WIPs for Page 262/264

Normal pages will resume on Monday, the 27th as I am currently out of town! Meanwhile, here's a few WIPs/panel breakdowns.

The initial page thumbnails for PG 262-264

It's simple, but I just happen to really like how this panel came out!

Reminder, this is weird/crazy month for me and so, next new page will be out toward the end of the month. However, next week I have some WIPs to post!

Heads Up For March

Hey guys!

I wanted to give you a little heads up about March. The Ides, you gotta watch out for ‘em.

Other than that…

[TL;DR - Posting two pages in March, plus some WIPS, normal schedule resumes in April]

March is always a funny month for my schedule as I volunteer doing remote communication work for a dogsled race. In short, I get dropped off by bush plane into the Alaskan woods for a couple weeks and relay info such as when teams come ...

Since there's five Mondays this month, I'm going to take next week off from posting a page to catch up on a few things. Next page will be out Feb 6th!

I'm going to post a new/better wolf family tree in the next week or so, now that there's officially a new member. This whole scene with Seral, his motivations and depth of character, plus Swift gaining a sister (whom you guys named Tracker) are very clear and indelible marks you guys have had on the story.  I'm happy to be here with you, making this story become more than I had ever imagined it would be.

I had something written to post last month about the end of 2022 and my plans ...

Oren's Forge PG 255

I wonder how I would have written this scene if you guys had voted on a different name for Seral, hah.

PG 254 WIPs

Here's a quick look at the background from the first panel of page 254.

Something that's on my mind, particularly when I do backgrounds... If you're an artist or aspiring artist, one thing that I don't think gets talked about a lot is that there is ALWAYS a point in whatever you're working on where it looks objectively bad/just not what you had in your head.

Don't let ...

Singer WIPs

I have a full background WIP breakdown coming later this month but I liked this panel of Singer and thought I'd share, out of context (no spoilers, you've got to assume you were seeing this guy again someday). 

I love drawing him, particularly because he's a smarmy goober who uses a lot of hand gestures and has a very different emotional range than pretty much everyone else in the comic. Most of the other characters are always pressed or struggling with Big Emotions, and they are p...

Quick note: You may notice the file size is a little bit larger (from 700x1054 to ~800x1200px).
I'm going to be retroactively working through the previous posts and swap the pages with the slightly larger files, but it's the exact kind of tedium I will likely drag my feet on. I'll have it done before the end of the year, tho.

PG 248/249 WIPs

I don’t actually have a thumbnail for page 248— when a page has a lot of dialogue, I will usually structure the panel layout around the flow of the text. I layout out the text first, then fit in some initial margin sketches/gesture drawings around it, then go from there. It doesn’t really ‘show the work’ quite as well as a nice, cohesive thumbnail, but it gets the job done.

Here’s t...

Thumbnails + Page 247 Panel WIPs

Here are the thumbnail sketches for pages 245 - 247.

The thumbnails are the very ‘first’ art step, aside from a handful of messy margin sketches that are more gestures than anything, to help me ‘feel’ out a scene. (I have another WIP/thumbnail breakdown coming later this month where I’ll include some margin sketches.)

Here’s a quick breakdown of the last pan...
