Announcement: Upcoming Features & Tournament Focus (Patreon)

So to begin with, just a quick workflow update. I'm working on this month's second fight gallery- Rukhsana vs. Ghoul, and this one is an especially brutal match. So far in the non-tournament matches, Rukhsana has been undefeated, having bodied Nightmare, Slither and Bruiser. Ghoul, on the other hand, defeated Atzi but was defeated by Gennadiy. Now that the First Blood Tournament has begun, these two champions will be facing each other- with executions preferred! Rukhsana sets the stage ablaze with her heat and we get right down to business- but hold yourself tight because this match is going to be violent AF and someone is gonna die screaming! Since both Rukhsana and Ghoul have lots of fans, this will be a real nail biter.

Some updates: I've decided to make the whole Bloodblade experience more immersive. I will be introducing damage meters during the fights for particular combos. These are not lifebars, which would take away from the "in the fight" experience of these scenes. Instead, they pop up post-combo or devastating hit to let you know what percentage of life the character has lost. Also, there will be fracture notices indicating bone breaking as well as stunned notices indicating a fighter had temporarily knocked their opponent into an unconscious state, leaving them open for a brutal punish.

Tournaments will take place over several months, with two per year. Each tournament will begin with ten fights, and the five winners will graduate to the next bracket to fight each other. This second series of fights will include one 3-way/endurance match and one traditional 1 vs. 1 match. The two winners will go to the playoffs and the winner of that will be crowned semifinalist. The second tournament will follow similarly, and then the two semifinalists will face each other, with the champion fighting Belial.

Tournaments will be polled-> contestants/combatants will be voted on to create the roster for each tournament. First Blood (projected to be March 2026-August 2026) will be followed by Second Blood (September 2026-February 2027). Throughout this tournament-style workflow I will be uploading Finisher Theaters as usual. Narrative scenes will be released as freebies on Patreon, Pixiv and DeviantArt, and Fight Stat Cards will be released periodically listing a fighter's wins, tower escalation, and stats (height, age, fighting styles, origin, alignment). For followers of the books wondering if there will be "Redemption" Matches? Yes, Redemption Matches will occur, but won't be following any particular tournament guideline and will be solely consisting of fighters that have lost.

It's my hope that this will engage more followers. Votes will be taken regularly. I highly encourage more interaction and comments- I do listen to fans and do my best to give you all what you want! So please, comment on your favorite fight moments, characters, what you'd like to see, and more.

I want you all to vote on the following:

Who you think should win (comment on Tournament Map)

Who you think fought best

Who is the most skilled fighter

Who is the best looking fighter

Ruin is done. I'm in the editing phase now and I will say this story goes far beyond Carnage and Reckoning. Key characters are killed off/arcs end and there are a lot of spicy scenes (romance, etc). It's about 100 pages longer than Carnage and Reckoning and that makes sense since it's the pivotal turn in the story.

Commissions are being steadily worked through but please remember I am not primarily a commission artist! I will DM you when I've started to work on yours. Please leave commission-specific comments only via DM.
