Only a half (4/9ths, actually) a page of pencils, but I finally shoveled the driveway (2 ruts through the snow with only the last 10 feet by the street shoveled, actually).

I managed one panel but lettering took up most of my time, so I’m not even bothering to post the thumbnails. All I can hope is slow and steady actually does win the race. 🐢

Okay, so it IS ghoulish to venerate the tanned skins of the dead, but y’know, they’re werewolves. Might as well ask them to go monotheist instead of ditheist. Also, these are unique and dramatic circumstances, it’s not like they tan it for that purpose.

Completed pencils on the current page. I’d hoped to get some inks down, but between the snow and current events, I spent as much time staring out the window wallowing in existential disappointment as I did drawing.

I managed to get yesterday’s roughs inked, but any sense of accomplishment has been obliterated by current events. We aren’t going to be able to explain this to future generations.

Getting the one panel of Lily doing the stitching in close up felt important, but I also managed the upper tier of blues, and that’s okay because the the continuing snowmageddon prep will give me plenty of time for drawing tomorrow, too.

Completed inks on the bottom tier of the page. Lily might take pleasure in the pain she has wrought, but she’s not *mean* mean. (Okay, I’ll level with you, she’s so mean she needs more than than that. She’s infinity times mean.)

The bottom of the current page, in various states of completion. Our culture is so inured to violence that I felt I had focus on the collateral damage/blast radius of Lily’s vengeance.

The top 2/3 of the current page, with yesterday’s roughs pencilled and inked, and two panels roughed. Much like bart Simpson watching Mrs Crabapple cry her eyes out in a restaurant, Lily can’t help but feel partly responsible.

A little less than a half page roughed out, but only one panel inked. It felt important to get Lily’s noncommittal but committed by circumstance reaction inked, but I may redo her facial expression for reasons of ambivalence. (Hers, not mine.)

Just yesterday’s unfinished with the line work completed for today. The stink lines and flies might be a bit much, but sometimes the comic book vocabulary has to speak for itself, even in tragedy.

Completed pencils and some inks on the current page. Marking the territory of her vanquished enemy, slain in retribution? I can see why you’d think that, but Lily just has to pee a lot because she’s pregnant.

Completed pen work on yesterday’s inks and roughs on the rest of the current page. I would have liked to get at least to the graphite stage, but I was modifying my thumbnails on the fly, and that shit it takes as long as it takes.
