chatty update, and an apology video about my neglect of Serena, while I worked on this quicky warmup sketch. Video is the attached file.
Any suggestions, questions, and feedback you have, please include it in the comments. It's your privilege in this tier. Thank you!
Warmed up with this. Not sure I'll have time to color it.
Had to just warm up with some Trixie.
I originally posted this journal to Fur Affinity, but for those who don't want to swim through that horrendous page, I'm asking for your input here. Thanks for the indulgence!
I uploaded a monochrome image of Beth recently and someone drew an (understandable) reference to an image drawn by a fantasy artist - an image I'd never seen before. The inference is obvious. The position of the camera, so to speak, is in the same place, and the orientation of the two characters to one another is almost identical. I made a side by side comparison for myself and you can see it here: (nsfw)
http://jaynaylor.com/images6/bethcompare.jpg
The thing is, I used no reference and the image similarities are an honest coincidence. But given their similarities, I'm unsure what I should do. Since it was purely innocent, do I just keep it up? Or do I remove it out of some sense of... deference, since it's been brought to my attention?
Especially interested in feedback from other artists. Were you in a similar situation, what would be your course and why?
I wanted to do something Beth-centric today. I'll color this.
Comic rewards for this month are here! Mai and Minh continue at a good pace. As I've said before, there's some further development for the kitties at the end of this comic. You can find the first ten pages of Mai and Minh's Grand Vacation attached to this post.
The back issue list hasn't changed. Last year, "The Gift" was completed in early March so you'll find it added to the back issue list for next month's rewards.

I decided to sketch up a little reunion page.
Warmed up with this on a lazy Saturday. I may color it, unsure. Without Priscilla watching her every second, Samantha's mating options have expanded.
A comment from a fan a few days ago got me thinking about what Samantha might be like, now. So I did this quick picture of her momming it up. I may color it later.
Put together another video for the Steering Committee tier. This one is just eight minutes long, and I talk about the three main things I'm working on, including the Serena project, and where I'm finding time for it all.
Video attached.
Wrapped this up. Moved the image up a little bit on the canvas. It just seemed more dramatic that way. Also, the ginger cat was kind of a brisk coloring experiment.
The second page in Serena's adventures, here for the Steering Committee. Before I ready more pages for wider exposure, I need your input on what she may do. Suggestions that I find amusing and/or get upvoted a lot will probably find her at least considering them in a comical way. This isn't a poll, so much as a free-range input option.
On another note, I changed first page ever so slightly, to remove the word "benighted" (after finding out what it really means) and changed it to "twisted". You can find both page 1 and 2 attached to this post.
We'll see where things are in about a day or two in comment section, here.
Have fun!
First comic rewards of 2018. Last year was awesome and it's good to start out this one by drawing the siamese cats. For this update, we have the finished first chapter of The Mission, and the first four pages of Mai and Minh's Grand Vacation. As light and funny as it is, it will have some character development for the kitties in the end, so don't miss out.
The first four pages of Mai and Minh are attached to this post.
The first complete chapter of The Mission can be downloaded here:

The back issue list hasn't changed, other than from me folding all of 2016's comics into a single .zip.

Started this up last night and will likely finish it before the day is out. Just for fun.
Last post of 2017! And fittingly, one of my favorite things to work on. Kaori is a thing.
I did this as a sketchy warmup I originally intended to have as her first intro page for the story being guided by the Steering Committee. In the end, I opted for a different image.
I've started working on Serena's illustrated introduction, and this is the first page. I'm showing it to you, the Steering Committee tiers, as I finish the pages. While I'll be sharing it with others in phases. For instance, I'll be sharing the entire introduction at once with the comic tier when I complete the other pages for it.
I'll let you know when there are decisions to be made.
There's nothing too important to discuss here, other than to thank you all for making 2017 a great year. I appreciate your support more than you know!
Just like the last two years, I completed four adult comics in 2017. That's the new normal. Less than when I was running my website catalog, but each comic has a larger page count. I like this because I can spend more time in one story. Brooke Goes to College became a sporadic kind of thing that really caught on. Look for more of that in 2018. I also let the Steering Committee create their own character, in a way, in the latter part of the year. Look forward to seeing where she ends up, next year. Ground is broken on the new Mai and Minh story that was voted to be next, and you can look forward to the first few pages of that, along with the wrapping up of the first chapter of The Mission, for the first big comic update on January 5th.
I hope you all have a good holiday season, and thank you.
It would have to come down to this before I start creating stories for Serena to get involved in.
As I said in the video I posted, you're going to have to decide whether the male furries in her world have normal human-ish junk, or animalistic junk. I thought about a world where the people could have kinda both, but it would seem awfully implausible, arbitrary, and strange. So it's going to be an either-or proposition. It would apply to all races/breeds.
Pretty straightforward. Poll ends in 24 hours.
Found the time to wrap this up with some color, today.
Spent a lazy Sunday putting this together as a bit of angle and perspective practice. I'll be coloring it soon.
I haven't forgotten about her or her comic, and I'll be delving back into it shortly!
A 15 minute video where I explain how I compiled the current information from polls, and what that all means for the character, and where we will go from here. It sort of just encapsulates my thoughts on the matter. It's not mandatory viewing for those shaping this character, but it will contain information on what you can look forward to.
Video attached.
Now that we've determined her standard of living (middle class, raised poor), I have better ideas on how to break down her employment options when we meet her. This will help with determining her story start. Pretty straightforward!
I've chosen jobs that could reasonably offer a middle-ish class living to a 27 year old woman. I stayed away from employment options that would imply a required level of sexual experience, such as call girl (not that she can't become one if you make her).
You're not voting on what you want her to do, or become. You're voting on what she does for a living the moment we meet her. She's not locked in on this for the rest of her life.
1. Bartender - Maybe not high middle class, but bartending in a capacity where tips keep her comfortable with some leftover cash, and social opportunities are aplenty. She may have other, yet unfulfilled, aspirations. She could live almost anywhere.
2. Fine Artist - Painting and/or sculpting at a level where she's able to sell pieces and acquire clients to the degree that she's comfortably middle class. She probably lives in a the heart of a city with a robust art culture. Her apartment is probably festooned with canvasses and supplies.
3. Corporate Artist - Breaking into the stability of the corporate world on a lower level, she does digital and commercial art and/or animation for a production studio, advertising, or anything that requires in house design. She probably lives in or near a major city, and works in an office.
4. Freelance Illustrator - Working digitally and/or otherwise, she's able to scrape up enough clientele to make a middle class living. These days, she probably does most of her work on the computer. She works at home and could live anywhere.
5. Bike Courier - Dashing from place to place through the day and keeping her legs in shape at the same time. She's in and out of corporate offices with packages, tight shorts, and a dorky helmet. She lives in a city that's crowded enough to justify what she does, and probably owns a bicycle that Jay will hate drawing.
6. Programmer/ IT - Working for a company that produces digital products, like software in some capacity that requires knowledge of computer languages and networks. She probably lives in or near a city.
7. Fashion Sales - She works at a boutique shop selling clothing to women who are wealthier than she is. She probably lives in a city with enough of a fashion culture to allow this. She may have other aspirations.
8. Thief - A small time thief, a pickpocket, a skilled shoplifter playing a constant cat and mouse game with loss prevention agents. She does just enough to live middle class, without going large enough to draw undue attention. She could live in any sized city, and she probably knows a fence.
9. Small Drug Dealer - Using connections to sell and distribute through the mail or on the street, mostly unauthorized marijuana, pills, and LSD. She probably lives in a city or a suburb.
10. Auto Mechanic - She works on cars and gets nice and greasy. She's mechanically inclined and can probably figure out and fix other machinery as well, like boats and air conditioners. She could live anywhere.
11. Gamer - She makes enough money playing video games on streaming services, with a moderately popular channel. She could live anywhere.
12. Policewoman - She wears a uniform and carries a gun and everything. She could live anywhere.
13. Maid - She works for a company that books her to clean clients' houses, because people are too busy to do it for themselves. Social opportunities are aplenty. She may have other employment aspirations. She probably lives in a suburb or city.
14. Nurse/Medical - At a hospital or a clinic, sometimes working long hours as the job demands, and wearing weirdly colored scrubs. Opportunity to confront every shred of physical weirdness imaginable. She probably lives in a suburb or city.
15. Photographer - She's moderately successful as a photographer, working freelance, sporting events, weddings, and anything she can sell. Her camera is probably the most expensive thing she owns besides her car. She probably lives in a city and it's possible she travels frequently.
Poll ends in 24 hours. Have fun!
Another poll we have to get out of the way, which will affect how Serena's story starts off, and the kind of sexual person she is when we first meet her. You need to rate her level of sexual experience to help me get a grasp of her personality and what kind of arc she will go on.
Remember, she's 27 years old. You're not voting on what she will be doing or how you want her to "end up". You're voting on what she's already done when we meet her. None of this determines what she's locked in on for the rest of her life.
1. Virginal Experience - There's been some fooling around here and there, maybe a boyfriend or two. Not necessarily a full on virgin, but almost practically so, with maybe only one tentative sexual experiment in her past. This start will be good for journeys of discovery and awakening, and realizing sexual sides of the character. Think of it as almost a blank slate.
2. Repressed Experience - Unlike ordinary virginal experience, for whatever reason, she has few real sexual encounters due to deep psychological repressions heaped on her in the past. Likely factors are guilt, strict upbringing, familial "pride", or religiosity. Stories that start from here will very likely revolve around overcoming these blocks and being able to express an array of repressed fantasies and urges.
3. Average Experience - Relatively normal experiences growing up, boyfriends come and go, virginity lost in the late teens, more relationships as a young adult, with normal healthy sex. This start will be good for stories that question relationship choices, and confront unique new sexual partners and experiences.
4. One-Relationship Experience - She's had one long term relationship in her life, perhaps with her high school sweetheart, perhaps with her boyfriend from college. It's either been coasting on inertia ever since, or has recently ended in some way, with her ex still around in some capacity. She's experienced sexually, but not in dating and meeting new people. Stories that start this way will revolve around these issues of new dating, inexperience, awkwardness, and lingering relationship remnants.
5. Heavy Experience - Relatively heavy levels of sexual openness and acting out in her life. She may gravitate toward transient relationships with men who aren't the most stable, and she may maintain a batting order of sex buddies outside of relationships. She's probably tried the moderate kinks you'd see in your average porno, "just to see." This level of experience usually comes with psychologies: intimacy and compulsivity issues. This start is good for characters who dive right into sexual adventures, with arcs that revolve around these encounters, and her (and others') attitudes toward them.
6. Skewed Experience - Not necessarily a heavy experience (though it could be), but an early experience with a taboo or unorthodox relationship that skews her desires. This can manifest as a preference for men far outside of her peer group, crushes on relatives, seeking anonymous sex, boundary issues, etc. To have a character that revolves around any drive like this would require an additional poll to determine her earlier skewing experience and her current preference.
7. Fetishy Experience - Her sexual experience is full on into the fetishistic realm, already. She actively seeks out, or is in, kinky, fetish-oriented relationships. BDSM clubs, role play environments, the full immersion into the worlds of master/slave relationships, safewords, strap-ons, and red bottoms. Starts like this are similar to the "heavy experiences" starts, with stories that revolve around her and others' attitudes towards these kinds of encounters, and perhaps the contrast it has with the normal world.
8. Sex Addict - A full compulsive disorder where she's just about unable to help herself every time she sees the chance to get laid. As an attractive young lady, she finds tempting men with casual sex very easy, fueling her impulse to fill her anxious needs. She may engage in sex with strangers, and/or regular partners. Stories starting here will likely revolve around the contrast of compulsive, casual sex, with normal society, and the inability to have healthy relationships.
This turned into a more detailed poll that I intended, but I had fun doing these write ups. It was great exercise.
Poll ends in 24 hours. Have fun!
It's time for piercing options. Several things to note:
I encourage you to download and view the attached image file at full size so you can see the options up close.
To make things simple for us and condense the choices, I went with a "cascade" kind of options list. My justification is that the piercing schemes get progressively more aggressive and bold, and that if she has her nipples or clitoral hood pierced, she probably also has her ears pierced. At the very least, people who want her nipples and/or clit pierced, probably don't mind that she also has the other things pierced that come with that option. I simply don't have the bandwidth to offer every conceivable permutation of piercing arrangements. And ultimately, whether her hood piercing is vertical of horizontal is kind of splitting hairs when it comes to what it says about the character, overall.
On jewelry color, I think silver goes better with her hair color, than gold. If you disagree, we can discuss it, but most importantly:
You're not voting on exactly the types of rings, studs, and hoops I may have drawn here. You're specifically voting on the holes she's had placed in her body. The actual piercing jewelry can be changed and varied, the way people change clothing.
Poll ends in 24 hours. Enjoy!
Warmed up with this quickie of the Steering Committee's character creation, still in progress. I'm going to use this particular sketch to allow the committee to vote on her optional piercing arrangements (or none), as I festoon the drawing with metal.
It looks like the name "Serena" is winning pretty confidently in the name department. I like it, as well. So we'll go along with that. It sounds fitting for a lioness without being so exotic that it would estrange her from a contemporary setting.
In this poll, you're going to be determining her class status at her age of 27. I originally was going to do this whole write-up where I listed all the jobs she could have, but the choices ended up SO numerous, so I'm going to whittle it down to her general economic status for now. In polls like this, don't think about what makes the "happiest" circumstance, but think about what makes for the most interesting stories in your mind.
1. Poor and raised poor - She's poor but surviving, and she comes from a family that is poor, as well. She probably only has a high school education.
2. Poor and raised middle class - She's come from a comfortable middle class family, but she's trying to make it on her own, starting at the lower end of the economic spectrum without relying on much support from home.
3. Poor and raised wealthy - She grew up with a very comfortable lifestyle, but for whatever reason, she's estranged from her family support in order to make it on her own, starting out at the low end.
4. Middle class and raised poor - She's risen above her upbringing and she's doing better than her parents.
5. Middle class and raised middle class - She's pretty much continuing how she grew up. Maybe someday she'll do better than her parents, but not right now.
6. Middle class and raised wealthy - She's making it on her own, not quite as well as her parents, but she's still young.
7. Wealthy and raised poor - Amazing opportunities and ambition have caused her to grab life by the nuts and find the key to be on her way to wealth, beyond anything she was raised with.
8. Wealthy and raised middle class - On her way to doing much better than her parents, due to her field and the opportunities she's exploited.
9. Wealthy and raised wealthy - Born to comfort, and at her age, she's happy to rely on it as a safety net so she doesn't have to worry about money, giving her greater flexibility in what she wants to do, and free time.
Poll ends in 24 hours!
Finished this up before bed, tonight. This character was created by polling the Steering Committee tier ($12) for her physical nature prior to allowing them to determine her adventures.
My computer shifted into night shift mode, so the screen tilted far away from the blue spectrum while I was shading, so as far as I can tell, she looks fine.
Over the past week and a few days, I've been working with the Steering Committee ($12+), taking polls, feedback, and input, and letting them design their own character for future adventures to be determined by them. So far, this is what they've collectively envisioned, physically, with colors to follow when I have the time.
Right now they're determining a name for her, and will begin the process of determining other personality and fashion elements, this week. I want to do a more thorough character sheet of her once everything's set in stone and she's ready to be in stories.
It's time for you, in the steering committee, to determine the name of this lioness. This isn't a poll, but just a place to collect your suggestions in the comments, and see how they're "liked" or reciprocated.
If you like someone's suggestion, please click the heart on their comment, so I get a good idea of what is popular.
If you have multiple suggestions, please make it easy on me and just post the one you like the most. Don't just spam names. Don't include multiple name suggestions in one comment, because I'll have no idea which one people are backing up when they click the heart.
Feel free to suggest just a first name, or a first and last name. I have plenty of characters that just have their first names revealed, so that's valid.
If we get multiple suggestions that are ties or near-ties, we may do a run-off poll of those popular names.
Have fun!
Oh, I'm not done with you humps, yet. You have more polls to fill! Right now I'm getting the ones that don't require accompanying art, while I work on main projects.
How sexuality is going to work isn't where one choice wins and cancels out all the others. It'll be handled more like how her age was handled, if you saw my video about how I arranged that information. Different choices will "tug" the character's final disposition in those directions. The degree of her straightness, gayness or bisexuality is up to your collective determinations.
1. Hard Straight - Only interested in dude men.
2. Bisexual, Male Biased - Interested in dudemen, mainly, but sometimes women, or certain women, sometimes in a sexual sometimes way.
3. Bisexual, Female Biased - Mainly interested in women, but men, or certain men, are still sexy to her in a way that warrants her interest.
4. Hard Lesbian - Only interested in her own sex.
Polling ends in 24 hours.
This idea just popped into my mind a bit ago and I spent a lazy Sunday doing it.
This is going to be the last physical poll before we start into the fashion, personality, and setting detail, to get her story going.
No full 70s style Lynne bush option, because I'm fairly certain it wouldn't get far, and having it be blue would look even more strange.
Image file attached for downloading and viewing convenience. Poll ends in 24 hours.
Time to pick the primary hair color. Primary being the operative term, not necessarily "natural". After this, I may conduct a poll with different physical options, just to finalize things, or keep them as they are. We'll start covering "fashion" later on, as the character's personality comes into focus. I consider things like piercings and tattoos to be fashion. I don't like tattoos on furries, but if you demand it, we'll do it.
This image has been attached to the post for easy downloading and viewing at full size. Polling closes in 24 hours.
Have fun!
Here are the results of the last three polls I had to count up on my own. I used the email notifications that came in as the comments were given, to count these up. Ignore the big line on the left cutting through everything. My scanner kind of sucks.
I tested poll creation this morning, and apparently it seems to be working fine, so hopefully any future polling options will be done through Patreon's system, which requires less attention from me.
Look forward to the hair color poll, coming soon, hopefully today.
Hello! Sorry for being rather quiet this week. I've been bombarding the Steering Committee tier ($12+) with polls for the character that they're going to be creating. I'll be sharing sketches and images of the results with everybody once it gets set.
In other news, the steering committee has also decided that the next adult comic project will be Mai and Minh's Grand Vacation. And by no small margin! So, look for the completion of the first chapter of The Mission, and then the beginning of Mai and Minh's next story, for next month's comic rewards.
Thank you all! I promise next week's updates will be more frequent.
I tried to create more polls today for the steering committee character creation, but on the interface, in multiple browsers, when I went to type in a new field, it wouldn't insert the names. Instead it would create new fields with the letters I was trying to type in the first field. Everything was working fine up until yesterday. I'll have to wait until this resolves before we can continue creating this character.
I said you guys would be busy with polls, didn't I? The last pages of the first installment of The Mission will be completed in December, so I'm going to let you determine the project that gets started after that.
I have four options on deck:
1. The Mission part 2 - The option to jump right in with the second (and probably final) installment of The Mission. The plot will detail the reveal of the breeding rituals among the Equine mentioned in the first part. The tone will be darkly sexual and mystic.
2. Beth Leashed - A largely wordless comic detailing a fetishized Beth home life in contrast with her professional wear as she comes home and essentially becomes a pet. The tone will be about the themes of contrast, the heavy emphasis on fetish play, pet play, Beth's anatomy, her messy orgasms, and her general use.
3. The Animal Inside (working title) - A project about Sissy, with a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde theme. It's about the way she desperately maintains her outward propriety, while her dangerous hedonism is like an animal threatening to get out and dominate her personality. The tone will be about contrasts, her sexual depravity, temptation, group sex, anonymous sex, risky sex, and what she does to trigger what her animal side wants.
4. Mai and Minh's Grand Vacation - Mai and Minh manage to squeeze a vacation out of Priscilla, and this will be a chronicle of what they're like when not working on her estate. The tone will be about having fun, hooking up, cute sex, and saucy cats chasing what they want.
For the sake of continuity, The Mission part 2 will continue in black and white, while the other three options will be done in color as usual.
The Mission chugs along. My life is basically anthro horses, elves, and gambisons, these days. The first installment of The Mission is *almost* done. I wanted to get it done in November, but alas, I didn't want to hurry it. But there's just a couple of pages left to do to end it before the next big installment. Before then, the steering committee tier ($12+) will get to vote on the very next comic project. If you're in this tier, you're going to be pretty busy with polls this month!

