Author's Notes:
The next scene is on its way soon! If you want to read new Tamberlane the second it's available, you should support us on Patreon! Apricot Croissant patrons will get the pages literally minutes after I finish drawing them; Cuppa Tea patrons get that page a week later; and the public will receive free updates here on the site once each 3-5 page sequence is complete (usually once a month).
(also, if you enjoy these kinds of behind-the-scenes peeks, the Apricot Croissant tier gets all our musings on process, writing, art, and more~)
You can also receive Tamberlane in your email when the public updates drop! Sign up for our newsletter and never miss an update!
And of course...
Don't Miss the Shop Drop on February 1st!
At 12pm PST, we will be opening the gates for folks to order merch! If there's anything you regret not getting during the 2023 Kickstarter, or if you want to gift some shinies to your loved ones, hop on it fast because once the merch designs are gone, they're GONE.
During this writing period, Ari and I have spent some of our downtime perfecting our ~groove~ when it comes to merch, and we plan on having more merch drops throughout the year. We're going to be exploring a lot of options, testing all the waters, and we can't wait to bring you along for the ride!
So make sure you bookmark the shop -- and maybe subscribe to our newsletter if you want shop announcements in your inbox!
Enjoy -- and see you on February 1st at 12pmPST!
Transcript
Tales from the Writing Room: Drawing Board
ARI: YAY!! The scene script is done!
CAYTLIN: We did it! Whew, that was so much work...!
ARI: This wasn't what we wanted to get across at all!
CAYTLIN: Back to the drawing board!
Tales from the Writing Room: Infinity
Ari and Caytlin, heads down with exhaustion, pass drafts of the script back and forth, saying, "draft" each time they pass it along.
Tales from the Writing Room: Oops, All Vital
ARI: It's a bit long, but I think it's a solid draft!
CAYTLIN: Oh, this is great!! Let's see if I can kill some darlings and cut it down!
CAYTLIN: Oh no... It's all important...
Tales from the Writing Room: Huge
ARI: Hey, remember when we wanted to cap chapters at 130 pages?
CAYTLIN: HA HA, don't remind me
CAYTLIN: freakin' necessary storybeats...
Tales from the Writing Room: Webcomic Time
ARI: I can't wait to see everyone's reaction to THIS part!
CAYTLIN: IT'S GONNA BE SO GOOD!!
ARI: In like... 6 months...
CAYTLIN: I've waited 10 years; I can wait a few more months...
