How is nobody talking about the new comic he just dropped on DA?

>>287655 because its old news? should be up to page 5 by now

>>287659 speaking of someone dropped the new page in the old thread

>>287738 What the actual fuck! When at any point was this setting supposed to have non humans in it?!?!

>>287769 I think those chick just has a sharp tooth

>>287793 she also has a tail my guy

>>287799 And pointy ears

>>287769 I don't believe Sig takes place in the same universe as DE, Belt never mentioned this being a spin iff or set in the same continuity. That being said. Fuck this comic. I was so ready to work on this, but that bastard pulled the rug last second.

>>287738 >>287769 >>287809 Un-anthros your anthro. Nothing a little in-painting can't fix. Enjoy going to town with this.

>>287769 Sigrid is based on a modern fantasy version of Norway i think Belt have mentioned, and Matilda is a troll species

>>287843 Well shit, Sigrid takes place in Norway, the Domino Effect takes place in Norway. What's next Belt making a character who's name is Byford and is half dolphin working on an Equinor off shore oil platform in the North Sea?

>>287847 Interesting premise, but how would this "Byford" gain tremendous ammounts of weight in an off shore oil platform? ...Maybe it eats the oil?

>>287820 This genuinely looks better imo.

>>287820 this is an improvement, thank you

Alright, conspiracy time. On page 106.5, Nina calls Mari a troll while she orders food at the place she works at. Matilda is a troll... with a very similar build (tall, muscular, big tits). Foreshadowing? Also Matilda would've been amazing if she had an ass like Tanya as well. Mari-Tanya hybrid sounds hot af

>>287855 Byford doesn't gain weight, it loses pressure very quickly.

>>287809 Are you the faggot who was mad because you felt like you were owed something lol

>>288039 I read "Buford" lmao

New page is up!

WE WOULD PRAY FOR DAYS LIKE THIS

>>289022 I hate this fucking faggot Pernille, but there is definitely a good end to these means.

>>289022 Belt finally remembered this is a fat fetish comic hoooooly fuck

>>289022 There's no way Emma is not puking her guts out after this

>>289022 Four days late and this is the shit we got. Don't get me wrong, it's great seeing Emma bloated on booze, but with Pernille getting involved for no good reason and Nikolai being too horny to think straight, it feels there is way too much extra crap going on for what should just be a chugging scene. A scene like this shouldn't take that damn long, yet here it is being dragged out for another 2 weeks. Idk how belt gotten worse with pacing over the years.

Dont shit on Bailys, that stuff is amazing in coffee

>>289093 I drank it only once. it's extremely sweet and I bet high in calories. I like where this is going.

>>289022 Chugging contest coming next?

>>289107 Yea, one bottle of 0.7L Baileys is atleast 2000 calories, which is very calorie heavy

>>289022 I think Eli animated his GF into behaving like this. Oh Tanja here is a Bootle of extra fattening liquor that goes well with pastries. Hey Emma bloat yourself in from of Niko. Also the fact that Pernile is noticeably fatter is a nice touch. She did promise Eli to do anything he wants.

>>289114 Jesus, one bottle is over 2000 calories? That one bottle is someone's daily calorie limit

Holy dead thread, this thing hasn't been updated since Christmas Eve.

He's been posting a lot less though

>>291080 Ingrid is hot. But, to me, the big girl seems to connect poorly through her midsection. I can’t make out her shape.

>>291080 I hope Emma gets that big one day.

>>287555 Belt Buster please take a hiatus from The Domni Effect and actually make something good like a short Monster Musume comic

>>291077 For some reason Belt never made a public post about it, but on his Patreon server he said he was taking a break until 6th-7th Jan.

News from belts patreon server: he's going to draw the upcoming domino effect chapter more like manga/comic pages rather than a webcomic (so several smaller pages rather than one long page) Seems abrupt and weird to do this considering how long the comics been going with the current format and how he's not done a manga format in like 3-4 years? Maybe it'll look better though

>>291318 honestly fine with me. the webcomic style is fine when i'm actually online, but if ever I go through my folder and open the image up in photos, it's annoying resizing it and going through them

Reading the initial announcement for tde belt did say he wanted to do it forever. However it feels like this weight gain comic, having gone on for 5 years now, has very little weight gain. I recognize that such a slow pace isn't my style but I feel like calling it a weight gain comic is a bit generous. Its more of a comic about people eating with the occasional obese woman. Idk sorry, ik ik dont like dont read, etc. I guess im just a little surprised at the staying power of the comic is all.

>>291322 >Reading the initial announcement for tde belt did say he wanted to do it forever. However it feels like this weight gain comic, having gone on for 5 years now, has very little weight gain He said in 2024 before the Nina arc that the comic was 60% done. Hard to say how much there's left though >I recognize that such a slow pace isn't my style but I feel like calling it a weight gain comic is a bit generous. Its more of a comic about people eating with the occasional obese woman. Comic had more WG before tbh. Personally I do like slow pacing comics in theory but if you ask me these last few arcs have way too much plot and melodrama when the main interest should be the girls and their weight gain.

>>291322 Honestly should be a crime to have people pay years for a weight gain comic, but barely have any weight gain in it.