Thank you all again!
I know not everyone downloads the watches the videos, but since this is a fairly optional kind of thing, I figured a video would be a faster way to explain my process for aggregating this information and using it to shape the Steering Committee's character.
It's about 20 minutes long, since I like to be wordy.
As I explained toward the end, I'm going to be establishing some polls for you to take part in which will further flesh out this character's physicality, which I hope to have complete by the end of the week. So look forward to evolving art of her in the next few days.
The period for aggregating the data on feature preferences has ended. I'm going to work on collating it a bit and probably make a video showing my results and processes for determining the character's nature, soon.
Thank you all for your input!
This project was mentioned in the prior post to the public. You, in the steering committee tier, have the privilege of participating in the design of this character and his or her subsequent adventures. The guidelines are as follows:
- This entry is *ONLY* to determine the physical traits of the character, not their name, history, or whatever. That will come later. The fields for input in this entry are listed further down.
- The character is *not* constrained to inhabiting one of my created universes. The kind of world/setting the character inhabits will be decided by the tier after the physical characteristics.
- Existing species/races only. Mixed breeds/races are fine, but no hybrid species (no cat-dogs, folfs, etc).
- Reasonably natural-like color patterns only. Don't make me cry.
As I receive input, I will keep a tally of what kind of species and types people want to see. If I see repeated calls in a certain direction, if I see seconded opinions, thirded, lots of "likes" indicated by hearts below comments, I will take note.
If you are not in a creative mindset, but still want to participate, do so by clicking the hearts on comments containing things you like and agree with. This will help me determine the direction you want to go. If you only like one aspect of what is mentioned in that comment, just comment that you like that one aspect. I'll make a note of it.
Your comments/input may be as simple, or as detailed as you want. But bear in mind, this entry is for physical traits only. If you have any ideas for names and backgrounds, keep them to yourself until it is time. Divulging these things now will just create clutter.
Fields for Input:
1. Gender: The gender of the main character we'll be following, male/female/trans/whatnot.
2. Race/Species/Breed: Anthro races should be based on existing animals/breeds. The more specific the better. Instead of saying "dog" say "German Shepard" for example. Choosing excessively exotic/unheard of species may work against you if people don't know what you mean. Feel free to provide additional color detail and examples here, too. *NO FAN-MADE RACES AND NO COPYRIGHTED RACES PLEASE* That's right. No Sergals. No Skiltaire. No Kzinti.
3. General Age: Just a general age range of the character, 18 an over.
4. Body Type: Anthro-humanoid only. No ferals. Give as many details and examples as you want. Things like "slim" and "athletic" are fine. But even better would be "slim and athletic" or "curvy and athletic" or "curvy and soft", for example. Don't use overly subjective terms like "average". I'm going to take "average" to mean average by my standards, which may not be yours.
5. Additional Physical Nuances (optional): Anything else relating to the character's physical characteristics that don't quite fit into the other fields. Things like exceptional shortness or tallness, nipple circumference, missing fingers, whatever.
Additionally, even if you see a prevailing tide in one direction (say, everyone seems to want to see a female main character), and you want another direction, offer it, and offer a reason why. You may get enough support/likes/seconds to be considered.
Moreover, the physical traits that are decided WILL INFLUENCE the range of personality options available in the next round. For instance, if it's decided the character is physically fit or even muscular, I can't offer a slacker-type couch potato personality to match with them. Keep this in mind.
Also, if your character input becomes very popular and much or most of it goes into the design of the character, don't become "attached" to the character as if they were yours. Additional rounds of voting may see them having a personality, setting, and encounters you never envisioned. This is a group effort.
I will stop considering input on this entry after two days. On Monday, December 4th 2017, at 1800 (6pm) Eastern US time, I will stop considering input. Don't feel hurried to get something in. You have time.
Have fun!
Longest title ever. But what is this about? Let's start from the beginning.
I'm always on a quest to increase the reward value of the $12 tier, giving them greater consideration on their input, voting on new projects, and access to videos. It recently came up that they can have a greater say in some things they'd like to see "happen" in stories. I declined this because I wanted to maintain full control of my own creations.
But then I thought: What if the Steering Committee had its own collective creation?
Then I thought this might lead to a fun, ongoing experimental project, which might entertain me as much as it does everyone else, in allowing the $12 tier to design a main character, decide on their personality and setting, and go on an adventure guided by a tally of their comments.
Soon, very soon, I'm going to make a post to the steering committee tier, outlining the initial character creation guidelines and allowing them to begin to shape this new erotic hero. The character itself, when done, will probably be shared with all tiers, while the story adventure, when it kicks off, will be shared with the comic reward tiers ($6+).
Thank you, and let's hope this experiment bears interesting fruit.
Aron and Hilde. All back rubs end up this way. I'll color this soon.
I've been doing fewer "Ask" images in my spare time because I've had a little flurry of my own ideas, lately. I tend to look at Asks when I can't think of anything else to warm up with, or just draw for fun.
This one is a little long, coming in just a hair over 30 minutes. I spend the first part talking about comics and characters, and then I go on a long jag about video games.
Found the time to finish this up. I also made a video while I was working on it, for the $12 steering committee tier, where I talked about this and that. I'll be posting that soon.
Started out as a warmup test for this kind of pose, and it turned out well enough that I shaded it and intend to color it.
Ask is something I did for the $12 tier a long time ago and I'm going through the old questions, still. So please don't ask new questions.
Finished this up before getting my holiday into swing (basically doing nothing).
This was just going to be a simple warmup and it kind of grew. A little upset with how much of Mai's head is cut off by the end of the page, but oh well. I'll still color this when I get the chance.
Wrapped this up for the weekend. Sometimes you just need to step back and do something cute.
I've had this idea about what Mai and Minh might be like outside of their duties at Priscilla's estate. I'm thinking of offering it as a possible comic idea to the steering committee tier in the future.
I'll add color to this in time.
Sorry to drag this reveal out even further. Well, only kind of sorry. But necessary.

This video is about 21 minutes long, and I talk more about The Mission, and I also go into detail about Patreon's stance of pornography in a way that I hope clarifies some things. As usual, as the $12 tier, you have my ear more than usual, and if you have anything you want me to address either in comments or clarify in future videos, please let me know here. Thanks!
Video is an attached mp4.

Also, I've started skipping over all the very vague, unspecific questions like "How've you been?" directed at specific characters.
I haven't forgotten about Brooke! It's hard for me to believe that, purely in my spare time, I've done 15 pages of a comic that revolves around how many moments I can center around butt-centric images.
Comics push on. I'm continuing with The Mission, and I've decided to host the pages on my site as .zip files, similar to how I do back issues, instead of attaching the .zips for this comic directly to Patreon entries. I'm not having things go quickly in this comic. I'm trying to pace it out a bit, and really set in the conflict in the main character. I'm not sure how long this comic will be, but it may take more than one installment. You can find the finished pages for The Mission here:

The back issues for this month haven't changed. "The Itch" will be available as a back issue in December's update, since it was completed in late November of 2016.

Thank you all again for another great month!
Spent a few days of after-hour work sort of pulling this one together a little. Just felt like drawing a fantasy horse. Her hair, and some of her garments are vaguely Aloy inspired.
Ask is something I put together to give the $12 tiers more participation. Right now I've deleted the original "Ask" entry where they can ask questions, in order to let me catch up with the ever-accumulating questions already there. When I get to a good point, I'll put up another Ask entry for the $12 tier and collect more.
Started off Saturday by coloring a sketch of Kaori. I had some clever text that she was going to be saying, but it didn't quite fit the picture once I put it in.

Getting back into more work videos for the steering committee tier! This time I talk about my conclusion on what to do about The Mission, what happened to that particular post, and why there's a need for clarification and what *kind* of clarification is needed. It's a tale! And it's 15 minutes long.
Also, as a warning here: Please don't use the comment section to argue with each other, or petulantly cuss and fuss about Patreon's policies. We can discuss concerns rationally.
Thank you!

Found the time to wrap this one up! I like how simple it is.
Probably got caught in the rain. I'll color this up when I have the time.

Set aside my birthday to work on this. Haven't drawn Mai and Minh in a good while.
This is a gift piece I started doing for a couple that I'm good friends with, as they have their first baby. She's fun to draw. He's kind of... a dragon.
Worked this up today and shaded it. I'll get it colored up as I have the time.
Comic rewards plunge ahead! What a harsh month. September's hurricane really crimped my time, but I managed to finish up The Awakening and I have the first four pages of The Mission to share. The Mission was originally going to be a comic I shared pages from sporadically like Brooke Goes To College, but it ended up being larger than that, and I didn't want to stop doing Brooke pages. The first two pages of The Mission were posted a while ago. I'm framing it as a traditional fantasy quest/party style thing, at least initially. I'm debating making encyclopedic color entries describing the areas and cultures relevant to the story in this world, but I'm also wondering if that would detract or mess with pacing. ANYWAY...
You'll find the .zip files of the completed "The Awakening" comic attached, as well as the beginnings of "The Mission".
The back issue list is unchanged from last month. The Itch will be available as a back issue in December, since the comic was completed in late November of 2016. Wow, time flies!

I'm not sure where the initial premises of the question came from since they're false. But oh well.
Ask is something I put together to give the $12 tiers participation. Those in the tier can ask my characters questions in this post here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/ask-steering-11767320 and I will try to illustrate it as a warmup, like so. There are always so many, there is no chance I will get to any new questions, soon.
Some characters just settle down. This is what happens when you ask me what they're up to.

Wrapped this one up before the weekend. It's always good to get back to pictures I just want to do for fun.
Worked this up for fun, accenting the size difference between Audrey and Mary. I'm going to color this as I have time.
Took me a while to come up with a remotely clever answer to this.

I thought I'd whip this up real fast for no particular reason.
I'm noticing a weird consistency issue with color saturation, which is especially noticeable as I put lots of panda oranges in "The Awakening". At first, I noticed Patreon over-saturating my colors when I uploaded them, but then I realized that was just happening in the Chrome web browser, and not others. Odd. Now, while using a prior page to pull the color for Lynne, and apply it to the new page, it does this in photoshop, *sometimes*, not all the time.
You can see it up top. The orange to the right is what I used with the dropper to pull the color and apply it to the new page on the left. You can see how much more saturated it is, despite how it's supposed to be the exact same.
Not a huuuuuge deal, but I'm not sure why it's going on. If any of you are artists and you've had an issue with this, and know a little bit more about it, let me know. But otherwise, if you notice variable color saturation and vividness in the comic pages, for now, you know where it's coming from. For the future, I can try to manually edit the saturation for consistency, but that begs the question as to whether it's showing up the same for everyone else, or if it's just me.
Aaaanyway... back to work.

I'm putting this notice here because I keep getting asked about it, the older the original post gets.
It'd been a while since I made one of these pages and I forgot that I was outlining the text fields with black lines, for greater contrast, since there is no color on the page. When I first posted this, there weren't any outlines.
Oops.
Anyway, if you want to keep your collection consistent, feel free to download this one.
The storm is gone and things are fine. I have power and water at my house and I'm working hard to clean up and get everything back to normal as soon as possible.
The hurricane isn't hitting very hard, here. Still got power and all other services. I managed to finish this gift picture I did for Genwyn and his girlfriend, who are good folks. For those wondering, while Genwyn is a red panda in my universe, in inferior universes, he is a girl-butted pony thing guy.
Hoping with things being fairly tame, I'll be back at my place sometime tomorrow and ready to work normally by Tuesday.
Every time I think I'm going to get back on a normal production schedule, shit like this keeps happening. Welp.
If it remains an apocalyptic prediction, I'll be fleeing to Georgia. The good news is, because my work computer is a laptop, I should still be able to keep in touch and maybe do a little work. But for now I have to prepare for this Biblical storm. But let's hope it doesn't end up so bad.
Thank you all.
The Awakening moves on. I was only able to put together 5 new color pages instead of the usual 6, because of my move to a new place. Nonetheless, things are going as planned, and unless hurricanes interrupt me, I should be able to finish this comic in September.
You'll find pages 1-17 attached to this post.
The back issue list remains the same this month, and will be like this until December. Everything that's a year old or more is available as a back issue. Enjoy!

It's been a long time since I stayed up late working on something. Kaori keeps taking shape, and I'll be coloring this little intro sheet as soon as I can.
Testing out a new microphone more than anything, with this short video, and discussing a few comments I received in my last post to the steering committee tier.
Video attached.
Since my move, I don't have access to my former room mate's microphone, and when I tried to make another video for the $12+ tiers (you guys), the sound was so terrible in my new studio, that I couldn't share it.
So, I went ahead and ordered one for myself from Amazon. When it arrives, I'll start making vids again.
Here's the gist of what I covered in the vid:
Due to my move, I'm only going to to have five new completed pages in The Awakening, instead of six, like normal. The comic will be completed in September and I'll probably move straight into working on the Cottonwine story I have in mind, and have already started. This comic will be more long-form and as a result, I'm going to leave it black and white, with the goal to do far more pages per month than six (but still packed with as much drippy detail as possible). The coloring really does take a lot of time. Especially raccoons and pandas. I'll be going back to color for other features, though. It won't be a permanent move. I just want to see how quickly I get good pages out like this.
I'm also open to hearing from you about any other services the steering committee tier would love. Patreon has a livestream feature which is in beta right now, and I'm thinking of giving it a shot. I don't draw digitally, very often, but we'll see.
As usual, if you have any comments, feedback, and suggestions, voice them here. It's your privilege as a member of this tier.
Thank you!
Colored this up. The male is based on the hyena from the male archetype sketches I did a billion years ago (last month, I think, actually).
I wanted to spend the rest of this month just focusing like a laser on the Lynne comic, since my move cut into my production time a lot. But I felt like getting away for a bit and doing this one, anyway.
Still working on Kaori in bits and pieces. I really just wanted to help get down her colors and then this happened. So, this'll be colored.
Still finding time to work on things like this, while the bulk of my time is dedicated to catching back up on the the Charles/Lynne comic since my move.
This cat showed up while I was working on the new house a bit, and made friends with my cat, Spartacus, through the glass. The orange cat has only half a tail.
Things are going well. Tomorrow, I hope to get in some work. I'm going to plunge right back into the Ask illustrations, and then full on into the Charles comic, as well as some prelim work on future black and white Brooke pages.
So, I hope to be posting work to patrons again, tomorrow!
Things are coming along on schedule. I hope to have this office up and rolling by the end of the day.
Yes, I prefer to face into a room, instead of facing the walls. (I also prefer to face the television while I work sometimes).
This picture of my captain's chair heralds an update about my moving plans. I've put the gas pedal to the floor on it and it's my primary focus, right now. My planned timeline is:
By the middle of next week (around the 15th or 16th) to have my office/studio completely settled in and ready for working in. Therefor, I expect to be back into the full-ish swing of production by around that time.
I will keep you appraised. And I thank you all for your patience. Every one of you here is contributing to ensure this place keeps humming, and I always feel bad when I can't get to my drawing table to do my part. But I'll make it up to you, I promise!
Finished this up. Patreon did a number oversaturating the colors, as usual, but if you download the attachment, it should be fine.
Quick announcement about August, heralded by this line work of Trixie and Beth. I'm in the midst of moving things to a new house, and it's taking up a bit of extra time during my days. I'm working hard so it doesn't cut too deeply into my productivity, but it may. I may get fewer drawings done this month, and maybe a few less comic pages, but I'm going to do my best to make sure this feels smooth.
Thanks for your patience!
The Awakening continues, and I'm pleased with its progress and how it's emerging. I'm not even minding how much time it takes to color red pandas, right now.
You'll find pages 1-12 attached in a zip file to this post.
The back issues! "Aron" is now a year old. Wow, time really flies. With that, Aron's been added to the list of available back issues to the comic tiers, at the end of the back issue list. Aron is the first adult color comic that went past the 20 page mark.

I accidentally set this to the $1 tiers when I'm supposed to be reserving these for the $6 tiers. But I'm going to leave it here, anyway, as a glimpse.
Here are links to the pages in question if you're curious.
I suppose these kinds of replies may be inevitable, as long as I've decided to try my best to illustrate answers to every question I get, this time around, no matter how unserious. :3
Decided to go back to Mike, or Mikey, or now Michael for this warmup.
The thick plottens.
I've also attached the first eight pages of Brooke Goes to College, as a .zip file, for those who are new to the $6+ comic tiers.
Decided to use some warmup time to fiddle with her colors. Not set on them.
I realize this is very similar to a facesitting image of Lynne from the "Ask" series a bit ago, but I just thought it seemed too appropriate not to illustrate for this warmup.
"Do you need yet another character, Jay?"
"Yes, Other Jay, I always need new characters."
Found the time to finish this up a bit earlier than I thought! Patreon may over-saturate the colors a bit, but downloading the attached version should produce the proper results.
The "Ask" series is garnering a lot of people asking me how they ask their questions. It was a post I made about a month ago to the $12+ tiers (the steering committee), giving them a bit more interaction. I think that entry has 51 questions in the comments section, last I checked, but I've only gotten around to doing about 11 or so since. So, if you're in that tier and you want to go back and find that entry to ask a question, bear in mind that there won't be any instantaneous answers.
I realize I'll probably have to repost this in another month or so.
Coming along. I probably won't finish up the colors for this until sometime next week.
I have no idea who these characters are, but this is something I wanted to draw and color in my spare time.
Some quick young male archetypes that I doodled up after work tonight. I may have to call on them in the future.
Wanted to do this, as I get the inspiration to continue Brooke's tale in black and white. I'd like to treat it as a new kind of webcomic.
The black and white Cottonwine story, I realize, would just drag in this format, since the pages would drip forth at a pace that wouldn't be conducive to the kind of story being told. A regular project is more proper, for it. I may color it and do it as a proper project, as a result.
A little something I worked on today to get back into the swing of work after the holiday.
"The Awakening" is under way, and the first six pages introduce the changes Charles is going through and acting out on. You can find the first six pages in the .zip file attachment to this post!
The back issue list is the same as last month. "Aron" will be on the back issue list in August, since that's when the comic was completed, and then it'll be a year old.
Thanks for all the support! You're all great.

As someone who is more interested in who I'm with than what we're doing, I can relate.
June has come and gone. As usual, I'll be posting the adult comic work completed last month on the 5th of this month.
It's been fun working on Lynne's (Charles'?) comic this month. I decided not to skimp around with the build up and just let it kind of come out naturally. Because of Patreon, I'm no longer in a hurry to get a comic done as quickly as possible, to get paid. But the trade off is, I sometimes feel like I have to skimp on establishing the scenes, so I can have straight-up sex to show off every month. But really, my ultimate, long-term goal for these projects, is to have them be like my webcomics, with character interaction and all, but with sexually explicit themes and moments.
Another thing I should address is, yes, Lynne has (the furry version of) pubic hair and such. I'm of the school where it looks good on some people and it's neither here nor there when it comes to my attraction to them. I don't want all my characters to just kinda be different version of the same kind of person, into the same things, with the same manner no matter what, because that's what I like the best. So, there'll be variety. If it turns you off too much, just bear with until the next project and you'll probably be happier. I want to depict these kinds of... bohemian... characters sometimes. Let me do so.
Thanks for another great month! You are the best fans.
-Jay
I brought back the cute little Ask things for the $12 steering committee tiers, to spur neat little ideas for warmups and such. I'm keeping the numerical order in line for the Ask series I did last year.
If you're in the $12 tier, you can ask any of my major recurring characters a question in the entry where I ask for them, and I may illustrate an answer.
A little warmup for today. Maybe I'll just keep sketching these two until more ideas come into my mind.
Put the colors up on this one in some spare time. I'd like to come up with a new story about them.
Bodies and expressions being covered in video conversation for all of you on the steering committee tiers. The video is just a hair over fifteen minutes, and it mostly covers drawing bodies as tangible shapes that come together properly for an erotic context, as well as the expressions bestowed on those characters in the throes of sex.
The video is attached to this post for download.
This is a warmup of Red and that Dalmatian dude whose name I forget, that I'm going to be using for my next Erotic Philosophy video about bodies and expression. Work videos are available to the $12 steering committee tiers.
Will probably have this video up sometime tomorrow.
A little after-work sketch for today. Getting back into shooting sports after twelve years has been an experience.
Quick sketches of this elf I did today. I was working on that black and white Cottonwine comic that I keep forgetting to update, when I got to the point where this character should appear, and I realized I hadn't designed her yet.
A warmup to illustrate a little bit more between Charles and Lynne. The way the poll is going with the steering committee tier, this will probably be the theme of the next adult comic.
The Mind of Brooke Reed is complete, and I'm pleased with it. She has her own little cast revolving around her, and I want to keep visiting them in various forms from here on.
Judging from the current polling with the steering committee tier, it looks like we're going to get a story about Charles and Lynne for the next major adult project. I feel rather masochistic lining up two female leads in a row who take so much extra time to color, but that's my lot in life.
The entire Mind of Brooke Reed comic is available as a .zip attachment here on this post. The back issue list hasn't changed, and won't change until August, since that's when the Aron project was completed in 2016.
Thank you all for your support. Without it, these characters and comics couldn't be here!

It's time for the $12 tier to decide which project I'm going to work on next. This won't be an extensive list, because right now I'm only interested in working on two specific projects, immediately, since The Mind of Brooke Reed was completed earlier today. It's going to break down to which of two characters you want to see, next, or which style of comic.
By Night (working title) - This project involves Beth. It will probably lack any dialog and will convey the total separation between Beth's day life and what she arranges for her current sex life. This will focus on heavily on her submissive pet play, inspired by the images of her wearing a leash. The male presence will not be a named character. This comic will have themes of bondage, pet-play, leashing, submission, detailed female orgasms, and female ejaculation.
Charles (working title) - This title will likely change, but I don't know what else to call it. It's an evolution of the original story I wanted to do with Lynne and Charles, the Rottweiler fellow. But now with Charles evolving into a more assertive fellow, who grows to become a real force in Lynne's life, driving at odds with her normal using-and-dominating behavior. It will involve him interrupting her normal life with his sexual requirements and impulsivity, and her conflict with how much she likes it, despite herself. Heavy emphasis on this interpersonal dynamic, with fetishes revolving around hidden semi-public sex, domination, spontaneity, risky sex, and Genwyn's disapproval.
Thanks for your votes! If you have any questions, or any input otherwise, let me know. This tier gives you a little more gravity when you give me any kind of feedback.
Thanks!
I spent much of Saturday wrapping up the final page of The Mind of Brooke Reed. To me, it's pretty cute. I like depicting things in Brooke's little world. There's a cast that revolves around her, entirely, and I'm enjoying writing about them. Even as this comic finishes, I'm sure she'll be revisited often.
As always, the finished comic will be posted and made available to the $6+ tiers on the 5th of the month (Monday).
Decided to just color this up right quick since some people asked for it. As much as Beth needs to be colored.
This was a quick sketch I did to draw a walk in profile completely free handed. This pose may come in handy for another project much later.
This started out as a warmup sketch in my sketchbook, and I just kept adding to its finish.
This is a quick monochrome comic page I sketched out today specifically for the Erotic Philosophy video where I talk about how I generate ideas for erotic stories.
The video is available to the $12+ tiers in the post prior to this one.
Between this page and the last image they were in together, you can see Charles taking a more assertive role in Lynne's life.
Another Erotic Philosophy video for the $12+ tier! This time discussing the heavy issue of idea generation, and where they come from for me. I managed to confine this to about fifteen minutes.
My housemate has a dog who keeps ringing a door hanging jingle bell about halfway through the video. Just ignore that. He's an ass.
The wet version of this picture.
Patreon is still displaying the colors as more saturated than they should be, but if you download the attached file and view it another way, it should show correctly.
The dry version of this picture.
Patreon is still displaying the colors as more saturated than they should be, but if you download the attached file and view it another way, it should show correctly.
Progressing on this one. When I finish it, there's going to be a version where he's peeing inside her bikini bottom, and a version where he isn't, pretty much just like this. For those who.. you know.
Because it's Lynne.
Started this up and couldn't quite get the line work done before my weekend officially started. Charles is the rottweiler we met in Twisted Sister, and I keep tweaking the nature of her relationship with him in my mind.
Anyway, can't wait to work on and finish this up next week.
Revisiting the idea of "Mikey" with the intent to call him "Mike" from now on. He's a little more wizened, now, but still keeping in line with the naturally ultra-feminine male. Although very bottom-y, I could easily see him switching sometimes.
Finished up the colors on this one, finally, this morning.
Had to practice drawing this, for certain reasons. This concept is really hot to me. I won't have a chance to color it this weekend, but it might get colored sometime next week.
For those wanted to see what I turned Brooke into for my video discussion about Character Design and why it's important.
This is the image I eventually used to illustrate the Erotic Philosophy video about beauty standards for the $12 tier.
I originally sketched this to illustrate an Erotic Philosophy video for the $12 tiers, where I discuss beauty standards. I ended up using another image, instead, since this one seems a little cutesy and quick.
An action packed video for the $12 tier, about beauty standards in erotic work! A lot of the talk revolves around the nature of art, and the decision to maintain your own sense of beauty standards in whatever you produce, since it's yours.
This is the second installment in the Erotic Philosophy series. It's about twenty minutes long, like the last one, but I recorded this one in 1080p, and I also got my mitts on a real microphone, so the sound quality is WAY improved.
The video is attached to this post. Click to download.
Thought I'd put some color on this before I started my day.
A quick atmospheric piece I wanted to do while I was waiting for my weekend to start. Maybe I'll color it.
Brooke Reed powers on! Another six pages are done and ready for sharing, and I'm enjoying it. She's someone I never really get tired of drawing in these situations. I kind of like exploring her mind almost more than exploring her actual sex life. I think it feels a little more personal. You can find The Mind of Brooke Reed page 1-12 in progress in the attached .zip file to this post.
Those who wanted to see Brooke with men will be pleased with this update. It was never my intention to have her focus mainly on women through college.
And as always, we have the back issues that are over a year old. The list is the same as it was last month. Enjoy!

