Dragon Model and Animation
Today, we have a wonderful surprise. Model maker DarkFurnitureWizard has been hard at working creating a 3D model of a Dragon – the enigmatic leaders of the upcoming Empire faction in Pinwheel. I really appreciate how closely he stuck to the concept art provided by Oouna and how faithfully he recreated it. She is anatomically correct, fully rigged, and ready to slither into your heart and possibly annex it as an Imperial protectorate.You can find more of DarkFurnitureWizard's models here:https://www.furaffinity.net/user/darkthemechair/The...
Valbaran Concept Art
Valbmas has come to a close, and I hope that you're all filled with the Valbmas spirit! I've condensed all 12 posts down into one handy gallery where you can access all 35 variations and poses. You can check out all of the alts and reference sheets at the link below, and the relevant website gallery has also been updated.https://snekguy.com/valbaran-concept-art-gallery/A huge thanks goes out to Oouna for making this event possible and helping us start 2026 with a bang. You can find more of their content here:https://www.oouna.com/https:...
Polar Concept Art
The updated concept art for the Polars is finished! Along with the new Empire species, Oouna is doing a full suite of existing Pinwheel species so that we have a complete roster of updated, canon designs in a unified style, plus all of the reference sheets any aspiring fan artist could need.Also a bonus Kofe!Once these are all finished, I'll be using them to update the wiki, create accurate species size charts, and more.Oouna is pretty much responsible for the look of the Polars anyway, so it's no surprise that she knocked this one out ...
Happy Holidays!
Another year is coming to a close, and I wanted to take some time once again to thank everyone who makes this community what it is. Thank you each and every one of you for your support, whether you pledged to the Patreon, bought a book, or simply read a story. You allow me to do things that would have been impossible only a couple of years ago, and you keep the lights on so I can work full-time on producing content and art. It really is a dream job, and not a day goes by that I'm not grateful for the opportunity. Thank you for sharing my wo...
Jakkari Combat Armor and Weapon Concept Art
Here's the armor and weapon concept art for the upcoming Jakkari story. This is another one courtesy of our friend SickJoe, and you can find more of his work here: https://www.deviantart.com/sickjoeThe combat armor (Jakkari: Atukkar) fielded by the Jakkari military takes the form of a suit of heavy-duty plate made using a molybdenum alloy similar to that used on vehicles such as tanks and troop transports. While heavy, this alloy provides decent protection from thermal weapons and shrapnel without straining the supply of more advanced compo...
Cozat'li Tankette Fanart
Genestic12 is back again with some awesome fanart of the Cozat'li tankette from Pinwheel, which is a followup to his excellent 3D model of the Kodiak MBT. This time, he's going a little smaller and lighter with the pint-sized tank fielded by the Valbaran Consensus. While the Kodiak had official concept art to go off, the Cozat'li does not, and there's only one other piece of fanart submitted by SpookyRockfall to serve as inspiration. Based largely on descriptions from the books and input from the community, he's arrived pret...
Jakkari Dropship Concept Art
Here's the dropship design for the upcoming Jakkari story. This is another one courtesy of our friend SickJoe, and you can find more of his work here: https://www.deviantart.com/sickjoeThe Anzud-64 (Jakkari: Great Bird) is a multi-role aircraft used by the Jakkari military. While originally conceived as a heavy transport, its operators quickly realized that its lift capacity would allow it to perform more functions, and various modifications and refits have resulted in the craft we see in service today.While the Anzud appears outwardly very...
Jakkari Armored Vehicles Concept Art
Here's the roster of armored vehicles for the upcoming Jakkari story. These come courtesy of our friend SickJoe, and you can find more of his work here: https://www.deviantart.com/sickjoeThe Turgu-279 (Jakkari: Armor-clad) is the main battle tank employed by the Jakkari armed forces. Sporting thick molybdenum alloy armor and a powerful main gun, the Turgu is well-equipped for the harsh conditions of frontline combat. With a cannon designed for extreme velocity and long-range engagements, the Turgu excels in countering enemy armor and low-fl...
Men's Romance Gallery: Volume 1
Today I have something a little different for you guys. A little while ago, I was invited to participate in a collaborative project with several other prominent authors in the genre, and I was tasked with writing an original short story. The end result of that is the Men's Romance Gallery: Volume 1, a collection of stories focusing on exactly the kind of stuff I write here. You guys are always asking me to recommend authors, and I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to cross-pollinate. The collab features some very talented peopl...
Heart of the Oasis

The second option voted for in the Halloween poll, this one will feature the Egyptian Goddess Anput, female counterpart of Anubis, and her relationship with a simple temple priest named Merit.You can follow the story in progress below:https://snekguy.com/stories/fantasy/heart-of-the-oasis/The lovely artwork was provided by SickJoe:https://www.deviantart.com/sickjoe
Fanart Drop
Today, I’m rounding up another huge collection of fanart submissions from the community! I want to take a moment to thank everyone once again for your enthusiasm, I’m always humbled that so many of you are inspired to create based on my work.In order of appearance:Our first pieces come courtesy of Furlana, who was commissioned by community member Kara to draw Ambassador Holly from Firebrand wearing a lovely maid outfit. I always get a kick out of seeing Jarilans in clothes, and this is no exception. The detail on Holly’s pearlescent carap...
Kofe's Secret
Today we have some wonderful pieces of artwork courtesy of Furlana, who was commissioned by community member Kara to draw some shots of Kofe wearing some lacy lingerie. Kofe is a fan favorite and it’s been really nice to see her represented so well in this artist’s style. Borealans are not easy to draw and it’s hard to nail down this kind of body type, but I think Furlana really excelled here. The lingerie is lovely, the lighting and texture on the fur and the coffee stain spots are great, and all the little interactions with her body rea...
Fanart and Free Memberships
It has recently been brought to my attention that NSFW artwork can no longer be featured in posts at the free membership tier. Previously, Patreon allowed NSFW art to be set to Members Only, which included paid tiers, but also the free membership tier. That meant it wasn't visible to the public, but you could join as a free member and still access much of the content.A recent policy change means that I can no longer post NSFW artwork that isn't locked behind a paywall. That means that from now on, I have no choice but to make all NSFW a...

