Here's page 9!

I didn't charge for the orignal upload, so here's a new upload where the post is actually charging patrons. Will likely be charged for 2 pages this month, so if needed, adjust your pledges accordingly!

We're back finally! Will be posting about a page a month till completion. Thanks for sticking with us!

TL;DR: UPDATE ABRIDGED:

• I'm finishing up By the Horns then closing this Patreon
• By the Horns will continue to be a per-update pledge - you only pay when the pages come out.
• I have already opened a new, monthly subscription Patreon: Patreon.com/kihu
• The new patreon is an online gallery where I can explore my own characters
• Patreon.com/kihu will have sketches, finished illustrations, B&W comics, and some animations!
• I'll be updating a LOT because i dont have to worry about every little thing being fancy enough to charge my patrons for. That's the beauty of monthly!
• You guys rock for sticking with me on this delayed ride, I APPRECIATE YOU!

And now, on to the details...

Update on THIS Patreon + By the Horns:

Hi folks! This month I'll be prepping the next few pages of By the Horns and passing them off to my colorist, Chewy. She'll be handling them at her lesiure - with a big move coming up, I'm not setting any deadlines and they'll be up when she's ready to tackle them.

Once By the Horns is done (and printed and copies mailed out to those who have pledged for those tiers), this Patreon will be officially done! I'll be moving to a new patreon and a new format over at Patreon.com/kihu

Moving to a NEW Patreon

Over the years on this Patreon and my previous one, I have done a LOT of experimenting, a lot of trial and error, and figured out what does and doesn't work for Patreon. I've also pledged to a LOT of Patreons for artists I respect, and learned from the way they conduct themselves.

I've created a ton of characters and I'm really excited about making a space where I can create content that revolves around them. The new patreon has already started and is ready to go! You can check it out here: Patreon.com/kihu

In Closing...

That's about it! All the details on rewards, content, etc are on that new page. Here's hoping you guys are as excited about all sorts of new adventures with my cast of characters as I am!

This Patreon has been pretty much dead for a while, and I feel like I owe you guys a more specific explanation now that I've been able to get a bit of distance from the events that caused my absence. In august, I ended a 5 year relationship (two of those married) and needed to process that, find a new home, move, heal, and re-establish myself. I'm happy to say that I have a wonderful new home, I'm doing really well, I'm quite happy. and that every day seems better than the last. I'm genuinely looking forward to the future! Things were looking really rough for a while there, but I pulled through with the help of great friends and loved ones.

As always, thank you so, so much for being a part of this Patreon and supporting my work, and for being patient with me through a really rough transitional patch. I'm excited about starting fresh on a new page with the knowledge and experience I've picked up from this venture and all previous ones.

Cheers and here's hoping I see you over at my new Patreon! TTFN.

Gettin to the good stuff now... Chaz big.

Streaming page 7 inks!

Streaming sketch work for page 7! Come hang out and watch me work. I'll be around to answer questions and stuff in chat, too!

New page next month! Glad to be back. Thanks for your patience and support, you wonderful critters, you!

As always colors by ChewyCuticle - Patreon.com/chewycuticle

Available for $5+ patrons! Sketching out the next page FINALLY.

Come hang out while I work!

Hey folks! I was thinking about doing a lil holiday piece for this patreon since a full comic page isn't an option due to the collaborative nature of the process.

Here's a review of the options!

• A SFW, family christmas card "photo" of all my current characters. Think Awkward Family Photos.
• A NSFW pinup of one of my characters - If you guys select this option, I'll run another poll to see which character you'd like to see!
• Hold out till January when I'm able to get back at the comic - no post this month, and no charges.

Looking forward to seeing the results! I've set the poll to close TOMORROW since This is my only work week this month. Get those votes in asap!

Happy Holidays, y'all <3

Hi folks!

Just wanted to provide a quick update on what's going on with this Patreon at the moment, and why you haven't seen much from me lately!

I left for a week-long personal trip on Nov 21st - upon returning from that , I was home for about 20 hours, in which time i packed all my con supplies and took off for MFF! I got back exactly one week ago today and - after a few days of recovery - have just had my nose to the grindstone on commissions. I will have commissions available this week only, (shameless plug - join my telegram channel! t.me/kihucommissions)in which time I need to make all my bills for the month of December, as I turn around and fly out to see family for Xmas (unavoidable, unfortunately) on the 20th!

Additionally, a comic page was slated for this month in that short work period, but unfortunately my colorist, Chewy, lives in the fire danger area in California and was required to evacuate. Thankfully, She has since returned to her home, but due to a combination of computer issues before the fire and then the fire causing delays, needs all the time she can get to do exactly what I'm trying to do - save up for the holidays, focus on personal and family life, and make up for lost time.

January will be a busy month as well, as FC lies smack in the middle, and convention prep is always a tough time for big projects like By the Horns, etc. Speaking with Chewy I think we're both committed to at least a page in January, and I'm looking forward to getting back on the wagon.

Thank you all so much for your continued support and kindness, and I truly appreciate you all sticking with me through the radio silence and lack of content! I'll be back at it soon - life just sometimes gets in the way of comics :)

Cheers, happy holidays, and see you in 2018!

- Kihu

PS - One more post after this one - a lil poll about wether i should just do a simple illustration as a patreon image this month or just wait for the comic next month. Please make your voice heard in the poll!

- K

Page 5 is here! Dives is so... honest....

Huge thanks as always to Chewycuticle for the fantastic work on the colors!

And especially thanks to you guys for your continued support <3 Excited to keep at this 2 page/month pace for the rest of the year, I hope!

Keep an eye out for the polls for page 6 - I'll have em up shortly. Cheers n enjoy!

I just finished up and went to check patreon... I was wondering why nobody showed up ...The link I provided was broken! I'm sorry y'all!

I'm used to an empty stream when it was for $10 patrons and was feeling all discouraged that bringing it down to the $5 range hadn't made a difference... Well, I feel silly now. Sorry folks! I goofed.

I'll stream as much as I can next month for ya! Sorry for the mistake!

