Originally Vaagen was talking on this page as well, responding to whatever Bogdan was saying, but Bogdan wasn’t paying attention. After about three iterations of it, I cut Vaagen’s lines entirely and Bogdan didn’t notice, he just kept rambling on.

Also, a cautionary tale about too many revisions. My very first version of the last panel was my favorite, but I second-guessed myself and drew something much worse. So I tried a different approach which was better, but still not as good as the original. But by then, the pencil smudges were terrible, the eraser was tearing up the page, and I couldn’t recapture the first pencils. So I tried once more and came up with something that was almost like it was the first time, but not quite.

As a final note, that dude does look ever so slightly bull-like, doesn’t he? I think Merunga might trade in her horses for domesticated minotaurs.
