Open Trade - pg 50

We made it to page 50!! 

So a little world building here. I get worried when I shove a lot of exposition back to back. I know it can be a lot with explaining how the app can update record and introducing the idea that salons can use heavily regulated nanobots. 

We'll get into it a bit more on future pages. 

Open Trade - Pg 49

The girls go for a little car ride while Stephanie updates her name with the wonders of the internet. 

New Year. New Month. New Pages. 

Welcome to 2022. I hope this year turns out great for everyone. 

Bonus : Story Cap - Student Life

I wanted to do something special and make a captioned image. I used to make these when I first entered the community once upon a time. I thought this would be a fun way to explore the world, or different worlds, and do something more focused on the writing. 

I'm not sure yet if this will be a regular feature. But let me know your thou...

Con Artist : Aftermath - 10 (Update)

EDIT: Sometimes I'm working out a page and I think something is going to read well, and I don't have to put too fine a point on it. Then I read the comments and realize I messed up. I totally see where the confusion was. My bad.
I did an update of the last panel to help clarify, although, goth!Gwen would be fun. 

Gwen lets out a l...

Status Update - Dec 2021

I swapped this post and the Con Artist update. I wasn't feeling well and wanted to give myself some more time. I'm likely off getting a covid test while this posts. 
(Update: Covid test came back negative)

2021 is almost finally over. 

It hasn't been all bad. It's been bad, but I have some really nice successes. <...

December 2021 Schedule - Update

We are doing a bit of an adjustment to the schedule this month. There was a sudden death in the family, and I need some time. Basically I'm pushing things back to the end of the month. 

Basically, I'm ready for this year to be over. I did some good stuff and got engaged. But I also lose 5 people close and/or important to me. And it ki...

Poll: Hair Style

Since hair was very close in the last poll, lets take a trip to the salon and get Wyatt/Stephanie a new hair style. 

How we will do this is I'll post some samples of the hair below with a number by each one. 

I do have a couple notes: 

• 7 & 8 can also be achieved by options 1, 2, & 4. If one of them ...

Open Trade - Pg 48

Depending on what time zone you are in, this is still going up on the correct day as promised. 15 mins to midnight where I am. 

Monitors have been installed, wrong, returned, ordered, arrived and installed once again. I can see what I'm working on!

And next month, Wyatt/Stephanie is taking a trip to the salon. A lot of things to...

Open Trade - Pg 47

Jocelyn comes to Wyatt's rescue to her away from mom. Hopefully mom can calm down before they return. Maybe. 

Delay - Technical Difficulties

Over the weekend, my monitors decided to crash and burn. Losing images and colors. So I lost a lot of time getting new monitors, adjusting, installation and then problem solving the new problems that new monitors caused. 

Everything is going to be pushed back a bit, but I'll try to get stuff up as soon as I can. 

Sorry for ...

What is in a name?

Welcome Stephanie to the story as we are finally having Wyatt adopt a new name. 

Open Trade - Pg 45

Mom's reaction doesn't seem very chill with this revelation. 

Jocelyn and Abigail seem concerned.

Open Trade - Pg 44

A new month! I hope you all survived the Turkey Day (if you are in the states). 

Wyatt is also spending time with family and it's instant chaos with 2 of his sisters in the same room and his mom. A little bit of me and my sis with Jocelyn. I don't think my sis knows what Twitch is. But she does watch quilting live streams on YouTube.<...

Q&A - Origin Story

I think with any story about someone's past, I left out alot that just didn't fit this narrative. 

I had a lot of other weird, crazy jobs that also made me who I am today, but they didn't really fit into this story. I haven't done a freelance photo job in a few years. I normally turn them down or give them to other people. However, I ...

Status Update - Nov 2021

No changes this month, but we get Wyatt back in the classic green we've been dressing her in. 

Have a happy and safe thanksgiving. 

Guest Art - Disarming Wyatt

A while back Deko was open for commissions, and I'm a fan of their art and took them up on one. While discussing options, Deko liked the idea of Wyatt, and put Wyatt through their own poll, without the limits of our story. 

Deko explores a lot of different types of TF, which I realize are not everyone's cup of tea, but still wanted to...

Con Artist - Pg 9

We have left green and in all pink now for the beer hall. Gwen is figuring out what is going on. 

POLL: What's in a name? - Repost

EDIT: I was sick last night, and meant to add the name Stephanie and never did. Once a poll goes live, I cannot edit it. So I thought we'd just go without it. Team Write-In really made their voice heard. So since it has been only an hour since I posted the poll, I'm reposting it now with Stephanie. Sorry for the double post.

It's time for an AMA

It's been a hot minute since I've done a Q&A session. I know I haven't really done one since starting Open Trade. Largely because I tend to be very available on discord ( Our Server is here - https://discord.gg/bcxJGftAyV Join Us ). 

Leave your questions for me ...

Open Trade - Pg 43

Time to meet Mrs. Hunter. 

Open Trade - 42

Wyatt makes it back her family home and it's not long before she runs into a sister. 

Open Trade - Pg 41

It's a new day and Wyatt is nervous about her trip to see family. And it's time for a skirt!

Open Trade - Pg 40

This concludes the broadcast day for Wyatt as we follow Wyatt on her trip home. 

Open Trade - Pg 39

A new month as Wyatt realizes how she changed. 

Status Update #4 - Ethnicity

A bit of an update and a costume. Much asked for with Halloween. So I decided now was as good of time as any. We'll get her in some normal clothes next pin up. 

Con Artist : Aftermath - 8

I did manage to get a page done after all. Powered through. 

Anyways, things seem to continue to shift for Gwen. 

Con Artist Delay - Pest

Basically, I sat down to draw this weekend and a mouse ran across the other side of the basement. 

So I spent the entire rest of the weekend dealing with the pest issue. I think I have it under control. 

But It's the night before my scheduled post for the page, and I am still doing pencils. I'm going to try, but I am not op...

Poll: It's about Family

Wyatt is going to be offline for a bit, so that does change up how we do the polls. So we are going to shape Wyatt's family a bit. I'm going to put in a bunch of options for family below.  The top result(s) will be true for Wyatt's family. 

So you may vote for more than one result. I'll mix and match the results accordingly....

Open Trade - Pg 38

Wyatt getting one more trade before going off into the world for a bit. Should be enlightening. 

LIVE CHAT is open! Leave your comment in the format of "username: comment" to see it appear in the story!

Open Trade - Pg 37

Wyatt has some reservations about doing a second trade on the same day, especially before going to see family. But it can't be that extreme, right?