- K

Here's the first patron only stream since I made it available to everyone $5 and up! Hope to see ya there :)

Small change, but brought access to patron-only streams down from $10 to $5! Would love to have more folks in the streams, so figured this was a good way to do it :) Thanks for your support, everyone!

- Kihu

At this point I've got a pretty set story for what's about to happen, but it's time to start letting you guys decide how we get there!

Here's the first of the patron polls for the comic! It's a really simple one, but it will make a big difference.

So, after page 4, what happens next? Page 5 should be:

Note: both options will advance the plot. One just gives more detail and background on Dives (and his trinket & proposal for Chaz) while the other keeps the reader in the dark!

POLL ENDS AT NOON PDT ON SUNDAY, 10/22! (11:49am to be exact)

Just wanted to let y'all know I am putting together dropbox folders for the overdue patron rewards from the first four pages! Things got a lil mixed up when I had colorists swap over and in the hubbub of finding a new one I neglected you guys - I apologize deeply for that.

Regarding the rewards packages - I should have them to you via patreon message in November. (I'll be out of town and/or hosting family for the end of October and start of November, unavoidably & unfortunately).

Thank you all so much for your patience with this! Take care! You all rock :)

- K

Here's page four! Finally back on track. Huge thanks to ChewyCuticle for the colors on these!

One more page this month! poll for what happens next should be up shortly. See ya then! Thanks for the support!

Chewy's coloring page 4! Go check it out and get a sneak preview!

Here's page three! Finally back on track. Huge thanks to ChewyCuticle for the colors on these!

2 new pages next month. :) See ya then! Thanks for the support!

Join Chewy for coloring of page 3!

Here's page two!

Disclaimer: My colorist is no longer able to complete the comic. Page 1 and two will be fully reworked with the new colorist when I find one.

If you are colorist, or know anyone who is interested, this is a paid gig with professional standards. I expect 2 pages/month, from lineart to cel-shaded color (with backgrounds). Some backgrounds will be sketched, but most will be left to the colorist. tl;dr: the color style and quality must match my previous comic, Jumbo Juice, as they'll be printed as a back-to-back double issue.

If i'm unable to find a colorist I'll need to drop the release speed of these pages to one a month and I'll be doing the work myself, but I'd prefer to hire someone if possible!

If you are interested in this gig, please contact me via email at kihuart@gmail.com with a resume and examples of your work.

Thank you all for your support! Sorry for posting a version that will later be scrapped. Consider this a placeholder for the reworked page next month.

Cheers!

- Kihu

Page one is here!

I need your help!

If you can help me name this comic, I'll send you a free copy of the final print edition. (If you're already receiving a copy via Patreon, i'll send you another!) The idea is that Chaz here doesn't have the confidence to talk to Coop about how he feels. Dives steps in and, through his usual Dives fuckery (that nose ring from the ref sheet) Chaz mans-up and gains he confidence he needs to really go for it! Shoot me your ideas in the comments!

As always thank you so much for your support. Page 2 will be up shortly! (before end of the month).

Cheers!

- K

Here's page 4, that's it, for now... 1 or 2 more pages before voting on what happens next starts!

Here's page 3! Closet just wasn't quite big enough for chaz to stay hidden in there...

Pardon the disclaimers! Keeping this under tight wraps till pg1 goes up this month.

Finishing inking this one right now, finished colored post will be posted this month!

Again, pardon the big disclaimers, trying to keep this under wraps till I'm ready to publicly post page 1!

So it begins! This page is already inked and undergoing color!

Sorry for the big ol disclaimers, really trying to keep this under wraps :3

Sorry! Previous link was bad. Here's the correct one:

https://picarto.tv/Kihu/ab19fa6cb1bd398c3f76c6edd4d646c3

First look at the new comic! Come on in and hang out while I finish inking the first page :)

See you there!

Apparently my post was delayed and didn't get put up on time, so the post is technically an April post. I'll be sending out rewards/copies of the animation, .psd files, etc after payments have processed at the start of May.

Sorry for the delay folks! Thank you for your support.

Lil reference I made for myself so i can keep his shapes consistent!

Sorry for the delay with rewards, folks! It's now the 4th of the month and patreon has processed less than 5% of the total pledges for the animation - the rest are still pending. I will send out rewards as soon as everyone's taken care of!

Due to the delay, i'll be sending out rewards immediately after patreon attempts to charge everyone for the first pass. If your pledge declines, I'll message you, you can fix your pledge, and I'll send out your reward individually. I don't think it's fair to make everyone wait until the 10th or later when all the pledges have cleared! (would normally wait till the 5th/6th but that's because pledges process on the 1st or 2nd usually... still nothing on the 4th sooo?)

Thanks for your patience folks! Messaging Patreon support about this today...

- Kihu

Here's the animation! Enjoy :)

Hey folks!

I'm thinking about opening for a few patron-only commissions next month as a thank-you to those of you who support me here.

Please vote on the poll on commissions you'd be interested in!

If you're not interested in a commission, you can vote for which one you'd like to see me do!

These commissions would be posted publicly, but be available to patrons only. Less competition, easier to grab for you! (and probably discounted prices!)

If you think this isn't a good idea, PLEASE speak up in the comments! I value your feedback, especially if you feel I'm taking this patreon in a direction you don't like.

Thanks!!

- Kihu

Here's the keyframes. Will be adding in-betweens, re-inking each frame separately (so it doesn't get that "same lines, but moved" feel). Skye will be coloring it for us!

More work on this on Monday.

I'm kinda hitting some art block on comic stuff, so to get my creative juices going and provide all my lovely patrons with something, I'm going to do an animation! What should it be?

Final copy!

You can read more about Dives here

And more about Chaz here:

Hi res copies, WIP folder will go out once patronage is processed. Cheers & thanks for your support as always! Will begin sketching out comic in Feb - ought to have something for you to vote on by next month :) Consider this food for thought!

Hi guys!

Those of you who are still here - THANK YOU. I'm genuinely impressed you stuck with me through this dry spell and i REALLY appreciate it!

Where have you been?

