I’m Back — And So Is a New Era
Hey everyone—
It’s time to dive into something new, something ancient... something powerful.
Starting Tuesday, I’m launching a brand-new story: IMPERIUM: A Forbidden Triumvirate.
Set in the heart of the Roman Empire, IMPERIUM is a tale of ambition, betrayal, secret heirs, and political games played in shadowed marble halls. It’s dark, sensual, and full of slow-burning tension—the kind you know I love.
This time, I’m giving you two visual variants to follow:
-
Sepia-Aged Version – My intended aesthetic, with antique filters, muted tones, and a faded parchment feel—like a lost tale rediscovered from history.
-
Clean Version – The same story, same characters, just without the filters—bright, clear, and direct for those who prefer a modern look.
Note: The clean version will be available on a separate tier. If there’s not enough demand during release, I’ll instead make a one-time full post with the clean version after Act I concludes.
Both styles will be created—so you can choose the one that suits your taste.
IMPERIUM: A Forbidden Triumvirate draws heavily from Roman names, customs, and culture. I’ve done my best to reflect the era—its architecture, values, power struggles, and daily life.
But let’s be clear: this is a work of fiction, not a history textbook.
That means I’ll bend reality now and then for storytelling’s sake. Expect some creative liberties, especially when it comes to personal drama and underground desires.
And yes—given the openness of sexuality in Roman times, there may be brief occasional same-gender moments. But they’ll emerge naturally, not as a focus. This story is about power, not labels.
To keep things clean and consistent, here’s how I’ll be posting from now on:
-
Monday — Velvet Bloodline
-
Tuesday — IMPERIUM
-
Wednesday — Random stories or Remakes of earlier scenes (depending on the time I have available)
-
Thursday — Velvet Bloodline
-
Friday — IMPERIUM
-
Saturday & Sunday — Creative pause / prep days
If everything stays on track, I’ll be launching a third project soon.
The story structure is already outlined, and I’m really excited about the tone and concept.
You already know Velvet Bloodline.
Now there’s Imperium.
So... it’s not hard to guess which time period might come next, right? 😉
It feels great to return with full creative force. Thank you for sticking with me—and welcome if you’re new.
Let’s bring these worlds to life, one render at a time.
