New Cover Now, New Chapter Soon
I added a new, full-color cover sketch for the site. Chapter nine is in progress, taking longer due to extra pages. You'll see why I needed extra pages, believe me.
Ruby Harrison's goals to get into Stanford have faced some challenges-- namely, being turned into a superhuman giant amidst a lab accident at her father's work. Her chances for normalcy have been shattered, but when Ruby learns that her genetic alterations are linked to Beagle Labs' plot to turn abducted subjects into monstrous super-soldiers, she realizes that there are bigger concerns than her angst. Joined by some new friends with similar gripes against the company, Ruby tries to bring justice to a world that believes it has outgrown that word...

Go directly to the start of Chapter 8 HERE , and expect big things coming soon....
New page contains personal contact information and areas of interest around the net ( still very much in progress, though ).
For the benefit of new readers who can't keep track of the main cast, and old readers who enjoy narrations from psychopaths, a cast page. More to come. -N.
New Chapter + New Front Page Sketch= What I Cautiously but Optimistically Assume is Awesome.
Another month, another chapter. Expect more site design stuff as well as comics in the forseeable future.

Finally finished another chapter, with some format tweaks; one, a shorter length, and two, a cover sketch to denote the chapter. As with manga chapter intro sketches and modern American comic covers, it isn't necessarily related to the content within the comic, just a sketch that I think looks cool.
The length reduction ( 6 story pages, as opposed to 9 ) is so I can update more frequently; the more developed my skills get, the longer it takes to do. While I'd hardly call myself the next Frank Quitely, I do think that I've become a better artist now than I was on the first page. As a consequence, it means that my more ambitious attempts take more time.
Since this is currently a hobby done in spare time between graduate classes, I will indulge in experimentation at any point convenient, but as always, your feedback will help shape it.
