Only 3 pages left to the recap!!!! Hell yeah!
The inking on this page is a little rough. The Who's Who has been a nice way to get back into drawing all the characters again, but I can't help but feel a bit like my inking just isn't as smooth as it used to be. That being said, I feel my expression game got really strong! I think my art is just changing, but it's a tough thing to process.
This page contains one of my favorite characters to draw (and to have on screen) THE SPIRIT (or the ghost)! She's definitely more of a mechanism than a person, since she's basically all the tumultuous emotions archives inside Emma's page pile brain, but she is so fun and menacing. I love all her scenes.
The spirit
That time she gave Emma the sword. https://www.namesakecomic.com/comic/an-exchange-of-lives
That time she decided to fight One (she lost) https://www.namesakecomic.com/comic/bring-it-on
After she lost she decided to drag Emma back into her brain. https://www.namesakecomic.com/comic/youre-done

Hey everyone! Last year, we polled folks online and on Patreon on what our next plush Kickstarter will be, and y'all picked cute plush wolves! While we are not ready to do that Kickstarter yet, we decided to do a limited run of the wolves! If this initial sale does well, we hope to produce more. Please check these cute wolves out. They are square and soft and love long walks in the woods, cozy bedrooms, and cuddling with Mothmen and Cheshire Cats.
