Reminder that this is a real, actual comic I’m writing. ^_^; It’s interesting how, when the speech balloons are off, it looks like Samsid is the one being entirely unreasonable in the last panel.
A few things! I mentioned this on the home page but forgot to announce it here – a little while ago, I finally got a chance to put up the fanart/fan creations gallery on the home site! Check out the “extras” tab or just click here. The newest addition is a portrait of Merritt from the AWESOME Alakotila, who writes Spidersilk and Fell Swoop! I’m in the middle of binging Spidersilk and I highly recommend it! There’s thieves and ex-soldiers and high fantasy and an awesome bird-creature who makes me very very happy! But yes, please check out all the awesome artists in the gallery! And I’m always looking to add new stuff to it! 😉
Second, we had an interesting discussion on DOTU’s Discord server that somehow led to whether or not I’d take bribes. And I said no, but that was kind of a lie, apparently? So anyway, the gang offered to help collectively bribe me $500 to paint a fancy portrait of Troy with eyebrows, so uh… that’s the new Ko-fi goal. XD How badly do you want to see Troy with eyebrows? Bribe me here.
Third, February Patreon rewards are going out over the next few days! I’m going to try to get letters out today and the Secret Gallery illustration tomorrow. Another thing I mentioned on the Discord server was wanting/needing to do some NSFW practice for… reasons. So I’m gonna give it a try for the Secret Gallery illustration. Nothing super graphic, no full frontal, but trying to push the limits of what I usually do – and I am taking character/pairing/scenario requests because I’m having trouble deciding where to start! So yeah, if you have a request, throw it at me! Comment, email, or Patreon message! If you’re the first to suggest a particular thing and I use it this month or in a future month, I’ll send you the pic even if you aren’t in the Secret Gallery tier. (heh, if you’re into NSFW, this is where it pays to read my big walls of text. XD )
**Just to clarify, since there’s been a bit of questioning – DOTU has an R rating but not an “adult” rating, and that’s not going to change, and my extras would also fall into that R category. There hasn’t been a problem with any of the requests I’ve gotten, just some confusion that I wanted to clear up.**
This is also a month for the Sketch Tier, but I frickin lost two days to my stupid mysterious food intolerance issue last week (why always at the end of the month ;_; ), so with this being a short month, the sketches might go out just after the end of the month. It’ll be mostly card portraits again.
Don’t forget to vote on Top Webcomics! Click the TWC button below or in the sidebar. I haven’t been doing incentives since we really haven’t been anywhere close to a good spot at the 2x/month speed, but if things look like they’re more within reach next month, I’ll try to whip up a minicomic or something.
