Maybe I should have given you straight a "Damn I'm truly sorry, but I wasn't able to make it on time!" maybe I should not even have tried to make it on time since I don't care about my "fans"
I'm kind of saddened... I've been busting my ass for days on end, working every night on this damn comics till 4 or 5h in the morning just to get it out for you... On my last day on Friday I've pushed till 6am not even sleeping, then packing my luggage late, went to work, yeah I could have stayed home instead of going to work, I have my own business, nobody's forcing me to go. My clients are just like my fans, but according to your own logic, I don't respect them either apparently... After a few meetings, quickly rushing to the airport, making sure to be on time, and off you go for a 26h trip.
So yeah, sorry as hard as I pushed, I believe till the end that I could make it on time but there's still a few more hours to put in the rendering, hours that I can only spend on my machine at home.
I'm the first one to be disappointed, I've worked all that hard for nothing, since I can't get this damn chapter out right now!
The only positive side to this is that both I and Mpgrey will have a couple more weeks to finish the editing and polish the text.
Nothing more I can do than posting a few more pictures to soothe your wait...
Not all who support you comment. I am sure majority of us wait silently while supporting. Do not be too upset. Nonetheless, Nice pictures and looking forward to april. Thanks for all the hardwork.
ReplyDeleteSo no one dared to write something after complaining so much in the previous post ? well then.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if the people that wrote "where update" are new here but consider this... well no, everything is already explained in Shinras statement. It was common sense that he couldn't write a status because he was too busy. And to proof that he cares for his work and for the fan base, at least the ones that can appreciate what a mammoth work he has to deal with, for each chapter, he didn't just write sorry didn't make it, he wrote a damn text with pics, he always does that.
Shinra I'm sorry that it didn't work out considering the time and effort you put into this, time is a bitch. Thank you for the update and I am enraptured that you give the order of Kael and Faye more screen time. And I am enraptured by the fact that you use more angel like looking characters as seen in this post.
Thank you for your new Shinra hoping that yours travel goes well.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm the guy who wrote: "I don't think Shinra gets off teasing us, but it is frustrating for him to say he would update us before his trip only to leave us hanging..." and I do want to apologize Shinra. I didn't realize just how massive the time commitment was and I commented far out of turn. Thank you for all the work you've put in and hopefully you find some time on your trip to relax, sit back with a drink or what have you :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, Chloe Grace Moretz Angel FTW!
Thanks for "manning up" and coming forth like that...it takes a real man/woman to admit something like that... i know you are posting "anonymously" but i appreciate a poster such as you all the same....i upload things all the time on my blog, and youtube, an i get a lot of comments like "when are you gonna post more"? but speaking as a fellow erotic/corruption/possession/mind control uploader, you do have a life, and many people only see what you have done (your uploading work) and not the fact that you have to actually work to pay bills.....but again i know that many comments are out of frustration of appreciation of looking for the next upload, and so on... THEANTJACK
DeleteVery good Five images to almost complete all your GREAT, GREAT and AWESOME work, Shinra.
ReplyDeletePass of all those fakes comments and firstly live your own life and after this comic.
At least my intention with my words, is that you have to enjoy of your live, family and of course these GREATS AND AWESOME COMICS (ALL)
Hey Shinra. Have a good trip. Thanks for all your hard work!
ReplyDeleteTake as long as you need. Your comics are worth waiting for!
ReplyDeleteThere are two aspects to the stupid comments under ur last blogpost:
ReplyDelete1) Ur fans love ur comics! They love them that much that they feel actual pain if they have to wait longer for a release. From my opinion u are by far the best creator of comics in this genre (Sorry BlackPharao, Cantraps, Galford and Genyun, I love ur comics too [to not imply a further ranking a put u in alphabetic order xD]).
2) People who comment like that are selfish and childish. They can not wait. They just want the comics and they don't care about the creators nor respect them. Don't let it bring u down. My biggest fear is that one day u loose interest and joy in making these comics because of f***king trolls.
Keep up ur awesome work. Enjoy ur trip whereever u are. I will be ur fan till the end of time :D. And of course thank u Mpgrey. It's nice to have u too.
Cheers (Uwe W)
Hehe, I'm in complete agreement, Shinra is the master.
DeleteSorry~ Shinra
ReplyDeleteI still hold that majority of people who are on your blog are perfectly fine waiting and don't complain.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of that, thank you for all the hard work that you've put into making your comics Shinra! Don't be disappointed by the acts of a few grown children, their behavior is sadly the world we live in today.
I hope that your trip is a safe and good one, and whenever you release your comic is when I'll be happy to read it, regardless of whether it's in a month or six months.
Just keep up the good work Shinra! :)
I'm a fan for four years mate, I'm fine waiting. Take your time, looking forward to the release.
ReplyDeletePlease don't strain yourself over a hobby.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update and enjoy the trip. Have a break. I'm happy to wait for such great work.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should rest a while and make an end to this comic. People will always be asking for more and more and it's ok, you have a good comic but if the work take more of you, then i's not happy. Thank Shinra for the update and enjoy the life.
ReplyDeleteJust be well, with yourself and the world. Don't succumb to the pressure of life, or the pressure of assholes entitled to a free work, without thinking that you (and mpgrey) have lives too.
ReplyDeleteJust. Be. You. Big hug from Chile and keep doing an amazing job, in this area and your life. :)
I've learned in my own experience, it's better to not rush because that is when mistakes usually occur, plus it's no longer enjoyable as a hobby if you're stressed out. As you have experienced also.
ReplyDeleteSo you should take whatever time you need.
You take your time and tell anyone who moans to bugger off!!! its your creation, your time and your comic. I look forward to it when YOU are ready to publish,
ReplyDeleteIgnore the whiners Shinra. These images are more than we expected considering how hard and long you and mpgrey have worked at this whole second half of the chapter. Thank you so much for all your hard work once again and remember, never feel guilty about taking a break from it!!! You are the one doing us a favor making and sharing these wonderful corruption comics, so if ever pressure from comments gets to you, give yourself space to come back with the wonder of creating rather than the somber exhaustion of sisyphus. I'm sure it's gonna be awesome, and I for one, hope that Harriet Cooper 4 or Dark Queen is next after!! Cheers mate!! :)
ReplyDeleteHey Shinra, thanks for the update! Don't worry yourself silly; rushing things and forcing creativity will never work. I am sure the last thing everyone here wants is for you to burn out and never want to return to making content ever again, so please take care of yourself first, and ignore those who barrage you with demands on new releases. It will be ready when it's ready.
ReplyDeleteI'm with the others, a fan since the beginning, and I believe you have lots of fans who are just not very vocal. Maybe we should be more supportive and active in countering the detractors.
ReplyDeleteI know what it's like too to have a life and a career and have people still making demands on your free time. Take as long as you need, we'll wait. No one give Martin Scorsese crap because his films take a long time.
hey man, it's a few weeks away. we've waited this long, that isn't that bad!
ReplyDeletebut i do hope it ends with some GREAT corruption!!
Glad to see everyone coming to support our man.
ReplyDeleteSide question. Will mariahs double dick still be happening? Will we also get to see Valars corruption process?
As usual, thank you and mp for the work
Mariah double futa had to be pushed back a little but will appear early in next chapter.
DeleteValar's corruption is definitely in this release ;)
Since you are rendering maybe we can get just a picture, like a peek at the next chapter with mariahs double toys. The scene would still be in the next. Nonetheless still looking forward to what you have installed. April has to come quicker
DeleteMariah's red-fur lower legs with hoof are the best, so are her purple skin and red hair. I deeply miss her old form.
DeleteShe can have two dicks. Horizontally, have two girls to suck them. Vertically, fill two holes. She can transform by her own willingness: one dick, two dick(horizontal or vertical), and with/without balls.
It's pitiful to see that her only corruption on a male was disrupted. I want to see she corrupt males even by raping them with her dicks. That will make her a good devil.
Thanks Shinra, for everything you do. I love your work and appreciate the time it takes to create the art that you do. I'm a long time follower who also HAS THEIR OWN LIFE, so I appreciate that you have yours. Don't listen to the trolls and the impatient idiots who post on here being rude and unappreciative. Your real fans will always appreciate the time it takes for you to do what you do. Enjoy your trip and, be safe and be well. Your fans will be here when you get back.
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip shinra!
ReplyDelete-fake MP & G9 supports you ^_^
Dear Shinra.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing a tremendous job. Hell, i even aplaud you, as you tried you've best and hoped for pushing it out before you went traveling. To be honest - i'm starving for the second part of this chapter. BUT, i can only try to grasp and comprehend the enormous amount of work you put into it. And that is only speaking about all these comics you're putting out, the fact that you have a job as well and that you have a family to take care of. Let us all just take a moment and congratulate you on what you're doing. Your comics are just friggin' AWESOME, with all due respect to other corruption comics creators out there.
So, to wrap up - Take your time. I, for one, am more than ready to wait for another couple of weeks for you to return from your trip and then finishing up this chapter. It is sort of cliché, but don't let some whiners and trolls get you down. I hope that you'll get all the job done on your trip and after all that - you'll have new energy and vigour to dive into this chapter and finish it and deliver us the masterpiece you've been creating.
Take care and enjoy your trip. ;-)
I didn't even know there was supposed to be a deadline. I thought it was just going to be done when it's done.
ReplyDeleteThat is obviously the case, but with the knowledge that Shinra would be away from home for almost the entire month of March, there was a natural drive (both from the fans and from us) to have it done and online before that happened. It was always going to be really close if it could be achieved or not, but it remains a shame that we're now sitting with a chapter that is really, really close to completion...but not all the way.
DeleteOn the flip side (Shinra mentions it above as well), there is now no danger of the last bits getting rushed. As an example, a whole scene was scrapped just to save time to make this self-inflicted deadline. With all the rushing now out of the way, the chapter can be fully released as intended.
Which scene was scrapped?
DeleteSince its to be completed in April now. Can't you guys delay the comic a little longer and add the scene back in? I am sure most of us are willing to wait a little longer for a scene than wait for it the next chapter
DeleteThat's what I meant with releasing as intended. Now that it's not a matter of getting it ready before this "deadline" anymore, this scrapped scene will definitely be added to the chapter as originally planned.
DeleteAny chance to bring forward that double futa mariah scene? ;).
DeleteShinra, you are a great man, for sharing your glorious work. I am sorry to see that what started as a passion project is now putting much pressure and stress on you.
ReplyDeleteI know what it's like to have something you enjoy turn in a stressful project, with tight deadlines. Takes all the fun out of it.
So don't EVER worry about the people complaining about YOUR time and dedication. They don't know what it's like to work on something for free. We, the silent majority, understand you and (should) know that you don't owe us anything, since we're not paying anything.
It's done when it's done, and we'll love anyway.
Cheers man, and take care. Best of luck.
Travel safe and get some rest.
ReplyDeleteQuality work does take time, and I know that.
your work is worth the wait your amazing !!! take all the time you need !!! good work is worth the wait !!! thank you for all that you have done over the years
ReplyDeleteYeiiiiihhhhhhh!!! 5 new images! May I ask who are the almost illegally underage seraph like blonde girls? They look corruptible.
ReplyDeleteHi Shinra, never commented before but as with many of your fans have loved your work from the beginning. I will admit to not reading everyone’s comments but please, please, please ignore all of the haters and negative people your work is brilliant and if they’re unable to wait for the next update patiently then to hell with them. Please take your time and only release the new chapters when you are ready and not before as I have said I have loved your work from the start and would hate to see it destroyed by rushing. Many thanks for the update and new pics and enjoy your trip!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your work, and don't care about stupid comments... Of course you have your own life to live. (I love this comic, but also Harriet Cooper... I'm going mad waiting for fourth chapter, I hope to see Minea falling)
ReplyDeleteI've seen many questions aboute mariah duble futa what is ment by that? Her good duble or whaT?
ReplyDeleteIt's done when it's done, if anyone complains they can bugger off. Good luck on your travels, your effort is appreciated.
ReplyDeleteVengerberk
I think everybody get the message and will wait silently for the final delivery.
ReplyDeleteContinue it will be finish soon.
Thank you again Shinra for what you are doing, take your time.
