20 - I Must Return to the Heavens

I think we're all connected by stories, by narratives. I think it's necessary for us to encapsulate our experiences within the contours of narratives, however elegant or inelegant, however individual and personal or collective. I feel an urgency to pen monsters and fairies, a visual vernacular that I can use as a vehicle to carry my stories.

19 - If You Wake The Child

Drawing the Winged Serpent of the Silver Wood always presents an interesting challenge, but I sort of love doing it.

18 - The Great Guardian

What's this? A new page?! After how many weeks??? I am so sorry for the wait. Yours truly just graduated with a BA.

17 - Quiet Your Weeping

Dear everybody,

I know it's been ages, but my last semester's been reeeaaaaaally rough, and I'm on my last academic leg and on home stretch! And that'll happen in like a month! Literally, just about a month.

I'm a little bit scared.

16 - Please Don't Die

Dear everybody - I'm so sorry it's been a while since my last page post! I just finished my midterms and am about to embark on an art-oriented excursion to Chicago today, so it'll be a six-hour train ride.

These panels were tricky this time. The hair is typically really easy for me because most of the time I can improvise it, and it's a relaxing, almost cathartic sort of experience for me. However, it was really important that the hair imply movement in a particular direction in this one, and that took a bit of fairly meticulous planning, and the ink pen was not cooperating with me for the most part. I hate using action lines for dramatic flair, so I'm trying to imply movement with pretty much everything else. Enjoy!

9 - The Morning is Wiser than the Evening

Oof! Sorry, it's been a while! While the comic is still very much in experimental growth stages, I didn't want to make changes too rapidly to the formal aspects of the pages. And, of course, as a result of my semester kicking back up, the pages will come out a little more slowly.

Thanks for sticking with me!
