Another fun tidbit!! Holt gets to experience violent (ego)death every time he transforms! Yay!!

Some of you may remember, but this is very similar to one of the first comics I made for Dust n' Dread before I really cemented What I wanted the comic to be about (the full comic should be still should be on the pinned post).

Holt wasn't even really a character yet here, but this was a concept I've been sitting on for quite awhile and wanted to iterate on it in the comic proper. I've said it before, but I really wanted the lycanthropy in this world to feel more like a living curse than just a disease, and is entirely apathetic to the person that is afflicted by it. An isolating experience that is hard to even articulate what it is like to anyone that doesn't have it themselves.

Also hope everyone appreciates Jo finally calling Holt by his actual name. The only time she'll ever do it is when he isn't around.

I am spit balling here but I find it really interesting how the werewolf doesn't have a mouth and is very skinny. It makes me think that part of the reason for it being the way it is (apathetic of what its curse-ee wants) is that it has a hunger/need it cannot satisfy without its host Edit: I FORGOT to mention i love jo. It's a sweet sentiment that feels genuine, I hope

I’ve been waiting for this so so much!!! I absolutely love your approach with Holt being a werewolf. Adding in ego death is so fucking good. The concept of how it’s a curse he tries mentally to fight against until the very last is just (chef kiss). I love him so so so much UGHHH

WOOOW, there's so much I love about these pages! You're depiction of the curse overtaking Holt is breathtaking; makes me all the more curious as to how he was cursed in the first place. 🤔 Btw did they leave Witchy Bitch in there with Holt? That miiiight come back to bite them in the ass...

The fact that Holt's screams are in a way that of him dying is insane and got me in a twist oof <3 What a way to really portray the terror, and I bet when he's transformed he's technically 'dead'. Really got me sitting here going 'Oh! A werewolf where the whole talk-no-jutsu method likely wouldn't work!' Really hits home that hopelessness and empathy for Holt, poor guy Also did not expect such niceness from Jo, a pleasant surprise lol almost as much as Clayton's disbelieving face is XD
