CriKai Update Nov 17 '25

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday here's some updates:

I'm taking an online art course to level up my illustration making process and make even better art. It will not impact my weekly upload schedule since it's online and I can do it on my own time at my own pace.

The Thanksgiving holiday is coming up I'm taking a few days off of my day job so I can put more time into my art work and begin laying out Chapter 2 of Futaruto.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) I am posting a commissioned pinup ...

Letta Comic 1

Hi everyone,

Here's the start of a Letta mini comic. I'll have more WIPs of new artworks by Sunday.

Thanks.

Hinata Pinup

Hi everyone,

Here's a pinup of Hinata. Doing pinups like this helps me brainstorm color choices and get used to drawing the characters again before starting the comic. I have the main story beats figured out and will begin sketching pages later this month.

Up next I will have the first page of a Letta mini comic uploaded on Friday, just working on the last few panels.

Thanks!

CriKai Update Nov 10 '25

Hi everyone,

Here's some updates!

Big things are coming! The next chapter of Futaruto will be the most ambitious story I’ve worked on so far — and I'm hoping you be part of it from day one. Your Patreon support makes it possible for me to dedicate the time and resources this project deserves. Currently I'm making concept art for the comic and will begin sketching pages later this month.

I'm also chipping away at a really huge project behind the scenes fo...

Update to the Lite Tier and Annual Option

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a quick update about the Lite Tier here on Patreon. In two weeks (November 21st), the price for new members joining this tier will increase from $5 to $7.

If you’re already part of the Lite Tier, you’ll keep your current $5 rate as long as your membership stays active and you'll continue to get all the same benefits for supporting. In other words nothing changes...

Sakura and Hinata Pinup

Hi everyone,

Here's a pinup of Sakura, and a title drop for the next chapter of the comic. Hinata and Sakura will be the main focus of the comic.

Up next I will have a pinup of Poste and I will continue to work on the Letta mini comic.

Thanks and enjoy!

CriKai Update Nov 03 '25

Hi everyone,

Here's some updates!

I'm approaching the final stretch of finishing my commissioned comic. Afterwards I will take a break from taking commissions and plan to reopen in January 2026. Between now and then I will continue to work on my comics, including the next chapter of Futaruto. In the coming months I plan to tease a new large project as well. I don't want to say exactly what it is yet until I have more to show, but it will be something interactive that I think many ...

Pretzel Pose Letta Set

Hi everyone,

Here's a set of Letta! it's been a while since I've drawn her but she's still looking good!

I'm working on some new art this weekend and will have more to show later. Thanks and have a great Halloween and weekend!

Tsunade Painting

Hi everyone,

Here's a painting of Tsunade with an alt. I went with my classic painting style for this one.

Up next I will have a pinup set of Letta. This next one has a few alts so it might take a me a little longer. I'm aiming for Friday/Saturday but will post it earlier if I finish it sooner.

Thanks.

CriKai Update Oct 27 '25

Hi everyone.

Happy Monday. Here's some updates.

I'm prepping for the next chapter of Futaruto by drawing some of the characters that will appear. The next chapter will feature Sakura heavily.

For the free members, just a reminder that the first chapter is complete 100% and available on Patreon and also YNE at the links below. You get a lot more by subbing on patreon so that's the method I would recommend. I'm doing all this in my free time but would like to eventually make c...

Halloween Ivy

Hi everyone,

Here's a Halloween themed Ivy as a succubus! I asked the patrons on the Discord who I should draw for Halloween and the majority said Ivy so here she is. I was able to get it done a bit sooner than I thought I would.

Up next I want to finish the painting of Tsunade I'm working on. I'll work on it more this weekend and aim to have it done early next in the week. I will also be working on some new artworks, including the last page of my commissioned comic. I'll have WIP...

Del 2-Koma

Hi everyone,

Here's a Del 2-panel comic. I did the last panel first earlier this month and intended to finish this sooner but had other things come up, including the last few pages of the Tenten comic. But anyway here's the full thing!

Since Halloween is approaching I really want to finish up the Ivy pinup next. I will likely have it ready for a Friday post.

Thanks!

"Futaruto: Tenten's New Tool" Full Comic

Hi everyone.

Here's the full comic, complete and all together in a single post!

It was a lot of work making this as a solo creator. It got pretty difficult to keep it up every week along the way to be honest, but seeing how much people were enjoying it on patreon and online helped a lot! Thank you for all the support while I made this comic, it's great to know there are people who appreciate the hard work I put into my projects!

I'm going to wrap up my commissions and then b...

"Futaruto: Tenten's New Tool" Epilogue and Bonus Pinup

Hi everyone,

Here's a bonus pinup of Tenten and the epilogue page of the comic, which also serves as the afterword page. The comic is fully done 100% now so I can begin planning out the next one after my commissions are done. I will need a little break from weekly comics though since I've been doing this every week for over 5 months, not including the Ivy comic I made before this one. So that's nearly 10 months straight of making comics as a solo creator. It's a lot of work but I'm glad...

