Hello to all my brand-new patrons! I have been tossing up whether or not to share this, but I thought it would be a good way to let everyone know that I am working on a short story.
What you see here is a story I began back in May 2024. I foolishly started drawing it before I figured out the ending. Iβve since gone back, re-worked the story, mapped out the entire thing and have begun drawing it.
The character designs have even changed. Since I've always kind of struggled to draw animals, I was tracing photos of my own dog. I ended up practicing drawing corgis until I settled on the design you see in the last image.
So, the upcoming story is not the story you see here! This is a draft version, the story has changed, but the concept is largely the same. What's the concept? Our main character, Cassie, meets a dog, and it's love at first sight (when I say βloveβ I mean the regular kind you feel for a dog, nothing weird). Cassie goes to great lengths to stay with this dog that is owned by someone else.
I will be releasing it on Patreon first, likely on the Gotchies tier and then progressively make it available on lower tiers before releasing the completed story publicly.
Anyway, big thank you to everyone reading this - new patrons, old patrons, temporary patrons, you all really keep me going. π
