Piper has a very educational lesson for you all.

Cayt: And so we return to our goofy goobers. We haven't seen them enough this chapter!
Ari: This scene was such a blast to write as a way to bridge the tone of the early chapters and newer ones, especially seeing how Piper and Anthony's "discussions" have evolved as they've gotten older. Anthony is standing up for himself more! Good for him! Also, it's ni...

HE SHANTED ANOTHER CREATURE, ANTHONY

I recently watched a video with a fantastic exercise I wanted to try: you look at reference photos and then try to capture the values with ONLY stark black and white. This helps your brain get better at communicating shapes and light, and, well, I'm always game to learn more tricks for that!

Page 454 is COMPLETE! This is our first test run of the scene release system now, so let's see how many hiccups I run into!
Either way it's been fun to have Piper be a lil shit, as usual.

Whoops! Forgot to post this here! I put it up on the Discord and promptly fell over last week lol.
Piper has Feelings.

TL;DR: Update schedule for Tamberlane is changing. Hop to the "Scenely Updates" section if you want to skip the "I wanted to write a deeply personal essay for funsies" section.

If your life were a movie, what would the audience be screaming at the screen for you to do right now?
I am pretty sure my audience has been screaming at m...

Unfortunately, the Live stopped unexpectedly, so this doesn't cover everything for the rest of the page.
2025-09-28 15:43:13 +0000 UTC View PostRecorded Live Video: Working on page 453!
Did a little bit of work on the next Tam page today and tried out the Patreon Live feature! I like it a lot, very simple. I'll probably do these more often as I come off of break.

Really sorry about the page removal, folks. Wasn't meant to go out yet! Need some time to recover. I hope you're all doing well. Stay safe!

Judging by this page, you can see where Piper gets it. The real question is where does Anthony get it?
Thank you to Rizer Stake (Rosalyn), Naomi 'Note Worthy' Slover (Isaiah), and my hubs (Jason) for your cameos!
Fox Sketches from Reference (& Quick Update)
I have been dealing with a pretty significant (and obnoxious) crash in energy and a pain flare, as well as poor sleep, for probably the last month or so. I'm still exploring why but as a result, my work has been pretty slow, so thanks for your patience while I chip away at Tamberlane things.
This week, I'm completely abstaining from work in an effort to fully rest and recover, so the Apr...

Hey, Anthony takes after his dad sometimes too!
Alright this should start bringing the Cuppa Tea folks up to speed with the released pages. I'm still figuring out the process for this so forgive any bumps in the road!

I suspect that it must be very touching when your kid uses techniques you taught him to help you calm down. Very fulfilling!
PS. Happy 450th page of Tamberlane! I can't believe it's come this far. :D
Page 451: Dialogue Evolution
Like most pages, Page 451 went through a lot of evolution in the dialogue. I thought it might be nice to show some of that process!
Before we set down the specific wording, Ari and I discuss the goals for the page and what we want to make sure to hit. For this page our goals were:
Show differing opinions on Cori's parenting style
Show Jonas's parents joining i...

Cur's Search Parties: Flats References
Here's the references I made for myself for all the characters and outfits in the last couple of scenes. These help me keep everything fairly consistent. My one regret was that I didn't do a Coriander without her jacket on. Kept forgetting what her markings are like! Note to self: stop taking shortcuts lol
You can see that originally I was going to have the towel be monogrammed to be Cur'...

Page 451 is finally done!! Whew!! This one was a bit of a beast to finish, due to all the characters on the page. Especially since I had to make the flats reference first too! I'll post that up momentarily as well.

Sometimes, it's easier to write what we feel than it is to say it.

Timelapse: Winter Path Painting
When I was working on the Treehollow back-path painting for the latest early early page, I remembered to turn on the timelapse feature! (This background is going to be used again in the future, or else I would have probably faked it more lol)
If you're curious how I paint backgrounds like this, check it out~

I can only imagine what it's like to try to mother a ""problem"" child like Cur, and how to help your young family understand the difficulties therein. No one is perfect, but everyone is trying their best. Sometimes love is the most important piece.

FINALLY the backgrounds are done for this page. I've been painting those two panels for two weeks!

Have a nice, grounding moment between mother and child. I looked around for some good techniques for introducing kids to box breathing (breathe in 4 seconds, hold 4 seconds, breathe out 4 seconds, hold 4 seconds) and this was what I found. I really like it!
