Hello Readers!
I feel so accomplished. I can't tell you how glad I am that this comic is finally underway and that you are here reading it.
It fills me with a distinct sense of satisfaction to know that, yes, I can actually do this.
But please bear with me. This will be a learning process for me. This is my first comic and I'm new to the whole thing. Comments will be kept in a velvet box and put on a pedestal!
Some things I've learned this week:
-Coloring these pages is the longest process at this point, but I will continue to color them all. I know it takes a long time, but really, I enjoy doing it.
-Dialog is a pain in the neck. Seriously.
-Sleep is for the weak.
-Picking finals week to launch your comic when you are a full time student is a dumb idea. Period.
In other news, I think I will have the next page done by this coming Wednesday, possibly late Tuesday night.
Again, thanks for reading and I hope you stick around. This thing is just getting started!
Much love.

Much love to you. Attempting environment layout and coloring, especially a scene with water in it, is really a feather in your hat. You're problem solving all the time!! You're right to enjoy it, and sleep IS for the week. This from someone up 'till 2:30 am this morning ... ** yawn **

You and I both made the same mistake to pick finals week for a comic binge, but we shall prevail. With this comic, be proud of this. You have created something really stellar. Especially your attention to detail, I often find myself becoming bored with the smaller things and want to work on the big picture, but you have such a keen eye for things like that, especially with your establishing shot. The only thing, and I mean the ONLY criticism I have is your brush sizes. In some places, like under the tanker in the first panel, the brush stroke is obvious, buy just going over that once more will really make a difference. :) Keep it up, you've really got a great thing going here. Absolute 5. -Wing
