SWIFT: “…You already had your chance to try and kill me.”

Happy New Year, everyone!

This year in comics, I want to be more bold with sound effects. I love big, boisterous sound effects in comics but I’ve always felt really timid about it when it comes to my own panels. I’m going take some more big swings and we’ll see how it goes!

So, I was planning on taking a week off at the end of the month, but I have been absolutely swamped. I’m not sure I can finish the next page in time, so I’m going to switch my schedule a little and take off next week. That’s not my ideal as far as story flow, but I think it’s the only way I’m going to catch up and get back on to my regular weekly updates.

So, next page will be on the 20th, and after that, every Monday!

Oh swifts expression doesn’t look that great, I’m hoping for a miracle here

treefiddy

Well she's no longer snarling, so that's a good start

TheGreatSako

"I'm not afraid of sharp sticks" has that "what're you gonna do, stab me?" energy

treefiddy

Rask: May i offer you a nice egg in this trying time?

Grawuar

I'm glad Egg is quiet, not adding to the discussion, despite knowing the predator's speech too.

Sarah

Take that leave Teagan! Always better to take the time you need than to burn out, power to you

Sarah

Also I love Swift’s surprised face 🤣

Furlop

Can definitely tell it's not Oren's first time with wolves. He seems to be the only one not shaken by her posturing.

LukeOnTheBrightSide

She knows that another wolf was killed like *an hour or two ago*, or at least what's what her kids said 20 paces from Seral's body. Swift's experience with this group has been a pit trap that wounded her, a marten saying some crazy shit, and in the last page, the first words exchanged were threatening to kill her. She hasn't exactly gotten anything positive to go on until what Rask is saying right now. Maybe she doesn't believe them entirely, but I think there's some element of situation/posturing that her response to "hello, we can and will kill you" was "not gonna happen, grrrr." The whole situation is also bonkers crazy to Swift. Remember that Rask saw something that kind of made sense - prey working together is new, but this is some sort of mega burrow. Swift is seeing predator and prey working together, which is complete insanity. Rask's nailed it though. She's too desperate to leave empty handed. Whether it's food or shelter, she's in dire straits.

LukeOnTheBrightSide

Just wanted to say, I love the sound effects! If it's a big important sound, it makes sense that it should be big, bold text! It gives context for readers about what and how something is happening, so I'm all for it.

Marcwolf

He is a carnivour.. Posturing and giving the signs of being less afraid is a very good survival trait.

Marcwolf

Ohh.. Eggs.. When was the last time I tasted those.

Marcwolf

She is puzzled. - remember this is totally new to her. Prey capable of fighting and killing a wolf. A Martin seemingly working with Prey. Plus she has her crippled mate and cubs to protect. If she dies then so do they.

Gale Tazzin

On the contrary, he looks shaken to me. but he's not shaken by the wolf, he's shaken by the fact that everyone is watching Rask take the lead instead of him

Torakhan

Do what is best for you! Well be here waiting for your healthy return! :)

treefiddy

Can we all stop an appreciate how much work this page must have taken to produce? There's 20 different faces, most of which are close up and displaying complex and intense emotions from multiple angles. That ain't easy to keep consistent and realistic. Especially while trying to organize and ship over 700 books, and needing to create 10 extra pieces for the custom art tier. There's a lot going on behind the scenes

Microgrampup

If Oren really didn’t want Rask try to talk to Swift he wouldn’t have let him. He does not care that Rask is in front of him, he just doesn’t trust Swift while she’s showing signs of aggression.

LukeOnTheBrightSide

I'm really curious to learn more about what Oren thinks about Rask's behavior. He didn't really get a chance to mull over Rask before Swift showed up, but sure looked unhappy. Is it anger that Rask didn't do as required? Disappointment? Good riddance? Maybe a little sting of being wrong about what Rask's presence meant, and how everyone could benefit from Rask. Some introspection about how "among all of us, it was the predator who didn't want to kill" brings up some potentially disturbing thoughts. I don't think Oren minds that Rask is taking the lead here - at least in that way, he's finally living up to the promise of being a first line of defense against larger predators. At the very least, it shows that Rask's problem is not cowardice, but conviction.

Uzuri

It took me until a readthrough of the physical books to realize why Oren's being so hardnosed here when he wasn't with Rask -- wolves tore his mother apart and he couldn't do anything about it. I bet Hemlock wouldn't have saved cougar kits if Swift's family had been cats instead of wolves, either, no matter how young or cute they might have been...

Teagan Gavet

Ah, my bad! I forget to put 326 into the Vol 3 collection. Should be fixed now!

Microgrampup

Have to also take into account the fact that they lost a huge part of their population due to them disagreeing with Rask’s presence. So I think it being a sting of being wrong about how Rask could benefit the Hollow is a pretty good guess.

Microgrampup

Especially when those kits are the offspring of the exact same cougars that tortured her kits. I’ve been wondering if Oren can even catch Gristle’s scent on Swift.
