WIPS and Progress Update

Hey everyone! Here's the progress on the goods from this month!

For the last few weeks, I've been laser-focused on Devout, and while it's shaping out nicely, it will need some more time in the oven before I can get these pages to you. This batch is focused on drama and some lore dumps, which have been challenging to get just right. I'm targeting the end of March or early April. Your patie...

Poll Winner and other WIPs

Our winner is the Ally Encounter. Should be fun!

My internet provider decided to work on service in my area the last few days and ended up fucking up the internet so I've been a little disconnected from the socials for a few days. Here are a few wips from over the weekend. Sketched out some beautified Fem John for this next Devout update. along with the outline of the pages. This next l...

Inner Demons 3 - Color Corrected

Here are the correct images of Inner Demons after I switched to CSP and were improperly exported. These are the intended brightness.

Apologies for how long it took me to figure this out. 

More corrections are on the way.

March Illustration Poll

This a late start to the poll this month, but here it is. Harpy monster girl is back for A—an overzealous Nun for B. A cock sleeve bonded one for C, with a new sketch being a succubus ally encounter for D.

Reminder: The higher your pledge the more your vote is worth and you can vote for more th...

Den Mother pg 1-2

A few days overdue, but I'm happy with the result.

I personally like the idea of a semi-hairy wolf girl, so my take is that the females have no tails but tufts of hair in key areas that I find appealing. But that's just me. We'll see what a male looks like on pages 3 and 4, and it will be more familiar for lycanthrope.

High Res and Black and White versions are available for Matrons ...

March Content Schedule

February is finally over! By far the craziest month for me as of late. I am still dealing with the aftermath of recent events and waiting for the dust to settle. But overall, some positive changes are happening for me irl to optimize my living and work-life better going into March!

So here is the plan for March content:

First, the February Spellbound Short C...

February Illustration - Communion

"The Order of the Silver Shadow, the secret and apocryphal sub-order within the church, deems itself the righteous weapon of God and the soldiers of the front lines defending earth from the demons that pray on humanity's souls. With desire being the primary weapon of the demonic, the Sisterhood must adopt ways of seduction to combat the encroaching preternatural forces.

2023 Commission Rates, Sketches and WIPs

Hello Everyone! I have returned from my trips and have been itching to return to work. In this batch, we have a lot of slutty nuns and their rituals, some concepting their powers and abilities to compete against the well-established succubi in Spellbound effectively. I'm drafting a lore document that will be available for Matriarch patrons and above soon.

I've also settled on my commissio...

Our February illustration winner will be the Mother Superior. It should be fun!

As an FYI for how content will roll out the rest of the month, I am traveling a LOT this week for my grandfather's funeral. Wed, I'm driving all day. Thursday, I'm flying all day. Friday and Saturday are funeral services and celebrations. I am flying back Monday and driving Tuesday. It's nonstop. But as soon a...

Devout 2.8-11

It's here! Sorry once again for the lateness of these pages.


I hope you guys like it! I'm pretty happy with how these pages turned out. The detail on the Golem and the Feilds of Decay panels are some of my favorites from this batch. I h


I also realized these pages are labeled chapter 3 instead of chapter 2, as the last chapter was labeled chapter 1. This is because I started...

February Illustration Poll

Alright, the first month with the new weighted voting system. We'll see how it goes! Not many changes from pervious polls, but who knows what will happen? 

I've added a new Holy Futa Nun sketch and brought back some more recent ones that did well.

Patreon doesn't give me the feature to...

February Spellbound Schedule!

Hello friends! Hope you all had a good start to 2023. January started off great for me and quickly spiraled into a very hectic month. My planned release for Devout pages 8-11 is taking longer than expected. But first some housekeeping!

New Patreon Tiers are available!

These are a work in progress and require some fine tuning as I'm going to add special thumbnails an...

As a progress update for Devout it still needs a bit of time in the oven. My target release is early February. 

Thanks as always! And enjoy!

Upcoming Spellbound Patreon Changes

Hello Friends!

It's almost been two years since turning to full-time freelance art as my primary income, and it has been a wild ride. Dealing with a pandemic and other crazy changes around the world definitely wouldn't have gone as smoothly as it did without your help! So reflecting on my successes and failures, it's long past time since I optimize my freelance career for success.

Big changes are on the way in February so this will be the last monthly poll to bare the name "pinup" as it's long overdue for a name change. In February this will be known as the Monthly Illustration as it's just ...

What kind of smut stories are your favorite?

I usually enjoy seeing our characters earn their transformations, internally and externally. The main comics I run tend to have higher stakes with characters somewhat determining their own destinies through their decisions. On the other hand I also sometimes need a quick fix thus the short comics are more for indulgent juxtapositions of forced corruption and transformations.

What initially brought you to Spellbound?

There's honestly a lot of you! And you keep coming back! This might be a silly question but it's important for me so I can keep drawing what you guys want to see and keep it aligned with what I want to do with my art. 

If your specific option isn't there, or even if it is, please leave a comment or DM me your specific reason for becoming a patron!

CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY!...

What kind of art would you like to see this year?

Here's a poll for the format of the monthly images! A few years ago, I realized that people come here to see more Spellbound characters, so I stuck to the Spellbound Characters Only curriculum for a while. Now that there are established characters and factions, I'll ask the question again. This is just to help me decide what to include in the monthly pinup sketches and other reward options.&nbs...

2022 A Year In Review

As we close 2022 and dive into 2023, I want to thank everyone who stuck with me this year. You're all fantastic, incredibly supportive, and understanding. I learned a lot this year, about my art and where I want to go in the future. Many goals I set out to make at the beginning of the year didn't quite make it to fruition some I did manage to complete and revel in. So let's take a look at the u...

December Pinup - New Toy

This image was very fun to create! There were some early frustrations with the perspective ruler in CSP, but once I learned its nuances, the image started to look right proportionally. 

My next project is to put together the Year in Review for 2022, and Wicked Hunter will have to wait until early Jan, but it will kick off after the New Year. The work never stops! But I will take New ...

Devout 3.4-7

Introducing probably my first real fleshed-out male character. Dr. Simon Winslow, the cliche psychiatrist/supernatural scholar, our protagonists visit to have the plot explained to them lol I have plans for him! So expect to see some more male-dominated action in the future.

Some artist comments: I'm pushing for a lighter rendering stage with this comic to reduce production time. And it w...

December Pinup Poll

I've added three new sketches, as some losing sketches have been around for quite a while. You guys surprised me last month in voting for just the standered pinup so I included another one this month.

End of the Year Content Schedule

Hey Friends!

2022 is coming to a close and wanted to give you a quick guide on the slew of posts coming your way this month!

Gonna be a busy December for me I've talked with the family about giving me the space and the time to get all I need done to be on track and prepare for 2023.

First in the pipeline is the Pinup Poll for December. I have a few new sketches ready.  View Post

November Pinup

Hope you all had a good holiday weekend. And those who are not on holiday hopefully the monthly pinup will make it better.

This one I'm pretty happy with. The colors and the lighting really work for me as I try to keep most of my colorful succubi unique enough while still in the purples and reds of the Spellbound color pallet.

Likewise some subtle story sprinkled in is always fun. S...
