FAQ

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

I'm based in the Netherlands but am often traveling to the US, UK, Italy, and some other favorite countries.

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

Over a million people have 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 2500 members who are supporting the site, either monthly, quarterly, or annually, mostly via Gumroad and Patreon. Thank you so much to all of you!!!!

I get this question a lot!

I use a mix of 3D modeling and digital painting.

For the most part, I use 3D modeling for the backgrounds and bodies, and digitally paint the faces by hand (based off references of course).

But recently I've begun to try using 3D modeling for the faces as well.

In the past, the 3D models of faces have never been very convincing.

But I'm working hard in the background on the creation of new 3D models that are increasingly realistic. (The Harry Potter game is the beginning of that experimentation.)

My goal in the near future is to create hyper-realistic 3D models of the faces and use those if possible.

That will both increase my output as well as allow for complex animations.

You can sign-up for a membership through Gumroad or Patreon.

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 new scenes every week, usually on Wed or Thursday.

Most people sign-up for the 3 or 12 month cycle, but some people start out with monthly and then upgrade their membership once they see the content.

You cancel anytime, but need to maintain an active membership to retain access.

If you buy a single series or game, you get lifetime access to all the scenes in that series (or game updates) and any new ones I create or add over time. No recurring costs and no membership required!

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 do and login, you need to click on the Member Access links (not the image link or preview link) in the series description 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.

Use the form below if you're still having any issues!

The payments are processed through Gumroad (a payment platform sort of like Patreon but for artists) and so "Gumroad.com" will show up on your statement.

Note that I don't have any access to your credit card information. It's all processed securely through Gumroad.

Absolutely! I take privacy super seriously so your information is *never* shared with anyone else. There are hundreds of supporters in our growing community and respecting everyone's privacy is really important to me.

Yes! Members send me ideas all the time and I often end up using them. If you have an idea or a character you really want to see, just let me know in the contact form below!

Unfortunately, I no longer do commissions.

So sorry to see you go!

If you signed up via Gumroad, you need to go to Gumroad.com and cancel your membership there. You can reactivate it again later if you change your mind.

If you signed up via Patreon, just do what you normally do to stop your patronage of my page.

Keep in mind that when you cancel you'll lose your site access, so if you've already paid for a month or more, you may wish to cancel closer to the renewal date so you can enjoy all the news scenes I'll be releasing.

If you can't figure out how to cancel, just email me and I'll do it for you.

To see a bit of roadmap of future planned series, scroll down on the homepage and you'll see a listing of future series I'm planning along with characters I'll be featuring. These may change with new inspiration!

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

Ideally it can be a safe expression of what is a shadow side of all of us.

However, I don't think any of that should ever go beyond fantasy.

In the real world, we should obviously treat women and girls with respect and not 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.
