Queer Fantasy and Weird Tales for the People
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:
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 29”I wouldn’t say I’m getting better at formatting text in Photoshop, but I am getting faster.
I did a panel with a detailed shot of the clan jito’s face on this page, and I’m considering leaving him in shadow when I do edits and redraws? Ichiro would definitely experience him mostly as a shadowy figure; this isn’t a close, affectionate family. Let me know what you think.
For the page I’m working on right now, a couple ahead of this one, I need to get one panel done per baby nap for the rest of the week. Wish me luck!

Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 27”I have had so many crashes today, which is partially why this post is going out so late. I remain just two pages ahead of you.
This page is a little less miserable than the last two, but things are still pretty depressing below. I promise eventually it will get better.
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 25”I had about a month’s reprieve between sleep regressions, and I am regretting not appreciating that time while I had it. Baby is happy and healthy, though, and crawling like a pro! She’s going to be walking so soon, and I’m not ready for it.
Unfortunately, “happy and healthy” does not describe the situation in the page below, so viewer discretion is advised.
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 24”Past Me, being very dumb and kind of a jerk, decided that a top-down view would be the best way to establish the scene and the two characters in relation to one another. The version of me who had to draw this was very upset. I am comfortably two pages ahead of you right now, down from three, and I think this particular panel was why.
Anyway, we’re moving along in this chapter, which is the third of five. This one is earning us the “dark” in “dark fantasy,” so be aware of just a miserable situation including obvious addiction in the page below.
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 23”I’ve been having fewer crashes! Did I get a Windows update that actually made things better?
Here begins the third chapter (of five) of the first volume. Fair warning: last chapter was dark, this one is significantly worse. It’ll start looking up a bit after this.
You will find this page below the cut:
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 22”Here ends the second chapter of the first volume! Bonus art on Friday, and then the next chapter starts next week.
Things continue to be on fire, so be aware.
You can find this page below:
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 21”Since last I reported in, I haven’t had any more catastrophic crashes (just normal ones, where Windows has to shut down). I’ve also had a Windows update, so maybe things will continue to improve?
This is the penultimate page of this chapter! I’m already working on the next one.
As a warning, things continue to be on fire.

I managed to restore the version of the file from yesterday, so not all was lost, but I did lose a couple hours of work.
I’m learning so many fun ways that Photoshop can fail!
Today’s page is below the cut, where things continue to be on fire (literally, instead of metaphorically like my computer):
Continue reading “Last Watch Before Dawn: Volume 1, Page 19”I’m still two pages ahead, and I’m hoping to get a third done this weekend.
After this, there are three more pages in this “chapter,” and then we’ll meet another protagonist!
Warning for more fire. The page is below the cut:
