I didn't finish shading any of this, but I figured it would be better to upload it now than to wait til I spend all day tomorrow trying to catch up with where it's supposed to be by this point. Busy weekend!

I have to add so many speed lines to these on Monday so that it's more obvious that they're running very fast while casually having a conversation lol. I didn't want to draw them sprinting the whole time because this isn't really a sprinting conversation idk

Tuesday's page is technically early, but I hate to upload them separately! My wrist/elbow are improving, though it would work better if I didn't have snow to shovel this week :P. I'm looking forward to making comics again next week, though!

I'm glad to report that my wrist feels much better, which is why these pages are almost done! I need to figure out how to not make comics that take forever lolllll

Werewolves in high def for a full moon, what's better than that? (Also let me know if these uploaded right for everyone. They're kind of blurry in the back end, but I think they'll be fine when you download them.)

The process of making speed look good

Okay, so I take a lot of inspiration from manga techniques when it comes to making fight scenes, but the hard part is adapting all that into color. Manga is black and white and you have the benefit of not having to work around big blocks of color and the visibility of the colors you're using when in motion, so I had to adapt a little.

Picture 1: I planned out the speed lines in the pencil drawings and put them over my finished inked drawings for reference

Picture 2: I adapted an...

Just so you can see how much stuff I had to do to these pages today! And I still need to take them into Photoshop to finish the final touches. I'm going to upload my progress for the speed lines in the first few panels (which need finishing in Photoshop, which has better blur controls) as a normal post for general Patrons.

I have shading and a ton of speed lines to add to these pages tomorrow, so I'll probably upload another in progress version, because I also want to use it as a little tutorial on adding speed lines.

This isn't going to be as shippy as it may appear! I feel like I'm going to disappoint you all lol

Almost done! I have a lot of stuff left to finish these pages up. So many motion blur layers need to be added, but that's a tomorrow problem :P

Oh, I'm going to have to do so much work to get the lighting to pop on these, but it'll be worth it in the end, I know lol

Okay, I've got so much work to do when I tweak these for the final pages, but you get the idea. I'm leaning on the moonlight doing a lot for the narrative here, hopefully, because I didn't want too many words.

One day early! A late Christmas present lol. It took me awhile to get the lighting right for tomorrow's page, but I think it works for what I wanted.

Merry Christmas!

I'm heading out in the morning, so I don't have time to finish this properly, but I wanted to offer up something cute for the holidays. Thank you everyone for all your support of my little comic and I hope you all have a relaxing week!

I really like how these pages turned out, and hopefully they break up some of the "wandering in the forest" aspect of this scene
