Fox relaxes on a couch, paws on a very pregnant belly and complains "isn't it about time you got out already?"

Panel 3 bear smiles and hands fox a receipt saying " here, you can carry this. It's extra heavy so be careful."

Another falshback friday, this week we're travelling to august 2019 when we had a mite infestation to deal with:
A sketchy digital drawing in colour of a girl eating a very large burrito, her mouth stretched wide open, muppet style. a cartoon figure with a large head in a cowboy pose looks suspiciously down on a bag of flour being carried away by a bunch of tiny mites. A cartoon drawing of a girl eating noodles from a big bowl nestled in her lap. a cartoon girl lies flat on the floor in a pose that suggests she is about to give up.

It's still a work in progress but I recently started colouring on chapter 2 of The Cave of Cats. You can see more by following along on my patreon! www.patreon.com/MildFox
A full comic page spread, half coloured with watercolours. It shows two panels, in the top, a man looks down at a corpse-like creature who lies on the floor of a hovel. In the second panel he carries the creature across a purple landscape filled with ghouls and strange happenings. A number of comic pages, half finished hang in a row over the artists desk.

No Fox Tales today but here's a little flashback friday to some sketches I did back in October 2019!
A digital black and white sketch of a bear sitting, looking at it's toes. A digital black and white sketch of a person kneeling in a formal bow, the kind a knight would make to their liege. A digital black and white sketch of a person praying on one knee, head to the sky and eyes closed. a black and white sketch of a person with a long single braid, sitting in midair reading a book (They appear to be floating)

Ok, time to get back on the horse, I may not be getting paid for it yet but I'll never get anything for it if I don't finish this comic.

Beard woes
A four panel comic. Bear and fox are doing some washing up. Bear says "lots of people have been asking me when I'm gonna cut my beard off lately. One of the guys even said he can't believe you let me grow it so long in the first place!" Fox responds saying "I mean, it's your beard but did you tell them I prefer it like this?" Bear says "yeah. They didn't believe me." They both sigh as Fox pats Bears shoulder .

Quite pleased with how this panel is coming along, went to see bog bodies in the museum and it's definitely helped a lot with pinning down how I wanted this guy to look. Feeling much less confident about getting this all done on time for DCAF though 😩
The top panel from a half inked comic passage shows a wrinkled corpse with a skull-like face clinging to someone's shoulder as it looks out at something beyond the panel.
