“Jireen” is a character who will have a major role to place upcoming numbers of the Tales of Gnosis College, so naturally I commissioned Lon to design her in some detail. I normally run these designs on this site earlier in the publication process, but for this one I felt obliged to wait, as to reveal even the existence of Jireen would have been quite the spoiler. But now that’s no longer true, so here’s her design.

Where Am I? character design: Tanya Yip

Tanya is an aspiring musician, a singer pushing forward with formidable classical training. Kudos to those who can figure out who she was modeled after!

Where Am I? character design: Dolly Gibson

Dolly Gibson is the girlfriend of Buck Yale, not a difficult role if you’re willing not to keep close tabs on his activities. She’s very much up for a good time, but even less prudent than Buck.

Where Am I? character design: Aphrodite Mora

As Gnosis Dreamscapes winds its way to its exciting conclusion, Lon and I are getting ready to roll out Volume VI of the Tales of Gnosis College, and that means new character designs which I’ll present here in hopes of whetting everyone’s appetite for the comic to come.

First up, Aphrodite Mora, a rather too-trendy professor of really too-trendy philosophy. She might not be too easy on Iris Brockman’s nerves, but she is certainly easy on our eyes.

Squick or Squee 2012 I: Gorgon’s Plaything

In the corner of the Northern Hemisphere that I inhabit leaves are turning and spooky things are walking about at night, and we all know what that means here at Erotic Mad Science. Yes it’s Squick or Squee Week, and the third annual one, too.

For those of you who weren’t around for the first two Squick or Squee Weeks, the idea is something like this: in the week before Halloween, I run a series of illustrations that have the dual properties of being erotic (at least to some viewers) and at the same time perhaps a bit frightening or repulsive as well.

This year is a little different from past years, in that Squick or Squee week is going to be all bespoke, that is, consist entirely of images which I specifically commissioned from artists who have done great work here at Erotic Mad Science before. The commissions were deliberately left very broad. Artists were given the concept of Squick or Squee week (and their fees, of course) and set loose to produce whatever their imaginations came up with. I am pleased with the outcomes and hope you will be, too.

Who better for our first entry of the week than our Tales of Gnosis College creator Lon Ryden, whose Squick or Squee week entry should please all of you A.S.F.R. fans out there. It’s called Gorgon’s Plaything.

Invisible Girl, Heroine: Chapter Two, Page Twenty-Four

Knowing what Jill already knows about the scanner, you might have to be brave to enter it. Fortunately for mad science, Jill is very brave.

Now I was originally planning on putting a pendant illustration for this post Lon’s clever animation showing a girlscanner at work, but I then recalled that I’ve already posted that. But I then remembered that Lon did an even earlier animation which has never posted here at Erotic Mad Science, although it was posted elsewhere as an easter egg for dedicated readers of the Tales. Well, it’s now long past Easter, so I guess I’ll present that animation now. Ladies and Gentlemen (and others), an animation of the Apsinthion Protocol in action.

Holiday weekend bonus 2: Another promotional poster

A slightly more risqué mad science-themed promotional poster, also now in use at various corners of the Internet.</p>

The poster has a pretty classic inspiration:

At the time I first discovered this poster I was mourning the fact that the underlying Paul Fairman story the cover was illustrating was unavailable. But it wasn’t long before that great law of the Internet age — that if anyone ever loved it then everyone can get it — kicked in, and an edition was published. Based on the cover, I was so hoping that the woman depicted on the cover might be a Kitty Carroll, but got instead a weird mix of hard-boiled detective story with unpersuasive science fiction. Disappointing…

Holiday weekend bonus 1: Promotional Poster

Another of Lon Ryden’s promotional posters, this one with a tube-girl theme. Because this is part of an advertising campaign and used in different places around the web, our experimental subject gets a little more modesty than would be usual at EroticMadScience.com.

Study Abroad bonus: GirlScanner animation

I was able to talk Lon into doing a few simple animations recently, and here is one of them, offered as bonus content to Study Abroad. Just a girl being scanned, nothing complicated.

This is one of two animations that Lon did for Tales of Gnosis College recently. Have you found the other one?
