Art of Queen Colubridis (from House of Hellish Harlots)

Continuing the theme of art of harlots, here's Queen Colubridis in all her gluttonous glory.




This commission was mine.  After seeing how the first Khanara Anandanum came out for Mark45.  I looked at Marwmellow's DeviantArt page, saw a lot of lovely lamias, and reckoned they'd be perfect for drawing Queen Colubridis.

Queen Colubridis is another one of the harlots from my erotic horror interactive fiction game "The House of Hellish Harlots".  In it, you the player have to try and survive the night in a brothel filled with hungry succubi and other monster girls.  It's still a work in progress and has morphed into a slightly more ambitious project than I originally thought.  There are over 50 harlots to interact with.  You can check it out here.

The money for the commission was raised through my Patreon.  If you'd like to support the creation of more works like this, please consider subscribing.  This month I'll be looking into other alternatives to Patreon as well.  I know some people refuse to use Patreon for ideological reasons (which I fully understand).

  1. Beautiful artwork. She does look better with golden eyes. When I read her appearance, my mind goes to a snake girl Cleopatra. But given that she's Egyptian, that was mostly your intent, right Hydra?

    So how more lore on the Queen? Is she a high level lust daemon? Why is a regal lust daemon at the House? Is she stronger or at the Madam's level? Did she used to be a warrior?

    One more question: What if a man snuck in? The Madam obviously cant be by the door 24/7, didnt you had an early demo where you either go in with the three guys or can break in by yourself?

    If a guy does sneak in, will the Madam know?

    1. She borrows classic Ancient Egyptian style, but isn't Egyptian. Lust daemons take on certain styles and looks (not sure if that's because they've visited Earth at those times or the Dominion itself has the ability to tap into human fantasies and spawns daemons to represent them).

      She's not actually that strong despite the name. She's seen as a bit of a lazy glutton and even her mesmeric powers are fairly weak. She does give a wicked blowjob though and is still powerful enough to outclass a regular man.

      That was going to be a plot point in the original prototype. For this version it wouldn't go too well for him. The Madam has Misty and others patrolling the grounds for 'snoopers'. The House is also packed full of powerful lust daemons. The Madam might have them captured and put through her game, but if they tried anything funny, she'd have her hounds dispose of them fairly quickly.

  2. Unlike the other harlots, she has the best blowjob scene. I know Diana has her blowjob Hound, but its hard to spank the monkey when her pet looks like female Nosferatu with tits...

    1. Poor Khruutka. She's prettier than that, although she is bald and has the pointed ears. Probably more like a Nosferatu played by a hot actress where they left her face mostly as is.

  3. She's more gorgeous than Alice from MGQ. Great job, I wonder who is the next harlot pic. I also want to say that I like how Diana talks about the Portly Gentleman, it shows that the harlots have noticed him.

    1. So what does every harlot think of the Portly Gentleman? Since he's been there for a while, are most of the harlots gunning for him?

    2. Is it true that a harlot will specifically target a man that gets too close to the Barman?

    3. What does Queen C think about the other snake girls? What does she think about the snake girl that serves the Pleasure goddess and the other snake girl that's in the smothering faction that sticks her tail up your ass?

    1. Might give patrons a poll to pick the next character.

      1) It's hinted in his dialogue. The Portly Gentleman has been in the House a long time. A lot of the harlots would like to be the one to get him.

      2) Maybe. I do have some odder conditions for Bad Ends, so a succubus that spitefully kills the player if they've spoken to the Barman more than a set number of times could work as a scenario mechanic. He does tend to try and 'save' all the new arrivals. So it's more that some succubi enjoy gleefully telling him in great detail when they claim one.

      3) I do have a mechanic where some harlots give hints on other harlots. I haven't used it recently as it's something I'll probably go back to later once I know the full rosters. Harlots will likely offer hints on either harlots within their faction, or harlots that share their type. Queen C is a haughty regal type. She probably thinks Anna Boa is too coarse, Calliophi a little pathetic, and a Calliophi's sister (who hasn't been added yet) a dancing servant. Sorpresa Ombra is a little different. She's probably a mystery to the other snake girls.

