He certainly will never be forgotten.

Rest in peace kyle

So glad you made this, Chaos. ^^
He will be missed.

I wanted to something even more, but it was hard to try to do.

It is the thought that counts.
And I know you truly mean it. ;)

🙏♥️♥️♥️🤍🤍💙💙

a very wonderful tribute~

Thanks.

Oh my god, I had no idea he passed away...
To die at such a young age is something no one should have to go through. I can't imagine what his parents are feeling. Thank you for making this.

He did indeed, last week.

And yeah, he was far too young.

I started to post my artwork on his site. He was one of the first people to introduce me to the furry community. Even though we were never close, I will always remember him.

It is hard, knowing he's gone. I might not have gone down the tickling rabbit hole if not for him. I always had an interest in it, but never had any interest in furry stuff. I still don't, but I am still here and that is thanks to Kyle.

he passed away?

He did indeed.

So what happened Kyle The Dragon

I feel I owe a lot of my roots to him as well, his site was super influential to me as a wee spud. I'll miss him as well. :c

He left quite the impact.

This is terrible news. While I never knew him or specifically followed him, I have seen his character and art around the community countless times. He always seemed like a big part of the community, like even people who don't know him still knew about him, and I feel that he will be truly missed by everyone.

Kyle Dragon is dead?!

He is indeed, sadly.

Although I never knew him personally, his death has truly affected me because of how influential he was and because of his will to live.

Friends of his like you, Chamaleonice or Sorcererlance are the reason I am here and you are here because of him. So, in a certain way, we all owe our presence in the community to Kyle.

Kyle was a pioneer and we must ensure the furry fandom remembers him as such, it's the least we can do for him.

This is an amazing tribute you did for Kyle.
I’ll miss him.

Thank you.

Yeah, I will as well.

It's a very nice tribute from you Chaos, I'm sure Kyle have smile from where he is now when he have see your little draw.

Rest in peace Kyle, no any of us will forget you indeed... U/\U

What a wonderful and touching tribute!

Thank you.

Rest in peace.

Rest in peace, Kyle.
My condolences to everyone who knew him.

No… Kyle Dragon can’t be dead… I wanted to see more of him…! 😞 can’t he at least get reincarnated or something?

I wanted to see more of Kyle Dragon… especially to see his beautiful feet some more… *cry in so much tears*

I had no idea. May he rest in peace.
I um... It's hard to think of what to say.

At least we still got Jael Dragon though. I kinda wanna see Jael have his feet tickled… to fill in the void. Kyle Dragon! Why!? 😭😔😢

Oi, can you stop thinking of just fetish stuff and think of Kyle as person instead, rather than acting like this is a void needing to be filled.

I know… it’s just hard to think of someone die so young you know 😔

It is indeed, but the tragedy here is not that a fetish icon was lost but that a real person died tragically at a young age.

Your comments come off as *wildly* insensitive and it's gross as fuck.

😔😢

Never forgotten. Always remembered. And his legacy lives in his stories, his characters, and in us who honor him

😔😢I just… wish I could see more of him…

I can't believe it, it's hard for me to think that someone who was there for years won't be there anymore. I met him in 2007 and since then and thanks to his art I knew that I was not alone, that there were more people who like me found eroticism in the feet and the tickling, and that helped me to accept myself as I am, I never met him in person, but I feel that I have lost a special friend. Goodbye little dragon I'm going to miss you

Same here… I wanted to see him more. And it’s thanks to him and his art that I wasn’t alone especially when it comes to seeing his feet being tickled which was the best art he came up with. Losing him feels like I just lost a piece of myself and a special friend. (Even though I’m worried he’ll soon be forgotten forevermore.) Now I’m feeling alone again… 😔😢

Are you kidding? With a reputation like his, none of us can forget him.

I know… it’s just with him gone, I’m worried that his legacy will cease to exist… 😔😢 I hope there’s a way he can be reincarnated at the very least. I always admired his feet tickle art and they’ve been the best he ever did

It's a wholesome thought. He fought his illness bravely.
He'll be missed. ;_;

Oh now I get it… even though he himself has passed away, it doesn’t nessesarily mean that his character “Kyle Dragon” is dead along with him. His character must still live on just like all the characters he did… 😊

I highly doubt his characters will be drawn much more nowadays outside of memorials, out of respect for his passing.