Since roughly the start of November, I have needed to set aside artwork, save for just enough commissions to get by, in order to focus on what I suppose is my -other- business. In addition to the comics and online content I create and share here, on tumblr and twitter, I am pushing to make the transition into creating physical merchandise and apparel! Further Confusion 2017 (FC) was my big debut this year!

I debuted my Paw Socks , Stickers and Buttons , and a brand new dealer banner , table setup , and way of doing commissions at-con!

Thanks to the support of the fantastic community, it was a major success, and I am looking forward to Biggest Little Fur Con (BLFC) in early June as my next big vender expo.

What's next?

Dealer stuff? Done. Last comic? Done. So what now?

Next up, I'll be doing another short comic, similar to Jumbo Juice. These two comics will be printed back-to-back and Upside-down (i.e. so there's a cover with the binding on the left-hand side on both sides of the comic) and sold as physical copies.

This comic, however, will differ slightly from my last. I will still be writing, sketching, inking, taking care of lettering, editing, and onomatopoeia, HOWEVER, I will be bringing Skye on with me as a colorist! This will present no change to you or your pledges - I will be paying him out of the total you pledge to me, since the workload will be deligated & split!

What's Changing?

For now? Not much! I'm working on the first 4 pages of the comic (just like I did for Jumbo Juice) and then from there, we'll run it the same way, where you vote on what happens next for every page! (or at least every plot point... doing it per-page for Jumbo Juice kind of required me to wrap up ideas/actions within a single page... Might do it for plot points instead this time so I can spread ideas across more than a single page!)

After this comic, however, there will be a BIG change.

From here out, I'm going to focus less on SUPER REFINED comics like these, and lean towards rough sketches, which also may be colored by Skye. I will be changing this patreon to a monthly subscription fee, with tiered access to different kinds of content.

Here is an example of what that might look like. (note: each tier contains all previous teirs as well! Subject to change!!)

• $1+ access to my sketches & doodles, + voting rights for this content
• $5+ access to comics in B&W, + voting rights for this content
• $10+ access to comics in Color + patron-only stream access
• $15+ access to WIP material for bigger projects - sketches, lines, etc for comics, and more, tyour votes count double for comics and doodles.
• $20+ Entry into drawing for 1 custom sketch each month
• $50+ Entry into drawing for 1 custom full color piece each month + ??? dunno yet. Something good. Probably entails physical goods!
• $100+ 1 custom sketch each month plus all previous rewards.

So now what?

That's about it for now! I'll be rolling out info on the new comic asap - my first paid piece this month will be a finished and colored copy of the two character reference sheets for the comic! (will be a single paid post for both characters - you'll only be charged once).

Cheers and looking forward to getting started on this next comic with you! This one will be a bit longer, I hope. Looking at 8-15+ pages :)

As always, thank you SO so much for your support! Catch you soon!

- Kihu

Here's Dives!

For those of you who have followed me for a long while, you've already met him, but this comic should really flesh him out as a character, answer a lot of questions, and hopefully make you ask a ton of new ones!

Little is known about Dives, aside from scraps of anecdotal evidence he's left in his wake. A true chaotic neutral, Dives has a penchant for making trouble, especially when it serves his indecipherable personal agenda. He hails from a long line of Artifactors: occult academics, merchants, and collectors specializing in the school of alteration magic and the objects (or artifacts) enchanted with such magic.

Following a chance encounter with Chaz during one of his nightly prowls at the bar, Dives provides an attentive and friendly ear to the woeful bull. Never one to pass up a potentially adventageous situation, Dives makes an offer that appears to hold all the answers Chaz has been looking for... However, such propositions from Dives are never what they seem....

Heeeeere's Chaz!

He's a shy, awkward, naïve country boy of a bull. They grow em big out there!

Charlie (Everyone calls him Chaz... He hates it but is too bashful to correct them) rushes every frat and is denied, until he rushes Coop's frat, ΓEI (Gamma Epsilon Iota... the joke's in the phonetics) and is brought on board.

Unfortunately, Chaz doesn't quite have the self esteem or go-get-em attitude he sees in many of his frat brothers - ESPECIALLY around girls. And what would a frat be without a social hierarchy determined by sexual conquest?

Tired of sitting at the bottom of the totem pole, Chaz seeks alternative methods.... Enter Dives, sly and mysterious pine marten who offers him a chance to turn it all around, to be the man he always wished he could be, confident, bold... his true self. However, being more honest with others comes from being honest with oneself, and may lead Chaz down some unexpected new paths....

Daki! Nude version attached.

Will be for sale at FC 2016! Come visit me :) Patrons will receive discounts equal to their pledge if purchasing a daki!

<3

Thanks for your support! Next month will be busier, I hope!

- Kihu

Come hang out while i work on this! Will be available at FC 2017.

Patron only stream. Big banjo next month!

Lemme know!

Please follow the link and read in full! You are welcome to comment here or message me via patreon with your suggestions as well as using the contact methods stated on the linked post.

Here's the cover! :D

Public since I'm also using it to promote the digital/physical sales of the comic!

Hey! The comic's done! We did it! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH HALLELUJAH

Patron rewards will be coming in the next few days via your Patreon messages!

HD Copies: These'll be sent out via a dropbox link, per page! (if you weren't a patron for the whole comic in HD, you'll need to buy the HD copy of the comic separately when it goes up for digital download. Don't worry, it'll be pretty cheap and will come with the WIP material and a bunch of bonus content!)

WIP files: I'll be making a sketch, inks, and flats file for each page. You'll receive those in addition to whatever prelims, progress screencaps, scrapped ideas, etc I have in the folder for each page! SHOULD I INCLUDE THE LETTERING AND ONOMATOPOEIA IN THE INKS AND FLATS FILE? Please let me know in the comments!!

Physical Comics: Said this a few times but to make sure we're all on the same page: Anyone who pledged $10 or more for at least 3 pages will receive a physical copy when the comic goes to print.The comic will not be printed until I have completed another comic of the same quality (my next comic) to print with Jumbo Juice, back-to-back. I'll be sending out a google form to yall to collect shipping information when I send out your rewards. If your shipping address is liable to change in the next year or so, please provide an alternate address (i.e. a friend) so i can guarantee all is well! I can't expect you to stay a patron alllll the way through my next comic too, so in case we lose contact (i.e. if you leave patreon) I need to be able to get you your stuff!!

