The many WORK STAGES of a recent(-ish) comic page!
🕑 Added 2022-12-28 15:09:47 +0000 UTCBehold, dear Patrons, a sneak peek at the Work Stages for "Hyena Anxiety," an 8-page backup story I wrote and drew for an upcoming (March 2023) issue of DC's Harley Quinn. (Keep this stuff to yourselves, pls, as I'm more than a tad dubious about posting licensed work here.)
I'm running waaaay late this morning, so I've no time for detailed commentary; luckily, the Work Stages pretty much speak for themselves.
One thing I can say is that the relative ease of doing that 7-page Wolverine/ Man-Thing story last summer suckered me into thinking that I could just breeze my way through conventionally penciling and inking another shortie on full-sized original pages. This turned out to emphatically not be the case, as this gig turned out to be nightmarishly frustrating and time-consuming. I doubt I will ever again attempt drawing a comic via this old format, which I quite sensibly abandoned way back in the year 2000 after gritting and grinding my way through the miniseries Dirty Pair: Run from the Future.
NEXT TIME ON THIS HERE PATREON: Ehh, the Exclusive Monthly Bonus Post for the Biggest Spenders of the $10 and $20 tiers will probably go up tomorrow, featuring the conclusion of a fantasy RPG-based, "flirty" damsel-in-distress story from the early 2000s that includes images such as this:
...and a recently drawn illo revisiting the story:
Posting this Bonus dealie on Thursday will leave the next day open for a rare return of the Failed-Project Friday feature, this time focusing on a doomed pitch I dubbed Empowered Girlβwhich, a decade later, makes an appearance (of sorts) in June 2023's Empowered vol.12. Golly!

This is already a fun setup for a short story. Can't wait to see how things play out.

Is it not the goal of every artist to hear, "You give good hyena"?
Matt Penn
This might be the most specific compliment I've ever given, but you draw a real nice hyena.