ReplyDeleteI have a question tell you that captain Valar will definitively be corrupted, is she going to change appearance?
Ignore the trolls- unfortunate truth, non trolls will always be terrible at posting positive messages- you had 1700+ downloads, a few (hundred) crappy comments can be safely ignored.
ReplyDeleteI can only speak for myself but I do suspect that many feel the same way. It isn't that you didn't finish before your trip that caused frustration, Shinra. It was the lack of communication. A simple "Sorry folks but I couldn't finish before my trip" right before packing would have stemmed days of frustration afterwards. I realize that you are hard on yourself so making a post announcing that you missed an artificial deadline is difficult but it has to be better than reading through days worth of frustration posts. I love your work and I want you to take the time to make it the best you can. I just think that more frequent, tiny posts of communication could help keep all of us on board.
ReplyDeleteBut it's this "frustration" that is actually quite unfair. Even if Shinra HAD managed to get all the planned rendering done before leaving, the chapter would very likely still haven't been online even by today! Some people seem to have misinterpreted that finishing the pictures equals finishing the chapter.
DeleteYou make it seem as if everyone was canceling all their appointments in order to be able to enjoy the chapter right off the bat, and that they're now "frustrated" that that was all for nothing.
There was always going to be more work to be done first.
Of course you will be notified when there is a clear release date. We always do that, don't we? Until that happens, you really don't need to be expecting that chapter popping up suddenly out of nowhere.
And also in this particular case, Shinra DID plan to make an update post right before leaving, but he didn't know what to write: he contacted me to discuss if we should release the chapter with the current pictures after all, or if it's better to wait. We agreed that we prefer to wait, but that was only after I was able to reply to his message. Different timezones, you know.
In short, don't be too hasty coming up with conclusions and accusations if you don't know the full story. That's the main reason for the annoyed tone in Shinra's opening post.
I do agree with you that it couldn't hurt to see more frequent, tiny posts of communication. But we'll all have to swallow it and be patient like good boys and girls even if we aren't getting updates.
The frustration may be unfair but it is also quite human and predictable. Neither of you owe any of us anything and I think we agree upon that. Still, Shinra would have saved himself quite a bit of grief by making a short update post before leaving instead of waiting three days after the travel date. Good communication isn't just for us; it also benefits you two by keeping the predictable frustration at bay.
DeleteIf we are to be "good boys and girls" in learning a lesson about patience, perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea if you two would be introspective about the idea of changing your communication strategies for your own benefit.
Releasing the current pictures do still sound good tho. I was never a fan of releasing the thing as a whole concept. Even if Shinra did upload by batches over a course of a few months and scenes get interrupted i personally don't mind. As for those who want to read it as a whole they can wait for it to be fully released. Its a win-win situation.
DeletePeople who can't wait read first, and people who can or choose to wait can wait for the full upload. This way you can minimize the amount of people expressing their frustrations (be it justified or unjustified), its just not nice to read mean comments. If you are worried about how people would judge the comic and its quality, i doubt it would even change a thing, Shinra has been doing this for years and people know what to expect, no one is going to give his work a low rating just because he uploaded a few pictures instead of the full comic.
Name it however you want, chapter 9.25 or whatever, i always see a potential to break the chapter into many parts in the past chapters. 500 pages is a huge count, compared to the first few chapters up to 200. It felt like Shinra was combining chapters into 1 and doing a double release.
If the idea of uploading what is done is still in the air, i would very much like to see it in its current state. If not, you guys do your thing at your own pace and thank you for all the hard work that is being put into this.
Okay, Anonymous. Shinra-Kun owes you a living, and no one's disputing that. He should be waiting on you hand and foot and begging your kind indulgence so that your wrath shall not flare up to destroy him and his kin.
DeleteSeriously, Anon, who the do you think you are? He's doing this for free. What've you done for me for free? Fuck all, that's what.
And what more have you done for any one of us replying to some anon poster 2 weeks later? That's right, nothing as well, its people like you that post shit, giving Shinra unnecessary stress, the comments section used to be people discussing about theories, now its just angsty people flaming slightly more patient angsty people. The dudes comment wasn't even the most disrespectful comment around lmao and you pick on him? Honestly, please tell us how much you have done for any one of us that someone else can't voice their opinion if you don't agree with it?
DeleteDon't worry shinra-kun. For me, you don't need to justify. You have a life too. Your comics are free, you don't sell your work, you are free to have a life, fuck the trolls and continue your amazing comics.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan of you since the beginning and you have my sincere support.
Good continution in your work.
Yamiken
hey shinra-kun，I am the guy who translated your comic into chinese，I hope more chinese people could read your amazing story.the story makes me crazy，who will win the final fight？the moter of all，or the devil？infact，I want to see star dust become the ture queen of darkness，not devils puppy.
ReplyDeletewhat I want to say is its an honor to find your comic ，nice job，
and May the Darkside serve you well
Hi，孙立恒，you say you translated Shinra-kun's comic into chinese ? Are you really talking? If it is true, I hope I can connect with you.
Deleteyeah，just part one ，you could find it on exhentai
DeleteThank you for your answer! Do you have plans to continue translating other chapters?
DeleteSince its a month away, could we at least get half of the completed pages as part 2, then when everything is done we can have it as part 3? I feel that its quite a waste to have 90% of the completed pages put on hold just because the 10% cannot be worked on right now. I am a huge fan of your work for many years now but one thing i always wonder is why not publish what you already have?
ReplyDeleteNo we cant
DeleteHere's a thought...learn how to be patient
Here's a thought, just because someone can wait, does not mean someone has to be waiting unnecessarily. Ever thought about that? I'm a fan of his work, but not a fan of how he releases his work, the pages he has now are enough to be a mini chapter, i feel like in his recent chapters we're waiting for multiple chapters.
DeleteSome of the most recently made pictures are for new pages in the opening scene. I haven't had the chance to work on those yet because Shinra appears to have problems getting the correct software installed on his laptop.
DeleteNo scene of the chapter is currently 100% fixed and ready. Just be patient for a little while longer. You have been waiting for a great many months already; a few more weeks won't kill you.
Well i guess it can't be helped if not all the scenes are done. My point was based on you guys having completed scenes just lying around. All the best.
