I think I should be able to get this finished up tonight, 

Is finally coming together what its final form should look like.

I still need to make some adjustments to the scrolls text and I just noticed the windows line weight feels off. Might end up giving the whole thing a much bolder outline for the final version that would go to print.

not to late to get me feed back on issues you think need addressing. Don't worry if your skill level isn't what mine is, if something feels off speak your mind and help bring it to my attention to make it better. ^ _^

inks are pretty much done now and am adding the flats.

Will have to play around with the colors, If I make everything black it wont read very well on a shirt. 

Though my initial instinct is to keep everything with varying shades of charcoal, perhaps splashes of red.

Tell me what you think so far. I need to adjust the left wings shroud a tad balance feels off.

Lost a couple days of work due to being kidnapped over the weekend, and a bit more time trying to get my sleep schedule back to something not completely insane.

that left wing just doesn't want to cooperate right now. Will have to try flipping it over to see whats wrong.

I was contemplating putting in a design for the glass windows tho mebbe if the glass were broken would be more interesting / read better for a shirt design, will have to experiment.

Inks and Flats are complete!

Now for the colors! :D

Why did I design such a crazy chimney? XD

I need to put in all of the background for this piece since the Monstress' phantasmal form will be translucent. 

Its starting to come along though. 

Not sure about that left hand just yet though.

​How does it feel to you so far??

Finally Got these inks together!

With the floor I pulled back on the texture of the boards to ensure that the details didn't get too dense distracting from the main figure.

Unlike the boards Standard has been slammed into since she and the boards are closer to us.

Color wise I'll be setting up that there is a fire that started up when things got kicked off which will allow me to add some dramatic shadows. Will probably set it up so that her shadow is cast in the direction of that couch which should help to balance the shape the banner of standards is making.

Tell me what you think! I really want to know. If anything feels off or confusing tell me and I can get it adjusted more easily now than later. :p

Been a lot of work to get to this point but were finally almost there. ^  o^
​

Phewa I'm betting that people are getting pretty sick of seeing this pic at this point.  Y  oY

Decided that I needed to adjust Standard's banner on along the ground. Given its striking color I needed to make sure that its set up in such a way that it helps to strengthen the flow of the overall project. 

Also I again changed up Standards hair as I was reviewing some of the past iterations and came to the shocking realization that one of the earliest variants really did look best.  :\ 

On one hand it feels like I've wasted time, but on another its it will ultimately benetit the overwall quality of the work.

Two questions I've been asking myself repeatedly at this point is...
1) Does it angle of the piece make sense yet? I've heard from at least 1 person that it feels like she was jumping, and 2) that her breast stick out as weird. Maybe that's just personal taste though or its actually an issue and just no one else has brought it up yet.

So I wanted to ask you all, how do those elements feel to you thus far? Is there anything else thats not quite as strong as u think it could be? Even if you can't draw voicing what feels off could still help me a lot with zeroing in on the source of the problem. 

Thanks again, everyone for your continue support! You really don't know how huge a deal it is for me. I'll be researching the next round of adjustments for the website soon. I'm considering moving everything over to word press. It will be quite the ordeal but there's a much larger number of options that will be opened up such as tighter control over membership content. Likely though I would lose several degrees of ease of use that I'll have to figure out.

Made some new adjustments based on suggestions provided by the Amazing Were-World.
Stuff like showing more of her visible leg, adjusting her claw in the background, tilted the piece on its axis a bit. 

With this the main 2 figures are complete, hopefully I can get the background completed tonight. 
This piece has been quite the journey and I've learned a lot along the way and its going to be much stronger for the time put into the piece.

Were-World is seriously a great artist and very fast and well worth following and supporting and has helped me quite a bit with mentoring me on some of the pieces I've been working on. 

I cant wait to see this piece complete I'm really digging how its transformed so much along the way. XD

Phewa things have changed so much for this piece so many times. 

But it finally feels like its reaching its final form. 

A lot more background to have to ink now, I'll have to give another look at the perspective on that couch.

I really digging how its going, how about you??

If you really love what you see consider helping to support the project by becoming a patron via paypal. ^  o^

Hoboy. So after discussing matters with my brother and Wereworld I realized that a small change could get the perspective to feel much more dynamic, and that a much bigger change could really push for a bigger moment of anticipation.

