Welcome back friends!

I’m very happy to (finally) be posting the second part of our current Jette Jones story. It’s been up on The Archive for several weeks but my time has been so taxed recently that I’m only now finishing up a cover to post with it here.

This issue’s cover (and probably the next couple as well) has benefited tremendously from an amazing art exhibit that translated the gynoids of famed illustrator Hajime Sorayama into flawless chrome statues. I had no idea such a thing had occurred when we began writing this story and I hadn’t really thought of a strategy for how the robot women would be rendered. So, we were extremely lucky that the source material existed to describe the character’s we’d already written about.

At one point, I had considered using one of the more popular AI text-to-image generators to create our robot women. But most of the high quality engines forbid the use of words like “sexy” and “erotic” so I knew that might make the process difficult. On the other hand, creating a woman wearing a set of work coveralls is no issue at all. So, when it came time to create Riffa, I used an AI generated image as the base photo and then did a head replacement and applied some of my usual tweaks.

So this cover also marks my first foray into using AI generated art in my manip work. It’s a field I’m following very closely and I think it will only grow in value as a tool for visual storytelling. We’ll see what other goodies it will help me create in the future.

That’s it for now, thank you for reading and, as always, connie and I welcome your questions, comments and suggestions!

Welcome back dear reader!

It’s been quite a busy year but that hasn’t stopped me from being entirely unproductive. A while back, I decided that I wanted to put together an update like the old days. Back when I’d post a handful of manips at a time. That was quite fun and I’ve gotten out of that habit over the years as I became focused on creating more complex one-off projects.

Most of these images have been sitting in my Source Material folder for years so I’m especially happy to finally be putting them into use. I hope you enjoy them!

In other project news, I’m hard at work on the next Lily and Samantha story, Working Holiday, and I’m hoping to start releasing chapters from that soon. I’m also still banging away on the Decisive Results sequel and making good progress. It will be 2023, at the earliest, before that one is complete but it is firmly on the horizon.

Thank you all and, as always, your comments, questions and suggestions are welcome!

 

 

 

 

Welcome back friends!

We’re so happy to be back with a new issue of Jette! Part of the fun of this issue is a chance to focus a bit more on Epsilon. She’s wonderfully fun to write and connie and I have wanted to explore her backstory a bit more. So, it’s terrific to have a story that affords that opportunity.

Also, it’s terrific to finally see Epsilon on a cover! She’s the only member of the crew that hasn’t been depicted prior so it was a wonderful challenge to bring her to life. I’ve been working on the body for quite a while, bringing her matrix to life as I’d always imagined it. Connie’s excellent suggestion was to cast adult performer Stoya as the face of our beloved living computer.

We hope you enjoyed and we’ll see you next issue!

Welcome back friends!
We’re a few days late (again) but the final installment of The Draining Terror is live! In this issue, Jette and Riesga are pushed to their limit as they fight to rescue their crew mates and defeat the immortal vampire that has enthralled them. Our brave Star Rangers have never been put to the test like this!

Captain Jette Jones, Star Ranger #10 is live now!

We had such a fun time developing this story and we’re so thrilled to finally have all three parts released! Thank you to everyone who’s been reading and taking the time to share your thoughts with us!

Just a quick reminder that this is the last of our monthly Jette Jones issues. Connie and I have decided to change up our release cycle in the coming year and I think we’ve settled on writing a story to completion and then releasing week by week. In any case, more Jette Jones is coming and we’ll let you know when to look out for it!

Until next time, your questions, comments and suggestion are welcome!

Welcome back all!

Well here we are at the end of 2021… and how the hell did that happen so quickly?! I’ve got a few updates I wanted to drop before we ring in the new year so let’s get started!

Jette Jones #10

So, it’s December 31 and Jette is not quite ready to launch. As with last month, I’ve been extremely busy with work stuff in addition to the holidays and all that entails. I just wasn’t able to get my work completed and handed off to connie soon enough to make our deadline.

