Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 37

Thumbnail of Panel 1, described below.

Silhouettes are so dramatic and so much fun. They also save me a ton of time.

Also, did I not put Page 36 where it was supposed to be? I was just going to update the links and it didn’t have an image. You know you’re allowed to tell me if I screw up, right? I promise I won’t be mad.

I researched what blood loss does to a person, and among other things, it’s (obviously) very dehydrating. So that’s what’s going on here. We have three more pages of this chapter, so bear with me.

The full page is below (I definitely checked this time):

Thumbnail of Panel 5, described below

I’m prepping ramen today (the softboiled eggs need to marinate overnight), so here’s this page really quick. It’s got some blood in it, and is largely depressing, but nothing too bad.

Also I forGOT HIS QUIVER AGAIN LAST PAGE, ARGH

The page is below the cut to save your RAM:

Thumbnail of Panel 3, described below

I ended up taking a panel out, so this page was only six panels.

I’m not super happy with the rendering of the fire. It was too dark without the yellow, but looks a little too technicolor with it. Maybe I should have just stuck with regular orange and yellow?

Fire, dead things, and an unhappy protagonist below. This chapter will continue for five more pages, and then things will be less unhappy.

Thumbnail of Panel 4, described below

Important safety lesson: leave the object of a puncture wound inside the wound until you can get to a surgeon. The object is holding all your blood in.

Eight panels in one page is far too many, but past me (who planned out this page) is a scoundrel and a villain. I cross-hatched as fast as I could.

As expected, there’s some blood in this one. You can find the whole thing below the cut:

Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 33

This is a thumbnail from Panel 1, described below.

I’m trying out some new brushes. I think I like them better?

As you can probably tell from the thumbnail above, there is blood and violence on this page. We’ve got a few more pages of suffering before things can start looking up.

The full page is below the cut:

Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 32

I would definitely prefer to have a backlog of pages, just to prevent service interruptions for you, but the one nice thing is that once I finish next Tuesday/Friday’s page, I’m done and can relax for a bit.

The mailer service I use for the newsletter appears to be back up, so I will get working on that soon.

I’m trying a new thing where I put the thumbnail I make for Instagram here before the cut:

A bloody snowbank with footprints and broken arrows.

In the meantime, here’s this next page. It’s got blood and violence, much more than the previous page, so be aware as you click below:

Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 31

I probably should have drawn all the men in detail in Panel 3, but I honestly did not have the time. The shadows look more menacing, anyway.

There is blood and violence on this page, just so you know. You can find it below:

Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 30

Thirty pages!!! I’m about a third of the way done with this draft!

Also, I filed my taxes today. I am a paragon of executive function.

To save your RAM, the image is below the cut:

Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 29

Well, I’ve had so many crashes today that I haven’t finished Friday’s page, and have thus officially lost my lead. So it goes.

You’ll notice that Ichiro is carrying more stuff on this page. I forgot about his quiver before. This is what the first draft is for!

You’ll find the image below the cut:

Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 28

Not too many crashes since I last reported in!

Our friend Ichiro is still having a bad time below. I can promise it will get better, but not for a while.
