grOw/cOmic#6, page 104 completed!

I finally was able to complete page 104 today. When it rains, it pours. "Real life" work hit me for a hard (albiet brief) period over the last week. It's been so quite lately and *bam* FOUR clients all come for some work in 2 days (some who I haven't heard from in over a year). Well, 3 of the 4 jobs are done and the last one is 80% done. Soon it will be back to grOw with my full attention. With page 104 completed, that's 12 pages done, 6 to go. We are at the two-thirds mark!

grOw/stOry#16 Completed! To Be Released Soon!

I have completed the final illustration of the 22 images that are to appear in the upcoming grOw/stOry, "The Blooming of Bonnie". This includes a few image edits that I had to go back and make due to some... undesirable results. I also just finished polishing and editing the story. All that is left it the final production of the PDF, the eReader versions, website, and setting up the store. I am hoping to have a release before Saturday, March 22, with a goal of Friday, March 21.  The next post to this blog will announce the release of grOw/stOry#16. Enjoy the last preview!

grOw/stOry#16, more than 20 images completed

I made some more great progress this week, nearly completing 5 images. I wasn't able to quite finish illustration #21, but got damn close in the 80-85% range. Five of the six images I worked on this week were 2-page spreads, so that is part of reason that the extra time that was required. I also worked on a lot of grammatical edits to the story, polishing it up a bit more. I am hoping to have a release by next weekend, if all goes right — cross your fingers.

grOw/stOry#16: 16 illustrations done, 6 to go.

It's been another great week in terms of completing the illustrations for "The Blooming of Bonnie", the next grOw/stOry. I was able to finish illustration 12 — which I had left off halfway through at the end of last week — and then went on to complete 13, 14, 15, and 16! I am very happy with the results, too. I have adjusted "my style" a bit.  I have thinned out the line work I use to draw the characters, as well as colored the lines in a way the makes them fade and be less apparent. I really like the result. I have also bumped up the resolution by more than 50% to get better detail.  However, I haven't decided on the final resolution I will release the stOry in, having to take the file size into consideration .

Enjoy the preview!

grOw/stOry#16: past the halfway mark

This week was a pretty productive one. I finished the 8th illustration that was only half-done from last week, wrapped up illustrations 9-11 (with 11 being very detailed), and got a good start on illustration 12.  With 22 illustrations in all, I am past the halfway mark. I hope to continue this great pace next week, though some small "RL" projects may slow that a bit. Hopefully not. Enjoy the preview!

grOw/stOry#16, nearly 4 more illustrations completed!

I've been chipping away at grOw/stOry#16, "The Blooming of Bonnie" this week and completed 3 more illustrations as well as getting a good 75% done with the 4th (which is also the 8th out of 22 images in the entire stOry). A lot more detail has gone into these as I've upped the resolution of the native files. I have also been honing my line work to make it more subtle. I hope you enjoy the new preview, which, as mentioned in my last post, is now sporting a new 600 x 600 size due to the new resolution I've been working at.

grOw/stOry#16 – painting and inking progress!

In the last 2 weeks, I've been working hard on the illustrations for the next grOw/stOry, "The Blooming of Bonnie".  Finishing the last 8 pencils, I then typeset the whole stOry, so that the completed illustrations could be dropped into place as they were completed. Switching hats, I became the ink and painter, and went on to finish 4 of the 22 full-color illustrations! I even made great progress on illustration #5 before calling it quitting time. I am making great headway on this one, with only a few delays due to "real life" work. (There were a few more delays from all the freakin' snow, ice, and sloppy slush we've been getting in the last two weeks.)  Enjoy the larger color preview!

grOw/stOry#16, blazing hot pencils

So, for the past 2 weeks, I have been reworking the story for about 20% of the time, and working on the illustrations the rest of time. 

I created all of the backgrounds in Shade 3D, which took some work since there were multiple scenes that I had to build from scratch. In the last 2 days, I was on a roll and drew 14 of these 22 images. That is the most I've done in that amount of time, ever. I was cruising, and I am very please with the results. I hope to finish up the pencils early next week and begin ink and painting.

I am really excited about this one, and can't wait to complete it.

Updates on the next project

I have been seriously chipping away on working on the next release, grOw/stOry#16. This will be a complete reworking of the first EL Pub story, "The Blooming of Bonnie" and has been written by yours truly. I am about 99% done, but need to go over it with a fine tooth comb and make a few adjustments. However, for now, I am taking a break from the writing and diving into the illustrations. I will be creating 20-22 images for this release. The new stOry turned out to be longer than I had originally planned, and thus, needed more images than normal. The stOry turned out to be over 35,000 words — another huge tale following "Succubus". I think the new stOry turned out great, taking a very loose interpretation of the original and really fleshing out (so to speak) a few choice settings and concepts. Writing it was almost like a catharsis for me, delving into a deep back story for the main character that becomes a driving force for the BE in the narrative. The title remains the same, as I think it was perfect for the new concept I had in mind for this one. For purists, it is completely focused on BE, and nothing else. 

I already have the images planned out in thumbnail roughs, and starting setting up both the rendered backgrounds as well as the Poser images for reference. I can't wait to start the actual drawing of these illustrations soon.

That said, I will be away for about a little more than a week, returning home January 26th.  If you have a store issue, you can still contact me using the Contact Form on my website, but there may be a longer delay than usual. I will be checking messages on the go with my phone.

Happy New Year! What's to come?

Here we are, approaching the dawn of 2014 and entering a new year.

"Succubus" has been well received, and I thank you for your support. Longbow9 was glad to hear of the positive feedback.

So what has been happening since its release about 5 weeks ago? A lot, actually, behind the scenes.

If you've gone to my website, you may have noticed the big improvements I made there:

• Larger and more previews.
• Larger Front page images.
• Sectioning the grOw/cOmics by one series per page for clarity.
• Sectioning the grOw/stOries by one 3-stOry-collection per page.
• And recently adding a "Help Chat"! Yes, if I am online, you will see a little chat tab pop-up on the bottom of certain pages (Main store, help, faq, contact) after a few moments of visiting the page. Click to initiate a quick chat with me if you have a question on your order! Instant help!

What about the next project?  They are well underway! And by "they" I mean more than one. Longbow9 will be returning to work on a new grOw/stOry. And while we were discussing the next rewrite of an old E.L. Publication work, we came up with two or three ideas which we liked. 

I also will be writing one that I became very passionate about. I think you all will really like it. It is a complete reworking of the very first E.L. Pub story called "The Blooming of Bonnie." I will most likely be keeping the title, as it works so well with what I have been coming up with.  Currently, I am about 85-90% done with the first draft of the story. While not as large as the last release, "Succubus", it will be the second longest stOry to-date, and will probably be in the area of 30,000 words. This one will be pure breast expansion and will include both male-female as well as female-female sexual scenes. It will also have a strong storyline, with some interesting plot twists, that I hope you will enjoy.

I also have been working on the basic plot line of the next grOw/cOmic series, which will be focused on breast expansion and lactation, and will include a number of women growing. It will be a "kind" of sequel to a previous grOw/cOmic series — that is, in the same "world", and tied into the previous comic, but with new characters.

So, Happy New Year to all ! And stay tuned!