>>291322 God I love his style so much and the weight gain progression at the start was somewhat promising just to turn into infrequent melodrama slop with the weight gain part on the backburner. Still better than some wg comics I've seen but thats mostly in the style department.

>>291322 I tune out unless Anne Marie is being xboxhueg, otherwise I scroll through yet another wall of panels and words before going on with my day. Good for him for finding a way to earn an audience and an income from something he likes to do, fools and their money etc. etc.

Any new pages up yet?

>>291417 Belt release new page or draw 20 - I don't think so.

>>291319 I don't like the webcomic style for the same issues you mentioned but its been used for so long that it'd be genuinely jarring to have it switched up now. Like there's no point.

Belt said new domino page on tuesday or wednesday

>>292184 B-But has talked about NEW honest-to-God weight gain for these girls???

>>292848 My bet is he lurks here and other places and is trying to find ways to appease the fans while also still telling a story (since this IS a fetish story). I'm just hoping for more blobs and or sex w/ blobs to finally start happening. Shit like this is why I couldn't get through Lunch Break. Like, when it comes to Fetish stories/comics SPECIFICALLY; yeah you can tell a great story. But it's not the story that should draw people in but the Fetish based off it. I know Belt said he made the girls a bit too big in the beginning and wanted to slow it down; but I swear it's been like 10-20 chapters with VERY little to no weight gain.

>>292854 >I know Belt said he made the girls a bit too big in the beginning and wanted to slow it down That's when I started to lost interest, mostly because he started to draw the girls smaller too. If you compare how the main girls looked back then to now it's like it became a weight loss comic

>>292858 "Thanks for joining me out,"? Way to fail your grammar there, Belt.

>>292867 Isn't English Belt's second language?

>>292854 Looking back on older panels it's pretty obvious. The first few strips where Anne-Marie was introduced, she was absolutely fucking huge and now it's like, she's still the fattest one say for the models but she's noticeably smaller. It's been nearly 4 years since I started reading this comic, would lowkey expect at least one of the girls to be substantially bigger by now.

>>292858 Even being generous this is barely a weight gain comic at this point, it's so secondary it's almost just set dressing when you go back to the early pages and see how much more prevalent it is And to really highlight just how little weight gain there's been I autistically searched through to find the very first time Emma weighed herself, which I think was all the way back in 2022, to the most recent time which was 3 years later. She went from 77kg to 110kg. That is barely 70lbs in over 3 years. You can legitimately just watch a real woman get fatter faster. I desperately need belt to speed things up because this is a fetish comic and some of these girls are meant to be deliberately gaining yet we have to wait longer than is reasonable at this point

>>292906 >>292906 The speed the comic was moving was already glacial and now the amount of releases has been cut in half to work on the sigrid comic. It's a real shame but I wouldn't expect much at all going forward

>>292897 Honestly a big part of why Anne-Marie is best girl is that she's just an unapologetic fatass from the start (And is still huge even though Belt has drawn her smaller for whatever reason) rather than spending 50 pages to put on 10 pounds at an absolute snail's pace like the rest of the cast. I do like some of the other characters but she feels like the only major recurring character who actually belongs in a weight gain comic (The Russian girl has appeared like what, twice?). Give me an Anne-Marie arc over this boring as sin cult-whateverthefuck Eli plotline any day.

Not much happens when the last release was almost a month ago. What happened to a new page this week, hm? I think most complaints are just because we have been stuck on the same 3 pages since the beginning of DECEMBER. If anything is wrong here, it's Belt's dismal upload schedule. Even slopologists like Kipteitei at least crank out 1-2 pages a week. We get 1-2 a MONTH.

>>292892 The terrible grammar belt has is due to the fact he writes the text for his pieces last, generally minutes before posting it, so he almost never gives it a second look over. Speaking of him posting, the reason theres no part yet is because he apparently drew two 'pages' (whatever that means at this point) worth of comic. He said he was aiming for 6, and ended up making 8. I've got no faith in him keeping to a schedule if this is how we're starting out with his new format.

>>292929 Doesn't he have a writer? I recall a post saying he collaborates with someone for the story and dialogue.

>>292919 I think hes completely burnt out and wont admit it. The right thing to do is go on hiatus and shutdown the patreon. But its easier to keep saying you're sick so you can keep collecting that free $.

>>292929 I think he's just lying to obscure the fact he has an utterly dogshit work ethic. He still cranks out his blobslop artpieces by the dozen, but can't manage to give us some panels of our god-given Emma and Tania? Get the fuck outta here. This is a superb exercise in edging his clientele as the monthly payments rack up. Did I mention his patreon fees are extortionate yet? Most Patreon upper tiers top out at somewhere around €10 a month, where you get the ability to request a character (or even multiple) each month. With Belt, it's €180 MONTHLY to get a *singular* character drawn by him. What a deeply unserious artist.

Even despite this, he still earns less than Pixiveo of all people. Pathetic.

>>292960 Its almost like people who pay for Salt's Patreon are tired of seeing Lucyguy pay for everything for another piece of Lucy art for the 50th time

>>292975 ....Salt?

>>292975 Wrong thread, buddy.