PSD Files: It'll take me a while to remaster the .psd files (trimming out blank layers, merging a bunch of stuff, labeling groups, and making them easy to navigate) so thank you for your patience while I work that out! These are also MASSIVE files so I will be trying to figure out the best way to get these to you... I'm not sure I have the dropbox space available. If I must upgrade, so be it, but I think I can find a better option. Maybe a free hidden item on my online store or coupon code or something.

EDITS TO THE COMIC: I'm going to go back to the first few pages and make some tweaks. I feel I improved the quality of the comic a LOT by the last pages, and I want to make sure it all looks as good! I.e. Coop's face in the first page, some of the inking, etc. I was going for a simpler, faster look originally, but decided to go all-out on detail by the end. If you have any edits to suggest or things I could have fixed in previous pages, please let me know in the comments! ANYTHING is welcome, just please make sure it's a feasible edit! i.e. i can't change the story or a pose or an angle, but i can edit parts of existing artwork, dialogue/words, expressions, background tweaks, etc!

THAT'S IT! Thank you for your support. I owe the success and entire existence of my first comic to you guys, and that's not something I take lightly. So again, sincerely: Thank you. Your support means a lot to me. I hope you had as much fun reading and participating in the creation process as I did making the comic!

Much love and best wishes,

- Kihu

Final Page!

Thank you all for your support. I'll post a more detailed write-up and thank you when I'm less exhausted uwu;

Cheers and enjoy!!

Just inks, then bedtime. Come keep me company!

- K

It continues...

Next to last page! Final page sketching starts today, and will be out by the end of the 30th. HOME STRETCH!

- K

Come hang out! Will be finished tonight - good chance to get a look at the completed page before it goes up :)

Come hang! Cranking out as much of this as I can today :3

Guys, I'm sorry to make a post about this but it's been an issue and I'm going to start actually doingsomething to help stop it.

If you sign up at a high value pledge, and then immediatelydrop your pledge to the lowest pledge available, I'm going to assume you're trying to sniff out high-end patron-only content and not pay for it.

That's not cool. I know it's a harsh response but I am going to begin blocking accounts that do this. It's dishonest and rude. Patreon runs on an honor system, and that's great, because a lot of people respect that and are awesome and honest about their pledges. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for everyone.

Thanks for understanding, and thank you to those of you who don't try to take advantage of and abuse the way Patreon works. I appreciate you and your honesty!

- K

note, if you just need to change your pledge, that's fine! I know money situations change - I've changed and cancelled patronage for some of the artists I support on here (different account than this one) - sometimes it happens!

Hi everyone!

We're on the last 2 pages of Jumbo Juice! (HOLY SHET) That's awesome. Y'all made it happen :)

Page 8:

• Will be sketched and begun as soon as 7 is done. VOTE ASAP. I can't set a deadline because i don't know my schedule yet! Just vote as soon as you can and if you go to vote and it's not accepting responses, well... you're too late, sorry! You should have till at least monday. Probably later.

COVER PAGE?

• Will be a public (full color included) post, but will be charged like a normal post for yall. Sometime early October! I am looking to publish the digital copies WITH the cover no later than the 10th.
• Voting asks for ideas on what the cover page should look like! Lemme know, i'll pick some faves, and we'll vote on what wins :)

That's it! Thanks a ton y'all! I should have page 7 up for you in a handful of days, and definitely will have page 8 out before Oct 1.

Hi hello and thank you to all my Patrons on here for being so patient with me these last two months!

FOR THE TL;DR VERSION, PLEASE SCROLL TO THE BOTTOM!!

I've been incredibly busy, stressed out, and positively hammered with art block, anxieties about my work, and general sad-boy, self-deprecating, 'ART IS HARD' issues. I know that excuses are not what you support me to hear though, so rather than that, I am writing you all for a MUCH more exciting reason:

That block is gone! (or at least beaten into remission for now)

I recently traveled to Camp Feral, my favorite event of the year, hands-down, and it totally revived my creative process, made me feel much better about my work, gave me new insight and direction for the comic, and TRULY put me in a much better place, artistically, emotionally, and spiritually.

This month, I will be focusing on completing Jumbo Juice, gathering all of my files, WIPs, .PSDs, etc and passing out rewards, creating cover illustrations, taking care of physical publication, and creating art packs/comic packs for online/digital sale!

My only work this month will be the comic and a Frenzy Stream... All of my other spare time is going to be devoted to beginning my transition into physical products! I am going to be selling a TON of new products to fill niches the fandom doesn't seem to have covered this year at FC (my products-dealer debut, if you will) and I'm extremely excited! I've already begun pre-production with several manufacturers in China (hence a lot of my slowness the last few months) and I cannot WAIT to start sharing my progress and little product previews with you all.

Concerning projects after Jumbo Juice... I think it is time to be forthcoming about my thoughts on the current comic. Though I'm quite proud of the finished product and would like to publish more comics of the same quality, the level of work involved on each page is simply too great for me to take on at the moment, and my attention span and desire to drawrather than fine tune, edit, and fuss with tedious details has really prevented me from completing the comic in a timely manner.

My future projects will be comics, yes. I LOVE making comics and want to make tons more! However, the majority of my future comics will likely be closer in quality to the sketches I put out for jumbo juice (cleaned up, of course) rather than the finished color pages you folks see here! This will, of course, result in a much different structure for my Patreon (likely transitioning to a monthly, pay-up-front Patreon, rather than per-creation) with tiers of availability for basic sketches, comics, then a few 'secret stash' tiers of personal work, high-definition digital copies, etc!

Anyhow, I'm still working out the kinks but wanted to send you guys a heads up! I WILL be creating another full-color, big production comic soon to go to print with Jumbo Juice for the physical prints, but between JJ and my next piece, I'm going to get in some practice on quicker, more fun comics, to focus more on telling stories I want to tell, than putting out high-polish pieces. I would rather let quick art suggest and tell the story and get the idea across than slave away at hand-painting a bathroom floor in the background of a panel that nobody's going to appreciate because it's time to move to the next panel.