  4. She's gorgeous and fucking amazing. We need more dark skinned beauties in the House.

    That is true about the Barman, how about Hydra that you write a quick scene of a harlot taunting the Barman after the Player dies to a Bad End. It could be like at Round 8 or 9 to show how he was so close to escaping.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. That would make a good random event - the player overhears a succubus taunting him (which would give player hints on how to survive that scenario). I do want to add a random event mechanic at some point (likely in the post-room phase), but it's very low down the current list of priorities.

      Delete
  5. I like the snake girl and her Mouth SUCC was good. However, do you plan to add more harlots that have an eldritch abomination side to them like Chibi and Morticia Rose?

    Like will you make a lust daemon version of the Shoggoth? Cthulu? Or Shub Niggurath?

    1. Maybe as analogues. I love the Cthulhu Mythos, but avoid any sort of namechecking, as it's very easy to have your own universe sucked in if you're not careful. :)

      I like some of my monster girls to have a bit of weirdness about them, so expect a few more like Cibi and Morticia that are a bit more than they first appear.

  6. Great pic dude, but you know the succubus that forced Sammy to be a harlot? Saeva Diobolia right? What kind of succubus is she and why did she get to decide what to do to Sammy? Does she outrank Elegant Lady?

    Also it does suck that succubi can drain human woman; I just want them to focus on men. What's next? The succubi are going to go full on Futa and sprout dicks? It doesn't help that they can use their tail to do it...

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Damn, that reminds me I need to save a slot in one of the factions for Saeva. Nearly forgot! If I remember right she's currently slightly lower than the Elegant Woman, but I'd have to check my notes and that might change. That faction mostly has classic succubi that are very bitchy and backstabby to each other.

      They mostly focus on men with a few specialists that prefer draining women. I doubt I have the ability to write that scene from a woman's PoV and it not be shit, so I tend to just reference it as things that do occasionally happen in the background. One of the ideas I had for the lore of the House is that visitors only see that which matches their sexual orientation - that's it's an eldritch location with multiple Houses layered on top of each other - so if a carload of visitors arrived and one of the men was gay, he'd find himself in a different bar filled with hot incubi instead.

      The succubi are very unlikely to start sprouting dicks. Futa is a massive turn-off for me, so the only way it would show up in the House is if a guest writer wrote it.

      Delete
  7. Oh yeah! You got a point Anon. I just read that story and that its been bothering me.

    M.E Hydra: "Dicks are gross to me and I don't like Futa."

    Also M.E Hydra: Has written a sex scene of a succubus making her tail dick-like and using it to drain a human woman.

    I mean dude, Hydra, the scene would be the same if she sprouted a dick. Why is it different because its her tail? Is it because its not cumming that its doesn't count?

    I hope we don't see a succubus like this again. Im here for hot succubi/monster girl on human man action, and besides, a succubus like Emma pretty much makes incubi needless.

    There seems to be a trend of demon girls and succubi sprouting dicks lately and its getting tiring.

    I just feels like its contradicts what you say, that's all.

    1. I agree. That could have been a good scene to introduce a Chad Thundercock incubus, but it had to go to the dick tail succubus. The scene would not change Incubi are pretty nonexistent in Hydra's stories huh?

      He says that it would break world building when the incubi haven't done NOTHING.

      Incubi suck so bad they are replaced by dick tail succubi XD

    2. I think it's a personal taste thing.

      Finger in ass, tentacle in ass, tail in ass = fine (providing it belongs to sexy female monster girl).

      Dick in ass = vomit (even if it belongs to sexy female monster girl).

      That's just for me, though. I imagine it varies from person to person.

      It's just a taste thing. I don't think futa is bad or anything (although maybe a bit overused on succubi/monster girls at the moment). It's not something that appeals to me and I think the kink has to appeal to me in some way to be able to write hot smut about it.

      For Sammy in HoHH I felt it had to be a succubus - to both make her think she had to transform into that and also because I wanted that character to show up later.

      As for Emma, I'm guessing that's the High School Removal Agency story. That could have been an incubus, to be fair. I think my reasoning was that an incubus would have provoked a different reaction from the protagonist (the show was partially for his benefit and to turn him on - which might not have been the case had it been a Chad Thundercock banging his wife).

