Tamberlane

Thanks for your patience! Caytlin had to deal with some health issues and then a family emergency, so it took a little longer than we wanted to get this done. Caytlin: Man, I have been waiting for TEN YEARS to get to this reveal. Ari and I have been vibrating with excitement to get these pages out.

Welp.

Had a lot of fun with the atmosphere in this page! Also, thanks to DecoyDuck and Trinary for donating Cassie (jackalope) and Misha (fox) for cameos! EDIT: whoops forgot to add the balloon tails today @u@ I'll fix it up tomorrow.

EDIT: Welp!! Accidentally sent this to the lower tiers as well, so I guess, uh, consider this a celebration for getting back to the grind. What's this? A page? A really surprising kind of page? That upends the paradigm readers have assumed for (checks watch) ten years? Oh, boy! Tamberlane is a Sci-f

Cayt: It was a lot of fun — though difficult — to get the look we wanted out of these pages. I'm pretty proud of them. Ari: The writing of this scene (as well as the masterful art by Caytlin) was partially inspired by the stories children who were in extremely traumatic experiences tell when they gr

This was a difficult page to pull off, and it fell slightly short of how I envisioned it, but I think it still came out great.

I had a blast with this page. Trying to portray "something is wrong" with your eyes closed was an interesting challenge!

...

You've earned a bit of lore, as a treat. UwU Due to how this sequence was handled, all four pages are going up at once! Lucky you guys!

Cayt: I cannot tell you how hard Ari and I slaved over this sequence (and the ones to follow!) to make sure everything threaded together and hit the way we wanted to. Nothing is ever perfect, but we are VERY proud. Ari: Distant sound of dog laughing maniacally

Yeah, jeez, tell the truth, gosh

Foxglove Comics has a new website! This has been an ongoing project for the last year and I (Caytlin) personally put a ton of work and overtime into it, including lots of new little illustrations around the site. Go check it out!! Cayt: This sequence was a lot of fun for me. I referenced photos of d

Oh sorry did you think you were only getting ONE page today? Did you think Ari and I could keep this page to ourselves for ANOTHER MOMENT

BONK

BEHOLD. A STICK.

I heard some people calling for a fight!! ... Be careful what you wish for

(nice)

Cayt: This was a really difficult sequence to get right but I am very proud of how it came out. Trying to get across that Kira can be scary, showing the different kinds of emotional turmoil the two are dealing with, and trying to get across what Cur has been wrestling with internally while also star

Happy 150th page in the chapter y'all! And the punch to the gut! Edit: Growl on letter fixed.

Things are getting heated in this argument.

Huh... do you hear that? I think that's... ANOTHER PAGE DROPPING TODAY It might also be the sound of a one-shot kill straight to Cur's soul, I dunno.

Looks like Cur isn't going to get away cleanly.

Cayt: Thanks for all your patience while I chugged away at all these backgrounds! I'm really proud of how they came out, and really proud of these pages. Ari and I have been really working hard to get this and the next several sequences right. Hope you enjoy!! Ari: Sometimes I still dream about my c

Seems it's not a great day for anyone :(

And that wraps up this sequence, somewhat... bittersweetly.

Huh! What's that? It's almost like... ANOTHER PAGE?? Enjoy the itty bitty with the big ears, y'all!

A new environment! Did a lot of work on these backgrounds over the last month. Whew!

Cayt: Piper really does believe in Anthony... They're just up against some very crafty parents who are well aware of their shenanigans. Ari: The most tragic thing about this is we won't get to hear one of Jason's sea shanties. --- The next scene may take a little bit longer to come out as we are mak

Anthony is very clever and actually pretty good at diversions! ... He's just up against some veterans of shenaniganery.

For all her shitassery, Piper does love her little brother and thinks he's cool.

Cayt: Piper abounds with important knowledge! About a lot of important things! ... Probably! Ari: She acts incredulous, but I suspect Piper enjoys the fact that as her brother gets older he's able to keep up with her verbal spars and antics!

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

HE SHANTED ANOTHER CREATURE, ANTHONY (For ESL folks, "shant" is a real word; "shanted" isn't)

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

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!

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 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.

Farewell, Cur...

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

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.

Farewell, Cur... 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!

Oh no! Not a note!

Another page down! Cur's doin' his best.

Whew! This background was a lot of work but it paid off! I really like how it turned out. Enjoy your peek into the Carver residence!
