Added 2022-04-06 19:01:54 +0000 UTCAnd we're back! Sorry for the delay, I got caught up tooling around with the colours (and still not happy with them) and time got away from me. Expect a new C6 every week henceforth~ CollarV will resume being a side project I'll do from time to time just for fun, but it won't be replacing any C6 updates anymore~
I want to thank all of you for sticking with me, despite my many, MANY shortcomings. I'll be working harder than I have before in hopes of making it up to y'all~
I'll check back after I get a little sleep to read y'alls comments~ Love y'all!

I’m in 200% agreement with Draconic on this. I’ll also add that you are at a moment in your story arch that can be very hard for authors that are empathetic towards their characters. The moment requires doing _really-bad-things_ to your characters. And in this format that requires drawing those things happening to them. It’s part of storytelling in anything more complex than a kids book. This is adult stuff, not goodnight-moon, characters get put through a lot of trials and tribulations. But that doesn’t make it easy to write and draw. The scene above is hot as hell in a consensual context, eg a fantasy being acted out. Omg. A Ponygirls being mounted and bred fantasy being acted out? I hear the squeeee’s from here. But you know that’s not the scenario. This might even feel a bit like you are violating them by drawing this. Some authors can gleefully put characters through hell and not be affected, others struggle, some immensely. I’m no shrink, and have no idea where you’d place yourself on that little spectrum, but I do wonder if that’s part of why the last few months have been particularly difficult. IF that feels plausible I have a suggestion that might help. Let your characters give you consent to do this to them. They are actors, you’re the director, together you are telling a story, a fantasy story.. in the story some bad things are happening without consent. If it helps maybe sketch a thing with all the characters giving you consent to act out this story. Then look at it frequently if needed.

I'm glad there's visible growth in this thing! I struggle with my limitations and understanding of anatomy (which is why the girls still wind up with balloon boobs all the time that frankly embarrass me) but I really do try and make each strip look better than the last and I'm sincerely happy that comes across to the reader. Thank you so much for this comment Draconic, it really brightened up my day! <3

It's genuinely amazing to look back and realize how much your art has developed over the years! That's why you should give yourself some slack about timelines and difficulties, you're consistently producing better and better art and including that in every strip, of course that's really difficult and takes time! Most artists don't continuously upgrade the art in a single comic, some don't even change across most of their career, they find an art level and style that matches their timescale and just stick to that. You meanwhile are doing comics endless runner/bullet hell style, just continuously upping the challenge you set yourself as your skills improve, and that's incredible, so recognise your prowess and how hard what you're doing is and give yourself the credit you deserve!!

She has bursts of dominance due to her connections to her girls and her natural dominance but its been slowly drained from her as the connections snap and Blackstone takes advantage of Michelle and Trina's personal connection and Trina feeling like she failed Michelle back during Michelle's Sixx testing.

2022-04-07 20:30:38 +0000 UTCI need to reread the previous strips. I thought Sixx was the one standing with the dildo strapper to her, not the one in the bondage frame on the receiving end.
