Free Erotic Photographic Comic Book: Incursion

Following the my unsuccessful attempt to kickstart an erotic comic book, I decided to follow some good advice and build the Omega City brand by creating a short comic and giving it away for free. Interestingly, the comic ended up being almost as long as PowerChick: Destabled.

So here is the free comic: Tales from Omega City: Incursion. In it, PowerChick learns that there's no day off for superheroines when she is attacked by a corrupted nature sprite in the woods.

 

I shot this with the amazing Leya and newcomer Ember Dean back in late October, 2014. I had bronchitis, it was freezing outside, and the park we were shooting in had a fair number of nosy park visitors and their dogs. More than once we had to quickly cover the ladies up while dogs came sniffing around our stuff. To top it off, we had last minute cast and plot changes and I was basically shooting by the seat of my pants, writing the dialogue and plot in my head while posing the models.

Being the perfectionist that I am I spent the next three months retouching every panel to enhance the makeup and wings to make them stunning, and I'm quite pleased with the results. Feedback has been positive and there's more interest in the entire Omega City series. I'm already lining up models for the next free comic short which will introduce the mayor of Omega City, Samantha Dawg, after which point I will attempt to crowdfund the next few comics via Offbeatr.

Here is what Ember had to say about the experience:

I joined the team as a sub in model for others that were unable to make it, the team welcomed me on and made me feel comfortable - I was basically meeting everyone for the first time day of the shoot - It was comfortable and if slightly freezing the amount of fun I had made up for it. Have worked with almost everyone in other projects since and look forward to in the future

And for those who want to see the gorgeous Ember when she isn't a demonic creature, here are some sexy shots of her (click on the images to view her profile on ModelMayhem):

 

Thanks a Lot, United Kingdom.

So I've been trying to drive more traffic to Mall of Erotica as it is the area I am most lacking in. I was running an ad campaign on Naked Experiment when I was informed that one of the users couldn't get to my site. It turns out that some ludicrous new practices by ISPs in the UK have all ISP subscribers blocked from websites that contain "inappropriate content" as defined by some unknown authority under the guise of "protecting children" because apparently parents are too stupid/clueless to educate and monitor their childrens' use of Internet technologies.

You can get yourself unblocked, but that basically means going to your ISP to prove your 18+ and request the block removed, thus implying you are going to view pornography even if you just want access to some of the blocked information (even if it isn't pornography related), such as sex education, support for pornography addiction, support for rape & domestic abuse, suicide prevention, drug advice, etc.


While I understand and support the desire to protect children I don't think killing unfettered access to any information on the Internet is the right path to take. The Internet is the closest form of pure universal freedom of speech that humanity has yet to attain, and people afraid of what knowledge will do to others should not be the ones deciding what people get to access.


Oh well. I guess a bunch of people won't be able to click on the ad I paid for.


Thanks, UK.

Kickstarter Campaign Managers - Yet Someone Else Trying to Make a Quick Buck

After starting my kickstarter project to fund my next comic, The Pink Pantser, I was immediately contacted in Kickstarter by someone offering to help me:

Hi NiCheng,
I wanted to get your best contact/email. Let me know if you would like some extra assistance in driving more support. I think I have the perfect audience in mind. Shoot me your email when you get a chance.
Thanks!"

Since I had posted about Pink Pantser on the Ultimate Superheroine Forum, and Superheroines In Bondage forum, I had figured it was someone from that community who was trying to be supportive of the little guy (me). So I responded, but didn't receive a reply.

Then the following day I received this message in Kickstarter from someone named "Madison Meyer":

Hi NiCheng ,
I wanted to compliment you on your campaign. You should commend yourself for getting this far with it. Let me know if you want some help in reaching the right audiences. I'm always looking to help out crowdfunders like yourself. Let's get in touch

At this point I grew suspicious...this sounded less like people interested in helping me achieve my goal as much as it sounded like someone hoping to part me from my cash. I replied asking if they were offering some kind of service. I never received a response. Madison Meyer's kickstarter account is now deleted.

Since I had tied my Facebook account to the Kickstarter project, at the same time I got a message from someone named "Diana J. Simpson" from a group called "Get Me Crowdfunded". She started off saying this:

I’m sure you get plenty of messages regarding your campaign, some compliments, and many trying to sell you something…The truth is you’re here to develop funds, not spend them.

 She then proceeded to tell me all about the services they offer, for the sale (this week only!) price of $199.

While it's hardly surprising that the success of kickstarter has created an entire cottage industry of "kickstarter-starters" it's still a little disappointing to put a lot of effort into one's project just to be pounced on by all the sharks waiting in the shadows.

If you're running a kickstarter campaign, then you've probably already run into these electronic snake-oil salesmen. I don't trust them, certainly not for an erotic kickstarter project.

In the meantime, I continue to look for ways to promote my erotic kickstarter project without having to pay someone to spam it for me. Any suggestions? Only 40 days left!

Kickstarting Erotica!

Creating PowerChick: Destablized was a lot of fun and very educational, not to mention a big checkmark on my bucket list. However undertaking it has made me want to do more comics, better comics, bigger comics! Comics that are all tied together via a massive story arc and tell an incredible story filled with heroes and villains, corrupt politicians and activists, all with erotic and fetish undertones. So big is the story I want to tell that I've already started a new website dedicated to these comics: Omega City Stories.

The next story I'm going to do in the Omega City universe before continuing the PowerChick story arc (which will take 3 more comics to resolve) is a separate series called "Tales From Omega City". The first issue (#001) is entitled "The Pink Pantser" and is the story of how corrupt Omega City mayor Samantha Dawg enlists the help of two superheroines to catch a kinky but elusive activist who likes to humiliate the greedy and corrupt by stripping them nude in public! The story will feature several locations, several models, nudity, light bondage, a light chloroform scene, and lots of witty dialogue!

And I already have the main cast lined up:

These comics aren't cheap to make, though. PowerChick was done with two models and a hair and make-up artist in a single studio and still cost me a pretty penny. The end result was worth it, though. But to go bigger and better, I'm going to need some help.

Enter Kickstarter.

Kickstarter is a site where people like me can pitch projects to the public in order to crowdsource funding, and offer rewards based on the amount pledged. I have set up a project for The Pink Pantser, and the funds requested will go towards getting us the equipment we need to properly shoot on location, venue rental, producing physical copies of the comic, and, most importantly, paying our beautiful models.

So if you'd like to help us create high-quality, Winnipeg-based erotica, check out our Kickstarter project. The rewards range from getting an electronic copy of the finished product (for cheaper than the final retail price!) to being able to have dinner at a Winnipeg restaurant with the four beautiful women above! If you're particularly brave, you can even become part of the comic by submitting a photo of yourself nude or in your underwear to be listed as one of The Pink Panter's wealthy victims (see our project for details)!

Thanks in advance for your support and please spread the word! Together we can make an incredibly fun and kinky story!

Coming Soon...Omega City Stories

Today I purchased the domain name http://omegacitystories.com/ and put a placeholder graphic up there. What this site will be is a promotional tool for all the Omega City comics/books (PowerChick included), and will ultimately link back to Mall of Erotica.

And on Saturday we have our book signing! Sisi as Cantonessa and Leya as PowerChick will be there, so if you'd like to meet the lovely ladies behind the masks, come on down! 88 Albert St. (in the Exchange) from 2pm to 5pm!

See you there!

A Photoshoot with Miss Heather

We're in the works on our second erotic comic set in the Omega City universe at Mall of Erotica, and for this one I needed to find a model who was mature (40+), fit, and comfortable with being in a superheroine outfit and then subsequently out of said superheroine outfit. ;)

Enter the gorgeous Miss Heather, a Winnipeg-based, adult masseuse with 34F beautifully-sculpted breasts who had contacted me back in 2012 about doing modelling for Mall of Erotica but things didn't work out then. When I needed to cast for my new comic she was who I thought of for the role of Bindella, the older half of a superheroine duo. I reconnected with her and delightfully she was on board with the project. She never had professional photos taken and I needed a headshot for some of the promotional material I"m working on so she invited me to her house for a photography session. Coincidentally she lived very close to a place I lived in a number of years ago, so I easily found my way to her quiet street and went up to her unassuming house.