DeleteHi Shinra, another long way fan telling you your work is amazing.
ReplyDeleteAs you said, here is like in the professional world, people speak usually more when it's about negative points than about positives one's...because when people are satisfied they rarely say it...
Don't worry as you can see you have a powerful silent fan group waking up now...
Maybe in some days...or week it could be also great that you take some holidays...i think everyone agrees with me...you deserve!
And again thanks for your work ;)
Shinra, I haven't commented on these posts in a while, but please know that your work will always be appreciated, regardless of how long it takes you to put it out. You're pretty much one of the only artists left in this niche and I've been following you since Fallen Star Chapter 4 so many years ago. I don't mind the wait and I've gotten used to it. Your personal life and well-being is by far more important. Please don't let the ungrateful fans get to you and ruin your morale or motivation. Your true fans are here, and will stay by you.
ReplyDeleteI'm soon gonna be making more money by taking on an extra job, I'll remember to donate to you now that I have some extra spending money. Keep up the great work man, all hail the king of corruption!
You need to pull up your big boy pants if you're going to use the internet. You don't owe anybody anything in terms of deadlines or content, but throwing a temper tantrum isn't helping either. If you can't handle a vocal minority being shitty, you should probably pack up shop and move on.
ReplyDeleteWas that comment truly needed? I would like to see 99% of his fans create anything close to what shinra does. we have to wait for his work because he wants to do it right. compare his early work to what we receive now. he's one man doing a lot of work and he himself would love to give his audience what they want and that creates a lot of pressure on him. I wouldn't be surprised if he takes a break from us after finishing this project.
Deleteon a side note most of the comments he recieves are badgering or negative which doesn't represent us as a community but it's what he see's a lot because the negatives always post whereas the pro's give him praise far less.
keep up the good work shinra.
I don't see how talent has anything to do with crying because of mean comments on the internet. If you can't handle people with anonymity being rude, you should probably either disable comments or not read them. Complaining about unpleasant comments is some of most banal tilting at windmills you can throw into text.
DeleteThat may be so, but it's really a stretch to call the opening post "crying". You're now making as much of that post as you claim Shinra is making of those rude anonymous posts. He says "I'm saddened" and then goes on explaining why that is. That's all.
DeleteAnd is it really so weird or wrong to want to defend yourself against baseless claims of not caring about the readers while knowing that you actually went out of your way to get something ready for these same readers?
He should just let himself be the punching bag for all sorts of ignorant nonsense, and when he reveals what really went on behind the scenes, this is called "crying" and he'd better disable comments because he can't handle this?
Aren't you being just a little unfair now?
Hi Anon, please bugger off. Clearly you aren't a creative and have absolutely no idea how much work goes into this stuff.
DeleteThe internet is so toxic. Honestly shinra you should take a break after this project. Make a post saying you are putting the hobby down for a while. You can then either work at your own pace or actually take a break but you deserve one.
ReplyDelete96% woohoo. Go Shinra (and associates) go! Look forward to the final product and don't be so hard on yourself Shinra. Not like you are getting paid for this. Us plebians who await this demwnted form of entertainment can wait a bit longer...
ReplyDeleteStill hoping Shinra opens a Patreon someday, so people that would like to consistently support his work have that option. It hasnt stopped me from donating in the past though! Looking forward to your future works!
ReplyDeleteIs there a chance that Karin will be seen in this chapter or is she done for the moment ?
ReplyDeleteThe best answer to give here is that she will probably show up.
DeleteHello there Shinra. Hope your trip is going well and hopefuly you'll give us what we crave as soon as you'll be able and feeling to do it. Take care!
ReplyDeleteAre there any updates for us? How are the edits coming along, do we only have to wait for the extra renders? Hope you are coping well as well Shinra.
ReplyDeleteI just went back to check when his trip ends; he said it will last until the end of march. So the first or second week of april should be a reasonable guess on the release.
DeleteBecause there is still at least one full scene yet to be rendered plus some clean up renders and copy editing to be done, I'd put mid April as my best guess.
DeleteYes, that's more or less what's left. Text editing is done for all the current pages. That additional (short) scene needs to be made as well as some new pictures here and there. Some to let the story make more sense and some to make a scene more interesting.
DeleteI hope that you are fine everything them two. It means that there is around thirty images more the text which remain to make? All the best.
DeleteSo, realisticaly speaking, the release of this part is around 20-ish april, considering all the necessary renderings And editings to be done, as well as uploading it - right?
DeleteA lot depends on the available time Shinra has after returning home obviously. Some of the new pictures we're talking about are pretty simple to make. Other pics simply need to get a photoshop treatment. It's difficult to estimate exactly how much work we're talking about.
DeleteSure, it all depends on shinra And his available time. That's why I posted around 20-ish of april. If it will be done sooner, even better. If it will be done later, then that is pretty fine by me - when it gets done, it'll be done. :-)
DeleteMore silent majority here. Will relish the fuck out of this, whenever it is released. Please take all the time you need and let the hate and angst just blow by you. I much prefer the long game, where there are delays but your passion doesn’t get ground to dust by strident demands and excess effort spent trying to meet them. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteIt would be nice to have an release for the weekend of Easter. Attention I do not put the pressure to whoever it is. It is just a thought as an other one. On no account a command, that will take time that that will take.
ReplyDeletei saw someone mentioning Valar in some comments above. i honestly dont remember what character that was. can someone remind me??
ReplyDeleteThe blue haired chick you see above
DeleteI have this bad feeling that the new twin angel reveal is going to end up being a teaser for corruption in the next chapter like Valar was in the previous chapter. Shinra can be devious that way. Heck, HC3 was one big Minea tease.
DeleteANNND what happens if you corrupted it? It became dark angel that lives only to have sex cuz it's all about sex hehehehehehe.
Deletei am hungry , can you release for today?
ReplyDeletelol
DeleteWell first off, I am not a vocal fan and I just found your comic around 6 months ago. It is really good in both the story and artistic department.
ReplyDeleteSecond, ignore the complaints. As a fellow artist that quit because of complaints and a feminist group seeking to shut down my domain, I unfortunately understand about trolls. They will do what ever they think they can legally get away with to harass you. Just ignore them.
