Questions for Q & A?

Some of you showed interest in Q&A! You can leave your questions about the Golden Shrike universe here, and in the end of the month I'll post 10 or so replies depending on how much you wanna know.

Here's the earlier q&a in art form.

Head sculpts (upcoming!)

These are sculpts I made for some characters that will appear on 4th chapter. There's one doe as well, because I found it hard to draw her roman nose without a guide.

This four paged bonus comic is continuation from where the 3rd chapter ended. After it ends we'll return back to the main story!

Chapter 4: sneak peeks

This chapter was such a pain to work with! It's 39 pages long and we'll be meeting many major characters. And cameos! I hope you like them and can recognize yours when they come up.

What kind of content you'd like to see?

Now that chapter 3 is almost over, I'd like to know what kind of Patreon material is something you'd be interested in. I still aim to keep this very simple and doable because the comic itself is a lot of work, but I also want to offer you things you'd be interested in seeing.

Would you be interested in Patron-only Q&A? General musing about the characters or the project itself? Some other material? I've also been thinking of a small monthly raffle between the tiers, with a chance to ...

Kasko's design journey

Kasko might look like a deer with a simple design, but let me tell you he's the character that's given me the most trouble (at least till now). Here's his current design and a list of ideas I had for him.

The most profound characteristic I had for him was to make him melanistic. I love the look of melanistic whitetails but the hues were pretty hard to mimic in GS style. One thing with a comic like mine is that you want to keep the characters expressive. This means no dark around the mou...

Second to last page! The last one is pretty boring though. After that it's bonus comic time.

More of these! I dislike Dorus' rack a lot so I'm happy I don't have to see it so much anymore.

Head sculpts (Nero, Biro, Hovus)

Comic about deer is a cool idea until you realize you're gonna be drawing a lot of antlers from many perspectives. For every recurring antlered character I sculpt a simple head like this in order to spare my hand and nerves. I often trace over them if the perspective is tricky, and for more complex racks I won't even bother to freehand them. The  coloring is ugly and inaccurate, but it's mostly just for my own fun.

I'll be posting head sculpts for more characters later.

Bonus comic peek

I'm working on a 4 paged bonus comic that I'll post for Magpie tier when the current chapter ends! It's such a shame I never manage to carry the raw emotion of my sketches to the linework. I mean look at this.

Happy holidays to you! If you celebrate anything, I hope you do it safely and soundly. Myself I'm taking a week off from drawing, hopefully my limbs and fingers get enough rest because they've been hurting for months now.
