Feral Page 54: Run, run, run, run run, run, run with the wolf (Patreon)

Fun times! The original double update was the best in Aggie's run on the comic, and I wanted to do it justice in the redrawn version. Unfortunately, the weekend I was due to draw it, I got very sick with a flu the after-effects of which are still with me two months later. I had to scale down my ambitions: instead of redrawing the page from scratch and then going on to do the next one (the second half of the double update), I decided to rearrange Aggie's panels in SketchBook Pro, flip them where needed, and trace the result. Only one panel was drawn freshly from scratch, because I thought I could do a better job with that one. Oh, and I drew only one page that weekend, hoping that by the next weekend I'd feel well enough to get caught up (I wasn't, and the next weekend, I did another single, traced page).

The tracing was, in a way, very educational: it showed me exactly where Aggie 'cheated'* by leaving out details or scribbling things in. My line work shoots for precision and definition a lot more, which resulted in an interesting hybrid and some really weird wolf anatomy in places…

Here's Aggie's original version. It's a double, so I won't be posting a "Here's the original" tomorrow:
