WHEW MADE IT. It has been a bit rough behind the scenes over here at Casa de Vilbrandt so I appreciate your patience as I'm a bit slow to get pages back up to speed. 💚 Enjoy Page 445! (Wow, we're so close to 450 pages .... wha)
You can see some of the background details I put into this room (part of why it took a while for pages to get made again -- complicated backgro...

Have a lil behind the scenes treat!
I mentioned in stream while I was working on page 443 that my style of drawing canine ears has evolved a lot over time, and right now I am having to wait to update the style in Tamberlane to match until after the chapter is over (to make the most sense for consistency lol). Here's an overview of how the style has evolved!
Gotta have a big shout-o...

I had a lot of fun with filling out the construction of the Carver household here, putting fancy woodcarving touches in.

As I mentioned recently, we've joined the Patreon Creator Ambassador Program, which means we get to beta test new features! Yay!!
The first new feature I have access to that you guys can play with if you so desire is Community Gifting. While we already had access to being able to gift a membership...

Tamberlane over there like, mm, yeah, I thought that was a lie and I was right.
Currently hard at work on the groundwork for the next scene. I finished thumbnailing all the pages today and got a lot done on the flats reference image. Next page will be out as soon as I'm able -- I know buffer's low right now but it'll pick up soon!

Hello all! I figured I'd give a little update on where things are standing right now!
Folks with full buffer access have probably noticed there have not been any new pages for a couple of weeks. This is a combo of a couple of things:
A family emergency for which I had to travel and was away for a week (everyone is ok)
Getting sick once I ...

It's easy for creatures to forget that Tamberlane isn't as adept as they are at the same age.

Both Ari Noble (co-writer for Tamberlane) and IzzySqueakzy (one of our flatters, historically) desperately need our help. They have lost a large portion of their income and are unable to afford rent and utilities. As a student Visa holder, Izzy is unable to do any paid work until she receives permission from the government. Worst case scenario, this may take 8 ...

Whew! Here's some supplementary things for this scene!
The first image was me workshopping the right expression and pose to give Penny. They're arranged in order of attempts.
The things that made the final sketch stand out for me were:
Penny is angled opposite of Tamberlane and more in the foreground, which contrasts their reactions nicely
She looks ho...

Ari and I have been SO looking forward to this reveal for SO FREAKING LONG. Poor kid.

This was the first page I worked on after my 2 month break from work. I think reading a bunch of comics upped some of my skills in the meantime!

This page was surprisingly hard to layout. That first panel was a real doozy, and you wouldn't have expected that! I'm not entirely happy with the end result, but that's fine -- better that it's done and I can move on and take lessons going forward.
It was important to show the wheelchair Stoker is wheeling in, but due to the layout requirements of the other panels, it couldn't be a verti...

Why hello there, Stoker! Nice to see you!
Fun fact, Terra is making willow bark tea. Willow bark has salicylic acid, which was the precursor to aspirin. It acts as an anti-inflammatory (although it has more side effects and is less potent than aspirin)!

Here's what you need to know about the Patreon changes:
We reduced the number of tiers down to 3 regular tiers and 1 high donor tier. This is to make things less complicated on the backend, and als...

Sometimes it's hard to remember that Tamberlane doesn't have the same motor skills as other creatures. They're not used to 4 year olds not being equivalent to 7 years old in motor development. Poor Tam.
