Content

A simple turnip farmer is plucked from serfdom when a roving band of Orc women take him as their captive – a terrible dishonor in their warlike culture. Intent on humiliating their new slave, he is put to work in domestic service to his new Orcish masters, cooking for them, cleaning their home, and even bathing them. Oblivious to any cultural difference, will the Orcs ever realize that he is only pretending to lament his new situation?

My next story starts today! You can read the first 2000 words at the page below:https://snekguy.com/stories/fantasy/lamentations-of-the-turnip-farmer/

I already love Rian, he’s just so done with the world he can’t even be bothered to resist captivity. I can already tell this is gonna be a fun time.

This is working out to be another favorite of mine from your extensive collection, right up with Heart of the Mountain. Orc culture is so fun to learn, and Ghorza, Sharog, and Unami are all so distinct from each other. Rian’s still the star of show though, he’s so squirrelly and fun to read. Kudos!

Snekguy

Glad you're enjoying it dude! I've been striving to give the Orcs different appeals and personalities so I'm relieved that's coming through. The cover should be ready before long too.

No update today unfortunately, I admit to being a tad overworked with art projects, but most are wrapping up shortly. Today I: -titled the Knights of Jakkar cover -sent off a new round of refs to SickJoe -gave feedback on the Krell ref sheet and did their writeup for Oouna -gave feedback on the Cabin Boy cover for JCV

Snekguy

Another art day today, just getting over the hump so I can resume updating. Today I: -released the Krell art -titled the Lamentations cover -sent off a pitch sheet for the next reference project from Oouna -gave feedback to SickJoe -gave feedback to JCV for the Cabin Boy cover That was all the really pressing stuff I needed to get done, so I should be good to resume my usual update schedule now.
