Poll - Lexi's 8th Trade

It's time to decide Lexi's 8th Trade!

So far Lexi has traded her Gender, Bust size, Attraction/Sexuality, Height, Accent, Bimbo Mentality, and Clothing Style.

What is next for our girl?

Any questions on our options, or a trade you want to see in the future, post a comment below!

Open Trade - Pg 219

Lexi's date with Riley continues, and it seems like Riley has a bit of a confession to make.

So, there was a reason, Stephanie meeting the person she traded gender with was never an option to vote on in the poll. It is something that Lexi got to meet.

How do you like the new format? I think it might be taking a little longer, but hopefully we are able to tell more story. We shall see how the month goes.

New Comic - Dress to Thrill!

Hey folks! Time to do a bit of a self-promotion here.

I wanted to talk to you all about the newly completed tg comic available for paid members. It is called Dress to Thrill. This is more of a semi-autobiographic story with a fictionmania vibe.

Ron Etten works at a costume shop as a make up artist. When he finds out that the women who assist him get tips and he doesn't, he decides to don...

Open Trade - Pg 218

Lexi's time to shine as she goes on her first date with a guy. Thanfully she chose a public place to meet him. She's being safe.

Changing up the layout a bit. Mostly hoping to see if I can get in a little more story per page and speed up the story a little bit and keep things from being stagnant.

Final Exam - Pg 02

Morris and Cassie continue to discuss the app and talk about a job that is the perfect fit for Morris.

Hoping the different layouts help put a visual difference between this one and Open Trade. Working to keep things changed up a bit.

Open Trade - Issue 5

Lexi takes on a big trade and brings Stephanie shopping with her. Stephanie has a bit of a spiral of her own.

Collecting Issue 5

Final Exam - Pg 1

Time for a new story!

After reading the page, you are going to pick up a couple things, and I'll confirm those. This is taking place in the same world as Open Trade and The Ballad of Harper Kelly. You don't need to read either of those. We are mostly using the same base tech.

We won't see Stephanie or Lexi here, as we are set a few years before the events of Open Trade. There are more strictive limiations on the nanobot tech abilities at this point that are available to the publi...

Final Exam - Preview

Working on the new comic. I wanted to share some of the development sketches for upcoming characters. No word on which on are the final looks.

New pages for the new story will start on Wednesday.

Dress to Thrill - Cover

Ron Etten reaches a limit to how much he can earn at work. Attempting to improve his situation may open some doors he may not have wanted to admit to himself.

Here is the cover for Dress to Thrill. You can read the full comic at the PDF below. 

This story focuses more on clothing and make up for a more grounded transformation, instead of using magic or technology.

Dress to Thrill - pg 24

Today we are wrapping up Dress to Thrill with pg 24.

Will there be a follow up or a second issue? Who knows. It's open. There are more stories. I'm also happy to let things rest here. It's all up to you.

Next time in our bonus story slot, we will have a new story. Things are planned and underway for that. Going a little different from this story. Back to some transformations. Back to something a little more familar.

This story is loosely based on real events. I changed so...

Dress to Thrill - pg 23

The talk with the boss continues and she makes Ron an offer. Will they take it?

We have one more page of Dress to Thrill that will go up this week to wrap things up.

Open Trade - Pg 217 - UPDATE

UPDATE: Sorry for the second ping. Art was pixelated on the previous, and I wanted to make sure the correct page got out to everyone. Thanks!

------

Little late on this one. I was having a bit of a rough week last week. Some technical issues kept me from getting pages done. Then I had some insane migranes that took me out of a couple days.

Thankfully all behind now, as we wrap up Steph and Alex's 'talk'.

I'm going to working to try to catch up this week so we still hav...

Open Trade - pg 216

Stephanie and Alex have a work out, but might need to work out some other things in the process.

Steph's contant mentioning of her sexual frustrations might be catching up with her.

Sorry for the delays this week. Was having some technical difficulties. The pen tablet I use was acting odd. But it all seems to have been sorted out. I would have had this up eariler today, but I forgot the purple in her hair, and every time I went to add it, something came up to pull me away. lol 2024-04-17 19:24:48 +0000 UTC View Post

Sketch - Style Changes

As a new story is on the way, I want to change stuff up a bit so it is clearly a different story than the main story.

So I'm playing around with a couple different styles. Let me know what you like.

ROUGH - The Green is just my normal rough sketchs I do for outlines. I thought it would be fun to share.

PENCILS - Doing an all pencil version. Going for a more sketch look with some shading.

BLACK/WHITE - I'm a classic newspaper girl. And I do like the idea of leaning ...

Open Trade - Pg 215

Time to check out Lexi's new look.

Lexi isn't going to burst into flames if she's wearing something drab. She is just more drawn to the pink and frills of the coquette style.

Open Trade - pg 214

Moving through the stream pretty quick this go-round. We'll see more of Lexi's fall out and new look on the next page.

Also an opportunity to see some of Steph's exaggerated lust cropping up some more. Even the muted Lexi is still down for a bowl of Steph.

