Also a bear, it's been like 9 years since i drew a bear (Tokota days) cx
Next update is full comic again (bc there's like 1 speech bubble) then there's 2 more written, beyond that is TBA bc my buffer rn is small (which is probably part of the reason im anxious) QvQ
I'm putting the rest of my comment under the cut tbh bc it's sorta comic-related vent and i don't wanna bum people out c'x
Kindred of the Mammoth is on Comicfury as well!
I've honestly been suuuuper anxious about posting this update bc of the half-comic style i tried out, and bc i don't know how well i wrote this scene. I kinda like that more written media lets me give some internal Lilac thoughts, and I can hint at things he knows and wouldn't say aloud. Also this scene,,, would have killed me as a comic, idk how i'd get the emotions across c':
On the other hand im anxious. idk if people will hate it or if people will think my depiction of Burnet suffering is ok (even though it's based on my own experiences with going borderline/entirely non-verbal when faced with questions i desperately need to answer but just can't.)
and then i say "pav why do u care when u are making Kindred for yourself?" and "people (including you) absolutely adore Pinepaw and the Forgotten World" and "fam you are so gd slow even with this style?" but such is life ig
Im trying to find a happy medium bc rn i literally get home from work, draw Kindred for 7 days and that's my week off gone, back to 7x 12hr days then home to rinse and repeat.
Just wanted to say that I do like the format used for moon 9. It reminds me of Pinepaw and the Forgotten World and it's also really interesting being able to see more into Lilac's thoughts; bro has some intriguing ones too. I'm guessing Burnet isn't the only who feels responsible for the attack. Also the bear at the end has similar vibes to the one from Balto and I love it! Is it a cave bear?
It was absolutely inspired by Pinepaw and the Forgotten World! It's such a good story and I absolutely recommend it to anyone who hasn't read it yet eve
Oh man I totally forgot this guy. Such a kickass design with the solid black and two toned highlights!
The bear in Moon 9 is a short-faced bear, Arctodus simus. It will be easier to see the short-faced part next moon when we get a profile view c:
