Here is some more House of Hellish Harlots art. Not commissioned by me this time. You have Atlantis27 to thank for this one. He commissioned Thraeh for another piece of the House's boss, The Madam, and kindly allowed me to share it here.
There's a nice baroque style to this, which fits for The Madam. She's been around for a very long time, but is still elegantly gorgeous.
I'm still intimidated by the prospect of writing her scenario. It's going to need to be special to do her justice.
Anyway, until then, I hope you like the art. Thank you to Thraeh for creating it, and Atlantis27 for commissioning it and kindly allowing me to share here.
You can find more of Thraeh's art on his DeviantArt here. There are a couple more HoHH pieces Atlantis27 has had commissioned, including more of The Madam.
Art is good, but don't hype her up so much. She seems so mid. Im supposed to believe she is more powerful than Cerluea or Nyte? Come on dude, Phil could beat her. She doesn't feel like a "final boss" when she looks so boring.
ReplyDeleteShe's more powerful than mid, but I'm not sure how powerful. There are elements of the end-game I still have to sort out - i.e is she the end-boss of one faction, or the end-boss after the final queens.
DeleteShe might be more of the type that's hyper-skilled in both the bedroom and political arts, but lacks the raw firepower of other daemons like Rosa and Nyte.
Love the art and those boobs are big and nice :)
ReplyDeleteI will say that it sucks that we don't really get a reaction from the harlots about you being a virgin. We only get this was Panta. Was it by design that Panta is fated to be the first harlot you fuck when you arrive there?
I was wondering, what would the other harlots think if they discovered the man that picked them was a virgin? Would their scenario change? Would a Tier 1 harlot become more dangerous? Would they all be drooling for him?
It would require quite a bit of extra work.
DeleteI'd probably treat it as an additional character attribute the player could set at the start. The upkeep wouldn't be too bad - it's a single variable to check and gets turned off the moment one of the harlots gets the player's cock in her pussy.
The main problem is it would require writing additional dialogue for every harlot to reference it. I've already run into this problem with the 'surrender item' causing a deceptive amount of extra work.
I think it would be a pretty cool mechanic for a HoHH variant that was limited to 10-15 harlots (and went into more detail for each).
As for the harlots - succubi/lust daemons prize virgins as a special delicacy. Pretty much all would be eager to get the 'cherry'. After that it depends on the self-control of the harlot. Some would lose control and drain the virgin dry.
I'd probably have a pair of harlot scenarios that specifically reference the character attribute. One would be harmless to all but virgins. One would be deadly to all but virgins.
The extra overhead and writing is the problem. Maybe if I ever make a HoHH 2, that and other attributes might be fun to play around with.
Just got done watching Hazbin Hotel and its great, but its got me thinking, can a human become a daemon in your world Hydra?
ReplyDeleteIn Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, there are two types of demons: Sinner and Hellborn. A Sinner is basically a human that was turned into a demon while a Hellborn is a demon that has always been a demon.
So are all your lust daemons basically Hellborn demons?
The Hell in Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss also has a hierarchy from weakest to strongest.
-Imps/Hellhounds are the weakest.
-Succubi/Incubi rank higher, and they are they only demons that can travel to Earth to seduce humans.
-Sinner Demons rank higher. While stronger than succubi/incubi they cannot leave Hell.
-Overlords are Sinner Demons that have gotten really powerful and rule a part of Hell. Sinner demons form "contracts" with them for protection and resources.
The Goetia demons, bird-like demons that are aristocratic. They rank higher than Overlords because they are Hellborns.
-7 Deadly Sins, which are the seven demon lords that represent a Sin. They are Hellborn and are very ancient and powerful.
-Lucifer, Lilith, and Charlie.
You didn't make a hierarchy for the Dominion of Lust yet, right?
Sounds like Hazbin Hotel has some nice worldbuilding. I've been following that on and off as well as Helluva Boss.
DeleteI tend to avoid human to demon transformations. I want my demons to be closer to Lovecraftian entities, so I want to keep plenty hidden about them. The problem with human-to-demon is you eventually hit the sparkly vampire problem, where becoming a demon is more like getting cool new superpowers than the horror concept of destruction of self. There might be some demons that specialise in converting humans to demons, but it really won't be good for the human.
Dominion of Lust has hierarchies and regions, but again that's kept hidden. I want readers to feel like they're humans looking in on something impenetrable, rather than humanising the demons too much with standard human politics. (Although those politics can make for interesting conflict).
Good art, also I agree with the dude. You should check out Hazbin Hotel M.e Hydra. Its really good and you can watch the first episode "Overture" for free on youtube. It might give you ideas for your Hell :)
ReplyDeleteThe episode ain't long, only 20-23 minutes.
I might give it a look. I liked the old pilot from years back.