>>292960 This is quite surprising since Pix is just okay, hasn't improved his art and all for YEARS and his comic just sucks >>292975 Lucyguy isn't responsible for the poll choices retard. But yeah wrong thread

>>292997 I know Pixiveo isn't too highly regarded here, but I know a lot of people who like his art and Log Myu (me being one of them). I'd say they don't really intersect with the average guy you'd find on here, but it's still a large audience nonetheless.

>>292999 yeah the opinions of anyone on here should be taken with a grain of salt. At the end of the day if these artists/comics were bad then they wouldnt have over 2 thousand people paying them every month. >>292960 When was the last time you made anything that even 1 person would buy? Let alone 2400.

Here's the new format

>>293005 You'd be amazed how surface level many peoples view on a comic's quality is. A comic can lack substance or coherence, but so long as the art is pretty, people will happily not put any further thought into the quality of it.

>>293012 So many panels and it feels like jack fucking shit happened. This is dismal.

>>293015 >Belt puts one of best looking comics i have seen in this community, while being entertaining >This bitch exist No wonder artists dont come here, actual shizos

>>293014 >>293017 Right before our eyes lmao God, why do these women want Niko again? He's really the most boring dude on the cast.

>>293019 Cause one's a childhood friend who wants to go up with him and is getting more attention then others (Emma) One shows more interactions and is smart albeit too blind by their own lust (Tanya) One had held a crush on them for years and is a great choice (Marie) and then there's the other one (Anna-Marie), who everybody here likes.

>>293017 Thanks for proving my point lol

This entire thread

>>293017 Comic was pretty well-liked here before, don't act as if people turned negative on it for no reason

>>289022 >>293012 >>293013 >chugging scene >interrupted after month long page wait still some hot shots but i hope this beer pong delivers

>>293013 This is some One Serving Choice level uneventfulness, really jarring to see given how the story is usually very tight and substantial

>>292929 >The terrible grammar belt has is due to the fact he writes the text for his pieces last, generally minutes before posting it, so he almost never gives it a second look over. Idk his work process but the reason for his bad grammar is that he's ESL.

>>293022 I know that, but but what Niko as a PERSON makes then like him. He's just a nice dude. That's about it.

>>293067 Im in his discord server and he rarely has issues with his grammar when talking or sending messages. It mostly comes up in his work, again because he doesn’t proofread stuff. If he took the time to let things rest then reread them before posting this would probably happen way less.

>>293013 Emma is literally gonna kill herself for Niko's cock. If she wasn't best girl already... dear Belt, make this girl have sex with Niko tonight.

>>292960 Belt has been around less than Pix and has less content yet has 80% of the support and 60% of the earnings. yeah, that's not as bad as you idiots are making it out to be

>>293013 content aside, I do prefer the multiple pages more than one lengthy, manhwa-style page

>>293109 I might prefer it if it was anyone besides belt using it. I’m not convinced he’ll make the best use of the format, as he seems keen on focusing on irrelevant details and information rather than what’s actually interesting. Before he at least had a canvas limit to prevent him from making things too long, now he can keep adding pages and convince himself that a page mostly comprised of Mari and Tanya’s thoughts on beer pong is necessary.

>>293109 In principle I like this style more as well, but I'm not a fan of his paneling in these new pages. Ending the page in the lower left corner (4th and 5th) should be criminal in a western style comic. And the third new page is just a mess in flow, I guess it's supposed to be snaking or something but I don't like it.

>>293377 Bro...Belt Buster... Please for the love of fuck put the same level of effort into youre comic...

>>293378 But that would mean putting fat fetish into the fat fetish comic! Perish the thought, that's not what the domino effect is about! /s

>>293378 Agreed, Belt should stop making comics and focus solely on the actual art.

>>293377 Took me so long to see it's Lene from TDE bc Belt's normal style is leagues ahead of the comic (Both good but this is peak)

>>293380 Damn this is so so good. More of this belt! It's his comic and nothing is stopping him from throwing in more scenes like this. Just the odd frame like this actually focused on fat girls would do wonders to improve the pacing

>>293559 >>293560 He makes TDE like normal, but just randomly includes one super-high quality panel in his normal artstyle

>>293560 You'd be amazed at how belt is his own worst enemy when making the comic. He wants the comic to be more than 'just fat girls', despite the fact thats why it even exists in the first place. >>293562 LMAO this would be funny, but given how the comic released 3 days late as is, I can only imagine the amount of time putting in this level of painting would take. Although with the new format, perhaps it would at least fit in better...

god, seeping corruption at its finest. she herself is falling into temptation and succumbing to being a lard filled cow

>>293379 I know it sounds crazy, but it could work

>>293567 >He makes TDE like normal, but just randomly includes one super-high quality panel in his normal artstyle. I'm the anon who made that post, and I'm glad you found it funny.

>>294112 That's just Lene and Mari lmfao

>>294112 Im not digging the multispecies angle of this comic

>>294112 Wasn’t this comic originally ment to be short and focused on the weight gain? The fuck is all this?

