July Announcements
Added 2020-07-01 22:00:16 +0000 UTCIt's July, which means we're officially halfway through The Year of Hell that is 2020. Wee!
I'm going to get serious here for a sec and address something has been on my mind recently. I'm not terribly enthused by the number of 'I swear if you don't have Rory boink Tracy in the next couple of pages, I'm gonna drop my pledge or never look at your art again' or similar type of (what I hope are joking) 'threats'.
As you are very aware, there's a pandemic going on. Everyone is stressed. A lot of people are relying on content creators to entertain them. This puts even more pressure on people like me, who are trying to make a living through self-employment and also entertain people who are stressed out. To threaten my livelihood because I'm not immediately satisfying demands in a goofy smut story is not really something I want to endure on top of all the other stresses I'm handling.
On one hand I'm pleased readers are invested in these characters and the suspense is driving them wild (as intended), but on the other, threatening me over it isn't something I care for, whether meant in jest or not. It's bad taste. Have faith I know what I'm doing and I'm very well aware what people are wanting to see from me.
I consider DDD a smut comic and I'm not saying I won't deliver the smut, but I also want my stories to be more than just showing holes getting filled. I am interested in building character dynamics, because it's fun, and to ignore that for a quick fix would make the stories feel stilted and not nearly as satisfying.
So, please have patience. I know what you want to see, but I also have to make the comic creation process interesting for myself or I'll get burnt out.
Dynamite's Dating Dilemma
Things are definitely reaching their crescendo. What will happen next? The cat's out of the bag this month!
Nightshade Project
I got delayed on this. I might work on it this month, but I'm not sure. Depends on how hot it gets (which typically kills my productivity).

2020-07-10 23:59:41 +0000 UTCI just became a patron of you because of the thought out stories and sweetness in the puzzle stories. Smut is easy to find you do you and keep up the good work
Greywolf
2020-07-10 23:33:49 +0000 UTCExactly! The way you're handling something like losing ones virginity is so well done. The best part is how trustworthy of Rory she is, your writing and characterization of this whole situation is beautiful and adorable that even if you decided that her anxiety kicked in if she saw 'lil dogo, she asked Rory to stop and just cuddle i'd love and welcome such a strong and realistic portrayal of sexual anxiety. No matter where the story goes I'm loving each update, you're a great artist, writer and person and I'm looking forward to every other comics and stories you make. ^^

2020-07-06 01:52:23 +0000 UTCThank you - and I'm glad you're pointing out that a lot of this comic is about learning who Dynamite is, and seeing all these aspects of her that make her a more well-rounded character, and distinct from the others. In fact, a big theme of the story is *how* she compares herself to the others. I think some of that is lost on people and they just hyper focus on her getting deflowered. In all honesty, her being more developed makes it more exciting to see her love live blossom X3
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:45:49 +0000 UTCAw, thank you!
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:43:35 +0000 UTCYeah SASA took years, and I remember getting a lot of pushback on that comic not getting to the good stuff early enough, too. It's the nature of one guy working on a comic at a weekly basis. It just takes a while X3
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:43:20 +0000 UTC^_^
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:42:40 +0000 UTCThe comic's only around 40 pages so far, and a *lot* has happened in it, but I guess it's the nature of reading something one page a time, over weeks and months, it just makes it feel like it's forever. In reality, it's going lightning quick (like a cheetah lol).
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:42:32 +0000 UTCOh wow, thank you! :3
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:41:53 +0000 UTC:O
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:41:23 +0000 UTCI think attention spans have gotten shorter over time X3
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:41:19 +0000 UTCThat's a bit much XD I already got some apologies after posting this, so I think that did enough lol
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:41:01 +0000 UTCIt's definitely a balancing act. I wish I could pump out multiple pages a week, but I'm already exhausted doing 4 pages a month on top of my other workload XD
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:40:30 +0000 UTCI try to develop my characters so they're fun to revisit over time, instead of just being one and done type of deals, and I'm glad others feel the same ;3
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:37:29 +0000 UTCThank you
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:36:50 +0000 UTCThe wait just makes it all the more exciting, imo!
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:36:45 +0000 UTCI mean, I like to think they were kidding, but it's kinda not cool all the same. It's like people don't know I know what they want me to do XD
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:36:23 +0000 UTCThanks Mustard! You're the best condiment :B
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:35:51 +0000 UTCI'm glad! I put a lot of effort into trying to make them relatable ;3
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:35:42 +0000 UTCIt's stressful enough being a content creator on the internet, and it's compounded with people bored/stressed because of stay-at-home orders, so they want entertainment. I was going to go on vacation before the pandemic hit so I'm constantly burnt out *and* trying to make everyone happy. It's tiring XD
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:35:27 +0000 UTCAppreciate it!
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:34:15 +0000 UTC:3
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:34:07 +0000 UTCIt's a double edged sword sometimes lol
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:34:02 +0000 UTCIt's hard to please everyone, and ultimately I just gotta do what I feel is best, despite how loud certain people may be X3
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:33:48 +0000 UTCYou're up to your heels in this :B
Kadath
2020-07-05 23:33:13 +0000 UTCYour storytelling is what made me a fan since I discovered your comics back when I read coffee meet and loved the characters immediately. Good build up and comedy and enjoyable smut, from then on I looked forward to seeing what you’d make next. I remember reading each new installment of SASA part two and my heart pounding so fast with excitement for Seb & Puz! I love each comic you make, DDD was a pleasant surprise to get more time with Dynamite and learn more about her then just being the “shy” one. I love how she’s into heavy metal and her social anxiety is highly relatable. All in all your work is phenomenal and very well written, with a wonderfully diverse cast of characters and personalities. Thank you your hard work and love for character and story then easy smut, nothing but love. ❤️
Ardyn
2020-07-05 08:58:37 +0000 UTCTo quote a line from John Wayne’s movie “The Undefeated,” “You’ve got me whether you want me or not.” You’re one of the best artists that I have ever come across, and I love reading your comics. If you need anything or want any help, just let me know and I’ll do what I can.

