I had a lot to mull over and slipped into my inner writer mind. ^^’ You’re very welcome! I see it as that there’ll always be naysayers just like how there’s people who don’t know how pregnancy works in your world even though it’s not that difficult to understand, it’s the same in the animal kingdom but I digress. The important take away comes from how more people clap back and support your art for what it is. Just because you’re it’s “different” doesn’t mean you’ve lost your quality, it improves every day!!! If I could make a suggestion, have you considered making separate work that’s more serious and dynamic? Like a short story or if you needed to draw it maybe a new character similar to how you use Olivia? Or a new canon perhaps? These are just brainstorming ideas I know you’re plates are already full. It could be therapeutic to write something more serious and dramatic, if something is at least written wether for yourself or to share with us it would get that off your chest in a way which from a creative standpoint is a healthy way to clear ones mind.

2021-09-30 00:18:52 +0000 UTCWow, I was not expecting such a detailed response! And thanks for the kind words XD It's been surprising seeing people clap back at naysayers with this Ask page. Part of me was like 'are people still hung up on this?', but I was pleased to see a lot more responses to them showing support for it. I think ultimately it's a thing where I want to tell the stories I want to tell without alienating an audience. I've primarily made my name on short, funny smut stories, so when I want to lean into more serious, dramatic content, I tend to get some pretty strong pushback from some corners. The cuckolding stuff is similar, as I keep it tamer than most, but even that gets strong negative reactions. I almost feel like I have two very distinct audiences that want vastly different things. Its a balancing act, for sure XD

2021-09-29 23:56:02 +0000 UTCI apologize for my ignorance, I remember way back when you announced and started the, The Londoners webcomic, I even remember that you said you wanted to develop the characters further outside of smut and really get to know them more personally. Definitely a complicated situation, I wasn’t a patron back when SASA was being made so I didn’t know that others didn’t like Puz being jealous. Personally it would make sense for Puz to be jealous given how they were still a young newly committed couple. Like anyone can say they’re fine with being an open relationship it’s different to see it in action. I’d be lying if I said I loved cucking when Dirty Talk came out, and at first I was much of a fan of it, but they’re your characters and your can have the do whatever you want. Truly it’s admirable that you kept this kink going and expanding on it with side comics and novel collaborations to give even more insight into to Night & Pats strong and supportive relationship. Your portrayal of the cuck kink is mild from others I’ve seen and I’ve read some pretty harsh cuck hentias and manhwas that honestly have made me depressed given that it’s meant to be unapologetically mean. Comparatively I get excited whenever we learn about Nights dom life before Pat, like “Nightly Tutor” the the follow up with them at the summer beach house. What I learned to notice from the cuck play and compare yours to others is wether subtle or told I can clearly see that the love they have for each other makes them stronger. It’s a good slow burn story of their cuck play, first Pat is apprehensive in the beginning, curious and experimental and finally seeing how happy it makes Night feel given that she can openly share here past experience so open and pure to Pat. It’s really good, I went through the same journey as Pat and found a great amount of respect and appreciation for Night. When it comes to dirty talk in general I have to shake my head at those people, there’s nothing wrong with it. So what if it’s Night talking dirty? It would be more weird if she didn’t, it’s important that a dom communicates with their sub, there are people who get off more from dirty talk then from sex! Words are powerful and stimulate the senses, best I can say personally is I love your work and I’ll greatly welcome new stories with more dramatically complex characters and relationship issues, similar to the older comics when Night and Pat first met, I liked how Pat was nervous about Night being a carnivore it fit so naturally with the world you set up. There’s nothing wrong with comedic stories or no conflicts whatsoever but that could get stale especially for the writer I’d assume. I don’t know if there’s anything I could say about that- but I think you’re taking a very strong step with the complexities of Pleasure Principal and eventually telling the story of NightPatMark first real experience, that I and many others have shown enthusiasm and encouragement for this prequel comic. The vocal majority will, overtime become the minority. I’m not saying that they can’t speak their minds just that more people will clap back. It’s their opinion, if they don’t like it that’s their choice too but to send hate or rude nitpicking “questions” isn’t valid criticism. You have just as much a right to write your stories they way you want them, the creators happiness is very important if you want consistent high quality work. You’re a fantastic artist that respects and honors your fans and supporters, and many of them, myself included return that kindness.

2021-09-29 23:27:24 +0000 UTCThanks please feel free to use that shipping name :3
Ardyn
2021-09-29 22:25:39 +0000 UTCBut on a serious note, I did want to note that you bring up the characters aren't dramatically complex. I *do* want to write stories that focus on that, but I think my readership is more intent on comedy, and get rather put off when I even hint at drama or complexity with certain characters. I am moving ahead with it with Pleasure Principle, but I recall even showing a bit of anger or jealousy with Puz in the Share and Share Alike comic got people so inflamed I ended up reworking it to make her simply annoyed. I guess in a way it's rather troubling to see people get SO upset with something like Night cucking Pat, because I do it in a very mild way compared to what I *could* do. I could make Night far more dominatrix-like about it all, but people get really sad and upset if I have her even dirty talk Pat, so... I guess it puts me at a bit of an impasse because I want to go more serous with my stuff, but people seem to want it to be all happy and without conflict.

