Over the last couple days I thumbnailed out the entire rest of the comic and
did all the dialogue. It's a huge weight off my shoulders to actually know
where the comic is going. The dialogue is clunky and the transitions aren't
great, but at least it gives me a goal. Today I got back into drawing the actual finished pages. I got two done, each
of which took a couple hours. I won't be able to keep up with that pace, but it
gives me a bit of a buffer so that's nice. I have 20 main story pages left,
plus the cover and a one-page epilogue. I'll need to average a page a day to
get this out by Christmas. Over the past few nights I've been browing itch for NSFW physical game
rulesets. Sex rules for D&D, solo erotic journaling prompts, and so on. I
checked out a couple:
Hopelessly Devoted by
A Devil Like You and
F*ck Your God by Jack
Blair. Hopelessly Devoted is a journaling game where you answer prompts about a
squire in his last year of apprenticeship before he becomes a full knight.
Prompts include things like "what is the hierarchy of the knightly order like?"
and "where does the squire go when he needs to relieve his sexual tension?" You
roll a d4 after each prompt to see which prompt you get next, and as you do so
you pass through the weeks of the year, eventually moving through the seasons
as well. I've only done a couple prompts so far. I'm not sure if I'm going to continue;
I have a nagging worry that I'm not doing it right, and that I'm going to
discover I've missed some vital mechanic after half a dozen entries. I'm also
worried that it's going to give me a prompt I'm not very comfortable with. F*ck Your God Is more of a thought exercise. It's basically a guided
masturbation session where you visualize that you're fucking your god, whatever
god that may be. I didn't get a whole lot out of this one either to be honest. I'm an atheist
and my parents were agnostic. I've basically only ever been in a church for
weddings and funerals. I don't have a god, and the idea of having a god kinda
weirds me out. But I played along and just tried to imagine the kind of god I
might want to fuck. The whole exercise didn't actually wind up turning me on, but it was a fun read
anyway. I wound up drawing a picture of the god I imagined: The design reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what. Maybe a great fairy
from Zelda, but the similarity is not intentional. I might ditch the pointed
ears if I ever her again.