>>294148 >Whereas the Domino Effect is a story with weight gain elements; Sigrid's Daily life is gonna be a weight gain comic with story elements. >So the focus will be more fat and weight gain focused rather than story for SDL, but there will still be some story to serve the characters and their moments! Sorta but with the slow ass release it'll take forever to get to the good parts (it started in august)

>>294112 Hope that with a clearly defined by the story itself as a "bitch", we might get a corset subplot for her I don't remark Belt ever having done corset stuff before now that I think about it

>>294124 >>294148 >>294155 You can always go to >>260532 for your speed of WG

>>294194 Don't try to fucking defend this shit.

>>294148 The ability to draw weight gain leaving the body of artists as soon as they start doing comics and being replaced by the need to add endless trash subplots and side characters

>>294194 >>293091 Belt has the earnings a boring patreon hook comic that constantly drifts away from his main attraction deserves. The fucker is a coward, wants do some retarded slice of life shit, but knows his boring ass writing alone would never give him better numbers. If hes in so much need for money for the house he bitched about sometime ago. Cut the crap, no in-betweens, lukewarm points, give the Lene treatment to the whole cast, write a way to get all the bitches in a line and pump them full of lard, doesn't even have to be all at the same time, imagine how much money individual arcs would make.

>>294243 Belt Buster has the choice of either keep making slop, but getting payed less for it or actually work on the comic, have weight gain and wrap up the story for which he will get payed more for and will be able to work on other projects

>>294243 I would have defended Belt earlier, but yeah. It's been a drag since that Party Arc. I seriously don't know what Belt wants to achieve with this story. I don't care about the secret society fattening people up, I don't care about fuckwad one and two stalking them, I don't care about Lene and her bullshit, I don't care about Eli and constant need to be as shady as possible, I most certainly don't care for Nico and his trauma because Belt keeps using it to keep Nico from actually making a move on anyone and not having him progress past it. Had this comic just been a literal domino effect of characters getting fatter because of Nico, it would have been fine. But no, now we have like 3 different subplots, a running mystery, and a story trying to be a drama all while having the slowest fucking release schedule on the world. Why did we waste time on Lene and Andre, oh wait, Andre is his friend's character he included in the series? That explains it. Why did we need an arc of Fredrick snowboarding If Mari is only going to fiend for Nico afterwards? Who knows. And before any of you motherfuckers link me Saxxon thread, I am NOT asking for the girls to gain a mile a minute for there to be no conflict. It's a comic and it was clearly meant to be a slow burn. I'm just trying to point out how this comic went froma pretty simple and enjoyable story and has leaned into scope creep. Just like OSC, just like Log Myu. I have no clue why everyone who makes an ongoing comic starts to lose to the same pitfalls.

>>294277 >Why did we waste time on Lene and Andre, oh wait, Andre is his friend's character he included in the series? The funny part is, regardless of how people feel about that plotline, they were some of the very few characters who were actively putting on weight and were visibly fatter with each appearance, which is what I'd expect from a fucking WG comic. The contrast in pacing between how quickly they got fat compared with the 'main' cast is really jarring. I get some people don't like the mutual WG plotline but it's crazy to me that Belt has essentially just axed the only WG arc that was actually moving at a decent speed, compared with Emma/Mari/Tanya who have been at the same size for last 3 or 4 of these fucking threads.

>>294277 At least the characters in Log Myu actually visibly gain weight. We have been on the same fucking 5 kilos for nigh-on 40 pages now for the relevant girls (Emma, . The shitty upload schedule notwithstanding, that is a long fucking time. I genuinely do agree though - just fucking focus on the love triangle/dodecahedron/whatever that is going on between Niko and the Girls™. Make Mari have copious amounts of sex with Fredrik. I don't care. Just focus on the girls who are fighting for Niko and exclude all the others. This includes those blobshit characters of the week and everything and everyone related to motherfucking Eli. Maybe then Niko's "mysterious" trauma would be much less of an obstruction too, if it got more than just some off-handed loredrops and an easy justification for him not going for Emma.

>>294288 oops, forgot to complete the bracket section. was supposed to be (Emma, Tania, Mari, the farmer girl whose name I keep forgetting)

This board is never happy with WG comics.

>>294382 Wah wah wah, shut the fuck up. Please stop acting like Belt wasn't getting anything but good reception until the last few threads. Guess what happens when you start to drag a story and add unnecessary elements? Criticism and complaints.

>>294382 Maybe because people who spend money on patreon on comissions don't want to see more "weight gain" slop story that does nothing but delay the artists even more from posting potential artwork of a character they want to see fattened up

>>294382 Hey, guy who's been lurking these threads since like thread 5 or so. The comic was receiving near total praise for the first solid stretch, only starting to fizzle out recently since the weight gain (MAIN SELLING POINT OF WG ART) slowed to a (let's be real) complete halt. Honestly if Belt picked up the pace by just a bit (where it's noticeable that they're getting fatter) I can assure you complaints would dwindle.

>>294382 Yeah people are getting frustrated a WG comic barley has WG in it shocker. I haven’t fully given up on belts comic yet but I hope he doesn’t go down the Kip route of making a forever comic full of slop melodrama and zero WG just to milk his patreon

>>294385 Lmao you guys aren't paying, if you are your complaints would be better posted on Patreon >>294384 >>294390 >>294509 Ok well words are too hard for you read and plots too hard for you to grasp, here are some artist that'll listen to you even for free and have girls gain 50000lbs per panel when you see them no wait >>278517 >>267308 >>260532 >>292247 enjoy

>>294513 Woah, havent seen dickriding this hard since the Beach Stuff comic from the BWS thread. We dont need to pay to voice our concerns and hate towards the direction Belt is taking. We talk because this is a free space and it matters to us what is happening. And guess want? Obviously people from patreon also know about this place. This just seem like an attempt to shift the topic to something more fitting to your needs(same shit has happened before in Pixiveo,Kipteitei and BWS). Scared Belt pulls out a public survey like BWS did year?...

