Part of why Parker's story goes nowhere is because I initially didn't have a good reason why she wasn't always on the squad. She's a ball of positive energy that's got an in with the head cheerleader. Seems like a no-brainer. If I had to come up with a canon reason for why Jane changed her mind, I'd say it was because Parker lacked the confidence for it until recently.

Also this is my at...

Raina in Bed

Been awhile since I've managed a commission! The decision to start taking every other Monday off from pin ups and strips has already done a lot to open up my schedule and give me some breathing room. And commissions are back at last because I can work at my own pace on them without a strict deadline looming over my head. I've only got a few names left on the waiting list I started in 2022, and ...

New Merch Drop!

It feels weird having a Monday off now with my new schedule, but I still have a post to make because new merch is ready to ship! First we've got a holographic sticker featuring Roman and Friday from our upcoming game, This Clandestine World. And just in time to be nowhere near either of their respective holidays, magnets featuring Christmas Mandi and Halloween Abbey are here as well.

So that middle shot of Casey in the sunset is what I think will be the kind of angles I use in the new sex scenes. I really don't want to go full Austin Powers to hide penetration and fluids and I don't want things to look overly censored if I can help it. I just need to practice with less explicit body shots that convey the action while leaving a bit more to the imagination. That...

This scene was already planned back when I thought TRW would still be a fully pornographic comic for the foreseeable future. I worry that people will think Mary's seduction attempt might have gone somewhere if not for the abrupt direction change in my content. Not so. Abbey only has eyes for Casey no matter how hard Mary's abs are.

Meanwhile we're back at the park in Castlewood where Br...

TRW Strips #120

EDIT: Decided to ret-con Abbey into a regular goblin rather than a hobgoblin. It's more what she looks like and I only made her a hobgoblin as a passing reference to Isaac calling her that in the VN.

I'm wondering how to handle these strips with my new, less frequent output schedule. My plan was to alternate between a strip or a pin up every two weeks, but a whole month feels like a long ...

Liz's Appreciation Bread

Well it's been nearly a week. I think that's long enough to assume that everyone who's reading this has seen my post about going R-rated and decided to stick around anyway. You all have my most sincere thanks. Both personally and professionally I have no idea what the future holds for me now, but in the meantime I'm extremely grateful to everyone willing to give my new direction a chance.

I Need One More Week Off and Have Announcements to Make

In general, I've always avoided discussing my personal problems with my audience. It's my job to provide escapism/entertainment after all. Why bog my readers down with my issues unless I absolutely have to?

Well this time I absolutely have to. Recently, the nature of the work I do has had serious negative repercussions on my personal life. As a ...

Reinbach is on Hiatus this Week for Personal Reasons

Unfortunately, sudden and unexpected circumstances have arisen that will make me unable to work this week. If you've been around here awhile I hope you know that I don't just cancel a whole week of work lightly. I apologize for the delay and hope for your understanding. I'll be back here in a week with a status report explaining how things go.

Casey could have taken the time to take a proper shower before rushing off to Royce's place. It's not like Bria was going to be any more or less pregnant when she got there. But I find it more amusing that she would have thought getting to Bria was so urgent that she only had time to wipe down with a towel and not even do a very good job at it.

Patreon Pin Up 4/8/24: Madelyn Pryor

Guess who finally watched X-Men '97 over the weekend? I haven't looked into what the overall public reaction to this latest effort has been, but to me watching this show was like being wrapped in a fuzzy nostalgia blanket. I haven't picked up an X-Men comic in years and my personal superhero movie burnout has progressed to the stage where if a new one doesn't have "Spider Man" in the title I do...

This Romantic World Page 350

And so we abruptly move from a relatively wholesome scene to a very explicit one, as is the TRW way. This probably isn't the messiest page I've I've ever drawn, but it sure feels like it at the moment. I feel like 90% of the work I did today was fluid-related.

I was showing the page to Kal for proofreading and he commented on what a hassle daily life would be, walking around with breasts ...

TRW Strips #119

Fun fact, Morgan's philosophy on fantasy class selection echoes my own. Her line about fireballs is an exact quote from me. Black Mages ftw!

Meanwhile the quest begins!

This Romantic World Page 349

Thanks for waiting, everyone! It's been one hell of a week, but I'm finally more or less recovered and functional again.

Almost 350 pages of a sex comic and I've somehow never drawn a lip biting kiss before. Hope I pulled it off well enough. As for everything else, I know I often detail what I'm trying to convey from a narrative point in this space but this time I'd just like you to tell...

Patreon Pin Up 3/26/24: Red Hood

Red Hood beats Alice in this month's Discord Poll! What I'm wondering is how many of you recognize her or the game she's from: Goddess of Victory:NIKKE.

Nikke is one of those media anomalies that is apparently insanely successful and yet not many seem to talk about it online. At least not in the circles I roll in. To the unaware, I'd best describe it as an extremely horny gallery shoote...

