Oren's Forge PG 199

To clarify— yes, that’s the one-eyed wolf from pg 119, just a little older and worse for wear. The other wolf is the same as from the first ~10 pages of the story with the bison— her design is a bit different just because my style has evolved since 2015 when I originally drew her. (No idea what I was thinking with how I originally drew her neck rough, to be honest.) Redrawing the early wolves is high on my to-do list, as far as updating art for the print edition.

SO, WHAT’S NEXT?

A fine question! The next volume of Oren’s Forge will continue pretty much where this first one has left off. Rask will still be the main protagonist, you’ve not seen the last of Hemlock, and, as you can probably guess, the wolves are going to play a big part.

I’ll be spending the majority of May working on updating older artwork for the print edition, since the KickStarter funded in under five hours(!) I’ll be posting progress here, plus a layout tutorial and taking some polls for wolf names in May.

In the later part of June, I will start posting a short, Patreon-only comic about Oren and the One-Eyed Wolf. Hopefully it will add some insight into Oren and let readers get to know this wolf guy and the history between the two.

I plan for the main story to continue this year in the fall. There’s a lot of conceptual art I need to make leading up to it and I’ll be posting that here throughout the summer.

Thank you, everyone, who helped support this comic! 

It would never have been finished if not for Patreon, nor would it have evolved into the story it is now. Comics have become my full-time job and I’m really grateful to have the chance to craft and share stories. If you decide to stick around through the summer, know it’s sincerely appreciated! Otherwise, I hope you see you back later this year when the main story continues!