I however do have a question and a word of advice. Why do you keep the chapters so large instead of parting them out? Is this because the rendering has to be done across the whole project? Or is it just preference. Either way its your choice, I was more curious than anything.
My advice is this, find another system other than paypal. I just tried to donate and paypal declined me. They claim it was my bank, but my bank says the transaction never even made it to them to decline. One has to wonder how many others have been declined and became frustrated because of it.
Dude, it's awful that you had to quit because you were harassed. That's one of my biggest fears, I hope you've find a new voice and somewhere to share your work.
DeleteIt has almost been 3 weeks since the supposed release though? How long more is it going to take? I thought it was essentially completed except that it needs to be uploaded?
ReplyDeleteIt was delayed cause it was never completed. Shinra is on his way back home on the 30th and will probably be home and ready to work on the 3rd onwards. From then the remaining work has to be done and we can all hope for a release during that weekend
DeleteThough i do wish we can have more pictures to help us tide over the last few days/week. Hopefully Shinra communicates more with us
DeleteWhile it would be nice to get another preview this weekend, we really shouldn't expect it. Shinra's precedent right before release time is to be silent here until the final draft is finished. We probably won't get an indication of anything from him until the progress bar moves to 98 or 99% which means the upload is coming.
DeleteI will do the updating if there is anything relevant to report. For now, all I can say is that we worked out exactly what pictures still need to be made.
DeleteShinra wants this chapter out in the open as much as any one of you, so he'll definitely be busy with it whenever he can.
Don't expect another preview, though.
Thank you for your information MPgrey. I hope that the boss returned well of his journey. Shinra takes your time, I am not by a few weeks for the liberation. A quality work than a slapdash job is better. Sign an anonymous fan.
DeletePay him as a customer instead of donating, and you'll be entitled to crack your Pharonic whip over his back and insist that he make bricks without straw.
DeleteOh, right... he's doing this for free. Any monies he receives are donations that do not confer an obligation to deliver his work when and where the contract (that does not exist) specifies it should be delivered.
Have you no shame?
Shinra, please don't let anyone rush you into finishing this before you think it's ready. You are an artist, and for artists, once they have food in their bellies and roofs over their heads, the quality of their work takes precedence over all else.
ReplyDeleteMuch respect, and keep doing what you're doing!
Please ignore the sounds of fapping in the background LOL
News? Please...
ReplyDeleteNews is that we will receive this release in 2019. ^^
ReplyDeleteAh! It is an April fool lol.
DeleteNews...
ReplyDeleteI'm finally back from overseas where Mpgrey and I pretty much finished everything which is text related. I'm now working on all the last few render reworks and I've done a third of it already.
Delivery is getting closer...
Can't wait for the next few days!
DeleteGlad to hear that you're back safe and sound from your trip, hope that it went well for you!

Delete....not April fool right ? ><"
DeleteGood to hear all is well, Shinra.
DeleteIt's good to make everything sexy, happy, honest and powerful. It's bad to make anything ugly, sad, hypocritical or weak.
DeleteYour demon uses his dick, not a sword, thunders, illness, terror or disasters, to enlighten, sexualize and empower so many: it's so good.
Puberty means you become more powerful by sexualization. Sexualization is a blessing, not a curse.
If the demon hadn't done those stupid deception and incitement of killing, he would have been an angel of sex. A very good angle use fucking and drugs to sexualize the planet.
It's so warm to see that he fucks and persuades the dumped poor Leto.
I am satisfied with your return, I hope that that it passed well. It means that the chapter is going to be released the next weekend?
ReplyDeleteIt will release when it's ready.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your information Shinra. How are you? Stays in you t-il many images and pages in retouched? Courage, the finishing line is in sight. Thanks to you and those who help you for this comics.
ReplyDeleteAn extra 10,000 Karma points for both Shinra and mpgrey if you can get it done before my birthday on april 12th, lol.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back!
ReplyDeleteMp could you update us like before when the final checks are done and all thats left is for Shinra to upload? Many thanks :)
ReplyDeleteNaturally. I'll report when there is something to report. Right now, there is nothing to report.
DeleteJust curious. Is there really only a few hours of rendering left or were there more stuff render?
DeleteWell, I'd say all the rendering is a little more than "only a few hours". If it were that easy, these comics wouldn't take many months to make, right?
DeleteWell to be fair, Shinra literally said few hours of rendering. I was just curious if that was under the circumstance scenes were scrapped and currently they are added back.
DeleteRegardless i mean no intention to rush. Hope to hear from either you or Shinra soon regarding the release, even if its just the current progress.
IT WILL BE READY WHEN IT IS READY!
ReplyDeleteTell me that to post you something this weekend, please Shinra....
ReplyDeleteUpload this weekend? I hope so.
ReplyDeleteman give the artist a break. It will be done when the artist says it will be. pestering the artist will only stress Shinra-kun out.
ReplyDeleteI doubt that Shinra even pays attention here when in crunch time. That's why mpgrey does all of the responding. All is hinging on that one new scene now. If shinra has to create new assets for it (like a transformation scene) then even a short scene may take weeks. If it's all existing assets, then it might just be days. We just don't know and I doubt that mgprey is going to give us any clues.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen te scene yet, so I don't know everything about it, but it should be just a small story addition of just a few pages that will probably function as a little cliffhanger of sorts.
DeleteIt shouldn't be something that is tough to make or anything.
pretty sure it's an april's fool joke
ReplyDeleteI hope that our favorite artist is fine. All the best for the last works which you have, the images that you posted are beautiful qualities it tempts to see the chapitre.lol.
ReplyDeleteI have a question to you or to MPgrey. Some times ago you explained that you want to return chapters by shorter pieces and more often (as Blackpharaoh and Cantraps). It does not ask t-il for no more work in the structure of the chapter?
This is not a question that I can answer because I'm in the same boat and also think the chapters could be shorter than they currently are.
DeleteThe whole idea behind big chapters is that each installment contains a balanced combination of various juicy scenes and story segments. Shinra has a certain idea about how these balanced chapters of his story should look and sticks to that, no matter how big the end result becomes. Chapter 8 was released in 3 parts and chapter 9 will be released in two parts because he foresaw that the chapters as a whole would become simply too big.
