What’s this?! A SUNDAY update???

As mentioned last week, I’ve been struggling with a little bit of a writer’s block on this chapter. Team that up with my usual laziness and then you have a very late update on a Sunday.

I (mostly) know what I want to do with this chapter, but I’ve been having a hard time making the dialogue and sequence of events flow smoothly. And sadly for me, this chapter is only just about to get more complicated >.< I found looking at this page beside the last page was kinda amusing. The third panel almost exactly mimics the 3+4 panel from last page (probably a little too much...). I always tend to put off background/setting panels till the very end of inking since they take a good bit of time and small linework (and partly because I'm lazy). While that is what happened to the last three panels on this page, I was fairly proud of how they came out, especially the first one. Also totally realizing now that I should have made the window more noticeable on the second to last panel. I wanted it to kinda blend in, but probably not that much... ^^; OH! Almost forgot! I can't believe I haven't talked about the word "kyote" that I've been using on the last few pages. Drake refers to coyotes as "kyotes" and I chose that spelling to help emphasize how he pronounces it. If the normal pronunciation for coyote was "ky-o-tea", this version would sound like "ky-oat" (which is a pronunciation I was pretty familiar with hearing while growing up in Montana). My idea is that kyote is supposed to be seen as more derogatory towards them and is often used when speaking poorly of that group. I don't envision it necessarily as harsh as several of our real-world racial slurs, but it's not exactly kind and inviting either. JUMP to page Page 151
