The many WORK STAGES of another recent(-ish) comic page! (Patreon)

Pardon me as I frantically fling up posts while I still have power!

Following up on a post from late December, here are the B&W Work Stages for "Hyena Anxiety," an 8-page backup story I wrote and drew for an upcoming (March 2023) issue of DC's Harley Quinn. (Keep this stuff to yourselves, pls, as I'm more than a tad dubious about posting licensed work here.)

I'm running waaaay late this morning, so I've no time for detailed commentary; luckily, the Work Stages pretty much speak for themselves. 

One thing I can say is that the relative ease of doing that 7-page Wolverine/ Man-Thing story last summer suckered me into thinking that I could just breeze my way through conventionally penciling and inking another shortie on full-sized original pages. This turned out to emphatically not be the case, as this gig turned out to be nightmarishly frustrating and time-consuming. I doubt I will ever again attempt drawing a comic via this old format, which I quite sensibly abandoned way back in the year 2000 after gritting and grinding my way through the miniseries Dirty Pair: Run from the Future.

NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: No idea when this post will end up being scheduled, but something should be going up in the next M/W/F slot, okay?