So, the bad news is issue #10 of Jette Jones will be arriving early next week. The good news, connie and I are super excited about what we’ve put together! We’re really eager to share this installment with all of you!

In light of this being the second consecutive delay to our monthly series, this might be a good place to go ahead and talk about some changes connie and I will be making next year. The main thing that we’re going to be moving away from is the monthly release cycle.

It was a fun idea and the pace kept us energized through the course of our first three stories but starting in 2022 we’re going to releasing the Jette stories in a more casual fashion.

I’m not sure yet if that means we’ll do something every other month or if we’ll just write a story and then, once it’s done, release a chapter a week. Connie and I are still batting around ideas on that front.

What we’ve agreed on is that we’re both ready to ease off the throttle a bit so we can keep on enjoying our time writing Jette while still leaving enough room in our lives to work on our solo projects too.

Having said all that, we’ve been brainstorming like mad recently and we’ve got so many fun ideas that we’re eager to explore. We hope you all are as excited as we are to see more Jette Jones adventures in the new year!

And speaking of which, let’s talk a bit about what happened this past year and what I’m planning on for 2022!

Behind the scenes of 2021

A lot has happened this year for me and this site. Finally starting up the long gestating Jette Jones series, putting out my second solo story on the Archive and releasing my first eBook! This year has taken me in a lot of new directions.

Those are things you know about. But I’ve also been plugging away at some projects behind the scenes. So, I thought we’d talk about a few those briefly.

Decisive Results Sequel

First up, the Decisive Results sequel. I’m happy to report that my first draft of the script is complete and that is in Tabico’s hands now for her to look over and work up ideas for the 2nd draft. I’ve already completed one finished shot for the video and I’ve gathered a host of great material to work into our story. I’ve also been doing some tests with a few pieces of software that are going to allow me to assemble this video much faster than the first.

Once the script is finished, work on the video will begin and then we’ll be tweaking and polishing. I don’t know if this project will get released next year but I’d very much like for that to be the case. We’ll just have to see how things go once they get going.

Breadcrumbs

Given the cliffhanger ending this story left us with, it’s probably not a big surprise that I often get asked when it’s going to continue. The answer is soon (I hope). I have a pretty clear idea of what I want to do with the story moving forward but I’ve been on the hunt off and on all year for some photo and video material to bring certain moments to life.

There’s one in particular that I’ve been focused on recently. I’m very keen to see one of the fiendish Minders in a future update and I’ve been gathering assets and experimenting with how I’m going to pull off this devious device of mind control… deviousness.

The point is that more is coming next year!

Lily and Samantha

I’ve completed my first draft of the next Lily and Samantha story. It’s been on the shelf for a couple months now waiting for me to go back and give a read with fresh eyes. I’ve already got some ideas about where I’ll take things in the second draft. This story is my top priority for 2022!

Well, I think that will do it for now. Thanks for your continued support and readership. I appreciate every one of you and look forward to sharing new erotic mind control goodies with you in 2022!

Have a terrific and safe holiday and I’ll see you all next year!

Hey all!

Just dropping a quick note here to let you know that the new issue of Jette Jones is going to be a few days late. The holiday last week and my busy workload just left a little less time than we ended up needing to finish. But fear not, the new issue is almost across the finish line. We’ll see you back here in a few days with the continuation of our vampire-themed adventure!

C&C

Greetings friends!

We, your humble authors, are delighted to announce that the latest issue of Jette Jones is live! The synopsis goes a little something like this:

Connie and I hope you all enjoy Captain Jette Jones, Star Ranger Issue #8 – The Draining Terror. As always, your comments, questions and suggestions are welcome!

Given the clear interest in seeing deleted scenes and abandoned ideas, that’s been my area of focus the past month. I’ve gone back and pulled out my old manuscripts, given them a bit of polish and put together an Appendices section that’s over 140 pages long!
