Kinda Background StoryWIPHuh, the origin of this picture is, once again, a pretty random combination of ideas that came together all at once.
The words "don't chop off any body parts or kill him" have been murmured to me recently, and obviously, the very first place my thoughts went was the mouthwatering realm of gastronomy.
I've also been quite curious - for research reasons - about both overall satyr-anatomy and some of their more characteristic features located in that nebulous space between the knees and the navel, where the dick and the balls come to meet - for research reasons.
And so I simply threw all that together and called it a day.
And no, I dunno about the nature of that book and whatever forbidden content it might contain, but I'm quite sure that in the right hands it could quickly become an extremely threatening tool of power and destruction. But luckily it is in Kat's hands right now, and he's both too stupid and lazy to do anything like that. Besides, he can't read anyway, so he's just looking at the pictures and drawings and discovering plenty of stuff.
Did you know that Pan's a notorious goat-fucker ?
Well, Kat didn't know. Now he does.
And did you know that in human astrology, Kat's a capricorn ? Well...
Tech CrapWIPInitially, I wanted to use Titian's "The Flaying of Marsyas" for the front cover :

I thought it had the perfect ambiguity for that dumb cook/cock joke I was making, but then I also got worried that it would be a bit too much and broke the lighthearted tone I was going for, and finally I dropped the idea. Didn't wanna upset any satyrs afterall.
And so I used it for the back cover instead ! :D