This is a quick image of Brooke I did for a character design video I shared with the $12 tier. In the video, I discussed how character design is important to context, and I applied color layers where I turned Brooke purple and covered her in tattoos, to make a point.
The first part of a video series (video attached) about my design philosophies when I create my stuff. Instead of doing this as an art project, I decided to make this a video series for you, the $12 tiers.
This video features a drawing of Brooke that I did, along with some color changes to show design variation, as well as some YCH commissions whose contexts were completely changed by the designs of the characters who won slots in them.
I'm going to experiment with getting a real microphone to improve the sound quality of these videos in the future. I've also pre-written most of what I'm saying in the video, in the hopes of sounding more natural, with fewer pauses and "uhms" through most of it.
I would love to embed these videos here, so they could be streamed on any device. Unfortunately, when I try to use my site to create a URL, Patreon kicks back an error message every time I feed the URL into the field here. I can't post it on youtube, because that would defeat the point of a reward, and.. well.. there's naughty bits in it.
Right now I'm still doing 720p videos, but I may do 1080 in the future.
Max Coyote's warmup sketch commission for April. This is the last warmup commission I'll be doing, unless I bring the tier back.
Athiesh's warmup sketch commission for April.
Anubis' warmup sketch commission, featuring him having sex with a man with a vagina.
Sherri's warmup for April, coloring her prior month's warmup sketch.
Heartwood's warmup sketch for April, featuring him and his sister being fashionably disinterested in all of us.
Wrapped this up. I hope it's not too dark, but it looks appropriate on my own setup.
I've also started noticing that when Patreon displays an image on their page, they tend to have their hue values pushed deeper into the reds. If you download the attached file and view it, it seems to have the colors I intended.
Hadn't drawn Erzile in a long time. I thought I might also practice my goats while I'm at it. Sort of a Dark Souls-esque size difference going on here with the mystical entities. I'll color this up in time.
Goddess Mar's warmup sketch commission for April.
I have plans for more content in May, and it involves freeing up a lot of time to do more original content from myself, by phasing out the $50 commission tier. When I came up with the tier, I was new to Patreon and had no idea how successful it would be. I wanted it to be a good way to get people involved and guarantee a $500 hunk. Since then, Patreon has become far more successful than I ever anticipated.
Unfortunately, I also think there's been a bit of a rut. I've divided most of my time during my work days between commissions I must do, and comics I must do, without a lot of time for extras. Certainly not as much time as I want, or envisioned when I first created my account, here. I find I'm too tired to really do the sketches I want, draw new ideas for my characters, or other things I've thought of doing, by the end of the day.
Starting in May, all tiers will probably start seeing more content in general, but mainly more content revolving around my characters and stories, instead of commissioned content. Here's a more detailed explanation for the content plans per tier:
- $12 tier: I really want to make the $12 tier more valuable than it is. Right now it feels like these patrons are the unsung heroes pledging more out of a sheer desire to support me, and they're getting about as much as everyone else, save for a vote on something every few months, and a work/chat video here and there. I want to do more regular videos where I make presentations about how I work, how I write, how I create characters. I'd like to try to do a couple a month, if not more. I also want to create more videos to just chat if I have something on my mind. I'd like it to feel like a little podcast or a Youtube channel. I'm also interested in doing more interactive and responsive content, like the "ask" series I did a very long time ago, where I gave the $12 tier the chance to ask characters questions. Another thing I want to do is give the steering committee more of a say in what fully finished illustrations I do, out of a variety of possibilities I will offer as rough sketches to vote on. If you're in this tier, I want you to feel like you're getting some real inside baseball stuff here, if that interests you. There is also a possibility I may do a single commission from this tier, if I can find a way to do it fairly. Apparently raffles are against the Patreon TOS, so doing that is out.
- $6 tier: the comic tier will remain largely unchanged in terms of rewards, other than I hope to complete even more content for this tier, each month, with my extra time. This includes the black and white side-project comics, and possibly more pages each month of the main adult comic projects being completed. Basically, if you're in this tier, you'll continue to get everything that's a "finished" project, without all the behind-the-scenes stuff.
- $1 tier: this tier will be enhanced as I have more time to sketch my own characters and my own concepts that could lead to larger pictures and projects in the future, similar to my old Sketchblog from way back (if anyone's old enough to remember that!). I realized I often don't have the energy to do the sketches I want, or start on the stand-alone images I want, after I'm done with all the "must do" work at the end of the day. I'm hoping that I can replace the time spent doing some of the commissions I'm obligated to, now, with sketches of my own that I miss doing. Along with that, this tier will continue to see the stand-alone finished images that I do.
That about covers it for what's planned starting in May. If you have any questions and such, let me know, here, and thank you all!

Syphon's warmup sketch for this month.
Goth Skunk's warmup for this month is to color his last month's sketch. Lots of coloring this month.
MKX's warmup for this month, coloring his prior month's sketch.
Some Red pictures I decided to occupy little bits of my evening time with. I've been getting heavily into shooting again, lately, and just felt inspired stick a gun on her. Though, I fucked up on the left side sketch and put the holster lower than her belt. Alas.
I haven't forgotten about this. This page sat around half drawn much of last month because of how busy I was.
Athiesh's warmup sketch for the month of March, when he was initially charged. The angle was an interesting challenge.
It's that time again. Posting this a little late in the day, since I wanted to make sure I finished page 6, as I wanted to leave off on that part, instead. I try to do six a month, and I'm working with larger page sizes, this time. But I'm liking this project, and I'm having fun drawing Brooke over and over.
You can find the first six pages of The Mind of Brooke Reed in an attached .zip to this post.
And as always, we have the back issues that are over a year old. This time, we're adding The Rise of the Wolf Queen part 4, as it was completed by the end of March in 2016.

Something quick I wanted to do to see what Lynne would look like. Genwyn disapproves. He likes the natural look.
Anubis' warmup sketch for this month.
Brojangles' warmup sketch commission for this month.
Finished this up after breakfast. Probably won't tire of this subject for some time.
A lazy Saturday bit of work. I'm sure to color this and post the finished piece here.
Syphon's warmup sketch for this month.
Goth Skunk's warmup commission for this month.
Finished this up before starting a new week of work. Just a quickie pic, really. Someone commented on wanting a bottomless version, but I generally refrain from "versions" of images like this, because it's just designed to capture one moment. Brooke doesn't sleep bottomless or naked (on purpose), because she's not Trixie. She's a "normal" girl with an abnormal sexual mind.
Something I came up with real fast while waiting around this morning. I'll be finishing this with time.
Heartwood's warmup commission for this month, coloring last month's incestuous daliance.
Max's warmup commission for this month, coloring last month's.
Got started on this in my spare time. Behold the establishing sequence.
As Brooke has color pages being made as the main adult comic project, these are being made into black and white, and posted as finished.
Broke ground on the Brooke comic a bit ago and decided to post this first page to show off the new sizes and formats I'm going to work in for it. I'm working in 11x17 sheet sizes now, and saving at larger sizes. I hope it doesn't make for ungainly file sizes when I start tossing around the .zip file of the entire comic. But I'm going to stick with it for now.
I'm just sharing this first page publicly, here. The rest of the comic will be shared with the $6+ pledge tiers in the usual way, with progress being shared around the 5th of every month.
Hello! I'm pleased to say that "The Gift" is completed, despite February being a short month. I wasn't sure if I was going to get in the last page before the 5th came around, but I managed to, with a few days to spare.
According to the latest steering committee poll, the next full color comic to be worked on will be The Mind of Brooke Reed, which is all about her twisted sexual fantasies involving the people she meets at college.
Attached to this post is a .zip file containing the entire finished comic "The Gift." The back issues for this reward cycle haven't changed. As usual, I share back issue comics during the reward cycle after they are a year old.

Some sketching for possible new Cottonwine characters I did after work, today.
A day late on Max's warmup sketch commission for February. Curse that short month.
A picture I started based on a simple idea by a steering committee tier member. I had time to work on something and decided to do this.
The Mind of Brooke Reed won the steering committee poll for my next color comic project after The Gift is completed. So you'll probably be seeing more of her in the upcoming months, if you're in the comic tiers.
I'll be coloring this as I have the time.
Another work video for the steering committee tiers! I'm keeping them under thirty minutes and working to become more concise in my speech. Here, I talk about the recent poll and its winner, future black and white project pages, feedback, and I also touch a little on Horizon Zero Dawn, the latest game I'm kind of excited about.
I also talk about how this image idea came about, as the result of unsolicited feedback from a steering committee member.
Your feedback is always appreciated. Thank you!
Heartwood's warmup sketch commission for this month.
This is Brojangles' warmup sketch for this month. My first time drawing this position, before. Was a little tricky.
Mar's warmup sketch commission for this month.
Syphon's warmup sketch for this month.
This started out as just a sketch of Mary doing curls, and it turned into this.
EDIT: Audrey's right hand remains uncolored in the display image here, because I couldn't change it without redoing the entire entry. But her hand is colored in the file attachment version.
Hello, all!
I've used Patreon's new poll feature for the first time to poll my $12+ tiers for which future main comic project interests them the most (that particular poll is still open and closes in about six days). The results will be used to determine my next main color project when I'm done with The Gift.
Also, these black and white pages, so far featuring only Brooke, are become a real ongoing thing. I've decided to start saving them at higher resolutions, and I'm going to start posting them to the $6+ tiers, instead of the $1+ tiers, since they are more involved comic projects in their own right. Seems like I was doing about two per month since I started Brooke Goes To College. This kind of format could also be a good outlet for those projects which have been polled to the steering committee tier, and get respectable support, but rarely get voted to the top.
So, if you are in the steering committee tier, and the kinds of things you vote for never seem to quite make it, it's still valuable to show your support for what you like. Those stories might be expressed in other ways.
Thank you all for your support! You're the best.
Brooke continues. A few changes taking place: I'm going to save these at larger file sizes so they look better on higher resolution monitors. I've included the prior pages in a .zip file at this higher resolution, so you can save them that way if you're making a collection.
I've also decided to move these pages to the $6 reward tier. this ecompasses most people already, but I felt like it's a good way to make this tier more valuable since I'm planning on making this black and white format a thing. Looks like I'm doing approximately two per month, although I've done three in Feburary.
EDIT: I forgot to attach page 8 at full resolution to the entry. I've edited the entry to put that. Sorry!
Hello, steering committee tiers! As I get closer and closer to the end of The Gift, it's time to start steering the direction of where we're going to take the next big project. Lately, some of my projects have taken on a strange "sexual montage" kind of tone, which I don't really mind. It just feels like a pattern and I'm wondering if it's a good one. So, I have a list of projects on my mind as well as descriptions of them below. This is also the first post where I'm going to try to use Patreon's new engrained poll feature. So let's hope it works!
Lynne's Wager - A holdover from my last poll, wherein Lynne exercises her tremendous capacity for depravity in an effort to win a bet by getting her current boyfriend to break up with her. This will feature a series of events instigated by her to follow this through, to which she only increasingly arouses the man she's trying to shock. It will feature a lot of the things Lynne is into, including a lot of cuckolding, anonymous sex, pee, group sex, risky sex, incest, and voyeurism. The overall tone will be depraved, but also a little funny.
Lynne and Penny (working title) - Sort of a twist of an idea with Penny I've been working on, that involves kind of a Jekyll and Hyde scenario that has been tickling my imagination, lately. It will revolve around them as jogging partners, and a new side of Penny not yet seen, before. This has the potential of being a relatively short (under 15 page) comic. It will probably feature tight clothes, everything Lynne's into, Penny the trans, and likely some rough sex. The overall tone will be light.
The Mind of Brooke Reed - Playing on her little self contained black and white pages I've been doing for fun, I thought I could put together a fun, and maybe slightly humorous peek into Brooke's mind, where she plays out various omnipotent fantasies involving the men and women she meets every day, for whom she has soul-wrenching crushes. It would be another "sexual montage" type project, similar to "Aron" was last year, only it would be her own fevered imagination instead of a recollection. It'll feature all the things Brooke is into, including butt worship, older men, girl on girl, sweat, inappropriate sex, with a dash of social awkwardness. Overall tone would be light and maybe a little funny.
Erotic Philosophy - A sort of how-to about what I think about when I come up with stories and characters, how I decide how characters behave and act, and what kinds of stories to put them in. A little bit of design philosophy and story philosophy thrown in. This is really something I've wanted to do for a long time, and to be honest, I'll probably do it eventually - it'll just take longer to do if it's not voted as a full time project ahead of any comics listed here. I'd end up doing parts of it in my spare time. It'll be text, with heaps of erotic illustrations to indicate points. It'll cover everything from story types, to character design, on down to expressions during sex.
The Mission - Set in the Cottonwine universe, this is a tale I've been sort of tinkering with in the back of my mind for some time, involving two Human paladin missionaries on an assignment to spread the ways of their religion and culture of a tribe of Equines. The story will have the tone of a fantasy journey, with an emphasis on natural temptation, instead of drug induced. Would contain some fantasy violence, the tone of steady corruption, unfaithfulness, tribalism, and fertility. It will also depict encounters with more than just Equines. It will focus largely on the transformation within one woman, rather than a multitude, and feature entirely new characters from that world.
Feedback and thoughts are always encouraged. If you have any ideas for stories, feel free to share those too. If any interesting ideas catch my fancy, I may be able to expand them into something workable.
Now let's see if this polling feature works. I'm going to set the end date for a week's time from now.
Goth Skunk's warmup for this month, coloring his prior month's sketch. I won't post an attachment with this one, because it's big for printing.
Lynne's Dark Souls 3 getup is very different from the first game.
MKX's warmup for this month, coloring his prior sketch.
Anubis' warmup sketch for this month.
This is just a five minute video capture test where I'm trying to get it working how I want with the new setup. You can hear my laptop fans begin to wirr as it works on capturing this high resolution from a 5k monitor (which I later reduced down). I still have to tweak the output size and hope that helps. I tend to run it through Handbrake when I'm done to get the size of video that I want.
There was a lot of pre-testing, as well. I couldn't capture the entire screen, but I could capture smaller areas that I designated, for some reason. I think the software is either choking on the 5k resolution, or it's having trouble with the fact that it's a closed laptop plugged into an extra monitor. But it would just record audio, and no video, unless I designated a smaller area to work with. This is why the video is cropped how it is.
This is only a five minute and forty second video to test this. When I get it down, I'll be doing more, hopefully longer videos, for the $12+ tiers, once again.
I did also talk about some of the thoughts going behind Brooke's story, as well, so if you're interested in that, it's good enough to listen to as if it's not just a test.
Hello, and thanks for your patience! The rewards are a couple of days late, but here it is. The comic is swimming along well. I'm estimating maybe we'll have another round of these before it's completed? I'm pleased with how much longer I can make these. Really, I could kind of torment Rachel for months, but things have to wrap up eventually.
Page 1 through 14 are included in the .zip file attached to this post.
Also, the back issues are included from 2007 to 2015. And Dog Days is now a year old, so it's being included in the back issue list, as well. Enjoy, and thank you for your support!

I'm still waiting for Patreon to pay out, which is what I normally do before posting rewards. I know I normally post things on the 5th, but I think because it fell on a Sunday, they didn't do their payout normally. If nothing happens today, I'll be posting the rewards tomorrow morning nonetheless.
Thanks for your patience!!
I'm doing these as I know what I want to do next. I don't really have them planned out very far ahead. But I know what direction I want to go for now, so you'll see more of these.
Heartwood's warmup sketch commission for January.
Brojangle's warmup for this month, entailing a front-back reference for this spry gentleman.
Warmup sketch for Anubis this month. This sketch had more moving parts than I anticipated, but that happens sometimes. Apparently the bunny is a superhero who loses a lot.
As much as it can be. Still more sketchy than finished, but I wanted to put the color on to see the contrast with her fur and the getup she's wearing.
More digital practice, cleaning things up and coloring them a bit, too. I'm just saving things at 100% on my system to have them look good on high quality monitors, now.
While waiting for a social engagement today, I found the time to do some more digital practice. I'm currently playing through the original Dark Souls game, since I never did beat it before (and I've beaten Dark Souls 3 three times). So I decided to draw Lynne wearing the gear my character is currently using.
I'd like to color it up sometime, since I think her bright colors would look good in contrast to the dark color of the armor set.
Syphon's warmup for this month, coloring last month's.
Mar's warmup sketch commission for this month, featuring Fisk and Elizabeth.
Did some digital sketch practice after work, seeing how things clean up and save just drawing straight into the computer. Please let me know what you think of this in comparison to the pencil work, if you notice any difference at all, and let me know what you think about the size for saving. I'm trying to anticipate all the ultra-HD jazz coming down the line, and I've found the digital style works better when saved at larger sizes.
Finished this off this morning. I saved it at the size I saved all my old work.
I used this image to work with my new computer setup, getting Photoshop wrangled to my preferences, once again. The trickiest part is working in a 5k monitor that does its best to smooth out the lines of the image while displaying it at full inch dimension, on a screen with such a substantial pixel density. I usually work in 300dpi, but in this case, I worked in 400 and went with a 33% size reduction when saving it as a .jpg. As most applications display at a reduced size, it looks fine, but for when it's viewed at full size. Let me know how it shows up on your own display. Thanks!
Sherri's warmup sketch commission for this month.
New work station is in progress. It's going to mean adjusting all my peripherals to the new USB formats and making sure things look decent in 5k. Also I'm hoping to be more mobile with my work, so I'm going back to laptops.
Taking the time to get things set up. But happy with it so far. It shouldn't eat into my production too much as I get used to new things over the next few days!
Max's warmup for this month, coloring his prior commission.
Goth Skunk's warmup sketch for this month, which is the beginning of a con badge, apparently.
Decided to do a little drawing to mess about with Brooke's body model and try to not stretch it out so much, this time.
Just a quick drawing after work.
It's a new year! It's time for the first reward round for the $6+ tiers, which includes back issues that are over a year old. Dog Days, the first completed comic in 2016, will be included in next month's reward cycle.
For this month, we have the first eight pages of The Gift included as a .zip file attached to this post. And we have the links to the back issues through 2015 below.

Finished this up. My coloring skills probably aren't up to handling the multiple different colored and types of light sources in the image (the red coals of the fire, the yellow flame of the candle, and the white light of the window). In any event, it was relaxing to work on.
N's warmup sketch from December, which I forgot to post when I finished it before the New Year's weekend.
It's 2017, now, and I want to thank everyone for a great 2016. This keeps going because each and every one of you has placed a stake in making sure of it. I love all of you more than you know.
Things for 2017: More work videos for the $12+ tiers. More Brooke comics for everyone else. The adult comics continue. I also want to start sketching things out again. I've been a little slack about doing more sketches for myself since the sketch warmup commissions tend to dominate that area, these days.
Speaking of warmup commissions for the $50 tier:
I'm aware that some people are capitalizing on their commission slot by auctioning off appearances in them, every month. That's fine with me. I also know that people post their warmups here and there, and have them edited, sometimes even animated. Again, this is fine. When you buy your commission, it's yours. You can do with it what you please.
I also know that at least one person is using friends/alts/whatever to effectively hold two commission slots a month. I wasn't sure what to think about this at first, considering how hard it is to jump on an open slot in the tier, they must be really on the ball to manage to do it twice. But for the sake of being able to allocate a scarce resource, starting at the beginning of Feburary, I'll be enforcing the rule of effectively allowing only one slot per person. If it's obvious there's a pattern of one person having their characters and ideas drawn twice per month, while many others wait for an open slot, I will clear up that extra slot held by their friend/alt.
Thank you all!

Syphon's warmup sketch commission for December, where I guess he decided to change things up a bit.
It's coming along.
I've started doing more research into period armor and weapons after I started this picture, and I realize everything I've depicted here (except for possibly the guns) are due for a redesign. I'll probably nail down some far more realistic armor, something other than banded leather, which I'm realizing makes no sense. I may also gravitate toward more realistic cutlery in future designs. She'll probably end up with some kind of form fitting gambeson in the future, with maybe some kind of plate held together by leather on the outside, in order to keep a brown natural color scheme for scouting duties. And also some kind of headgear.
MKX's warmup for December, specifically asking for somewhat generic characters. But nonetheless, I had fun positioning them.
Had no idea I'd get the initial shades done for this. Will be adding many more later and then coloring. Probably won't get it done by the end of the year, given how much there is to do, but I'm having a lot of fun.
Brojangle's warmup work for this month, coloring the last month's warmup sketch.
My zen. I've been doing little writeups on things in the Cottonwine world and got inspired to draw this out, and work on it over the next few.. however long. Elf Rangers are employees of universities, and have to be survivalists, fighters, explorers, as well as scholars and scientists. It's their job to assess things outside of the Dominion. They're work often then shapes government policies.
Every now and then I decide I hate myself and want to do a large hyper detailed image like this. This is a pic of Cyreth from the Cottonwine world, which I've been doing little bits of universe expansion on in my spare time, lately. Cyreth is the ranger responsible for the Cottonwine Field Notes.
Nooooo clue when I'll get to more of this, or what kind of timeframe that'll take place in. But it's there. I thought I'd take a photograph and share.
Anubis' warmup sketch commission for this month.
Sherri's warmup commission for this month.
Heartwood's warmup this month, coloring his last month's warmup commission.
Mar's warmup sketch commission for this month.
Found the time to color this up for fun. Darkened the background a bit.
Something I drew up for fun after work, before the weekend starts. Will color later.
The last overdue warmup sketch from November, belonging to Sherri.
Brojangles' warmup sketch for November, a tad bit late.
Heartwood's warmup commission for November.
November was crazy, between the holiday and then a convention coming right afterwards. I always say I never get as much done as I wanted to. Maybe that's good because I never grow complacent? Anyway, The Itch was complete, and The Gift has begun. Because it's only two pages in (I really wanted more done) I'm not including those as a zip file, but instead I'm just attaching the pages directly. Also attached to this post, you'll find the completed .zip file containing all of The Itch.
As promised, back issues, back issues forever.

