Comic finished! (Link to full comic below)

The new comic, which retained the working title “In the house of you”, is in full on the website, on the following link. (I didn’t want to clutter your email with this extra long strip of images):

What’s next? During the next week, I’ll be sharing a special dossier post with references and extras from this comic. (A paid tiers exclusive Patreon post). Many thanks, once again, for the feedback during the making of this longer than usual tale, and for your kind support, which makes these stories possible. I hope you like it!

Eve’s health deteriorates, as Samuel ponders about his friend’s whereabouts.

***

Things I need to be consistent with, in a revision:

– The table, the window panels, also there was a rug down there before.

-Samuel’s glasses. Optic glasses are things you’d think would be easier to draw. Other deceitfully tricky things? Water glasses, bottles. Hats!

I enjoyed drawing the random faces in this part: the moving guy, the reading fellow, the doctor.

Back to comic updates, after some busy days with end-of-year related tasks.

In Spanish, blackbird is “Mirlo”. (At least in Chile). In the original script, which this time I wrote in Spanish, the part where Samuel says it’s simple to draw them because you don’t use a lot of color comes off a little different with a non-descriptive, unique name like Mirlo. (“Right, they’re black”). I think those lines still serve the purpose, but in a slightly different way. It may go through some revision, in the end.

In the next installment, we’ll find out what’s behind this house move, and how it’ll affect poor Samuel Fludd.

Once again, this is a comic that’s hard to follow in portions, so I included a small bit from the first for context. 

So, what do we have here? A blossoming romance among the house-people workers, perhaps? We’ll see… 

The last pending Fairy creatures are out there in secret woods, including one in a new environment: a bog, and a custom character: a vulpine faun.

Next update will be about comic progress, but for now, I’ll also take this chance to give Earthquake Critic tier supporters($10) a reminder of the drawing they can ask once a month; a quick portrait or a rendition of a favorite character could make for a lovely surprise gift for someone, perhaps. All drawings are delivered by mail in an easily printable letter size PDF file. (Please note that drawings will actually be around half-letter in size, but they are laid out this way for printing convenience)

If you are in the Earthquake Critic tier (or edit your pledge in order to get this reward), address drawing petitions to juan@thesecretknots.com. I’ll aim to have them all done by December 20, if you get in touch before Dec. 8.

Thanks!
