Levi's fireside chat end of April!
Hola!
Since I will be taking a break I can sit down and takes lotsa notes and talk lots of back.
Avalon seemed to go over well! So I will try to replicate the effort for the other girls. 'Twas a lot of work but I've recently made some efficiencies that will make a lot of my work faster and easier thank Goooooooooood.
So first and foremost! Levi's merch store will be done May 15th. If i set a hard deadline I won't drag ass on it haha. Especially with all the free time. NOW, to explain the process a bit. Whenever I make a submission to have any of my artwork up for sale there's a small waiting period of 1-2 days. It's not annoying, but it's enough that I can't just throw up my entire catalogue and just call it a day. Plus, that would be a little overwhelming. So I'm going to try to stick to things that i personally think will do well and like.
Can I sell NSFW stuff as well? Technically yes! I can. and I will make a limited set of NSFW solo stuff available for purchase. Generally, NSFW merchandise is extremely niche and doesn't sell a whooole lot so there will be less available. But! if stuff sells on that end I will make more stuff available. I have to be a little choosy with what I go through the approval process for, I can't just take like 300 images and do that, don't have the time!
That being said, if there is a particular picture YOU would like to see for sale. Let me know! And I will see about throwing it in with what will be available.
As I stated before it will mostly be display stuff. Different types of posters, wall scrolls, things like that. Shirts, mugs, stationary blah blah. I gotta set prices and make sure the image fits on every single different iteration of whatever it's going on which is why it's so time consuming. But I have it deadset to get this done because I've been meaning to for like a fuckin' year lol. It's time. (I should mention here when it launches I will giveaway some free stuff! I haven't decided how I will do that, but it will be for you guys here.)
I am very nervous about Morrigan X Albedo because of how long it has taken. And I want to talk about here why it has taken so long, so i don't talk about it with the pack.
1) The main and primary reason, I started over. Why? Because the story felt too small, contained and too derivative of what I've done before. There are only so many ways to tell a "will they, won't they" story, but still I just didn't feel it was good enough. And it also felt too self contained. It's a shared, fun universe I've made and people exist outside of the vacuum that I create for them when I tell the stories. So I wanted and needed to expand on that.
2) My actual job has been very busy and taken a lot of my attention. I can't say exactly why, but I can say it's winding down and I've had more time for Levi lately.
3) I started learning animations. The tech is finally at a place where I think it's good enough for me to use for Levi things. There is a certain quality I needed it to be before I ventured there. And I am learning things very fast. Which is good, but also cost me a little bit of bandwidth.
So that's why. I want to stress I don't typically want to run like 3-4 months before major comic releases like this, I am hoping this is the first and also the last time this will happen. Which brings me to my next point!
I already decided that I'd let you guys choose the next comic. Just as an fyi, I already have two more comics planned I want to do as 'shorter" variants like Eugen X Asuna was. Being Cammy X Orihime, and Ada X Ruby. Because of what I have planned I don't need 100+ pages to do them, so they will come much faster. And I don't consider either of them major releases that I consider Yor X marin or Tifa X Eve was. What you will be voting on is a major release. Meaning we start fresh and go the distance with a big bombastic story! I'm excited to work on something new, but I have a problem.
I want to make available any girl that is not currently in a planned comic or had one. But that presents an issue of probably being predictable. For example; Rias Gremory. If I put her in a poll for a comic, it is an almost certainty that she will win. But she has yet to be officially paired in Levi-verse, so I technically should include her.
I hope what I'm saying makes sense? The S-tiers we'll call them, Rias, 2b , Tifa, Eve, Yor , Marin, Freiren, Chun-li. Girls that DOMINATE any kind of fanart poll. Even the Tifa X Eve comic whenever I made that poll I already knew who the winners were gonna be lmfao. Now I like how it turned out! But if every comic is just the same winners over and over it gets kinda stale.
So, I have this problem where I'm not sure wether I remove 'S-tiers' from the poll for the next comic or not. And I wanted to get a beat on the vibe of how you guys felt about that.
I guess the last thing as that I have a lot of exciting OC projects I want to do, especially animation wise! Other than the music video I don't want to announce anything until it's closer to completion. But i just wanted to assure everyone the OC girls are still a major focus and always will be!
As always with firesides. Feel free to talk about anything and everything. Comments, suggestions, things you'd like to see! (Within reason, I won't break Patreon TOS obs and there are other tos compliant things I won't do, ie futa, never never lol.)
just please be respectful! I have an incredibly low tolerance for anyone being shitty to me, or anyone else here who supports me, so just bear that in mind.
Thank you as always, for supporting me and letting me be weird and make things. <3 Let's talk!

Cannot wait for this merch store!!!!