>>294382 I'm going to be honest with you: Nearly every single long-form WG comic sucks. Writing a long-form story in comic form requires more skills than just drawing decently and most artists are lacking them. TDE is a "story with weight gain elements" (in Belt's own words) and as such the writing will be judged far more with the plot being a central element. Mind you that the comic had far more WG and feeding stuff back when it started, now it's been 5 years since then and Belt wants to deal with the MC's split personality, side characters having a relationship drama, the Illuminati but with feeders...

>>294550 I think there are good ones. Plus Size ICU and Ayano's Diary come to mind, along with the medium-sized Habutton productions like GF Came Back from Student Trip or Track Team Girl. I personally also have a weak spot for Log Myu, but I know I am the only one with that here. Point is - it can work, but Belt is a useless sack of shit who couldn't work on shit if you pointed a gun at him. He doesn't draw, his characters don't progress, the weight isn't gained, the retarded "drama" isn't ever explained. All he ever does is whine about buying a house and produce his regurgitated blobslop of the week. It's very realistic, actually - a real person could have gained thrice the amount of weight this week that his shit-eating characters have gained this YEAR. Belt's law: If it can be done wrong, Belt does it.

>>294513 I do actually pay for his patreon and I have been for a while cus I was happy with the content he was putting out but if February ends up being another disappointing month I’m dropping it cus I’m not just gunna blindly defend these people and go along with their slop like you bootlickers

>>294555 If you think ICU and Ayano are good go support them in those patreon's or threads. I don' think ICU is that great, Ayano is overrated but you wouldn't catch me in those threads complaining i'd rather support Belt. I don't think I log Miyu fan should really be calling anyone a "useless sack of shit" especially if you're not a content creator, what have you produced other than bitching?

>>294647 >"Don't complain about Belt's comic!" >takes jabs at other comics Also what gives you the right to criticize Log Myu and Ayano, are you an artist? Have you produced anything before?

>>294112 Quick and dirty edit

>>294661 ...what changed?

>>294684 Look at their heads

>>294686 Belt's anthro is so shit I don't even notice it being there at all. Dear christ.

>>294661 Depending on how motivated I am, I might go ahead and un-antho every anthro-featuring page.

>>295252 Who is this?

>>295257 Edith Up from Rayman

>>295252 Bruh why are his commissions always the hottest shit but his comic the weakeast?

>>294112 We can never just have something like the weight gain drive comic again can we?

>>295261 It’s the same shit with Kip for me

>>295291 And Pixiveo, SDC.... everyones going down the same shit hole

>>295297 Makes you wonder what would happen if a new artist tried to do a comic without all this bullshit.

>>295333 Only one I can think off is Steel Cook. I cant draw for shit so I can only give story ideas

>>295333 >Makes you wonder what would happen if a new artist tried to do a comic without all this bullshit. They would immediately give up working on it after completing their first issue and realizing they have no real means of recouping the time and money that went in to producing it (e.g. selling physical copies plus merch at annual, bi-yearly conventions somewhere).

>>295333 >Makes you wonder what would happen if a new artist tried to do a comic without all this bullshit. You mean make a long format weight gain story? Happens quite a lot, you just don't hear about them because people aren't as vocal if there isn't a dedicated thread. Now here's a better question, what if an artist got a dedicated team and was able to pump out a comic/manga like shounen artists do every week (10-20 pages weekly), that'd be far more interesting.

>>295358 That makes money and time. And kinda negates the point of a porn comic? You shouldn't NEED a team to tell a good story, or make a comic about a woman getting fat, but these artist would make you think otherwise when reading them.

>>295333 I’m trying anon, one day I’ll have a thread here for people to bitch in

>>295358 Check out Angeltights on Twitter. They're not exactly making comics but the are a team posting on one account.

>>295358 >Now here's a better question, what if an artist got a dedicated team and was able to pump out a comic/manga like shounen artists do every week (10-20 pages weekly), that'd be far more interesting. Realistically it would be a handful of single page one-shots spread across every other week between 2-3 artists (as the other anon mentioned, just like Angeltights; or even Team K-Type when they were still active) Otherwise, you can expect a 6-10 month wait for one artist to produce a polished, 15-30 page comic ideally meant for sale at convention.

>>295363 It's just a matter of that all these artists simply don't have experience with writing. They're starting at amateur quality with no real editorial help to guide or advise. I wouldn't expect these artists to be on such a high level fresh off the boat either, but several bite off more than they can chew when smaller projects would likely be a smarter choice to start with. Belt had a 'writers corner' channel in his discord for higher paying users to provide suggestions on the story, but it was exactly that - suggestions, which he was more than likely inclined to disregard, making it largely a moot benefit besides seeing WIPs of the comics.