Posting Schedule for this Week

It seems that on every visit to England I'm fated to fall cartoonishly ill at least once. In previous instances I caught said illness on the flight here. (A near statistical certainty if you really stop and think about air travel.) I would bring a good old fashioned farm to table American virus to share with my English friends the moment I arrived. Not so this time, oddly enough. I was even sea...

This Romantic World Page 348

Now that I've formally established Elianna's horny outbursts as a recurring thing, I feel like I can talk more about why they happen. The way I see it, she's a Castlewood native like everyone else and has the same jacked-up sex drives they do. She just represses those urges until a blowup is inevitable and she makes out with her topless maid or shoves her tongue down Derek's throat while grind...

TRW Strips #118

New story time! I figured I'd avoid doing two "day in the life" stories in a row but we'll come back to that idea later. This one takes place just a little later than the current pages of the comic. Keeping the exact time frame hazy for now but it's after the night at the strip club where Morgan was licking stripper feet like there was no tomorrow.

Fun fact I avoided saying "Dungeons and ...

This Romantic World Page 347

For the backgrounds here, I've taken to an unlikely source for reference: Google Street View. I took some screen grabs of the very streets I used to roam myself and painted over top of them. It's not a perfect system, but it will do in situations like this where it's hard to find a decent 3D model of what I'm looking for. The weed shops aren't on this particular street but they had to be in the...

Patreon Pin Up 3/11/24: Marle

Everybody knows Akira Toriyama was a big name in anime/manga. Even if you never watched an anime in your life, you've heard of Dragon Ball Z.  Though it wasn't until his passing last week that I realized the depth of HOW accomplished this man truly was. I don't know what your Twitter feed looked like over the weekend, but mine was transformed into an endless procession of mournful condolen...

This Romantic World Page 346

Now I'm trying to think of what other ways Bishop Meadow could be the Bizarro version of Castlewood. If you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them. XD

It makes sense to me that Trish and Liz would clash. I mean, most people clash with Trish. Bria is one of the rare cases of someone who got close enough to her to see her positive qualities come out. But I figure between Trish'...

TRW Strips #117

Story complete! On my end, I imagine Courtney's romantic shortcomings always having stemmed from an ongoing series of wrong place/wrong time sort of scenarios. Like how she didn't realize she had feelings for Abbey until she'd already missed her window, that kind of thing. 

In any case it's time for me to decide who to focus on for the next strip. As of this writing I have nothing se...

This Romantic World Page 345

If you're wondering where Elianna is, she stomped off in another direction. Probably for the best as if she came around a corner and saw this display in her current mental state she would have hulked out for real. We'll get to this in a page or two organically but I thought I'd mention it here.  Also on the previous page I was going to show Morgan's Stadia hoodie draped over Liz's head aaa...

TRW Strips #116

A strip two weeks in a row? Not exactly. The strips are made with tweaked assets duct taped together with the intent of giving me a slightly lighter workload every other Monday. Nothing reused here, so it's a pin up wearing a strip's hat and glasses. I figure mixing these two formats will give me the freedom to add more elaborate sex scenes to the strip stories when they call for it.

Mean...

This Romantic World Page 344

I try to keep Elianna grounded and sympathetic as a character, even if she is often an antagonist of sorts in the story. But I also think that every so often her rich-girl upbringing should creep through. You have to be a very entitled sort to speak to service workers as though you're the one signing their checks if you ask me. XD

Meanwhile it looks as though Morgan's sub-state can wear o...

TRW Strips #115

Isaac and Parker win the threesome vote in this month's Discord poll! I imagined it wasn't much of a leap to think that Parker and Courtney would hit it off immediately, as they're the two purest souls in the whole comic. 

Anyway Courtney's story has just two pages left now! Hope you guys have enjoyed this new format for the strips so far! 

This Romantic World Page 343

Trish likes Bria, but all the same I think it would be fun if she just can't keep her bully nature in check from time to time. Meanwhile in hindsight it's clear to me that I took on more than I could easily handle in a narrative sense with this whole scene. It was harder than I thought it would be to juggle so many characters at once without the pace being dragged down. Naturally it's a relief ...

Patreon Pin Up 2/12/24: Junpei and Yukari

Persona 3: Reload came out recently, giving me my long awaited chance to get revenge against the game. I say this because I loved the original but was never able to finish it. The game was frankly too hard for me and had what I considered to be a malicious disrespect for my time. Been dungeon crawling for an hour and took one unlucky hit combo? Too bad, sucker! Start over from your last save! Y...

This Romantic World Page 342

Thanks for waiting everyone! I'm settled and back on schedule over here now. 

Looks like Bria wasn't being entirely honest when she told Trish she had no ulterior motives for this visit. I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and say she didn't plan on dragging Trish outside to fool around. It just sorta happened when she saw her. 

That's all for now, hope you lik...

TRW is Running a Day Behind Because I moved to England This Week.

I was, in hindsight, overconfident that I'd still manage to crank out TRW on schedule this week regardless. But between the jet lag, getting settled into new digs, and being flung five hours into the future to boot it's clear to me that I need an extra day to produce a comic page that isn't rushed. Sorry for the delay, TRW hits this Friday night!