THE TL;DR VERSION:

• I've been a stressy baby and have been super art blocked
• I went to Camp Feral and feel WAY better (amen)
• Jumbo Juice will be completed this month
• My line of Physical Products (streetwear, stickers, accessories, small electronics, prints, etc) debuts at FC2017
• This current comic has been WAY too polished for my tastes
• I'm going to be moving to quicker, more efficient forms of storytelling to focus on communication of ideas and stories rather than detail & finesse
• I'm still making BIG finished fancy comics, just need a break for other stuff
• Likely moving to monthly, pay-up-front, tiered patreon format (i.e. $1 for sketches, $5 for comics, $10 for secret stash & wips, $20 for early access orders on physical products... or something like this)
• I love you all and am very sorry I have been so hung up on Jumbo Juice and I'm really excited to finish it up!
• Keep your eye on this Patreon for final Jumbo Juice voting stuff this month!! HOME STRETCH!

Keep your eyes on your emails and patreons this month! I'm gonna be working fast which means there will be at least TWO big voting periods this month with VERY short periods in which to vote! (The longer I wait for voting results the less time I have to work!!)

MUCH LOVE Y'ALL! IT FEELS NICE TO BE BACK <3

Thanks for your patience, those of you who saw the placeholder image first!

Everyone else, ignore this and follow that link to go see the comic page! :3

Thanks a ton for all your support! This might be the most work I've put in on a page yet and I somehow cranked it out in 2 days...

Enjoy, guys! Page 6 next month, but not until you guys see my first COLOR ANIMATION! That'll be coming out mid month next month!

Have a safe and happy July 4, those of you celebrating!

Color till completion!

Come hang! Going all day.

Hi folks!

As a heads up, the print company I previously use will no longer be used! I am seeking another company currently, but for the time being, art prints will no longer be offered for standalone pieces.

Now, this doesn't really have much effect on anyone because I don't plan to do any single print-type pieces anytime soon (just comics, which will be printed through a different company anyway) but I just wanted to provide a heads up!

If anyone has any suggestions for companies that provide printing services AND fulfillment services that are cool with adult artwork please let me know! I would be very grateful.

Update: Page 5 of the comic is now totally sketched and inking is started. Hoping to have inks done by tonight so I can color and complete tomorrow!

It is likely that tomorrow will see a 'nearly done' upload that will be replaced sometime on the first. If you see an upload of a new page that's ~not quite finished~ don't fret! I'm just locking it in as a June piece and it will be completed within the next 24 hours.

Thanks for your time and support!

Cheers,

- Kihu

Here's the black & white version!

Color copy along with artist's notes can be found here:https://www.patreon.com/posts/5854829

Page 4 is here! Finally getting to the meatof this comic.

No? No. That was a bad joke. I'm sorry.

Anyhow, will be cranking out page 5 in the next couple days! Doing my damndest to get it done before the 30th b/c I have been nothing but artblocks and stress this month and I want that 2nd page this month done SO BAD.

Thank you for all of your support! Sorry for my silence and absence this month. Next month i'll be gone early July for a bit, but 2nd half of the month will be - again - almost entirely patreon work! Hopefully this time w/o international tragedies and personal issues getting in the way and royally f*cking with my headspace.

Cheers & keep an eye out for pg 5 before the 30th! Note: I may upload a 'placeholder' image for page 5 if i'm running behind - the finished product will be up before the end of the 1st at latest, I just can't financially afford to wait until early August to be paid for it. I hope that's understandable! I will likely have it done in time, but if not, little 24 hour loan out of the bank of Patreon... Just so there's full disclosure here.

Thanks again, all!

- K

Come hang! Patrons only :)

https://picarto.tv/Kihu/fa58eaf80fb016ff6524288b97c2b719

Working on inks tonight, will try to get em all done this evening!

Will be up late.

THIS STREAM IS NOW CLOSED - will continue progress tomorrow 6/23

The results are in! Here they are, broken down:

• THE COMIC WILL CONTINUE, AND WILL BE 8 PAGES TOTAL IN LENGTH
  
• Page 5 will involve the Puma character (should we name him?) pulling out.
• Since 90.4% of you voted for 'Multiple Orgasms for Puma" he'll pull out after climaxing for the first time (maybe before? those who voted to end the comic here preferred "finish outside, throw coop a life jacket or he'll drown" by just over 50%.Climax covered #1 covered on page 5.
• Coop will begin topping. I'll probably juuuust barely start this process on the bottom of page 5, and focus mainly on the first climax.
• Since 59% of you voted for excessive precum, i'll probably feature this on both Coop while bottoming and the puma before and after pulling out.

(gosh it's awkward to try to type this stuff up, i still get real bashful about it. Sorry if it sounds all weird and robotic!)

Thanks everyone for your contributions. We got 107 total responses! However, with 249 patrons on the last page I uploaded, that means that

MORE THAN HALF OF YOU AREN'T VOTING!

Make sure you are making your voice heard! I really want to make sure that I'm crafting this comic to YOUR tastes, so please, let me know what you'd like to see on the next round of voting!

Will be streaming page 4 to completion this week, page 5 next week (i hope!)

Thanks again as always for all of your support. Feel free to message me or comment here with any questions, suggestions, or feedback you may have! Cheers and don't forget to wish the father figures in your life a Happy Father's Day tomorrow!

Here's the link to vote:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1rwPNwgVfG3-DP9hoD46qxdB4y7e6GgzMGJ6JBH6Modc/viewform

VOTING CLOSES ON TUESDAY, JUNE 14! You have 1 week to vote!

NOTE: the voting splits into two different voting forms after the first question. The first question will determine which set of results I use!

(i.e. if you vote to end the comic but the majority of folks vote to continue it, your votes will not be included! Only those who vote for the majority side will have their votes counted. Sorry! This is the only way I know how to do this fairly!)

Thanks for your support! Happy voting!

- Kihu

Now things are getting started!

Thank y'all SO much for your support, and thanks for sticking with me through this slow month!

