I would prefer not to have to resort to this, but sadly, we're out of options and need to raise funds to pay the vet bills for our cat Carlos, who has rapidly lost weight in the last two weeks. After two check-ins with the vet, a blood analysis, x-ray and ultrasound, we found out he has a malignant tumor in his abdomen, near his intestine.

Carlos came to us 10 years ago, after we took in his pregnant mom who needed a new home. We helped raise him from a tiny ball of fur into a handsome, if slightly heavy but wonderfully friendly and active cat. Over these 10 years, he's provided us with much love, purrs and been there through really rough times. Through burnout, near homelessness and chronic health issues, he has been a source of joy and inspiration to go on. Now that he needs us, we are struggling to help- but we refuse to just give up on him.

How will Funds be used?
To cover current and future medical costs for his treatments.
So far, costs are as follows:
178€ for injections, diagnosis and blood lab analysis
119€ for X-Rays and Ultrasound
854€ for the gut surgery (removal of sticky tumor mass as well as the junction of small and large intestine stuck on the mass)

Carlos has survived the surgery, but he's still not out of danger. Still, we want to keep going for as long as the vet says he has a fighting chance and isn't suffering. He will need a few more check-ups in the coming days, and close monitoring. We will update the campaign with any new developments!

The funds will be deposited into my account to cover the current medical debt and any future costs for his vet bills. Thank you so much for reading. Please share or donate if you can, every little bit counts!

Took way longer than I would have liked, but my health issues kept me away from drawing.
Chapter 2 Page 8 of Nox Feralis is now available on my patreon (both in regular and HQ version!): https://www.patreon.com/posts/nox-f.....tent=join_link

Public release will be on Sunday, the 12!

thanks for everyone who has stuck with me during all this. Life has been... difficult to say the least, but all the support has kept me going. <3

Sorry for another delay, but I had to spend a week in the hospital with another bad infection. I am home now, but the doctors told me to avoid stress so I will take my time finishing the next comic page. It's all layouted, and I'll try to have a WIP for patrons up over the weekend or monday at least :)

First off, sorry for the radio silence.
My pains have not gotten better since they first started in late November last year, and most of my time was eaten up by doctors visits, physical therapy and nasty side effects from prescriptions. I have returned to work, but have to readjust slowly and take lots of breaks, as while the constant pain is manageable most days, it gets exponentially worse under strain, be it working at the PC or lifting things, both of which are key parts of my day job.
As such, I've mostly spend the evenings resting or at therapy. Surgery is sadly not an option- it would have meant a stricter but shorter period of restriction and proper rest, but taken care of the issue otherwise. The next check-up on the carpal tunnel is 2 months off, and until then I have to make due with painkillers. Trying to find the cause, it was also diagnosed that I suffer from severe sleep apnea and scoliosis, which complicate the pain and healing process further. For now, it seems I have to just live with it though. My treatment and medication costs have gone through the roof, and with my limited ability to work I had to accept a lower wage. I am trying to keep my head up but it's hard.

All that aside, I am feeling the itch to draw again and feel bad you guys had to go so long without any updates. I am planning on working on and off on the next page for Nox next week while I figure out if I want to continue with it or work on a different story (for now.) For my patreons that have stuck with me through these last few months I'll have a little thank you freebie. :)

Been a while since the last update- I've been suffering from searing pain in both lower arms and hands. Doctors keep sending me around to others, and the current doctors suspicion is spinal disc herniation or cervicobrachialgia, which both have me on edge. I have an appointment for radiology soon, but until then I can only worry and hope it's not that, and just a very nasty Tenosynovitis in both arms- but I have been struggling with it for the better part of the month now which leaves my doctors worried. I was hoping it would pass sooner and I wouldn't have to write this update, but until the pain is gone, or at least manageable, I can't deliver any further updates.

Thanks for understanding.

So recently my health has been in the shitter. My Doc thinks it's long Covid fucking with my immune system, because rn I am stumbling from one thing into the next.

