Bit of an experimental post. But you like experiments, you nerds.
So, I'm gonna give you a behind-the-scenes look at how pieces, such as the latest from Satanya are conceptualized. From page to image. A peek behind the curtain, and it's as sexy as it sounds.
So, "Yuki Versus."
Kinky as it is on its own, this is based on a scene from a future audio, one I sent for recording in late January.
There I was. January 2026. I had finally cracked Episode 11. While it had sex scene aplenty, it needed some more spice, more kink (there's a difference).
And while the bones of the episode hadn't changed, I recalled a scene from a movie that I could tastefully pay tribute to, while making the emotional stakes for that act in the episode much higher.
And like Lebowski's rug, it tied the episode together. So in late January, I shipped it off for recording.
Now, normally, I'd wait to commission visuals for this kind of moment closer to the episode's release. But, well...
Gulp. They're onto me.
I love it when people predict stuff for the show. Seriously, I do. It means I'm doing something right, be it emotional arcs, plotlines, or kink stuff. It means we're on the same wavelength and you guys feel it...
This is more of an insane coincidence though. Convergent thinking. And Satanya's been raring for a real scene to do. A set piece.
This is a good problem to have, and yet...
What do?
Well, you can either wait for the fan art to beat you to the punch, or tap the gas a little.
I knew in scripting this, it could not be Yuki's original slave outfit. Something compatible with it maybe, something that evokes or calls back to it, but (within horny reasons) is more practical.
Usually I start with one of these to sell the idea:
Needless to say, Tanya made wise corrections. She also took to heart the "practical" aspect. Giving something that looks appealing, but wouldn't be too much of a hinderance in a fight. Replacing her twintails with a single ponytail so there's less whipping about.
The original sketch was more conservative in that way:
It was Tanya's idea to make the mask more masquerade, not covering her mouth, out of respect for KittenVox. So that she wouldn't have to have her performance tarnished with a metallic muffle.
From the get, I thought it would behoove us to show more belly.
The horns, while badass as all fuck, are a slight non-sequitur. A little thematically off.
And yet having no horns just makes the mask...generic. So it was tabled till the end.
I proposed smaller, more bull-like horns. The Kaechulugg have something of a Mongol Empire theme going with their armor (we'll get into that some other time), and Tanya herself pointed out to me some of their masks and ceremonial garb featured Bull horns. I put some on this to see how it'd look.
Eventually, she went back to the inspiration gallery and circled in on one of the masks included: a kitsune.
Eventually, we settled on a Fox. Both for its mythological significance as a trickster, and 'cause, well... Yuki's foxie.
I hope you enjoyed this needlessly long BTS dive. If you made it to the end, please like, comment, and let me know if you'd like more stuff like this in this format. For both audios and visuals.
...seriously, if this is self-wanking cringe tell me so I don't do it again. Ideally in private, but I'm not too particular.
Yours in bondage,