PLANS FOR NEXT MONTH:

• Page 4 Completed:
• Still based on the original 4 sketches, but will be edited substantially
• Setting a deadline for the 15th - will do my best to get it cranked out by then! Likely much sooner.
• Page 5 Completed:
• Your votes start to take effect here! You guys voted for:
• Big Cat topping Coop
• Belly Bulge/light cum inflation
• Some facial expression closeups
• Looking forward to working on this! Been looking at those same first 4 page sketches for almost half a year - REALLY excited to put out some BRAND NEW content!
• Page 6 voting!
• Pick what happens next! I'll have some pretty good options here - with a choice to extend the comic to 8 pages or kill it at 6!
• If killed at 6, will be a messy finish or "after" page for page 6
• If continuing, will be a vote for a new scenario to take up pages 6 and 7, then page 8 as the 'afterglow' page... but you guys decide what that means.
• Page 6 voting will open sometime in the next week or so! Hopefully asap!!
• Page 6 Sketching AT LEAST
• If i have the remaining funding (based on everyone's limits) i'll do my best to complete and post page 6. If not i'll at least post a patrons-only sketch!
• 
  

That's it folks! that's all I've got planned for now. Cheers and huge thanks for your support! <3 Y'all are the best.

SPECIAL OFFER: FREE SHIPPING

As an additional heads up, my WEREWOLF BOYFRIEND shirts are available as stickers and tanktops for a limited time (until june 7!) so grab one of those before they're gone!

Slow going this month!

Hopefully I'll be able to get 2 pages up next month, but it may not happen, unfortunately. Already had one visit home + BLFC planned for May, and now i'm taking an additional trip home in a few days due to a family emergency & funeral. I'll get as much done as possible. Thank you all for your patience!

Just about done! Doing flats, dialogue, shading, & post processing today.

Cheers!

Was considering making a sticker pack as a paid post this month! Maybe $10 each get to pick an expression or idea for a sticker, and $30 patrons get either 1 custom sticker of their character or to pick 3 expressions? Would let y'all vote for which character of mine to do, and crowdsource the rest of the ideas for the stickers.

I'm not sure if this is even something y'all would be interested in, though! Let me know in the comments! Almost everyone I know uses telegram, but what about you guys?

Note- if reading as an email, make sure to go to patreon and view the post to reply! I won't see email replies as the email is JUST a notification of my patreon post!

Due to the ridiculous number of declined pledges this month (17% of total pledged vs my 3% average from all previous months) I'm giving those declined one more day to fix their pledges, just in case it's an issue with patreon! It often is.

I will be sending out your rewards tomorrow, on the 5th to all processed (payment completed) patrons! Rewards this month will be for (in order):

• Coop X Zootopia Tigers - standard rewards!
• Coop Ref Sheet (Nude) - print level rewards will receive print store credit
• Jumbo Juice: Page 1 - print level rewards will be totaled up after the comic's completion. Those pledging at print levels for over 50% of the total number of pages will receive a free hard copy of the comic. Additional print-level pledges beyond 50% will receive store credit for the total value of all pledges beyond 50%.

For example: if it's a 6 page comic, those pledging at $10 or more for 3 or more pages, get the free hard copy. Those who pledge $10 or more for less than 3 pages will receive print store credit for the value of their pledges. Those who pledge $10 or more for MORE than 3 pages will receive the free hard copy, then print credit beyond that.

Eligible $30 value patrons will receive 2 hard copies with custom inscriptions (and maybe a lil doodle wink wonk) inside the front cover.

Cheers! Be sure to check your messages tomorrow for your rewards :3

Thanks for your support, as always!

Big thanks to everyone who made this happen! Cheers :)

Here's the first page! Title suggested by a few close friends and I couldn't NOT go with it. Big thanks to everyone for your ideas!

Greyscale will be released publicly, color will be on here only!

Physical rewards (prints) will be available once this comic and another 6 pager are complete for a back-to-back printing. Support for over 50% of either one of the two comics at a print level pledge will get you a free physical copy! (or at least 3 $10+ pledges among the total 12+ pages)

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Really excited to embark on this lil journey with you guys :')

<3 ~ Kihu

Should be getting those store credit coupon codes for February soon! Sorry for the wait. Cheers!

Here it is guys! Time to vote on which of these guys will be the victim/protagonist alongside Coop in this growth comic!

REMEMBER - In addition to creating a character you think works well for this comic, try to make a character you'd like to see again in the future! If he comes out great, he may become part of my permanent cast!

Hi guys!

I made a big dumb mistake and didn't hit YES on "do you want to charge your patrons for this post?" so it didn't charge anyone!

Last month you should have only been charged for the ref sheet - sorry about that. It will be posted as part of this month's group!

AS A HEADS UP, The month of March will include the following PAID posts:

1.) Coop x Zootopia Tigers

2.) Coop Ref Sheet

3.)Growth Minicomic Page 1

4.) HOPEFULLY growth minicomic page 2. We'll see!

If anyone needs to adjust their monthly caps to accommodate, now's a good time!

Sorry for the mistake on my end. In other news, you should be getting another post in a few minutes where you can vote on growth minicomic details!

Thanks again for all your support. <3 Cheers!

- Kihu

Woah, there's been a ton of new patrons in the last few months! Thank you guys! Excited to have you here :3

Anyway, I thought I'd clear this up for everyone so there's no confusion! Here's how the process works with the images I'll be creating for this Patreon:

1.) I'll upload a censored version of the image here as the "paid post"

2.) At the end of the month, after your cards are charged and payments have processed, I will send (via patreon message) dropbox download links for the uncensored version along with any rewards you may have pledged for! (Print coupon codes, hi res copies, .psd files, process images, etc.)

3.) Those of you pledging at print-tiers will receive a second patreon message later in the month with your print code. This is a coupon code that can be used in my InkedFur store, equal to the value of a free print in the size that you pledged - meaning you can upgrade to a larger print and still get the same value discounted, etc. Sorry I can't do the print codes and download links together, I've tried but it just takes my print company to generate codes & get back to me.

