Welcome to Obsidian’s Blessing!

I have an entire blog section I can use so I’m going to start.

Hi, happy new year! I’m ArcFlash, also known as Volt. I’m an erotic comic artist, illustrator and animator, and this is my website. I draw and write queer adult work, so if you are not over 18, please leave this space.

I’ve been drawing NSFW art for some time now, but it’s only recently that I’ve gone full steam ahead on putting my adult work out there more. My goal with this blog is to utilize it and make it a dynamic record of my journey as a NSFW artist and navigating different storytelling media. Comics are my primary modus operandi, but I am recently digging into prose, and getting back into animation!

I want to make the most of this website and this blog to share my experiences.

What to expect:

I draw monsterboys, and comics about them! I’m really into demons, fantasy, rituals and ancient religions. Mythology, history and mysticism inform my work, so you’ll see an array of creatures here and with it, a range of intimacy. Since I want this to be a site which updates, I want it to be somewhere I can go to share my thoughts in this blog about different topics within smut art and writing, and hopefully I can document the journey I am on, the process and maybe help some people along the way. I also plan on sharing and recommending some other comics I am enjoying, building up other parts of the website as I go.

About This Site

Obsidian’s Blessing is the name of my website, but it is also the name of the first NSFW comic I released in April 2025. It’s about Damakos, a guilt-ridden, half-incubus seeking relief from his lustful hunger that is starting to bleed into his daily life…His attempts at suppressing his desires are beginning to fail him, and, what he finds come nightfall at a particular temple is exactly what he asked for, from a familiar priest of the moon goddess.

I initially released Obsidian’s Blessing on itch.io. I actually had it finished for some time before ever mentioning it to anyone else. I guess a part of me was embarrassed or ashamed. For as long as I’ve been making NSFW art on the internet for strangers to look at, this somehow felt more personal to me. It was something I poured a lot of time and thought into, and this character was attached to another safe for work project I have going. I was reticent to share it so quickly even though I spent months making it.

Had it not been for Boney, a dear friend of mine asking after it, I wouldn’t have found the courage to finally announce that it’d been on itch.

Shortly thereafter, rolling censorship targeted the itch and steam platforms. All adult works were, for itch.io’s part, delisted and unsearchable. People who were making their income from itch were put out. It was devastating and a lot of artists, game devs and authors are still feeling the shock waves from this event.

For my part, between genAI’s bullshit and censorship of queer voices, it felt like every time I was starting to regain some sense of confidence in what I could do and ways to share my work, I felt like some event set me back, and it’d take me some months to find it again.

The only thing I can really control at the end of the day is how I can change. The landscape around me will always be changing and it’s helped immensely, to take a step back and look at the things that I can control. it’s why I created this website, it’s why I started a newsletter, and it’s why I’m even making blog posts. I mean to put actions to words; when I said I wanted a return to indie websites, webrings and all of that, I didn’t want it to just be me talking air, so here I am. We’ll see how long I can keep this going, and if I can make it a habit. I like the idea of writing, but forming a habit to write has been a challenge.

Fortunately I have a few ideas in the can that I’d love to share with you via this blog. More general stuff, thoughts and reviews. My newsletter would be similar in nature albeit likely a truncated version. And Patreon is where all the behind the scenes and bonus/early stuff will go. At least, that’s my general plan, with the ultimate goal of maintaining being a working artist. So join me! Bookmark this page and add it to your RSS feed if you’d like! If you don’t know what that is, Jey Pawlik has a cool mini guide on how to set one up for your browser. I use feedly!

Anyhow I am off to ring in the new year. I’m happy you’ve taken the time to read this far. It’s nice to meet you if we haven’t!

Happy New Year,

Volt
