This gallery is not the CG gallery from the game, it's an original comic made to promote the game by Doodles, the creator of the game, and 34san.

Astynoos and the 4 Priestesses of Aphrodite is an RPG Maker based game created by Doodles.
It involves futas and fetish stuff (bukkake / gokkun, foot fetish, piss play, hard deepthroat, and a few BDSM things).
Here is latest and last version (1.2): https://mega.nz/#!HRgziIyS!G9nhMzETK_FlN4wVTk8YIAuTGamsk6PVADEYfLjP6nk

The story is about a dead young king in the Ancient Greece discovering that he is an unknown son of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. To reclaim his divine status and avoid being thrown in hell like a mere mortal, he has to travel through the land of Aphrodite and please her 4 daughters: the 4 priestesses of Aphrodite. Each one of them rules a part of Aphrodite land dedicated to a specific fetish / sexual practice.

If you think the quality of the pics is bad, you are right, but this is the best possible quality. To know more about it, read this post: http://futanari-drawings.tumblr.com/post/154807590278/why-i-dont-recommend-to-work-with-34san-hi

I can't understand how an artist can't have such a lack of love for his own work to publish something so unfinished, the worst part of it is that this actually looked pretty damn interesting.

This is so unlike 34san to even do something like this. I feel insulted that he can't produce something of quality for us to enjoy.

I wonder how much the artists' side of the story disagrees, because yeah, this really doesn't seem like professional behavior.
Other than that, it's a good comic, so whatever the truth in the debacle, it's a shame.

As some one who's commissioned 34san, he can be very hard to work with. He doesn't communicate well, he can have huge delays, and the quality of his work varies greatly. The first time I commissioned him it took over a year to get a sketch. The second time I did was a stream commission. He started off by drawing the wrong characters, then when I asked him to correct them he made me pay for another slot and he still didn't get their skin colors right despite many references. I kept paying for slot after slot trying to get him to fix the pictures and he barely did. I ended up paying $80 instead of $20 and was left to tweak and recolor the picture in photoshop to get what I wanted.

I let it slide as I too am a big fan of his work but seeing him screw over someone like this I feel the need to speak up. Give this man your money at your own risk.

Hey guys, just gonna chime in and offer my perspective.

I'll start off by saying yeah, I have to cop to having taken a while with projects in the past. My old method of tackling commissions was sloppy and pretty unprofessional. It ended up causing huge delays with at least a few people. This is why I stream now and have restructured my whole approach. The result is a much quicker turn-around and in many cases the work ends up coming out cheaper than my older estimate-based pricing. Streaming also has the added benefit of immediate communication and response due to the live chat functionality.

With this project here, a lot of that holds true. I probably could have handled it in a more organized way and should have been more communicative during the process. However, the scope of the project ended up being greater than the budget allocated. Tchoppa's story was much more ambitious in the original request and the work needed would have well exceeded the original estimate. I tried to get the page count down to make it more feasible to complete. There was a lot of back-and-forth with trying to plan it out, and the hours kept adding up. With the overtime I had to commit to make sure the comic could be finished cohesively, I ended up doing a lot of it for free (including the cover and some additional pages which I just threw in as a favor). I also ended up extending the page count beyond what was initially agreed. I don't blame Tchoppa for this, I should have had a better handle on the workload I was doing, but at that point I had rarely done comic commissions beyond a few pages and there were a lot of unknowns in trying to piece it all together. So I was working with a pretty limited budget (not to diminish the investment of the commissioner; any amount you're willing to throw my way is valuable to you and I recognize that) and was already stretched extremely thin on available time. So I apologize, you're not wrong to have your opinions on this experience. All I can say -- if it's any consolation -- is I've learned from it and I've restructured my whole business to avoid instances like this. In the year since, I would say I've had no problems come about from it.

However, Shikron, you're the only person I've heard negative criticism from since starting streaming. I can't admit too much fault here, though -- I finished your picture while you were watching, while there was a chat in progress for you to communicate on. I didn't hear anything from you after the initial version of your picture was done that would have lead me to believe you weren't satisfied; in fact a mutual friend had to tell me you had issue with it. I also think your estimate on the cost is off; your picture to complete would not have cost only $20. It's not like it started as a thing that only would've have cost $20 and then my error/corrections required an extra $60; that's completely false. I don't think you're painting a fair perspective of that experience. Even now I'm surprised to hear this -- because again, you're not being direct with your opinions. I had to find out you still weren't satisfied by just browsing my work on an outside site.

Anyway, I like both of you guys and I'm sorry for the negative experiences, whatever my role in them was. While based on your comments I don't expect you to come to me for work in the future, I feel very confident in saying that I can do better by you if you ever choose to.

Hey 34san, I'm happy you took the time and found the courage to write such an honest feedback. I understand your position now, I just regret we didn't talk about it openly when we were working on the project.

I would have been very happy to find a solution based on a clear feedback like " Okay, I'm sorry, I never made such a big commission, I underestimated the thing. I don't have enough time to work on it at a reasonable price. You'll have to find someone else, I'll send back the money. " or " I can't allocate enough time to do it correctly considering what has been paid. What do we do now: 1) simply forget about it, I refund everything and you have a few unfinished sketches ; 2) I do what I've been paid for, so I can do only half of what has been planned. How do we adapt the storyline? 3) Or maybe do you want to add what is missing? ".

Instead of that, I really had the feeling you have no intention to finish the comic and hoped I will end up being tired to chase you up from one hand, and on the other hand the feeling that you just wanted to send me the worst quality pic possible to make me pay for having accepted to do the commission at this price you found too low at some point. Like I don't deserve the have the pic, so here is a damaged file, and the job is done.

Well, I have to admit at least I'm happy to see you've recognized your faults, and to know that this experience has helped you to find a way to communicate better with your commissioners. I just wish I wasn't the guy paying the training though...

But in fact, the saddest is that I am satisfied with what you have done! I love what you draw for me, I'm just mad because the way I received the result is ruinuing it. Imagine John Williams, while performing the music for Star Wars, recording the orchestra with one single cheap microphone from outside of the concert hall, with car and crowd noises over it. That's what I feel I got.

I'm honestly not considering asking for a new commission from you right now. But, who knows, maybe if you offered 1 free drawing to include in my new game, FutadomWorld Binding Sim, it would bring a happy ending to the story and help to bury the hatchet.