      Incubi are a weird one. I think some readers would prefer the story universe to have none at all (similar to KC's MGE). I don't think it would make sense for a Dominion of Lust to not have any, so I tend to run with a compromise where they exist but aren't likely to get much screentime. It's an area where I encourage other people to write those stories.

      One of the stalled novel ideas I have on the hiatus pile does have an incubus on man scene, but it's played for pure horror.

      Delete
  8. Lol it seems like Me Hydra hates incubi. There isn't a single incubus character with a name in any of his stories. Not even a minor one. The only male daemons that get character development is Carny (Wrath daemon) and even the annoying little demonic imp that was with the girl warlock.

    So many succubi and not a single incubus.

    And yes he says he doesn't want an incubus to bang any guys but come on, he could at least make an incubus character still.

    1. Partly answered above. It's a mixture of personal preference and audience expectation. They exist, but aren't going to get much screentime because people are coming to my stories mainly to read about hot succubi banging men.

      Maybe I'll introduce a named incubus character at some point. It would make sense for Koontz to have one on his books for corrupting gay men in positions of power. I rate my ability to write gay porn as negligible as writing a proper female PoV, so that will likely never be anything more than something referred to or spotted in the background. :D

  9. I hope I'm not to late to ask you my question Hydra, but what happened to the Huntress succubi? Why did they need to be confined to their rooms? What was the incident that made them stop chasing humans outside the House? Was it because humans managed to escape?

    As for the dick tail succubus thing, I'm pretty sure the Madam has a website telling everyone her brothel is aimed at straight men. Just like gay bars are for gay people.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I left the event open with the Huntress succubi to fill in later. Most likely they chased someone a little too far and attracted unwanted attention. Might be something I write as a short story some day.

      Who the brothel caters to is something I haven't finalised. Either there are multiple Houses across the globe catering to different tastes, or one that uses Eldritch trickery to overlay multiple locations on top of each other (in which case there would be multiple adverts in different places to lure everyone). Either way, I'll only be writing sexy female succubus on straight men, so it's nothing more than a background detail.

      Delete
  10. I see it more of a biological stance. Succubi preferring to drain men because their bodily fluids are different and unique. They gain a lot of energy and will be more well fed on draining a guy's sperm and testosterone.

    I too am not a fan of succubi with dicks or succubi that drain women; they are femme fatales that seduce men and are total man eaters. The succubus with a penis is a walking contradiction.

    Personally, while succubi CAN drain women, they prefer men. I don't want to see a situation where a succubus is presented a man and a woman and chooses the woman over the man.

    It kinda of kills my sex fantasy if a female sex fiend that preys on men chooses a woman instead of a dude.

    It would be like a vampire that injects blood into people instead of sucking blood, or an incubus that has a pussy instead of a penis.

    What's odd is that men with vaginas aren't as popular as dick girls.

    What about you Mr Hydra? What do you think of incubi with pussies? Are they yes for the House or do you find them blegh like dick girls?

    1. Its actually a Double Standard. While Futa chicks are popular and loved, men with vaginas are considered horrifying eldritch monsters for some reason...

      Delete
    2. Because the lack of bouncing tits and womanly curves in the equation pushes it into an Uncanny Valley territory. I don't want to see a muscular man with a vagina riding cowgirl on a guy's dick. Its just...ugh!

      Delete
    3. What the succubi consumes tend to vary. I normally like explicit fluid drain as it feels more 'real', but some just rip out the soul and there are weird ones like Khanara that convert a human to pleasure and absorb it.

      The succubus is pretty much always going to pick the man. There are some that specialise in seducing and feeding off women, but they're not likely to show up anywhere other than as a background mention in my writing.

      An incubus with a vagina would be really hard to make work. For most people it just isn't erotic. I think it would be really hard to make people take it seriously for horror as well. The moment I read the comment the Mighty Boosh's sketch "I've got a mangina!" replayed in my head and I knew I couldn't do anything with it.

      I conceptualise as the Dominion of Lust as Rule34 given form, which means that if someone is turned on by it, a lust daemon exists to cater for it. So, there are probably succubi with dicks and incubi with vaginas.

