🕑 Added 2025-01-01 19:30:59 +0000 UTC2024 Review
Hello Everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful and safe Christmas and New Years!
I want to say thank you for your support for 2024 those of you that stuck by for the whole year you guys are the best, I genuinely thank you for your continued support in helping me do what I love, develop my Sweet Life content and provide you all with beautiful smut :3
I am pleased to report that 2024 was a success for me work wise.
I set out last year to ensure there was a post available every day Mon-Fri taking weekends off.
There were a couple hiccups I believe, but in general a work was produced for every day. Even if some days I might have missed a post the missed day was accounted for afterwards.
The same amount of pics were produced. So I am proud to say I achieved a large goal I set out to achieve!
I believe there was a good balance of posts. Sketches, Full Color pics and comic pages every week, ensuring that there was a healthy variety of art for everyone to look forward to every week.
I must extend a special thank you to my assistants: Apollo One and Mark Kleanup for their hard work in helping me achieve my goals. If you guys are reading this, my sincerest thanks, you guys are the best! I could not have done it without you!
2025 Roadmap
What is in store for us this year?
Well as successful as 2024 was, I will not be keeping with the pace set last year.
I understand this will be disappointing for some of you.
I set that goal last year because I wanted to see if I could do it, and I have my answer; I can.
However achieving this goal did not allow me much time to research or learn and improve as I was so concerned with making sure my quotas were reached I had to sacrifice a lot of potential learning time that could have resulted in the development of new skills and the production of more interesting content.
It also left me very burnt out in December.
It is because of this...
I will be amending my post schedule this year 2025.
You can expect 3-4 posts each week, spread out Mon-Sun instead of the usual 5 posts Mon-Fri. They will remain a balance of Sketches, Pinups and Comic pages, with more emphasis placed on Comic pages to ensure the stories progress at a reasonable pace.
Comic Goals for 2025
Complete Sweet & Sour (Currently Inprogress)
Complete Bathtime (Currently Inprogress)
Start and Complete Sweeten the Deal 2
Start and Complete Special Service 2
Additional but not promised goals
Behind the Scenes Audio Commentary on my released comics talking about the process of making them from story to final art, talking about ideas and inspirations. This has been requested content by many throughout 2024 and I wanted to do it I just struggled to find the time and I wanted the videos to be good so I found it so daunting that I never made any. But I will be brave this year and figure it out. I am by no means an editor or a film maker so expect the quality of these vids to be very improvised lol
Research & Development
AI
The future is here and for better or worse, it isn't going anywhere. I will be spending time researching (and sharing breakthroughs with you guys) how to properly use and incorporate AI into my workflow.
I know some of you have concerns about AI. But I promise you my page will not turn into an AI subscription platform. Even if I start sharing AI content, I will still be drawing and hand making my own content. My personal touch is here to stay. But I think it is important to see how AI can help speed up my workflow and hopefully result in higher quality work. So I will be researching that this year.
Animation
I cannot promise you guys any Sweet life animated content. (So no 5 minute Sweet life sex adventures yet) But I will be researching 2D animation as a curiosity. I've always wanted to learn about animation to see what is involved and if I can do it (and more importantly LIKE it)
So 2025 will also see me learn that stuff and yes share any breakthroughs with you guys!
Art, Comics and Writing
I will also spend time honing skills I already have by learning more about them and improving my foundations.
Collaborations
Games
I'm currently in the talking stages with the game developer for Starmaker Story, Arvus Games about the possibility of working together to make a Sweet Life interactive visual novel. This collaboration has not been set in stone yet, but it is something I am working hard to make a reality. I can't say any more than that as this deal is still in the very early stages and it is still possible that it will not happen, but I wanted to let you guys know that this is something I am doing my best to make a reality and you deserve to know about it
Stories & Fiction
There are a large amount of writers in my community and its criminal that there was little to no collaboration with them last year 2024. I will be aiming to fix that by hosting more competitions with art prizes for the top 3 writers in each competition.
All stories will be made available here for everyone to read, and winning stories will receive some artwork to supplement them. These will also be posted publicly to promote my Subscription platforms as well as the writers' profile and socials.
So that is all for now
These are my goals for 2025. I sincerely hope you all will stick around to support them and hopefully SEE them come to life.
its possible not everything will be achieved but I think even if I achieve half of what I set out here to achieve in 2025 it will be a successful and exciting year!
As always I am excited to hear from you all.
If you have any thoughts about the 2025 roadmap please let your voice be heard in the comments whether it be expressions of excitement, constructive criticism or general concern I want to hear from you. You guys are the batteries that power this machine and you deserve to be heard. I do what I do for you as my paying customers so I always want to do right by you guys. So let me know what you think and I look forward to chatting with you all!
God Speed for 2025!
I hope you're as excited as I am!

I would be interested in more taboo content outside of the standard Veronica kind. Not necessarily family kind but more non con barely legal with age difference. More pinups that at the end tell a small story, and not just concept pieces. I think you have a healthy amount of OC's for you to start showing more sexual content versus more world building content. Not excitedly about the game, don't have a a gaming pc and do not anticipate having one anytime soon. Curious about AI usages, as long as it is to enhance backgrounds, etc. Ai smut does absolutely nothing for me. The comic pace is slow for my taste, but i appreciate it. i was part of the group of peeps who wanted to see colors first because then that page seems amazing. Seeing the page a second time in color does nothing much times. I consider those days as non post days, dont wake up as excited to see your new post.
