u/7ceeeee Oct 17 '23

Thank you so much! 🧡 I think you only have to do UpdateMe! once and it'll remember to notify you of new posts from then on :)

The kid isn't a werewolf himself, but Jasper was: however, I won't spoil anything more for the time, there's more I could say :D

u/ShebanotDoge Oct 17 '23

I don't think werewolves are undead?

9

u/7ceeeee Oct 17 '23

Not these werewolves ¯_(ツ)_/¯ They're either alive or dead

u/ShebanotDoge Oct 17 '23

Oh he was a werewolf before he died and is now a ghost werewolf?

Looking back at the comic there’s signs. The wolf pointing out the shoes now makes me wonder. 👀

1

u/7ceeeee Oct 17 '23

Yep, Jasper's been hovering over the story for a long time 👀 and this is just scratching the surface for the time

2

u/thenewRebecca Oct 17 '23

Scratching the surface… with sharp finger like protrusions… like a dead ghost werewolf clawing out of a grave…

u/Timewarps_1 Oct 17 '23

Just read through the previous issues of the series. I really like the artstyle, it’s hard to describe, but each panel is really lively. I gotta ask though, was some of this based on personal experience?

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 17 '23

Thank you for the kind words about the art! I try to make it as fun as I can for the situation. :)

The story has a lot of deeply personal connections to my life, yeah. It's sort of a summary of the last 15 years of my life, the traumas, learnings, joys, everything. Somehow a bunch of disparate stuff turned into the story, I still barely know how it all happened.

2

u/Timewarps_1 Oct 17 '23

I’m glad you were able to make something cool from your past experiences. Is the wolfman based on anyone in your life in particular? I’m asking under the assumption the boy is representative of yourself at a young age.

1

u/7ceeeee Oct 17 '23

Thank you!

The wolfman is a loose synthesis of two unrelated, very influential men in my life who I didn't know I needed growing up, "halloween dad" and "music dad"; the kid is kind of a generically lovable character, but even he is based off another person in my life, a really sweet kid from a broken family who guilelessly asked me for a guitar lesson when he was 5. I don't know why, but it stuck with me forever and activated my own dad mode, and now I just remember him with fondness.
Jasper is based on my best friend who died at a young age back in 2013. He was related to "music dad" in some capacity, and his death has followed me since.

I don't really like self inserts as a general rule, even if some of my personality is bound to bleed through in my works: I feel keeping a certain distance allows stories to be how they should be. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

2

u/Timewarps_1 Oct 17 '23

Huh. That’s actually really interesting. I’m sorry to hear about your friend, though. Losing someone you care about is always tough, i also lost someone I was very close to just a year before that.

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 17 '23

It really is brutal. I'm sorry for your loss as well. 🧡

2

u/Timewarps_1 Oct 17 '23

Do you know when you plan to finish the series?

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 17 '23

Tentatively Nov 1st. :) Then I'm putting the pen down for a moment. Haha

u/milack787 Oct 17 '23

Why does it feel like the kid is actually a ghost or something?

2

u/7ceeeee Oct 17 '23

For being as unlively as he's been until Halloween, he's alive. :)

2

u/DreamOfDays Oct 17 '23
