Early update! I may or may not get one up next Monday, so I'm going to shake the schedule up a little because bah! boundaries, who needs 'em!
This wasn't originally going to be a huge vertical format, but the happy trio in the first panel was coming out so beautifully as I worked that they begged to be enlarged and who am I to argue with them? It's rare enough we see them all happy at once. I'm pretty sure this is the first page they are all smiling on and I may or may not have actually gotten a little emotional about it.

THIS is why I am pro-going-green. Nature is such a precious thing.

Eilonwy looks like she can breathe for the first time in her life, Fflewddur looks refreshed, Taran looks like he's come to where his spirit calls home. And all surrounded by gorgeous colors and peaceful, playful animals. Well done.

They just make it even better don’t they? That doofy expression they wear. Every cow should have bangs....they’d be too cute to live in horrible mass dairy facilities.

The fawn, the pond, the shadows on the grass, F&E busting out of frame in the first panel, the distinct emotions.... Brava!

I watched you draw some of this!
You do a lot of work zoomed out. It's neat.
This place must be a continual buffet for those wolves. No wonder they're so happy!

Thanks for being one of the three! Lol I don’t that much bc it’s such a slow process idk what people see in it really, unless the artist is really chatty into the void, which I’m not. I prefer speed draw vids if I’m gonna show off skills, but now and then it’s fun (it also keeps me working instead of distractedly browsing, so there’s that).
As for the wolves...it’s strongly implied that Medwyn is a vegetarian, but the text stays conveniently silent about what he feeds his carnivores.

I just can't get over how happy they all look, especially E's face in the last panel. This page must have been really fun for you to create!

It made me smile for sure, and also get a little teary-eyed and wistful. :)

Eilonwy & Taran look like they've just awakened from a bad dream. Also, I'm right in the crunch of paper-grading at the end of the semester, and I am vicariously enjoying their relief. Thanks for another beautiful page!

I'm sure that's rather how it feels to them! The healing effects of peaceful nature on the psyche are something I wish everyone could benefit from and it's so lovely to see them experience it here.

AAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW!!! Taran and Eilonwy are so cute. This is probably the first time E's ever seen nature like this in her life. She grew up in Spiral Castle with Achren and the Cauldron-born and it's all dark and gloomy and grey and now she's in a beautiful peaceful valley surrounded by soft grass and friendly animals and sunshine and fresh air and you can just SEE how happy she is.
Taran grew up in Caer Dallben, which is a miniature version of Medwyn's valley in my imagination and he's been so homesick lately that this is an extremely bittersweet experience for him, and I can't wait to see how you draw the scene where they leave. I'll probably cry tbh. Heck, I cried a little bit on this page too.
You did an amazing job capturing this moment. I can remember feeling like them at the end of the school year freshman year of high school and this made me really nostalgic, now that I'm a junior and drowning in exams. :/

I also just realized that Eilonwy and Fflewdur are holding hands in panel 3 and just want to say that I LOVE the way you portray their father-daughter relationship. I feel that Fflewdur would be a great father if he could ever find it in himself to settle down, and Eilonwy lost her parents at such a young age that she's probably never had a positive adult influence in her life until she met Fflewdur. It's just natural that they've adopted each other. I believe good family relationships are underestimated and sorely needed in modern literature so they're a prominent theme in most of my own fiction, and I always end up fangirling over it when I find a good example.
I would also like to know how their conversation went when she first rescued him from the cell - before she went back to get Taran. We never get to see that first introduction in the books. Maybe I'll write a fanfic sometime?! :)

Oh, by all means, write fanfic!!! but meanwhile, you need to read mine because I've already dealt with this in EXHAUSTIVE detail. :)
You can find it here, with the pertinent part of your wondering being covered in chapter 4. ;)
I love that you noticed the hand-holding. I don't think anyone else has yet, or at least thought to mention it. :)