I'm excited to work on The Gift. Not only to introduce two new characters, but to put Rachel in a new place. My goal is to get out way more pages in December, which means keeping the Christmas monster at bay.
Thank you all for another great month!
This month has been crazy, between finalizing part of my move and then everyone wanting a piece of me for Thanksgiving, and now remembering I have plane tickets to MFF coming up - carving a whole weekend out of my time, like it's made of ham.
Comic rewards ($6+ tiers) will be coming late on the 5th (Monday), after I manage to get home.
There are some warmup commissions that I haven't had time to do before getting all my other stuff done prior to this convention. I will be contacting those who will have to wait just a tad bit longer, but I will be getting them done.
Things to do in December:
Comic with Rachel and the black poodles.
More Brooke in college comics.
Stop the holidays from kneeing my work in the balls.
By pure coincidence, N's warmup commission for this month involves a woman expelling fluids, right after I finished a picture of Beth doing the same.
Found the time to color this up after work tonight. Mm.
MKX's warmup sketch commission for thi smonth.
One of the warmups I was able to do around a hectic weekend. For Max.
Some people fish to relax. I draw pictures of Beth having mind shattering orgasms. Will color in time.
The beginning of the new adult comic is as much an introduction to new characters, and their new style of domination, as it is introducing the latest iteration of Rachel. Some of you may remember Melissa from some images earlier in the year, and in relation to her twin bother, Marcus. Some may also recognize the rabbit here from his role as the teased male in an image featuring Rachel in July of this year. It was titled As Close As You Get.
Maybe this will become a little thing.
Syphon's warmup commission for this month.
Decided to share this. Not sure when I'll ever have time to color this, since Brooke's pattern is second only to Lynne in the time it takes to do, as well as all the clothing I'd have to color. But I may find time later, who knows.
Kinda surprised at how much putting it on Patreon seemed to darken the shade layer. I'm sure the attachment is fine.
Welcome to November! It’s time for the comic rewards for this month. First off, The Itch is taking quite a bit! It’s 18 pages and still going, but things should be wrapped up here very soon, and then I can start work on the next project. I’ll be diving in to a fairly elaborate and twisted story about the black poodles, Marcus and Melissa, with Rachel’s third and final form blown around in the process.
The first 18 pages of The Itch are attached to this post as a .zip. The zip link should be located to the upper left of this text body.
For back issues, Twice As Hot is now a year old! So it's been added to the back issue share list for Patreon rewards. Hard to believe it's a year old. Time's really flying. Now all the comics for 2015 are available to Patrons to download:

Thanks again for a great month!
I came up with this idea too late for Halloween, but I still had to do it. Both versions are attached to this post for download.
Goth Skunk's warmup for this month. Got it in for Halloween.
Syphon wanted characters dressed up as Assassin's Creed assassins in this month's warmup sketch.
I put a series of questions to the steering committee tier ($12+) a few days ago, and got a good bit of feedback. Some of it was great and informative, some of it was also a little surprising. Still more was kind of what I suspected. The poll was designed to get a general gist of what people appreciate the most, not to determine what I do exclusively from now on. Still, I wanted the feedback.
I found out that the overwhelming majority of the respondents preferred stories and pictures from the Original Life/Better Days universe, compared to Lumpkinville and Cottonwine. This wasn't very surprising to me, really.
Preferred story atmospheres were rather split. Most preferred playful and comedic tones, while everyone else was almost evenly split between dark and heavy themes, to slice of life non-comedic themes. The latter two were also respectably presented. They were not distant seconds.
When it came to sexual contexts people wanted to see, most tended to prefer socially taboo relationships, and cute/funny/playful situations, with things like adultery and "sluttification" coming in very last. Relatively normal sexual relationships showed respectably, too.
Contextual kink preferences were spread out pretty broadly. Surprisingly, even though most preferred the OL/BD universe, anthro/human sex came up with the most votes for contextual kink. A *very* close second was BDSM/pet-play/master-submissive contexts, followed by "relatively normal" fetish contexts.
I gave a little list of *specific* kink acts people may wish I depicted more often. I'm not really surprised that Impregnation/Breeding/Pregnancy-Risk came out with the overwhelming number of votes by respondents, followed very distantly by "no preference" in second place. Things like girl orgasms and butt worshiping got a smattering of votes with everything else, and I guess I can't blame them. I imagine most respondents figure I'll be featuring those things a lot, anyway. I was just wondering if something specific would stand out that I wouldn't expect, and it didn't.
The last two questions were optional, but I was curious. Respondents were asked what their favorite adult comic story of mine was, so far, and in a bit of morbid curiosity, what their *least* favorite was, as well. More people responded with their favorites, than gave least favorites.
Perhaps it's heartening that a lot of people listed a pretty wide variety of comics as their favorites. However, a few comics got more than a handful of mentions as favorites. The Red Riding Hood series got the most overall (I lumped all four chapters together as "one story" for this measure), which is surprising, since again, the themes in these comics tended to rank low when offered as options for what people would like to see most in the future. It's a weird contradiction, and there are quite a few throughout the poll as I looked at responses from individuals.
However, the second place standout for favorites, with the most mentions, was Twisted Sister. This *coincided* with things people tended to want to see more of in the future, when asked in prior questions (inappropriate relationships, playful comedic, etc...). I suppose the RRH series can be seen in its one shot context, and people can relate to that for itself, but it can never really be repeated with the same strength. Whereas, Lynne's life (and women like her) have personal touches that make them infinitely expandable as episodic gems.
I'm tending to treat the RRH series as lightening having struck and amazed people once, while most of my Original Life characters are wells full of scotch we can keep going back to and enjoying ourselves indefinitely.
People's least favorite was a bit of a surprise. There was the usual diverse response but one title stood out with the most indications. It's surprising to me because it was one of my *favorite* comics to do: Second Chances. I loved the setup, I loved the raunch, I loved how I drew Rachel (finally), and I loved the ending (which I almost never do). It's one of the few comics where just about every page was a joy to render. But there it is with the most indicators of "least favorite." I'm going to imagine it was because of the theme. I offered people the chance to give clarifications to their choices, but very few chose to do so.
There's also a second pause given, because of my plans to include Rachel in my next adult feature after I conclude "The Itch" currently in progress. Albeit, it'll be a completely different kind of Rachel story, but nonetheless, the story has been getting high votes whenever I put it to the steering committee. I believe it only lost out by a few votes to "The Itch" the last time I asked for votes. Which I guess it's why it's surprising to see Second Chances so mentioned as least favorite.
Now, granted, out of the 70 respondents (yes, out of over 300 steering committee members, only about 70 responded), it was only mentioned as least favorite six times. But that's well above all other project mentions. Almost everyone else didn't mention a least favorite, or they mentioned a wide variety of different projects.
I suppose I can conclude that the people who dislike Rachel's antics tend to *really* dislike them above and beyond the other kinds of comics I do. But that a dislike of her stories isn't necessarily so widespread among my readers.
Anyway, above all this was very valuable feedback, and I want to thank everyone who took the time to participate!
Heartwood's warmup for this month was to color one from a prior month.
MKX's warmup for this month, coloring last month's. Probably won't do rune detail like this on a regular basis for a warmup. It took longer than expected.
I decided to put together a little poll to send out feelers as to what those who support me the most are most likely to want to see in the upcoming year. Bear in mind, this won’t determine what I work on exclusively. I will still draw things as I get inspired. This is just to get a general feel for what is the most appreciated. I suppose I have to do this because I dabble in so many kinds of things - I’d like to know what galvanizes my fan base (and mainly my highest supporters) the most.
If you want to participate, just answer in the comments, along the lines of the number of the question followed by the letter containing your answer. If you have any other comments to clarify your choices, feel free to add them. I’m trying to gauge the sense of what my highest supporters like. Some of them may seem related. You may like two equally. Still, just pick one and let me get the gist, or give me more nuance in your comments.
The two questions at the bottom are optional, but your feedback will help, as always. Thanks!
Please only choose one per question:
1) Which universe is your favorite to see content from?
a) Original Life/Better Days
b) Lumpkinville
c) Cottonwine
2) Which story atmosphere do you prefer in adult stories or pictures?
a) Playful/comedic erotic themes (think: Best Laid Mistress)
b) Dark heavy erotic themes (think: Fall of Red Riding Hood)
c) Slice of life but non-comedic erotic themes (think: Twice as Hot)
3) Which sexual context do you like to see in adult stories or pictures the most?
a) Relatively normal sexual relationships
b) Socially taboo/inappropriate relationships
c) Brainwashing/corruption/sluttification
d) Cheating/Adultery
e) Funny/cute/playful sexual situations
4) Which contextual kink would you prefer to see more of?
a) Relatively normal fetish contexts
b) BDSM/pet-play/master-submissive
c) Feminization/traps
d) Anthro/Human sex
e) Group sex/multiple loads
f) No preferece
5) Which specific kink act would you prefer I depict more often?
a) Impregnation/Breeding/Pregnancy Risk
b) Anal sex
c) Detailed blowjobs
d) Detailed rimjobs/butt worship
e) Spanking
f) Female masturbation/orgasm
g) Girl-on-Girl sex
h) Pee/Marking/Wetting
i) No preference
6) What is your favorite adult comic of mine so far?
7) What is your least favorite adult comic of mine so far?
N's warmup commission for this month, featuring some heterosexual sex just to change things up a bit.
Today's little after work extra curricular efforts. Eventually I want to do a pet themed comic for Beth. I'll color this as time permits.
Mar's warmup for this month is just something Halloween themed.
Sherri's warmup for this month, coloring a prior bit of icon work for another character.
Brojangle's warmup for this month was to color his last month's commission.
The weather is normal and all things are good. I've finished a lot of moving in necessities. I still have some things to do, but I can more or less get back to work as normal starting Monday.
Thank you all for your patience.
I got my office set up in my place in Orlando. The important thing is I'm out of Satellite Beach, which is pretty much under mandatory evac. I also can probably do a little work in the meantime, until all hell comes in. But for now, things are safe. I just expect some storming and possible outages, but we're in the inner city, now, so we should be prioritized.
Also, there's an issue with how Patreon posts handle link data on entries. If I mis-type an entry's URL and then edit the post to change the URL to the correct one, the link will still send you to the old bad URL. I accidentally capitalized the "I" in "mistress" in the link to Best Laid Mistress in my last post, and I accidentally put a ' on the end of Marital Aid. If when you click the link, you go to the URL and lower case the i and remove the ' from those respective links, they should download normally. Patreon just doesn't change the links when you change the name of the links. I made this error in my haste to update the comic rewards early, and I apologize.
Thanks all! Take care.
I dished out the comic rewards for the beginning of October a day early as I'm not sure when I'll be available to do it tomorrow. I've pushed ahead my relocation of my work and living necessities to my new place as hurricane Matthew looms. So, I'll be spending most of tomorrow relocating and taking an account of survival items, food, water, firearms, hockey masks, RadAway, etc...
Pretty sure it won't be too bad, and I'll be able to keep in touch by the weekend, but just in case, I'm making this announcement.
Thank you and take care!
Hello, all! I'm doing the comic rewards a day early this month, because I won't be able to do it tomorrow. I'm moving up my relocation to Orlando in the impending presence of hurricane Matthew.
The Itch comes along. Sorry it seems to have such a slow build, but I wanted it that way from its inception. Nonetheless, the currently finished pages are in the zip attached to this post, a link to which should be to your left.
Back issues haven't changed since last month, but Twice As Hot should be available next month!

Thanks for another awesome month!
This month, Brojangles wanted a sketch of Sherri having sex with an elephant lady with a penis.
Syphon's warmup sketch for this month. I still really kinda suck at non-anthro animals.
All the while drawing this, I kept thinking of the movie A Boy and His Dog.
Goth Skunk's warmup for this month. And the last three-full-bodies commissions I'll do as warmups.
Found the time to wrap this one up today. Was fun. :3
Heartwood's warmup this month was to color the reference of his twin sister. Because she's so monochrome, I cleaned it up and bit more than I normally do for sketches.
This will probably be the last month where I accept images with three full bodies in them for warmup commissions. My criteria says "3-ish" which means bits and pieces of a third character sometimes, here and there. But three full bodies is a real time drain, above and beyond what I anticipate in a warmup sketch.
Max's warmup for this month was to color his prior month's commission.
Patreon sent this to me out of the blue, complete with little white gloves to handle it. It looks pretty nice! You all deserve to take a bow for this as much as me, for being such great supporters.
It'll be a great addition to my new place when I move in. Thank you all!
Something cute I did. I'll be coloring it later.
Another work video for the high tiers. Working on another image with Penny. It was a cute idea I wanted to practice. I talk a bit about the usual things, as well as the possibility of doing another "ask" series at some point. I also talk about moving into Orlando, soon.
Sherri's warmup commission for this month was to color last month's.
Found the time to finish this. I think Penny will supply my muse for self contained images for a little while to come.
Anubis' warmup for this month, featuring Rika.
I doubt I'll get tired of drawing this angle. Just something I wanted to do. More of Lynne and her jogging partner, Penny. Not sure when I'll get the chance to color this.
A fun little sketch I did for symmetry practice, and then decided to color. The plane she's on isn't very consistent, but there ya go.
Mar wanted to see a front and back picture of ancient character gigolo Lance Cannon, for her warmup commission this month. Lance is retired from that life, now, and runs a spiritual wellness retreat in New Mexico.
Put aside some time to sketch a little bit for myself, purely for fun. It's been a while.
I can't claim credit for this joke. I heard it from Adam Carolla.
It’s September already, and it’s time for those comic rewards. I’m having a good time working on this Mary Ann comic, and I’m doing a bit to spend a little more attention to detail in body language and gestures to convey mood in a few places, and make the interaction come off as organic. Normally, I rush through a lot of these parts to get to the adult material, but in this one I’ve decided to depict it, to build the relevant setting and mood that I want.
The first six pages are in the attachment to this post. The attachment should appear to the lower left of the image above this post as a .zip file. Click it and download to your heart’s content.
The back issue list hasn’t changed since last month. Twice As Hot will be a year old in the beginning of November, so I’ll be sharing it as a back issue then.

Thanks for another awesome month!
It's the first of September and things continue to chug along well. The pay-now pledge system is working properly, and the slew of declined cards at the end of every month doesn't hit the bottom line like it used to.
Next month I pledge to work on more things that I want to draw for myself. Berlin took a lot of time off the table for me, and I'm eager to get back to drawing things just for fun, to share here. In fact, I've set aside most of today to do just that, and I'll probably have something cute to share this evening.
As usual, the $6+ comic rewards will be posted around the 5th, after most of the pledges are finished processing. I'll also be asking for the $50 commission tiers for their September sketch information at that time.
Thanks for another great month everyone!
Anubis' warmup for this month. My last one of this month. Berlin really set me back but I'm back into the swing of things.
Heartwood's warmup for this month, sort of a reference style character portrait.
Sherri's warmup sketch for this month. I'm kinda plowing through these along with other work I want to get done by the end of the month, so I'm not getting a lot of extra stand-alone pics done. But more will come next month.
Max's warmup sketch commission for this month.
Syphon's warmup sketch commission for this month.
Goddess Mar's warmup sketch commission. She just asked for anything "Fisk themed" so I did this. I kinda like the pics where I get a lot of creative freedom, over the ones where I'm tasked with specifics.
I finished this before going to Berlin, but didn't hear back from Mar approving it until I was already on my trip. So I've now posted it as I've returned home, and have slept for 12 hours to clear the jet lag.
Now it's back to work!
Still having a good time in Berlin. Though it's been a while and I can't wait to get home and get back to work, honestly. So much to do!
Last night and anthropomorphic box took to the dance floor.
I also discovered I could reply to private messages through the Patreon app. I was just blind and didn't quite see where.
Thanks for the patience! You're the best fans in the world.
Doing my first ever Patreon phone post. I ran into Princess Rei here, unexpectedly and you can see us pictured above. Berlin is great.
A reminder that I will be home around Monday the 22nd. Also, I've gotten a few private messages on Patreon while I'm overseas, and I can't seem to access them to reply in the Patreon mobile app. I'll reply to everything when I get home.
Thanks!
After a year in the planning, I'm going to be flying out to Berlin tomorrow, the 14th. I'll be there through Eurofurence and fly home on Monday, the 22nd. I'm going to hit the work treadmill hard again when I get back, so stay tuned.
Thank you all, and be good while I'm gone!
Brojangle's warmup for this month. I'm getting all the colorations out of the way, first, I suppose!
This was Warwolf's final sketch commission from last month, after finally getting ahold of him. The only bad thing about the pay-now pledge system is that as soon as someone grabs a $50 slot, I owe them a sketch that month. Ah well. Just a few more hours of work.
I actually kind of enjoy getting to draw tech and armor like this, sometimes.
MKX wanted his last month's sketch commission colored for this month.
This was Mar's warmup for July. For some reason, I flaked and forgot to transfer her request to my notes, so I didn't get it done until early on Saturday.
Hello! The months roll on, and I’ve finally completed Aron. It’s a longer comic, but worth it. I could have kept going and there may be some aspects I’ll cover later, that I didn’t cover here, but I thought it good to cap the project at 22 pages. The next project is about Mary Ann and I’m going to see if I can cut a few corners on the speed of production and still maintain good quality, so I can churn out more pages than I otherwise have been. I want to get into a better rhythm.
Click on the attached .zip for the Aron comic in its entirety.
Martial Aid is about a year old, now, so I’m sharing it along with the other back issues that are older from 2015.

July was the best month so far. Thank you all! I hope to continue to be worth your patronage moving forward.
All colored up. It was good to get this done before plunging into the comic.
Something cute with Mary Ann I've wanted to draw for a while. Will color when I have the time later.
Brojangles' first warmup sketch commission. He wanted to see Sparky making passionate love to Sissy's face.
Another work vid for the steering committee tier, where I discuss the voting for future comics, and a few other things. Kept this one to about twenty minutes.
Anubis' warmup sketch for this month. Been a little under the weather lately, and my work slowed a little. But I'm working to get through these.
N's warmup sketch commission for this month.
I put my next adult comic up for a vote with the $12+ steering committee, and this is how it broke down after about a week. It's funny to me that there's over 300 $12+ patrons, but only 63 people put in their two cents. Either way, looks like I'll be doing Mary Ann's new story next. I still definitely want to do the Rachel and Lynne stories, but they'll just come at a later date.
Goth Skunk wanted to use his warmup to catch a glimpse into Mary Ann's current sex life. I originally said this was Apollo, but I remember Apollo was much darker and I don't have a name for the painted horse I drew her "settling" with in an older picture.
I haven't done a fetishy/bondagey picture in a while, and I had this idea for how Rachel would be used by her new owner to frustrate another.
Warmup dobe brought to you by MKX's sketch commission for this month.
Syphon's warmup for this month was to color his last month's sketch commission.
Hello, $12+ patrons. The Aron adult comic will be finished this month, and I need your vote on what I do next. I've compiled a list of the things I'd love to work on, soon, and have solid plot and theme ideas for. Things have to come together in an interesting way in my mind, for me to want to cover something in an adult comic. Just telling me "I'd like to see ____ in a comic" doesn't move my needle.
Bear in mind: Mention the one you want to see the most, and I'll record it. If you give me a list in order of preference, I'm only going to record the #1 choice. If you give me an either/or option of equal preference, I will not record your vote. If I don't give enough details for you, feel free to ask me for more details about what I have mind.
These are all working titles:
Rachel's Cage - Rachel's continuing life, meeting up with Marcus and coming under his unique spell, used in every way she loves, but denied what she wants the most. This comic will feature themes of chastity, bondage, extreme depravity, Marcus' sister will feature, which will introduce incest themes. There's also breeding risk, group sex, and male and female bisexuality. Overall theme is intense and dark.
Cottonwine Bestiary - Instead of a dry "guide" book necessarily, I'm thinking of taking this idea and turning it into a story revolving around a classroom presentation style environment, featuring my elven ranger character introducing others to possible field encounters. I have a hankering to focus on the Orcine for the first bit. Themes will be educational in an arousing light, temptation, breeding, sex addiction - Cottonwine stuff. Just a tad dark with maybe a slight comedic edge, actually.
Lynne's Wager - Lynne's ends up in a wager where she has to get one of Genwyn's friends to break up with her. To her frustration, he happens to be into every terrible thing she tries to do. She's into breaking the rules - but what happens when the guy she's with doesn't have any? The theme here will be how wild Lynne is, with an emphasis on cheating, depravity, risks, humiliation, and male chastity, with comedic tones.
Mary Ann's Itch - Settled down, 30 years old, a mother, with a hard working equine husband who isn't home as often as she needs, Mary Ann starts to feel the itch that's dogged her most of her adult life. Instead of wild, sexual rapacity, this will feature the themes of being almost sympathetic to her single affair, age differences, sexual temptation, pregnancy risk, uncontrolled passion, and her equine preference. Overall theme will be about temptation, steamy scenes, laced with subtle yet powerless guilt.
Also remember, if the project you vote on still doesn't win, your vote still has influence. I often look at the other projects that have polled very well and keep them in high consideration for things to do beyond the next project.
Thank you for your input!
Heartwood's warmup sketch commission for this month.
Sherri's warmup commission for this month was to color her prior sketch commission.
The fourth installment in the ongoing Lynne Pees series, each picture capturing the progress of man's philosophy through his development from prehistory to the Enlightenment, using allusion and symbology.
I'll be coloring this in a bit.
July's rewards for recent patrons! Sorry this was posted a day late, but there was some late-day circumstance which prevented me from handling this last night. Attached, you will find the Aron project, still in progress, though quite long for a color adult comic. I'm also providing weblinks to back issue .zips, as per usual for the $6+ tier rewards. But this is all old news for most of you.

