The lovely caricature of Leilani in that last panel. She's trying so hard to be seductive, like there's not a care on her mind, but...you can sense it, you can see it...she is defeated, and she is beaten in some ways. There is a past she is trying so hard to forget - and cannot. *^^*
Excellent job by KJ, and a very lovely page coming soon! <3

Well, we know a lot of you probably have a ton of questions now...
But can I just answer one? Yes, that's Leilani, and yes she seems not to have aged that much, and yes there's a reason for that. *^^*
We now return you to "The Depths", but not to worry.
"Wild Coast" will be coming back AND will be hosted with "The Depths", so you can read both comics online. *^^*
2019-08-09 15:11:09 +0000 UTC View PostWe wanted to add one more tier, for those that wanted to do just a little bit less than the $5.00 already offered, so people are welcome (if $5.00 is too much lately), to drop down one more tier if needed.
But we really just want to accommodate as many people as we can, especially with a brand new story arc coming up (which you've already seen a glimpse of, and from the consensus, we would say you all our pretty pumped about it!), some side-comics still on the way, a merchandise s...

2019-08-06 03:17:09 +0000 UTC View PostAnd that's your sneak peek for the month. *^^*
NEW PAGES START AUGUST 12TH!
There must be several questions and we understand. This isn't honestly how we planned the webcomic to go, but you'll find, when you start your own webcomic someday (or even a novel) that as you write forward, you find yourself looking back, and that's when you get even more ideas you would never think of, and in some cases, it will turn out they're even better than the ones you originally had.

2019-08-05 22:05:35 +0000 UTC View PostWe owe you all so much for standing by our side for another month.
Thank you. *wet otter and mare hugs*
What can you expect this time?
New characters, new storylines, new savage adventures, new love interests. "The Depths" is going back to where it began, and a lot of amazing, exciting things are about to happen...
Set your calendars. A new page comes August 12th. <3
2019-08-02 01:39:27 +0000 UTC View PostWe bet everyone's wondering at this point just how "extensive" are Kalea's powers and when did Malana become such a ruthless warrior...?
Well, it's a long story...and we'll begin that story August 12. *^^*
2019-08-01 11:56:51 +0000 UTC View PostWe'll give you all a chance to pick your jaws up off the floor... *^^*
As promised. ^^

Also, big news everyone! "The Depths" is coming back starting August 12th, as you know, but we'll also be posting some sneak peek pages of script for you before then! <3

Also, some news. We are tentatively re-starting "The Depths" August 12th, barring any other health issues. *^^* We have decided also to stick with KJ for penciling.
2019-07-24 01:56:38 +0000 UTC View PostWe thought folks might like to see what's coming next and we'll admit right now, it's not really what we expected either. *^^*
But that's why re-writes exist! <3
And long sessions late at night with your co-writer to discuss plots.
Anyway, offer your comments, of course! We'll answer everyone.
It appears Ailani is talking to another otter.
Who lives in a hut...
Hmmm. Who could that be? *^^*
Art and story: KJ ^^
Coming up: Some sneak peeks at the NEW "The Depths" story! <3
That's...pretty much it. *^^*
A few added perks, including cameos (of which there will be MANY this time), and chances to have characters in minor roles!
Plus, if you need something you'd like to see advertised at no extra charge on "The Depths" site, that is also available for you. I've limited the tier to ten people, so hop in if you'd like. We've got a new pencil artist starting in August sometime, so funds are very important.
Again, thanks for all of your support. ...
2019-07-16 13:59:06 +0000 UTC View PostWell, we're halfway through our hiatus, and writing quite a bit day by day. As inspiration strikes Riff and I, we stop, turn our laptops on, and start writing down notes. As we're writing, we look at each other, smile and think, "This story arc is going to make "Dark Reflections" seem like Tommy Wiseau's "The Room". *^^*
That's how awesome this story is so far, and we're dying to let Patreons get a sneak peek.
Just give us a bit longer, and then we're going to grace you all with s...

Kalea Wet Otter Pounce Go! *^^*
75 labors of love, really. I can't believe the first story is already done, and I'm sure you're all waiting to see what incredible adventures await these four. *^^*
That will unfortunately have to wait for just a little bit. Starting next month, we change gears and bring you all a one-off short-subject comic spinoff of "The Depths" called "Wild Coast", and it features among it's group of lovely ladies, a direct descendant of Leilani herself. While t...

Panel 1:
[Leilan and David smile and wave from the boat deck, leaning just slightly over the rail.]
CAPTION: A few days later…
Panel 2:
[David starts to nuzzle her neck affectionately, while Leilani churrs with delight and her eyes close.]
Panel 3:
[David stops nuzzling as he sees Malana looking at him none too kindly from beside Leilani.]
Panel 4:

KJ absolutely nailed this. <3
At the last minute, we decided this would work perfectly as an old-time sepia photograph from way back in the day, nearly 100 years ago...
Very nice idea we had for this page.
This is going to be a photograph, taken in sepia colors. June 7, 1922 <3 Kalea is giving the service while Malana seems...well, concerned. *^^*
Again, the non-Patreon who thought they were saying goodbye is in for a big shock.
Art by Kino Jaggernov. We're indebted to this masterful artist's work on this page and we can safely say we're one of the most beautiful webcomics on Earth right now. We challenge people to say otherwise!

Missing the dialogue, but it's coming along very nicely. <3
Also Panel 5 I don't think Leilani has looked more cute. <3

So romantic. *^^*
Of course Leilani will say "yes"!
Surprise, surprise... *^^*

THE DEPTHS: PAGE 73:
Panel 1:
[The two lovers lie naked in the surf, Leilani laying atop of him and smiling, caressing his cheek, as David touches her breast and smiles back.]
DAVID: Leilani? I know I asked before but…I-I’m asking again. Please marry me.
LEILANI: Why?
DAVID: Because I love you. And I can’t see me with anyone else. Not ever.
