This weekend was a bit quiet, as I’ve been snowbound thanks to the lovely blizzard that hit on Saturday. Luckily, I had power. Still, it made me wish that I was where these guys are now; somewhere nice and warm.

On a sidenote, next weekend I will be attending Katsucon, so there will be no regular update. I will provide you with a nice sketch, though.

And for Page One, lots of background. I spent quite a bit of time on the first panel, and it pained me to cover up some of that with word bubbles, even though I planned for it. Ah well.

You’ll notice that Jonathan’s earlier entry occurred on Starday as well. I’ve created an entire calendar for this world, based on our calendar’s 364 days, 12 month, 7 day model (this planet’s rotation around their sun is similar to Earth), and as I calculated their voyage, it just so happened they ended up in Dryfast on Starday as well. Starday happens in the middle of the week. A typical calendar week goes like this: Sunsday, Moonday, Fireday, Starday, Earthday, Airday, Waterday.

Welcome to Chapter Two! For the subsequent chapters, I’ll be mimicking the manga format and drawing a picture of the characters, not related to the main story.

And, that’s the end of Chapter One! Next week, chapter two!

I’m experimenting with using screentones more. I still haven’t found a happy medium yet, but I’m liking the way I did the sunset.
