Page 218: Up, Up and Away!

The getaway that got away! For the moment…

I’m calling that thing a Rotorbug. Steering is questionable.

Fun Facts:

Iris, being a somewhat botched, demi-turned vampire, lacks most of the cooler vampire abilities, much to her annoyance. So, no flying or turning into a bat! Sorry, Iris! (Not that she doesn’t try, when she thinks nobody’s looking.)

Cadaver has been persistently haunting Carnage since death, despite Carnage’s best efforts to get rid of him. Carnage is resigned to having a ghost around as a useful tool, for now.

And hey! For this page, I found a rare un-inked pencil version kicking around! I don’t have many of those from Chapter One, because I inked over most of the pencils without scanning them (whoops!) If you want to take a peek at that, plus the thumbnailing mess that went into this page, hop over to the Wayward Queen Patreon!

Next I’ll dig up the sketches for that rotorbug and post the design process on my Patreon (first I need to FIND those sketches, ahaha… They’re in ONE of these piles! Or scattered across several piles. Probably.)

Are we SURE it’s not time to panic? That getaway ride seems a bit questionable…

Want a peek at the process behind this page? You can see all the thumbnail planning mess on Patreon here!

Vitalia gets the award for Understatement of the Year…

But now is not the time to sit and chat! Now is the time to RUN LIKE HECK! Or take a chance on being tossed into a waterfall by a wayward gizmo! Or…?? Tune in next week to see if our valiant band of doofuses survives!

Want to see the thought process behind this page? It went through a bit of wrangling thanks to the discovery of a gaping plot-hole halfway through the thumbnail process! Process, thumbnails, and other extra goodies are available to patrons! Check out the Patreon here, if you’re curious!

WE ARE BACK!! HALLELUJAH! And we have enough buffer pages for a couple of months! We hope to provide some measure of ridiculous entertainment for the benefit of everyone shut inside during this pandemic… We return to once-a-week updates! Still deciding whether updates will be Tuesday or Thursday… I’m thinking Tuesday, so check back next Tuesday!

Of course we start right off with D R A M A A A A~! Enjoy the angst! 🙂

Curious about the process behind the comic? Guess what! You can now find process on my shiny new Wayward Queen Patreon! As we head into Chapter 2, there will be a lot more behind-the-scenes goodness (Chapter 2 is when I’ve started scanning all the steps. In the meantime, I’m digging up any old thumbnails and roughs I can find.)
