Alright, I’m really sorry to be a bit behind, everyone. Still fighting a nasty cold that’s keeping me a bit out of sorts and waiting for relief. That’s the problem for me, in my health, if Riff gets a cold, I get it twice as bad. It’s so not fair… Anyway…

Still waiting on more story ideas from you all. ^^ Just shout them out and let me know what you want to see. We have 12 days until the end of the month, and I still owe you guys a story. So...let me have them, please. <3

We are now fully underway with the brand new website, completed last week, and you are encouraged to visit it, read each page, and please share them with your friends on your favorite social media outlet. There are buttons right under each page. Feel free to comment as well, the more comments the better, and I’ll make sure to approve every comment in a short amount of time. <3
The site link:
Notice! We have a fan-art section there! And I will be adding more art there soon. *^^*

Since Twinkle-Sez joined the team to take over for ABlueDeer, I hope folks are alright so far with the character designs and scenery. Twinkle is very gifted and quite well-known in the fandom, so I’m very delighted to have his help, and his fan-base, coming in with us. <3 I think it’s been a great move.

The story is about to shift into high-gear again, as the beautiful otter and her friends return to the sea. But beware of some plot twists and turns, along with, I hope, will be the most exciting, riveting and beautiful underwater artwork the fandom has ever seen. *^^*

We were interviewed recently by DogPatch Press! You can read the full article here:

Our warmest thanks to Patch’Ofur for taking the time to notice us, and plug the wonderful webcomic for their readers. <3

To my surprise, “The Depths” was recommended reading for the Ursa Major Awards! *^^* Eeeeee! This means when the nominations roll around come January, “The Depths” might actually be in the running! So…if you’re familiar with how the voting goes with the Ursa Majors, since I have no bloody idea, please cast your vote! <3

We have currently 50 subscribers and earning $635 per month, which is more than adequate to continue weekly updates. So, a blessed “thank you” to all of you for giving even just a little of your hard-earned money to help us keep this dream going strong. Feel free to tell others, of course, and Tweet, Post, etc. your hearts out on every page. The more we can get, the more artists and writers I can bring to the table, and the more comics we can start for all of you. <3

Finally, someone got in touch with me about helping him out in the furry world for marketing his talents, and to help him make some extra money. His name on Furaffinity is OpusFur, and he is a professional studio animator. *^^* He’s worked on a number of Dreamworks projects in TV and in films. So…yes, very much a professional, with many credits.
And…he adores Leilani and wants to animate some “The Depths” scenes.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Okay, but before that can happen, I need to pump more funds into Patreon. And we have devised a plan to do so. I’m going to offer another special tier here on the Patreon.
10 slots at $200 per slot.
What will you get each month? Why, an animation of an image of your choosing, of course, along with all the other goodies (except for character additions, I can’t add too many more secondary characters), every month. Opus has confided in me that he’s comfortable doing at least 10 images a week, but I don’t want to kill my friend. *^^* So, yes, I’ll be trying to put even more funds aside in the Patreon by offering this new special tier, probably in the next month or so. Look for details on that later. <3
That’s all the news for now! Have a great week, everyone! I really hope you’re enjoying all we’ve got going on! <3
