Here's a breakdown of my progress on the werewolf reveal from the current latest page of Paranatural! Had a ton of fun with this. I used a textured pen tool for the inking to give it a less slick, more furry look and to contrast it with Spender, who I inked normally. For the final stage of coloring I messed around with some difference and multiply layers to get that sickly moonlight look. I don't normally use difference layers but it worked this time! As usual a lot of what I do is just mess around with Clip Studio tools I don't understand and see what happens.

For the design itself I wanted you to see the recessions where its skin hugs tight to gaps in its bone structure. Obviously it's huge and scary and muscular but in my head the strength it has (and may show soon) is supernatural, not a logical extension of being big and buff. So having it look a little starved and misshapen/birdlike is part of evoking that.

Proud of anyone who didn't make a Sans Undertale joke, which was everyone. I noticed the one glowing blue eye when I was coloring and thought "all my efforts will elicit will be several Megalovania references" which luckily wasn't the case.

This is more than I thought I'd write about one drawing, haha. Thanks for your support!

The idea of it looking a little misshapen and thin instead of overly buff is a really cool concept

I have to say, this comic was *particularly* effective--after the more typical style of the previous text-and-picture pages, having this one shade down to the last image was genuinely *alarming*. fantastic job building the menace!

My stomach sank when I scrolled down to this. You nailed this page(directly onto my hippocampus)!

One thing I've always loved about your art is the colors-- I love how you captured the subtle glow of the yellowish moon coming off the fur, the kinda glowy part around the eye, and the softer shadows of Spender and Isabel here. Light is one of those Real World things that fascinate me, and it's always so cool to see how other artists tackle it!
