In retrospect, I wish I'd started out in a more "modest" form and wound up in the form I began with here.But I didn't, so, like, whatevs.
Milestone - Supersized Elliot
Poll Description - Female Elliot made a comment on Ellen working out less, and now it’s easier to tell the two apartEllen, on edge due to needing a snack before bed, did NOT need to hear Elliot point out that she was working out significantly less than him these days, and zapped him with a weight gain beam!Ellen immediately felt bad about it, though this lessened as it became apparent that Elliot was much more interested in the results than the circumstances of how it happened.----I consider the second one more the "true" version, but...

Just FYI, I'm going to make one of the "Dan's Choice" images involve Spider Grace wearing something revealing.I bring this up because I was very seriously considering doing that with a variant of this comic, but the additional context of Rich both being there AND being her boss made me "NOPE" out of that idea.EDIT - Couple of minor fixes.

Look, we all lose things, SARAH.EDIT: Accidentally had a non-HD version! Sorry about that.
Cliché Outfit Poll
The end of month single poll is going to have one option with a cliché skimpy post transformation outfit. It will only be for one of the options, so it might not even win, but what the heck. Let's have a vote (can vote for more than one).(I consider this extra appropriate given that any one of these could be one of those halloween costumes people complain about / love / are indifferent to)
Assorted 2018 - 07 - Casual Alternatives
EDIT - Fixed a typo >_<EDIT 2 - Adjusted how Grace looks in the second variant. The original is still attached, and the fixed version is the last attachment with "fix" at the end of the name.Of the three scenarios below, and taking into account that Sarah is presumably just arriving...1 - This could be easily be canon so long as Mr. Verres was away on business, but someone presumably let Sarah in? If that someone was Tedd, this could make sense.2 - This is MUCH less likely, as it still implies Tedd let her in, and she took off more than...

I am so good at writing drama you guys.EDIT - Adjusted the inking on Grace, which is the "fix" version in the attachments. The original is still there if you want it for whatever reason.
Milestone Plottery Continues
I'm going to consider this milestone option I mentioned for the future. I love the idea, but as some have pointed out, it could potentially be more of a burden on my schedule than less of one. It's an idea I'll hang on to for later.What I'm thinking I want to do now is this:Three Dan's Choices, at least two of which have polls for $5+ Patrons. At a minimum, these must be color images of at least one character (so no still lifes, darn it!).The idea is this: What I have time for each month is often variable, especially with th...
Milestone Idea
After the next set of polls, I want to significantly reduce my workload while still giving all y'all cool stuff and rewards for the, well, reward Tiers. I'm thinking of replacing current options with others for at least until I'm caught up on things.An idea I have (which I'm fully admitting is inspired by other clever people), is to have the $5+ tiers vote on a sequence as it progresses throughout the month, having some say at each stage of it.It would basically be like voting on what happens in the next panel of a comic as it&#...

I strongly suspect that making a bunch of posts Patrons Only made a difference in the second assessment of my page, but I don't think it was SPECIFICALLY because they were "Patrons Only".I think it was the fact that certain things were no longer immediately visible in public posts. I was told my definition of "suggestive" was fine, and I'm not trying to hide anything, but I think that's what they want, and what could prevent anyone else taking a look at the page from jumping to conclusions.As such, my plan going forw...
Patreon No Longer Marked as 18+
My Patreon has been unflagged and it's a bit perplexing.I found a followup e-mail I somehow missed entirely, in spite of watching for any sort of followup like a hawk, saying it would be unmarked. I have ZERO idea how I could have missed it.The only reason I knew to look for it was I went on Patreon to post something and noticed that the posting option defaulted to "Public" instead of "Patrons Only".This change was supposedly made a couple hours before I posted my last post about changes to the Patreon, but hadn't taken ...
Changes, Schemes, Schedule
The next EGS:NP will be Monday. It took me forever to come up with a story comic script I was happy with, and I'm prioritizing still having a Friday story comic as early Friday as possible.That, and I have this I want to address.Patrons OnlyIn light of the vagueness of Patreon's "mature themes" meaning, I'm planning to pretty much make anything with an image "Patrons only", including EGS:NP HD.I don't like that, as I'm pretty sure that means a $1 paywall to view posts, but I like the idea of picking and choos...

