It’s a couple of days late, but it’s been a weird week. Well, it’s been a weird year, to be honest, but this past week has certainly condensed a lot of that strangeness into one dense blob of chaos. It ended with me getting chased by police because they thought I was a suicidal madman, when in fact I was just screaming my anger away at the world. I was dressed like a Victorian dandy at the time, too, and when questioning my intentions said police were greeted with rambling nonsense and wild hand gestures. It’s possibly a good thing my eyeliner ran out last week. On the positive side, they at least got the madman part right.

There is genuine tragedy behind all this, but that’s not nearly as entertaining.

ANYHOW! You’d like to know this month’s schedule, I’m sure? We’re going back to full-chapter Fridays because… because.

June 10th: #88: Avenger
June 17th: #89: The Will to Power
June 24th: #90: When You Awaken

Those aren’t actually the chapter numbers I’ve written them under, because of some restructuring of early chapters, but I’ll deal with that once the arc is over, so people don’t get confused!

Meanwhile, here’s another book cover concept:

I got sidetracked by pencilling, so expect something a little different to the usual inked artwork next week D:!

What isn't there to love about purple-haired Cockney tomboys?

Didn’t think there was much point starting a new chapter when all I currently have for it is the title page. I really don’t like this method of updating in segments, but I’ve not even started properly, so I’ll continue the trial! I’ve been preoccupied, so I’ve not managed to get much else finalised, but never mind. Like I said on Wednesday, I’ll only be uploading 1-2 pages per-update until I’ve got a backlog accumulated.

Anyway, here’s the title page, expect actual chapter content to come on Monday.

Pages 8 and 9 will be released tomorrow/today/Monday/whatever. Here’s something to tide you over until then…

What could Lyra be facing? Is it Awyr? Or has Byron finally pushed her too far?
