Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 15

I am delighted to inform you that I am exactly one page ahead. I’ll be working on increasing that lead over the next couple of weeks.

Things are about to get Bad for our protagonist, so have some looming disaster below the cut:

Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 14

I finished a page, and it’s still regular business hours!

I’m going to be trying to build up a backlog over the next couple of weeks. That will mean a) I’ll get this thing done in a somewhat more reasonable time frame and b) I can stick to the posting schedule with fewer interruptions.

You will find this page below the cut:

Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 9

As usual, I’m the proverbial day late and dollar short, but here it is! This concludes the first chapter. We’ll do bonus art next Tuesday, and the next page (starting the next chapter) should be out next Friday.

Now I’m off to make pie.

Comic Update

Pencil sketch of a tall man with large ears and long hair seated behind a desk. He is dressed in a kimono, his arm and shoulder out on the right side, and sarashi bandages around his midsection. He holds a stack of papers in one hand and an ink brush with the other, holding the brush up to his face pensively. A stack of books sits at his elbow. An oil lamp in the shape of sort of a squat goblet sits in the foreground.

I still have to get my drawing tablet set up, so enjoy this pencil drawing. His name is Tomoya Daichi and he is pretty important and importantly pretty.

Also, we have a new title: Last Watch Before Dawn. It better reflects the secret demon-hunting organization at the story’s heart, and avoids some heavy, real-world cultural connotations that will distract (or at least will distract me) from the fictional setting.

I’ll be working on getting the tablet set up this week, which means that actual comic pages are not far off. Stay tuned!
