I guess one of Midnight’s turn-ons is being defeated by a more powerful opponent. Being submissive once vanquished may be a trait common in lower ranking mountain gnoll. Liking the looks of your vanquisher also helps…She should really come out and say what she wants though. A definite ‘yes’ is always very important 🙂 But there’s no time for that now (maybe I can do something with it on Patreon some time…)-They’ve got heroes to save! Or a close aproximation of heroes at any rate… I wonder how close Yeshka and Arjuna are to level2? Must be fairly close after taking Midnight down.
I realise Midnight’s attire changed slightly from the last page but I drew her like that and liked it so there it is. I expect Yeshka removed what was left of her torso armour and shoulder pad as loot. It’s pretty advanced tech so even selling it as scrap should raise a bit of drinking money 😉
If you can afford to, please back me on Patreon. Two pages every week and a new vote pic every month. That’s the dream. More backing means more time to work on the comic and bonus art 😉

A big ‘Thank you!’ to all my existing Patrons-you make this possible 🙂
Damn it Yeshka!!! Stop breaking the fourth wall.. Do you know how much it costs to repair that damned thing?
I can’t even get 4th wall insurance anymore. It’s tough making a web comic with such irresponsible characters! 😉
Whew, that was the hottest thing to happen in this comic so far. Happy to see that Yeshka got to be part of it.
Is this the first kiss of the comic? Not sure… 🙂
I am not sure either. So far you’ve taken a steamroller approach to fan service, i.e. pretty much shoving huge tits and asses into our faces as if you were competing with Grrlpower, and flushed faces were for comedic effect. XD
But this scene has sparks flying. If Midnight had been a man, Yeshka would’ve had to clean herself up afterwards.
The only difference between Grrlpower and BTB is the fact, Peter will not shy away from showing tatas.
The fan service is not a calculated attempt to garner a larger audience but more a motivator for myself (I really like drawing sexy characters ;)). I think both Mr Barrack and myself are keen disciples of Fred Perry (amongst other influences ) and he certainly has his share of sexy babes and lewd camera angles in his work.
That’s just the sort of comic I like so it’s the sort of comic I want to make 🙂 Not that it’s the only thing I read (I like some Manga and have read a lot of European comics too-includining Tintin and Lucky Luke etc) but ‘Gold Digger’ is definitely one of my favourites.
A lot of people will see any erotic content in a comic (skimpy costumes ect) as merely pandering to fans (ie-fan service) and look on it as a crutch and are even dissapointed in a creator for using it-like they(the creator) only did it to pander to the crowd or as a grave error of judgement-tarnishing what might have been. I on the other hand am dissapointed by comics that do not include sexy stuff. I will read things without such content, but I often think about how much better it might have been with a bit of sexy thrown in 😉
Again-Not saying everything should be wall to wall sex-But I think we should not be so harsh on ourselves for enjoying the things that do include the lewd. After all, the main reason it can be so jarring for many of us when we encounter sexy cartoons is that we are so used to the sanatised cartoons and comics of the larger industry. Whilst some may say (inaccurately in most cases) that indipendant artists create lewd work only to garner an audience, it is certain that these large companies keep things ‘clean’ to maximise profits.
Family friendly sells the merch. It sells the toys and the colouring books and the costumes and it (unlike sex which is said to sell) makes the big bucks. Which type of content then is pandering? The sexy comic that lets the artist off the leash or the sanitised, industrially produced books and films designed to appeal to the broadest market possible? I wonder 😉
And that is my opinion on ‘Fan service’ 😉
I think whether “sex sells” is a thing or not depends on whether the content is targeted at children or teens/adults. So, yeah, “family friendly” sells toys, while sex sells…. other toys, like body pillows and stuff.
Pandering to someone is not automatically a bad thing, because the market is all about demand and supply, so I can’t blame anyone for acting accordingly, but I do believe that art becomes better if artists can do whatever they like without thinking about demand. A type of pandering I don’t like is when excessive pandering – mostly in mainstream media – artificially creates demand and reduces diversity. Which is why I haven’t had a TV for 14 years now (i.e. ever since I started living on my own) and I don’t read the gutter press.
It’s good to read that you draw sexy characters just for fun instead of fame. 🙂 I didn’t mean the competing-with-Grrlpower thing literally, I just wanted to point out the huge tits both of you throw into our faces and that the current update was a refreshing change to the comedic bluntness.
That’s cool-I didn’t see your comment as being an attack-I’m just quite interested in the subject so tend to waffle on about it 🙂 I think many artists, when left to their own devices will draw a fair amount of lewd art. It’s the suits and money men that keep a lot of us in line. Which can be a good thing. There are lots of non-sexual films and stories and the like that are quite wonderful.
I just rail against the attitude that some people have towards erotic content-That it can only be an attempt at pandering-When actually the making of ‘clean’ content by the big business end of the entertainment undustry is far more calculating in it’s targetting of an audience than even the most coniving of indipendent creators could ever hope to be 🙂 They have whole teams-Whole divisions who’s sole purpose is to calculate how to appeal to the largest possible audience. Yet it is often the people that produce more niche, extreme content that are given the lable of pandering 🙂 Again-I know that’s not what you were saying. It’s just a subjct that interests me 🙂
I certainly would ship Yeshka and Midnight together and I hope there will be more of her
I’m sure there will be 🙂
was this published elsewhere before lmao semesa stretch to call 6 years almost a decade
although i guess if you round up it is
The comic was first published on Smack Jeeves and Comic Fury as well as a D&D forum site. I began work on it and produced the first pages in 2009 🙂