2021-09-29 21:53:35 +0000 UTCNightPatMark - that's clever XD
Kadath
2021-09-29 19:52:23 +0000 UTCIt really is, I’ve seen some really fucked up NSFW art that for me makes me nauseous to look at them. But god forbid your OCs specifically the females do too much hanky panky, kinda difficult when your cast is predominantly female wouldn’t you agree? It is nitpicking and not a valid argument to complain about your characters, it’s not like they’re written to be dramatically complex in what we’ve seen and that’s fine. If you want “complexity” then reading the novels add more character dilemmas but still promote the heart regardless. It’s annoying that this keeps happening but thankfully there are more supporters who do like Nightpatmark.
Ardyn
2021-09-29 17:14:07 +0000 UTCYeah, considering how much NSFW art is over the top and has impossible bodily things happen, and people just go with the flow, scrutinizing my OCs over risk of STDs just feels needlessy nitpicky.
Kadath
2021-09-29 05:53:18 +0000 UTCHe is a horse, not an ass- wait…. In all seriousness though I love how sexy kadath makes females and males, I really like Markus but Sebastian is my favorite!
Ardyn
2021-09-29 02:40:08 +0000 UTCIt’s also rude to imply that Night wouldn’t vet those she’s intimate with given her history. Or the other is I rarely if ever see or hear people complain about men sleeping around, talk about one sided! Lastly it’s a fictional world of anthropomorphic animals that enjoy life and have sex with a strong sense of humor to boot! Have fun with it, not everything has to be dark and depressing that honestly gets boring after a decade of that. As always Kadath great work as usual! Gets me even more excited about the prequel comic for these three!!! UwU
Ardyn
2021-09-29 02:35:05 +0000 UTCI wouldn't be surprised if those was some of the reasons. There's definitely a social stigma about women and promiscuity. I do notice it's only specific characters and/or specific situations that get these kind of 'concerned comments'. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a kind of passive aggressiveness towards the characters too.
Kadath
2021-09-28 20:03:24 +0000 UTCI think there are 2 factors here: First, there is the Abrahamic mindset of "she has sex with many men, so she is a slut and a whore and the Wrath Of God (who loves us all) will cause her to Suffer For Her Sins and be UnClean And Diseased", and the questioners are projecting that onto the comic. The second idea is that by telling the reader to "ask the cast anything", you encourage the reader to think of the characters as beings who exist. That causes the reader to wonder about the rules of that universe. You've addressed one such question - no cross-species fertility - but you've not addressed the other - the existence of STDs. I would respond with "unlike our blighted world, the people of my creation are not so damn hung up on 'sex is sin' (see previous point), and have dedicated as much effort in eradicating STDs by vaccination, quarantine, and treatment as they have on war, and thus STDs are all but wiped out."

2021-09-28 03:19:32 +0000 UTCAs a bisexual I am not only turned on by Nightshade being filled with cum but the detail put into Markus... damn look at that ass of his.

2021-09-28 01:49:31 +0000 UTCTruly the greatest take on the meme xD
Baltarus
2021-09-28 01:30:39 +0000 UTCIt is, unfortunately, the nature of humans, who are 99.9% chimps, to fling poo at that which they do not like and see as "the other". Ignore the unevolved smoothbrains.
Skunkupine
2021-09-28 01:21:31 +0000 UTCYou know, I gotta ask... what prompts questions like this? It's pretty obvious I draw smut comics. I'm one of many artists who do that. Is this a question you ask other artists? Is it just Night that concerns you, not Puzzle or Diamond or Olivia, etc.? I find it curious why *this* image prompts such concerns.
Kadath
2021-09-28 00:41:30 +0000 UTCso fucking hot

2021-09-27 22:28:52 +0000 UTCLOL yeaaaah pretty much XD
Kadath
2021-09-27 22:23:18 +0000 UTC"Hey! [Artist who is well-known for drawing particular kinks] is drawing [kink I don't like]! Better bitch at them in the comments about it! Surely that will make them change and only make art that I approve of!"
Mark
2021-09-27 22:03:08 +0000 UTCYou'd think these guys who are complaining would be used to this dynamic by now... this has not been a new revelation or anything, and complaining won't stop me from drawing what I enjoy XD
Kadath
2021-09-27 21:53:27 +0000 UTCJust gonna say it for the people in the back: Everyone has their kinks. If you no like, Ignore it. However if you DO like, make sure to praise the artist for their excellent Art and Work-Effort
No1isHere
2021-09-27 21:48:34 +0000 UTCYup, this. Also I figure Night probably has an IUD or something just in case.
Kadath
2021-09-27 21:32:58 +0000 UTC¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2021-09-27 21:32:35 +0000 UTCUNF!

Patrick Bradley
2021-09-27 20:13:49 +0000 UTCI didn't know that actually.
JustDraco1991
2021-09-27 20:05:36 +0000 UTCIn a previous ask, it was mentioned that in this universe, only species of the same family can breathe, so Markus wouldn't be able to impregnate Nightshade unless he were a canine.
SketchyBug
2021-09-27 20:03:00 +0000 UTCMarky made an oopsie. Trust me, it hurt me to write that as much as it hurt you to read it
SketchyBug
2021-09-27 20:02:15 +0000 UTCMy main question is how has Night Shade not gotten pregnant from the shear amount of cum Markus pumps into her?
JustDraco1991
2021-09-27 20:00:33 +0000 UTCI hate seeing Pat being cuckholded, but maybe that's just me. Love your artwork as always.
