"The Depths" - Page 75 (End: Dark Reflections)

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 that's going on, Riff and I are going to be hard at work laying out the new story line for the next arc (which is actually unnamed yet, but we'll make it great, we promise.)

I'm sure some of you have heard by now, our quest for a pencil artist is still going, but it's the quality of the applicants we're getting that has us in awe. Artists from Walt Disney Animation, Pixar, Warner Brothers Animation, DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Seven Seas Entertainment, (a top selling manga publisher) and others want to be our pencil artist.

Most of them give the reason that they really LOVE THIS COMIC.

Stop right there for a minute...

What...?

THEY LOVE THIS COMIC.

Some of the many kudos we've received have called the story brilliant, the art on par with some of the best, and the characters are so memorable and beautiful. These are former comic artists, animators, and manga people saying this.

ABOUT US.

I was feeling a little down lately because it really seemed to me that we just don't have the support we need to keep things moving along strong. But we do have a lot of support. $500 a month is nothing to sneeze at, and I'm proud we have at least that much, so we can do at least three pages a month. However, we're still going to do a huge ad and marketing campaign in July while we write. We're going to need a bit more Patreon help if we're going to hire that pencil artist! I'm really excited about three prospects we have, the one from Seven Seas Entertainment for sure, but whomever we get, you will love because they're drawing talent is phenomenal. <3 <3 <3

My dream would be to get this to $1,000 a month, so I can get a LOT more things done for you all, like free merchandise, hard-printing, more art, more side-comics. I guess I leave that up to you. I'm asking you all, talk to people. Let them know, "Hey, The Depths is getting attention!" or "Did you know someone from Disney Animation is trying out as a penciler!?" Start the rumor mill going. (of course they are not rumors, this is 100% truth) 

TELL PEOPLE. *^^*

We'll see you back again in August, my lovely otters. <3

If anyone has any questions, please comment/write. I will be adding another tier here shortly in an effort to get more attention and more perks. I have 3 or 4 people who still give generously to the Patreon ($50, I believe), so I'm going to add a $50 tier to cover them and give extra rewards. <3
