(Yes, I said that it would come out on the 29th but it didn’t work with my schedule. Enjoy.) This thumbnails for the chapter were made by the talented artists @catsfourever and @PeachesAndPies (It was a tie, so I threw both in! Ty!!) ! I’ll leave a personal note for each artist: @catsfourever - I SCREAMED when I saw your first version (I was heading from a Fall Out Boy concert)— AND THEN YOU REMADE IT?? The colors. The tears. The way the fur flows over Auburn’s eyes?? Phenomenal work. <33 @ PeachesAndPies - GAHHH I’ve always LOVED your artwork, and your comic so when I saw that you made a TN I WAS HONORED?? And no, this isn’t a bias win lmao. I truly loved this entry. I felt the pose you chose very fitting for how Auburn was in this chapter. The *hopeless* look. The glow coming faintly out of his eyes?? I just. Love all the little details you put into this!! TY, SINCERELY!! ^^ Song : I’ve decided music will not be appropriate for the next three chapters. (Chapter 41-43). Consider your music privileges revoked /j Artist's Corner -------------------- Welcome to the 2024 Willow Walkers season- I hope you’re ready for this year since I’ve checked and there’s a WHOLE lot more lore, agony, and angst! Strap in, cause this silly little wolf comic is gonna keep going for a WHILE! And, here comes the new upload schedule- a new chapter every two weeks, unless time doesn’t allow for me to post it! (Which is.. a good probability for this year, haha. I have a lot of trips plans. Going to Vegas, going to dc.. seeing AJR in Philadelphia.. yeaaaaah.. busy!) So, while I was on winter break, and a little bit over various weekends- I’ve been hard at work with a buffer for you all! This means I’ll have 2-3 WW chapters stockpiled at a time, so posting can continue regularly! Heck, if I even get comfortable, I could up the posting to a week and a 1/2. One last thing- you may notice how WW is undergoing a new style of shading in 2024! I wanted to implement this into the comic earlier- but I found it more time consuming. Well, the buffer allows me to provide more higher quality chapters! Enjoy, haha! But I genuinely enjoyed writing this chapter, and making it. Brand new year, new shading and all that! ( spoilers for the chapter ) a TON of you predicted Osprey would be in the next chapter— well, you were right! And.. yeaaaaah nooo this isn’t gonna be a fun time for him. Oh, that reminds me! I can now state the purpose of Auburn’s “Soggy Auburn” design. Better known as- “Depressed Auburn.” ..Teeheee OHHHH BOYY OH MAAAAAN you guys know that random extremely to the back side character that you just. Randomly get attached to. That would be Tangerine for me. Everytime I get to draw him i audibly squeal because no one else can hardly remember the tiny side characters lmao. But I do. So I was very excited to draw Tangerine with wings lol. Osprey lore btw?? I love drawing Osprey with large, sad puppy dog eyes. He is so wetcatcore. (Or. Wetdogcore lol.) So, yes! It seems he *at one point* sided with Finder. Anyhow hope you enjoy sad chapters. There’s a lot upcoming. It’ll get better eventually.
