[Announcement] Lust & Lore - Part 1

Published: December 23rd 2024, 4:27:09 pm

Hi everyone!

The next comic is called Lust & Lore, and it’s my personal take on the “game causes girl to grow” trope, which many other creators have already explored. I think I have some pretty unique ideas to give the whole concept a fresh twist, but you’ll be the judges of that once the comic is finished ^^

With all the upcoming holidays, it’s hard for me to predict exactly when the comic will be ready, but I’ll do my best to make sure it’s out before the end of the year!

Contagious Augmentation - Part 4

Alright, let’s keep this part brief, because I still have some Christmas wishes to share and a few general words about the end of the year since the post for Lust & Lore will - as usual - only contain a short blurb and the link to the comic.

First off, I want to apologize for messing up the release of Contagious Augmentation - Part 4. I’m not sure how many of you noticed, but right after I posted the comic, my website went offline for several minutes and remained unstable for hours afterward. I still don’t know exactly what caused the issue, but my investigations suggest that two factors were at play: first, a faulty WordPress plugin that kept crashing the server, and second, the sheer number of people trying to access the comic all at once (I’m so glad there are so many of you, but the server wasn't haha). But don’t worry, I’ve already addressed both issues. The buggy plugin has been removed, and I’ve doubled the server’s CPU resources and RAM to hopefully ensure the next release goes smoothly.

Now that that’s out of the way, let’s get into the content. This comic features several elements I haven’t done before. For one, the comic essentially tells two separate stories. I knew while writing it that this was a bit of a risky concept, but I think it turned out pretty well. That said, I do feel like each story ended up feeling a bit rushed as a result. It’s always incredibly hard for me to judge this because I’ve read the story hundreds of times during its creation, so I struggle to imagine how it feels for someone reading it for the first time. Feel free to let me know your thoughts on this ^^

Something entirely new for me was also the penis growth scene that snuck in on pages 13 and 14. It fit well into the story, but honestly, I mostly wanted to experiment and see how Stable Diffusion handled it — and the answer is: surprisingly well. I think we might see similar things in future comics, though probably not as prominently or over two full pages. Maybe something shorter, like half a page — can’t let the boobies loose too much screen time, haha.

Another new concept is the impregnation scene on the last page. In my opinion, the page turned out really well, and I definitely want to include similar scenes in future comics, but damn, it was a lot of work. Stable Diffusion absolutely did not understand what I was asking for here. As far as I can remember, I spent more than six hours on that one page. But looking at the finished product, I think it was totally worth it. Along with page 18, it’s definitely my highlight of this comic ^^

Now, at the very end, I just want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for your support <3

When I started making these comics, I never thought many people would be interested. In fact, I never even planned to release my comics publicly. Ever since Stable Diffusion 1.5 came out, I’d been playing around with it, amazed by the technology and having tons of fun bringing various prompts to life. Eventually, I wanted to take on a more ambitious project: a comic. Just to see if I could do it. And — like 99% of all people experimenting with Stable Diffusion — NSFW was obviously on my mind, haha.

Fast forward a few days, and... I’d done it. I had created a full comic with Stable Diffusion and was really happy with it. So what now? Naturally, I saved it in some obscure corner of my computer and left it there — publishing it never even crossed my mind. It was just my little hobby project, nothing more. (This was around the end of 2023, by the way.)

Over the next few months, I created a few more comics, again just for my personal enjoyment. It wasn’t until summer, when I started looking for a side job because inflation (sadly the bad kind, the one that takes away your money) had made it almost impossible for me to afford my studies, that I thought, “Hey, maybe I could make a little money off this hobby if I published my comics.” After agonizing over the decision for ages, I finally decided one day: I’d post my very first comic. That was in summer 2024, and what happened next is history (haha, I’ve always wanted to say that).

I still remember when I posted my (third or fourth?) comic and, for the first time, added a Patreon link. My goal was simple: to get one single patron — that would’ve made me happy. My long-term goal, which seemed ridiculously ambitious to me at the time, was to reach 100 patrons by the end of the year. Then I’d decide whether to keep making comics or not. The first goal (1 patron) was achieved within minutes, as far as I can remember. Within a day or two, I think I had about 20 people already gathered here. And now... well, as I’m writing this, we’re at a whopping 835 patrons — more than eight times my original long-term goal. I honestly don’t know what to say. I never imagined I’d get this far or achieve this much success with this hobby.

Since I’m no literary genius, I’ll just say it simply: Thank you. You’re all amazing. Thank you for your support, which allows me to keep creating these comics. Thank you for your comments, whether on Patreon or other platforms. I read every single one and always get so much joy from hearing that you enjoy my work.

I have so many ideas for future comics that I can’t wait to bring to life and share with you!
Even if the current state of the world is more on the “meh” side, I’m sure we have a fantastic year ahead of us here ^^

We’ll talk again when Lust & Lore comes out, sometime between Christmas and New Year’s.
Until then, happy holidays and take care!