      That said, these are stories and scenes I'm not going to write. I think the gender-bending weirdness angle is already pretty well covered in Western monster girl/succubus games/writing (eg Corrruption of Champions). I prefer to play that aspect fairly straight and have the weirdness angle be the horror and death-by-snu-snus.

  11. Is the Buxom Witch girl part of her own faction in the House? Or is she independent? Are there going to be other harlots that support the Chaos Gods?

    What sex scene will she have? Tit fucking and blowjob? Normal sex?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. She's the NPC I have least idea on. She's a witch, so magic would be involved. As for faction she'd either be independent or align with the Madam's generic succubus one. This is slightly tricky as The Elegant Woman also feels like she should align with that faction, and I'd rather the NPCs were aligned with different groups for balance.

      Delete
    2. Ah. I forgot about her affiliation with the Lords of old Chaos. In the original idea I did have a 'Chaos' faction, but they were squeezed out when I needed to cut down to 5 factions. The House is designed to be extensible in terms of factions, so that might be added later.

      Delete
  12. She's hot and the shading of her skin and lighting is well done.

    So are you going to add on harlots from the Charm back stories? Would love to see the Crimson Countesses that was told from the Garlic Charm, or Hellcona from the Bull's Balls Charm.

  13. Great commission. I can't wait to see what the next one will be Mister Hydra. I do have two questions for you:

    1. What will the second Huntress succubus be like? Its obvious they can't really chase humans in the forest, so what will she be like, what will she look like? And what is her pet going to be?

    2. Have you played Until Dawn? A horror game where you have a choice to save everyone or let everyone die? There is actually a new one out called The Quarry. The games aren't jumpscare heavy like Five Nights at Freddy's.

    So as horror author, what do you think about these interactive horror games where your choices impact the survival of the characters? Its kinda like your House of Hellish Harlots where the PC must pick the right options to survive the succubi.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 1) Different. She's a big vodka-guzzling oni in a fur coat. Maybe too hammy in the 1st draft. I wanted them to be different types of 'hunters' and she's more of a wrestle-a-bear in the wilderness type (the 3rd is shaping up to be an island fisherwoman type with a pack of mermaids).

      The hunting lodge hinted at with Diana does seem to offer up certain ideas. I'm wondering if I might have been better focusing on having all 3 huntress harlots from there, but the other ideas were already pencilled in and being developed. I might come back to it at a later date and flesh it out with a full story or make it part of another game.

      2) No. I haven't played any of the Supermassive games, strangely enough, although I might snag them at some point if they drop low enough on sales. I've watched some streamers play them and I like checking out the death scene compilations on Youtube. I'm a little strange on horror games. I like the old school survival horror games like Resident Evil/Silent Hill, but don't really get the urge to play the newer ones.

      Supermassive seemed to have carved out a niche for these type of games. I'm mixed on them. I liked the idea of the Dark Pictures anthology, but they suffered from the first 2 games being reliant on twists most good horror writers will tell you not to do ("the monsters aren't real" is just too anti-climactic, even if well executed).

      The other problem with this type of game is that the choices tend to be fairly illusory. A character or two might die, but the story is going to play out pretty much the same way. At least that's how it's looked to me when watching playthroughs. I think it's really hard to avoid it. I'm trying to with HoHH, but I'm not sure how advisable that is given that I'll probably have enough content for 5 games once I'm done. It probably isn't feasible for games that are trying to be interactive movies.

      One idea I've been toying with for a while is to try and properly execute the dwindling party concept - where the player starts with a set number of characters that are gradually picked off and the goal is to reach the end with some of them. I think the initial idea was a sort of Darkest Dungeon game where a group of scientists and military is trying to escape through a dangerous H-space region. One mechanic would be to force the player to sacrifice characters to powerful lust daemons in order for the rest to carry on, which could force some interesting decisions and gaemplay.

  14. If you had the money and help, what would and Opening and Ending theme be for House of Hellish Harlots and Succubus Summoning 101?

    You know? Those the intro sequence of a movie or tv show revealing random images before introducing the name of the story?

    I have a strong feeling that an American Horror Story intro showing flashes of black roses, beds, glowing red eyes of beautiful women with horns, a naked man lying on the bed while women with sharp nails caresses his chest and belly, and a man's hand gripping the bed sheet as the hand of a succubus slides over his fist...

