Finished inks on the bottom of the current page. Dee’s not so happy with the H word, but she was pretty ambivalent about the whole pregnancy thing to begin with.

Top half inked, bottom half somewhat pencilled. I know I used it in the title, but anyone who who thinks blue/orange morality actually is a thing should go and read Empire Star until they’re fully plexed.

I’m not sure it works across the chapter break, but the panel of Sam is similar in composition to his inset on the howl splash. Aside from that? They weren’t MARRIED married, but having a kid is the important thing, lycanthropologically speaking.

Nonsensically weird and ominous? This is just a spontaneously genuine moment of lycanthropic familial care, where a werewolf grandmother gives her werewolf granddaughter some timely advice about werewolf pregnancy.

Just a couple of silent panels to give the stuff some room to breath. Well, and the little outro icon of a full moon, but that’s nothing to worry about in a werewolf story.

Faye will always choose honesty over sympathy, it’s just how she is. Also, apparently she’s a bit of a Pawn Stars fan.

On the one hand, I don’t want to be too flip about Faye’s history of abuse. On the other, I want the reader to be aware of what her solution to that whole deals was, and her narration thereof back in Land of Dreamy Dreams.

Sometimes you draw a hand fine in the pencils, but end up doing something a thumb doesn’t do in the inks; thank god for white out, right? Anyhow here are Fay and Lily, both certain that it was good for no one last night, as they say their farewells.

Completed inks on the last two panels of page 8. Hungry? No. Existentially sulky in response to the avalanche of events around her when she ain’t got no snowboard? I’m just the author, but that seems like a pretty strong maybe.

Yesterday’s pencils inked, and the bottom two panels roughed out in blues and purples. You know things have gone pear shaped when a pregnant woman claims she’s not hungry.

Work continues on the top 2/3 of the current page. ‘Just until Covid blows over’ was the original plan, but Lily’s coming to terms with Covid (and, y’know, maybe a few other things) being a permanent condition we’ll all just have to live with in perpetuity.

As evidenced by her use of terms like ‘pump the breaks’ Faye is super great at comforting people. That’s all right though, because Lily is super DUPER great at being comforted.
