Hunters Page 182 (+WIP Images!)
Added 2023-02-01 15:00:11 +0000 UTCI will definitely be taking as much time in February to catch up on art projects, especially Hunters pages to ensure patrons are getting plenty of early access to new content!
He's finally here! I have officially introduced a new character into the story! Now I know I said that for the last page, and potentially even the one before that. But this time there is confirmation of the new character's name and some full-bodied drawings of his design thrown in the page. (plus, Nysha literally tells Laruk to "...meet Bakudo")
I first drew Bakudo for one of the Hunters headshot pieces, and labeled him as the Storyteller. I won't spoil much, but he is one of the oldest wolves in the pack and has a knack for knowing and telling a variety of stories, using his unique abilities to do so. And if it wasn't super apparent just yet, Bakudo is quite friendly and gentle ... unlike the wolf in the bottom right panel.
I had been meaning to finalize the design of the new character in the bottom right for some time, and I gotta be honest, I hadn't solidly designed her fully quite yet before this page. But what I came up with in my head is pretty accurate compared to what I drew, so that I am really happy with.
And, there are also some subtle hints as to how Bakudo connects with other members of the pack ... so that's fun!
