A couple months have passed since we last saw our anal-obsessed lovebirds. Seems that life has slowed down just a bit since the Halloween party, but things are bound to get more exciting as the new year approaches.
I'll be posting new pages each week until the chapter is fully public.
If you don't feel like waiting you can get access to way more pages (or high-res ones) right now on Patreon.

Hope you all enjoy!

Critque: This is not how comics work. This feels like a need to get a whole lot of text in and it really really doesn't work. Either you use the visuals of a comic or the prose of writing - or you divide the visuals in one page and prose on another but these giant blocks - this ain't it. Respectfully these feels like someone who just doesn't read manga or comics. The typography also has no space. In an effort to maximize size everything is crammed. Love your art.

Genuinely appreciate the honest feedback, and it's something I really struggled with in the first two pages of this chapter (but it does improve past that point).
When I'm starting work on these chapters what tends to happen is that I want to set up a lot of plot elements so I have things to pay off later in the chapter (or in future ones). Thus the first and last few pages often get crammed with a lot of narration boxes.
You are correct that I don't actually read many comics myself, but admittedly I don't think I've ever seen one that separates prose and visuals on different pages as you describe, so that's not a technique I'm familiar with.
Total honesty as well, part of the reason so much gets crammed in initially is that it speeds up the pace of the story considerably. Oftentimes with adult comics you are tasked with balancing how much story you're telling with how much sexy stuff you're featuring on each page, and people tend to want things to get going a lot faster than they might otherwise.
So where that lands me is in a weird space where I want to set up story stuff for this chapter, recap the events since last chapter, and have action keeping things moving in each panel, and that tends to land me here. It's not a great system, but I have yet to find a better alternative that doesn't slow the pace down.
I will definitely make it a point to be more aware of this issue going forward though and try to work around it; I *also* don't want future chapters to start off quite so cramped, trust me!

I don’t mind the blocks of text my only problem with this first page was knowing what panel to read next. Usually your work is easy to follow but I had a bit of struggle this time. I’m looking forward to the rest of the comic. As Star has become less about the action and more about the story for me.

Personally, I think it's alright if it's just for some exposition at the beginning. Yes, it could be trimmed down a bit, but I do think the this more story-focused rather than illustration-focused approach works in this scenario.

I was about to say It, Yet I remember those pages of Togashi on Hunter x Hunter, when he also puts a lot of text on a same page.
I understand that it might be tedious for the casual viewer (even for more tolerant fans), but I also understand Star's perspective. Sometimes, you don't know how to synthesize everything you want to say.

This comic encapsulates what's so unique about your works. If a different artist had written it, the pred would've already churned ten people just to see if the pendant would get an upgrade. Meanwhile our girls here are not even considering the idea of taking unwilling preys even for catch-and-release.
Star and Danica could have a thousand comics and they wouldn't stop being refreshing. Gotta respect that.

Thank you, that's tremendously nice of you to say! I have always been a fan of the "slow burn" in these types of stories; I love seeing a character go from not knowing what vore is to confidently handling multiple prey, and seeing each step they took along the way.

Ah, that's cool to know. I've also used the term "slow burn" for one of my pieces that took its time getting to the vorish bits. It ended up being one third fantasy adventure, one third vore fiction and one third futa porn. It's a nice touch when the vore scenes are alternated with sex scenes and everyday scenes, imo.

I haven't had a chance to visit Ekka's for a few weeks, and my first thought when I logged in was "I wonder is Starcossing has updated their comics?"
Ask, and ye shall receive!
