Hi all,

I started a new thread for my 3rd project (second actually), after Velvet Bloodline and Juno’s Summer Sins .


This story has a different style and pace—set in another era, with new characters and a new plot. As usual, it’s a slow-burn cinematic story, but things will get hotter starting with Episode 2, as you’ll see.


It sits somewhere between the slow tension of Velvet Bloodline and the more direct approach of Juno.


Hope you enjoy.

Recap – Episode I: The Birth​

Rome, 91 BC.


The birth of twin heirs should have secured the Empire… but instead, it created fear.


With the Empress dead and the Senate whispering, Emperor Decius makes a brutal decision:


One of the twins will be exiled. Hidden from Rome.


Not all agree.
Not all will forget.


And some… are already planning their next move.

Recap – Episode II: Shadows Reunited​

The Empire moves in silence.


After the Senate’s pressure, Emperor Decius sets his plan in motion. A secret mission is given—one that must remain unseen.


That mission leads to Tiberius Petronius, a former legionary turned lanista… and to a reunion long overdue.


Two brothers.
One choice.


Help the Emperor…
or walk away.

But they are not alone.


Naomi listens.


And in Rome, secrets never stay buried.

Episode 3 — Whispers in Ostia begins today.


This time, we leave Rome behind…
and step into the port of Ostia, where secrets move quietly—and those who hear too much often pay the price.


A hidden meeting.
A senator who listens more than he speaks.
And a woman whose role in this game is far more dangerous than it seems.


New characters.
New plots.
And the first real signs of a network that reaches deeper than expected.


I won’t say more—you’ll discover everything as the story unfolds.

Note:
For this episode (at least for now), I’ll post the clean version first, followed by the sepia-style variant.
I’m currently refining the sepia tone to better match the atmosphere I want for Imperium.

Quick update for everyone

Starting next week, I’m switching to a new schedule across my platforms (Patreon, SubscribeStar, and Ko-fi) to deliver bigger drops, a more consistent flow, and more content per week across the main stories.

New Weekly Schedule​

• Monday: Velvet Bloodline (main post)
• Thursday: IMPERIUM (main post)
• Wednesday: Juno’s stories and/or extra releases (like finishing Scene 5 & 6 remakes)

What changes?​

Until now, the weekly rhythm was:

• Velvet: Monday + Thursday
• Imperium: Tuesday + Friday
• Wednesday: Juno’s stories and/or extra releases
  With posts averaging 7–8 renders each.

From now on, I’m reducing the posting days for the two main stories, but increasing the size of each drop to around 20–25 images per post.

What you get?​

• Main stories weekly total: ~40–50 images/week (instead of ~28–35/week)
• That’s roughly 160–200 images/month from the two main stories alone
  (not counting Juno, remakes, previews, or other updates)

Why the change?​

Switching day after day between different stories—different settings, formats, tone, and text—is extremely difficult for one person to manage. I’m not a studio. Those extra 2–3 days of focus before switching projects are incredibly valuable and will improve consistency and pacing.


Hope you enjoy the new format and the new calendar.

What to Expect in Episode 3 - Whispers in Ostia​

Far from Rome, in the restless port of Ostia, the game of power takes a quieter… more dangerous form.

Naomi, one of Senator Varro’s informants, delivers fragments of a conversation she was never meant to hear—whispers about Tiberius, his brother Petronius, and a mission still undecided.

But information always comes at a price.
Varro reminds her of that… using the one thing she cannot risk losing—her sister.

Bound by fear and purpose, Naomi obeys.
Not for him… but for what she hopes to protect.

And while Rome remains unaware, the first threads of a deeper plot are already being pulled.

Some whispers… will soon become consequences.

 

[Julien Blacke]

The whispers from Ostia grow darker.


Varro doesn’t simply gather information… he extracts it.
And Naomi finds herself caught between duty and something far more personal.


What started as quiet rumors now begins to take shape—
names are spoken, intentions hinted… and a hidden movement starts to surface beneath Rome’s calm facade.


But in Imperium, nothing comes without a price.

 

[Julien Blacke]

Episode 3 — Whispers in Ostia is now complete.


What began as quiet whispers in the port of Ostia has turned into something far more dangerous.
Hidden meetings, shifting alliances, and decisions that will soon reach Rome itself.


Varro and Sextius move from shadows… to intention.
And the consequences are only beginning.

Quick update for everyone following my work:

Ko-fi has permanently closed my account after what they called a “third violation”… over a single image that was already censored (attached).

I’ve already appealed, but I’m not expecting much at this point.

So from now on, if you want to support the project or get full access to scenes, everything will continue on:

SubscribeStar


Thanks to everyone who’s been following, supporting, and sticking around — it really matters.

More coming soon.

Episode 4 — Silk and Sand

After the shadows and whispers of Ostia, the story now moves toward a new stage.


Inside the imperial baths, Emperor Decius enjoys the luxury and power of Rome while Camila settles deeper into her new position within the imperial court.


But far from marble halls and silk sheets, another path begins.


The Emperor’s son starts his long journey toward exile in Egypt—across dunes, heat, silence, and uncertainty.


Two worlds now move side by side:

• one built on luxury and influence
• the other on distance, survival, and fate

And both are heading toward consequences that will shape the Empire.
