Dear Patrons,

Here’s another update. I’m sorry I’ve cut it pretty close to fulfill the 3x per month update, at least in the Americas, but for some in the globe, it has moved on to the next month. So I hope you can forgive me for being one day late.

On another note, I still am receiving messages from patrons who are unfamiliar with the new updates. As a reminder, bonus content is found within this post with a link that’s viewable once you’re logged in to your active account. Since I process memberships manually, please send me a message so I can upgrade you.

I’m still building the momentum and I hope some of you can still bear with me. Right now, as I process the commissions of DOOMED RAIDER, FRUIT BASKET KILLER, AGONY OF DEFEAT among others, I will move on to the others for the next update. Sometimes, a project is creatively challenging to continue if the requests are inflexible and I’ll usually try my best to fulfill them. And there will be times where I’ll feel a little stuck creatively especially if I’m to work on just one female subject. You only have one person, with multiple ways to tell a story, but you can only choose one. Some projects are easier than others, but the reason being is that I would be focused on just one “death” or one style of “processing” and as stories, it won’t be logical for a story that for the same girl to have multiple ways of dispatching them. So it’s usually easier to reserve one method for one subject.

For one of my patrons who’ve given me a bunch of subjects to work on, I found that it’s been excessively easier to deliver on them as it creates a range for me to move from one girl to the next as a scenario idea comes up. The same goes if the one who requests a commission would send me multiple scenarios for me to choose from instead of just one. In the end, I will still try my best and make up for the delayed response. In the end, whatever I post, I want to maintain the same quality and I would rather quit than to see my works lose their quality and passion.

In the meantime, on to the artwork. Again, DISCIPLE tier members or higher, you should be able to see an image link below. Click to download the bonus content contained within this update.

The following are projects along with synopsis. It will mostly be repeated from previous journals but I will make some updates as the story evolves. If you see the project name without images, it means there are bonus images available through the exclusive download link found below below. 

Bon appétit!

BIZARRE BAZAAR (more artwork in bonus content)

Young women from around the world go missing. Were some of them kidnapped? Or did they fall victim to a mysterious and cryptic internet rabbit hole concept referring to a trend found in the dark web, the one they call the Winding Stare? Not much is known as all its participants who completed the challenge would vanish without a trace. Selfie photos would eventually turn up through dark web chat rooms, the victim holding a note in various languages, saying “Eat Me”, along with a strange symbol and a tattoo and sometimes a presence of a plush toy pig, deer and various other domesticated animals. Are they AI generated fakes? Are they part of a sexualized stunt of this macabre game? What could this mean? And the meaning of the note can’t be that literal, can it? Internet rumors abound about this tried being connected to a mysterious group called the Spiderfly Society and an event called the Bizarre Bazaar. Nobody but those involved knows.

DOOMED RAIDER (more artwork in bonus content)

A trio of female adventurers head into the jungles of Mexico days before the Great American Eclipse of 2024 in search for a lost temple and the legendary city of Aztlan only to find their mission thwarted by a rival faction of expeditioners, local cartel gang and a mysterious Aztec death cult. Will our intrepid heroines survive?

MOVEABLE FEAST: XANADU (more artwork in bonus content)

A real estate agent hoping to land the sale of her lifetime, a once beloved mall in her neighborhood. Many memories were formed in the old abandoned megaplex, a sad tale of times past, the golden age of the 90’s and the 00’s of happier times where the young go out to eat, buy and play. Like old VHS tapes and Atari game consoles, it too has gone out of style. This time, the mall will embed within its place a terrible and indelible memory of its own, a fleeting and temporary reverie, before burying all its secrets, destroying all evidence of horrific ritual acts that had consecrated the ground of this condemned building for its new dark purpose for the Kronos Consortium.

FRUIT BASKET KILLER (more artwork in bonus content)

A serial killer operating on the Eastern Coast of the U.S. responsible for a string of disappearances and murders. Only the victims’ heads are left in a fruit basket on a kitchen counter of various unoccupied homes that have been put up on the market. However, the rest of the bodies are unaccounted for. The victims tend to be housewives, teachers and counselors from well-to-do families and the FBI have built an extensive profile of the potential suspects, that the perpetrator might be a young troubled youth who harbors resentment to teachers or of older women.

LOBSTER’S BALL: AGONY OF DEFEAT (more artwork in bonus content)

The dreaded cargo vessel LOBSTER’S BALL makes its port of call in New Orleans. Masquerades. Mardi Gras. Processions. Voodoo. A celebrated collegiate gymnast who has drawn the ire of the sports commission executives with dark appetites. But first, they would like to watch her use those fine muscles to run, jump and escape. You could call it, staying with the seafood theme, a kind of a “Squid Game“.

OCCULTI VATICANI aka THE UNHOLY SEE: CLAUSI CUM CLAVE

An American tourist has been marked by a seller targeting tourists in Rome’s most popular attraction. However to her surprise, the seller wasn’t the usual scam artist, for he did not ask for payment and she left happily wearing a pretty green woven bracelet. Little does she know that this gift asks something much more of her in return, to become an integral partipant in a ritual for those who dwell below. 

A disgraced American chef desperate to climb back the ladder in the world of culinary excellence visits Rome for a different reason. Seeing the newspaper with the words “Donna Americana Scomparsa” leaves him feeling overcome with shame for he knows of the true fate of the missing tourist.

LAST DAYS OF WINTER (more artwork in bonus content)

A hiking couple journey out into the mountains of the Sierra Nevadas just as a blizzard is about to hit. Little does the woman know, her companion has dark motives for bringing them out there to such a remote area.

PAINTED BIRD IN LOST CARCOSA (more artwork in bonus content)

An accountant finds some financial discrepancies within her corporation and as a reward, is invited by her higher ups to a corporate event in a secluded rural part of Southeastern US. In the end, she finds herself caught in a conspiracy of hidden secret societies of the Old World who has a hobby of hunting the most beautiful game.

HAND-DRAWN WORKS FROM YORE (more artwork in bonus content)

Here’s where I revisit and dig up some of my old physically drawn artworks that I’ve scanned. I’ll try to do this once every so often. I’ve not really set up anything officially yet, but I’m slowly opening the door to the thought of selling these original hand-drawn artworks for those who are interested. Full artworks are found in the download link.

I’ve also dug up some occasional comic strip style works I’ve done way way back, one you see here with the uncensored version in the bonus content section. If folks are interested, I could keep posting them in each update, almost like what the old newspapers do for each publication.

ODDS AND ENDS (more artwork in bonus content)

And again, here’s a reminder that there are more bonus artworks exclusive for DISCIPLE members and higher. Some of these include rough sketches, ideas I’ve been playing around with or artworks that are not currently attached to any project.

Log in and click on the download link above to view them in all its uncensored glory.