Heart of the Oasis Ebook Cover
The ebook cover for the next story in the lineup, Heart of the Oasis, is finished! This one will feature a fantasy Egyptian setting and a jackal-headed Goddess as the main love interest. This is another piece from long-time friend and collaborator SickJoe, who has once again outdone himself with all of the detail and style that's packed into this cover. I wanted something very vibrant and colorful, with very fantastical themes, and he did an absolutely stellar job. Make sure you zoom in and check out all of the little touches that are packe...
Smoking Mirrors Ebook Cover
The book cover for my ongoing story Smoking Mirrors is already complete, featuring the Jaguar Goddess herself emerging from her obsidian mirror. SickJoe cranked this one out in under a week, which is insane, meaning that the ebook will be ready to go pretty much as soon as the story is completed around Halloween.I love all the detail that was packed into this one, the fur texture and the jaguar spots are amazing, and all of the components of her headdress are there. We've got the feathers, the flowers, the crown of obsidian knives, and the ...
Smoking Mirrors
Now that Dire Contingency has been released and the Halloween poll has concluded, I’m starting the next story. This one takes place in the Goetic Justice setting, and features a museum archivist who disturbs an ancient Aztec artifact, releasing the trapped spirit of a war deity. Read at the page below:https://snekguy.com/stories/goetic-justice/smoking-mirrors/Due to both time constraints and quality concerns, I've decided to do the Jaguar and Anubis stories separately rather than combining them into one as I initially suggested. The Jagua...

Halloween Poll Results
The results for the Halloween poll are in. There was a lot of messing around in this poll, with people changing their votes at the final hour to try and edge their choice out. I think in future polls I will disallow that, as it's not really in the spirit of the vote. Jaguar and Anubis traded the lead with close to identical scores, with Jaguar winning by two points. I don't like how close that is, however. I could do a follow-up poll and let people decide between the two options, but I think that would take too much time, as I need to s...

Jakkari Fleet Carrier Concept Art
Get ready for a lot of concept art for the Jakkari preceding their upcoming story!This very detailed artwork for the main Jakkari fleet carrier comes courtesy of our friend SickJoe. I took the liberty of adding a version with text detailing many of the features and weaponry of the ship, as well as an accurate size comparison to a UNN jump carrier.Fleet carriers are the largest vessel in the Jakkari arsenal, and as the name suggests, their primary role is as motherships for fighter squadrons and as troop carriers. Fighters are launched via the c...
Rule of Three Cover
The book cover for Rule of Three is ready! Courtesy of returning artist and Bug expert Malvear, this lovely digital painting features the three titular characters. We have Poppy the fiery little Jarilan Worker carrying her pack and admiring a stray flitterfly on the left, Cal toting his favorite rifle in the middle, and Murzka the mysterious Araxie huntress lurking on the right. We also have Kevin! One like = one treat!I really like how this piece came out. I asked for a detailed jungle background and Malvear delivered in spades, and he excelle...
Kee Armor Concept Art
In tandem with Oouna's concept for the Kee, SickJoe has been working on designing their armor.The Kee have a long martial tradition that goes back thousands of years, and while Imperial technology has stagnated over the centuries, it remains no less effective today. Kee armor is made up of heavy plating that bears an outward resemblance to stone or concrete, but is actually formed from a lightweight carbcrete blend, reducing its mass while preserving much of its mechanical strength. Carbcrete is a material more commonly used in construction...
Kee Concept Art (NSFW)
Here's the second part of the Kee concept art, featuring anatomical nudity. As you can see on the cow especially, a great deal of care went into the shape and placement of the skin flaps. This is not artificial armor, but rather thick, collagen-infused skin. On the bull, protection was emphasized, as they engage in very physically demanding wrestling matches using their horns and brute strength. On the cow, we used the placement to give the impression of lingerie, with baked-in thigh highs and a kind of swimsuit look from the rear, exposing...
Kee Concept Art
The third Imperial species is here! Joining the Sastrugi pirates and the enigmatic Dragons, the Kee make up the military wing of the Empire, fighting its wars, managing its supply lines, and enforcing the will of the Dragons throughout their domain.This artwork comes courtesy of Oouna once again, and I feel like each one is more impressive than the last. There's some lovely detail here, so make sure you zoom in to check out the patterning on the cow's dress and the adornments on the bull's horn. I particularly like the color schemes...
Fanart Drop (NSFW)
The second half of today's fanart drop features all of the racy art that was submitted, which I've given its own post, as Patreon's policy requires me to make nudity followers-only.In order of appearance:Dagotto: dagotto.bsky.socialThe first pieces come from Dagotto, who surprised me with some really high quality stuff. We have a Valbaran lady laying claim to her Earth'nay, with and without text. I really love the perspective here, and the subject matter obviously appeals. I think he did a great job on the anatomy, and the artwo...