The "Charge Upfront" option for Patreon is going to be implemented here. Most of you who've been here for a long time, will not notice any change. New patrons will be charged the moment they sign up, in order to access the appropriate blog content, and will therefor be subsequently charged again at the beginning of each month.
If you have any questions about how it will work, you can go here and scroll down to peruse the FAQ.https://patreon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/210291283
What this DOES mean for everybody going forward is that I will be able to host the comic content here, instead of using links to my website sent as private messages to the over one thousand of you who are subscribed. Since the charge upfront option effectively creates a paywall, I'll be able to share .zip files of comic content in blog entries, directly.
This means no more waiting on the system to send out private messages to zillions of people, hoping the system is done processing everyone.
I'm going to implement this today. Tomorrow, I will be posting an entry that constitutes the content of private messages sent out at the beginning of July to $6+ subscribers, so those who are new instant-charged patrons will have access to July's rewards. From that point on, adult comic updates will resume as usual around the 5th of each month.
The updated comic pages for the Aron project were sent out today, and I want to thank you all for your continued patronage. This is turning into a long comic, but I'm probably going to wrap it up this month.
I had a lot of fun doing the Mary Ann character update picture last month, as well. I may have some ideas brewing for some future images and stories. Asking me "if I have a comic planned for this" every time I draw something is a little overboard. The answer is always "maybe". I generally just don't know right away after doing something. But patience is often rewarded.
But, I am interested in hearing your thoughts on the digital drawing and sketching, versus the traditional way to do these images. Is one preferred? Do you even notice a substantial difference?
Thanks everyone!
-Jay
Some late afternoon Mary Ann digital scribbles. Keeping up practice.
I finished this nude version up today, and I'm pleased with how it is. But I messed up when it came to compressing the video before uploading. I had the entire process recorded, and it was a little over an hour long. The program I use to process the video to make it smaller prompted me to overwrite the existing video and I accidentally hit "yes". The result isn't an overwrite, since it's overwriting the same file it's trying to process. So, I ended up with only the first three seconds of the video as the only file, and everything else gone.
I'm so sorry!
Here's the final image from the workflow video. Still on the fence about the all digital drawing style, but we'll see. I still want to practice more. I'll be doing a nude version of this just for Patreon patrons.
Finished this one up. It's a tad long because I wanted to go ahead and wrap up the pic.
The shade layers, and a couple more adjustments.
This video is about an hour long, putting the inky lines all over that sketch, as well as making a few adjustments. Making her nude will be a video available to the $12 tiers, here, and the finished picture will be available to all tiers.
A conversation with some $12+ tier patrons resulted in the inspiration to draw Mary Ann at 30. I also wanted to practice digital sketching. Well, I had some spare time this afternoon, and did a work video, because I also want to populate my Youtube channel a bit more.
I put her in a bikini for the sake of Youtube, but I'll be sharing the process of nuding her up, here, for Patreon.
MKX's warmup sketch for this month. A little more Hilde action.
Sharing another work video with you $12+ tiers, and asking for a bit of feedback if you have any. Asking mainly for feedback on the kinds of themes you'd like to see in my work, fetishes, depraved contexts, etc. I work in a pretty wide range of them, so I'm kind of taking a pulse on if I should focus on something specific in the near future.
I've decided to start capturing video of what I do when I'm done with work for the day. Might as well start populating this youtube channel that I've had, forever.
Not sure why. I'm contacting smarter people than myself to find out why it's a Dreamhost placeholder right now.
This is Goddess Mar's warmup commission request for this month. You know I always love being asked to draw my own folks.
Something just for fun after work today. As I started to think up a little history for the black poodle, Marcus, I wanted to give him an older sister.
If you don't remember Marcus, he's the guy who had Rachel by the leash in an older image, and I have plans for him in her twisted world.http://jaynaylor.com/images6/jn-Marcus-sktch.jpg
OL 590 is up now. I'm indulging my other hobby a little.
The shade layer. I've always kinda liked cartoon scenes that were self contained in the center of the image. I'm glad this worked out well. I will color this later.
Goth Skunk's warmup for this month was to have me color his last month's sketch commission.
A better encapsulation of the mood I was trying to convey with the first time I took on this theme for them. I wanted a little proof of concept, here, drawing the entire couch around the characters and practicing warped cushions and an otherwise natural character presence (blah blah blah).
Will definitely finish in time.
OL 589 is up, now, kinda wrapping up this little plot arc. Sorry the last page took a while. It's been a busy week!
Links to the continuation of the Aron comic were sent out this morning, to all the processed $6+ pledges. I'm enjoying working on this comic quite a bit, and I thank you all for your support! Some people were having problems with getting the links to work. If they're showing up as "missing content" in your browser, try to reload, or merely copy the address and paste it into your browser. That seems to work.
The Best Laid Mistress is now a year old, and has been included in the back issue list for $6+ patrons.
I'm thinking of implementing Patreon's new "charge now" system, which will charge new patrons as soon as they make their pledges. I'm doing pretty well right now, and so there's no sense of urgency in the decision, but it's something I'm thinking about. Current recurring patrons will not see any changes if and when I do. But it will curtail the rhythm of pledge/cancel used to mine the blog for free.
It's been a great month! I kind of want to do more little one-page comics for character development, similar to the one I posted for Lynne. I think it'd be nice to make more of this blog character-driven, not just pinup driven.
Thanks!
-Jay
Permissiveness takes the fun out everything for Lynne. I sketched this up as a possible prelude to a full fledged comic idea.
N's warmup commission for May. Say bye to May with a heaping load of gay.
Goth Skunk's warmup for this month. He wanted something akin to the Beth image i drew a while ago.
It's come to my attention that at least one person was getting some fan grief for using their Patreon sketch commission slot to auction and resell and do whatever to either mitigate the price or make a profit.
I have no problem with this.
As long as my business relationship on this end remains simple and meets my terms for the pledge, I'm fine. As long as I get the information without complications and issues, in a timely manner, I don't care about the process on the pledge holder's end. People doing this doesn't change my obligation, work load, or income.
This may put an end to people who want to create a fuss over nothing. Thanks!
Goddess Mar's warmup for this month - another coloration of a prior month's warmup.
OL 588 is up, now.http://jaynaylor.com/originallife/
Cobalt's warmup this month is the coloration of a prior month's sketch. I'm kind of going through all the colorations I have, first.
This was basically a pose I wanted to try, and I think it came out okay enough to color.
MKXs warmup commission for this month. There are a lot of commissions this month asking to color prior month's work.
Able to wrap this up before the work for May gets into full swing.
Something I started on last night and finished the shades, just now, as I was doing a work video for the $12+ tiers. Will color.
More work! This time working on a picture of Hilde at the nude beach while answering questions posted on the last work video from all of you $12+ tier holders. It's kinda lengthy at about 50 minutes.
It's the beginning of a new month, and I can tell we have a lot of new pledgers because I'm always inundated with messages wondering where people can find comics, and/or why links haven't been sent out, yet. So, this is largely for the new pledgers who haven't experienced this before.
I send out links to the adult comic pages I've been working on through the month, as a private message to all pledgers. I also share back issues going back to 2007, now. As for recent comics, I don't share back issues that are younger than a year old, to be fair to those who have had their pledges in for a long time.
I send out one massive message to all approved pledges once they're finished and Patreon sends me the payout. Because we have so many patrons, it usually takes until the 5th. Sometimes it takes until the 6th. But around that time, the links go out as a private message.
Links change sometimes, so be sure (and feel free) to save all the files you want to keep on your computer.
Thanks!
OL 587 is up. Beth wraps up her coffee-fueled tirade.
Wrapped this up this afternoon. I'm mixed on how it came out.
Here's another work video for the $12+ tiers, as usual, open to questions and such here. This time I talk a little bit about Cottonwine, the Aron comic, some more about video games. When I do another one, I will probably go through all of the unanswered questions from the last time I did an "ask" event, that I couldn't get to with an illustration.
I wanted to try this stretching pose angle for Hilde. I'll finish coloring it in my spare time.
OL 586 is up.http://jaynaylor.com/originallife/
N's warmup commission for this month is coloring one of his sketch commissions from last year.
This month's warmup for Goth Skunk is a coloring of his prior warmup commission.
Aron's project is in full swing. I still haven't settled on a final title, but there it goes. The inner workings of his mind unfold, here, and it's almost the sort of comic that could go on for a very long time. I'm not sure how you patrons feel about a comic that just goes on for a long time as the months unfold, but this could be one. I mostly worry about myself wanting to diverge to other things in the meantime, but bear in mind, given Patreon's format, I can easily bounce around.
OL 585 is up, now.http://jaynaylor.com/originallife/
Was doing some warmups of some random new ladies which may serve a purpose. I wanted the beagle to be the kind of ordinary looking sort who isn't necessarily foxy or adorably cute, but still look good. The rabbit I wanted to practice a naturally very thin, almost androgynous female figure.
Rise of the Wolf Queen 4 was sent out, along with a slew of back issues. Patreon's new message system seems to handle the mass messaging used to share links. Not sure why it took a tad longer for Patreon to process things, this month, but it wasn't too much longer than usual.
Work on Aron's comic has already started, and I'm looking forward to getting away from wolves for a while. Thank you all!
Comic posts haven't gone out yet because Patreon hasn't sent the payout of processed orders, yet. Usually it happens on the 5th, but things seem to be running a little late. Soon as it does happen, I will be sending out the links to processed $6+ tiers.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
Hello, everyone! I'm heading off to Furry Weekend Atlanta tomorrow and so I won't be around for a few days. Everything I plan to share with the $6+ tiers is ready to go for when I get back. I should be getting back on the 4th of April, and all pledges should be finished processing by around the 5th as usual, so nothing will be delayed in that respect.
To fend off the usual questions:
- I'm not working the convention
- I'm not taking commissions on the spot
- I'm just going to meet and talk to my friends as a regular attendee
Back to regularly scheduled updates and communication on Tuesday. Thank you all!
Sherri Mayim's warmup for this month, coloring last month's.
Max's warmup for this month, coloring last month's sketch commission.
OL 584 is now up.http://jaynaylor.com/originallife/
Patreon's been doing a good job listening to their clients and have been implementing improvements. I'm pretty impressed. They've changed the messaging system to be a little easier to track, more like a regular email system, where you can see correspondence with others off to the side, in the order in which they come. This makes it easier to deal with receiving multiple messages without a lot of backtracking.
They've also implemented the ability to ban patrons from pledging. This is a tool to combat people who repeatedly cancel their pledges after viewing and saving an artist's pledge-only content. Creators get email notifications for ever pledge they receive, and if we notice the same name pledging repeatedly, and we visit their user page and find they have no current pledge, we can deduce that they're pledging, saving content, and canceling. Sometimes these pledges correspond with new items added to Patreon, only to be canceled minutes after they're made. Now, creators have the ability to block user accounts from making future pledges when they notice this.
It's not something that affects my account to a great degree, since we're pretty successful here, and I really love all of you for making a great fanbase for my work. But there were a couple of accounts doing this and it's good to know that it's less of a sure way to game the system, now.
Warmup sketch commission for Cobalt Dawg. I decided to do two warmup sketch commissions, today. I've never felt more warmed up in my entire life.
Anubis' warmup sketch for this month. There was an emphasis on the size difference between the two characters, here. Drawing it made me feel like Zaush.
Worked a little late on Friday to wrap this one up. I'm liking it a lot. Beth's hips sometimes give me trouble as I often make them wider than they should be while drawing on auto-pilot. But they're about right, here.
Some lines I worked on that I will shade up and color for Patreon in time. I wasn't too pleased with the last image of Beth holding her own leash, so I decided to put a little more detail into this one, focusing on softer lines and the detail of her hair.
Goth Skunk's warmup sketch for this month, featuring Brooke.
N's warmup commission for this month was the coloring of a prior month's warmup sketch.
http://jaynaylor.com/originallife/
OL 583 is now up. I'm sorry it took a while. Things were pretty busy for a bit. And also, I'm a little remiss that after a few weeks, the new page is a small transition page - but those pages are necessary for the overall arc. I'm going to work to have another page ready before the end of this week.
Thanks!
Another work video for the $12 tiers. This one went a little long to the tune of about 40 minutes. It involves working on a page from the latest Wolf Queen comic. I think it's vague enough to prevent spoiling.
If you have any questions you'd like me to expound upon in upcoming videos, please feel free to ask them here.
MKX's warmup for this month was to color the sketch commission from a prior month.
Aron has no issues finding sexual partners, but it's always the ones who are off limits that drive you nuts.
Started coloring the picture I shaded yesterday, and I answered the questions I got to the last video in this one, for you $12+ tiers.
Thanks!
A work in progress for a picture of Aron and Trixie. They're just friends. They don't have sex. But that doesn't stop Aron from staring and wishing every time they hang out. This might make an interesting series chronicling Trixie's oblivious teasing.
I will color this.
As promised, I'm getting back into the work videos for the $12 tiers. Kind of a reintroduction and to reopen the comments section for more questions that I can answer in future videos. So, if you have any questions that can open up topics to discuss in future videos, let me know. Thanks and enjoy!
General updates for comics, as well as an archive of back issues through 2012 were sent out to $6+ tiers on Sunday. The 5th is the customary date I send things out, because that's the date when Patreon sends all the money they've processed for last month's pledges, to my account. I noticed there do appear to be a small handful of pledges which are processed after the 5th, and I'm wondering if I shouldn't push the rewards message to the 6th of the month, just to minimize the number of those straggling accounts which not yet be processed by the 5th. I only get a message about it from maybe one person every few months, so I'm thinking it's not that big of a problem. As patronage grows, and I get more messages about it, I may move the date up.
A few things to look forward to. I'm going to be doing more work videos for the $12 tiers. I'll be finishing up the fourth installment of the Rise of the Wolf Queen this month, and starting into a story about Aron. I tend to do adult stories from a female perspective, and I'm interested in doing one from a male perspective, this time around.
The end of the Wolf Queen story will kind of set the Cottonwine world at an equilibrium. I think it will be the final chapter in the theme of the "animal races seducing human women" vein, for a long time. It's kind of run its course in my mind and I'm not inspired to keep doing comics about it hoping lightning strikes again with the same popularity of the first Red Riding Hood comic. The universe will still be there for expanding upon and world building, and there's part of me that still wants to do a world guide of some kind.
February was the best month, so far. Thank you all for helping make this such a success.
-Jay
PS: ALSO! Because this just came up. Those who manually type in $6 to pledge, instead of clicking the $6 pledge link with the reward on my front page, are signing up to pledge that amount while declining their rewards. If you do that, you won't be included in the mass message that goes out to give the $6+ tiers their rewards. Please cancel your pledge and re-pledge through the link on my front page for the $6 reward tier, and you will receive rewards like everyone else in the future.
Sherri's rough sketch commission for the month of February.
Syphon's warmup sketch commission from February.
The end of February always creeps up on me! Even with the extra day.
I still have some Patreon commission sketches to complete and I plan to make sure those gets done before this weekend. Progress is continuing on the Wolf Queen's last installment and everything's on a good track. A few things I hope to do is make a few more work videos for the $12+ tiers, and let them ask questions I can answer by voice when the time comes.
Also, I'm considering sending out comic pages and back issues to the $6+ tiers on the 6th, instead of the 5th, as is custom. I've noticed that even though Patreon sends me the monthly payout on the 5th, there are still a handful of accounts that don't get processed until after that date.
Also, another curious note: I got a message from someone asking me a question, after they had their payment processed, and then they canceled their pledge so it wouldn't recur. For some reason, the messaging system works fine for everyone who has pledge with me, but I can't send a message to reply to someone who doesn't have a pledge. The "send" button just loads and resets and the message isn't sent. Maybe it's just the case with this one person in particular, but if you send me something and don't have a pledge, and I don't reply, and you read this by some off-chance, maybe contact me via email and I'll reply.
Thank you all!

I needed a quick Trixie break, and I wanted to play around with a bit of softer shading.
Cobalt Dawg's warmup sketch commission for this month.
OL 581 is up.http://jaynaylor.com/originallife/
Right now I've lined up more back issues for processed $6+ tiers, but the patron manager page is a little broken and I'm unable to mass-select entire tiers, right now. This is a pretty essential tool for me, since I have too many patrons to click individually, and it's a way to select those who actually pay for rewards.
I've put in a note to Patreon about the issue, since I noticed it yesterday and it wasn't resolved this morning. Soon as that feature is restored, I'll be sending out links to the 2007, 2008, and 2009 back issues, with more to come before the end of February.
Thanks for your patience!
Goth Skunk's warmup sketch for this month, featuring Persia and Flounce.
I've been hitting Saturdays pretty hard, lately, and recovering on Sunday. I knocked out these sketches for the fun of it to get more of a hang of Hilde.
Any questions you ask me about her, including the ubiquitous and unrelenting "will she be in a comic", I can't expound on in this stage of her development.
This was done for a couple who are close friends of mine. I messed up the angle of her right leg as its incongruous with the plane everything else is resting on, but I didn't notice it until I had completed it.
Anubis' warmup sketch commission for this month, featuring Brooke. Since the guy she's with is a normal rat, and not a weirdo species, I went along with it.

Working on the new dobe some more. Trying to practice her type of body, which is pretty much the opposite of Brooke. She's long, thin, with big boobs and a small butt.
OL 579 is now up.http://jaynaylor.com/originallife/
Messages to $6+ tiers were sent out with the last three pages of Dog Days - completing the comic, and the first four pages of Rise of the Wolf Queen 4, in progress. Also sent out was a zip file of all of my comics from 2007, and a zip of Wolf Queen 3, which was the first project I did exclusively for Patreon over a year ago.
January was the best month so far, and I have all of you to thank. You're the best fan base an artist could ask for.
I was a little at a loss for what to do during a scrap of free time I had, today, so I went back to my old pool of collected "ask" questions from last year and found something to illustrate as a warmup.
I spent a bit of this afternoon compressing my back issue comics, from 2007 to 2014 into easily downloadable .zip files for $6+ patrons, as previously promised. Each .zip contains the entire year of work, so each is around 18 to 35mb in size. I'm hoping the lot of you going there won't overburden my host. Therefor, I'll be releasing the years sporadically to the $6 tiers, probably about once every three or four days, instead of all at once, through February. So if you're in the $6 tier, you may see quite a few messages from me this month.
However, the comics starting in 2015 represent the work I've done on and for Patreon, and not on my catalog. Therefor, I'm not going to release them in batches, but I'll be offering .zips of individual comics from 2015, after they're (roughly) about a year old. So, the next batch of completed comic pages I send out in a message to the $6 tier will also include a .zip file containing Rise of the Wolf Queen: part 3 - the first comic done on Patreon, but not on my website's (now broken) catalog.
I'm hoping this is a suitable compromise between those who come in late and still wants to see back issues, and people who have been here for a long time and earned each prior comic as they came out.
Thank you!
I was remarking to friends how much I wanted to design a nice female doberman character, and my friend Larka began to immediately bombard me with her sapphic fantasies.

Goth Skunk's warmup sketch for this month.
Wrapped this up today to launch the new project. It will have some opening dialog as well as the title, as is per how I do things now.
Looks like my Patreon steering committee tier has elected for me to conclude the final chapter of Rise of the Wolf Queen for my next project. Not a bad choice. I feel the story has kinda lingered for a bit and I need to give this arc some finality. So I started on this drawing as the first page/cover for chapter 4.
Mar's warmup commission for this month is a colorization of an older sketch done for her.
MKX's warmup was another colorization. There's a few of those this month, and I'm completing them first.

Dog Days is almost completed as a project, and it's going to be up to you guys to decide what I should do next. I've boiled it down to three projects I want to do, and that will get done this year regardless of what is next. However, you have to help me decide what you want to see worked on next.
I'm basically tallying votes from you guys, so giving me a list of the order you'd like to see things in will cause me to just register a vote for the first thing you list. Giving me either-or answers with multiple projects that seem equally desired will cause me to not count your vote at all. The three projects:
Rachel - The still untitled next chapter of Rachel's life, where she comes under the sway of a man who has the ability to seize full possession of her. Themes will be psychological, kinky sex, risky sex, group sex, sex with strangers - you know, Rachel stuff.
Rise of the Wolf Queen 4 - The final chapter of this particular arc, which will set the equilibrium of the Cottonwine world, for now, and establish the two main characters, as they endure and overcome the trials of being slave to a hostile wolf clan. Themes will be group sex, slavery, breeding, ritual, primitivization - wolf stuff.
Aron - A story about Aron's relationship life has bubbled up and needs to be told. It'll be told from his perspective, the girls he's seeing, what he likes about them, and how some of them compete with each other. Themes will be - male perspective, psychological, kinky sex, funny moments, different women.
First warmup of 2016 was a colorization of Sherri's prior warmup sketch commission. I know the date still says 2015 on the piece because I just left the signature data intact.
OL 575 is up.http://jaynaylor.com/originallife/
I've decided to do a 180 and not post Original Life pages on my Patreon feed. I was looking at my page today, and noting the very evident "Jay Naylor is creating erotic comics and illustrations" along with all the other adult-oriented trappings around the page, and I didn't want to give the impression that *all* the characters (mainly the young ones) were somehow here to promote or be tied to adult material, or engender the expectation that they may become explicitly sexualized in an adult project.
So, I've deleted the entries. I think when I update OL, to give you all a chance to comment, I may just make a text announcement with a link to my personal site's comic page so it can be read, there.
Sorry for any confusion. I think this is a better way to keep things separated. Thank you!
A drawing experiment with posture and such. I'll be coloring it for Patreon, later!
Aron's life is getting complicated.
Because what I need is yet another character. Actually, a long time ago, I was tasked with sketching a toppish black male poodle in a commission and I liked the design idea so much I thought about utilizing a similar character in stories in the future. As I search for the man who would come to control Rachel's life, I thought of this kind of dandy, possibly-bisexual, well groomed intelligent hedonist. Still pondering a name.
The updates to Lupe's "Dog Days" comic were sent out. I wish I was able to get more done on it during the holidays, but I intend to have it finished, and the new comic started, by the end of January. The steering committee tiers will be allowed to sound off on what I do next, when the time comes.
I'm going to still do some of the "Ask" segments I opened to the higher tiers, but probably not at a quick clip. I still want to be able to do detailed pictures and character sketches and such. If I don't get to your question, it just means I haven't thought of anything clever to say in response. Holidays are always so disruptive. I can't wait to settle back into my usual rhythm.
It feels nice to be thinking of Original Life stories again. I hope a PG-13 comic isn't too out of place here, but since it's now on a sporadic schedule, I figure people who are watching me deserve to be notified when a new comic goes up.

Patreon's having issues where sometimes cards are being declined. I had my own and had to rely on a paypal backup, despite there being no issue with the card. In my experience, these are often caused by processing companies more than the banks that hold the cards, but whatev.
If you're having decline issues, just be sure to update your payment settings to add an alternate form of payment for Patreon. Hopefully, it squares itself out soon.
2015 was an awesome year. We got a lot done and I'm so glad you all have expressed a desire to continue support. I appreciate you more than you realize. Big things to look forward to in 2016:
- Original Life is continuing. I wasn't pleased with the other start, which got heavier than I wanted and was mmmm... but I've wrapped up the school photo bit and am moving into other new plots. In addition to posting the new pages on my site where I always have, I'm going to include them here as a public feature. This will allow pledge holders to leave comments as pages come out, if they so please. Original Life will have a sporadic as-I-finish-pages schedule.
- Past comic archives. I'm going to start archiving all my old back issue adult comics, probably as .zip files, and sharing them here over time. Kinda roughly sharing them after they're about a year old. I'll be keeping URLs to the zip links on hand for easy sharing among processed $6 pledges.
- Going to tryyyyyyy to see if I can resurrect the old website catalog. I can't promise I can, but for people who still prefer it, I hope to make it an option again.
- I have a billion more "ask" questions to go through and illustrate, but I also want to get back to doing more detailed finished stand-alone pictures.
Thank you all for making 2015 great. 2016 should be even better!

