Oh hey, I made an early comic. I-I mean, OwO notices your muzzle

Tammy: Oh sorry, did you say something Hibi? W-what? Why y'all staring at me like that? Haha what, is something on my-
Tammy: -nose..?
Trying out a smaller/thinner brush size – from 30 down to 10. Not looking too bad if I do say so myself! It looks more graceful and anime-like, since those typically have thinner lines. I like thicker lines since it has more “personality” if that makes sense to you guys, but I’m aware that I haven’t really drawn things with thinner lineart because I got used to Flash so I wanted to try thinner lines.
And still trying to figure out how to draw muzzles, wolf heads, and furries/werewolves in general, so excuse me if Tammy looks like crap for a bit (sorry Tammy!).

Tammy: W-what in the-
Tammy: AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Hibi-Hibi: Oh dear.
Keith: So we really are cursed, but Tammy turned into a werewolf.
Cruz: Furry.
Tammy: Shutuuuuup..!!
Aren’t female werewolves supposed to be called wifwolves? “wer” means “man” while “wif” means “woman” in Old English, thus werewolf is man-wolf. Saying “wifwolf” does sound silly though, or maybe it’s because I’m not just used to it.

[Hibi explains what happened so far...]
Tammy: Why am I the only one who was turned into a fur- A WEREWOLF?! Why not a mermaid instead?
Keith: Oh I dunno, it's not too bad!
Cruz: Who's a goooood girl?
Tammy: GRR!!
Hibi-Hibi: I know someone who can help... probably! But we should check your camera first. Here, take it.
Hibi-Hibi: Seeing the photos of the moon might break the two boys' curses.
Tammy: Okay. Let's see...
Their Swimsuit Edition pics are in there somewhere.
What’s behind that hand? $3 patrons can find out!

Tammy: AH!
Tammy: Haha..! M-must've taken this by accident!
The Guys: doodeedootdootdee~
Thank you new patrons that decide to pledge because of a certain someone’s “accidental” pics. It has been a while since I’ve gotten new patrons so I’m genuinely happy (and found it hilarious) even if it’s for lewd reasons! Good job though, you’re just making it more likely for me to be a lewd, or at least a fan service artist (on the side)… which I’ll decide when next year hits!

Tammy: I'm gonna go over there and look for the photo myself! Ya know, just in case there are more accidental photos!
Keith: Um, sure.
[Five minutes later...]
Keith: Got a lot of accidental photos in there huh?
Tammy: Y-yeah... OH! Found it but-
Tammy: -I don't remember taking this photo. And what... who is that?!
Hibi-Hibi: The Bakunawa before she was cursed as her punishment. I'll tell you her story later.
Hibi-Hibi: Photos reveal the truth, and truth is harmful to certain creatures and curses. Some of us who have close contact with humans have adapted to cameras to some extent. Most are just camera-shy though! Now then, you've seen the moon before being cursed-
Hibi-Hibi: -how do you two feel?
Whoo, finally made four pages in a month! Now, the real challenge is to keep it up and make more… If things go well, I might be able to make 1 or 2 more pages before the month ends.

Keith: I still can't see the moon.
Tammy: Cause it's right over there.
Hibi-Hibi: How about... Cruz? Can you tell us some facts about the moon?
Cruz: Easy! The moon is big! The moon is round!! The moon is a lie!!!
Cruz: wait.
Hibi-Hibi: {sigh} I suppose a mere photo isn't powerful enough...
Hibi-Hibi: ...to break the curse of an accursed giant ancient winged moon-eating sea dragon goddess of the underworld. Oop, that was a mouthful!
Cruz: That's what we're dealing with here?!
Keith: It was worth a shot. And well, at least we got something out of it.
Anyone wanna arm wrassle Hibi? She’s no pushover though.

Keith: So, what now?
Hibi-Hibi: I know a guy. We're a little closer to them since we drove all the way here.
Hibi-Hibi: Buuut they're still a couple of islands away.
Cruz: Oh. Boats aren't available at this hour.
Hibi-Hibi: Yes, and I should mention that when the eclipse ends, there's a chance that the curse might end on its own...
Hibi-Hibi: But the odds are against us and it's likely that it will be permanent too since it's a goddess' curse after all. If we don't break it in time that is.
Hibi-Hibi: Good thing I also know a shortcut. Now, hold hands everyone!
1st panel roughly shows their heights. Forgive me though for forgetting them myself, especially with Myan in some of the previous pages. Though I might break that “rule”/modify their heights as needed if it makes panel composition easier since differing heights complicates things.
And ughh, sorry if the shadows here are kinda meh (hopefully it’s just me). Most of my focus for the page was spent on drawing the 1st panel (multiple people holding hands are…whew!), and the dialogue for the rest of the page. Just wanted to finish the page no matter what since I still want to finish four more pages before September is over. And I suppose rendering the campfire’s light+shadows is getting a bit little tiring, so I guess it’s time to figure out a simpler way to shade stuff. But hmm, they’re heading into the darkness of the forest so I might not need to learn that for now.

Tammy: ...what?
Cruz: You got ruff paws.
Myan: Mwine awe vewy soft and suppwe! (Mine are very soft and supple!)
Hibi-Hibi: E-everyone holding hands? We're going on a little walk!
Keith: Pardon, a walk? I thought we need a boat?
Hibi-Hibi: Not with this shortcut. I'll explain on the way.
Hibi-Hibi: Just follow me, and you may want to hold on tight if you don't want to get lost in there for decades!
Keith: Wait, what was that last part?
Trying out other ways to depict nighttime/darkness. Of course, I can’t make it too dark like in real life or else it’ll all be just black.
I’ve tried to make this enchanted forest as enchanted as possible, but honestly my mind’s blank. Hope it’s magical enough for now!

Cruz: We should've brought flashlights or something...
Keith: Yeah, I'm not too keen on an evening walk in the woods.
Hibi-Hibi: Us girls can see just fine, don't worry we'll guide you.
Tammy: Wow, I can see clearly as if it's afternoon. A small blessing with this curse I guess... *sniiff* hmm?
Tammy: The air is fresher here.
Cruz: And it's not that dark ahead.
Myan: ...
Keith: Do we still need to...
Hibi-Hibi: Yes, keep holding hands until we're past our shortcut-
Hibi-Hibi: -the Waywoods
Oof, having an actual story/lore/worldbuilding is tough for me since I’ve drawn more than written, plus I have to draw the thing too… Oh well, all part of the job I suppose!
That guy is a tikbalang by the way. Copied the notes below just in case you can’t read the text.

Hibi-Hibi: All woods in the world are connected to the Waywoods. And yes, we're not exactly on Earth anymore. If you get lost in heavily wooded areas, there's a chance that you'll end up in here. One may also enter it willingly like we did. These Woodways are usually near places of power.
Hibi-Hibi: These entrances are normally invisible to human eyes, but if you've passed through a Woodway once, you'll always know where to find that specific Woodway again. Some powerful entities like diwatas, me included, have domains in the Waywoods centered around their home. Like my tree for example.
Hibi-Hibi: Various creatures also call the Waywoods their home such as...oh! This gentleman over here.
Tammy: T-tabi-tabi po...
Cruz: Tabi-tabi po!
Myan: ...tabi-tabi po?
Keith: Tabi-tabi po.