>>295391 Blackjack's writing isn't the most consistent thing between projects. Probably because he handling a thousand projects between multiple artist. Also, BJ isn't an artist. He is primarily a writer. Of course he's going to fair better.

>>295391 Gotta say, I missed the big collabs DrBlackJack did back in the day. Like when he pulled a bunch of artists and programmers to create that DDLC game and the two FNAF ones.

>>295384 >It's just a matter of that all these artists simply don't have experience with writing Someone send em a copy of Sam Delany's About Writing or even The Jewel-Hinged Jaw and Starboard Wine then, 💀. I think the most frustrating thing about the online, western indie comics space (erotic and otherwise) is that everyone's trying to mimic the webtoon or manga/doujinshi format without any prior knowledge as to how or why these formats work in their respective countries. >>295392 I still wanna know how drblackjack is able to afford so many commissions on a recurring basis. It's evident that not even oldhats like kuronpu can resist that rich Australian; his rates must be irresistible. I just wish he had better organized collections, with tags and all. Just because he's a writer doesn't make him a better steward. Even so, that still makes him better than your average artist who treats their social media profiles as portfolio websites.

>>295442 >I still wanna know how drblackjack is able to afford so many commissions on a recurring basis. It's evident that not even oldhats like kuronpu can resist that rich Australian; his rates must be irresistible. I am pretty sure that is where he puts all of his disposable income into, considering the hours he puts into it likely takes up most of his free time outside of his work.

>>295442 God. I wish I had money to waste like that. There are many artist I'd funnel cash to just to get what I want drawn.

>>295442 >>295443 I'm pretty sure he's mentioned he's an actual doctor or medical practitioner

>>295584 He probably would say so for clout, but I can say he gets paid like one but really isn't.

Out of the loop here and I can see the thread is drifting somewhat so what's the status of Domino Theory? Just on a break or hiatus? Does anyone know?

>>295756 nobody cares, the comic got so boring people would rather discuss about other artists...

>>295756 *The Domino Effect, stupid adhd brain of mine. But y'all know what I meant.

>>295756 It's not on break afaik. Belt's just failing to stick to his schedule, as is the unfortunate norm.

>>295787 It was pretty retarded of him to start another comic while already doing a comic.

>>287555 >>295794 >>295777 God if bro made a short 5-10 page comic i would be busting it for days

>>295794 Ikr? He gets to decide the pace of his projects yet he got impatient with tde so started a second one, as if that'll help speed up the first one. He still never got around to finishing that 'Christmas Girl' mini comic from a few years back, and that was only meant to run for a few months.

>>295801 Yep. Very disappointing.

>>295805 God I want a continuation of this so bad man

>>295895 So do I. I’ve been wondering what part Eight would look like if this continued that’s if the artist will do it because this one is a must too look at as a story.

>>295584 If that's true, that has to be the biggest form of irony I've ever seen. A doctor who makes weight-gain comics.

>>295917 Belt ran a survey for his subscribers few months back on what they wanted to see most, predictably most wanted to see the main comic, so the chances of him finishing this old project anytime soon, if ever, is slim

I like how Emma's developed more of a rounder, softer face and a double chin from these recent pages.

>>293015 On the contrary, Emma's now discovered that forced drinking expansion gets Nikolai going. Wouldn't surprise me if she takes up chugging more earnestly in the future.

>>295960 I'd already noticed, or is it just me, or is another one of Niko's friends also getting a little heavier?

>>295960 Emma is 100% gonna stuff herself on pizza. She simply can't *stand* being the only one who wont stuff herself to please Niko. Also MARI TITS MARI TITS YEEEEES

>>295992 Really looking forward to it 😁 Too bad we won’t get to see it until March (if we’re lucky)

>>293038 >>295960 >>295961 beer pong did not deliver

quick edit I made to make the hot tub hotter

Oops. I just realized I forgot to give Emma Bottoms

>>296128 If it fits you well, because personally it's obvious that what the girls are wearing doesn't look like a swimsuit and looks more like sportswear.

>>295979 That girl will ruin herself for Niko and I'm all here for it. Just for sheer dedication, she deserves the win. Get her to 200 kg and get her with a guy now. She needs a feeder.

>>294382 Because they suck. The comics keep getting stalled out with stupid bullshit no one cares about since there's financial incentive to drag the stories out for as long as possible in order to milk money out of patrons.

>>296326 I don’t get why they do this. It can’t be about money. If they just let the story progress and finish, then start a new one, they will make just as much. I think they get stuck in their own story somehow can’t help themselves. It starts being about something else

>>296344 who would have guessed that the weight gain fetish community would have poor impulse control

>>296344 Writing is hard. Comics are as much about the writing and using the art and panel layouts to best express that story. Artists who make a name for themselves with pinups and sequences think they're untouchable and invariably wind up writing themselves into a corner. Rinse and repeat.

>>296344 As far as belt is concerned, I think he's just that dogshit at pacing and planning the comic. He constantly overestimates himself and takes on far more work than he can reasonably handle. It's clear he doesn't ever plan ahead in any meaningful way. He's failed to complete comics before, both with his super old A Feast Before My Eyes, and the Christmas Girl piece, but hasn't learnt from these failures. The latest comic part for the domino effect was 3-4 days late for its release. Guy has never figured out how to draft up his work ahead of time, or stick to a goddamn schedule.