Jason
2020-07-02 13:21:24 +0000 UTCI was looking back the other day and realised this comic has been 18 months in the works so far. So what? SASA took about 3 years and was worth every week! You keep doing you Kad :)

JsTheWolf
2020-07-02 08:44:24 +0000 UTCYour writing and story planning make your comics far better reads than most other furry artists. I have three physical comics from you because of it and I usually don't get physical furry anything. Please keep up how you do your work I love supporting you
Arty
2020-07-02 05:42:41 +0000 UTCGeez. I tell you. Some people don’t know the word ‘patience’. You take your time with that ‘Dynamite’s Dating Dilemma’ comic you’re working on. I don’t mind waiting. I’ve got good patience. Hope you’re doing safe and well by the way. And yeah. I wish this whole pandemic thing would go away soon so that we could get our lives back to normal.

2020-07-02 03:25:50 +0000 UTCOh that's awful people have said that! It's much more fulfilling if there's buildup, and comics take time!
WolfPsalm
2020-07-02 02:09:23 +0000 UTCYou should invite people who threaten to drop support if you don't take the strip a certain direction to enact what they would wish to see happen on their own, preferably with improbably large objects wrapped in razor wire and dipped in OC pepper spray.
Skunkupine
2020-07-02 01:27:53 +0000 UTCAs above. I am a long time RPG nerd and character development is my bread and butter. The worse thing about DDD is it comes one page at a time. Well that is kind of how you draw things. One page is not a lot of development. In terms of the pages this is developing very quickly.
Garry Stahl
2020-07-01 23:47:15 +0000 UTCI apologize for earlier.
Lord Washington
2020-07-01 23:42:19 +0000 UTCHonestly I pledged mainly for the fun writing and characters, smut is easy to find but well told stories and really well done character interactions are a hot commodity these days. Just keep up the great work I’m sure whatever comes next will be well done and entertaining
Pokitlint
2020-07-01 23:22:32 +0000 UTCKeep up the great work, Kad. If Dynamite could wait this long to get some, we can wait a little bit longer.

2020-07-01 23:11:14 +0000 UTCI've seen the comments your talking about and fr fr those people need to grow up. All things come in good time some people need to learn to enjoy the ride and be patient. I enjoy the fleshing out of your stories.
Diego Ortiz
2020-07-01 22:49:58 +0000 UTCI subscribe to your Patreon BECAUSE you add substance to your stories and characters. Keep up the good work!
Mustard
2020-07-01 22:43:26 +0000 UTCI agree! I’m more into the story telling of your comics than just the porn stuff x3 I’m curious to learn more about all the characters
Imdaman20
2020-07-01 22:28:43 +0000 UTCI am enjoying the DDD romance. It's nice to see. I enjoy your work your art and the effort that you put into it. There have been some tough times in your neck of the woods and I and hoping for a return to normalcy and for happiness for you and yours. We may not see eye to eye on certain things but I will continue to be a Patron because I enjoy your art and wish for your success. You have my continued support. ☕️

Shae
2020-07-01 22:10:57 +0000 UTCHonestly it’s the usual pairing war crap. It’s so annoying sorry that you have to deal with it, but like you said it just shows how your fans are invested in the characters.
Memerk
2020-07-01 22:07:14 +0000 UTCSorry about the that things. Some people can never be pleased with what people give them. Just know I'll be here to support you no matter what route you choose. As I said before. I'm glad that I'm able to support one of my favorite artist. Keep up the good work.