I guess… but it’s the thought that counts right? I do hope more of his characters will be drawn… but only time will tell 😊

I hope his characters no longer show up in fetish work because it would feel very disrespectful and tasteless. He was more than just fetish fuel. :\

Maybe they’ll show up in fetish work, maybe they won’t… Only time will tell… ;)

... bruh you're being really insensitive right now.

Oh come on dude… I still think of him as a person but I also appreciate his work most of the time. There ain’t nothing insensitive about it :)

I do sadly have to agree with this. You are being a bit insensitive right now.

Look, I get it, you are sad about it. A lot of us are, but as should be shown clearly here, people aren't gonna forget Kyle or his legacy. Nor are his characters just going to disappear. I actually have it on decent authority that he wouldn't have wanted them to not be used anymore. It just isn't gonna happen anytime soon, nor should it. It's too soon to have more tickle drawings of his characters, especially for those closest to him. So, I can assure you that there will be more in the future, you just have to be willing to wait for when people are ready for it.

And another thing is that, I am struggling and it's really hard to try and process all of these things when I get people constantly reminding me about this sort of thing. I like people giving their thoughts, but I don't want to be constantly reminded of things like "I can't believe there won't be any more pics of him." It doesn't help, it isn't appropriate and a lot of us don't appreciate it.

So, here's the last bit of what I have to say on this and I hope you take this to heart and stop pressing the issue. Kyle isn't gonna be forgotten, nor is his legacy. I think it can be safely said at this point that people aren't gonna let that happen. No, there is not gonna be any tickle pics of his characters any time soon, but not forever. And finally, just remember we're all trying to deal with this and in some cases like mine, we have other tragedies in our lives that we're still trying to get through. Please just remember that.

It is a beautiful tribute. Really. I wish I was able to draw something… yet I cannot find the inspiration neither the motivation. It sounds quite ironical knowing that Kyle's website was where everything had begun for me. Therefore he was (among) the one(s) who inspired and motivated myself to code my own website in 2006 (using my RL identity, hopefully the server hosting my site crashed more than ten years ago).

Anyway, I am not good at expressing my feelings (not only because of my poor English, even in French, I cannot find the words). Some people comments will be far more relevant than anything I could write. For example, BrawlKoopa comment on Chameleonice last journal describes quite well what I am feeling now: He brought us together, he opened the door for many artists and writers to get their work seen. Without him, I don't know if I would of met so many people I consider some of my best friends this day. […] Now once more you have brought us all together. One last time. You may no longer be with us, but you will forever be within us. <source>

Qu'il repose en paix.

Been trying to think up a response to this image, been unable to put my thoughts into words for the last few days for a variety of reasons.

It's beautiful tribute for a beautiful person, and I hope he can rest well. He fought a brutal battle and even though he didn't make it out, IMO he still won by continuing to fight bravely and smile all the way through. His values were never lost.

May he rest in peace. He deserved so much more, hopefully we can keep his legacy alive by remembering him fondly.

I understand that feeling. I had to take awhile to actually make any pic or statement. It's not something that is ever gonna be easy. I too hope he can rest well and that he at least felt proud to have given it his all. I think he could have beaten it, he just had some misfortunes happen. And that sadly is something that we'll have to live with, but he'd probably want us to keep trucking on regardless.

However, I will say that I do have it on relatively good authority that Kyle wouldn't have wanted people to stop using his characters. You are right that he was more than a fetish artist and in my opinion, I don't think people should jump to make more anytime. But I think it's important to remember that he did commit himself to making tickle stories and such. If ever there was a way to honor that, tasteful tickle stories and pics are the best way to do it.

But, again, as I said, it shouldn't be done any time soon. I know for a fact I couldn't do it anytime soon myself. And that's simply because it is too soon and people need to process it. If they don't, then we won't be able to truly honor him.

I hope that helps out with some idea of what I think Kyle would have wanted. However, I can understand that some people just can't see them in more tickle art in the future. I think that's a completely understandable position. Either way, though, we just have to move forward. That's the most important step right now.

I think that's a fair way to keep his legacy going strong. I just figured it was too soon to think of stuff like that -- at least in my opinion. He just passed, and he was a person after all, so I figured mourning the person came first and foremost.

If he ever does show up in tickle works again, I wouldn't want it to be right this second. It would feel very inappropriate this soon.

I do so agree with that. It is indeed far too soon.

Indeed.

Anyhoo, sorry to clog up your comments -- just felt the need to... well, say some things.

It's fine, I don't mind. People need to express their feelings on this.

I am still not able to process his passing either.

This is a very sweet picture and tribute, thank you for doing it.

This is a great tribute. I made a special tribute too.
