Charmcaster leads Ben and Gwen into a clearing before announcing an uninvited guest.
I had to decide how I would color some things, as is standard for a shift in location, so it took some extra time to figure out. But, it should be quicker moving forward now that it’s decided.
Charmcaster is fully convinced as to Gwendolyn’s identity after a thorough explanation.
I colored Gwendolyn’s eyebrows as they should have been, and corrected the previous two pages as well. I had forgotten that the concept image for this model had the eyebrows different from how they appeared in the show, as well as differently from how they appeared in the even later future version, but I realized while doing this page.
Ben tries to show off about his future self until Charmcaster interrupts, but she learns an unsettling truth about her own.
I didn’t include the backgrounds in the sketch this time, and I probably won’t in most pages moving forward. These types of backgrounds are much easier to do when the foreground figures are all lined and colored. Doing things that way means I can be much sloppier with roughing things in, and at this point I shouldn’t really have to do a cleaner sketch now that I know exactly the process I want to use. It also means I won’t have to be as precise when it comes to the lining, which is always useful and easier on the hand.
Charmcaster storm off with Gwen in frustration, so Gwendolyn resumes her activities with Ben to give them some space.
Later than usual this time around because I had to make a lot of decisions about upcoming pages before I could really finalize this one. There are still a lot more decisions to be made, but at least I made enough that I could get drawing. Now I line then color this.

Finally done. This page took absolutely forever to complete. Drawing the characters a combined 18 times in one page simply made it take forever to line, and coloring wasn’t all that fast either. But, finally done at least, so here it is.
Charmcaster tries to resume her lesson with Gwen, but Ben and Gwendolyn continue to be a distraction.
I decided again that the backgrounds on this page will be simpler to do once I’ve got the foreground lined and colored, so I left them out in the sketch. I’ll get to lining and coloring this page now.
Charmcaster attempts to resume Gwen’s lesson, but Ben and Gwendolyn continue to be a distraction.
Finally done. This page luckily wasn’t nearly as difficult as the previous one so it won’t be dragging further into the week. Now I work on other things then get to the next page.
Gwen notices Charmcaster’s lack of focus and has a plan to aid her.
Luckily this page wasn’t too difficult, because I got a very late start this weekend. I ended up going over 24 hours, which was most of Friday and Saturday, without electricity. Now I try to line and color this.
