I start with a general concept, then build up an outline with a few scene ideas, then move on to a specific page breakdown. The page breakdown will have dialog and actions written out, sometimes it's just [they argue] or [they fuck] and I fill in the details later.
I usually have the entire page breakdown written before starting a comic. For this comic I would sketch a few pages, do the dialog to make sure the page breaks lined up, then color that batch, then post and start on the next batch. If you're asking if I made this up as I went along, no - the loop was the concept from the beginning. When I got the the overlapping parts I massaged the dialog and action a bit to make sure things mostly fit with what I had already written.
For the next comic, Crossworld VR, I rough sketched the entire comic with complete dialog before coloring anything. Partially for efficiency but also since it was a commission I wanted the customer to approve the plot before I commit to a huge amount of work.
I put it to a vote and the Patrons overwhelmingly voted the images to go public. So I have scheduled the images/sketches/animations to be released on thursdays.
Of course, Alison has ended up where she is because she is relatively well behaved and suited to this role. There is always the hypothetical "heavy chains" scenario for those who would be less cooperative. Should a well connected noble want you for a trophy, or a summoned pure-blood desire your soul for breeding, there are ways to convince you.
Props to the guy who made this ad, it is now the highest click-through thumbnail on the site by a good margin. Perhaps I should expand on this concept.
Iskath is a city to the north. Further away from the epicenter of the plane crossover anomaly that allows demons to appear but still effected by it. Occasionally a demon will materialize on their own, not bound by any ritual or contract, and cause trouble. Mistress has a knack for resolving these situations, taming the offending parties and occasionally leveraging her natural talents to smooth over political hurdles.
Melody has recently reasserted that she's supposed to be Mistress's apprentice, not just her hand maiden ( see outfit https://satinminions.com/bonus.php?sha=b6b7c2e419 ) and she has talked her way into coming along. Mistress will be on the lookout for any new projects that Melody can take on by herself.
Alison is staying behind because in any kind of intense scenario she'd just be a useless horny liability. Sure, she could be used as a payoff or distraction but that seems a bit cruel after she's softened so much. Plus there's the real danger that if she doesn't get on Torrin's dick soon she might actually explode.
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.

There are probably better ways to do this using the patreon API but this was the easiest to implement.
