Enter into this stunning realm of galactic dragons that live on Jupiter and its moons.

It's hard enough drawing things we can see… what about those we can't see? How do you portray invisible things in a webcomic like magic, wind, earthquakes, scorching heat, invisible people, and so on?

And so we're finally here. The magnificent, ever so popular and edgy Gray characters are the object of our observation today!
