Wow, this page should have been done two days ago. I've basically been drawing nonstop for two weeks, and I think I'm beginning to run out of juice. I believe it's time for a day off before I go insane. Or at least more so than I already was.

I made a few minor changes for this page. I've thickened Jean's arms out a bit so they don't look like sticks anymore. Also, at iliekcheez's urgings I have started doing linework on Cassie's ponytail (or qui or whatever the fuck he wants to call it.) It sort of works and sort of doesn't. I think ultimately it was an improvement, but as usual I'm not a huge fan of my own linework. I try to avoid linework wherever possible, (my backgrounds being a case in point) because that's where my dysgraphia starts to show itself. The ponytail…qui…thing is basically two lines which have to maintain roughly equal distance from each other while twisting and turning all over the blasted place. It's a dysgraphic's nightmare.

It's a good thing I'm not planning to have this published, because in book form this comic would make no sense. There has been a time gap of several minutes between each of the last three pages, and next update we're going to jump backwards. Also The people we're following keeps changing. It's like the author has ADHD or something, which incidentally I do, but I assure you I know what I'm doing. Once the story really gets rolling things ought to settle down a bit and become more sequential.
