Queer Fantasy and Weird Tales for the People
This was going to be just one of six or seven panels, but I decided it needed some room. Enjoy a weird landscape as we start this new chapter.

LAST PAGE OF THIS CHAPTER!
This page had seven panels in my outline, and I decided to pare them down–partly to make less work for me, and partly to make the page less busy and have more room for text. There’s actually text on this page!
Bonus art next Tuesday, and then we’ll start the new chapter on Friday.
Warnings for blood, a severed head, and what I would describe as setting-appropriate passive suicidal ideation. Things will improve in the next chapter, I promise.
You’ll find the page below:

Listen, we need the man to be miserable so that it will have more weight when things get better.
This four-panel page was a nice gift from my past self to my present self. I have a bunch of pages with seven or so panels coming up.
This is the penultimate page of this chapter. The last one will be up on Friday. On a related note, I’ve now noted the chapters in the Table of Contents on the Stories tab above (under the Menu if you’re on mobile).
Warnings for blood, general misery, and a severed head.

If the thumbnail doesn’t give it away, this page is gruesome. Approach at your own discretion.
Two more pages in this chapter! By this time next week, I will be done torturing Ichiro (for now. Both my husband and a reader have recently pointed out that I put my protagonists through the wringer).
The full page is 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):

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.

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:
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 34”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:
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:
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 32”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:
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 31”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:
