There's some other mid-comic scenes I would have liked to go through too, but unfortunately I didn't keep track of a lot of my mid-comic thumbnails. I do like this one though, and you can see all my weird doggy-Will and kitty-Bev doodles in the thumbs.
You can also see a problem I encountered here and there with my own thumbs on pages 4 and 5; I wanted to give the reveal of Will's wolf form a little more space, so I broke one page up into two, to slow the scene down. Once a scene is thumbnailed I usually don't mess with it a lot, but since I do the pages in large batches, sometimes I spend a lot of time away from the scene after thumbnailing, and I come back and notice something feels off.
One other minor maybe interesting thing; I don't know if you can tell on the last page, but the conversation he has with Beverly there was originally supposed to be with Brian Zeller. I decided to switch in Beverly because I felt like there were too many characters I was trying to squeeze in, and Bev already had a lot of time at the beginning and ending, so it felt more natural for her to have this conversation. My thinking originally was that Zeller would have seen Will working and it reinforces his accusations off panel in a later scene that Will was involved in the grootslang murder. But all that happened off panel and was only talked about, so it didn't really connect. Showing Bev more felt more consistent.
