Pinup Updates - Going forward, I've made the decision that all pinups will be full posed and outfitted.  Most of them ended up being like this already, but I've gone back and updated the armbinder post to now be a posed pinup as well.  I'll also no longer really be differentiating much between the two pinups each month, it'll just be two pieces of sexy art that show something new. The next 2 pinups to come I'm particularly proud of and can't wait to show.

After a few more episodes of Roomies I may decide to change it up and mix in some random 5 page side stories from some of my existing comics.  I'm going to open this up to suggestions to see what ideas you guys think might be fun.  I think I'll put the best ones up for a vote to see what gets made.

For clarity, the reason I originally avoided doing this was because taking fan suggestions puts things under intense time pressure for a monthly release because several weeks are taken up by voting which means making the comic would happen in the last week before release.  But I realize now that if I mix it in with the Roomies comic that relieves the time pressure because Roomies episodes can be made while suggestions and voting are happening for future months.  

There are a couple of requirements for story ideas:  

As an example, I've mentioned before that seeing what Kayla's dreams are like at the end of KSB4 is a good candidate.  Another example would be a small scene from EE between Jasmine and her sugar daddy in a non-xmas setting.  Stuff like that.

Please add any suggestions in the comments below, or if you want to keep it private you can message it to me using the contact form at artofhawke.com.  Please keep the suggestions small, a few sentences to explain the idea and I'll figure out the rest if I like it.  

Hi guys, please vote on which bonus scene you'd like to see as the June monthly comic.  These bonus scenes will be 5 page comics that will be posted on some months instead of the Roomies comic. These polls will be run somewhat frequently, so any ideas that aren't chosen will come back for the next poll.  

The poll will run until the end of the month, and the winning comic will be posted on June 1st instead of the Roomies chapter.  

Quick poll question I wanted to ask, would you guys want me to post the weekly news updates on SubscribeStar as free public posts in addition to posting them on artofhawke.com?  The main benefit/drawback would be that you would get email notifications that the weekly update has been posted so you don't have to check the website to see if it's live.  

I just don't want people to feel like it's too spammy to get 4 extra notifications a month, so let me know by voting in the poll below.  

2022 - Week 13 - News Post

This week I've been working on the SubscribeStar content, and as you can see things have escalated between Alex and Kira, including a new side character entering the story. 

Since there seemed to be strong approval for the idea, I'm going to start posting the weekly news post both on artofhawke.com as well as on SubscribeStar for free.  The content of the posts will be exactly the same, so you can read and comment in either place.  The main reason to subscribe to the free tier and read the posts on SubscribeStar would be if you want to get email notifications when a post goes live instead of needing to check the website. I'll be reading and responding to any comments in both places.  

Next I'll be switching back to the HT2 comic and working on the next section which features Chloe Mercer.   There are about 10 pages left to complete so I'll be trying to complete it as soon as I can.  
 

2022 - Week 14 - News Post

Got started late this week, but work is ongoing on the new pages featuring Chloe.

With the KSB4 dream sequence winning the poll, I'll also be putting some thought into exactly how that sequence will go, but won't be doing any work for it until next month.  I've considered a few different versions of it, but I think the idea with the most potential is one where Tyler shows off his new pet in front of his high school class, likely with a high school version of Jason sitting in the front row watching.
 

2022 - Week 15 - News Post

I ended up revising and expanding the final scene of HT2 so the comic will be around 50 pages long now.  While I had a clear idea of what the plot in the final scene was going to be, I wasn't sure what the actual environment would be, just that it would be more isolated/private than a normal office environment and needed to support rope suspension.  After I couldn't find any basement or dungeon/lab environments that felt right for the story, I had the last minute idea of making it take place on an unused floor of the Blackforce office that is under construction. That idea ended up matching the feel I was going for perfectly and the final scene has started production.  

2022 - Week 16 - News Post

Work continues on HT2 slowly but surely.  In the meantime, here's a quick pinup for the holiday weekend.  At some point next week I'll be working on the next roomies chapter as well.

Also wanted to throw up a poll question, for pinups like this, do you prefer to see the story bubbles added or would you prefer to use your imagination?

2022 - Week 17 - News Post

Not a whole lot to share this week, the next chapter of Roomies was completed this weekend, so after making the rest of the content for next month I'll switch back to finishing up HT2. 42 out of 50 pages have been completed so far, so hoping to get it finished early next month.  

Next month on SubscribeStar will be the KSB dream sequence. I haven't outlined it yet, so not sure if it will span 1 or 2 months, but it will explore the theme of Kayla dreaming about being used as a demonstration for BDSM sex education.  

2022 - Week 18 - News Post

Switched back to working on HT2 this weekend, will be trying to get the comic done as soon as possible this month.  Only about 6 pages left to go.
