Raw scans of today’s WIP.
Pencils and spot blacks (there’s so much ink on the page I might as well call them spot whites) complete with some line work done. Anyhow, I made to Sunday but it really has been one of those weeks. Caleb sleep now.

I’ve gone so far afield from the thumbnails that there’s there’s no point in posting them. I got less than a quarter page inked, but you can get the point of the story even from the blues here, so happy Valentine’s, I guess?

Just the finished inks on yesterday’s pencils and the outro icon of the fly-ridden, waterlogged corpus formerly known as Edwin Lennox. What can I tell you, it’s of thematic import.

Everyone’s into the cozy mysteries these days, but the sad truth is, French Toast as Mom’s comfort food doesn’t help when your boyfriend ghosts you after you’ve stumbled onto a decomposing corpse. As was rapped back when, parents just don’t understand.

Despite electrical misadventures,I did manage to get some lettering done and draw the dancing message app dots going still with no message received, and I drew it by hand, so take that, robot overlords-slash-Al-slash-electricity.

Stories where the cop figures it out and makes his own silver bullets to hunt down the werewolf feel a bit obvious at this point, so I’m going with one where he demonstrates himself to be more oblivious and less relevant to the story than a greek chorus.

Yesterday’s pencils, fully inked. I don’t think vomiting requires a content warning, but I’m sure the interwebz at large will gladly educate me on the issue.

Just one panel inked, and a left hand stack, I’ll never work in this town again! This one goes out to all the nameless characters who discover the murder victims at the beginnings of cop shows and are never seen again.

Just a redraw of the *last* last panel of Lily today, but the car has been taken in for repair/inspection, so there’s that. Lily is not, in fact, going to die by lead, but having her use ‘I’ll’ rather than the more conditional ‘I’d’ was the better choice.

The final two panels of the current page, but I’ve messed up the positioning enough that I’m going to redraw the *final* final panel. Yes, the last panel was the first panel I drew on the page, I don’t see what’s so complicated.

I’d love to talk about art stuff, but I spent most of today thinking about Sanka and Brim, and how we’ve replaced this fine dining restaurant’s coffee with Folger’s Crystals. I don’t know why, I’ve drawn the percolator in the kitchen countless times.

I had Lily >mutter< at the allegations rather than >scoff< because the allegations are true. That’s all right though, because ‘Ganderma is there to offer Lily’s alibi before Lily does herself, which I believe is called The Old Switcheroo in legal parlance.

Got the line work on yesterday’s stuff done, but most of my day was spent actually shoveling the driveway, for real this time. Plus my new scanner arrived, so hooray, but do not order from office depot/office max, their tracking is *ABYSMAL*.

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.
