a friendly poster named "lions" irl

Pink- The original boy! A lil bit basic but all happy and well I see. Look at how he looks at you, if that doesn’t say, “im ready for the day i hope you are too” I dont know what it says. 10/10

Green- This lil kirb is angry and ready to fight! I hes a bit stern, I hope hes okay, but look how hes just tying to protect the planet! Greens a good colour on him, hope whatever he does goes well. 10/10

Yellow- Hes saying hi!!!! Hello there!!!! This ecstatic kirb wants to know how everyone is doing. Yellow means hapiness after all. Hes just the kind thatll just be friends with anyone no matter what. I appreciate that. 10/10

Blue- A little curious? A little confused? A little scared? No matter what he feels, he looks like the kind to explore the world, wandering from time to time. Feeling a little blue, but overall wise and a joy to be with. 10/10

I have some fairly big news I’ve been waiting until I had a new update to share. There’s one big thing and one small thing, so I’ll go ahead and do them in order.

First, the big thing: Dead Winter is now ad-free! This was a hard choice to make and it’s a big one, but it’s one I wanted to commit to. When I started a long time ago ads were a standard method of monetizing a free website, but over the years ads have become more intrusive and disruptive, and I realize this. I also realize many people use adblock to make their web browsing safer, so out of respect to my readers and the changing times I removed all the ads on Dead Winter’s site, so it can be a safe and easy place to read the comic. 

Another big part of this decision was Patreon. A number of very kind readers have been supporting my work directly, and I’m extremely grateful to them. reading the comic is now completely ad-free, but if you’d like to support my work you can become a patron too! I post weekly art updates and make detailed writeups about my process, techniques and thought process, so if you don’t like the wait you can get more at https://www.patreon.com/deadwinter. If you can’t or don’t wish to, the site is still free to you!  I wanted to make this change for my readers, so feel free to enjoy it as it is!

The second news item is a smaller one. Since I made the change to remove ads I decided to take a week and do some housekeeping on the site, giving it a new coat of paint. I fixed up some longstanding issues and, for the first time in a decade, Dead Winter now has a full and proper Cast Page! You can read it here: http://deadwinter.cc/cast. For old fans or new readers, you can get to know some details about the characters, or maybe remember some details you forgot about! I did a huge archive dive to try to fill it out as best I could, and I made up last names for everyone who didn’t have one stated in the comic, so give it a look if you’d like!

Yes I’m talking to you, Slate.
