Author notes

SOMEONE has had plastic surgery. Not a lot, she's pretty pretty on her own. (Ch. 3 Pg. 21)

So we contrast Mary's moment with her mother with an introduction of her ARCH-NEMESIS: her brother, Tristan. He's actually younger than her, but he looks kind of older here and I liked how his face turned out so I didn't change it. And it doesn't really matter. He's her brother, that's all you need to know.

Do you guys like more information about characters down here? I always feel like I have a lot to say, because I've known these characters forever, but I also feel that the comic should be able to 'speak for itself' but at the same time … as I just said a sentence ago … I've known these characters forever. So every tiny little thing will not show up in the comic no matter how much I put in it.

Anyway, this page is okay. I think my writing is weak here… My dialogue is pretty meh sometimes. I've always been pretty bad at dialogue. Well. I know I'm not terrible but it's never been a strength of mine. I consider 'my thing' to be more story and character.

Also, I know it's not that cool since it includes two comics and a few covers and random pictures, but with the last page I got that wee award in my profile that said I've done 100 comic pages. This means a lot to me. When I was thirteen and totally in love with Sailor Moon and making shitty attempts at comics and failing after the first ten pages and declaring, "hmm, comics must not be for me, guess I'll go write my novels now doo dee doo" … couldn't imagine that now, years later, that I would have 100 pages of comic done. Whoa-ha!

This has been a long commentary! For the lazy: Next update: Sunday.

Edit: I've replied to your replies just now, so go back one. Since I've updated two days in a row I didn't get around to replying until now, sorry.
