I plan to post the next page on Friday. How would you like to get updates? There is an rss feed, would you prefer an email list? Twitter bot? Something else?
The 404s shouldn't effect anything, the solution on my end is just to have blank placeholder images or just not attempt to preload those images since they aren't used. The animation changes speed and pattern randomly so will sometimes do things that look laggy - it's a tossup between variety and weirdness. I'm only getting ~1% cpu usage from this tab, and it runs fine on my phone.
There is also a rare bug where the primary animation frame will become transparent, but I haven't figured that one out yet.
If you can see anybody's cochlea, you must have *very* good eyesight. If you mean cornea, by which you mean sclera, Alison has very pale skin and the contrast tends to be overwhelmed by dramatic lighting. I suppose I could compensate for this but then you can get a glow-in-the-dark effect. Drawing is hard.
It's a fine line between fostering a healthy sex drive and general obedience. Mistress's goal here is Alison's complete submission, and she's chosen her words to get that.
Sex is a constant - it's happening no matter what Alison does. The punishment is the lack of intimacy.
>show any other aspects of the Demons' society I feel like most people are probably here for sexy time rather than politics, and things are slow enough as it is. It's the sort of thing I'd like to hint at rather than dive into.
In the first chapter Mistress talked about turning people into monsters for use as weapons - arguably evil activity - but she justifies it as simply unleashing the beast that was already inside them.
Mistress is a provacateur for sure. She has that temptation and manipulation style. She likes to see her victims stumble down the mental steps to submission and she has no qualms about pushing them if necessary because she thinks they'll be happier once they learn to serve properly. She smiles with the satisfaction of being right, not the thrill of conquest.
Conceptually, I have two different ideas of what a demon is. First is the lord of a particular domain - a manifestation of a particular aspect of nature or human behavior. Any "evil" qualities they exhibit would be the result of valuing this one aspect at the expense of others. The second concept is more of a general provacateur - a mischief maker or facilitator of human temptation and folly. These two concepts tend to overlap and blur together.
The traditional "satan" character has two aspects - tempting people to sin and remorseless judgement when they give in to temptation. Externally the combination might seem evil but it is easily justified by the person doing it, much like a con-man who will blame his marks for being gullible.
>They don't seem all that demonic Demons get a bit of a bad rap. Tales of their monstrous appearance have been greatly exaggerated - in fact our hero/ine commented on this in the first few pages. Although... Mistress is a half breed (like most in their society), and we haven't met any full demons.
>purely, completely evil People who set out to be evil for evil's sake are rare - most people have some motivation and don't think of themselves as evil.
We'll have to wait and see! Keeping up a purely dominant facade is hard work.
>So was the mercenary a virgin before he was transformed into a woman?
She's not exactly overflowing with confidence, is she? Any experience he might have had before doesn't really apply here.
