Hey everyone! I haven’t posted an update in a little bit so figured it was time. Let’s get right into it with what I want to cover:

1 – Speech Bubbles:

I hate them. They’re square, and with my current approach too inflexible and cramped. I’ve started building vector based bubbles to replace them so expect the bubble format to change next upload.

2 – Focusing In:

As some of you may know I started out on Patreon by making photorealistic anthro themed stuff. While it was cool it’s just not aligned with DSP and the comics. I have a lot more fun making the comics and those that subscribe do so for the stories with pretty clear metrics to back it up.

I’m discontinuing the photorealism stuff. I want to put all my effort into creating things in the DSP comic world.

3 – Better Quality Control

The Naomi comic… ah man. I should have waited. It was rushed. The story was too short and I didn’t even draw the hair styles consistently in some panels.

I’m adding a cool down period to my releases before posting. Getting someone else to proof read them first and look for errors or improvements. It’s going to add a bit of production time but I want you all to have a quality experience.

4 – Length and Lore

Now that I’m focusing 100% on the comics I’m going to do longer stories. You may have noticed the latest release (Akemi) was twice the length of my standard work. I’m also hoping with the longer format I can start to flesh out the DSP Universe.

I’ve added the ‘DSPedia’ to the top bar of the site as a supplementary framework section for things about the world as it’s built out.

5 – Addressing Feedback

Recent feedback on the DSP PetGirl stories highlighted a couple things for me.

First off, recent proofing errors. I had to re-issue Akemi 3 times for issues related to grammar and spelling. I came to find out my text editor of choice suddenly stopped proofing. As I said above in bullet 3 I’m taking steps to prevent that kind of issue in the future.

Secondly was a complaint with the world building and how it didn’t seem to really matter in the context of the comics. I kind of agree. I think the stories lacked complexity in a lot of ways so far. I’ll be paying more attention to pacing and adding detail to the world as I go forward.

I want these characters to be something you can invest in and care about. Not just watch get fucked… although that’s an important part too.

Thanks for sticking around as this project develops and changes.

Stay wild folks ✌

Wow. First I wanted to thank everyone who stops by to check out DSP. I’m seeing new people joining via PayPal which is exciting as Patreon has and continues to dismantle human and creative rights involving adult content.

With the sudden uptick in viewers and downloads it was brought to my attention by a subscriber that the site was AWFUL on mobile… and it was. I primarily designed DSP Online on a desktop not thinking to really test things on phones and tablets. I totally redesigned the site and content storage mechanics. It’s now easier to navigate and use DSP Online on the go.

One down side might be that I’m no longer hosting full quality content directly on the site without using the Download buttons but it’s a choice I had to make in terms of bandwidth, usability and the recent problems with hot-linking to members only media. Not to mention my sanity. Under the old system I had two posts for every post, one free and one members only. It was getting too hard to manage like that.

The Members Only search engine has been redesigned and the DSP Search mascot now has a name… meet Foxy! Who knows, maybe she’ll get a story arc at some point. *sarcasm*

The last site change worth noting is experimenting with taking payments via Crypto… it’s a manual process for now but am looking for platforms that integrate like PayPal. There’s more info on the Subscribe page under the Membership menu at the top.

That’s it for now, stay wild friends! 🐾

State of the DSP Comics:

It’s been a while since I got to post anything so I’m happy to have a comic in the Annabelle story arc to post. You’ll notice I’ve made some changes to the font, style and colors a bit. I’ve been learning new techniques and watching professional comic creators “Do’s and Dont’s” when it comes to layout, framing and dialog then applying them to the DSP stories. More to that I’ve gone back and made a few teaks to the earlier work and re-uploaded them. Nothing crazy but just some things I’ve been wanting to tweak and hadn’t gotten around to doing.

Patreon Members

To anyone who primarily checks my Patreon for content I have some bad news. Patreon has really kicked up their content restrictions around NSFW material. Under their new ToS I can’t have ANYTHING NSFW free. It has to be locked behind a paywall. Even free previews are affected. I’ll need to be real careful with what I post on there and as I said to members DSP Online should be your first stop if you want to see what I’m uploading.

Well after many back and forth conversations with the Patreon support team we weren’t able to reach a middle ground in terms of some DSP content (mainly the PetGirl story comics). I was hoping by adding disclaimers, and explicit explanation of consent I would be able to continue using their platform but it’s not enough for them. After much consideration I’ve decided to launch a website to be the new home of DSP. Welcome to DSP Online!

This will now be the primary place to see the latest DSP content and I’m also pleased to announce that PayPal will be handling subscriptions should anyone want to support the project and get access to higher quality material.
