I have so much to talk about with all of you, so let’s get started. I hope you’ll read every word, because this is a very important newsletter.
First, as 2018 came to an end, Riff and I looked over our numbers for “The Depths”. We averaged, according to our Google Analytics, approximately 3,000 page views a week, some up some down,, with at least 5,000 regular readers. Since August of 2018, we’ve had about 90,000 page ...
2019-01-10 15:53:26 +0000 UTC View PostI'll post a news segment tomorrow as "The Depths" begins its third year of production *^^* Lots to talk about and some changes are on the way.
The news isn't all good unfortunately, but I promise it's nothing earth-shattering or detrimental to the continuance of the comic in its current form or its schedule. <3
I'll share everything tomorrow. *otter hugs*
Sorry for the delay, everyone, but we both needed a break to enjoy the holidays a little. *^^*
But this page should make a LOT of people very happy, and much more action under the sea to come.

Riff, KJ, and I want to extend our warmest wishes to all of you this holiday season. We'll be posting a very special "Christmas" page either today or tomorrow, both here and on the website, but as an extra gift for everyone, you'll all get the high-resolution version, regardless of your pledge. <3
What's around the corner, you might be wondering...
Well, a few really promising statistics first. According to our Google Analytics, "The Depths" saw approximately 3,000 page visits ...

Sorry everyone, we had to re-post, missed a few odds and ends, plus the text should be perfect viewing now! *^^*

I don't mind saying this but I really am sometimes glad I was an only child. *^^*
I'm sorry about the slap. It was needed because, well, you'll see in a little bit...
Poor Malana...so many conflicting emotions now... =(

Yes, I'm aware of the typo in grammar. *^^* It will be fixed in finished page ^^
Malana really has a lot of anger issues - and obviously guilt as well.
2018-12-10 14:49:38 +0000 UTC View PostThis short story features Maku, whose creator won the voting poll in November, and Malana, who happen to be two lovers in Bora Bora that actually know one another very well. A delightful alternate "The Depths" side-story, it's sure to warm your heart. <3
Thanks to MasterofWolves for the opportunity, and apologies for being a bit late this month. *^^*
2018-12-05 04:26:23 +0000 UTC View Post
Whew! Kalea's okay. <3 You can all breathe now...
So now we know...
Now you can understand perhaps Malana isn't trying to outdo Leilani for the sake of pleasing Jamie. Being the overlooked sister, maybe she just wants to prove herself, to prove she's just as capable as Leilani. It's the classic sibling rivalry story. *^^*
KJ and I worked out this little bombshell, but only after I looked over the comic one day and offered, "Say KJ...you know, we should make those two girls siste...

I do apologize for hiding some of the dialogue. *^^*
You'll understand why very soon.
Enjoy the drama! <3
2018-12-03 04:16:44 +0000 UTC View PostIt's VERY IMPORTANT to me that you all are on board with the new changes coming. I think I have tried very hard to:
1) Help make everyone, no matter what level, feel a part of the process and to see "The Depths" Patreon more like an exclusive club. <3
2.) Allow for discounts that certain levels can take advantage of.
3.) Provide supporter recognition.
4.) Giving everyone access into the creative pr...

Thanks for your patience, everyone. <3
A dramatic underwater fight is broken up by Kalea - but she's succumbed to the intense depths. Quickly, Malana and Leilani rush her to the cavern, and life-giving air.
Oh no! What will happen next?! =(

We hope to have everything done Tuesday. *^^*
For now, let your imaginations run wild.

2018-11-26 04:31:44 +0000 UTC View PostWith Thanksgiving weekend near, I'd like a little time to be with friends and family. *^^*
Hope folks will understand and I promise the next few pages will be quite a treat!

Well, here is the finished product from KJ. <3 I'm very pleased with it. Watching it from start to finish was very eye-opening and exciting - perhaps more exciting than the undersea battle currently going on.
Why is Malana acting this way? Why such a rush to please Jamie?
Stay tuned! <3
(Also, as hard-working as KJ was on this, we will still need a pencil artist very soon. If anyone has suggestions, I'm happy to receive them privately, but would prefer an artist come to me sp...

My deepest appreciation to Twinkle-Sez for his penciling work and hopes that his health recovers quickly. So now, it's Kino Jaggernov's show, unless we find another pencil artist. We'll see. Please excuse the delay. *^^*
It's about to get very hot and wild in the depths... <3

Undersea catfight in 3....2....1.... *^^*
2018-11-12 04:38:10 +0000 UTC View PostFirst off, due to health concerns that have come up for Twinkle-Sez lately, he needs to pull away from "The Depths" indefinitely to take care of himself. It's nothing too major but it's enough of a worry for me that I should take a little stress away from him to recuperate. *^^*
So, the burden now falls solely on Kino Jaggernov, but not to worry. If you've loved the comics you've seen done in the past, most notably "The Pet Project", then you realize the quality WILL NOT CHANG...
2018-11-11 21:48:41 +0000 UTC View PostSo Riff and I have been talking about what we can do to really get things going a bit better here, and while we are limited in talent, we are certainly not limited in ideas. *^^* As such, we invite everyone to look over these possible Patreon levels and offer some feedback to us.