First we had the diverticulitis, followed 2 days after release from the hospital with a right side inner ear inflammation, a week later I had a mean cold, and now the left inner ear is infected and today I woke up with my throat so clogged up I can barely breathe. Waiting rn for my appointment with the doc, we'll see if this one can be handled at home. I am so sorry for the radio silence recently, but I've been listening to my doc and trying to rest as much as possible to get over this quick.

First of all, a big apology for the radio silence these last few weeks. I took a much needed winter break and had to extend it for multiple reasons, finding barely any time to work on art or the PC in general. Aside from my chronic health issues, I've had to set aside time for job interviews and trial days, as well as a handful of technical issues with my hardware that had to be fixed and in some cases- like my drawing tablet- replaced. 

With the most urgent things out of the way, I am back to drawing, and will continue the comic this coming week. The time away has given me so opportunity to plan out the comic a bit further on, and I found I have a few ways of how and where to take the story. If we take option one and I go as in depth as I'd like, we would both stray from the erotic story, with a lot of exposition in between, but it would also go on longer, making me question if it is even viable- as we'd probably look at a span of more that 5 years at the very least to reach a conclusion.
Of course, there are some factors that would influence this timeframe as well, like how much time I can allocate to the project, something that could change drastically depending on whether or not I do manage to land a stable job plus my mental and physical health situation. If we go with the second option, there would be some story told off-screen, mentioned only in conversation and/or later added as sidestories or bonus chapters. This would leave us with more steamy encounters and a faster pace, but I cannot guarantee I would manage to convey the story in a cohesive sense that way.
I am torn between the 2 options, as I do want Nox Feralis to not just be porn-without-plot, but on the other hand it is supposed to be a sexual, NSfW comic and as such does not necessarily need much depth to it. While I do know there is a middle ground to find between the two options, I am not certain I have the skill to traverse that line and as such, will leave it up to a vote on where we take Nox Feralis next. Please vote on the poll to let me know your thoughts! https://www.patreon.com/posts/how-s.....d-nox-77226984
EDIT: Secondly, I'll post another poll to ask about the type of content you wish to see. Me being pan, there are multiple relationships to the story. Question is, would you wish to see only one type depicted, or some in more detail than others? I won't guarantee that I will strictly adhere to the results of this poll- as some pairings' encounters might be vital to the story, but it will give me a frame of what you guys would like out of Nox! https://www.patreon.com/posts/77227270?pr=true

My stance for the year is still to give more updates here on Patreon. I will post more WIPs and sketches (and damn my brain for telling me they're not 'good enough to post!') and for now, keep to the schedule of an attempted one page a month. Of course, work and RL comes first, so I cannot guarantee this schedule, but it worked out decently last year I feel, so fingers crossed!
Last but not least, I want to thank you deeply for your support! Times are hard on us all, and every cent helps me with my medical and daily bills, allowing me to even work on this comic in the first place! I am eternally grateful for every single one of you!
PS: Please check out the polls and let me know your thoughts! Patreon account required to vote, support is optional (but always appreciated!❤️)

I am back from my surgery, and faring better that I feared, which is good. I'll focus on recuperating, but will finish up the comic page I didn't manage to before leaving for the hospital. I know I must be sounding like a broken record by now, but I am genuinely sorry I did not manage to uphold the promise of posting P22 before leaving, or my plans of posting sketches daily on my patreon. I will still try to get around to doing that at the latest once I am fully healed, maybe earlier if I feel healthy enough to.

Nox Feralis Ch. 1 Page 18 is now up in early access on my patreon! Also available in HQ for 10€ or more supporters! Wide release on wednesday, the 23rd!

https://www.patreon.com/posts/nox-f.....-ch-1-63977634

Lineart on p. 18 has begun! It's been slow the last few days since I have been applying for jobs and cannot draw on these 8 hours/day anymore. Ch. 1 gets another 12-15 pages (dw, story instead of PWP is coming) and then Ch. 2 is planned out. Can't promise anything tho depending on getting the job I want. I was too starry eyed in the hopes of getting to be an independent artist with Nox. Sadly, life with rising prices and mounting health problems does not allow more time to see this get off it's feet ): I plan to continue work on Nox but it will likely be slow as a 'hobby'.
One page takes me roughly 30 hours to make. This is because of physical ailments with my dominant hand/pain that goes along with it, as well as chronic migraines I have suffered from for years. I don't usually talk in detail about my issues because I despise guilt-tripping. Saying it now though so people can understand where I am coming from. With art not working out to lead a sustainable life with, I need to once more look into other options. Depression is now mostly in check, which means I am less unfit for conventional work now.
It's a shame, I was my dream to live off my comics, to share these lewd stories with you all. But again, the exploding cost of living makes it unsustainable to focus on this for much longer. I have no savings, I can barely afford groceries. It's time to wake up from the dream. I am eternally grateful for those who supported me through this. It means the world to me that people were interested in seeing me succeed. It just unfortunately was not enough to sustain. I was told before starting this: Plan for 4-5 years to get your work off the ground. Growth is slow and that's normal. But I unfortunately do not have 4-5 years to focus on this. Even though I really want to. Again, I'll keep working on Nox, and if that ever meets it's end, likely the distant-future sequel to it, and another story I had planned.
But I cannot say how much time it will take, or if it will happen at all.

Public release is going to be on Monday, the 22nd!

First of all, I apologize for the lack of updates. This slow trickle of posts was not what I had intended for this patreon, quite the contrary. I was hoping to deliver AT LEAST a post a week, and 1-2 pages of Nox Feralis per month. I had hoped that setting this up would help me keep up motivation to draw.

Sadly, my mental health has once again taken a turn for the worse. There are multiple reasons for this but I won't elaborate. I have had an appointment with the health agency and been deemed fit enough for work once more, meaning I won't have the time to work fulltime on the comic and my art even if I wanted to anymore.

Some of you may know that I had planned to start up my webcomic at the beginning of the year. I had the website to host it all set up, finished around 6 pages of it and sketched out 4 more, and I was confident that all would be ready to go by March '20 at the latest. However, so much stuff started piling on that it plunged me back into a huge downward spiral; beginning with my PC breaking down(we managed to save up enough to fix the broken parts, however working on art is still a struggle, as the current setup tends to overheat a lot and slow to a crawl frequently as well)
followed by multiple health scares, including a Corona close-call for my boyfriend- and our vacuum and frige breaking as well, all pushing the replacing of pc parts further and further down the line. I had hoped to be working on my portfolio and my comic on a schedule by now, but things hardly ever tend to go our way in life, don't they? With the current situation, my plans of getting my top surgery have also been cancelled- which is just the cherry on top of it all.

However, I've decided to work through it. I remember fondly the days when drawing was my go-to to vent, and it feels like that spark is finally back at least. Things are still crappy, but we can manage. Once I have another few pages done, I will release them, and permalink my website to keep things nice and neatly organized. I'll be setting up a patreon as well- feels like everyone has one these days, doesn't it? But I hope it'll help me finance my mastectomy, as well as just regular life. It's every artists dream I think to be able to live off their art, and do what they love. It is very much mine, at least. I am still trying to figure out how to give people the best experience though. If people support me, it should be worth their time and money, after all.

That's it for now lovelies, I do hope to pick up the pace and post more regular updates.
<3

so my PC has just kicked the bucket, just as I was about to finish setting up my website and patreon...
It'll take a little bit to save up for a new one, as I don't have any income, but I will try to keep drawing and uploading stuff!

After thinking about creating an account here for a while now, I finally went through with it! To be honest it feels good, I've only ever been able to talk to two of my friends about my preferences for fur, and it felt really lonely; and while they never explicitly told me off, I still feel judged for it. I'm hoping I can find some nice people here and share my more explicit art and that someone might enjoy it.
Anyway, it might still take me a while to get this set-up properly and fill my gallery with things. I'm a starving student so I'm a bit busy most days.
