I was hoping I wouldn't have to make anymore woe-is-me posts, but following that 'family emergency' I had this weekend, to put a long story short, my father died. My parents lived about 1.5hrs from where I live, so I've had to go back and forth a few times, leaving me little time to work on anything, including the comics and commissions. My mom is also in the hospital, so I gotta take care of her as best I can.

So yeah, everything is uncertain right now. Once we figure out what my mom's new normal will be, and things are more stable, I'll be able to continue posting the comics.

I'll be posting more details on my bluesky account if anyone would like to follow it here: https://bsky.app/profile/jakkal.bsky.social

Hi all. I've had a family emergency and I'll have to go out of town for the next day or so. The comic only updates for DeviantArt and Fur Affinity when my home computer is set up and online to post (I use postybirb). As I won't be home at this time, I won't be able to update it.

I have set it to update on it's mirror site, which has scheduled posts, so you can still read it, but you have to read it here: https://kaerwyn.thecomicseries.com/

Sorry for the trouble.

Due to all the stuff going on in my life, I ran out of buffer. So I'm not posting this week to try to rebuild it.

If you really want to help out, and get to see another 6 pages, consider subscribing to my Patreon or Ko-Fi!

I could use some help. In December, I had some dental work done, which $1000 was supposed to be covered by my insurance, I had to fork out the rest (about $4000). Now they're saying insurance denied it & I have to pay the other $1000. I'm already feeling overworked from trying to keep up with the comics and extra commissions to pay off that $4k. Another $1k doesn't help at all.


If anyone can help, I really appreciate it:

You can send shinies here (Which uses paypal)
https://ko-fi.com/jakkal

Hi folks. Just letting you all know that the available Lanky style werewolves are now 20% off on my Ko-Fi shop until Aug 31. You can buy them directly from Ko-fi and it'll send you the adoptable. You don't have to go through me anymore if you want one.

You can get them with the sale price by following this link: https://ko-fi.com/jakkal/link/20OFF

I've got them posted here for easier viewing: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55307355/

Just letting everyone know that we won't be updating this comic this week. I'm out of buffer. So I'll still be working on it, it just won't update. I just need a few days to rebuild the buffer a bit.

It feels like every time I have to make a new journal post, it's just me begging. And that often feels like the reality of people who create things for free. But Kaerwyn's Patreon is at it's lowest it's been in a long time. And I really need your help to keep it going.

Before I start, I really want to thank all the people that are currently supporting Kaerwyn. I know I say this a lot, but it's completely true - Kaerwyn would not exist without your help. You are the reason it continues to post. You are the reason everyone else can enjoy it.

If things don't pick up for Kaerwyn's Patreon, I'm afraid that I might have to drop down to the number of uploads per week, or, just have to deal with times that it won't be updating. I know times are tough, money wise, for most people, but that includes myself. And the time I spend working on Kaerwyn is time I could be spending on paid commissions. I need those just to pay the bills.

How can you help?

• Join my Patreon or Ko-Fi as monthly supporters.
https://www.patreon.com/Jakkal/
https://ko-fi.com/jakkal

Monthly supporters get to see the comic at least 2 weeks ahead of the public postings. I'm going to make an effort to start posting more exclusive content for $5+ subs, including commissions and other artwork that I haven't posted in my gallery.
Monthly supporters also have access to special wallpapers and other downloads like PDF comic issues.
Monthly supporters get first dibs on commission openings. $20+ tiers get commission discounts.
$10+ tiers get character cameos in the comic.
$35+ tiers get free adoptable recolors once a month.

•Send one time tips via Paypal, Ko-Fi, or Fur Affinity "Shinies"
Paypal email: jakkal[at]gmail.com
https://ko-fi.com/jakkal

•Buy my adoptables
I have many for sale here and some special werewolves available on Ko-fi. (I'll be moving most to Ko-Fi since it's faster and easier for people to purchase them there)
https://www.furaffinity.net/gallery.....817/Adoptables
https://ko-fi.com/jakkal/shop

•Don't have any money? You can still help. Spread the word. Tell your friends. Link to it on social media.

Well, just letting you all know that Issue 21 of The Realm of Kaerwyn is well underway.

Each Kaerwyn page takes a significant amount of time to produce and as such, it really helps me out a ton for anyone that is willing to help support it monetarily. And, that said, there's now two ways you can help support it month to month.

We have Patreon and now we have Ko-Fi memberships! Ko-Fi also allows one time 'tips' without a commitment.

In addition, I have added wallpapers that were previously only available to $10+ supporters on my Patreon shop. So if you just want to buy one, you can!

Monthly supporters will get to see the comic updating much earlier than the public sites!