Thus despite how disapointed I will be to have in a sense wasted my time over the last 3 days I'll bite the bullet and put in the work to vastly improve this piece. Really it wasn't a waste of time because I wouldn't have gotten to this much stronger design otherwise. Its all part of the process. ^ _^

I'll really only have to redo her arm and legs. I'll have to do more work with the background now though but it will be worth the effort. This feels like it will be so much more epic a piece now, I'm really excited!

I even realized there are some major ways I could improve some of the previously completed pieces that will really bring them all in line design wise and help to strengthen the core of these 2 characters struggle.

Tell me what you think about it all I really want to know, and please don't forget to consider perhaps leaving a donation or at least helping to spread the word! ^ _^

Mnrrrg wound up staying up all night working on this.

Didn't finish the inks but orphan is mostly finished now. Feels a lot more cohesive than before.

As is usual though it will make much more sense once the colors start getting layer in.

I still haven't quite worked out how standard will go from this moment to the one where she has Orphan in a head lock.

Perhaps a swift kick to a sensitive spot or she has to resort to stabbing her.

I'm playing witht he idea that when Orphan reverts that she has bruises or scars in all the places she was injured. 

Saying something like... "I hurt everywhere."  :c

I imagine days later wondering how she got these weird scars she didn't remember getting.

Tell me what you think so far, does anything stick out as particularly weird or bad with the anatomy? If so please tell me so I can get it fixed. ^  o^ Even just telling me that something feels weird will help me to figure out what i might be missing from working with it too closely.

Arms feel better now Though still lots of little details nagging at me just yet that will need looking into. :0

As a lot of her body is hidden by the perspective and I'm worried that the placement of her legs and such just isn't quite getting the perspective I'm after just yet. 

Ah well, will wait to see it again tomorrow with fresh eyes. ^ o^

Lotta improvements since this morning. Still though it feels like there are some fundemental errors I need to figure out.

Does anything in particular stand out to you??

Could really use some input to better zero in on the issues.

I suspect its the anatomy of the arms coupled with the extreme foreshortening thats just not sitting right with me yet.

​

Still a lot of push and pull to go with this one but its starting to feel more cohesive now. Both claws for Orphan will have to undergo some major adjustments to get the scale right.

Orphan is unique among those cursed with lycanthropy in that her full sized wolf form is many many times larger than what is typical of the Fang's soldiers. 

The problem is that being so small in statue and young still the massive increase in mass is incredibly painful causing her to blank out during transformations. Usually a cause of her body shutting down her human mind in order to protect itself through in newfound lupin instincts.

This makes discerning between friend and foe a near impossibility, but something that she will eventually overcome as she continues to grow into her body.

Can her newfound friends last long enough for her to find equilibrium with herself in that time is the question. 

Please don't forget to like share and subscribe as a patron! 

Lotta changes / refining to get the anatomy and body language to all match up properly. Started shrinking down Standards face but i think it might be too large now still compared to the rest of whats visible of her body.

Mnrrg accurate foreshortening and perspective can be such a pain sometimes. XD

Hrmm not sure which variation of this pic feels better just yet.

​I shrank down Orphan's body initially because I wanted to get more of her arms in there, but now I'm thinking it feels too small so I made a quick edit using the mid and large scale to see how it feels. I'm not sure which feels best just yet given how big she is in some of the other pics in the novella.

Thinking about it now I think trying to update a pencil sketch from half a year ago is restricting me too much.

I'm thinking I just need to start over from scratch and find a better dynamic pose for this particular piece.


This project has gone on for so long It feels like I've wildly improved from the earlier pieces in the set now. I'm sort of feeling like I really should just do something extreme like start over. I guess given the nature of a novella it wont be quite so big an issue if there are some inconsistencies in the character models or skill levels, but it just riles up my perfectionist nature really bad.  :\  

​What do you think??? Leave a comment and help me decide. 
Or is anyone reading these??  Y  oY

Commend below here if u do.  :c

Wound up having to take the night off due to how tired I've been, but then proceeded to spend the entire night adding the new novella page to my website. XD

I sadly can't show this one off in full till the Novella is ready to launch fully. But! For as little as $2 you can access all the illustrations early as a Copper Tier Patron! :D

I really like how it came out overall. I know it's not quite as exciting a piece as some of the pages that will be included in the book but it my hope is that it helps to emphasize the atmosphere and danger of their situation. 

Now I need to decide, do I put out another novella page? or get some more work on the Shewolf Comic? Cast your votes to help me decide! :D

And for sure tell me what you think overall. especially those of you who have had the chances to see the currently finished colored pages. I really need to set up some time to get back into the writing though.

