Happy new year Patrons!
This year saw the completion of C.O.W Issue #5 (Chao-Lactosis), Lady Blur, and Soniq Dahog - and also promised the beginnings of the next issues for all + the Shadow comic PEERLESS, within which we are yet to get to the meat of.
But I understand it came off ineventful and slow to some. I had a lot of problems to navigate, and I made the mistake of it affecting here again.
So without further ado, let's see how the year 2026 will be the great course-correct. Announcing:
SONIKKO: Speedy Milk Delivery, is the current game I'm developing. It's a map-based management/sim game with rouge-like elements and minigames to accompany the more adult themes. The demo version will be out in July this year for Gamer Queen patrons, featuring "Launch Day", the 7-day scripted tutorial segment. The full version, hopefully, will be out a full year from now, December 2026, and after which more content and QoL updates will be provided.
There will be PATRON REWARDS, mainly the first 10 Patrons to follow the criteria of:
Populating one of the two new Tiers ($15 and $30, respectively at least once throughout 2026
AND having hit a lifetime pledge to my Patreon campaign of at least $300 (for new Patrons this is duly possible by staying in the $30 tier for 10 months or having subscribed to it annually)
will be rewarded by having their OC (Human or Mobian) be a neighbor in the game, featuring its own graphics with a steamy minigame including themselves and Sonic.
More information regarding the game will be on Twitter, Bluesky, and also, the game's own Announcement post here.

COMIC UPDATES:
C.O.W #6: In the Aisle of the Dolls will be another wacky adventure of the Golden CEO Sonic, featuring all new 16 pages. This time, I will not stand to have an entire issue take more than a year to complete. The issue will be complete in July, getting updated by 3 pages in EVERY MONTH that has 31 days, and 2 pages in other months. Whether C.O.W will be proceeded by Soniq Dahog: Rebound or Lady Blur #2, will be my patrons' decision when the time comes.

COMMISSIONS:
Everyone knows I now have an unending pile of undelivered commissions. Every month in 2026, I will deliver at 2 commissions, and accept at least 1 new commission. The lucky client for each month will sadly be chosen by me, and I will be WAY more strict in my decision. I had to make this decision because I've had to deal with a LOT OF very hard, very detailed, some spanning 12+ panel comic book page commissions. I shouldn't have been so lenient, it was my fault, and in the end, it made me slower in my updates, and defeated my motivations.
For the current year, the new commissions must:
Feature Sonikko
The client must be a paid patron
A male human OR a Sonic OC, I will no longer to anthro or other species, as the secondary character. A tertiary character may be female, and I will not feature a 4th character. Tertiary characters will increase the price. I mostly do straight FxM stuff with Sonikko, I apologize, and I will sadly choose these works over the others as I deliver them with more haste and motivation. A trans woman character, or a "futa", still counts as female to me, so I'm sorry about that too.
A comic page, when described, should NEVER take more than 6 panels. In the event of a 7th panel being direly required, I will expect a payment increase. I will NOT do an 8th panel.
Price tags otherwise will remain the same as previous, benefitting from all the otherwise-mentioned discounts of featuring Sonikko.
I will only take ONE order per client at any given time. If you want a continuation for a previously done comic page, let me know, I will put you in the queue. The relevant discounts will still apply.
I am going to put myself through a rigorous regimen of 3-days-a-week video game coding-and-art, and in the other days I will push myself for delivering said 2-3 Comic pages + commissions. This year, unless I get sick, I dedicate to kicking my own ass and giving you a worthy year's worth of goodies for keeping me fed and housed, keeping my cats healthy and more importantly, providing more Sonikko to the world.
Thank you. Happy new years!