Now as I've said before I've led a sheltered life, and while I've shot a few girls nude the actual number of naked women I've been around is quite low for someone who is technically a pornographer. So I was a little suprised when Heather answered the door wearing nothing but panties and a pink robe. But it wasn't nearly as surprising as when she introduced me to her husband who was in the room next to her dining room where we did most of the shooting! He was a super cool guy and helped her with her outfit changes between shots.

In the 2.5 hours we were shooting we took around 250 photos; less than what I normally take, which I'm interpreting as a sign that I'm getting better at photography. Indeed, the first few I've processed since yesterday look terrific:

So I know what you're thinking: you want to know why I haven't posted any pics of those delicious-looking 34Fs bare and out there, right?

Well I'm keeping those under wraps until the next comic is complete! Rest assured, not only will Miss Heather's character of Bindella have to bare her boobs, she will most likely be losing her panties, too! ;)

Until then, you can help me get Miss Heather nude by going and buying a copy of PowerChick: Destablized from Mall of Erotica, or by coming to The Boutique (88 Albert St.) on Saturday, June 21st and buying a physical copy, as PowerChick, Cantonessa, and I will be at "Reading is Sexy" to do the whole booksigning thing!

See you later!

If you're going to be in Winnipeg on June 21st, then come on down to Fantasy Boutique, 88 Albert St. at 2pm where I will be there to promote PowerChick: Destablized, along with Sisi and Leya, the gorgeous stars of the comic!

Even More Erotic Comics

In addition to our release of PowerChick: Destablized, Mall of Erotica is please to announce the addition of new shop Coaxdreams from Coax along with three of his sexy comic books:

A Petgirl's Story -the story of May, the most beatiful and sweet petgirl in that world.

 

 

Kinky Slave - A comic about a relationship of dominance and submission, leather masks and kinky sex, all sprinkled with humor.

Nymphomaniac - In a crazy society, SEX can be the best answer. Welcome to the world of the Nymphomaniac.

We're really excite to have Coax join us and we hope everyone goes and checks out his steamy artwork!

PowerChick: Destablized has been released!

Five years ago if you told me I would create an erotic photographic comic my response would have been "yeah, right!". I've always had the interest, but never the photographic skills to take good pictures or the social skills to convince sexy women to strip naked in front of me.

So last year I started working on improving myself in those regards. And it paid off. Though it took six months to organize and finally finish, PowerChick: Destablized is up for sale at Mall of Erotica!

In our story, the heroine PowerChick confronts the villainess Cantonessa during one of her hijacked television transmissions, only to find herself at the tricky terrorist's mercy! Will PowerChick overcome Cantonessa or is she destined to be a humiliated slave forever? Features erotic superheroines, cosplay, unmasking, nudity, and erotic humiliation.

Here's a sample page exclusive to this blog!!!

So check it out! For only $4.99 you get 22 pages of erotic photo comic! Buy today and help up us little kink producers! :)

PowerChick: Destablized Coming Soon!

I'm super excited today to announce the soon-to-be released first ever erotic comic on Mall of Erotica, PowerChick: Destablized!

Our first erotic photocomic features beautiful Winnipeg models Leya as our heroine PowerChick and Sisi as the sinister villainess Cantonessa. In the story, the mysterious Cantonessa is hijacking all world broadcasts to spread her anti-Western propaganda and messages of terror. PowerChick tracks down the source of Cantonessa's signals and goes to confront the villainess only to find herself powerless and at the mercy of this sadistic humiliatrix on live TV! Will PowerChick prevail or will is this the end of our heroine?

Ever since I saw my first erotic photo comic I've been wanting to create one. I came up with the basic plot for PowerChick: Destablized back in October of 2013 but it took me until mid-March to find the right models and organize the shoot, props, costumes, etc. I'm very pleased with the end result and I'm hoping you will be, too! Creating this was a dream come true and there's nothing hotter than seeing your own erotic fantasy come to life!

If I can sell enough copies of this comic I will be able to create the second issue, which I've already mapped out, so if you're a fan of erotica, fan of erotic superheroines, and want to see the local Winnipeg erotica community grow, please spread the word!

And if you're a Winnipegger interested in being a part of future erotic comics, please fill out our talent search form.

