Hey peeps! Not sure how many people still read this blog, but I hope I can revamp the interest with the release of part 3 of the Disco Dragon series this weekend (perhaps?). In any case I really need to finally set up my own website with a nice dedicated gallery and stuff.
So kept to my original plans for FOUR PARTS of the Disco Dragon as you can see in the schematic released with part 1 (below). The reason for all the changes in plans from just part 3 to back to part 3 and 4 is because of me being stupid and desperate during the development of PE. I wanted to wrap up the DD asap but it would have messed up the story. So when I was busy with the DD3 I was reminded of the reason why I had planned a part 4. In fact, part 2 was supposed to contain much of part 3 but because I was so busy with other things, the DD2 became more of a regular porn comic than anything else. The DD3 also has copious amounts of naughty, but it also has way more story than part 2.
As I might have alluded to before, the Disco Dragon is my first attempt at a classic 3 act story structure but then with erotica/porno elements. I might have overestimated my abilities to also include an orgy involving something like 15 people so that didn't help! lol. None-the-less, I'm happy with my progress despite the fact that it took me 2 years to get here. What actually took 2 years was me committing myself to this comic (due to other activities), but the actual comic took a collective three months.
Regarding the making and release of Part 4, what I can say is that I have learned my lesson in that I have learned to ignore the temptations of this massive world of CGI, especially those with no future. Making comics is not the most lucrative business, but it is the most fun, persistent and emotionally rewarding business. Before I committed myself to the Disco Dragon 3 (and the Shagging before Xmas) I also cleared the table and geared my work environment for comic production from simple stuff like a massive table to plan stories out with, to buying Scrivener to organize ideas with, to python scripts that solve all my issues with Poser. But I think at the end of the day, I will have to prove this to you by just cranking on with the DD4 and showing you I am back in business!!
I have yet to send off the DD3 to my proofreaders but hopefully they can be fast enough for me to crank this out this Friday or Saturday (April 5 or 6, 2019)! I will keep you posted here, on Renderotica and on Deviant Art.
I will spend more time promoting both the DD3 and DD4 once part 4 comes out, because then I can sell it as a completed product!! If I do sell it as a bundle, I will most likely sort DD2 and 3 customers out with a discount that gives the same benefit as the bundle!
A word of warning though: Xtina fans need to be a little more patient, but I will do my absolute best to get the DD4 out asap.
Other stuff (like PE and TaB)
I won't lie. The temptations of the Poser/DAZ content world got the better of me and I really put my foot in it. I am too optimistic and always go overboard. As many of you have seen, my products are a little bit of a special case, with lots of options and extreme detail. This is because I am a comic artist. I thought combining the two was easy since I made my own stuff anyway... but being a vendor is entirely different to what I expected. I'm just not good at it. (What also doesn't help is that Poser and its owners don't seem to live on the same plane as reality). But with all these temptations, I needed to make a choice, it was very hard, and I'm sorry but its comics.
But like I said before, I am still trying to hand over PE and TaB to people that are more suited for the role, but I just haven't had the time yet. TaB however does have a contender, but also he has his own commitments that take priority. I will still try and release some updates for PE (since they're pretty much done) and PE Futagirl will one day become a reality. But comics come first.
