A few words about the project:


All right, as things seemed to have calmed down (and Blogger policy has been reviewed), this blog will open... Today! It will still be in construction on many aspects, but at least, I have accumulated enough content to start talking about "DragonWatch Archives" project! Some activity will start also on Tumblr soon here. You can also find some of my recent works (related to the project) on Hentai Foundry.

So what is "DragonWatch Archives" project? 


Well, basically, it's a 3DX Comics project... or for those who don't know what 3DX is: an Erotic Comics where the illustrations are 3D Renderings. I say "Erotic" because I think it will be sensibly different to 3D Porn works you find around the web nowadays: Yes there will be some hardcore stuff similar to what you can find in other Porn 3D Comics or Hentai Comics (straight sex, demons or monsters having sex with attractive women, tentacles, excessive cum, Futanari and more) but there will also be a detailed story developed around the characters and the world they live in. Unlike regular Porn or Hentai Comics, it won't be exclusively focused on sex. This will be one of the major theme but not the only one. Finally, just to be clear from the start: there won't be extreme stuff like underage characters in sex scene or guro stuff. It puts me off as an artist and as a person (beside being also illegal for underage stuff).

In which form the "DragonWatch Archives" project will be published?


This is still a point not definitely decided. I first thought to publish it like some other artists do: publishing it chapter per chapter on a payment portal. But I saw many problems to this:

- As I don't do this as a job (even It would be nice if it becomes one and lives from the income in the future), I'm always a bit reluctant to make pay people to get access to my work for something I'm never 100% sure they will like.

- It's a format that is more adapted for short Porn/Hentai/Erotic Stories. Not a story with recurring characters from one chapter to another and with some significant parts with no sex. If a chapter was going to be without sex (it shouldn't happen but we never know ;)), I can already imagine reaction from people who buy a chapter thinking there will have some sex in it. I would like to avoid this kind of trouble while being completely free to put sex scenes where I want to put them, and not just put some sex just to fill a quota. I want sex scenes to be consistent with the story.

- Putting the comics behind a payment portal is also futile on the long term: Most of 3D Porn I've seen so far has been pirated and published for free on some website sooner or later. That's sad because those who do that don't realize they're hurting people whose income are coming only from this kind of work.

Anyway, here is what I think I will do: The Comics will be published for free on a blog (most probably the present one) and if it gains in popularity, I might start a Patreon campaign to focus more and more on it. If the comics become extremely popular (meaning I can live with the money I get from Patreon) maybe I will do some short side stories or commissions on a more private basis. But we are not there yet! I just wanted to share my thoughts on the topic. If you have some suggestions or ideas regarding that, just let me know :)