If you enjoy the comic, please consider subscribing! If you can't afford it, please tell other people about it and help spread the word!

In addition, The Realm of Kaerwyn is a role playing site. We call it "Creative Group Writing" Role Playing. You create a character and you play that character in a chat room with other players. The best part, it's free. And you get to participate in some of the same types of plots and stories as we've posted as comics (Note: the comic version and RP version are separate and characters from the RP are not necessarily included in the comic. So don't sign up thinking you'll get a character in the comic, please.)

More information on Kaerwyn is available on our Wiki. Please don't let the rules scare you. They can be intimidating, but we always try to help newcomers learn and adjust, even if you might break one or two from time to time. The rules exist to help us keep things running smoothly - knowing that we allow characters from all kinds of different worlds and places, with all kinds of powers and items.

If you think that your writing or your English is not good enough, try it out anyway. We've helped people get better at writing through the practice that comes from role play. Some of our ESL players have gone from being barely understandable to indistinguishable from native English speakers.

Note that Kaerwyn is for players who are 15+ years old. Please don't try to join it if you're not already 15.

So we hope to see you there!

Hi folks, I have 2 One-Shot commission slots open Friday (Aug 4th). The details on these commissions are here: https://www.deviantart.com/deviation/558114237

Examples were posted here (Only the blind TF discount is available this time) https://twitter.com/JakkalWolf/stat.....89315326517272

Please email me at jakkal at gmail dot com if you are interested. If I get more than two requests, next week's slots will be made available for the overflow.

I have notes turned off here. Please don't try to send me a note/PM on my other galleries or social media accounts, I only accept commission requests via email.

Well, my truck is going to need more work on it, and I might need to buy different vehicle as a result so....

Just letting you all know that The Realm of Kaerwyn will not be updating Saturday, Apr 8th. I have to go out of town this weekend and will be gone Saturday evening. DeviantArt and FurAffinity are the only two sites that I post to do that don't allow scheduled posting. I have to use an app for that. And since I won't be home, my computer won't be up and running.

You can still view it at the following sites:
https://kaerwyn.blacktapestries.com/
https://kaerwyn.thecomicseries.com/

I will post it as soon as I get back on Sunday.

Edit: We ended up coming back Saturday evening. So I've gone ahead and posted it. Sorry for the wait.

I realize with the post-pandemic state of the world that things are not going well for a lot of people. But I'm afraid that I'm no exception. Both of my Patreon accounts are very low. I use the money from these to pay my main bills (Rent, utilities, food, insurance, etc) and commissions for the rest or fill in the gaps. They're no longer hitting the mark for this. I know people see the amount on the main Patreon page and think "Oh Jakkal is doing well enough" but, if you calculate it, I make about $4/hr doing the Kaerwyn comic. I do it because I enjoy it. However, this won't last forever, especially as the price of everything is going up.

If you enjoy the Kaerwyn comic, please consider becoming a Patron. https://www.patreon.com/Jakkal
If you don't want to commit to a monthly subscription, you can send one time payments via https://ko-fi.com/jakkal
You can also send shinies via FA.

If you can't afford to help support Kaerwyn monetarily, then please spread the word. Let people know you read it. Retweet the update notices on twitter. Like/Favorite the pages.

Last thing I want to do is reduce the amount of updates per week or stop working on it entirely, but this is a future I may have to face. Please help keep it rolling.

And thanks again to all the people that have supported the comic over the years. You make it possible.

For you folks that are not native English Speakers, starting with issue 18, I've written out the transcripts for the comics. I don't think I'll have time to do all the prior issues, but at least we can get the ball rolling with this one.

The transcript is available on the comic's home site: https://kaerwyn.blacktapestries.com/

You can copy the text and paste it into your translation software of choice. I know it won't always be super accurate, but the best we can do for you guys, as we can't afford to host several different translated versions of it.

I've posted about this on my Patreon, you can go here to read more on it: https://www.patreon.com/posts/51017075
TLDR; I'm thinking about doing some comic shorts for my patrons, that would be inconsequential to the main comic plots, but might answer questions people had about Kaerwyn, the characters, etc.

This is for the week of March 7-13th, 2021. There's a lot of things I have to take care of in meatspace this week. And I'm also a little behind in my comic buffer, so I'm going to take this week off to get all those things done.

I also will not be taking commissions this week. Everything should resume normal functioning next week.

Just to let you guys know, we're having work done on the house I live in. And because of it, my office is unreachable right now. I don't think they'll be done tonight, if that's the case, then I can't update the comics.

They will still post this week, likely Thur-Fri-Sat instead of Tues-Thr-Sat.

For my Patreon patrons: You will get all updates on time, they've already been set up to update. It's just the non-Patreon pages that will be delayed.
