Opens in September

I don't think anyone reads this, but just in case, I wanted to make an update so people don't think I've abandoned the site.

I've been working like CRAZY on this comic. The more I work on it, the better I get at drawing. The better I get at drawing, the more detail I want to put in. The more detail I want to put in, the longer it takes to finish!

I've now got 72 pages complete out of a planned 112. I plan to start debuting the comic online in September, with weekly 8-page installments. The first series should be wrapped up in December. Hopefully, it will continue with a second Volume at some point in the distance, but I'll definitely be taking a significant break. This is tough, but fulfilling work! More so than I imagined.

I've posted one panel I'm fond of, as a preview. It's starting to look really awesome, which is frustrating, because the artwork at the beginning of the story pales in comparison to what I'm doing now. Part of me wants to go back and touch up or retouch certain parts, but I think it'll be better to just post things as I originally drew them. That way you get to see the evolution of the artwork. Maybe when the whole thing's been posted, I'll take some time to go back and "remaster" some of the panels from the first half of the story.

Anyway, I'm more psyched for this than ever, the story is coming together in a better way than I imagined, and the artwork is better than I ever thought I'd be able to do. I can't wait to share it.

So: I am making a promise, now, to my nonexistent readers, that these will start getting posted online in September.
