This comic is 14 pages of lavish watercolor comic with pencil color accents for an early teen demographic. It was released exclusively in a soft-cover perfect-bound volume form.
This is Becca Hillburn's third watercolor comic and features Kara's introduction to a human. The main character, Kara, is used as branding for much of Becca Hillburn's work as it is her main body of work since graduating from SCAD: The University of Creative Careers, where she earned a Master of Fine Arts in sequential arts.
Process scans and photos of this chapter exist on Becca Hillburn's art process blog, Keep On Truckin', Nattosoup. The word bubbles were produced digitally. The sound effects were painted or pencil-colored, but the font is bitmap-based created from Becca Hillburn's hand writing.
Much of the wildlife and structures from this issue were referenced from personal photographs of Luling, LA. The town is in a relatively remote area in which much of the population is still superstitious and is sparely populated enough such that small people could go unnoticed.
