For pages 77-81.Luckily I split pages 80 and 81 into individual pages! Otherwise the arrival scene would have been horrendous. The upper panels on pg 78 changed for the better too.

For pages 73-76.Below is the first sketch of pg 76. It perfectly captures how hard it is for me to draw Bendy-Ears.

Suddenly a creation story.

The first splash page of the comic! This is why we're getting two pages this week. Anyway, meet god.

There will be an additional page uploaded next week! From there Patreon will always be two pages ahead of the public.
Testing Usma's owl
Creepy lil thing. Almost made it miss a leg until coming up with the bird handshake on page 85.

Uh oh nerd alert! I regret making that fawn green hued with white spots. How on earth did I think it'd be a good idea in a scene with green grass and white flowers...edit: It bugged me enough that I fixed it some. Hopefully he's easier to see now. Also edited some of Runi's dialogue.
Stranger
This was supposed to be a refined sketch but it I went a little further with the bg and now the sketchy characters don't fit it so well but eh! Here are the ladies. What are they up to...

Snif, and yall were so excited to see birds getting eaten or stomped into paste. Usma isn't very happy with the turn of events either. But I'm happy the scene is over![Download for full size]
Golden Shrike has a Discord channel now!
And I had no idea it'd automatically force you to join it, lmao! I'm sorry for the disturbance if you didn't plan on joining. Patreon bot should automatically assign you to your tier's role.
GS Discord?
I've been thinking about it, but I'm still not sure. I haven't been on servers dedicated for one comic so I'm not sure what kind of things those usually contain. Would you be interested?If I were to create a discord for GS, what would you want to see there? It'd be open for all r...

Next bonus comic?
After posting each chapter I aim to make 4 paged sketchy bonus comic for Magpie pledgers. They tend to be fillers between scenes, small things happening within the plot that give some depth to characters. What would you want to see after ch 4? I have a preference but I want to hear what you'd li...

Sorry for the slightly late upload! I forgot to schedule.Scenes like these make me a little uncomfortable to make public. Whenever characters have to explain things that are very relevant to the plot (thus needing extra thought for wording) but possibly dull to listen (how the world functions, herds...

Cameo call 2 - batch 6
This should be everyone (plus 3 designs (Sanga, Dolou, Azura) that already got refs during the first cameo call)! Keep in mind that they might change a little on the final pages, and some will be smaller/a little blurred whileas some might have bigger roles.The first cameos of the call 2 start to ap...

Well it is The Gathering.5th panel's brown doe on the left is Kimi's Umi, but she has such an ordinary (but very sweet) design I couldn't do her much justice with a headshot.[ Download for full size ]
Gitta + Prue ref sheets
I just can't avoid doing extra work although I already have my hands full, so let's have some more refs of minor characters! Here's some notes I have of them.Prue: Prue is a fair young doe. She works hard to appear controlled and graceful in any situation, but under the pretty looks she&...
