Some time ago I decided to rework this cover so that it was a little more consistent with the looks of the other issue 1 covers. Tonight, I want to finish that up and clear it off my plate of projects. #makingcomics twitch.tv/CelestianIOF

Okay, sadly I will need at least another week to finish this book properly. It was a time, and the ambition was clear, but my execution was off because of my poor planning. I'll finish it over the next few days and make sure it gets up to the website in November. #makingcomics