>>296361 I've had a conversation with him before as we were actually talking about the topic of comic/manga pacing since i am also doing sum out of this scene (just said that for context i won't self promote) and he came across like he loses interest fast, basically saying if a series in general doesn't start interesting he loses interest, so it could be that at some point, he loses interest in his own series. Who knows but since i know this may aswell say it.

>>296373 >>296361 >>296349 Stop giving belt excuses. Making a porn comic isnt that hard. Its a fucking porn comic. I dont need every character to be a philosopher. People legit just wanna see the lines where they beg for more food or ask if the person theyre feeding wants more.

>>296377 pretty much, fetish artists getting too pretentious with their content is becoming a cancer on the community...

>>296377 No one's giving him excuses. Comics being hard to write doesn't negate belt's failings with the medium. It just shows he's prioritised the wrong aspects of the story (mystery and petty drama) over what people are actually here for (weight gain). What makes it extra depressing is that he was on the right track when he started the comic, yet somehow got lost up his own ass along the way.

>>296455 >Comics being hard to write Short comics aren't, long comics are. Belt choose to make a long spanning story driven comic, so he should have been able to deliver.

>>296498 Even for short comics it's deceptively tricky. Maintaining scope, impact and brevity. Saying what you need to say and stopping a short comic from bloating into a larger one.

>>296505 That's scope creep. And something that's completely avoidable if you plan a comic like you should. Which Belt doesn't.

>>296417 Theyre trying to be writers instead of porn artists... >>296455 >>296498 >>296505 Everyone who is subbing to his patreon is just dumb. They tell themselves the excuse that its too late to quit because they have already been paying for so long and if they quit now they will get fomo. Just unsub and save youreself some cash.

>>296505 that sound autistic and pedantic, nobody is asking for a revolutionary masterpiece. Just be competent with the wank material and keep the writing within entertaining levels, thats it.

>>287554 I think it’s officially time to give Belt the crown for the longest running weight loss comic of all time. No one has gained weight in a year or more and some like Anne Marie have actually shrank a good deal. Speaking of, how long has it been since best girl has been in the comic?

>>296585 No that title still belong to Log Myu. Say what you will about Belt, but he didn’t have a fat girl competition where you focused on poorly written speech bubbles from the spectators and not on the fat girls in said competition. This being well past 500 pages at that point by the way.

>>296417 The "cancer" of the community is idiots like you who have to have everything catered to specifically you, catered in a certain unknown way to the artist and you don't think there are other people in said community that are fine with not seeing girls gain 50000000000lbs per pannel of a comic, You then bitch incesantly each page that comes out like it matters or will change the direction of the artist when they are only engaging with their patrons on the site where the content is originally posted.

>296604 This is the funny thing about people who glaze artist. They will scream and make incomprehensible points all while trying to make you seem like you're the crazy, unreasonable one. You clearly typed this out in a fit of rage. Real good sign that the one person taking up for Salt is acting like a First Grader (or Twitter user) when their favorite character gets made fun of.

>>296609 You people are just confusing, you act like someone is forcing you to pay artists for stuff you dont like.

Its all so tiresome

>>296604 Youre a minority, and if it didn't pass through your head that some people from Patreon do also know about this place. Is always the same narrative with people that blindly defend this artists, people gather and start sharing their frustration with the content. "Oh your opinion doesn't matter, go subscribe and tell them directly, dont talk about that, you may make enough noice"

>>296656 Holy fuck this is ugly.

>>29665 Holy fuck this is good

>>296675 Holy fuck are you gay

>>296676 Holy fuck are you straight

>>296631 Are you actually deluded enough to think the crybabies on here isnt the vocal minority and that the people actually paying the artist are not happy with the content they are making? Take your meds

>>296706 then you shouldnt be afraid, why you care? It just doesnt add up.

>>296711 Afraid? What are you even talking about you scizoid

>>296604 >only engaging with their patrons If only that was true LMAO. Belt's asked for patron's input on his comics before and promptly ignored solid suggestions regarding how to improve the story and his work ethic. Guy is only interested in receiving yes-men compliments and approval. If you had actually ever participated in his patreon server you'd know this.

>>296764 Thats not really true no, belt has asked about advice multiple times and he only ignored advice that did not suit his vision, only listened to the ones who improved it. If you had been in the server, you would know he keeps asking about pictures he makes, if anyone had any input and such. He also changed the dialogue in a comic part since people did give feedback about it too.

>>295961 I haven't read this comic in about 5 months because I got bored. Why are they all still the same size? None of them have gained weight since the New Year arc

>>296769 >he only ignored advice that did not suit his vision, only listened to the ones who improved it. Yeah that's just toxic positivity. Most artists and writers need someone able to say NO to some of their ideas (because some are terrible,stupid or plain boring). So you just confirmed the fucker only listens to people stroking his fragile ego. To take criticism you OBVIOUSLY have to be open with people bringing up THE problems with your work, not shutting down anyone that doesn't feed your retarded narrative.

