Scheduling announcement

Beginning tomorrow we are going to have a twelve-day hiatus in Fruiting Bodies to allow both our artist and guest writer to get a bit further ahead of the demanding page-a-day schedule. Do not fear for lack of content, however, as we will be running a brief — and I hope interesting — minicomic, “Twice as Good”/”Duas vezes melhor”/”Dufoje pli bona” written by me and illustrated by Lucy Fidelis. This publication will be Lucy’s first comic in something like eight years here at Erotic Mad Science, so I hope you will give her a warm reception.

Grote Opdracht Brides in the Sea

Longtime Erotic Mad Science artist Lucy Fidelis was given the same fictional news story as the other artists and came up with this dynamic illustration which advances the plot. From above, the would-be brides have tumbled into the sea from the storm. From below, something far more ominous appears to be rising…

Does the fictional news story exist in Portuguese as well as in English? But of course!

Na semana passada, equipes controlando um robô de resgate submersível perto da ilha de Motofupo, no sudoeste do Pacífico, fizeram uma descoberta inesperada da placa de identificação e outros destroços que teriam pertencido a um veleiro holandês perdido há mais de um século. O Grote Opdracht partiu de Roterdã no início de 1886, levando um grande quantidade de carga e passageiros para as Índias Orientais Holandesas. Ele fez sua última escala em Cingapura antes de partir para o leste, rumo às ilhas Molucas. Nunca mais se tinha tido notícias dele. O fato de sua placa de identificação ter sido encontrada tão longe de qualquer rota plausível que possa ter seguido sugere que ele talvez tenha sido pego por uma estranha tempestade tropical e percorrido uma longa distância antes de finalmente afundar perto de Motofupo. A perda do Grote Opdracht foi especialmente triste pelo fato de que seus passageiros incluíam diversas mulheres holandesas e flamengas solteiras, que viajavam para o leste para se casarem com colonos holandeses que trabalhavam nas Molucas. Essa tragédia foi tema de uma balada popular holandesa do fim do século 19: “Mijn geliefde meisje slaapt in de zuidelijke zee.” (“Minha amada dorme no mar do sul.”)

Lucy can be found on DeviantArt and also maintains a professional site. She is normally open for commissions.

As with the other illustrations, I have made this one available in its full resolution.

Bait now has a really permanent home

I am pleased to announce that my (very) graphic novella Bait has a permanent Internet Archive home:

Here is the link to the archive page, where you can download the whole graphic novel and all of its pendant art in either CBZ (a comic book archive format similar to ZIP) or as a single big PDF document. You can also read the comic in a nifty screen reader the archive provides (also embedded in small size above). The archive has also auto-converted my uploads into a variety of other formats. The completeness or reliability of these versions is a bit uncertain, but I would welcome reports from anyone who wants to look at them.

At 113 pages and with no fewer than five contributing artists, the assembly and uploading of this version of the comic was an unusual challenge, and it pleases me no end that this particular phase of the Bait project is now complete!

The fourth and to my mind most fetching of Lucy Fidelis’s pendant illustration to Bait. Chiba Moe, working as an ama, encounters and makes friends with an octopus. As with the others, this illustration is available in high-resolution.

This illustration is by our longtime friend Lucy Fidelis. In it, Eliza Fanshaw from Bait sleeps on tangled sheets, the morning light falling across her body, as a kitty dozes beside her. You can download the high-resolution version of the illustration with a right-click and save.

Bonus Art: Lucy Fidelis does Clown Girl

Readers who will cast their minds back to the Shon Richards’s Nion Encephalization Enhancement stories (which begin here will remember the whimsical figure of Clown Girl, that avatar of her own erotic counter-reality. Longtime friend of the site Lucy Fidelis here offers her own version of Clown Girl.

Lucy maintains a DeviantArt site here and a Tumblr here, and if you like what you see, you can help help support her on Patreon, as I do!
