Derek Concepts for Part Four

As the new part comes, I decided to sketch his outfit for this new day. I decided to focus more on Derek's mental exertion from the previous days taking a toll on him. Making him feel more tired and careless about his state, in contrast to the vest outfit on the right. I also decided to focus more on body language rather than focusing only on the face.

And this concludes the whole of Edward's plan. But we still don't know what kind of folk is that coffeehouse designed for.

Some pages change drastically from concept to sketch. Those curls will take a while to get done, though...

When I had to add this new cannon character, I decided it'd be a female and a species close to Derek's. Then, I had to choose between tigress and lioness, for whatever reason, I chose the lioness. As for heir hair and clothing, I decided to go for a modern look. Then I went for a curly hair (which I almost regretted, because it's very time consuming to do), and that.. cloth-thingy on her head. From the sketches, you can see I also had plans to make her hair only curly, without the cloth-thingy...

Part 4 - Page 07

Tried some new lighting effects. More specifically sun shafts and dust. The real state salesperson in this would be Patron 2dogsandaDJ, who's making a guest appearance.

Preview of page 07 for the fourth part. Featuring Patron 2dogsandadj as a cameo as a real state broker.

Part 4 - Page 06

EDIT: Here it should have been "WEDNESDAY MORNING", but I've wrote Thursday. We finally learn more about Edward's plans. But what kind of business could he be planning to begin?

Characters vs. Human

This is creepy, I know, but once I've began, I couldn't stop. XD I think most of them looks like accurate human versions, but Edward has such an evil face. Maybe his face is too thin? Either way, hope you all enjoy. :P

Part 4 - Page 05

And, the new page. Sepia flashback inside the flashback!

Part 4 - Page 04

Wow, apparently, I totally forgot to post this page last week. I really wonder what the hell is going on with me. @__@ In any way, sorry for the delay. :1

Part 4 - Page 05 preview

Preview on the 5th page. This is mostly a flashback explaining more of Edward's and Mike's actions. Except for the second, they're all scenes that have been present in preview issues. Can you recognize all of them?

Wallpaper 01 Sketch

So, we've reached the 150$ milestone (horay!), and that means... Golden Week wallpaper for everyone! But first, I'd like some feedback about it. What do you guys think about it? Looks alright-ish?

Part 4 - Page 03

Edward executes his multi-part plan. One of these parts is asking the blue-eyed toucan to move with him, they've been together for a couple of years now, what could go wrong?

Part 4 - Page 03 sketch

Edward and the blue-eyed toucan, they did break up, remember? Let's see how it happened tomorrow. >3

Part 4 - Page 02

The first part of Edward's plan is a-go. Mike and Derek got to know each other and planned to meet later on. But what else Edward has in mind?

Part 4 - Page 02 preview

Remember page 13 of Part 2? This is what was happening to Mike before Derek called. And we learn a bit more of Edward's plans. And Mike's face on last frame looks like a bunny...

Part 4 - Page 01

Though a couple days late, here is the new page for the newest part of the Golden Week comic. Unlike last Part, I decided to give it another go at drawing backgrounds myself, although that doubled the time I was spending working on the pages, but hopefully, that'll be for the best. Hope you guys enjoy more of Mike in this small flashback that shows what Edward's plan was all along.

Part 4 - Page 01 sketch

The same picture again, but this time, I've changed a few things, it's looking better, I think. Now to finish the rest and hopefully post it until Sunday.

Small delay and PDFs

Hey everyone! Remember when I said the comic would be back on the 16th? Yeah, about that... Apparently in these two weeks I spent planning and not drawing one bit at all, has certainly taken it's toll on me. As you can see bellow, Mike's face looks different in each panel it's in. I want to fix that and make the comic look better overall, but that'll involve re-sketching and all, so I may delay the first page a day or two, which is sad. :< But no worries! I'll be posting it no later than Mo...

Part 4 - Cover

Oh dear, it's almost time to go back there! This was meant to be posted yesterday, but it ended up getting delayed because I redrew the whole thing. But I like it better now. And although these 2 week of break were quite relaxing, they felt horribly empty without the comic, you guys have no idea of how much I wanted to get back to it. So, here we go, part four of the Golden Week!

Part 4 cover sketch

It's almost the 16th, it's high time I came back with sketches and all that. Here is a sketch for the cover. I still find it somewhat weird, but I can't really point out what it is... And yeah, that's Scott and Matthew holding paws. :3

It's great to have completed one more part of the comic. Two years and more than a hundred pages later, it's becoming something big and noteworthy, all thanks to everyone out there. Thank you for being a fan, a reader, a supporter and a friend of the comic, the characters and everything that this comic represents. Thank you! :)

Part 3 - Page 40

And suddenly, Mike is sided with Derek instead of Edward. And this is the last page for the third part of the Golden Week comic. It'll resume in three weeks for the Fourth Part.

Part 3 - Page 39

Don't you hate it when your best friend who you invited to be roommates decides to move in with you without telling you first?

Part 3 - Page 38

Whatever Edward and Maria where talking about, it probably was more pleasant than what Derek and Mike where arguing about. Two more pages to go! Merry Christmas, everyone! =D

Edward and Maria

This page took a while longer to get done. Not placing the blame on anyone, but that hair sure was hard to do. Anyway, this is the last sneak peek of the year for tomorrow's page (38th) out of the 40 pages that'll be done for this part of the comic. With the last page being released (coincidentally) on the 31st. Then, I'll take a two week break to plan and prepare (and celebrate a bit) the 4th part of the Golden Week comic. Thank you all for your never ending support, and for those who are go...

Part 3 - Page 37

Don't you love that moment when you get home and get a cliffhanger?

Part 3 - Page 36

More night scenes and more Mike!

Part 3 - Page 35

Oh noes! Night time scenes! Is too dark? Not dark enough? What do you guys think?

Part 3 - Page 34

Having a chance of heart, Mike?
