Predators of Denali - Page 64 [sketch]

Page 64! 


Sometimes I leave the text in the sketch page if I have to  more-or-less finalize it before drawing, which was the case here. I  wanted a gradual page-real-estate shift from Tala-Aurora over to  Bailey/Massak since they deserve some screen time, before implying  they're just going at it hard now, before cutting back to the wolves.

This  whole interaction has been really difficult to stage and panel out. I  had to plan/sketch out actually a few pages ahead before settling for  this one. I hope it reads and enjoyable because, on one hand, Aurora and  Tala need to have this conversation which outlines a few points, given  its her creation and she wants to tell Tala how to use it...but on the  other hand, talking heads is a little plain, and it would feel too soon  to just have Bailey sit on Massak earlier, only to cut away -twice-, so I  wanted to make sure they got a good finish!

Hope you all can enjoy some bear butt!