Grace-A-Monster Trainer Ellen
Poll Description - Grace-A-Monster trainer Ellen dramatic poseSO DRAMATIC!It's entirely coincidence that Ellen wound up with the plant starter Grace-A-Monster, but given the whole green hair thing, it was obviously meant to be!Granted, Nanase has red hair and she wound up with the water starter Grace-A-Monster, so maybe hair color has literally nothing to do with it. On the OTHER hand, Justin has ORANGE hair, so it's fitting he got the fire starter, so... Hm.Nanase, change your hair color.EDIT - Minor color fixEDIT 2 - Couple fixes to t...

You know, the good old days! When every comic probably had a social message the readers were too young to notice and/or object too, and when there was less diversity in general!Granted, I can understand not liking things feeling preachy. Lightening the mood to not feel too preachy was the main reason why Tedd and Susan were dressed / transformed as they were in the previous EGS:NP.There's being tired of preachiness, however, and then there's crying out against political correctness at the slightest hint of representation....Carp, this g...

In case you missed an earlier text post of mine, Patreon apparently decided my Patreon needed an "adults only" warning. I can't recall posting anything that wasn't PG-13-esque at the worst, but they (or some algorithm) disagree for the moment, so you may be asked to confirm your age before viewing this.I mean, there is a bikini in this one, but don't get too excited by that warning.
Content Vaguely Flagged! (Gasp)
Patreon has assigned my Patreon as “adult content”. I’ve had suggestive content, certainly, but no real nudity or characters doing particularly explicit things.The suggestiveness might genuinely be enough by their standards, but they haven’t specifically flagged anything.I've sent in a help request about it, and asked for clarification. If something I’m doing actually DOES cross some line, then those posts can’t be public. They can be free to view, but need to be “Patron only”.Ideally, however, I’d prefer no “adults only...

Dan's Choice - Wrong Remote
...I cannot be trusted to comment on this in an appropriate manner.Choosery!I chose a "Dan's choice" for today because I had an idea in mind that would require minimal planning and preparation.And THEN I had something of an epiphany regarding how I was approaching my line work, and how I was holding myself back by trying to make my style look like something else entirely while also making everything take longer to do.Which actually made this take less time! It still got done later than I expected, however, because I 100% forgot I pl...

Ellen and Nanase aren't indulging my bold and handsome declaration with those outfits. That's just what they happened to be wearing for reasons they refuse to tell me.

Comic August Poll
Can vote for more than one option!It’s indulgent, slightly out of character time! Elliot wants to show something to Tedd, and that “something” is transforming before smooching!And yes, I stand by this only being "slightly" out of character, BUT!What form does Elliot choose?

Characters for Poll Survey
I already know what I'm doing for the Two Character poll, but I need to decide on Single and the Comic. What characters are you interested in seeing, and/or what manner of forms / transformations?Please keep suggestions to characters and forms, not exact scenarios and such.

Grace-A-Monsters! - 30 - HD
She'll be fine.No, seriously, this is Grace-A-Monsters. At worst, she'll be a bit out of it until they get to a Grace-A-Center. I just don't want anyone to worry unnecessarily."Who would worry," you might ask. Well, it sounds like something I would do, for one, so I'm going ahead and being clear on that.
"Dan's Choice" Specifics Updated
I don't think anyone will object to the "Dan's Choice" images having a variety of options, but I still want to be clear on what the options are, and what they will be at a minimum.What I've added is Before / After image options. If at least two characters, that's basically all there has to be to it, but if only one character, there'll be at least 3 variants of the "After" image.Here are the options in easier to read bullet points: A comic page Before / After images with at least 2 characters Before / After im...
NP Character Survey / Poll
There's a lot more I can do with Grace-A-Monsters, and I want to do it, but I don't want it to be 60+ comics in a row, and we're already at the 30th as of tomorrow.As such, I'm plotting to go the "to be continued" route with it, and have one or more EGS:NP stories between it and doing more with it.I want to stick to non-canon "characters we know in another context" sort of thing, and I'm NOT looking for story ideas. What I AM interested in is which characters people are interested in being featured.I can'...
