The Pleasures of Hell - Chapter 018
Falling action. Got another chapter after this, then 1 My Little Ventrue interlude chapter, then back to PoH for another 20~ chapters.Lot of dialog. Maybe too much? Let me know.T1+ Bestiary: https://www.patreon.com/posts/poh-simplified-90310253T2+ Bestiary: https://www.patreon.com/posts/in-depth-899...
AI picture experiment 22
More experiments!First up, AI actually managed to create a gorgala with a moderately accurate color scheme to PoH. The red/black two-tone look on the body skin isn't quite right, because it should be a gradient, not a hard split, but otherwise it's pretty close. And this is pretty close to J...
The Pleasures of Hell - Chapter 017
So this became the most complicated chapter I have ever written, I think. And that includes the insanity in MLV with 6 PoVs centered around a single clusterfuck of combat. The technical details of what happens are super important to the outcomes, so I think I ended up over-describing some of the mec...
The Pleasures of Hell - Chapter 016
Ramping up! Oh god why do I make my action scenes so complicated? Feels like juggling lots of very sharp... grenades.EDIT: I did my editing using some new software, to hopefully catch more typos and grammar issues. Let me know.Images are AI art, for funsies. I have no legal claim to them, so feel fr...

Pleasures of Hell 014 delay
Damn. Chapter 14 is delayed. Life's a dick and it's getting in my way this month.I'm aiming for a new release date on the 3rd of February, with following chapters following on the 13th/23rd and so on.

Caera Commission
Another commission by elder patron FNS, this time of Caera. Definitely a challenging commission. In my head she's a bit lower to the ground, shorter limbs. Still though, pretty accurate, pretty awesome.Art by: https://www.deviantart.com/midastouched https://www.etsy.com/shop/MidasCommissions

AI picture experiment 21
Did a bunch of different experiments. I got some good versions of David, which can be surprisingly difficult to do with some AI models. One model was obsessed with making him look like a redhead David Bowie. And trying to make him look like a small, fit guy, is difficult as fuck. I can make an AI wo...
The Pleasures of Hell - Chapter 011
Merry Christmas!I think this chapter will be an are-you-in-or-out sorta chapter for readers. You'll see why.T1+ Bestiary: https://www.patreon.com/posts/poh-simplified-90310253T2+ Bestiary: https://www.patreon.com/posts/in-depth-89961163
AI picture experiment 20 (and some inspiration stuff)
A quick little post showing stuff I worked on. 'Worked on' is a weird couple of words to use for generating AI art, but I shit you not it took me like 10+ hours of tweaking and in-painting to get these results. BUT it's still AI work, I have no legal claim to it, so feel free to take and...
The Pleasures of Hell - Chapter 010
Things happen! More complexity. So many moving parts. I'm starting to worry it might be a little much just for the first book. But hey, I got many books planned. Can't do that without setting up a foundation with enough parts to support it. Last thing I want to do is jam in new elements half...

The Pleasures of Hell - Chapter 008
Early chapter! I got some shit to deal with for a few days so I moved my editing schedule up a bit. The next chapter won't be out until Dec 5th.Bit of a wordy chapter. Lot of explaining going on. But I had a lot of fun with it. And introduced new characters, too.Bestiaries are updated with the n...
The Pleasures of Hell - Chapter 007
You'd think from the AI images I generate for these chapter previews, I was writing some supernatural cult horror story. The preview images are really just to give a sense of the aesthetic motif I'm aiming for in certain areas, not an actual scene in the story, FYI. And as always with all AI...
Daoka Commission
One of my elder patrons FNS was gracious enough to commission art of Daoka and share it with us. Everyone apparently loves Dao so they wanted to commission artwork of her so everyone could get to see her. Enjoy! It's a very cute interpretation.Art by: https://www.deviantart.com/midastouched http...
AI picture experimentation 19
Getting better at tinkering with AI to create the images I want. Hilariously some of these took over 10 hours of tinkering and nudging to get the AI to do exactly what I wanted. So, not as many images this time, but definitely more accurate and useful for PoH. They'll be going into the T2+ besti...

Things! Getting to some actual meat this chapter. But, readers might hate me for this chapter, for 2 reasons. :3T1+ Bestiary: https://www.patreon.com/posts/poh-simplified-90310253T2+ Bestiary: https://www.patreon.com/posts/in-depth-89961163 (currently totals 8 breeds, and various minor updates)
AI picture experimentation 18
More experiments of Mia, and someone else.I included 1 pic of Mia if she was 10 years older. That's what I'm calling it, anyway. Some AI models just really don't give a shit about the age I tell them, so she came out looking around 30.I also included some pics of female grems (gremlas) a...
The Pleasures of Hell - Chapter 005
We're getting somewhere, though this chapter is definitely an in between exposition sorta chapter. Ideally in the future these sorts of chapters become increasingly rare. And hopefully this chapter doesn't trip over itself too much, explaining and showing things.T1+ Bestiary: https://www.pat...
AI picture experimentation 17
Getting better at navigating AI, plus new AI models are coming out all the time. Check out these new pics of David and Mia, David in particular on a bunch of different AI models. I'll try doing some stuff of them in Hell in the future. Plus 1 pic from Nox who put together a decent Vratorin using...

Developments! Lot of set up in this chapter. I try to keep things rolling, but alas, I don't think I can avoid a little more set up than usual in these early chapters.T1+ Bestiary: https://www.patreon.com/posts/poh-simplified-90310253
PoH - Simplified Bestiary
Here is a simplified bestiary for PoH. I'll link this post in every chapter release of PoH, so readers can easily refer back to it if they find it necessary. Ideally you won't need the bestiary, but better to have it than not.T2+ patrons will have access to a more in-depth bestiary in the fu...
AI picture experimentation 16
Experimenting with Mia, our petite 19-year-old ginger woman. I used a lot of different AI models for this, including some simple anime ones, but I eventually tossed the anime ones. Anime just can't help but make petite women look like they're 14, very frustrating.I can't get the AI to ma...
The Pleasures of Hell - Chapter 002
Time to start building things up. Lots of little clues in this chapter, but it'll be a while before we build up to all the moving pieces MLV had, and more.
The Pleasures of Hell - Chapter 001
Here we go, first chapter of the new series. First chapter is double length, almost 29k words.FEEDBACK. HIT ME. I got a huge series planned out, but it also has a lot of room for feedback. Make sure you tell me what you like or don't like.Edit: I'm putting together a simple bestiary for patr...
My Little Ventrue full release
Here's the full ePub file from StoriesOnline, and I threw a cover on it that I commissioned years ago that I never ended up using. I also converted it into a PDF.2.6 million words. Sheesh. So many mistakes, so many lessons learned.
