In part, the story direction was driven by the reference photos. They frequently inspired upcoming panels/pages as I scanned through to do the work. When I began the story, I expected Coyote to seek answers from the Spirit Chief (often referred to as the Great Spiirit) much earlier in the story. I had some thoughts of multiple level realities and Coyote poking around backstage, working his way down levels to a world of stick figure people. In that storyline, coyote would stay constant as he shifted between levels, but when he brought a person with him, that individual would find themselves changed in each new level. A stick figure man would suddenly find himself with new dimensions. Though starting as a mere shadow to Coyote, he would in time become more "real", and Coyote his trick backfiring, would become the shadow to him. But the story wandered off in a completely different direction from those initial ideas. But that's part of the fun of the challenge, isn't it?
This strip was drawn digitally with a wacom graphics tablet - at no time did actual paper enter the process.
Later if I print some up or something, then it'll see paper.
I hope you enjoyed the results as much as I enjoyed the challenge.
