The center two panels of the current page. If you’re ever in the presence of a woman who’s stressed out, you should totally tell her to calm down because she over reacting, it’ll go great.

Two more panels, continuing from yesterday. Lily is at the low volume freak out stage of her grieving process, but don’t worry, she’ll get to the point of practical application before too long.

Just one small panel, because the distractions did their distracting. I have no idea what you’re talking about, Lily is coping quite well, and certainly not transferring her confusion into misplaced aggression.

First time they considered the themes? Wait until they read RIngworld!
I'm losing my mind over how many reviewers are like "GDT's Frankenstein makes you wonder who the real monster is." THAT'S THE STORY! That's the story Shelley wrote!

Just the panel borders with some lettering and a few rough pencils on the insets. This one of those pages that reads completely differently on a page vs a screen, but that’s okay because the howl leads your eye through the whole page wherever you start.

Faye’s place in the social order felt important, so I reworked the top three panels to handle it. Yet another example where white media will fill out the completed art.

The bottom of the current page, but only one new panel. I finally got to Lily, Faye and the ‘Ganderma arranged as Maiden, Mother and Crone, left to right. Yes, Dee’s been shuffled out of the triad, and don’t think that won’t be a sore point later on.

Maybe’s it’s a tryptic, maybe Faye and the ‘Ganderma are an angel and a devil at Lily’s shoulders, both urging her to the same action. I haven’t showed her grieving before, but no one should be surprised that Lily is a yell-instead-of-cry type of girl.

The top third of the current page. I don’t know how obvious it is reading it day by day, but Faye’s is using Sam’s not-quite Yoda sentence structure during this page. For reasons of drama, that’s why.
