Dress to Thrill - pg 02

The challenge with these types of story always feels like, how fast can we get to the Fireworks Factory, aka the change. But we also need to set up some of the world and the characters before things get too far. 

Especially since this is a real world place where I spent ten years, I know so much about it, and it makes it even harder t...

New Comic! New Schedule!

We are starting our new comic this week. Open Trade will continue it's 6 page updates, and Dress to Thrill will fill up the rest of the Mon/Wed monthly calendar. Likely 2/3 pages a month. 

We are still in the intro, so I don't have a lot to say yet. But will answer questions as we go. 

informal poll - magic or dressing?

Working on some new stuff. I can see our tg change happening with magic or with costumes. I'm leaning a certain way, but I'm curious what you call think. 

It's informal as I may just go the direction I'm already considering, regardless of the results. But it's good to know how people feel. 

Poll - Lexi has a New Trade

Thank you all for the suggestions for Lexi in the last comic page. I decided to try to include as many of those options in this poll as i could. A couple got left out for some behind the scenes reasons, but are likely to show up later on. 

Vote below to see what happens next to Lexi.

Let's hear your questions and additional desi...

The tables continue to flip for Lexi. 

Maybe Steph needs to get duolingo as her stream sponsor.

Q&A : Aftermath of the Aftermath

Ask your questions below about Con Artist and I shall answer. 

I wanted to touch on some general thoughts on Con Artist and Con Artist Aftermath. 

I orignally had a long plan when I was writing the original story. It was going to be from the start of the story until she hit her front door. Continuing to foc...

A new day for our girls as Stephanie starts to get into her routine.

I know this may not be one of the most exciting pages, but I do think this are important to have a clear start to a new day, and touch base on where Stephanie is right now. 

Next page we are back to the stream and trades. 

Follow Up Poll : Steph's Style (updated)

EDIT: Ok, I was debating doing it before the send, but I'll do it now. Examples I like of each style. All the styles have some overlap

Stephanie getting a new fashion style. I would call her current style "Athleisure". Since getting her fitness obsession, she's been in a lot of leggins, sweats, and sports bras. We'll still...

Captioned Image - Screaming Banshee

I thought I'd mix up the captioned image a bit and make it more of a scene. I might continue to play around with the medium and see if this develops more into vignettes or one-shots.

Con Artist : Aftermath - 31

Wrapping up our story today with a bit of a coda. She has more con to go and books to sell, but she's confident and safe messing things up for her remaining time. 

As this is our ending, I'm likely to do a Q&A covering any questions you have. Leave anything you are curious about below. I'll do my best to answer and bring the big q...

Status Updates - Stephanie June 2023

We had a couple months of no changes as we gave Stephanie time to discover and see the results of her last trade. But also means no updates to list above in this month's art. 

Next week, we continue with Lexi and Steph's trades. 

This week may be the end of Con Artist Aftermath

Poll : Stephanie's Next Trade

Stephanie also needs to make her trades as well. This is the second to last one. 

Below, share what you want to see for her final trade. Sky's the limit. 

Poll : Lexi's Next Trade EDIT

Edit: I made a mistake, we already did Lexi's Poll. It's Steph's turn. 

https://www.patreon.com/posts/poll-lexis-next-81430740

So far Lexi has become a women and got a very increased bust size. What's next for her?

Open Trade - Pg 151

A little more jealously from Lexi as Stephanie makes a connection. 

For context, I intended for Lexi to be referring to Alex, but I won't discount the idea of her claiming dibs.

Back to new trades on the next batch of pages. 

Open Trade - Pg 150

150 is a big milestone. Been a lot of pages so far. This week a clerk helps and causes some conflict. 

Open Trade - pg 149

Sorry we are a little later than anticipated. I'm balancing some new meds. Nothing serious, but enough to make me feel alot more drained than normal. Then when I went to finish the page, I found out that I lost all my work. I had to start over from scratch. 

There was a pin up promised for today. I'm going to hold it until next friday...

Slight Delay - Open Trade

Sorry. I'm adjusting to some new meds and fell a little behind. I'm hoping to get the new page sometime up today.

Thank you for your patience.

Update: I lost all my work and will need to start over. It will take a bit longer. 

Open Trade - Pg 148

The girls arrive at the mall and continue the conversation. Lexi seems interested in some of the answers. 

Q&A : What about AI?

AI is an interesting new horizon that is not going anywhere. It is going to be pervasive and will be invading every aspect of our lives over the next decade. It’s already been a part of our lives for a while now...

The girls are on the way to the mall and having a bit of a chat on the way. 

Playing a bit with photo reference on this page as cars are hard to draw. But helped get out ladies into place. 

Open Trade - Pg 146

Lexi gets to see a side of Stephanie she knew was there. She hopes was there. But was Lexi ready for it?

Captioned Image : Life's a Peach

Playing a little catch up with a captioned image ona Sat Morning. I almost had this done on Friday, but I got pulled away from the desk.

I thought a little Mario themed cap would be fun with the movie being out.

I based her look off of an amazing cosplayer, CheeseCakePanda.

I admit, I wasn't sure what to call the location. Wher...

Con Artist : Aftermath - 30

We are winding down and wrapping up things here with Stacy before the end comes. 

Thank you all for your patience on the delay this week. Getting over covid and birthday and new meds really messed up the whole process. But new meds feel pretty good as they kick in now. 

Aftermath Delay

hey folks. Sorry for the late notice, but I'm going to push back Aftermath a day or so. Between recovering from covid, some birthday stuff and some heavier personal emotional things. I need quick little break. just to make sure I can deliver a good page for you all. 

Sorry for the interruption.
