| Lion's Pride is my first illustrated story project - a traditional story, with a series of pictures detailing the the changes. Meek and mild Cleo is an underpaid and under-appreciated political campaign worker who is sucked into a world where everyone is anthro, including her. But that's not the only change she needs to worry about. As time goes by, Cleo finds herself increasingly tempted to turn her back on her old ways, embracing selfishness, corruption, power, hedonism, gluttony, and of course, pride. |
Our goal is to regularly produce a collaborative, illustrated, anthro/transformation themed story every 2 months. If you are interested in helping with these projects, you can support the Patreon page we have set up. The more support it gets, the longer and more detailed the transformation will be. Similar to The Transformation Mall, there are many pledge levels, some of which allow for creative control, including custom artwork and written scenes. Since this is a new idea, I wanted to address some questions you might have.
How is this different than The Transformation Mall?
The Transformation Mall was a crowdfunded collection of short stories, tied together by the setting. Lion's Pride is a single-subject story, and it is illustrated. There's less customization potential because the basic story is already in place, but the transformation will be much more in depth because it is going to focus on one specific character for its entirety. Also, The Transformation Mall was a one-time project, whereas I hope to create illustrated stories on an ongoing basis.
Why should I pledge for this project?
As I mentioned earlier, the more support the project gets, the longer and more detailed the story will be and the further the changes will go. Pledges help provide support to both me and the artist. At the higher levels, pledges can also allow you influence the finished project, like creating an alternative ending with a custom-commissioned scene and artwork.
Can I get the stories without pledging?
The illustrated stories will be eventually published on Amazon, Smashwords, or another platform which is conducive to illustrated stories. However, similar to The Transformation Mall, Patrons will receive the stories well in advance of their publication.
Can I make a 1-time pledge?
Yes. Patreon, the platform used to provide funding for Lion's Pride, is designed to provide ongoing support for artists and authors who do ongoing work. But if you want to contribute to a single project only, you can sign up, and then cancel after you make your first pledge.
Will these illustrated projects all be anthro-themed?
All of the illustrated projects I create with Volkenfox will be anthro-themed. I may work with other illustrators in the future to create illustrated projects that are not anthro-themed.
Let me know if you have any other questions about this project!