    Ok let me stop myself here lol

    But would that be the Opening/Title sequence for the House?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Maybe some kind of cross between Resident Evil 7 and RE 8. Probably show off the mansion and the explicit fountain. Hints of beautiful women inside. Maybe random images of conventional sexy stuff that get more horrific and reveal hints about the true nature of the harlots.

      It would be a little tricky to balance the erotic and horror elements. The House isn't really a spooky house out in the middle of nowhere. It looks off, but in a different way. As it has to tempting. I'd probably add the horror hints with the sexy succubi and monster girls - a hint of horns, a hint of snake or spider, etc.

  15. 1. So in one chapter of Succubus Summoning 101, why did Rosa and Verde needed to hide Phil from Nyte when they were walking down the hall? Would she straight up steal him from them because she's an "alpha succubus" and they can't stop her?

    2. The Boys this week are about to release an episode based on Herogasm. Since you like The Boys, do you think Herogasm was the best story arc in the comics?

    3. Are you going to create a superhero world where you have a group of superpowered humans with sex like powers fight crime or be sexual predatory super villains that prey on people? I really like your Squeezed one shot.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 1) I didn't have a set plan when I wrote SS101. The early idea was for a lot more succubi in the castle with Nyte as the ruler. I raised the other succubi to her level so it was the main 5 + assorted monster girl underlings. It still fits. Rosa and Verde were unsure of Phil's suitability at the time. If he turned out to be unsuitable, they still wanted to play with him for a while. Both Nyte and Cerulea are a little more ruthless in discarding 'unsuitable' warlocks, so Rosa and Verde wanted to have their fun first, before introducing.

      2) TV show The Boys seems to have deviated quite a bit from the comics. I think it will be another episode that shares the title, but not much else. Herogasm was a fun arc. I think my favourite arcs from the original series was the first one (to set out the concept of an anti-supe team laying the smackdown to superhero teams) and weirdly the sooper dooper arc. You need a few wholesome characters to balance out the cynicism in a series like this and I thought the "Team Mom" to a bunch of low-powered and hapless misfits was a nice change of pace.

      3) It was an idea way way back. The second collection has a similar story to Squeezed and I did have thoughts at one point of creating a femme fatale team that used sex and dirty tricks to take down powerful superheroes. That fell by the wayside as I concentrated on other storylines. I'm not sure it's the right time for it at the moment either. Disney are aggressively milking the Marvel brand at the moment and I think there's both audience fatigue with superheroes and for deconstructions of classic heroes. Those themes tend to be cyclic, so it might be something I come back to at some point in the future.

  16. Oh and I forgot to add my fourth question.

    You know how goblins and slimes are considered low tier monsters? How about you make a short stack succubus that's like 4'5, has red skin, and red hair. They would be succubi imps, but look like really short busty grown women instead of teens.

    Like have you seen Helluva Boss? Like the demon imp girl Millie, but with bigger boobs.

    What do you think?

    1. It's a possibility. I tend to prefer them taller, but I'm also trying to go past my own preferences and cater to as many tastes as possible. On reflection, I should have probably used this for the crimson imps. Describing them as looking like bratty twelve-year-old girls just gets the stories booted from Literotica even if the imps are clearly adults and are never shown having sex anyway.

  17. Where was the food coming from? You know how the succubi were holding Phil hostage and feeding him? Where was Verde or Rosa getting the food and water for him? Phil himself said that the succubi aren't really slaving away in a kitchen. Or was it Cerluea going to Mr G's world and getting the food?

    1. That one is magic, as handwavy as the explanation is. The succubi have access to some type of 'house elf' magical servant. As for the true nature of the servants, that's something I've left open in case I need to use it later.

      Delete
  18. When the succubi were holding Phil hostage, did they ever sleep with him in the bed? Like Verde or Rosa would lay down next to him and sleep? In fact, do the succubi in your world needs to sleep like a human?

    1. That I'm not 100% on. They're supernatural creatures, but it would also make sense that they'd need to sleep at some time, so it's not something I've finalised. Rosa or Verde might sleep next to Phil in bed, but they'd probably fuck him to exhaustion first. :)

  20. The vodka drinking oni sounds a bit confusing. Is she a Hunter? She sounds more like she would be part of the wrestling faction. Or is she a Huntress that gets off on chasing human male prey herself with no pet and using her strength and wrestling moves to pin them down?