To be honest, I actually have no idea why these parts couldn't simply be their own chapters (so that you would currently be waiting for chapter 12 to be finished). But admittedly, even that wouldn't be solving the problem of the big chapters; it would simply be changing some numbers.
I think that releasing smaller chapters would definitely be better for various reasons. We would keep the reader hooked more easily and keep them aware of the story better. There would be more of a constant buzz about a new part coming up compared to how it's now with a lull of many months.
But most importantly, each scene would get a better chance to stand out. We'll be dropping 300+ pages on you all at once. Most of you will read it in its entirety, and that reduces the impact that each specific scene can have on you compared to how each juicy scene would otherwise be its own climax of the particular small chapter. Getting too much at once has a bigger chance to make a blur of all that you're reading.
I too would say it's much more preferable to make releases of about a hundred pages for each installment. You would still be getting a good chunk of pages that will feel worthwhile and satisfying, the waiting time would be greatly reduced, and therefore it's easier for more readers to keep track of the whole story and feel connected to it.
It could be food for thought for a possible story after Fallen Star is done. I can imagine Shinra wants to finish the final parts of this huge story in the way he had it planned from the start.
Thank you for your long answer, I understood well your message. Girl private conversation, how goes G9, I noticed that he had had a break. It put t-il the suite of Gaia in danger? Have you news of the boss concerning a possible liberation? In everything the cases thanks to you two for all that you make. Good luck and thank you again moments taken on your spare time.
Delete'''
DeleteI say, we better stick to the old ways, finishing a product fully will make it easier to refactor/revert and improve, if you publish something at a small scale and at some point you want to scrap it, you can't. that I think is a design problem in most artist like blackpharaoh or cantraps.
ganbatte shinra >_< ! ! fake mp loves you ! :)
'''
I would have preferred to have an answer of Mpgrey not of the mp troll.lol.
Delete@anonymous
DeleteG9 is doing fine and there is no danger for the future of Gaia. In fact, I have seen many new pages since he announced his temporary hiatus. His available time is still pretty unstable, though. The situation of his real life work is starting to look better, so maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
@my long lost evil twin brother
It doesn't have to be a design problem as long as the story is completely planned and worked out in advance. G9MPcomics is terrible at planning ahead and that is why we won't attempt smaller chapters. For Shinra, it would certainly be possible and doable. Even though I help him improve scenes, they're all changes within the scenes themselves. I don't change any outcomes or anything important like that, so it would be possible to release a smaller number of scenes as smaller chapters without coming to regret that we can't change it anymore after release.
In the end, though, each artist should simply release their work in their own preferred way. We all get the best results if they can do what they're comfortable with.
I do agree with fake mp though ... seeing the big picture helps to improve things here and there.
DeleteHi Shinra, is it possible to get some news? Current status on render or are you busy with life at the moment?
ReplyDeleteWow... just dropped by after realizing it's been 2 years since the last comic to see what's up. Glad it's still being worked on. Just hope we get to see the ending to this story one day.
ReplyDeleteOne thing for Shinra and Mpgrey to look forward to is when all these haters and their comments about it being inexcusable for Shinra to be late on a free comic he willingly provides to us when he could either shelve or stick behind a paywall (beyond ridiculous, really, though I too am salivating over the next installment at this point), is when all their comments and those who were NOT hateful or rude turn to glowing praise over the superb quality of this stellar series. :)
DeleteI know that Shinra does this for free, but he also has a Paypal link for those that wish to donate to him. I’ve donated to him in the past and will most likely do so in the future. It would behoove Shinra to at least look into setting up a Patreon page for his fans. He could still release his content for free, but set up tiers for those that do wish to support him. It would also create a platform where he could release in-progress works as well as a place for the fans to communicate with him and each other.
ReplyDeletePatreons also bring responsibility and deadlines, and I think Shinra rather just does this in his free time and not have to worry about this stuff.
DeleteThere might be an extra option. I've been setting up a Patreon for some time (likely launches next month) with work that's very much in line with Shinra's themes (and in very high quality and absolutely free). One of my goals is to, at some point, be able to invite other artists who are also working on longer comics and unite on a shared platform. Maybe he'd like to join in on something like that one day.
V.
Yes, it is true that Shinra would have an extra responsibility of setting up some kind of reward for those that did wish to support him monetarily. Even if it was something minor, it’s still something extra he would have to do. Maybe the PayPal option is just easier for him right now. I do wish that once this next chapter is released, he starts taking a different approach to content updates/releases. Having to wait over an entire calendar year is a bit much for people. He did mention in a different blog post that that is something he would be looking into, so we’ll see.
DeleteOn a side note, I am very interested in the project that you are working on. Do you have anything finished and ready for release? The prospect sounds quite promising!
I've got literally thousands of unreleashed renders lying around, but everytime I've given out samples my skills jumped ahead so fast that the old renders felt like amateur junk within a month. So I decided to keep things under wraps until I hit a certain high quality.
DeleteI'm quite near that point, so no previews juuuust yet, but hopefully I'll be able to surprise everyone soon. If you like Shinra's or G9's work, you'll likely enjoy what I've got planned. :)
V.
what are some of the themes? Demon corruption, futa, breast expansion, tentacle/parasite, etc.?
DeleteSuper intrigued dude :) !
Corruption parodies, so they will hit most genres; just depends on what works best with the characters and elements from the source material.
DeleteFor instance the main comic will be a Pokemon parody which allows me to do a form of demonic corruption, tentacle scenes, mind control, magic and everything else you can imagine within an adult Poke universe. A few things I won't do in the comics like yuge bewbs, because they kinda screw with the realistic look I'm going for. But they could be requested by Patreons for bonus rewards, I'll be pretty open with those.
But let's just focus on Shinra for now, I'd feel bad for hijacking his tread. Everything will be explained when it goes online. :)
V.
News, please...
ReplyDeleteCau giờ vl
ReplyDeleteI AM DIE
ReplyDelete"Sorry everyone I have been super busy with work even after my trip around the world in March and now I will not have any time until June to finish this! >_< "
ReplyDeleteThat's the type of stupid message I expect to hear. Yes the story is good yes the quality is good but STOP GIVING PEOPLE FALSE PROMISES. Be upfront and tell us the truth or enough to tease us so you can continue to get hits on your damn blog page.
lololol. Relax buddy.
