Paradigm Shift on Kickstarter
Shaenon: Dirk Tiede’s werewolf cop drama Paradigm Shift is one of my longtime favorite webcomics, and not just because Dirk is one of the nicest guys in the world and also draws awesome fan art of my comics.
Now he’s putting out a nice two-volume omnibus edition that you can back on Kickstarter. If that sounds like a good idea, and it does, check it out here.
And thank you, Dirk, for the excellent Tip/Were-Kate art!
Channing: Longtime readers may recognize Dirk’s work in the canonical art style of Leo and H.T.’s webcomic. There’s a reason we sought him out to show that AsLAN had really upped its game; Dirk’s grasp of the craft and attention to detail are both phenomenal. As a bonus, Dirk is not a murdery tiger with an axe to grind against humanity.
I mean … you’d tell us if you were, right, Dirk?
Would Tip’s previous werewolf experience serve to inoculate him against lycanthropy in general? And how long would Kate be able to resist his appeal?
P.S. – the artwork is exquisite!
What a crossover story that would make!
Well, this was a relief. When I saw the thumbnail picture (I use a program call Speed Dial, puts 18 or so snapshots of websites I go to often on the desktop) I thought this was going to be something about that poor little girl in Fullmetal Alchemist, and I’d end up crying on my keyboard again.
Anthro dewclaws!
The link to Leo and H.T.’s web comic led me to reread (or read for the first time, it seems I’d missed some) from there to where Unity returns from Idaho. Sweetheart asks “You bring me back one of those potato-shaped candy bars?”
Someone posted in the comments that she was talking about the Mountain Bar. Wrong! I know this was a long time ago, but this terrible error must be corrected, or it could endanger the very fabric of reality! A Mountain Bar is shaped like a mountain, for pity’s sake, and it’s not made in Idaho – it’s made by Brown & Haley in Tacoma!
The potato-shaped candy bar from Idaho is the Idaho Spud, made by the Idaho Candy Company https://www.idahospud.com/
It’s made in the same Boise factory they’ve been in since 1909. They also make a lot of other old-fashioned candy, including their wonderful Owyhee Butter Toffee.
Thank you!
Well, I don’t think that dress suits Tip at all. He hasn’t got the cleavage to carry it off.
Just means he needs to work more on his pecs.
Also looks like the material is a little thin. If the light were right we’d see everything.
I based it off this little number here:

But I didn’t use any other refs. *shrug*
Yup. It’s a little darker there—difference in sketching material.
Yeah, I’d fill it all in black if I inked it.
That’s good, cuz we don’t need to see Tip’s junk through the dress.
I was worried Tip might do a Sharon Stone in that outfit, though it is a bit long for it.
Totally not a murder-y tiger bent on revenge. Nope. Not even a little bit. 😉
Well, couldn’t you be, just a little?
Paradigm Shift is still going?!
That was my response as well. I’m glad to see that it is.
Yes, I finished out the second storyline (Part Four: Flight). That’s what the Kickstarter is all about. Planning a third, though I can’t tell you when to expect a new installment. I’ll have to write the script for that yet.
Please feel free to go catch up. Lots of werewolf action in Part Four. =)