    Is she coming next month or is she going to be added to next polls for July? Including the fisherwoman with with the mermaids?

    1. She's meant to be more of a wild trapper/survivalist type. She doesn't get involved in her scene - preferring to watch while her 2 'hounds' have fun. I do have some ideas for maybe a later repeat visit involving her and Huntress Diana in some kind of challenge.

      Huntress 3 is still a way off. I have a vague idea of what she is and know she has 3 'hounds' and that they will likely be aquatic. Still a lot of other things to figure out there so I'll probably write other harlots first.

    Here are my questions:

    1. I think a succubus does not need sleep and can go days without resting/sleeping as long as they are able to drain a human every now and then. High tier succubi can go the longest without resting. What do you think of this idea, Hydra?

    2. How can a human end up in the Dominion of Lust? I know its usually the human getting taken there by a lust daemon (Verde and Rosa kidnapping Phil and Nyte kidnapping that one random warlock) but can a sleeping person having a wet dream be taken there? Can a person trip and fall and “Noclip” into the Dominion of Lust?

    3. Is there a “truce zone” like a bar or something where random daemons from different Dominions can meet up and chat? Is it safe for humans to go into the truce area?

    4. Have you checked out The Backrooms yet on Youtube? It’s basically a dimension where people “Noclip” into and it is filled with random monsters and entities and will lead you to dimensions and realities called “Levels”. The dimensions can be anything from a never-ending city, parking garages, beaches, ocean, factories etc.

    Levels like Level 11 Infinite City (an empty city that looks like New York and is endless) is considered a Safe level as it has a few miliary outposts that help out Wanderers (people that accidently got transported to the Backrooms).

    And then you got a Level like Level -9223372036857775808 (I’m not joking, that’s what its literally called) a dimension filled with glitching, flashing colors, and chaos that being there will literally drive you into insanity.

    I do wonder if you have eldritch locations like these in the Dominion. Hell, Cerluea’s area where she has the doors leading to different dimensions and walls with moving painting could pretty much be a Backrooms Level in its own right.

    1. 1) There's probably an energy component. I'm not sure on it. Maybe a future plot will force me to nail it down at some point.

      2) There's been hints in some H-space stories that chunks of worlds can occasionally be pulled into the Dominions - whether through accident or 'helped' by magic users/daemons.

      3) Not sure it would be needed. The Dominions don't really war with each other, although the 8th is not liked by the other 7. As for humans, it would depend on a lot of factors, but mostly the daemon and luck.

      4) It's a very old horror concept. I haven't seen most of the modern SCP-type shared-universe stuff, but it seems interesting. I have a short story idea queued up that combines the concept with Amsterdam's red light district - essentially corridors and corridors of window-girls, but the window-girls are all soul-sucking succubi.

  22. The Backrooms? Seen a few videos and it feels like the next SCP Foundation craze. The idea that you can accidentally fall into an infinite ocean, or be loss in an infinite maze filled with hostile monsters is horrifying. Really driving home then fear of being loss and forgotten forever.

    The Level 22 Found Footage one is the most scary for me. The cameraman running from a shadowy monster that's mimicking random human cries, yells, and pleading through an dimly lit infinite parking lot was fucking terrifying.

    Any eldtrich zone in Hell can easily be a Backrooms Level. Verde's Garden, Cerluea's side of the castle, and the dimension where the Giant Slime girl resides could all be Backroom Levels.

    So Cerluea and Nyte are more harsh at judging warlocks huh? So Nyte torturing Phil and Cerluea looking through his memories were to see if he would be useful to them? Also why couldn't her fire magic work? Isnt she really old and powerful?

    1. It's a fairly strong base horror idea. I think a lot of people have primal fears of getting lost somewhere, so it's an easy one to play with. And can pretty much work anywhere - forests, dense city streets.

      They're all fairly demanding. Rosa and Verde like playing for longer with the 'failures'. Cerulea is... complex. She's also not supposed to have affinity with fire magic. She's powerful enough to try and learn magic she shouldn't be able to use at all.