DeleteI'd definitely prefer to keep getting hits on my damn blog, google is giving me 10 bucks for each...
DeleteOh, I'm sorry, Anonymous, this comic is SO much more important than the real life that Shinra-Kun has to live to put food on the table and pay his bills.
DeleteThe real world takes priority, and you KNOW it. Only selfish little shits like you would dare make such ridiculous demands.
Anonymous, dude you have got to calm down, it will be done when it's done and nobody, least of all Shinra, owes you anything.
DeleteShinra, you keep doing what you got to do, and ignore the grown children. I look forward to the release when it's ready! :)
Shinra, stop replying to bait.
DeletePeople like that are trying to rile you, probably hoping to make you reply (and give updates on the situation).
Don't stress, we've waited this long. What's another week or 2 between friends?
Probably hoping? Isn't any news shinra? expicit enough? kek. Its clear what the people want, its what they don't understand that causes the frustration. Shinra refuses to communicate thats why. Its been like this for years. I kid you not a simple one liner indicating the time frame he will/will not be free would reduce all the pointless chatter and the comments can be used for theories again. Its free but the dude himself needs to have some standards.
DeleteThe defiler has spoken !
DeleteDon't pay attention to the 2 or 3 trolls on here trying to wind you and everyone up. We understand the work that goes in to this and will always be patient and supportive of your work.
ReplyDeleteYou guys ask for updates too frequently. We know the comic is due shortly and Shinra has just arrived back to address needed edits/additions. I'd say, short of the comic slipping to May, he should be free to work in peace without having to give a status update every couple days. Just let him finish it. If something unexpected happens to significantly delay the release, then, sure, I'd want a post explaining it, but, until then, we've got enough of an idea of what's going on that the only proper thing to do is to wait.
ReplyDeleteWell then again shinra had time to make a sarcastic remark but not even a single line updating current progress so lol.
DeleteMaybe he’s getting pissed off with some of the comments for something he is making for free!
DeleteWell could he had avoided it? Most definitely yes. So i don't see the point in him getting angry over something he could have done. Just because its free doesen't mean people can't ask for updates. I bet the bunch of you want it as much as the others just that you haven't commented yet as you are more patient (Good for you). Lets see shinra go mia and delay this comic for another year and lets see how many of you can still tell yourselves its free and wait silently.
DeleteAnonymous, you also have the right to walk up to a celebrity, your boss, an important investor, or an angry-looking man with a gun, and say 'Fuck you'. Will you do it? Chances are, you won't. That's because you're afraid of them, but you aren't afraid of Shinra-Kun, are you? He's not worth your politeness or consideration just because he can't hurt or harm you.
DeleteThat makes you a bully. You only pick on those who aren't capable of fighting back.
Shame on you. Shame on you, I say.
It is something Shinra is doing on his accord whenever he is free. And while it is one of the best 3d corruption works out there it isn't the only thing you can jerk off to. Would you like if Shinra was putting it behind a paywall via Patreon? Would you even donate in the first place? Be reasonable with what are you asking.
DeleteAlso it makes you look pathetic because it feels like your whole life resolves around you jerking off. You've waited years, you can wait one more month.
<3 you Shinra.
For a long time I dream to see a 3d comic about my favorite game The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. Who can tell me if there is a corrupt comic about her? The models from Spektra3D look incredible. It's a pity that Shinra does not have 20 clones to please all his fans. Maybe someone from the artists will see my "plea" and create such a comic?
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of 5 sec. animated shorts, but no comics afaik.
DeleteI have Ciri, Geralt, Triss and Yennefer picture perfect HD and ready-to-use in my 3D portfolio and done some cool artwork with them, but no plans for a comic yet.
Maybe in the future, but that would depend on enough Patreons voting for one. So who knows, it's possible.
V.
But let inhale this poor man Shinra!
ReplyDeleteYou realize how your words can be hurtful or badly interpreted.
He has a life as everything in each, thus he can make that he wants. It is its blog. He has these priorities and it is necessary to understand him.
I the first one I am impatient to see this chapter, but for all that without being lacking to him respect.
Furthermore I find this kind of long and not constructive debate.
Fit of bad temper of an unknown person.
Shinra-Kun, just stop right here and say 'Whoops, final chapter's going to cost you. I need a thousand people donating at least ten dollars per person.' See how they like that.
ReplyDeleteAnd they can't do aaaaanyyyyythiiiinggg about it.
I'm your fan in Taiwan, my name is Laya. You are a really great and cool artist. I like your artwork, they are really awesome. But don't be too busy and take some rest.
ReplyDeleteHe was in a rush to get this done before he went away, almost did it. Now were nearly 2 weeks later and the completion bar hasn't moved at all.
ReplyDeleteShame on SHINRA for 1. Not updating enough. 2. False promises when he does speak 3. Gets annoyed by commenters enough to respond to THAT but no time to say "making progress I got 9394 renders left".
Lack of courtesy. Yes it's a hobby but youre getting donations for this , I'd feel SOME kind of responsibility to get this out sooner. It's been YEARS!!!!!!
Close off all donations. Dont feed this guy a penny... let's see how quick he moves.
First of all, they are named DONATIONS not paying fees, If you don't want to donate it's fine you are not paying for a product to do that there are a lot of paid adult content out there. This has been said so many times before, this isn't his only occupation, this is a side project done whenever he has the time to do so, it's been free since the very beginning. If he where on Patreon or some other crowd funding platform then perhaps you could demand for an update, but for free stuff? Not cool. Yes we are all eager to see the next chapter, I myself check out this site regularly to see if there are any updates. but by no mean this gives us the right to DEMAND for stuff. You think he lacks courtesy? Whenever he can, Shinra comes to this blog and answer lots of questions and giving us regular updates of how he is doing. Also he never made any false promises, he said, he would try to do whatever was in his possibilities to get it done before March because he would have to be out of home. He never gave a final date. We didn't know how much work remained to finish the Chapter, and trust me if you feel this has been it's been to long since the last update, knowing how many renders are left won't ease your desperation instead it will increase it.