Big Things Coming

I've been silent on the website front for a few months as I've been involving myself in the local photography community in Winnipeg...building a skillset and networking with other photographers and models. It's been a very educational process, and as someone who is naturally introverted, it's been a very social one as well. I must say that it's strange to now be 35 but hanging around hot 19-24 year-olds that I never would have dreamed of being around when I was that age. I definitely wasted my youth!

@BrandyReicker, shot by Yours Truly

This past weekend I got to participate in a group photoshop featuring implied nude models, and as luck would have it the beautiful, sexy, busty and super-cool Brandy Reicker was there, and I got to shoot her!

Even better was Brandy's interest in Mall of Erotica! We're currently in talks but there's a good chance that we're going to be seeing a LOT more of Brandy in the coming weeks (guess how the title "Big Things Coming" relates to her ;) )!

The month of March is going to see my first-ever erotica released for sale on MoE: an erotic photocomic (or as I like to call them "photoGraphic Novels"). I won't reveal any details yet, but the theme is going to superheroines and erotic humiliation, so stay tuned!

Organizing these shoots is hard work, especially now that I live outside of Winnipeg and studio space is very expensive. And when you're paying models too, you have to spend a fair bit of time saving up between shoots.

All that being said, I'm hoping my endeavours with this site start paying off and I can start buying better equipment or even try to get my hands on some dedicated space to shoot in.

While you're waiting for my first erotic pieces, we have all sorts of new, erotic ebooks for sale at Mall of Erotica from our ever-growing legion of erotic content providers, such as the steamy BDSM serial Bound to the Blind: Day 1, where a woman has to bail her brother out of trouble by agreeing to be a millionaire's slave.

Stay tuned, folks...big things coming soon!

New Product Type: Artwork

After waiting patiently for over a year for him to join, talented artist 3Dee has joined Mall of Erotica and uploaded his first piece of 3D rendered erotica: Busty:

The quality of his renders is so high that we had to explicitly create the new product type of "Artwork" so that people wouldn't get confused and think these are actual photos of real people!

In this photoset, leather-clad Busty poses for our virtual photographer in a manner of positions, finally stripping completely and proving that while she may be virtual, she's all woman. I couldn't help but get aroused just reviewing the pictures and I can't wait to see more!

With 3Dee's arrival work has been started on a new feature to the site to allow customers to request custom work from our shopkeepers. We're still working out the details but we hope to have something in place soon. With hot 3D rendering like this, who could resist wanting to see the girl of their dreams in whatever pose they wish?

In other news the site is almost at the 400 product mark, so if you're an erotica producer, model, or author you'll want to get in on the action as Mall of Erotica continues to grow in popularity and attract new customers! Open a shop today!

4-Play & 5-Play at Aquarius

I finally did it! I am now a pornographer. :)

Back in July I did my first photoshoot with 4 kinky friends at Aquarius Bath House in Winnipeg. It was full amateur unscripted fun at its best!


French Maid's nipples get the clamps

Up until that point my education in photography had me taking photos of static subjects under controlled lighting conditions. My teacher told me that my photos were some of the best she's seen from a beginner. So with a well-inflated ego I took on the task of photographing Kitsune88, French Maid, Shelby, and Lylani while they had some BDSM fun at Aquarius. To be honest though, as an amateur photographer I think I bit off more than I could chew.

I had never been to Aquarius or any place like that before, so I was a little out of my element, nor was I expecting to meet Shelby and Lylani, two post-op transgendered women. Prior to them I had only met one transgendered woman (that I was aware of) briefly back in October 2012 at a Tortured Youth meeting and it took me awhile to acclimatize to the reality of it, and to correct myself from calling them "guys". The group immediately started stripping and tying each other up. Despite the nudity and the sexual mood of the room I was able to maintain composure and focus on getting the pictures. Only one time in the entire three-hour session did I find myself aroused.

Aquarius is a great place for naughty romps, but a photo studio it is not. The room we had was lit poorly (one light on a far wall). I brought one static soft box light with me, but there was only one outlet in the room so most of my photos were confined to that area. After talking to some other photographers (and comparing my photos to the pics taken by expose-ay in the same room 18 days later) I've decided that I definitely need a flash whose direction I can adjust.

