FAQ

Hi! My name is Nick and I'm the artist behind The Merry Mage. I'm based in the Netherlands.

The artwork, videos, and games are my work, along with the newer stories.

Kate handles the member sign-ups and other key behind-the-scenes work.

We're a small but mighty team!

Max Walker wrote the older stories, including the Double Dare Series and the Harry Potter game story.

I launched this website in late 2020 to share my erotic artwork and it just blew up.

Over a million people visited in our first year!

The success of the website has allowed me to quit my old job and do this work full-time, which I'm incredibly grateful for : ).

Currently there are over 4,500 members who are supporting the site as monthly, quarterly, annual members and over 850 Lifetime members.

Thank you so much to all of you!!!!

I get this question a lot!

My art process has evolved over time.

I always use a base of 3D models which I render and then use as the foundation for the artwork.

In the past I then manually overpainted the faces and other features in photoshop.

Recently I've started using AI to re-texture parts of the initial 3D renders, improving skin tone, hair textures, and other details.

And very recently, I've trained my own custom AI models to help me with the faces, allowing me to render incredibly detailed and accurate faces.

I generally avoid using AI to create the base image, which is why you'll never see messed up hands or weird details that break the fantasy.

My current workflow has around 10-20 steps involving 3D modeling, overpainting, AI re-texturing and compositing, upscaling, and then repeating this for different parts of the artwork (for the background, the face, the breasts, etc), taking me around 3-6 hours per artwork in total.

You can sign-up for a membership through my Artwork by Nick website.

Kate needs to manually set-up each account, so there's a slight delay (usually a few hours) between when you sign-up and when you get your login information.

Don't worry - you'll get it soon.

I release at least 5 new scenes every month, often more.

You cancel anytime.

** Lifetime Membership is now available. No more recurring payments ever! My new scenes every week for life : )

Yes! Click the download icon in the upper right of the image viewer.

But please do not share the images & videos publicly. It REALLY hurts my ability to make a living and do this work fulltime if you do. Thanks!

Because Kate needs to set-up the accounts manually, sometimes there can be a delay of as much as 6 hours before you get your login information (basically, if she's asleep).

Usually though, you'll get it within an hour.

If more than 6 hours have passed, check your spam folder or do a search on 'kate@themerrymage.com' within your email.

If you still can't find any email from Kate, email her at kate@themerrymage.com as sometimes certain email services (particularly outlook, hotmail, me.com, gmx, and mail.com) bounce our emails.

She'll reply to you as soon as she can with the login information.

Don't worry - I have thousands of members and no one hasn't been able to access their account!

Email Kate at kate@themerrymage.com and she'll resend your login information.

Kate needs to manually set-up each account, so there may be a delay of up to 6 hours until you receive your login information.

Once you login, note that for older series (before 2022) you need to click on the Member Access links (not the image link or preview link) to access the member content.

Also, a reminder that you need an active membership to retain site access. If you've canceled your membership, that's probably why you can't access the member content.

Otherwise I usually decide the week before, so it can be a bit spontaneous. Feel free to email me suggestions!

I think a lot of guys have non-con fantasies and it's ok to embrace those for that they are: fantasies.

Ideally as a fantasy it can be a safe expression of something that turns a lot of guys on in their minds.

However, it shouldn't ever go beyond fantasy.

In the real world, we obviously should always treat women and girls with respect.

We shouldn't be creeps or assholes.

I recognize my work walks the line of that with certain celebrities.

It's a valid criticism.

I feel however that many of our shared fantasies are about our favorite characters and we visualize those characters as the people who play them.

For better or worse, my work reflects that reality.

But to be clear, I don't endorse any real-life non-consensual behavior towards anyone.

Keep it to the pixels only and to fantasy!

I wish they were ; p

They are my fantasies and are not in fact real people.

I'm just trying to make them as realistic looking as I can for the fantasy.

Enjoy!

If you're a celebrity and don't want your likeness used on my site, just reach out to me at nick@themerrymage.com and I'll remove it (yes, even if you're Emma Watson). I respect all take down requests from the actual individual who character I depict. I only create this artwork for folks to spank their monkey to it, and I hope that no celeb depicted ever sees or knows about it, as my intent is not at all to harm or cause distress to anyone. So yeah, if you see a character in my artwork that is yours, just reach out to me I'll remove them from the site.