Goth Skunk had me working on this piecemeal over the months. I think he intends to add material in the empty space off to the side, and this is just a template.
Sherri's warmup sketch commission for this month.
Beth's old jadedness emerges frequently. I intend to develop her even further, next year.
I figure this might be a lot of fun. The answers will be viewable to all pledges, but only the $12+ tiers will be able to ask questions.
Patreon finally made their pledge total adjustment live for all to see. So, no, tons of people didn't suddenly just cancel their pledges, but Patreon finally implemented their method of subtracting fees and previous month's declined transactions, to display a more accurate estimate of what an artist's payout will actually be, instead of just a gross pledge total.
In case you were wondering. :3
These are some Red sketches a did a while ago and forgot about. So I decided to close out my working day, today, by shading them up and sharing them.
I wanted to draw a highly detailed close up of Lynne having sex and peeing at the same time, so I drew a highly detailed close up of Lynne having sex and peeing at the same time.
It's been another great month. I wanted to thank you all, even though it seems like I do it all the time. I mean it regardless.
I added an answer to the FAQ "I've made a $6 pledge, now where do I get the comics?" to my Patreon homepage. Hopefully, it will severely cut down on the amount of times I have to answer this, individually.
I've started working on Original Life pages again, but I don't want to show anything until I've got a good rhythm going, and I'm happy with it. I've ditched the Veronika story, because I wasn't happy with it. The pages in progress are a continuation from the little school picture day arc.
I'm thinking of inviting the $12+ pledge tiers to an "ask" event sometime, where they can ask characters specific questions, goofy or serious, and give illustrated responses to as many as I can - possibly as an alternative to doing other side-art for the month.
I'm probably not going to do another YCH for a very long time. The real reason is that I really just don't have to, and that's because of you helping to make this Patreon page so successful. So thank you. <3
-Jay
Finished up this image which will become the new header for the Patreon page. Was a pleasure to do.
The intent of this is to create a new header "banner" style image. Patreon is changing its layout soon and they've given me a preview, and it stretches the current image across the top of the page, with all the predictable degradation in quality. The image I currently have just wasn't really designed for anything other than normal viewing. So, when I color this one up, it'll become the new header.
More chit chat and talking to the $12+ patrons. I chat a bit about Fallout and then what I'm going to do in the future with releasing comic back issues, future comics, and Original Life.
November's warm up sketch commission for Anubis.
Hello, everyone! Still getting the last of the November commissions done, and then around the 5th, like every month, I'll be asking for more info for December from the $50 commissioners. Also a reminder that around then, the comic links to the completed Brooke comic will be sent out, along with the beginning of the Lupe project.
Thank you again!
Was able to wrap this up today. Been a pretty hectic end of the month. I'm still running just a teensy bit behind.
MKXs warmup sketch commission for November. Red's pretty popular, I guess.
N continues his rich tradition of ensuring part of my commission list remains uncomfortably gay. :3
The final product of the YCH collaboration with Iskra. Not sure I'll do another one of these after the time it took communicating back and forth and working to get styles to join up. But nonetheless, it came out decently.
Thanksgiving week is upon me and my production time in the day is clipped due to social obligations. Nonetheless, work plows ahead at a decent clip. I'll have new material next week and plenty of nice new comic pages for the $6+ patrons to look at on the 5th of December.
I'm also probably going to get a jumpstart on posting some back issues in December. When I say back issues, I mean way back issues.
Have a good holiday if you celebrate it. Thanks!
Andrew's warmup sketch commission for this month.
Took a little break from all the porn to draw this. Her butt's gotten a little bigger, probably from all the jogging and pie.
Warwolf's warmup sketch commission for this month, featuring Fisk and Red.
Just a weird little idea involving Red and her coffee.
Sherri wanted me to color last month's sketch for this month's commission.
Patreon's just now changed how they display pledge totals to more accurately reflect an artist's actual earnings. So it looks like a huge dip, but it actually excludes the pledges that were declined in the prior month and also estimates the transaction fees and subtracts those, as well, showing a more accurate total.
If anyone notices it with alarm, it's okay. There's no mass exodus, but instead a more accurate accounting of probable monthly income.
Thank you guys for your support. After over a year of doing this, I wouldn't have thought it would be this successful. Thank you!
Broken ground on the new Lupe comic. Working on the different phases of her life will be an interesting experience.
Colton continues his tradition of asking me to draw and color things I'd gladly do. This was colored from a prior sketch warmup commission.
Some roughs that I worked up tonight for the heck of it. The sequence with Red drinking coffee will probably be turned into something finished during the month.
The comic links for Twice As Hot were sent out to the processed $6+ patrons just moments ago. It's turning out to be more pages than I anticipated. It looks like it's going to be a 17 page comic when all is done, and I haven't done one of those in a while.
Part of me is wondering if it's okay to do a long format like that, now that I'm no longer pressured to constrain comic content under my catalog system, yet that kind of thinking still exists in my mind. I wonder how patrons, and my inspiration, would respond to a long-form comic, like something that has a lot of facets, a lot of serial possibilities, that spans a long time.
Either way, when I'm done with Brooke's comic I'll be starting on Lupe, and that work will probably carry me into next year.
Speaking of next year, I'm going to start sharing back issues with $6+ patrons, starting with the oldest of the oldest comics that I've done, in .zip form, here. It's the compromise I've settled on after deliberating what to do about it for a while. My super old stuff is embarrassing, but people want to see it, so... there you go.
Twenty years of doing adult comics, and more to come.
Red with coffee is a muse that returns every few months. It's hard for me to draw faces in straight-on perspective and have everything come out correctly, so this was practice for me.
Sherri's sketch commission for October. Forgot to post it after she approved it.
I couldn't let myself have the day off for Halloween until I finished drawing all these dog butts. Kind of a redo of an old picture I did which you can see here:https://d.facdn.net/art/fisk/1339461069/1339461069.fisk_jn-samanthasbitches.jpg
Will color in time.
Goth Skunk's warmup sketch commission for this month.
Andrew Smith's warm up sketch commission for this month.
This month's sketch commission for Anubis. Ancient Egyptian gods are always good to work with.
Something to wrap up on a lazy Sunday. These pictures are easy because Mary and Audrey are just one color, compared to all the Brooke pages I've been working on.
This month's warmup sketch commission for Max Coyote. For your morning dose of gay.
Another size difference themed piece for Audrey and Mary. Kinda had to struggle to keep Audrey's penis size in character compared to Mary's considerable size. I'll work to color this in time, no doubt.
Goddess Mar's warmup sketch commission for this month.
MKX wanted a pic of the wolfess from Rise of the Wolf Queen being fertilized.
Hello, $12 patrons! I finally get around to answering some questions from last time - questions about my schedule, how I find time for video games, the Cottonwine creatures, and about internet criticism over free things.
I'd like to make this a more regular thing, but it's hard for me to adhere to a schedule. I'd like to maybe do a once a week sort of thing.
Anyway, if you have anything you want me to address in my next video, please share it in the comments here, or send it to me any other way you can. Thank you!
Colton's warmup commission colorfying a prior commission.
Finished up the lines for this in preparation for coloring. This weekend will be pretty busy with social occasions as it's my birthday, so I probably won't have new work to show until next week. :3
The latest finished YCH commission from Fur Affinity. Probably won't do these at the pace I have been. Pulling back on it for October.
Wrapped this up. The comforter pattern was drawn free hand, which took as much time as coloring the ladies.
Things are swimming along. I didn't get as much work done last month as I wanted. I suppose that's something I can say every month, honestly, but I didn't get as much done in September as I expected to get done. This was due to medical issues and scheduling them and it kinda backed everything up.
The new Brooke pages have gone out. I don't have any cleared-pledge exclusives to send out in a message this month, but I hope to have more than one next month. In October, I plan to double down on having Brooke's comic completed, as well as have more new content here for you fine patrons.
Thank you all for your patience and your patronage!
Sometimes when my ideas for individual images are scant, I just fill a sketchbook page with poses and quickies, and usually more than one good idea comes from it. This is one such page I decided to fill this evening. I will probably eventually use all of the ideas on the left side of this page.
Patreon sent out a message a bit ago about the hack of their site. Far as I can tell, nothing super sensitive or embarrassing goes on here; it's all just business. But it's a good idea to change your passwords if you haven't already.
EDIT - I forgot to mention, but it's worth noting that credit card information isn't on the site, so your money is safe.
A quick follow up video answering the questions I received when I did the last one, questions about process and video game computers. Feel free to ask me anything else that pops into your mind, and I'll jot it down for future videos.
This is Goddess Mar's warm up sketch commission for this month.
Started up these quick lines after regular work, today. At first I was concerned about the acute angle of Audrey's lower back, but it seems to be fine enough to eventually finish and color.
It'd been a while since I did a work chat video for the $12+ tiers, so I put this one together. I chatted about comic ideas, a little bit about the Brooke comic, sharing back issues, and some future comics like the rest of the Wolf Queen series, Lupe, and Rachel. I also rambled on a little bit about video games.
If you at the $12 tiers have any questions you want me to cover, it'll give me the impetus to make more of these, sooner, to answer those questions. Any topic is cool, so please feel free to participate!
This month's sketch commission for Godly Anubis. This is really pushing the envelope for the level of complexity I can provide for these.
General announcement time. I've been wondering what to do about this for a while, and I think I'm going to go ahead with this.
First off, the catalog on the website jaynaylor.com has been down for a while. It's been an old rickety code for a long time, and has always kinda been dangling by a thread. Unfortunately, I haven't had the resources to update it for years; I've been unable to find anyone who knows what they're doing with it, and have been unable to have the person who created it set aside the time to update it. His life is just way too busy, now. The catalog code stopped working a bit ago, and that was well after Patreon accounted for the overwhelming bulk of my income, so it's not a loss for me. But it is a loss for people who want to come in and access back issues. The reason I can't just offer back issues to new pledges is that it's unfair to those who've been supporting me since those comics came out, for new people to just pop in with a single new $6 pledge and scoop up everything.
So, my plan is to distribute the back issues on Patreon, one at a time, about a year after they've already been completed. I'll probably distribute them in the form of downloadable .zip files, starting next year, on the blog roll, as a suitable compromise. I'm interested in your feed back on this.
This started out as "I'll just sketch this out tonight after my main work." Then I cleaned it up. Then I decided to shade it. Then I thought, well, what the fuck, and I ended up coloring it in the same evening.
This month's sketch commission for N, w/penis impishly askew.
Had to practice some pregnancy, as I have a feeling it will be changing Lupe's body, soon. I'll be coloring this later.
FINALLY got around to finishing this latest YCH won by Nasido. I'm probably going to have to start being more firm with my gender slot definitions, since girly men are starting to try to muscle in on all this action reserved for "feminine" character slots. Ah well.
Sherri wanted a prior commission colored for this month. Happy to oblige.
I'm not normally one to discuss personal things, here, but it does pertain to my schedule. I had minor surgery today - nothing serious, but it's the first time I've ever been put under for anything. I feel good and lucid, but the run-up was a little stressful and I've fallen behind on some of my planned work.
I should be back up and rolling tomorrow, getting things done, and kicking ass. I'll start knocking out the rest of my commission sketches owed for this month.
Thanks for understanding!
I did this a bit ago as pose practice, but decided on a lazy Sunday, to finish it with some extra color and some text. Just for fun. Sharing with everyone.
Able to wrap this puppy up, today. No plans for her in the foreseeable future, but this was fun to work on.
Colton had me put a color layer on one of his prior sketch commissions for this contribution this month. I think it came out well!
This was a birthday commission request for my dear friends Genwyn and Sparky.
Still tweaking Ellie's design. One patron noted that she didn't look "borzoi" enough, due to the usual method of accenting foreheads on cartoon characters that I gravitate towards. I curved her nose and tried to not make her brow so high this time. Also, tall and lean, with long limbs - she's essentially the physical opposite of Trixie.
I'll be coloring this over time, and posting the results here.
Thanks again for a great month, everybody! I want to say I'm sorry I haven't had time to continue Original Life. It may just not be in the cards, despite me trying to put the time aside. I have so many hours in the day I can work before my work starts to suck, or become uninspired. It's hard for me to even tell what kind of a schedule I can maintain with it. I wish I had more time, or didn't have to sleep, or something... I may keep trying, though.
Secondly, concerning the $50 commission sketch slots. I'm flattered with how eager people are to get in on them. But there's a phenomenon cropping up where people are saving their pledges up and then asking me for additional levels of finishing on top of sketching and shading, like color and what not. I'm going to have to lay down some rules about this (and the commission slot in general):
1.) After September, you will not be able to "save up" your $50 pledges and then dump on me the task of doing color commissions. As commissioners notice other commissioners doing this, more people are starting to ask for it. What I thought would be one here and there, is turning into a trend, and it's stretching what I can comfortably get done in a month. The reason I limited the slots to 10 is because I envisioned 10 one-and-done sketches I could do as warm-ups in the mornings before work. If people pile up their contributions and then expect me to produce 2 or 3 full color commissions in the course of a month, it's going to eat into everything else I can do during that month, especially when they start stretching and pushing the included details, saying things like, "Three character full color right? Right?" and I can see their expectations heaped up because I wrote "three-ish characters" for the sketch commissions, imagining they'd be simple sketches with minimal backgrounds.
One YCH commission goes for *way* more than $150. You will not get a "fully finished" piece, full color, clean crisp lines, full background, for three months worth of pledges.
2.) Some people have wanted to divide the progress of their piece per month. This is more tenable because it breaks up the time involved, rather than trying to dump a whole color commission on me after months of build up. I'm not the biggest fan of this because I don't like pictures to linger, but at least I can plan for it. If commissioners want to me to lay colors on a black and white shaded sketch I did for them in a prior month, I don't mind doing this as their commission for this month.
3.) After September, you have to get your commission info to me in the month when your commission is expected. It puts a rush on me when someone fails to contact me and then next month says "you owe me for two months". I have a lot on my plate and I can't keep track of everyone's individual owings and doings. I can't send out messages and friendly reminders every month to people who seem blithely uninterested in getting in touch with me about the commission slot they're sitting on. This is your responsibility. If you fail to get with me on a month, we might be able to work something out if it's simple, but I won't take a rush, and won't let you pile on two commissions in one month because you reserved a slot and then went on vacation in The Yukon without the internet for 5 weeks.
I send out requests for commission information to commission slot holders early in the month, usually around the 5th. Please respond in a timely fashion.
4.) Lastly, not really a rule, but just a reminder: I can't "manually" create or manage commission slots for anybody. Patreon's system does that, and it's the *only* thing that can do that. I can't take Paypal payments, or whatever, for commission slots and commissions, because your card was declined or the bank messed up, or your paycheck is late, or whatever. Patreon controls this system and they're entitled to their cut. Paypal isn't. I can't reserve slots for people, or create them, or work "under the table".
If you're always on the wire, not saving any money from month to month - if you're waiting on paychecks before you can fulfill your pledges - if you're hoping the money gets in the bank before Patreon processes your pledge, it might be in your long term financial interest to let your slot go to someone else.
Thank you all!
I warmed up this morning with Ellie the Borzoi. I sketched her a couple of times, a few years ago, and I keep tweaking her. I've really been into the whole "girl next door" type character, lately.
Will probably be coloring this and adding some dialog, and sharing it with processed pledges.
Latest finished YCH commission. Still doing some of these to account for some recent expenses. :3
Back home and the production can begin anew and afresh tomorrow! Feels good to be back.
I was supposed to go to Eurofurence this year, but things fell through. So I've decided to take another little vacation. I'll be back home and back up to schedule Tuesday of next week.
Take care, and thank you!
For now, I'm tired of doing stand alone covers as an afterthought to a project when I complete all the content. So, I'm seeing how it feels to have a title page that introduces the elements of the story and the setting, before plunging into the more traditional comic pages.
The latest finished YCH I decided to do to help mitigate some upcoming trip costs. I liked practicing the giant paw feet.
Colton's sketch commission for this month, continuing his Mary Ann/Trish buttplay theme, which I'm happy to keep obliging.
The line art to a picture that will most likely become the cover to the comic featuring Brooke. I'm going to do the cover, first, this time, and let it establish some initial dialog and setting, and see how that feels.
I've completed Marital Aid, but I haven't started on the next project, yet. As it is, I wasn't ready to offer the Brooke comic up for vote at the time, because I didn't quite have it nailed down. But I do now. So, I'm going to give people a chance to sound off on it.
Lupe's canine preference was dominating the last poll list. Where I do a time lapse over her years of repeated canine pregnancies. You can let me know, here, if you'd rather see Lupe's comic over Brooke's comic, next. Both are going to get done, but this is for which one I work on next. Brooke's comic would be about her ongoing affair with her coach, Brice. It'll be playful, taboo, and mildly dysfunctional.
Please leave your comment!
Some sketches I did after work, today. I want to clean and color them, eventually. Brooke continues to evolve. My vision of her was that girl with an edge to her attitude, who's not the most "cute" or "foxy" girl, but she has the kind of personality that says she'll do it all.
Worked on this pose for practice and fun. A few iffy things on it but I went ahead and decided to finish it, anyway.
Hello, everyone! "Marital Aid" is almost finished. It's a pretty concise and short comic, but one I wanted to do for a while. With that, I have a list of the kinds of things I want to do next, and it's up to you to weigh in on it so I can tally up your preferences. The entries below are all working titles, with nothing set in stone.
1.) Rise of the Wolf Queen 4 (final chapter) - The last chapter in this tale of the Inquisitor and her wolf companion, as they successfully infiltrate a hostile wolf tribe. The usual themes for this series will abound. Atmosphere: dark, but hopeful.
2.) Lupe's Lifestyle - I've come up with a way I want to encapsulate Lupe's life in a unique kind of comic that literally will span decades in time lapses, from when she's an adult teenager, to a seasoned mother. Her emphasis on preferring canine lovers will be expressed, with heavy themes of easy sex, human female/canine male, breeding, pregnancy, etc. Atmosphere: light, fertile, steamy
3.) Mai's Dom - Mai and Minh in a comic about Minh's authentic jealousy for the only other male that Mai seems to love. Themes of chastity, teasing, older-man-younger-woman, etc. Atmosphere: steamy, slightly twisted
4.) Audrey and Mary - A little whimsical expose of the sexual roles of Audrey and Mary in their relationship. Various themes of playful dominance, switching, size difference, body worship, etc. Atmosphere: cute and sexy
5.) Rachel's Owner - Swirl deeper into the depravity of Rachel's sexual compulsion and addiction, this time under the ownership of the only kind of man who can handle her without getting burned. Themes about dangerous sex, risky sex, depravity, group sex, voyeurism, teasing, you know.. Rachel stuff. Atmosphere: dark and depraved.
If there's anything I've mentioned in prior polls that I've forgotten here, feel free to bring it up. If there's any *specific* idea (not a general "have these two fuck" idea) that you may have as well, don't hesitation to mention it, as it might snowball into something that interests me.
Thanks!
Decided to make another vid while I was working, today. I ended up talking about video games, superheroes, ethics, and The Watchmen.
A work in progress I'll be finishing in color, and probably sharing with pledges, later.
Wrapped up. Cracker Barrel is kind of a hangover morning thing around these parts.
Godly Anubis' sketch commission for this month.
I was hung over today, so I did this after a bunch of other necessary work. It was just going to be a silly little sketch, but now it's something I want to finish and color in my spare time.
Colton's sketch commission for this month. Second month of a Mary Ann/Trish rimjob picture. I can't complain.
Beth picking up some new skills from Zoe. Really dig how nicely this one came out.
Beth's spending more time with her nudist friends, learning new skills. Will be coloring this in my spare time.
Goth Skunk's warmup sketch commission for this month, complete with little animation motions.
More spare time progress on this piece. All the shade layers are in place. I always love taking the time to do pics like this every now and then.
Goddess Mar's sketch commission for this month. Never have to twist my arm too hard to ask me to draw my own characters.
This was my relaxation for the last night and through this morning.
Used a friend's character to practice a favorite pose. Didn't realize I kind of misplaced the right arm before it was done. Alas.
Will probably do two more pages before I start updating this on the public site.
This is a makeup commission for Andrew Smith who missed a month a while back, even as he paid.
This is actually Sherri Mayim's character that I color tested to see if she could fit into one of my universes for possible future use. It was also featured in my video commentary on a prior post for the $12+ tiers.
She normally has very bright blue colored nose, tongue, and exposed skin parts, but I wanted to give her a more "natural" blue-ish Shar Pei coloration for her un-furred parts.
Another rambling work video as I do a little test color of this weird dog. I guess this will be a regular thing, now! I should update the description of the $12 tier.
I ended up coloring her eyes the incorrect color and correcting it later. Will probably be posting the finished image to Patreon, soon.
Still waiting for Patreon to finish processing all pledges. Sorry about the delay in sending out comic links. This is sorta what happens when the 4th and 5th fall on weekends and holidays.
Andrew S's latest sketch commission from last month.
The first look at the first page of the new story arc that I'll be doing. I'm going to go ahead and post these, here, as I finish them, before I build up about a six to eight page buffer to start releasing them on my website. I can't commit to a schedule for these, but I do know that I miss doing a PG-13 webcomic to account for character development beyond adult stories.
Apparently some people are receiving error messages about the processing of their cards. This appears to be a Patreon issue and not a card issue. There's a link about the issue here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/2831807
Best to let the email sit and not check any option, if you get this error message.
Just a work and chatty vid where I put the shades on part of the comic I'm working on while talking about it. It's open to the $12+ steering committee tiers, and it's open to your discussions, questions, and remarks. I originally intended for it to be around 15 minutes, but it turned into 25.
The video can be downloaded by clicking the attachment link to the lower right.
Thanks!
Hello, patrons!
July's going to be pretty exciting. I'm going to start work on Original Life, again. It won't necessarily be two pages per week like the schedule I used to hold, but I do plan on building up a few pages before I release them publicly on my main website, again. I'll probably release them, here, as I finish them. So, patrons pledging a dollar or more will likely get first eyes on them.
I'm also planning to do more for the $12 Steering Committee tier, since I haven't given them a lot to talk about of late, aside from a little picture preview. Since I can provide videos directly as attachments to Patreon posts, I'm thinking of doing small vids where I chat and work for about 15 minutes, and provide them to the $12 tiers for viewing. I won't be constrained by Youtube's policy on adult material.
Once all the pledges for last month are processed, those who've been processed will be receiving links to a couple of finished pictures not on the main feed. Also, for those in the $6 and over tier, I'll be providing links to the complete Best Laid Mistress comic, and the first several pages of Marital Aid. This will probably be done on the 4th or 5th.
Also: I'm behind by a couple of sketch commissions this month, but I'll have them finished before Independence Day.
I'm damned happy and very flattered that we have over 900 patrons, now, and over $6k per month in pledged support. Thank you all so much!
Getting back into the swing of them. I'm planning to start new pages next week.
Sherri accumulated her months sketch commission contributions to be able to have this one colored.
I haven't given the $12+ patrons much love, lately, I guess because I dove right into my next project, already determined what I would do next. And I haven't solicited y'all for ideas in a while, either. So, you will get first viewing of this that I did on a day I dedicated to things I've had on my mind and wanted to work on.
I'll probably start soliciting more ideas in the future! Also, as the $12 and above tiers, you're free to chime in at any time, either in private or on the message feed, with any particular ideas, questions, and comments you have.
Thank you!
This month's sketch commission for Godly Anubis.
Eventually, I'd like to dedicate a certain amount of time to collecting sketches and writings to create a "bestiary" of sorts for the Cottonwine universe at large, exploring cultures, regions, politics, races, and such. This was one such thing I put together very quickly just to whet my appetite for more, coming off of the heels of the map of Cottonwine's known world.
The shades for this image are done. The full color is probably one of the things I'll be holding back until after pledge processing.
Also, I'm happy to have reached 900 patrons!
Working with contrasting a more traditional female body type for me, and putting it to scale on Brice's more heavyset type, trying to join them together in natural pose. We'll see how long this model lasts as I work on it in different situations. It was quite a challenge.
I'll probably color this in the next few days.
Pretty much done, but I'll probably decorate it with more graphics in the future. Not all geographical features are named, but it's getting pretty crowded as maps go, and I'm a little tired of thinking up names, tonight. Download it, display at full size, and explore away.
I'm working on a detailed fancy map of the Cottonwine Universe that I can use over and over. It's taking a while to do! But I like how it's coming out. This is only a portion of the map.
The Best Laid Mistress is complete. The finished comic will be sent out in Patreon messages to $6+ patrons after they're all processed, along with the first few pages of the new project. I'm still at a loss for the title, but "Marital Aid" is right up there on the short list.
Thank you all!
This month's sketch commission for TheCountryBumpkin. You don't have to ask me twice to draw my own characters.
Back from my trip. Ready to get back into the swing of things tomorrow. Thank you!
Going to be out of town until late Thursday. Updates will resume on schedule when I return. Thank you all!
After receiving good constructive feedback from fans and supporters, I've decided how to keep the value of the $1 pledge tier amid pledge manipulation. I want to thank everyone who replied for their input.
What I'm going to do is maintain things as they are, but hold a few images and sketches in "reserve" until the end of pledge processing, then release them as links to all pledgers at $1+ as weblinks in their Patreon inbox. It's the same way I release comics to the $6+ pledge tiers. While I'm sure there will still be images taken and circulated, at least this is a measure whereby those who actually are contributing money will get a bit more than those who are simply gaming the system.
The result is that nobody in the $1 tier will be getting any less than they already do, now.
Thanks for all of your inputs, again!
A quick bit of color to start off the day. Working with a naturalish-feeling pose, more clothing wrinkles, etc.
Toward the beginning and end of each month, there's always a percentage of fluctuating pledges. It's a small percentage and it's okay.
I receive an email every time someone pledges, or alters their pledge, but not when they cancel their pledges. There's at least one user who uses the pledge registration system to browse for new content, and then cancel their pledge immediately, when they're done. I get about two or three emails per week registering this person's $1 pledge, while their account indicates they've contributed $0 during their lifetime of "support".
I know there will always be soulless people who want to game the system. Unfortunately, Patreon has no way to block future transactions from certain patrons, yet. I'm pleased that the overwhelming majority of pledges here are $6 and above. Nonetheless, there's a lot I want to share on the roll with those who want to express material support, even if it's only a dollar.
One dollar a month. That's how generous, I am. One dollar.
But if abuse of the $1 pledge tier continues, I'm going to start sharing more exclusives with the links that go out to the $6+ pledge tiers. I won't abandon the $1 tier, but I may start being less generous with it.
The links to The Best Laid Mistress went out to $6 and up patrons today. I'm alllmost done with that comic, but I'm behind by one page plus a cover. So, next month will feature that comic in its entirety to $6+ patrons, as well as everything I've finished on the new comic I'll be starting. I'm still coming up with a name for it.
I also plan to start new Original Life pages this month. I'm going to build a backlog back up before I start releasing them into the wild, so I can't say for sure when the first pages will hit. Also, I'll probably post them here, first.
Putting together her character. I think this is the first time I've put a character archetype down on a series of reference drawings.
Patreon's changed a few things and it's worth noting to my regular patrons, here:
First off, I'm no longer receiving email notifications for comments left on submissions, here, for some reason. I don't know if it's a general change by Patreon, or if it's because of the number of patrons I have now. This isn't a huge deal, it just means it may take me longer to peruse comments and reply to questions specifically asked, there. I'm still receiving email notices for private communications, as well as people using the posting board for questions.
Secondly, there's no longer the need to use download links in addition to the display image, when I upload an image. Turns out, you can just save the image to your HD from the displayed image on the entry, and it saves at full size. If you right-click the shrunken image and click "display image in new tab", you can see the image display at full size by itself. I'll probably put this in each entry for a while until people get the hang of it.
Also, Patreon seems to be trying to save bandwidth by reducing the quality of the thumbnails that appear in the posts feed. I haven't noticed any reduced quality in the main submission file (like on Fur Affinity). I'm going to try a few posts where, instead of uploading to Patreon, I just use an image link from my website, and see if that makes a difference.
Thank you all for the best month to date!
I was hoping to have The Best Laid Mistress finished by the end of May, but there are still a couple of pages to do, as well as the cover. Almost there, almost there...
I like how a lot of the pages have come out. I've been working on making some of the scenes more "kinetic" in appearance.
I'm still debating the continued role of my website catalog given the success of Patreon. I'm still debating whether I want to release comics there, even if it stays one comic behind Patreon. Rise of the Wolf Queen 3 has still technically only be shared with $6 patrons here, and hasn't seen the catalog. Catalog release would give others a chance to see it, I think.
Soon, around the 4th or 5th, I'll be sending out the links to The Best Laid Mistress as completed so far. Next month, this comic should be finished, and the next one already started, and I already know what it's going to be.
I'm sure this is kind of a porn cliche, but it struck me as something I wanted to draw.
DBM's sketch commission for May, finishing off the string of men's asses being penetrated.
Indigirl's shaded sketch commission for this month. Lot of guys getting nailed in the ass in my commission queue this month.
This month's warm up commission for Ashene.
This was kind of an experiment from the beginning. I wanted to get that main pose angle down, and I wanted to see how I could combine sort of montaging with a bit of setting and some dialog.
Full download is available in the file icon in the lower right.
I've been working on this in drips and drabs this week. It'll eventually be a sex montage. I'm also finally nailing down the name of this fucker she's always with.
This is Gothskunk's shaded sketch commission for May.
Possible new character. It's not like I need another one, but for the possible role I have in mind, there is no other I can use.
I'm a little remiss with the amount of work I've been able to share so far, this month. Most of my time has been devoted to testing my schedule for new and resurrected projects, and I've learned what I can do:
I don't have time to do my Space Rabbit story on anything resembling a meaningful schedule. I can (and will) resurrect and continue Original Life, but the schedule won't be twice a week like it was before.
Adult material is still on the same schedule. With Patreon making so much now, I've stopped doing YCHs in order to devote more time to independent pieces, or just further character development on the side. Someone in the Steering Committee mentioned Sissy's husband, Brice, and I had some picture ideas going way back that I'd abandoned, but I'm of a mind to bring them back.
Sorry it's been scant this month but work is resuming!
B Commissions saved up three months worth of commissions to allow for posting all at once, due to their connected nature.

Warwolf's sketch warmup commission for May.
Goddess Mar asked me to draw Fisk and Red like this, for this month. Done and done!
I've finally at the place I want to be to turn this Power Armored Bunnies (working title) project into something real. I have a lot written, but now I need to design the things I actually have described, starting with spaceships. I love drawing tech, but there is a challenge when you get into the nitty gritty details.
As to the form the project will take, I'm thinking of probably separating it from this Patreon, and perhaps giving it a Patreon of its own for those who specifically want me to devote time to it.
Basically, with Patreon doing so well, here, I can devote less time to YCHs, and more time to these kinds of creative things.
This is the last YCH commission I'll be doing for a while. Because Patreon is so successful, for me, I'm able to free up time on things I want to work on more. Namely, I'm going to start pouring some time into working on my Space Bunny project as an actual comic. As well as reviving a few other things that I've put on hiatus in the past.
Decided to stay up late and wrap this up, tonight.
Comic links were sent out to processed patrons for the beginning of this month! A reminder: if you just pledged after the 1st of May, your pledge doesn't process until the beginning of next month.
Thank you for your support!
I wanted to draw something happy and energetic. I'll be coloring this. As I indicated, since Patreon has become so successful, I'll be devoting way more time to exclusives.
The last sketch commission held over from April.
One of the final sketch commissions from April, for Andrew S.
I'll be out of town this weekend, so updates will resume next week. Thank you all for being there. I'll of course be sending out messages when it's time to share comic pages with the $6+ patrons. I'm two pictures behind on my sketch commissions before the end of April, so I'll be prioritizing those last bits next week, as well, and then sending out messages to all the commission patrons for their May ideas and references.
Thank you all!
Jay
This was fun to do. Trixie would see Beth's body as a big blank canvas.
This month's sketch commission for Sherri Mayim. She's such a dirty dog.
The latest finished YCH. I have no idea what the context for the dialog is. It was written by the winner.
DBM's sketch commission for this month.
Someone on the steering committee pledge tier asked for more Audrey and Aron with Aron "receiving". So I figured I'd draw him giving it the ol' college try.
Just like ladies, not every guy ends up liking this. :3
Right now I'm plugging ahead on two YCH commissions that are on my plate. I'm attempting to finish them, because once I do, I'm going to not take as many, anymore.
Because his Patreon is doing so well, I'll be taking that time and devoting it to individual pictures, little comics, and Patreon exclusives, once I get done with these YCHs. And I can't wait. Whenever I come up with a neat pose, or such, I can apply my own characters to it, and expand on how they are, instead.
Thank you all!
This month's sketch commission for Indigirl.
I have a few ideas for some stand-alone pictures I want to do, though I'm kind of at a loss for what to do for later this month and onto next month. I'm leaving this open to you, the $12 patron, to tell me more of what you'd like to see in individual pictures coming up - characters you'd like to see, acts, settings, etc.
Thanks!
Working on a pic of Trixie applying body paint to a reluctant Beth, in my spare time.
This month's warmup commission for Ashene. This one's in color because of some extra offered, but it's not a regular thing and not something I'm soliciting as an option, all around.
Evidence that not everything I start turns out the way I want. There's a perspective problem with this one. I might erase Lynne's head and work in something else. We'll see.
The sketch commission this month for WarWolf.
I wanted to do this pic of Lynne. I always go back and forth about sweat on furries, but I like sweat...
Goddess Mar's sketch commission for this month. Was a little bit of a challenge lining this all up, but I like how it came out.
I updated the wording of the $6+ pledge to reflect how comic pages are sent out as links after all pledges are processed at the beginning of each month. Every month I get new Patrons that aren't clear on that, and I understand why.
This month's sketch commission for Goth Skunk. I had to clip the stall to keep both the characters as visible as I wanted. I don't normally like to do profile gloryhole images, because they kind of remove the viewer from the atmosphere of what a gloryhole is: having sex with a stranger through a hole.
Nonetheless. :3
Back from FWA and ready to begin working with a vengeance, again. Starting tomorrow, I'll probably start knocking out sketch commissions along with my usual assortment of comic work and extra images.
It was a nice little vacation and I had a great time!
I'm on my way to FWA starting tomorrow, and I won't be home until Monday. Then it's back to work in earnest. I won't be working the con. I'll just be there palling around with friends.
See you next week!
I wanted this picture to be larger, but when I reached for my 11x17 bristol paper pad, it was empty, and I'd forgotten to reorder. Nonetheless! Here it is, albeit a little smaller than I wanted.
Still waiting for Patreon to finish processing all pledges before delivering things and asking for commission info, for those who were wanting. Hopefully tomorrow...
I didn't get as much done last month as I wanted, but I wrapped up the third installment of The Rise of the Wolf Queen and managed to break ground on the new one about Priscilla.
Just a reminder: around the 4th or the 5th is usually when Patreon finishes processing pledges, and that's when I share the comic pages for the $6+ patrons.
It's going to feel good to plunge into lighter things in April, with a funny Priscilla story and nice things of my own creation. I'll probably be doing another picture with Lynne and Penny before moving on to fiddle with others.
I also want to thank everyone for being awesome patrons. I see other really talented people having issues with Patreon and problems with people trying to dodge pledge processing after "mining" their galleries, but I haven't noticed that being an issue here. We're getting close to 700 pledged supporters and I want to let you know how much I really appreciate that so much. This is the reason why I have no problem dedicating the vast majority of my working time to doing things for you.
Thanks!
Some good ball attention.
Sketch commission for War Wolf.
I'll be wrapping this up soon. I need to practice more ball worship.
Sketch commission for Andrew Smith, this month. Him and his woman are about to get arrested.
This month's sketch commission for Indigirl.
I want to get used to drawing Penny, more. Flesh her out a bit.
This month's Patreon sketch commission for Dick Bitch Molly. Apparently I made her a little too "cute" in this one, so I promised to make her more gross and ugly in future works.
I'm back from my out of town trip and ready to get back on schedule.
First of all, I'm probably going to wait until the end of the month to release the finished Wolf Queen comic on my catalog, even though my current patrons, here, have seen most of it. It's sort of a hat-tip to my patrons, to give them a view of the completed comic (as well as the initial pages of the next upcoming feature), before catalog people do. With Patreon making up the bulk of my income, I'm no longer dependent on catalog release dates, and can schedule them whenever I want.
Secondly, I'll be back into the swing of sketches and other things starting tomorrow. I appreciate all your patience in the lack of new material in the last couple of days.
Thank you all!
Penny and Lynne will have their little picture series coming up, soon, and these are the beginning lines. I want start using Penny as a more regular character, and this is a good start.
I'm going out of town until Thursday, tomorrow, so there won't be any updates until then. And then it's back on schedule. This month hasn't been as productive as I wanted, due to life upcroppings, but I thank you for sticking with!
This YCH commission has been my biggest time-sink over the last week. But it's finally done.
After this I'll probably delve into more pics for Patreon. I was going to do more of Rachel in the city, but I've decided to save much of that material for an upcoming comic project, later in the year. I'm probably going to do some pictures of Lynne with Penny, her jogging partner. I'm in that kind of mood. :3
All the internal art for Rise of the Wolf Queen 3 is complete and all I have to do is the cover. Then, it looks like I'll be diving into the next comic project, which will be about Priscilla's intent to get pregnant, which received the most votes by the steering committee patrons. I'm actually kind of pleased I'll be able to work on something a little lighter after these wolf comics.
Goddess Mar's Patreon sketch commission for this month.
Draegwolf's Patreon sketch commission for this month. Strangely, I have two rimming commissions this month, both involving poodles.
This one kind of sat around for a couple of weeks with on-and-off work being done on it. I know it may not be a common fetish, so I wasn't in a hurry, but I still wanted to practice it, and at least depict it as something pleasant for the delightfully perverse woman doing it. :3
If you don't like this, rest assured they won't be common, but at least thank you for indulging me this one.
The full size can be downloaded by the link to the lower right of the image.
I've been practicing writing novel-type stories for the past few months, just grabbing snatches of spare time in the evenings and putting together a little story in these pieces. Mostly it involves writing, and then rewriting, and then re-rewriting everything over and over, and keeping copious notes as things unfold in your mind. Those of you who are familiar with the pictures I've done of bunnies in power armor, may have heard I've been working on this little outer space universe.
So far, I've got seven brisk chapters, and even larger chapters are in progress or being edited. I'm kind of reluctant to share them because there may still be some editing to do, and things may change. I also don't know at what pace I can produce new material. It tends to vary. But, as patrons, I'm going to share these with you, and let you see the PDFs of the material so far.
I'm not necessarily looking for compliments on this. I'm basically using this as a way to "learn" about the process of writing text-only stories, which is something I don't have much experience with. But, if enough people show interest, I'll keep sharing chapters as I finish writing (and rewriting, and rererererewriting them). And yes, I'm aware I misspelled the file name for the chapter titled "Cat Politics" after I uploaded it.

This month's sketch commission for Sherri Mayim.
I'm alllllmost done with the third installment of the Wolf Queen series, so I should get some input from you guys on which comic project I should tackle next. A lot of the characters I really want to draw comics about are kind of in a limbo state, where their lives are stable and I'm not really able to come up with nifty ideas. Nonetheless, my roster for possible next projects is pretty full, so let me know what you think. There are no titles for these yet, so I'm just using placeholders:
1.) Rachel and the wolf - A suit-wearing wolf gentleman takes casual ownership of Rachel, voyeuristically directing her to debauchery, while frustrating her with his lack of desire to partake of her, himself. Mood: debauched, dark
2.) Rise of the Wolf Queen 4 - I could go ahead and launch into the 4th installment of this series right after the 3rd, which will set up the equilibrium of the Cottonwine universe and set some characters free for other adventures. Mood: debauched, mildly violent, with a ray of hope at the end
3.) Mai and Minh - Exploring Minh's jealousy and how its dynamic plays into the only other one of Mai's lovers she actually loves. Mood: playful jealousy
4.) Flounce and Persia - The conversational dynamic of Flounce and Persia finding a masculine male lover to share. I'm debating telling much of this from the perspective of the extra male lover, which tends to be really overlooked or over-simplified in most of this sort of "fetish" porn. This is a comic I'm definitely sure to do sometime this year, even if it's not the next project. Mood: Erotic, comedic commentary, introspective
5.) Priscilla wants a baby - The domineering poodle, Priscilla, has finally decided it's time to get pregnant. She develops a pretty elaborate plan, but like a lot of things Priscilla sets up, it backfires in a funny erotic way. Features Mai and Minh. Mood: Debauched comedy
6.) Lupe's Dogs - An expose of Lupe (Pablo's sister) discovering and perpetuating her appreciation of the anthropomorphic dogs in Lumpkinville's more urban setting. Mood: character expose, cheating, debauched
This month's shaded sketch commission for Goth Skunk. I guess this caps off the little series he's been running.
Lot of practice with lighting and hrr and durrr and also hrr. Eroticism with context is my favorite. I loved doing this one.
Patreon exclusive.
Just a reminder, a link to download the full size of the image can be found to the lower right.
The basic shades laid into the back alley picture. I want this to eventually lead to her life after Second Chances, and delve a little light onto the mysterious wolf gentleman who kind of "owns" her, from this image: https://d.facdn.net/art/fisk/1372298921/1372298921.fisk_jn-rachelrighthere.jpg
A little peek at what I'm working on that I'm not ready to scan yet. I've been in a mood to do weird context images like this, lately. I also want to keep Rachel to this more curvy body type.
This image may launch a few follow up images through March, once I finish it.
The end of February always sneaks up on me. So, on with the announcements:
Around the 5th or so, the comic pages that I've finished this month will be shared. I'll be finishing the Rise of the Wolf Queen 3 in March, and I'll be putting my next comic to vote with the steering committee. I'll even go ahead and include the 4th and last installment of this series as one of the possible options.
I'm also continuing to work on stand alone pictures. Right now, in progress, I have one that is a Rachel image which features a lot of background detail. So far it's in the sketchy phase, and I work on it in bits and pieces, here and there. I have another one with Lynne, which is actually a fetish-heavy multi-frame sequence concerning watersports. I often debate how much time I should invest in those kinds of niche images, where some will like them, others may not.. whereas just about everyone likes vanilla sexy pictures in general. Ah well, in any event, I'll be putting more image themes up for vote next month, when I get the ideas.
I was also serious about no longer taking YCH commissions if I manage to wrangle in $5,000 per month in pledges. I could devote that extra time to doing Patreon exclusives and even opening up request ideas to the Steering Committee contributors. I really want to cater to you guys even more. <3
Thank you!
According to my note's list, I've only received 8 messages this month for Patreon rough sketch commissions, and they're all complete. If you have a slot for February (were charged $50 at the beginning of Feb) and I haven't done your commission, I didn't get a message for it. Feel free to send me a message or an email. I do kind of remember who was on the list, so don't try to pull a fast one on me!
Latest commission for B. Commissions. She has four arms.
Goth Skunk won the last YCH and he had me make two versions, one with thong panties and one without, and was nice enough to let me share the no-panties version here on Patreon.
I really liked working on this one.
This month's commission for Andrew S. I may go with a cloudy background for a lot of these from here on. I like how it looks.
War wolf's patreon commission for this month is an icon for his character.
Draegwolf's Patreon sketch for this month.
This month's rough sketch for Goth Skunk.
Wrapped up the color for this one tonight. I really loved doing it and I want to do more like it in the future.
I'll be coloring this for you luscious patrons, later.
This month's shaded sketch commission for Goddess Mar.
Latest finished YCH! This one took a while to finish.
Wrapped this up today. More to come. :3
6.) Adding the color flats by doing the stuff in the background first, so the character stuff can be easily put on top of it. This is also where I put in most of the cutesy strange fictional brands on all the products.
7.) Character flats complete. I tend to leave them on a separate layer than the background, but that's not critical.
8.) The flats are given depth by putting in a series of lighter areas. Much of the dull gloss is added to shiny things, here, like the bags and aluminum cans.
9.) Glossy parts are added here, accenting even more shiny areas, such as the bags, hair, as well as organic things like eyes, nipples, and such. I also went to the pencil layer and used the eraser tool on very low flow to soften some of the pencil lines, especially around the inner joints, mouth, hair lines, nipples, and other areas that just benefit from it. Another darkening layer was added underneath the couch.
10.) Finally, I put a purple multiply layer on top of all the color portions and used the eraser tool to imply a darker setting, as people usually have in front of a television.
This month's shaded sketch commission for Indigirl.
The process continues.
3.) The pencils are cleaned up and ready for finishing. Some edits were made, as things were refined. As a good exercise, let a drawing sit overnight. You will often find errors with fresh eyes that you miss in the moment of creating. The most notable fix was Red's lover's left leg, which was too thick in the prior sketch, and had to be revised. Detail was added to everything else.
4.) Sometimes, prior to this step, I'll put a background color which will dominate the picture's color scheme, by setting the pencil layer to the "multiply" setting and putting a color layer underneath it. But I decided to leave the canvas white for now, and apply the first shade layer. I use a simple default brush with feathered ends at 20% flow, and the same brush in the eraser tool at 10% in Photoshop CS6. I apply the shades in a layer on top of the pencils set to the "multiply" setting. I've found that a light lavender or purple is a good universal color to use for shading. I've also worked with light blues, or even browns, before, depending on the overall color scheme of the pic (for instance, I've often used brown as a shade color in some of Mary Ann's pics, which feature mostly brown and tan colors in general).
5.) A second shade layer is simply applied to another "multiply" layer on top of the first shade layer. I simply use the same color and brush settings, and apply the second layer of shading to appropriately darker areas, giving the image more depth. Sometimes, if a picture's complexity warrants it, I'll even apply a third layer in certain areas. For comic pages, I usually skip the second shade layer for the sake of time.
Next, I'll be putting on the color flats, and deciding if this will be a bright piece or a dark one. I'm leaning either way on it.
For the next Red image, I'm going to outline the process for how it comes together. Because I love each and every one of you. This will be a Patreon exclusive.
1.) My sketchbooks are full of scribbles like this. They're super fast and just brisk ideas put down like a brainstorm sheet. These are good for deciding if poses will work okay or to get a preliminary idea of an image's atmosphere. Almost all my pics, whether a YCH or just a pic I want to do, have a corresponding rough scribble in my sketchbook.
2.) On good paper, I put down the preliminary pencils, constructing everything and making adjustments to poses and such. I turned her head away in order to give the pic some variation, and added expressions so people wouldn't think she was bored. This is the phase where you can see if a pic will work or not, look like you want it or not, and some of them die here.
The next step will be to clean up the pencils, and there may even be more tweaks to the details from there. Also, details will be added, like possible side tables, bags of chips, nummies, beer, lamps, and whatever else.
I'm kinda glad I got to work on this with a zebra. The actual winner wanted something kinda gross, but they defaulted on the 10 day payment deadline for winning a YCH. So it went to the last highest bidder.
I think maybe if Patreon reaches $5,000 a month, I may stop doing YCH auctions.
Little sexy everyday snapshot pictures like this are always a pleasure do to. This is an exclusive.
James Patreon commission from last month.
Draegwolf's January commission. Forgot to post this when it was completed.
Jinxy's commission for January. I forgot to post this when it was finished. :3
February is here, already. A few things of note: $6 and up Patrons will be getting the pages that are complete on the Rise of the Wolf Queen part 3 around the 5th or so, depending on how quickly pledges clear, this month. Seems like the more money people pledge, the longer it takes to clear them.
Also: since a lot of people made $6 pledges in January because of the Mandy comic release, I'm going to be sending out links to all the Mandy pages, again, as well, once pledges clear.
I'm going to be doing more pictures like the Red picture I finished. I really enjoy them and miss doing them. I also will start doing more of these kinds of fully finished illustrations as Patreon exclusives. The drawing attached to this post is one such work in progress.
Some Patreon messages got eaten during the weird Patreon messaging system quirk last month, and I actually lost some information that some commissioner's sent, last month. When I send out the next batch of messages to the $50 commissioners, I'm going to ask you to contact me with your commission info via e-mail, just to make sure I get it all. It may also be helpful to attach references directly, that way, too (thought I prefer URLs). Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thank you all!
Happy with this. Tilted the image, put her right arm to the proper length, and colored it up tonight. You guys get the full res. I want to draw more things like this.
Next month I want to start doing more stand-alone pieces like this. This is in progress. She'll be standing in water and her shirt and undies will be see through.
That $150 drop in support was from just one single person editing their pledge from something beyond any reward tier I had established, and not from a mass migration. That actually feels a lot better.
I guess we've discovered another one of Sissy's fetishes.
This month's shaded sketch commission for Warwolf.
The Wolf Queen part 3 is finally progressing nicely and things have hit that nice "stride", as it were. There's a bit of a story to tell, and I want to blend it with juicy sex, appropriately. The end of this series (part 4) will sort of "cap" the whole Red Riding/Wolf Queen arc. I'm not sure what I will do with Cottonwine after that, but it'll be there if I want it.
More Sissy pictures are in progress. I sort of work on them in my spare time in phases. There may be about three more pics in this before we decide on what else for me to work on. :3 I've been having the hankering to draw Red a bit, lately, she's just always a challenge for the proper context, but I have a little ideas germinating...
The last Patreon sketch commission I finished was a gay piece. I'm not sure if it's a coincidence, but after posting it, we lost $150 in pledge support, an extraordinary amount for just one day (you can see how much was pledged at the time a piece was posted in the lower right of each entry). Gay work isn't my forte and I realize most of my fanbase probably isn't attracted to it, but if there's anything else people don't want to see posted, to the degree that it might affect their pledges, feel free to sound off, here. If something is generally unappreciated by people offering their support, I won't mind holding back from posting it, here.
Thank you all!
This month's Patreon shaded sketch for Goddess Mar.
Andrew B's shaded sketch commission for this month.
This is the moment where we pull the vantage point back and take in the bigger scene for a moment.
Goth Skunk's Patreon shaded sketch commission. I started a new sketchbook with this and it took the lead very lightly, so I switched to a darker one for the future.
This is the latest finished YCH commission.