Shelby in her leather catsuit

The group was very active, flogging each other and playing, so I needed to use a faster shutter speed to capture the action, but the low light required a wider aperture,
introduce a lot of noise into my pictures. The room was also very hot, as we had to keep the door closed to prevent a lot of voyeurs from hanging around, requiring frequent water breaks.

I'm an introvert who doesn't deal well with social situations. The fact that I met new people in a strange place in a strange part of town and performed an activity I'm by no means an expert on and still ended up with some half-decent photos was a major accomplishment for me. I posted a few raw images up at fetlife and was sharply criticized for my lack of proper processing and framing (not to mention lighting and everything else). I've taken their criticisms as constructive and am going through the images and carefully altering each one to a more polished version. Once I get enough together I'll put it up on Mall of Erotica as 4-Play at Aquarius.

Kitsune88 and her friends invited me to photograph them again at Aquarius a few weeks later but I ended up getting sick and couldn't attend. In my place I sent veteran photographer expose-ay, who did an excellent job and was able to process his images much faster, thus 5-Play at Aquarius is up on Mall of Erotica first.



The 4 Friends: Lylani, Shelby, Kitsune88, and French Maid

So if you're in Winnipeg/Selkirk (and area) and you'd like to get some kinky shots taken and you like my work (which will get better with practice) fill out our talent application form or contact me through this blog.

Erotic Halloween! Cast of Charmed Nude!

It's one day late, I know, but I've been busy. :)

A few days ago I caught a re-run of the TV show Charmed. I always found those girls to be really hot and several of their episodes feature very erotic scenes but sadly, no nudity.

So for my own enjoyment I've created the following image so everyone can enjoy original cast members Piper, Prue and Phoebe (aka Holly Marie Combs, Shannen Doherty, and Alyssa Milano) the way we've always wanted to see them: topless!

Happy Halloween!

Wow! Adult DVDs for Sale!

We've been quietly at work the last few weeks and our efforts have paid off. Shopkeepers can now sell physical goods at Mall of Erotica! For now we're starting out with just adult DVD's, but soon we plan to expand to all manners of adult goods, from sex toys, to used panties, and more! My personal dream of seeing Mall of Erotica become a true virtual mall is closer than ever to coming true!

As of this writing the lovely Fiona of Pink Flamingo Publications has made available two DVDs for sale:

Sybil Hawthorne & Livvy Rose: 2 Girls Tormented Together

Sybil Hawthorne and Livvy Rose share a bed in sexy retro lingerie. After undressing and a little making out, Livvy surprises Sybil with handcuffs, legcuffs, and toe and thumb cuffs. After an extended foot tickling, spanking, and paddling, Sybil is both laughing hysterically and shedding tears. Next, Livvy dons a strap-on and brings Sybil to a happy conclusion. Sybil turns the table on Livvy after donning a hot Domme outfit. Bound in stocks, Livvy gets weights clamped to her nipples and pussy lips before she is spanked, whipped and paddled. When their Master enter the scene, both girls are bound to crosses and ball-gagged. Their fronts are whipped, leaving lash marks on their tender tits, bellies, and pussies. Finally, their endurance is tested with multiple clothespins on the most tender spots. Bonus features include over 120 photos of Sybil and Livvy in a slide show and scenes from other Shadowplayers DVDs.



 

Shadowplayers - Slavegirls

Ariel endures a hogtie while her clothes are cut off, compelled orgasm, whipping, caning, being bound with duct tape, and compelled to relieve herself while cuffed to a metal cross. Melissa is stripped while her nipples are clamped and pulled, then spanked and whipped to an orgasm. She then plays with a collection of dildos and butt plugs, each one larger than the last! Claire Adams is tormented with strong clamps on her tits and very heavy weights on her pieced labia. Kitty is caned in two different sessions...an extreme caning and a caning while trying to keep her feet off painful spikes. She also gets an enema while cage and a strap-on fucking from Claire Adams.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And while writing this blog entry, Fiona has entered even more DVDs! So come check it out now and see what we have available!

 

 

First Video Script Done!

I've just completed my first draft of my first video that I am going to produce for Mall of Erotica. It's entitled The Slutification of Xanorelle and will feature the lovely Xanorelle from fetlife.

