I had a bit of a problem where my copy of 3D studio suicided leaving me unable to do my usual reference methods. I am getting back up to speed on blender.
The purpose is to breed demons with compatible mortals. The resulting half breeds often retain some super natural powers while being more suited to living on this plane permanently.
The purpose of this series is to address some questions and hypothetical scenarios posed by the readers. They take place at various times through out the series, as indicated by Alison's appearance - although they break the 4th wall so it's more of a non-continuity bonus feature.
I think Alison would be a bit too embarrassed to update Mistress on her activities, but I have some other ideas for entries in this series.
Yes, this would be the day after. Some time passes between volumes 4 and 5 (shown by hair growth). In Vol.4 after Alison reaches the requisite level of training, Mistress begins to take her out as her "personal assistant". It's fun to show her off but she is also kind of annoying and needy (Vol.4, Page 25), so Alison is assigned various odd jobs to keep her busy. She's not particularly skilled or reliable but she can handle putting books away in the library (Vol.5, Page 11-12) or these maid duties.
This is just the sketch / lineart version of the previous pages. I'll probably just leave it as a bonus for patrons, like the behind the scenes pages a the end of Lighter Chains Vol.6
Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I don't have much control over how patreon works and I wish it was more flexible. If you message me on patreon I can refund you.
You have to click the new bonus link every month to set the cookie for that month. February's silver link is posted here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/silver-bonus-33653816
There are probably better ways to do this using the patreon API but this was the easiest to implement.
There are bonus pages at the bottom of the images gallery and at the end of Entry Level, New Fit and Lighter Chains 6. Additionally there are unfinished bonus comics "Life by the Horns" and "The Summoner's Sex".
If it's a sex-reversing pentagram, then a cotton shirt would disappear because cotton is an appendage of the female cottonwood tree used to disperse seeds.
There are actually only 2 pages left. The extra 12 pages are bonus pages for patrons - just some behind the scenes sketches and thoughts, plus two alternate covers.
I scheduled this to be posted at 12:00 noon eastern time on this site and 12:01 eastern on patreon. I've moved recently so there may be some time zone shenanigans going on, but I've tested it on the this site and it seems to be working correctly.
The transformation changes body, hair, currently worn clothing, personal effects, and sex drive. She changes back when her lanyard is removed (most of the time?), that way he can investigate what various parts of his wardrobe turn into.
The comic has become more about the slow-build conversion than a fast break-in. Each encounter takes her another step along the path. She's not quite ready to fully live out her fantasies.
I had several sketches to that effect but as I wrote the full story, a more gradual psychological conversion emerged. At this point I don't think Alison would need any magical or physical convincing to end up on her knees.
>what's the light level on the bands indicate?
As established in the full Dark Altar comic https://satinminions.com/img/Dark-Altar-00.html the enchantment on the bands makes her submissive/lustful for her assigned demon partner. It may also have something to do with summoning him.
The first image was just a random sketch, but then I decided to make a little sequence out of it. I redrew the first image with her hair down later, it'll be posted next monday.
I definitely change to color of the scene intentionally to convey the mood, and I've tried to make different magical effects look different and stick out more than the mood lighting. The girl in Dark Altar is being directly influenced by magic, so her eyes glow. Mistress's eyes glow occasionally due to her innate magical nature.
I don't have an exact system worked out, I just try to make it look right.
I made this in my own animation program that I'm developing. It's very smooth because it's vector based with automatic interpolation. It's a bit tricky to animate lines that aren't visible in every frame with that system though, and I didn't really have the tools to fix things coded at the time, so I just sort of stopped.
I think a good way to do it might be to make everything see-through like you'll see in the next animation. I'll work on layering strategies once I get coloring added in.
I see her as a warrior or some kind of tough-girl who finds herself conscripted into a demon breeding program. Maybe she's tested and is found to be very compatible or maybe she is chosen by a specific spirit.
An idea I had was that Melody ( https://satinminions.com/search.php?tags=Character-Melody ) should be more of an apprentice than a servant, and these two would be her next project - and prove to be a bit of a handful.
Her form was pulled from his subconscious, primed by the "choose the ideal form of servitude" command. Mistress knew she was getting a new girl, but the specifics were a surprise.
The next page contains 2 animations that take a lot longer to make than a static page. They're scheduled to be released in parts, first the line art versions, then color versions, then the scripted page. The first line art animation is up here:
You need a special link that I send out to active patrons on the 5th of each month. There's no way to tell if a new patron is legit or not before they have been charged and there are tons of bots and deadbeat accounts.
The prev/next buttons are messed up on the misc comics section. It's confusing because I want the newest page to show up first in the gallery so people can see what's new, sort of the opposite of the other comics. The index page (https://satinminions.com/Misc-Comic-Pages.html) seems to be in the correct order though.
