WIPs PG 315 + PG 318 (and wow, the KickStarter!) (Patreon)

First, just wanted to say thank you guys for your support on the KickStarter! It's fully funded now and within striking range of the Oren and the One-Eyed Wolf stretch goal, so that's pretty amazing. I couldn't have done it without you guys! I know a number of you were first on board and thank you for that dedication-- it really helps a project gain traction.Now, I can't wait to get to work on the layout and the extra interior art (new title page, etc.) My secret nerd hobby is that I love working in InDesign (or any publishing software, tbh,) but I rarely have the chance.

(Also, Q/A Answer Post is coming up imminently-- had a couple last minute questions come up!)

Here's another panel WIP from page 315. I think I'll end up reworking Egg's face for the print version-- I feel like something got lost in translation when I inked it. I was crunched for time when I was working on this page though, and I didn't have the freedom then to spend more time then.

One of the major lessons I took away from (animation) college was to work evenly on a given project, so if a director or superior wanted to see something on the spot, you could show them a glimpse of the complete idea, rather than say, 'here's a hyper detailed spot in an otherwise empty void.' I think this mentality has been really helpful for me making comics on a reoccurring deadline-- by Monday, I can have a complete page to show you, even if there are small things I think may need a little more work. I can always come back to those if time/my desire warrants it. I think you can also see that same mentality in how I create panels-- stage by stage, so it's always in some kind of 'complete' state.

Here's a WIP from the last panel of Volume Two, PG 318.

For a while, I wasn't 100% sure if I wanted to end it with 'Oh, shit.' I had that in as placeholder text, but every time I'd read through the scene and got there, it made me laugh. I felt like it was a more honest response than Oren spouting something more polished. In one word, it simply sums up everything going on in his head.