4.) If I've created multiple images that month, and provided you were signed up at the time I made my "paid post" for the images, you'll get all the images and the rewards for the tier you subscribed per-image. If you have a "monthly cap" on your patronage, you'll get the images you paid for. The ones you paid for are dictated by the chronological order in which I post them throughout the month! If you want more images per month, you can raise your monthly cap to accommodate!

Thanks again for all of your support! Hope this answers some questions for you. Cheers!

- K

NOTE: This is absolutely NOT ideal. This is to avoid "dine and dash" patrons - people who pledge a bunch, go into my patreon gallery, download everything, redistribute it, then cancel their pledge - all before they're charged a penny. I get about $200 in fake pledges every month. Patreon says they're "working on it" but that's been their story for more than a year. We'll see. Sorry it has to be this way! When Patreon updates the way the site works, I'll update the way I use it.

All done!

Might make a few more small edits to lighting and levels and such, but that's about it. Will post the voting results tomorrow for anyone who's interested!

As always, thank you all for your support. You guys are the sole reason i'm able to "make it" as a digital artist! Thanks and hope you had a great February.

With march coming up, I'll be doing a ref sheet for Coop first, then getting down to business on that Comic! (see previous submissions)

Looking at 3 submissions hopefully (ref sheet, 2 comic pages) this month, so if anyone wants to adjust their pledges accordingly, here's a good time!

Cheers,

- K

Sorry this one's so trimmed-down, in a pinch at the end of the month! Busy Busy.

Next month's pieces will be another ref sheet (Coop!) and I think the first page or two of that comic.

Thanks for all your support! HAPPY VOTING :3

<3 ~ Kihu

HELP! I have an idea for this, but want to make sure y'all are cool with it!

I originally made this comic as a YCH and was going to auction it off or sell it to a private bidder, but I think it would be way more fun to crowd-source (let you guys vote) on the character and ending!

I plan on making it 6 pages (4 pages sketched out so far) and I would complete it in full color, (inked, and shaded w/backgrounds) uploading it one page at a time, as a pledged image for each piece.

View comic sketches in hi-res here

• $1 patrons who pledge for at least 3/6 pages get full comic in standard resolution
• $5 patrons get full comic in hi def, plus some sort of print credit on inkedfur based on how many of the pages you pledged for (suggestions?)
• $10 patrons would receive a physical copy of the comic plus $5
• $15 would get $10 plus all the WIP work, extra sketches, digital copies as flats, inks, b&w, etc. Probably some no-dialogue versions or other alt versions.
• $20 would get $15 plus I'd make sure to do a LOT of those private streams during the comic
• $25 would get 2 physical copies of the comic plus $20 reward
• $30 would get $25 reward plus some sort of additional reward. Maybe a quick headshot sketch for anyone pledging for the whole comic? Print credit otherwise.

Does this sound fair? Please keep in mind that, if there are page minimums, the physical copies of the comic would have to wait until I have another comic completed to bundle them together and print at the same time.

I'm super open to your suggestions!

REGARDING VOTING, and what would get voted on:

("Character" being the YCH character show here, the wolf)

• Character species
  
• Character color
• Character features
• Character body type
• THE ENDING!
• 4/6 pages done so far, entire script of last 2 pages (the sex part) would be voted on! This includes:
• Who tops/bottoms
• What they do
• Position they do it in
• extra lil kink options.

SO PLEASE, in comments here (please don't message! comments work great because they're public and we can all collaborate on ideas!) let me know what you think! Does this sound fair? Should i change some things? Should i just not do this at all and auction it off like I'd originally planned?

Thanks for your time and input! Look forward to hearing from you all :3

P.S. there is both a link to the comic in higher quality here:http://kihu.club/post/139742279906/kihuotter-heres-roughs-of-the-first-four-pages

and files are attached for download.

Here's the final version! Posting here instead of mailing out at month's end so folks can view it as soon as they sign up.

Those pledging at print-tier levels will receive store credit for my inkedfur print store equal to the value of the size of print they'd normally receive. This credit can go towards any print, any size, and even shipping.

Huge thank you to everyone this month. Next month will be a BIG MONTH for patreon! Ref sheets start, and maybe a lil mini comic! TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

Note: voting results called for dialogue and blush to be added as well, those will be in the final version! PRINTS WILL NOT HAVE DIALOGUE ON THEM unless a lot of people tell me they want that! Lemme know what you think of the dialogue when it's out

Much love to all of you for making this possible. Your support pays my rent every month, and with more time to focus on art, and keep my comic project at the front of my mind instead of a back corner, I can really say I'm incredibly excited start sharing bits and pieces with you in the new year.

Happy holidays and happy new year!

- Kihu

Here they are! The piece will be as follows:

• Banjo & Coop
• In a Locker Room setting
• Banjo Topping Coop - BUT - Coop's dominant, Banjo's Submissive
• Both facing same direction, Coop grinding into Banjo's Lap
• Coop's got his offseason build
• Banjo's had his collar tugged on, he's about 6'2" 280
• Both are wearing athletic clothes, Banjo's will be ripped up from the growth spurt
• MESSY. Lots of mess.

Thank you guys for your votes! I think this is gonna come out great :)

Happy holidays! This piece'll be finished and posted before the end of December, along with the FIRST REF SHEET! I'm going to start with Banjo's since he was the first of the group I created, and kinda the central protagonist here.

Cheers!

- Kihu

Thank you guys for your votes! By today I got a total of 80 votes in, which I think is a fair amount to call it at.

Dives' first piece! Really glad I got to spend some time fleshing him out here :) He's a favorite of mine!

I've made some edits to patron rewards! Check them out on my creator page!

Biggest changes are:

• requirement for access to private art streams has been dropped to $10
• $20 pledge tier has been removed and its rewards moved to the $15 tier.

Made some edits just to make everything more clear, too!

Hi! Thanks for all your support!

I'll try to keep this as brief and simple as possible:

• If you did not receive your rewards for either of the first two pieces, send me a message & I'll make sure they get to you.
• Next set of rewards will be sent out as dropbox links via Patreon message, so check your patreon inbox at the start of November!
• Last day to vote for Piece #4 is today, I'll be starting on the drawing tomorrow!
• Voting for Piece #5 will be scenario-only since there's only 1 character left
• Voting for Reference Sheets (next order of business) will be a single voting session where you rank characters in the order you'd like to see them.