Lightspeed Dating Page 10 (Commission)

Hi everyone,

Here's Page 10 of the comic I was commissioned to draw. Huge thank you to the commissioner, Elementrexx.

Up next I will work on the afterword page for Futaruto and a Tenten pinup as well. I'm hoping to have all that wrapped up to post on Friday. Thanks!

CriKai Update Oct 13 '25

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday. Here's some updates. The comic cover is done and now I'm working on an afterword page for easier reading. Once that's done I'll post all the pages of the comic with the extras together in a single post. I'll also package it all for sale on YNE (the merch group I work with). While I'm wrapping up the final steps of this comic and before starting to draw and release the next chapter I would like to wrap up my commissions, which are almost done. I will also keep ...

"Futaruto: Tenten's New Tool" Cover Art

Hi everyone,

Here's the cover art for the comic!

I'm working on a few afterword drawings now. There will be a few drawings showing what Tenten and Tsunade are up to after the events of the comic. There will also be a little thank you section where you can have your username listed, immortalized as a supporter of the comic if you'd like. Just send me a DM by Sunday night with the username (patreon, discord, twitter, etc) you'd like to be listed as. Planning for the next chapter can...

A Naughty Del Drawing

Hi Everyone,

Here's a naughty drawing of Del. Got it done a little sooner than Wednesday so here it is early. I plan to add a little more to this to turn it into a little one-page comic, or mini comic as I sometimes refer to them. I'll have more to show on that later.

Up next I plan to have the comic cover for the Tenten comic done, most likely on Friday. After that I can begin planning the next chapter. I already have the main characters for the next chapter in mind, which I'll r...

CriKai Update Oct 06 '25

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday and Happy October. If you haven't heard yet this chapter of Futaruto is done! I'm working on extra content for it right now. Stuff like a cover, afterword page, and possibly some extra promo pinups. I plan to put all this into a single package, but for now you can read all 18 pages by joining the Lite tier. Thank you all again for sticking with me during the journey and an extra big thank you to fans who liked the comic and are looking forward to the next chapt...

Del Pinup Sketch

Hi everyone,

Here's the latest pinup of Del. Up next I'll work on the comic cover and start working on some more OC art. I'll have WIPs on Sunday, but don't forget I post smaller WIPs on Discord throughout the week.

Thanks and enjoy!

Tenten x Tsunade, Futaruto: Tenten's New Tool Page 18

Hi everyone,

Here's Page 18 of the comic! This is the last page for this chapter of the series. But don't worry there will be more after a short break from the series. After 18+ weeks of working on this I think I deserve a little break from this weekly series to plan the next chapter and make some other fan or OC art. I will need to make a cover and afterword page before this comic is fully complete, which I'll work on next.

If you've enjoyed this comic and would like to be listed...

CriKai Update Sept 29 '25

Hi everyone,

Update time. I took a slow week to recover a bit. I was being overworked at my day job needing to work overtime and ended up feeling a bit sick. It was a special case and hopefully won't happen again soon. Thank you everyone for the patience while I looked after my health. Anyway, time was a little short but I finished an OC drawing and worked more on the next page of Futaruto, even sketching up a cover for it. The comic will be fully complete in October but there will be m...

Del and Poste Car Pinup

Hi everyone,

Here's the pinup of Del and Poste I was working on, finally done. Sorry it took a little longer than usual. Between being in poor health and having to work overtime at my day job the last few days I was a bit shorter on time that I expected. but it's done! and I think it came out great. Hope you like it!

Up next I will work to complete Page 18 of Futaruto. Since I was short on time and don't want to rush this page I will likely have it ready to post early after the we...

CriKai Update Sept 22 '25

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday, time for an update. We're very close to the end of the current chapter of Futaruto. I plan to make more chapters in the future with break in between chapters for me to plan chapters and rest up a bit. I'm working on Page 18 this week.

I will be taking it a bit slow this week so I can take my time with this next page. I have also been feeling under-the-weather in terms of physical health so I need a small break to give myself time rest and recover. This n...

Tenten x Tsunade, Futaruto: Tenten's New Tool Page 17

Hi everyone,

Here's Page 17. I will plan to sketch up Page 18 this weekend, WIPs to come on Sunday. Have a good weekend!

Del Shark Pinup

Hi everyone,

Here's another pinup of Del. This started as just a quick sketch but then I started coloring it and rendering then added a background. I was thinking sharks are cool while I was working on the background so I added a shark. Sometimes art just happens spontaneously like that, but I'm happy with the result! Hope you like it.

I'm going to work on Page 17 of the comic now. I have quite a bit left but will likely have it ready to post on Saturday.

Thanks and enjoy! 2025-09-17 23:00:05 +0000 UTC View Post

CriKai Update Sept 15 '25

Hi everyone,

Here's an update. I'm working on new OC pinups focused on primarily on Del but featuring other characters. The Futaruto comic is also going strong with page 16 being completed last week. This chapter of the comic is nearly finished but there will be more in the future. I also released another page of my commissioned comic, Lightspeed Dating, which is also almost complete. Here's previews of the released artworks from last week:
