NSFW Commission — Cleopatra (Patreon)

This is the first of THREE new commissions that are coming your way in October courtesy of the new $50 Patreon level that rewards patrons with a digital commisison every other month! (In addition to everything from the $10 level, of course.)

For this commission, I was asked to do a time-traveller who had gone back to ancient Egypt to make her own special offering to Cleopatra.

Monster Hunter

Some of you saw the sketch for this and mentioned that it resembled the sketch for the Monster Hunter I teased earlier. And that brings me to a topic that I've been debating for weeks now:

I have a Monster Hunter storyline partially scripted. And I really like it. Then it hit me that I had subconsciously lifted part of the concept from a fellow NSFW comics artist. And now, I'm conflicted as to whether I should pursue the comic at all.

Their comic is vastly different, but the core concept behind the story is too similar for my taste. Part of me says to scrap it. The other side says to acknowledge it upfront with a note on the first page, and roll with it. It might be somethings as simple as "Based on an idea by xyz."

It definitely won't be done in time for October, but given the nature of the Evil Inc universe, I'm not sure it's going to feel out-of-place if it runs in another month.

What are your thoughts?