That's it! I appreciate all the recent support! Last month's processing took 5 days rather than the 3 that Patreon promises. Sorry I can't change that... but apparently they're working on a new system. Next month's art will be sent out as soon as all of the payments have processed! Thanks for your patience and understanding :)

You and Parry just polished off the last of the sake... Just hurry up and do it before he changes his mind!

This time, the idea and the character didn't really line up (Parry's... not really one to bottom) but I figured I'd run with that idea - and do a double entendre with the title!

This is the first piece for October. Hoping to get 1 or 2 more done before the end of the month :)

As always, files will be mailed out in the form of dropbox links at the end of the month! However, this month i'll be sending links via Patreon messages, so make sure to keep an eye there!

Sorry, e-mail didn't work great last month, lots of people didn't get their rewards and I don't want that! Please contact me if you didn't get your reward. Patreon message works great :3

Thank you all for your support <3

Parry's is about 85% done, should be posted tomorrow!

Time to vote for the first piece of October! Only 3 characters left. Will finish these 3 illustrations this month, then begin on Character Sheets in November!

Remember, they're all going to happen, so if you see a character/theme combo you can't pass up, vote for it now!

There's still a bunch of payments that haven't been processed, and it's the 4th. Sorry for the delay guys, IDK what patreon/stripe are doing.

Additionally, if your card has been declined, please just try it again! Most of the time it's an error with stripe (the company patreon uses to charge cards) where you just hit "retry" and it's fixed.

As soon as all payments have been tried -once- i'll save the database for who's paid and who hasn't and send out rewards. I'll check back later in the month and catch up on retries/declined cards.

Please note that for prints, it will take a few days for the newest image to show up in my gallery, and a few days for the owner of InkedFur (the whole site is run by one person) to get coupon codes ready for y'all.

Thanks for your patience! Looking forward to October, I'll have a lot of time to work on Patreon stuff this month! I encourage you to raise your monthly caps this month as I'll be putting out 3-6 images, and you'll only receive copies of/rewards for the first few until you hit those caps!

As always, thank you for your support <3

Hi guys! Wanted to give you all a heads up on the plan I have set out for this Patreon, and how things will work!

tl;dr: the goal of this Patreon is to make a comic butI must also maintain the hourly wage I make doing commissions! I need to build the characters & crank out a few practice/one-off comics to get a feel for things first. I've outlined my goals below.

Not so tl;dr:

In light of the rapid success, where Goals were reached before I even had a chance to do any of the projects outlined in the goal, I'll be structuring the next several pieces like so:

$150 - Color Illustrations Unlocked!

• Coop - Guilty Pleasure [Complete]
• Heath - (Theme TBD)
• Dives - (Theme TBD)
• Parry - (Theme TBD)
• Banjo - (Theme TBD)

$300 - Character Sheets Unlocked!

I'll complete a front/back/headshot/detail + short bio character sheet for each character! Format TBD - really hoping to figure out a way to do interactive flash where clothing/nude, soft/erect, front/back, are all toggles, and a bio page that can be pulled up and scrolled thru. (IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS OR KNOW ANYONE WHO CAN HELP, PLEASE MESSAGE ME!)

• Banjo
• Parry
• Heath
• Dives
• Coop

$500 - B&W Comics Unlocked!

This goal is coming up quick! I'll probably do a 3 page comic where the theme and characters (2 char) are voted on by you guys, then do the same thing with the remaining characters in a 5 page comic. (For the physical release these two will be packaged together in a small "zine" format)

$750 - B&W Animations Unlocked!

This one's still a ways off, but if we make it there we'll still do the same thing - vote on characters and scenarios!

$1000 - Color Comics Unlocked!

Looong ways off. This one will be THE comic, when it's ready to happen. I think we can reach this goal by the time the B&W comics are done!

Ready to vote for round 2?!

Pick your winning character and scenario idea!

Remember, each character will react differently to each scenario! Choose wisely :D

Here's the first piece! The uncensored version, coupon codes, hi res, process images, .psd files, etc will all be e-mailed out once your pledges have processed at the end of the month! Make sure your Patreon account e-mail address is up to date :)

Thanks for all your support! Onwards and upwards :D

Thought I'd clear this up for everyone so there's no confusion! Here's how the process works with the images I'll be creating for this patreon.

1.) I'll upload a censored version of the image here as the "paid post"

2.) At the end of the month, after your cards are charged and payments have processed, I will e-mail out the uncensored version along with any rewards you may have pledged for! (Print coupon codes, hi res copies, .psd files, process images, etc.)

3.) If I've created multiple images that month, and provided you were signed up at the time I made my "paid post" for the images, you'll get all the images and the rewards for the tier you subscribed per-image. If you have a "monthly cap" on your patronage, you'll get the images you paid for. The ones you paid for are dictated by the chronological order in which I post them throughout the month! Want more images per month? Raise that monthly cap to accommodate!

WHAT?!? WHY DO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE END OF THE MONTH?!?

Reason #1: The Dine & Dash:Unfortunately, a lot of folks here like to "dine & dash" - meaning they sign up, gain access to patron-only materials, then delete their patronage before their payment is processed at the end of the month!

Reason #2:Piracy protection! Similar to the "dine & dash" these people - in addition to taking materials they're not paying for - are also archiving, reposting, and distributing that stolen work. Boo!

Both of these things are super lame! So, until Patreon figures out a way to prevent them, this is how things will work.

Think of it as signing up for a monthly Image pack, where the images are reavealed throughout the month as I work on them!

Thanks for your patience and understanding! <3

The first image should be coming early next week!

Please make sure your patreon email address is accessible, updated, etc.

I WILL ONLY BE UPLOADING CENSORED (blurred out) AND WATERMARKED IMAGES TO THIS GALLERY!

Uncensored images and rewards like high-resolution copies, process images, inkedfur print coupon codes, and .PSD files will be delivered via e-mail!

Thank you! :3

Thanks for being patient with me through my slow summer guys!

The time has finally come to start working on the first piece.
