Dear Patrons,

Thanks to a patron, I’m reviving an old project called KONGREGATSIYA and expanding its story. This is a story that takes place in Eastern Europe and the Baltic Regions, and includes Russia. Think of From Russia With Love, the Trans-Siberian Railway, Human Trafficking, Spies and Secret Agents. True to form, my works tend to begin with the spoilers, after all, if I work on the story from beginning to end with the buildup, without the promise of the ‘gynophagish’ payoff, I feel that maybe you all will be left disappointed. As with all projects of mine, they take a while to start. So why not put out the promise beforehand? Begin at the end, and end at the beginning.

And with that, I hope to be able to work on a healthy amount of concurrent comic projects, thanks to a handful of some higher tiered patrons from the TETRARCH tiers and higher. To be honest, it is because of these few higher tiered patrons that is so crucial for me to keep doing what I do as what I do is so niche that it’s hard to gain a larger audience. So I’m very grateful to them.

Right now, these are some of the active projects in order of importance related to the contributed amount. I’m able to do these mainly because these patrons also allow me some freedoms in writing the stories attached to the artwork. It is the only way to help keep me inspired instead of being a pay-for-hire artist. I’ll also list some of the projects that have lost their sponsor so another patron could help pick that up if it shows promise. Perhaps it would help that I put out a monthly update on active projects:

• FRUIT BASKET KILLER (new)/ CALIPHATE / OCCULTI VATICANI: CLAUSI CUM CLAVE / MERMAID / THE VANISHING TRIANGLE (new) / MOVEABLE FEAST: XANADU / AGONY OF DEFEAT / & various other works (in periodical rotation thanks to one generous patron!)
• DOOMED RAIDER
• KONGREGATSIYA (new)
• PAINTED BIRD IN LOST CARCOSA
• An active patron who is just wanting me to complete non-story attached scenes I had sketched in previous updates
• Project tentatively titled CHEF SURGEON or DICTATOR involving Asian victims, Korean/Vietnamese in particular (new)

Having listed them here at least will help me track these projects while also serving as a reminder to keep them at my top of mind. And for any of these patrons who don’t see their projects listed here, please send me a DM or email about that and these include APOSTLE tier members who wants to give certain projects a “bump”!  Sadly, the HALL OF FAME where we look at stories of celebrities is now looking for sponsors so I’ll put that on pause now while I focus on the active ones. 

Bon appétit!

The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious. No identification with actual persons (living or deceased), places, buildings, and products is intended or should be inferred. 

I. KONGREGATSIYA

The following are scenes from the project KONGREGATSIYA, featuring a heavy dose of hot Eastern Europeans, disembodied heads, playing with those disembodied heads and more. I have begun to flesh out the story and put together a brief treatment on it. Stay tuned!

The artwork below is for those who are curious. Lately, I’ve found it useful to layer my works for flexibility for whenever I convert them into comics or a graphic novel.

II. CLAUSI CUM CLAVE

Here are the completed colored works of a pair of scenes of the live girl in the story, “OCCULTI VATICANI: CLAUSI CUM CLAVE”.

And again, as I experiment more on “layering”, here’s the version with the hands.

III. THE TROPICAL TAILLEUR CUT

These are works in progress of the colorization of a scene that as of now, doesn’t have a story which has been commissioned by a patron for me to finish. I plan to have more hands playing on the meat. But for now, here’s the isolated version and its progress.

IV. BONUS COLORED ARTWORK

This one’s an older piece, initially attached to a story but has since been “orphaned” as I had pivoted from the preparation approach, but since it may be linked to another. But I thought I should share this first rather than keep it to myself.

So below.

V. BONUS BLACK & WHITE SKETCHES

I was experimenting with a couple of approaches here with various stages of the hollow of the carcass. I haven’t decided which one I like better, the one that’s narrower or wider. Maybe both.

Image 10-11: (2 black & white sketches of a similar scene)

And below is a few scenes of hands playing on the Boho Cut of the carcass, massaging, pinching, and then chopping.

Image 12-14: (3 black & white sketched artwork of a similar scene)

And the following is a scene from the HALL OF FAME I was working on before the project ended up on pause. Which is of another famed actress ending up as an edible trophy which the second is of a scene I had sitting in my sketchbook for the longest time. Like in the past, I will just share these first.