This month's shaded sketch commission for B. Commissions.
It continues...
Back from my trip and ready to get back to the business of workin'. Thank you all for sticking around!
Just a few things to clarify: Some people have been putting in $6 bids with the expectation of accessing "the Mandy comic" right away. To be clear, a pledge is just a pledge, until it's processed early at the beginning of next month. This is why comic pages are sent out in messages after these pledges clear. If you pledged over $6 in January, you won't receive links to pages until early February.
Thank you all! Let's get back into the business of drawing hot things tomorrow.
Jay
Works' been started on the latest adult comic, the third installment of the Wolf Queen series. It's been a year since I've worked on it, and I need to go ahead and get back to it.
Also, I'm going to be out of town for a few days, until the 14th of this month, so there'll be no updates until then. But things will pick right back up as soon as I get to my work station.
Thank you!
I've been noticing some delays in message notifications being sent out as emails from Patreon, since yesterday. I'm wondering how quickly people are being notified of new posts, private messages, and comments.
Shaded sketch commission for this month for Indigirl.
Today's full color warm-up. This is only going to get more depraved.
Patreon still hasn't processed all the pledges from December, but I'm going ahead and releasing Mandy to the appropriate pledge level. In the future, I'll probably wait for notification, but who knows.. I gave a date as my word and I'm going to keep it this time.
Wrapped this one up on a lazy Sunday. It's the beginning of something terrible.
A reminder that you can download the full sized image with the attachment link in the lower right.
Doesn't look like Patreon processes anything on Sunday, so I'm going to wait until the 5th and everyone from December is processed to send out the Mandy pages. Sorry for the delay, folks. I didn't anticipate Sunday standing still, or the fact that they didn't start any processing on New Years Day.
Instead of doing warm up sketches, for now, I'm going to do a full color finished picture series. I put it to vote by the steering committee ($12 and up patrons) and it went to a tie breaker, that the featured woman should be Sissy. So I started the series, today.
I'm still on a one-woman-many-men kind of kick.
Also a reminder for creations, you can always click the attachment icons in the lower right to download a full sized version.
I brought this up to you in the steering committee, and after a day, you were only able to break down my choices to a three-way tie.
I need you guys to break this three way tie:
Rachel
Samantha
or Sissy
So, let me know in comments, and thanks. :3
Whew, finished up Mandy. Took longer than I thought because of the zebras in it. But the pages look nice. I'm pleased with it. It has 15 internal pages.
I'm going to release it to the catalog on the 5th. $6 patrons will be receiving the pages on the 4th.
Jinxy Falina's Patreon commission for December.
Instead of doing warm up sketches this month, I want to do a finished picture series. I've been on a real one-woman-many-men kick, lately and I want to continue it. I spent part of today doing some super-roughs (shown) for possible image types to include.
In any event, what I'd like to hear from you, the steering committee pledges, is which female character you'd like to see in the middle of it. The males will be an assortment. Let me know if you'd rather see:
Zoe
Lynne
Rachel
Mai
Samantha
Sissy
Persia
Any other input you have on anything else you'd like to see is greatly appreciated, as well, and can be considered. Thank you!
I did some lazy Red sketches in front of the TV after work, last night. I've also finished up all the internal art for the Mandy comic, so that should be coming down soon.
Whew, lots of things to go over, here. First off, the Mandy comic has taken longer than I anticipated due to the detail I've been putting into the pages, mostly on the color end (shoot me if I ever decide to put zebras in a comic again). But I anticipate having it done before the end of this week. The next message that the $6+ patrons for December should receive should have the fully completed Mandy comic. This comic looks really nice and I'm very happy with how the pages have come out.
Another thing about the adult comic going out to patrons: I'm going to be sending those messages out on the 5th of the month. That seems to be the golden date where all pledges are processed, and I can accurately send the message to those whose pledges have cleared.
The shaded sketch commissions for December are almost done. I really spaced them out this month, but there's still one person who has a $50 commission slot who hasn't sent me their information for December. I haven't thought about what to do with someone who just lets months lapse while still contributing.
Just a reminder to all $50 commission holders: I send out messages asking for your commission info early in the month, and it really helps me if I can get your information as early as possible. It helps me determine whose commissions will be more complicated or simple than others, and how I can fit them into my schedule.
You guys have been great overall. I keep saying Patreon has exceeded my expectations and it's true. I'm very grateful for all your support, and I want to do more for you in 2015.
This is Warwolf's shaded sketch commission for this month.
Indigirl's shaded sketch commission for this month.
This is B. Commission's shaded sketch commission for this month.
It turns out that my fears were unfounded, and due to Patreon's poor, unclarified wording in their usage guidelines. Another creator asked them directly, and their answer is contained here: http://norasuko-art.tumblr.com/post/105922633201/hello-everyone-ive-received-multiple-e-mails
You can thank patron Temrin for making this clarification known to me.
It makes sense. I always figured the guideline was to prevent Patreon from becoming a paywall or all kinds of amateur home-made porn and camwhores, which can quickly cause the site to decay into endlessly repeating porn trash (like most of Tumblr). So, their prohibition pertains to photographic, not rendered material.
Therefor, nothing around here will change, after all. Sorry for any confusion.
Because of the somewhat ambiguous line between what Patreon might consider "porn" vs. "erotic" or whatnot, I'm going to take measures to safeguard this account, and all your support, by changing what I host here.
I will continue to produce the same material and have the same commission guidelines, but all content that can be construed as being X-rated "hardcore" type images featuring explicit sex, will instead be hosted on my personal website with links provided in messages for all suitable patrons to access them, along with suitable previews provided here. Images with ordinary nudity will remain and be posted as normal. This is the same system I use to share my comic pages with $6+ patrons, and it works well.
Starting tomorrow, I will be deleting entries that contain explicit work. I will have the images hosted on my site and will send out a notification with where they can be found for all patrons. I would do this tonight, but I have prior obligations to attend to.
This is a pre-emptive safeguard. I apologize if it makes things a little extra inconvenient, but I want to keep this account intact while also taking steps to comply with the desires of those who make it possible.
Thank you!
Something I put together just for Patreon for now, since you guys have been so awesome, and put us over the $3k mark. I may upload a lower res version to public galleries later, but they can wait.
Still playing with old character designs. I didn't like how Flounce was just a solid gray all over, even his hair, so I gave him some variation. I'm not above redesigning old characters if they need it. :3
Goth Skunk's Patreon commission for this month. Looks like we have a serial brewing.
Things are chugging along here. The zebras in the Mandy comic are slowing things up a bit, as it takes extra time to color each page out. But I think it's worth it. One of the benefits of Patreon (all of you!) is that there's less of a race to finish a comic to receive a payday, which means I can spend time on the details.
I'm really psyched about reaching the $2,900 mark. Reaching $3,000 would be a heck of a milestone and I'd love to do a thank you image just for my patrons. In the meantime, work continues on YCHs, warmup sketches, and ideas are bubbling or nice stand-alone images.
Thank you all!
This month's Patreon Commission for Goddess Mar.
Temrin's shaded sketch commission for this month!
I decided to color today's warmup sketch.
This month's shaded sketch commission for Andrew Smith.
More flexing in today's warm up. This was also decent for symmetry practice.
Zoe's morning stretches, to be continued.
There are two topics for the steering committee to cover for now. But first, I'll be finishing off the Mandy project this month, and I plan on doing the next Rise of the Wolf Queen chapter after that, which was second to Mandy in the last voting by only a few votes.
I'm going to start my new round of sequential warmup sketches soon and I'd like your input. I was thinking of diving right into the Mai and Minh idea I had, where Minh voyeurs Mai jealously, while she's with a man she actually has feelings for. I was also thinking of doing a sequential bit where an especially promiscuous character, like Samantha, was servicing a gloryhole, to the tune of many men, one after another. Part of me also wants to draw a bunch of Zoe pictures. Let me know what you'd like.
I'm also setting aside more time for stand alone pictures, like the one I did of Trixie plucking a dildo from her backside. I'm interested in what you'd like to see more of in that regard. More nice cute characters from the Original Life universe in adult situations, or more detailed, tribal pieces with wolves and such, from the Cottonwine world. Let me know what guns your engine.
Thanks!
Just a quick Zoe to warm up today. Nothing too complicated!
I'm hosting a YCH auction on Weasyl, to test the market there and see if it's a viable economic alternative to Fur Affinity, which is unreliable. I'm hoping it does well. Getting the bulk of a fandbase on Fur Affinity to be bothered to tilt their eyeballs in the direction of something new seems about as hard as rolling a skyscraper.
You can find the auction here if you're interested in participating! https://www.weasyl.com/submission/806241/ych-auction-pantsed
It's December first and pledges are being processed. Here's what you can look forward to.
The $6 and up pledges will be getting a message with all the updated comic pages for the Mandy comic around the 3rd or 4th, when most pledges have been processed. They look nice. I really like how this comic is coming.
I'm starting to draw more pictures of my own characters, like I've wanted to. I'm posting larger versions to Patreon, while putting somewhat smaller ones to my public galleries. I may even do Patreon exclusive pictures in the future, since this place is becoming really successful. I'll probably let the $12 and up steering committee patrons vote on the kinds of images I do.
I wouldn't have imagined this place would be as successful as it is and I thank you all. <3
Decided to do something for myself and all. This is the full res version of the picture. I'll be uploading a slightly smaller one to my public galleries. You can download the full version with the link to the lower right of the image.
The latest finished YCH commission from Fur Affinity. Love this.
Jinxy Falina's shaded sketch commission. This is the last one for November!
Working on something for me, step by step. Will finish in time.
Spent a little time working up something for myself. I'll be finishing this piece some time, because the world needs more female anal masturbation.
Today's warmup. Had to include a shot of Audrey's face because she's cute.
Patreon shaded sketch commission for Andrew Smith
Right now I'm working to conclude the Patreon commissions I have slated for this month. I have one left with all the materials ready, and one subscriber who hasn't given me their information on what they want, yet, despite it being weeks.
Putting Original Life on Hiatus was necessary, with the holidays coming up, always eating into my schedule. I really want to devote more time to getting my adult comics done at a faster clip. I haven't abandoned the webcomic, though, and when I resume with new stories and pages, I will let everyone know. Speaking of adult comics, the Mandy pages are looking really nice. I'm really pleased with how this is one is shaping up. The $6+ will have access to all the currently finished pages when payments clear, probably around the 3rd of December.
Thanks for -all- your support. Patreon has exceeded my expectations. This means I can devote more time to it, and possibly think up new things to provide. After Thanksgiving, when things calm a bit for me, I plan on doing images from my own inspiration, from my own worlds, and providing standard and higher resolution versions to Patrons, while offering smaller resolutions to my normal galleries. I miss doing the high-detailed images that would take me a week or so to complete during my spare time, and I want to make their full enjoyment something for my patrons. If I have several ideas for these images, I may even put them up to vote for the steering committee on which ones I finish first.

Shaded sketch commission for WarWolf
Patreon shaded sketch commission for Draegwolf.
Today's warmup. Mary warms up the oven.
The latest YCH commission. Sorry for the weird anatomy.
Today's warmup.
Indigirl's commission.
Audrey's effort at topping comes crumbling down all around her.
Commission for Teddy Kuma. He has certain.. tastes. I don't mind depicting this, but I stepped back from overtly sexualizing it over a canon character in this context (It's not like there's a female Russian spy with him).
I feel like such an amateur when I draw the male body.
Audrey and Mary are a unique couple. I'll be exploring them with some warmup sketches throughout the month, when I'm not doing commissions.
The sketch commission for B. Commissions, using Kenno Arkkan's characters with permission.
Goddess Mar's commission sketch. Those wings must be really heavy in the shower.
I've got another impromptu trip to go on today and tomorrow, so the warmups and other material will resume on Friday. I appreciate your patience with me. Life sometimes happens, though I'm used to producing far more material during the course of an average week. The rest of the month should be "average" up until Thanksgiving.
Also: I noticed others can post things in the activity feed, including attached images. I tend not to care too much if people want to use it to broach a topic every now and then, but posting unrelated work can get me in trouble and confuse people about what it is and where it's coming from.
Thanks again!
Temrin's commission sketch. This came out neat and concise, and fun to draw.
I've already started working on the slate of Patreon commissions. I dropped some color into Gothic Skunk's commission because he pledged twice as much as necessary and is my largest supporter. I sense this may turn into a series.
Patreon is taking up to 72 hours to process everything. So far, most people have been processed, but there are still a few who haven't. As soon as they show up one way or another, I'll start sending out messages.
Sorry about the wait! I wanted to do it Saturday but I'll probably end up doing it Monday. It's a good thing to just imagine it happening on the 3rd or 4th from now on.
Thanks!
There's one more sketch I plan to do in the ongoing serial featuring Persia, Flounce, and their new lover. After that I'm going to start fulfilling Patreon sketch commission obligations. If you haven't given me your information, yet, any time would be a good time to do so. I'll also start working on some new sketch ideas. Input would be appreciated.
Any ideas you have of your own on what you would like to see, as well as any input you have on some directions I want to go. I'm contemplating a sketch series taking a peek into the sex life of Audrey and Mary. I haven't drawn Audrey a lot, and I want to. There was also a series I had in mind featuring Mai and Minh, the Siamese twins, where Mai grows very close to a particular suitor, earning a deliciously jealous voyeuristic obsession from her brother, Minh.
If there's anything else you'd like to see, sell me on it. :3
I crammed in a lot of work this week so far, because I have to take a sudden trip Thursday and come back Friday, and be ready to start fulfilling Patreon obligations on Saturday. Because it's a short month (having started Patreon in the middle of October), there are three full color comic pages from the Mandy project to showcase to $6 and up patrons so far, whereas future months will have significantly more pages. But damn, that third page looks *really* good.
I have one more sketch to do in the sketch series with Persia, Flounce, and their new lover, before I begin completing the Patreon commission slots for $50 patrons this weekend. I have some ideas for some future sketch serials, as well, and I'm going to let the steering committee of $12 and up patrons have a say in where I go next with those.
I'm super pleased with how well Patreon is turning out for me and my continued work. You guys are so damned awesome. Thank you so much. I want to start doing some pics for myself in the future, and I'm tempted to just share the higher resolution versions with you guys.
Thanks again!
-Jay
The latest finished YCH auction. Doing two or three of these per month on Fur Affinity is a nice boost.
This was a Trixie sketch that sat around in my book forever and I found it again when I went to do warmups today. I decided to color this instead. I'm not sure why it sat so long. I think I may have thought I made her torso too short.
This is released on my public galleries as well, but I'm still making things with nudity available only to patrons, here.
I've got a long weekend ahead of me and I probably won't be able to get much work done until Monday.
In other news, I'm very happy with how well Patreon is doing. You're the best. It's exceeding my expectations and I hope to exceed yours in the upcoming weeks and months. Thank you!
Decided to color this one, and get some kind of initial colors on the new male character.
Mandy's first page is done, and there's a valuable lesson in it! I'm pleased with how the colors turned out, and i'm pleased with how wild and ominous Erzile looks in color. Full pages will be available to $6 and up patrons after contributions are tallied at the end of the month.
Found the time to finish this one, today. I think after this it's going into pregnancy risk territory for a little bit.
To prevent people from canceling their pledges prior to the end of the month and then re-pledging in order to take advantage of content released during the month, I'm going to only be releasing finished adult comic pages at the end of the month after pledges clear, as a mass message with an appropriate URL to allow you to access the pages. This will apply to all pledges that are $6 or above.
I wanted to release them as I finish them, but instead, I'll be releasing everything I have done at the end of the month.
This will not affect shaded sketches and previews.
Got the Mandy project rolling today. I love drawing the detail on denim so much.
The color versions of these pages will be available to $6 and up contributors after monthly contributions are tallied.
I let the steering committee vote on my next comic, and it looks like Mandy's comic has come out on top as the project I'm going to work on next. I'm going to be breaking ground on it, today, right after I pick the sleep crust from my eyes and have some breakfast.
Winding down on a nice Sunday.
Today's lazy Saturday warmup.
Hello! Next week I will break ground on the new adult comic project, and I want your feedback as to which one I will do, next. Right now, I have two prominent in my mind that I'm inspired to start:
1.) The Rise of the Wolf Queen 3 - The story follows the human inquisitor and her human-born wolf companion as they infiltrate the more hostile wolf tribe on behalf of the Wolf Queen. It will feature their lengthy sexual acclimation at the hands of a band of capturing hunters from the target tribe.
2.) Mandy the Mare (working title) - Mandy's pain from losing her husband manifests in anger and agitation, and she seeks a magical solution from Erzile, who knows what she actually needs. The swamp witch tricks Mandy into a series of sexually empowering encounters with submissive female humans and dominant male zebras. For those who don't remember Mandy, I've posted her most recent sketch sheet above.
Also, if there's anything else you'd like to see in general, whether a comic in the future, or just more pictures and development of certain characters in my warmups, let me know.
All of your feedback is appreciated. Thank you!
I wanted to start some story ideas around Persia and Flounce again, inviting a masculine third party into their lives to engage with both of them in various ways.
Generic feline sketch created for the purposes of her sketch series, which I used to test my sketch schedule. I thought I'd share her in color, here, as well as test the file attachment option.
Wow, a lot to say here. I'm still learning Patreon and I thank everyone who wants to support me! I'm interested in feedback about services and things that might be desired by my supporters. As Patreon becomes more successful, I hope to offer more fun things, here.
I intend to start my new adult comic next week and I'll be sharing each page as I finish them with $6 or more contributors. Right now I have my heart set on the third installment of The Rise of the Wolf Queen, since it's been so long since the last installment, and this is where things start to get a little... intense. I'll still post completed projects on my site's catalog, but depending on how well Patreon does, that may sort of wither away. We'll see. *IF* this becomes my dominant source of comic income, it will mean that comics can be as long as I want, since income will be monthly instead of upon comic completion. I hope this means an increase in quality and enjoyment for myself and my fans.
I'm going to start by uploading some unpublished sketches that I've done as a scheduling experiment. My shaded warm-up sketches are a good indicator as to what the $50 pledge slots can expect from their commissions. I also intend to do a lot of sketches as serials, with little bits of plot and character development, in addition to my ordinary comics.
Thank you!
