I've been plugging away on grOw/stOry#15, "Succubus", diligently for the past few weeks. So much so, I forgot to give my minimal once-a-week update that I try to do when working hard on a project. I just finished illustration #18 (a 2-page spread!)and I am in the middle of #19. In total, I have bumped the number of illustrations up to 22, 4 of which are 2-page illustrations. This is the most for any grOw/stOry, and a stOry of this size needs this. I would have had more colored by this point since my last update, but when I hit #16, I realized that I hadn't pencil-drawing #17-22 yet (mostly as we were still finalizing the stOry at that time). So, I took a full day or so and made great progress creating those final 6 drawings. The author (Tristan Langley / "Longbow9") has seen the progress on the color images, and needless to say, he's ecstatic.
Getting closer! The artwork is the best to-date, and the Cintiq is seriously helping me achieve that goal without the same strain as before. Plus, I recently upgraded from Poser 6 to Poser 10. This enormous jump in program power — with enhance figures, lighting, previews, and pose-ability — has seriously sped up the posing and camera angle planning I do for each image.
Hang in there! This newest release is already at my website, albiet with a "Coming Soon" moniker and no buy button. But you can read a synopsis and get some info. (The cool thing also is that the store set-up is already done, something I usually hold off doing until the stOry is complete.)
Enjoy the preview!

Can't wait to buy - sounds like a nice long read with great art. Hope RL work cooperates, and thanks to JulieKat for proofreading as always.
Can't wait! Any idea on an ETA? I would totally buy it now with the pics you have and would be fine with the full copy later. lol.
...just checking! Can't wait to buy the new issue....
other290: heh heh... thanks. The writer and I may be doing the proofreading, but if JK gets a chance (work schedule has been reeeeeeally busy), she will too.
Striker I am reeallly hoping to release it by end of next week. Hopefully midweek, but no later than the weekend. (knock on wood).
I just finished image #20 today, and began #21 (both 2-page spreads).