My wallet gonna cry when that merch drop 😂
May 15th, marking that on my calendar. Very excited for the Merch store launch and excited to see the merch itself. Quick question though, if the merch store does well enough, could dakimakura’s be a possibility down the line. Very excited to see whatever it is you are planning to do with the animations. And I’m very excited to see more comic stuff with Cammy X Orihime and Ada X Ruby, and that you’re using more of the shorter comic format (I’ve been dying to see just what you’ve been cooking up with Ada and Ruby with how their mini comic ended last year) I’ve already said I agree with Justin’s idea and I don’t really have anything to add to it, so I’m gonna leave it at that. I kinda forgot to say my thoughts on the Avalon “Who I Am” pack so I’m gonna just say them here, it was phenomenal. You took what could of been a 20 panel pack with some comic panels in the beginning like the Selena pack, and turned it into something way bigger and bolder than what anybody was expecting or asking of you. It gives a ton of more insight and a better understanding of Avalon as a character for those of us who may not fully understand her, will still providing plenty of lewd stuff for us to enjoy. Also, there are more OC’s in your RP than just the main 6, now I want to learn more about them. Can’t wait to see more Who I Am packs with the rest of the OC’s I have a couple of ideas for both OC and Fanart stuff First idea is a fanart pack, as well as a dream pairing of mine, Black Cat(Marvel) and Catwoman(DC). I basically spent my entire childhood consuming superhero content, but more specifically Batman and Spider-Man content, so it should come as no surprise that Felicia Hardly and Selina Kyle are 2 of my all time favorite childhood crushes, and it would be a dream come true if you did either a yuri or a threesome pack featuring these 2. Not asking for it to be some kind of comic, not even asking for it to be Levi-verse canon(though that would be awesome), I’m simply saying that I would love to see you do something with 2 of the hottest cat burglars in fiction. Next idea applies to both fanart and OC stuff and that is that I think it would cool if you could incorporate the powers of some characters into the sex. You have done so many packs with so many characters with tons of cool powers and I think some of these powers can be incorporated into sex in cool and fun ways. It’d be a neat way to spice things up every now and then, and it would add unique and distinctive value to specific pairings. You wouldn’t have to stress about doing this in every pack, not all powers can be incorporated into sex and obviously not all characters have any powers to begin with, but I do think this would be a fun to do from time to time. (I would give some ideas/examples of what I’m talking about but I’m currently typing this at work and I have a lot of ideas, so maybe if this idea sounds intriguing to you, perhaps I’ll just DM some of my ideas to you sometime later) Last idea is for some fun SFW OC pinups. Do you think you could do the the OC girls in Sisters of Battle armor(this would make the Warhammer 40k fan in me very happy) Lastly I just want to tell you some potentially very exciting news. 2 days ago it was revealed that the survival horror masterpiece Alien Isolation is finally getting a sequel after 12 years. (Don’t know if you played Alien Isolation, but I know you’ve played and enjoyed survival horror games like The RE games and Dead Space, so I figured I’d put this on your radar just in case) That’s all I have to say, stay well and hope you have fun at the concert ❤️
I say remove the "S-tiers" as you call them, and give other characters a time to shine. Looks like a lot of awesome things in the pipeline. Don't stress over delaying things, if you are working on other stuff that benefits the whole Levi verse. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for the others OC girls.
Levi yuri mugs?? 🤔🤔
Tbh. When it comes to the S-tier removal or not. I think it should be 50/50. As in two polls, one for “which S-tier girl that clearly isn’t in a relationship” and “non S-tier girl” That way you “give people what they want” with out two clear favourites dominating each and every time. And I guess you could also have a “runner up” prize where they too get comic considerations if the voting is neck and neck or something to that extent ;) But weren’t there also other some couples that were part of an older list you had planned when TxE wasn’t even a thought? I take it those are still on your list of comics that are going to be done? ——— It’s great to hear that the store will be shipping internationally as well :D that makes me prepared to buy some stuff ^.^ when the doors open up for business ;)
Feel like there’s a lot to unpack here: The store, will it have international shipping? Since I’m not from the US it’s hard to purchase but I do wish you all the best with it The comic: that picture without context you released some weeks ago with Eve, Morrigan and a 3rd girl has me intrigued. Waiting for the release , I bet it’s gonna be just as amazing as any of your previous comics Polls: I agree with what Justin said, maybe make a poll to pair them up with someone. I would maybe remove some of the “S Tier”, just add 1 or 2 of them to every poll. Btw the pairs you published some time ago with the waterfall background, ie Ahri and Kai’sa, will those be included in the poll? And enjoy your time off! Take some well deserved rest
The merchandise will be through redbubble, who do indeed ship internationally. :) And I'm coming around to the idea of it. Generally I run it as one single poll, top two winners are paired together. If I run one poll with "s tiers" included, and one WITHOUT, that should at least making the pairing itself less predictable and more interesting and could be a good middle ground.
I'm very much on board with removing the "S-tiers" from the poll so more characters you would like to see can have the lime light. Also, wait, how is Futa against tos??
Futa is NOT against the TOS, I was specifically saying there are Tos COMPLIANT things I won't do, like futa haha.
Perhaps with the S tiers, if they aren't already paired like Rías or 2B, you could do a poll of who to pair her with rather than include her in a poll. You know you want to do something with her and pair her up, so it's just a matter of who with.
Agree with this
