And that's a wrap on chapter 1! Of course, I spend a bunch of time on details in the canyons, only for it to be obscured almost entirely by the heat wave effect on the Whaleship's thrusters. Oh well! Another shoutout to t3rminus for helping me hash out dialogue for this page! 

A look at this page in full resolution! While I highly doubt that I'll ever manage to print my comic, I've still been working under the possibility of it MAYBE one day in aeons, so I carefully planned out the pages so that this page would work as a 2 page spread in print as well.

I want to thank everyone who has been along for the ride so far! This comic is a passion project of mine, and I've been having SO much fun doing it. It's been a massive learning process, and I'm looking forward to changing a few things up for chapter 2 with some of the stuff I've learned.

I will be taking a break before chapter 2 starts, I have it mostly scripted, but I need to finish refining the script, and get a buffer going before I start posting it. 

The website won't be dead in the meantime, however, I'm going to start with a couple weeks of updates - showing off the whaleship blueprints, and some character designs, and then I'm going to tell an Intermission story. 

I'm hoping to do an intermission story between each chapter - something short and done just in 'pencils', that I can post while I'm working on getting the buffer stored up, as well as something I can do that's less intensive and I can get a proper break so I don't burn out! And it will still be something interested for people to read in the downtime.

Once again, thank you SO much for reading this far!