>>296769 He always asks for input, yet is rarely satisfied with any criticism with his work unless it has an in-depth explanation behind it. Compliments however? You can say 'ayyy looks nice' and he'll lap that shit up. If no criticism of his work is valid unless you can put an art degrees worth of knowledge behind it, I think its understandable why people rarely speak up - they haven't the time or energy to be challenging him constantly. And regarding the dialogue - people have had to fight tooth and nail to assert dialogue changes. It's never a simple case of 'oh this could be improved' followed by 'you're right, I will change that', it's always having to reinvent the wheel to explain to him why something doesn't make sense or looks bad. He's the writer. He's the artist. The people paying him shouldn't need to have constant input just to make sure he doesn't fuck something up.

I don't think you need to be a good writer to make porn comics. Porn comics. This stopped being a porn comic awhile ago. Not he's making his own SOL comic and it feels like reading the worst manga ever.

>>296785 >I don't think you need to be a good writer to make porn comics. Even the worst porno flicks involve some form of scriptwriting or storyboarding. My issue with the webtoon/infinite scroll format is that you can just vibe your way through that whole process. But then again, for some artists that's precisely the appeal.

>>296773 Are you stupid for real? Do you realize its impossible to pivot to please every single schizoid who cries about stuff? Complaining is not the same as giving critique. Most of the time the crybabies "critique" boil down to "waaaaaaah this isnt catered exactly to my personal tastes, all content should be tailor made for me". Artists are running a business, they will always work based on what the majority vote is and also their own personal wants. No reason to cater to the vocal minority who will always complain regardless.

>>296821 You don't need to take creative writing to do a scene of two people fucking. >>296849 That's cool. Good thing most people here explain their issues in detail.

Genuine question here, isn't there a thread specifically for people being shizos? And I am pointing at both who like and dislike the content.

>>296849 In same sense, is their business best interests to drag their comics so retards like you keep paying for as long as possible. This is just the result of putting someone that is clearly bad at writing on a pedestal, above any sort of negativity. >Do you realize its impossible to pivot to please every single schizoid who cries about stuff? That would be the case if it weren't for the fact that more over than not, these so called "schizoids" coenciede with the their nitpicks. Also "if" were this little insignificant minority, why come here, worried and with clear intention of stopping this kind of discourse?. >No reason to cater to the vocal minority who will always complain regardless. Unless they are a threat?

>>296614 Yup I'm genuinely wonder whats the endgoal in all of this, to bitch and moan until every single artist quits? Like some artists get deserved flack like Kip (and even then it might be excessive) but at some point just seems like as far as these people are concerned all artists should either make one off pieces or short stories where the characters turn into immobile blobs with like 5 pages. Theres really no winning.

>>296881 >Yup I'm genuinely wonder whats the endgoal in all of this, to bitch and moan until every single artist quits? Everyone who makes this point thinks everyone who has a criticism hates the artist. You have to actively ignore the people who make actively make good points. Some people make complaints here because they care and want to discuss the story.

>>296848 Here's the de-anthroed edit

>>296848 I do kind of like this page, surprisingly. Dogshit worldbuilding aside, its fun seeing someone have to eat their fatshaming words because they have someone they care about who is also on the heavier side.

>>296856 >You don't need to take creative writing to do a scene of two people fucking. I disagree, but the jannies deleted my original reply anyway; so, whatever.

>character i like >belt-buster draws it why does he have this ugly artstyle for the bigger girls? they look like fucking harry potter's mean aunt with the chins and tired eyes

>>297483 Eh, i dont see it. Think you are just used too the cartoony style too much.

>>297483 They look fine and pretty close to actual fat women most of the time. I think it's a matter of being too used to anime/cartoonish fats. I do wonder how many people here actually like realistic fats Vs. finding only drawings hot.

>>297483 there are literally worse out there Anastimaflia who can't draw anything other than 2 body types EBC who downgraded his artstyle by drawng fat dwarf characters

>>297483 >of no, a beautiful fat girl in harsh overhead lighting! >if I am forced to consider even the slightest skin blemish, I will puke

>>297499 These are fetish porn pinups, not a life art study. They're supposed to look nice.

>>297513 >’They’re supposed to look nice.’ And guess what? It does. It’s good looking art of a good looking fat women. Just because her face has basic detail to it doesn’t mean she’s not hot.

>>297513 I'm gonna keep it a buck. I don't think you actually like fat women. Not real ones, anyway.

>>297513 bro wants their face to stay the same at any weight. i know your a Kip fan

Nah I agree something about Belt's style is off putting, especially at larger sizes. Something about the shading, facial expressions, and body types (especially how hard the fat looks, like they're pure, hard, visceral fat. Some people are into that, but as someone that's actually been with ssbbws and loves it, Belt's large women simply aren't attractive to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>>297660 If you think the last image there looks like " hard visceral fats" your crazy, she looks like she could wobble from the slightest touch, BWS girls looks harder than that.

>>297660 >'pure, hard, visceral fat' Bro what are you even talking about. Her belly looks like jello. Just because she doesn't look like a sentient pile of dough doesn't mean she doesn't look soft. Belt does great larger ladies, and frankly needs to do them more often as his comics don't give regular opportunities for them. Just scrolling back through this thread shows some banger ssbbws he's drawn.
