Comic audit time

 So right, someone pointed out not all the links on the comic page were active, and though they could have googled for torrents or even full d/l zips of my older comics, it would be easier if I just uploaded the comics somewhere right? There are even a few 'Shentai'-branded versions of comics kicking about, which sucks. Whoever the fuck Shentai are, they seem to want to put their logo on things they didn't create. But we forgive them for being douchenuggets, don't we, internet? Yes we do. Being Shentai is their crime, it is also their punishment xxx.

Anyway, I've uploaded the definitive versions of the comics again to my Google Drive and you can download them as zipped folders of jpegs using the links below. If you're an old fan, there's nothing new here, no secret renders or re-done scenes or anything exciting, just correct comics.

If you're a new visitor and haven't come across my comics before, it's worth noting there is an order to them, as is strongly implied by the simple numbering system. For example, '01' is the first comic, and '08' is the eighth comic. You may be able to work the rest out from there.

If you are new, the short version of what my comics are about is: well, let's be honest, incest plays a strong role. And space. And boobs and willies and bums and jokes about Ally Mcbeal and Columbo and making tea. It's basically what I wonder about when I have a spare moment late at night and I want to journey into space where ridiculously idealised males and females prance about in the buff and get inappropriately familiar with each other.

It's a wonderful, rich tapestry of nonsense that follows some slight chronological order. So if you jump in at number 05: Spymaster (for example), you would be forgiven for thinking (a) What the hell is going on?, and (b) This is shit! These would be fair statements, but rest assured if you read them in order they will likely appear less shit. And if you have a massive binge and read them all in one go, you'll likely get utterly obsessed with the whole plot and even if you thought incest was stupid before, you'll likely garner a new and unrewarding sense of the hotness of it. I did; before making these comics I had no interest in incest whatsoever! I know! True story. But now look at me; incest and manipulation are like the pivotal plot facets, constantly rearing their ugly and misshapen heads.

I'm sure Freud would give me a jolly good headbutt, but be slightly confused that my mother hasn't appeared anywhere in the comics.

Glad we've cleared that up.

Incest aside, the comics get better looking as they progress, as I learnt how to render more gooder as time went by. That's the nice thing about a hobby; if you spend hours and hours on it, you'll get better at it, even if you're an idiot.

Right. Enough about comics. What's the news with you lot then? Google now reckons 9% of my visitors are female, so we're gently improving the sausage-to-gash ratio (yes that's a gross way of putting it, no I don't care), which is super dooper.

Oh yeah, the next comic, which I very nearly basically promised in my last blog post - I know there's only an hour or so of work to be done on it, but I've been absolutely rammed with real-world events taking over my 'hobbying' time, so I'm afraid we're not on course to complete it before next week I'm afraid. Sorry about that. Not very sorry though; hey, it's a free comic. It's a good one though. So much better than Fap Club.

My goodness is it better, yes indeedy sir.

Yes indeed.

Hi, I'm a new reader. I must have seen this page as you were putting it up. I'm the type of guy that will patiently sit and download each page of a comic for later offline perusal. (caused by long stretches of military service where internet connection was... scarce). I had clicked on the chapter 1 - 5 bundle earlier today, and it was restricted, but none of the other comics were. So I just downloaded the comics individually. I also made a comment on one of the earlier posts but I'll post it again so you don't have to look at old posts:

It's nice to see non-watermelon-sized breasts on some of the women in your story. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind it in these 3d comics (although some comics out there just get ridiculous on the size of the characters), but having a little bit of variety is always nice. Will we see IX using the Tom-Space...or is it tac space(?) to get smaller tits any time soon?

Hey, thanks for the comment - and for link-checking for me! Yes luckily someone requested access to 1-5, which meant I got an email and realised I'd setup sharing wrongly for that file. All sorted now, but well done for downloading individually anyway!

Re: boobs, yeah it's a silly thing, to be honest the real reason the original characters had big boobs was that as I developed the characters in 3D, it's very hard not just keeping going with those deformation dials and getting more and more extreme characters! Lucy appeared in comic 2 with small boobs (as an immediate response to that melon-boobed problem), but as I didn't like her character (due to personality rather than proportions), it just worked out that there was a small-boob hiatus until Comic 13, Pegasus' Wraith. Now thanks to that later comic, I much prefer her character and have been able to introduce two characters (Luce and Hayley) with normal, human proportions! That might be the reason why it's one of my favourites so far; it feels more believable having more human proportions somehow.

And Luce is exactly who I'd be attracted to in the real world - someone fairly quiet but confident and with that dark side to them. So long live smaller boobed women!

Now, I wonder if the same applies to small willies...

I was wondering about Pilot Plaything. Some copies (including one of the versions on ehentai) have a couple of... alternate takes? I guess you would call them, of how events play out. In particular Tom and Ix's first tryst. Are there a lot of "deleted scenes" that might be hiding on your hdd? How amenable would you be to sharing drafts like that?

Ascienne said...

Which copies on ehentai do you mean. I haven't come across this phenomenon.

@PB
Will you have 'Bum Deal' available on e-hentai ? You may remeber, I had quality problems with the google downloads.

second question: any news on the donazion issue ?

Ixes said...

Yeah, I should have linked up to show what I mean. Here, its in this old one: http://g.e-hentai.org/g/342093/0a5f505e49/. You'll note that pg 41 through 51 kinda diverge, we're seeing the scene play out two slightly different ways. I like to headcanon that it's two mildly different parallel universes briefly converging. But then again, I'm obsessed with the notion of multiple Ixes, so what do I know?

Ascienne said...

Hi Ixes, yes I have found those 'double takes' but I could not find more of them in the other chapters. Problem is, my files from 9 upwards (Dive into the dark) are all e-hentai originals, thus I cannot find differences. All early chapters in my collection have same contents as the e-hentai ones.

Hello! To answer the original question, no I'm afraid there aren't alternative scenes sitting on a hard drive somewhere.
What happened was I created the first half of Pilot Plaything and then totally decided to stop creating these stupid comics, so I dumped the pages on Renderotica (which I haven't even visited for about 6 years) and ditched the whole thing; deleted files, the whole lot.

THEN a few years later (avid fans will know that I did this more recently after completing Blue Steel, but that was more due to my work/life setup changing completely), I decided to get hold of Poser again and complete Pilot Plaything.

So the problem was knitting the two parts of the comic together; one where Tom's about to hump Ix, and the new half of the comic where I had none of the original scenes or character files so would need to build from scratch. Instead of trying to make a seamless version of that ship interior again, I instead moved the scene to Becky and Zan in the new Captain's Cabin, and changed the script between Tom and Ix slightly so it could be wrapped up quicker.

So although it seems there's two versions of the comic, all it really was was a bit of overlap due to me changing the script as I was halfway through the comic.

Make sense? Sorry you asked? You're welcome!

(that's also why the second half of Pilot Plaything has better skin tones etc - when I rebuilt the characters I spent more time getting subsurface scattering to work)
