...And putting it online anyway.

After calculating a realistic drawing schedule, I realised I could just as well post this story online while I'm working on it. If I wanted to complete it before posting anything, I wouldn't update my site in 14 months. And that sounded a bit harsh to me.

So, here's what I'll be aiming for: three pages a week. I'll be posting them in monthly installments of twelve, to cut myself some slack. The first six pages are up now, for starters. Enjoy!

Draw it again. And again. And again.

There's hardly been any time to draw pages these past few weeks! I'll be working fulltime until the end of June  and I'm moving house as well. And then there's a couple of family matters... Oh, well. Just a few more weeks until I get my 'drawing Tuesday' all back for myself.

In the meantime, here's an idea of how I've been tweaking the first couple of pages. It's another reason my progress has slowed down: these first pages have become a kind of test lab where I can work out some style / drawing issues.

Well, I hope this panel has improved...