So you don't have to google. Steph just says 'fuck'.

(the 'removed' comment below was just me. I replied to someone in the wrong spot)

Poll - Steph's Next Trader Meeting

Let's see, whom shall Stephanie meet with next to discuss if she gets to undo a trade, or if she is stuck with it forever.

You can vote for multiple choices.

Just as a heads up, we're not going to see everyone she traded with. Some of the meetings just don't seem interesting to me. And a couple won't be in polls for various reasons.

Open Trade - pg 213

Back with a new trade. It's not the flashiest, but will we have some fun with it and Lexi's new look after.

Sorry on the delay. Wasn't feel too hot this week. Gonna head into the doc once this goes up. I'm sure there is nothing serious going on. Just heading in to double check. And a day off from the day job is needed.

Steph's language is a bit choppier today in general. I don't think I'll be allowed to keep it before it goes up on tgc. lol.

Open Trade - Issue 4

Stephanie has earned herself a wonderful evening and a spa day. Xavier makes a trade of his own.

Collecting Issue 4.

Open Trade - pg 212

Another Insta recap of the month before we do our next trade. Steph had an eventful month. What do you hope she is up to this next in-story month?

Belated Trans Day of Visibility to you all. I know with Easter, it was kind of ironically invisible yesterday. Hope everyone is doing alright and that the Easter Bunny cracked some eggs. Does that sound remotely right?

Minor news, if you are also following on TGC, the update will be a day late due to an April Fools comic going up today....

March 2024 - Lexi Pin Up

Lexi's turn for a pin up. Time for her to give Stephanie some competition.

This would be normally be her Status Update, but she didn't have any changes since her last Status Update. So she got a pin up like Stephanie had last month.

It's bit more of a vintage look, but Lexi's style hasn't been decided yet.

Dress to Thrill - pg 22

The chat with the boss continues, as she offers some insight about our hero.

A bit of the autobiographical part of the story comes back here. While this conversation didn't exactly take place. I was hired randomly while visiting "Bryce". She saw me talking to Bryce and called me into her office and offered me a job.

I've oddly have had this a lot with costume shops in general. Most of the time when I walk into a private costume shop for the first time, the owner tries to hire me...

Dress to Thrill - Pg 21

It's time for Ron to have a little chat with the boss about their actions for the last couple weeks.

We are in the final stretch for Ron's story. 3 more pages after this one. Then a new story will come in for 24 pages. But if people like Ron can always come back for another 24 pages. What would you like to see in the future?

Poll - Lexi gets a new fashion sense

Lexi will be getting a new look with her next trade.

People feel comfortable in different dress styles. Drawn to specific things. And Lexi will be trading her attraction to earth tone vests and turtlenecks to something a bit different. What will it be?

There are a lot of styles that overlap with the ones I selected. Even inside those styles there can be a bunch of room to move around. 2024-03-22 14:25:06 +0000 UTC View Post

Open Trade - pg 211

Wrapping up Lexi and Amelia's conversation. And back to a fresh trade next month!

Let's talk about Amelia for a bit. I normally hold some of this info back, but I wanted to discuss a bit more so if you are curious where I'm coming from.

Amelia was inpired by a fitness influcener that I stumbled upon. I was impressed by how she moved and worked out with her legs, that I thought it would be an interesting character to explore and mix up the variety of characters in our story. Also ...

Open Trade - Pg 210

Let's learn abit more about Lexi's new friend as they share secrets they have been keeping from each other. 

Setting down a solid foundation between them that can move forward with a closer bond. Hopefully giving Lexi some relationships with women that are not based on lust or attraction while she has her lust set on low. 

Accents and Languages - Unoffical Poll

So when we introduced that english is a second language for Stephanie, I decided it would be best to represent her vocal change with a color and a different font to show that she sounds different than other people. I do mess with her word choice. I remove a bunch of words that I don't think she would know, or at least they would not be quick for her to access. 

But as a main ch...

Open Trade - Pg 209

That's right, we are not immediately resolving Stephanie's naked walk home. Instead we are going to spend some time with Lexi!

Have you seen The FP? It's a really fun bad movie. Everytime you think you are going to get bored, something crazy happens to draw you back in. 

I was looking up some language choices when talking about the lead of the movie. I was going to say "disabled" originally, but missing an eye only counted as handicapped. The lines between th...

Open Trade - Pg 208

Steph wraps up her meeting with a trader with a mixed success. Steph might be getting the better deal if she stays out of jail. 

Then let's have a bit of a chat. 

I rewrote this page a bunch. I had a different idea. The more and more I thought about it the less it worked. It was a fun idea, but it was too big. It messed up a bunch of things I want to do later that I loved so much more. Sorting that issue out made something clear about the comic. We are past the halfway m...

Poll - Lexi's 7th Trade!

Time for Lexi's next trade, or well it's coming soon. Like next month. Time to decide what she will be trading. 

We are going slightly smaller trades this time around. Maybe all big options next time.
