So, what's next?

I know it's been a while since my last post — longer than usual after a release. A combination of "RL" events, work, and other "stuff" just kept me away. Plus, I was not sure on what to write!  :) 

However, that is not to say that the grOw series has not been worked on. In fact, I have been working hard on the next stOry — reworking the plot, rewriting the text (which in most scenes, is a complete overhaul), and doing "research" into reference materials for the characters.

The next release will be a reworking of the former-E.L.Publication's story "Sorority Boobfest." This stOry needed major reworking, including the title. While the writing was pretty good, the story, itself, was a combination of cartoony characters, over-the-top "Victoria Secret" descriptions, 80's montage-like scenes, and a full disregard for physics.  Now, a dash or seasoning of any of the afore-mentioned elements is fine — it gives a story spice. However, when even "suspending belief" becomes difficult, a story can truly fall apart. Too much sugar or chocolate can actually ruin a great dessert. There are also times, of course, when some of these elements work — they can be, of course, the main reason we indulge in stories such as these. You just need to give it a good basis first, to get the best quality from your tale.

On a side note about the grOw/stOry series, based on the last release, it seems the grOw/cOmics are much more popular — by a huge margin. Interesting.

grOw/stOry#13, "New mOOns Rising", Released!


grOw/stOry#13: New mOOns Rising

Kirk wanted to make his honeymoon special for his wife, Jane. Bypassing the "usual" honeymoon spots, he set his sights on the spectacular "Royal Rings Resort" orbiting Saturn. Not only that, he also want to give Jane a wedding gift -- that boob job she always wanted.

However, the future's great technology and medical advances have not ruled out all errors. Only able to afford the low-level breast enhancement procedure, Kirk and Jane soon discover that what they ordered is not what they received as Jane's breasts soon start growing well passed the DD-cup size they requested. Luckily for them, the zero gravity of space travel has its benefits for the huge-breasted, the enormous-breasted, and the WOW!-breasted woman as well as for her enamored man.

This rewritten version of the original E.L. Publication's "Bust in Space" re-imagines the original story. Set in the zero-g environment of our Solar System like the original, this revised version adds much more depth to the characters, locations, and scenes of the story. In fact, it more than doubles the original story's word count, going from 8,433 words to over 17,750 !

This stOry features:
> the longest grOw/stOry released! - more than twice as long as the average stOry!
> the original story and artwork are included in the index, you will be getting TWO FULL STORIES in one book!
> 16 newly created BustArtist illustrations which are the best quality to date - which is 3 more than average, and includes 3 full-page spreads!

NEW BONUS FEATURES:
> comes in EPUB (ebook reader such as iPhone and iPad) and MOBI (Kindle) formats as well as high-res PDF.

Category: Breast Expansion (big/huge/Wow!! - science); buttons popping; tight spaces; zero-g boobs

154-page PDF ebook, with 16 NEW color illustrations by BustArtist, which are the highest quality to-date! Also contains both the original story by T.T.L. Fandango as well as the original 6 black-and-white line drawings by LoSarro from the former E.L. Publications print version. You get 2 stories in 1 book!

GS#13, 15 of 16 illustrations completed!

I know it's been a longer while since the last post than my usual once-per-week schedule that I've been more or less keeping for the current upcoming release. "RL" work came back with a quick flurry — it's amazing how often it goes from quiet to suddenly every client coming out of the woodwork all at once. However, I've still been working on the latest grOw/stOry through it all.  I have completed 15 of the 16 illustrations so far, and made decent progress on the 16th today as well.  I still need to do some rewriting and proofreading of the stOry, so this release won't be ready immediately after the last illustration is done. However, we are getting very close indeed to the release of the first grOw/stOry since December 2009. (Wow!  Has it been that long?  I guess the last 6-issue grOw/cOmic series took a while!)

GS#13 — 11 of 16 illustrations completed!

Last week was a slow week, in terms of production on grOw/stOry#13, "New mOOns Rising", which was due to a number of factors. After a long quiet time, "RL" work reared its head, with lots of technical issues that I needed to resolve. In addition, I spent some time in my continuing search for a new host for my store — something more stable, modern, and easy to use.

But on the grOw/stOry side, it was "slow" due to the incredible detail that was needed in the backgrounds of the last few illustrations. Unlike the cOmics, it didn't make sense to take the time to build these backgrounds in some 3D program, as they would not be used more than a few times, and I actually needed many more than just 1 or 2 backgrounds. For example, the last illustration I just completed is a 2-page spread, and the background of a "upper-class" hotel room (albeit, in outer space) was needed. Details in the fabric walls, wood grain, and lighting needed to reflect this ambience. On that note, this illustration is just one of three 2-page spread illustrations that appear in this stOry!

Enjoy the preview!

grOw/stOry#13: 9 of 16 illustrations complete!

A week has passed since my last update, and I am now over half done with the 16 illustrations for the new grOw/stOry #13, "New mOOns Rising"Nine of the full-page images are now complete in their full-color splendor. I am making quite good progress on the art. However, I still need to rework the story a bit, so I may not be ready for release immediately after completing the illustrations. If this does turn out to be the case, it should not be long after.  In the meanwhile, enjoy the new preview!

GS#13, 5 of 16 illustrations completed!

After a slight "weather delay", I was able to continue working on grOw/stOry#13, "New mOOns Rising", and made great progress.  Right now, I have just completed 5 of the 16 illustrations in the book — nearly 1/3 of them. As mentioned earlier, I will only be showing a few previews of the illustrations, since there are so many fewer images than a cOmic (16 compared to about 90) — show a preview for each would give too much away.  :)   Enjoy!