In it, the powerful superheroine Xanorelle gets lured into a trap by the devious criminal Vladimir Slutinski and is subjected to his nefarious Slutification Ray, turning her into a dancing stripper for his amusement. Will Xanorelle succumb to the mind-numbing effects of the ray and become Slutinski's slave? Will her mask come off and expose her identity to the world?

Keep checking back to find out!

Delayed Shoot

My first official fetish shoot ended up getting delayed due to problems with the studio space we were renting. Now it looks like the studio won't be available for at least a week and our foot model had gotten a pedicure over a week ago. I was unable to find us an alternate venue. All of us involved are disappointed.

I wish I had the money to rent a space in Winnipeg and convert it into a dedicated studio for kink photography/videography, but that won't be in the works for quite some time yet.

In the meantime, I've been making upgrades to the development version of Mall of Erotica to try and combat the cart abandonment issues we've been having as well as finish up some features that my shopkeepers are patiently waiting for.

The First Shoot

It's been awhile since I first started requesting Winnipeg talent at Mall of Erotica. I must admit it's been difficult to find models appropriate for the type of erotica I want to produce when I have little to no reputation in this city.

So I started attending kink events to make myself known in the city and to let their kinksters out there discover that I'm not just any weirdo with a camera that wants you to take you clothes off: I'm a weirdo with a website! :P

I've had some good model leads and I've been doing well in my photography course, so provided everything works out I'll be doing my first shoot this evening with a male foot fetishist and a female foot model. It's not paid work; the photos will be used by the foot fetishist for his profile on Fetlife and I'll hopefully get enough good photos to start my own portfolio on Fetlife and ModelMayhem.

I've taken lots of pics with of inanimate objects so I'm looking forward to working with people today, especially in a kinky setting.

Hopefully a few pics can be used on the splash page at MoE!

A Great Big Thanks to Tori Leigh!

You know who's awesome?

Tori Leigh, that's who!

Yesterday the beautiful brunette bombshell ran a little contest on Twitter. For all those that retweeted one of her tweets she would pick seven people and do a custom pic of her tits with their Twitter name written across them. Mall of Erotica was one of the lucky seven, and we now have our first "Erotic Friends" picture for the homepage:

How sweet is that? Gorgeous breasts, too!

If you aren't following Tori on Twitter you'd better do so now, because in case you didn't notice, you're missing out on a lot!

And if you're 18+ and would like to be an erotic friend of Mall of Erotica, just send us a kinky pic of you creatively displaying our name and we'll feature you and your website/Twitter link/etc. on our homepage!

Man, what a great start to the day!

On a Personal Note...

Today's entry is about some sad personal news: my father died unexpectedly in his sleep last month. He wasn't ill, there was no warning, my mother didn't even wake up until the morning to find him dead beside her. It was the first death in my family. The entire family is in shock and I've tried my best to hold everything and everyone together. Just about everything else in my life has ground to a halt while I help deal with his estate and try to wrap my head around the reality that my father isn't there anymore.

He was a very religious person and a champion of the downtrodden and abused. I'm sure he wouldn't be too happy if he had found out about Mall of Erotica, but this is where my life has lead me and as long as nobody is hurt by my site I will continue to be proud of it and develop it.

I realize that in the adult industry people are reduced to one-dimensional caricatures based on whatever fetish is the theme, but that is the nature of all entertainment; porn just has a bad reputation because of the taboo nature of sexuality. We have no problem accepting one-dimensional heroes, villains, protagonists or antagonists in mainstream media. Oddly enough, we have no problem with the stereotypical lecherous person who simply wants to have sex with as many people as possible; as long as it isn't outright porn the reduction of those actors and actresses to vapid and shallow roles is perfectly acceptable.

At the end of the day however, actors and actresses are all people like the rest of us, whether they are Oscar winners or homemade porn stars. They have hopes and dreams, beliefs and rituals. They go the bathroom, get sick, gain and lose weight, and grow old. They have loved ones enter their lives and they have loved ones leave their lives.

To all you out there in the erotica and porn community who have lost someone close like I have, my condolences. I wish you all nothing but peace and happiness in your journeys.

In the meantime I must pick up and continue along, though I have little motivation to do so. Last week the first serious female I had interested in doing modeling work backed out, which is unfortunate. I have a few good male candidates but I want to pair them up with a female to make some good femdom or erotic superheroe videos.
