Tamberlane

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

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!

Yeah, jeez, tell the truth, gosh

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)

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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!

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 o

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 f Whew!

He's not fretting! What would make you think he's fretting??? He's not fretting! What would make you think he's fretting??? I had a lot of fun with filling out the construction of the Carver household here, putting fancy woodcarving touches in.
