Early Page 445
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 background!) and I'm really happy with it.(Also I'm so glad I made t...

Whew! There was a lot of background painting that had to happen to get this page out, but now the scene should be able to proceed smoothly fWhew! There was a lot of background painting that had to happen to get this page out, but now the scene should be able to proceed smoothly from here for a few pages.This is one of those pages that I don't super love how it came out. There were too many moving parts that didn't quite line up. For examp...

Ears
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-out to the Full Fry-up tier for sponsoring all of the art study ...

Who's that knocking on the window??(Also yeah, I totally miscounted, it should be only 2 claws, I'll do the edits later haha)

Beta Test Opportunity: Community Gifting!
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 to the Tamberlane Patreon to another person, Community Gifting allows you to essentially donate a membership and I get to choose who to give it to.Y...

Welp. Penny has learned a lesson in kindness.

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!
Mid-May Status Update! (See us at TCAF!)
Hello all! I figured I'd give a little update on where things are standing right now!Comic UpdatesFolks 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 got backAnd more pressingly, Ari and I have been busily workshopping and writing the next sceneW...

It's easy for creatures to forget that Tamberlane isn't as adept as they are at the same age.
Fundraising for Co-Writer Ari - Auction is Live!
Wait, what's up with Ari?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 months. Until then, they are reliant on support from other...
Behind the Scenes for Page 439
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 nicelyShe looks horrified, but also concerned as she realizes Jonas's stateShe's looking down at the...

Something something, when will you see that your actions have consequences???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 vertical panel, which would have been best.

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)!

IMPORTANT! The Patreon Has Changed!
Hey guys! We did it! The Patreon is squished! But we did more than just squish the tiers — we did some important and helpful housekeeping at the same time!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 also to reduce choice paralysis for new patrons.We reduced the promised offerings to the bare min...

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.