This was originally supposed to just be a small side project but its grown into being what will debut the series. Its sort of like how some Anime do it, where you start in the middle of the series to see how things will be in the thick of it before going back to the origins of each character. 

Where I hope to entice you with how the characters interact with one another and the level of dangers they have to deal with on a daily basis. That way my hope is that once we go back to the origins of the various characters that you have a taste of whats to come. 

along the way there will be side stories like this shewolf payset and the Chayse family that I want to get into as a means of better gearing up for the big push.

I started roughing in some shadows last yesterday as I was winding down for the night and came to the realization that the placement of the leftmost knee is way off. I'll have to get that adjusted before moving forward. 

Since so much of this page is supposed to be in darkness I'm suspecting that the colors should be fairly quick to knock out.

The cast shadows however I can already tell are going to be quite the challenge to figure out, since her lantern will be the primary light source. 

-----------------
Story wise at some point she ends up dropping her lantern after a massive gust of wind forces her to hunker down to avoid being knocked off the stairs, its then that they realize the paranormal nature of this particular space when shortly after her lantern ends up cracking her upside the head when it lands on her from above. 

It's an encounter that would have more than likely had led to their deaths had they not been accompanied by an Necromancer Elite. 

At some point Standard starts to question why things have gotten so much harder to endure since they let Vampire Join up with them. 

------------------
Also of note is that this is one of the rare times that Standard isn't accompanied by her banner. She left it with Orphan due to it not being a practical weapon to use in right quarters. She isn't unarmed though. Her over sized plate bracers each hold 3 Dirks sheathed on the underside. 2 each of Silver, Steel, and pioneer era Ceramic. Each having varying levels of effectiveness against the myriad of monsters that inhabit their world. 

Just realized I never posted a clean ink set for the clothed and non clothed variants.
I even set it up so there can be just a topless (and or bottomless) variant.
Only the first of these final versions will be available to non patrons. 
​Which one do you like more??

Finally!

The main body inks are complete!

Now I just need to do up the torn clothing she'll be wearing for the SFW variant. 

Man I can't believe how long it took me to get that stupid arm to work.

Everything else came together so quickly.  =  o=

Really hate when stuff like that happens. 

As this is to be a gallery piece I couldn't let myself settle for such a glaring imperfection.

I wanted to try and experiment on some Pulp Novella type colors for this pick. Was leaning towards a sickly green potentially. But we'll see what feels right on the day of. XD

Hope you all like it as much as I do so far. 

I wish I could get stuff of this level knocked out in a single day. 

Please be sure to leave me feed back on what you like so far, where ever you'd like. Do you like it? hate it? Love it? have a recommendation? I really would like to hear from my fans more often. Don't be shy thinking your not skilled enough to lend a proper critique. Sometimes an amateur can more easily pick out an odd bit of anatomy than the person whose been staring at it too closely for too long. XD

Phewa much better progress tonight! 

Just gotta finish inking this background now. Oh and the background. X0

I might need to make some adjustments to these hands still though.
They still feel a tad off to me. 

What do you all think about them so far? Any recommendations on what feels off?

Man I need to find a better way to speed up this inking process. 

Should have finished 3 pages of inks by this point.  TT  oTT

Thanks again so much for all of your patron support! :D

Aurg THIS HAND!

Man yesterday I had one of those days were nothing I drew came out right, primarily concerning this one hand, spent over 12 hours trying to find a pose that works, and in my sleep deprived state I thought this looked okay but now with fresh eyes I'm just like...  "Aurrg!"

Hopefully today I can get it figured out. Did some tweaks to the shewolf's anatomy. I need to tweek her legs a bit still. The big werewolf's lower body feels off balance at this point, due mostly because of how fast I was having to move by the end of the night. 

Hrmm I'm wondering if shouldnt just make the big werewolf a female too. There isn't a lot of space to bring out the musculature the way I originally wanted and I the shape dynamic would better get the point across I think. not sure just yet, what do you think?

Was really hoping I would have been done with the inks by now.
once that hand is shorted out the rest will fall into place pretty quickly.
One thing I need to address a bit better is getting across the idea of short body fur on the lower extremities feels a bit sparse at the moment.

Feels like I took a step backwards yesterday over all. Maybe I've just deprived myself of sleep too much the last couple of days being so gung ho to finish the inks. :\