DeleteHoo boy...
ReplyDeleteLike I get feeling impatient. I'm excited, we're all excited. Like really fucking excited. It feels really close and yet so far away and this can be naturally make you feel anxious, but fuck dude.
Like, could Shinra be a little better at communication? Maybe, but that doesn't mean he should be shamed. I want this comic to come out, but I also recognize a shit ton of Shinra's time went into it.
Also, I'm pretty sure from past comments Shinra is self employed and seems to have negative free time and I'm also pretty sure the donations on this website add up to a tiny percentage of his income. Not the best idea to get him to move quicker.
Shit, I commented instead of replying...welp
Delete¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyways, Shinra, you are badass artist, best in the business. I think the thing you do best, which is immensely frustrating (In a good way), is that you hold back on corruption in favor of plot. It drives me nuts right until I nut. Seriously shows a lot of good planning and thought and combined with your artistic skills makes you number one in my book. Your awesome dude and we can't wait for your comic.
One of the silent supports here mate, just waiting patiently for the work to be done. Love the story so far!
ReplyDeleteCan the communication be better...definitely yes. The only reason I'm not doing it is because I don't want to have to apologise every single time for not having enough time to make significant progress...
ReplyDeleteTo close the debate, rework that has arisen from work done before I left has proven itself bigger than anticipated. I still have 3 renders to re-do and a mini mini scene to recreate. Believe me I want this chapter out as much as you do. And no, you won't have to wait another month to get your hands on it. In the meantime, it doesn't mean I'm gonna rush what's left.
As for donations...First, I'll take the opportunity to thank all of those who have been donating over the years. Thank you for supporting the creation of those comics. Because that's what it is... all money received through donation is reinvested in the making of the comic. If I buy myself 5 pizzas a year out of these...that's a lot. If anything, on top of costing me my time, those comics cost me money... I'm only doing this because I enjoy it...
Lastly, I'd like to remind you that this blog exists because I wanted the community gravitating around corruption comics to have a place to gather, share ideas and prosper in harmony hum...hum... :D
not fight against each other. Please let's keep it courteous and lighthearted.
From Shinra with love
big hugs!
( . Y . )
DeleteWell said shinra, honestly I love corruption as a theme and wish I had the talent you do to bring your ideas to life that appeals to the masses.
DeleteI have an idea I believe could be a big hit but I just don't have any talent when it comes to art, or anything truly creative. I'm good with words but it doesn't have the same flair as what you do.
Anyways shinra keep up the good work, and I look forward to viewing this work when you complete it.
Alex
Take your time, Shinra. The people that respect you, and your work will patiently wait for the release. The "anonymous" people that like to "itemize" their complaints, as above, neither respect you or your work, and should be ignored completely.
DeleteBig hugs back at ya! :)
Splendid
DeleteThanks for all Shinra.
DeleteI really appreciate your work, your imagination, the time you spend on it.. and the example of passionate guy you give.
But lastly, what i definitely most appreciate is your comments.
Thanks to give some news to your fans, to everyone's waiting and mainly thanks to give some diplomatic and lovly limits to some selfish, impatient, rude... boys (or girls).
I send you a lot of good vibrations of joy, strengh, serrinity and love.
Support your work. I’ve been a fan for three years. Really hope it can be finished in April. Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteYou better watch out, you better not cry
ReplyDeleteYou better not pout, I'm telling you why
Shinra Claus is comin' to town, gather around
He's making a list and checking it twice
He's gonna find out who's naughty and nice
Shinra Claus is comin' to town
So anyone think we can rack up more comments than the last update post before the release? It's been bugging me for a while and it seems like something to achieve.
ReplyDeleteLike wow, we did that, all those comments. Just stacked on top of each other
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteHere we go, update of the day...
ReplyDeleteI'm done with the last 3 renders I had to re-do
Only the mini scene left...
Keep up the fantastic work, you're the best Shinra!
DeleteAfter the mini mini scene, all thats left is for MP to check, corrections and we're good to go?
DeleteThere is a good chance it will be like this. There may be a couple of typos in the new pages, but those are super easy to fix and won't cause a new delay.
DeleteThats reassuring. Really hoping its this weekend but take your time if you need to.
DeleteI'm happy that we are near the finish line but it's still too early to get F5 fever. Even a "mini scene" means multiple pages with multiple brand new renders per page. Then, when all done, it takes at least a full day for the review because of the time zone difference between Shinra and mpgrey. This weekend would be a miracle but within a week may be doable.
DeleteWell the F5 season only starts when G9 has sent his checks on the finished renders and all that is left is for the boss to upload. (If there are no changes to be made). Till G9 updates us, we don't have to mash F5
DeleteThis better be the best mini scene ever....
DeleteAfter being teased for so long with Tethys being slow played I can't wait for her to finally be turned. I'm glad Shinra isn't staying with the blue skin look. I'm thinking that second pic of her from previous update is the devil rewarding her with an upgrade in power.
The blue skin thing might still stay though, and all that is shown is part of the corruption process.
DeleteGreat work mate. Thanks for the hard work
ReplyDeleteYay shinra mate it sounds like you r so close to finishing the fantastic and amazing chapter nine cannot wait to see what happens to all of the poor uncorrupted inoccent angles and guards :) keep up the amazing work at least where getting a late Easter but a early Halloween ahahahaha. Quick question would there be any chance in the future of you adding more speechless content to the Queen or could we quite possibly see this a comic some day in the distant bright future.
ReplyDeleteJust curious, but have you guys ever considered the possibility of a community discord? I know managing something like that could turn into a huge pain in the butt, but I also feel like having something where everyone could casually discuss the comic and stuff would be really fun and cool!
ReplyDeleteIn a certain sense, that's exactly what this blog is for, isn't it?
DeleteAre we going to have a very happy surprise today? An egg of pâques.hihihi... I hope that Shinra and MP has had enough time to make the last regulations otherwise will be later.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you two.
I love your work Shinra-kun and I can('t) wait to see the new chapter.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your hard work and dedication to this comic and the corruption fandom.
News please, 97-98%??? Lol.
ReplyDeleteDude, your're awesome. Few people in the world would give enough of a crap to keep going like you. I'm rooting for you!
ReplyDelete
