I am really, really sorry this took so long. It was very hard to draw, and I'm not really sure why (the detailed hair didn't affect it, I was just bored and wanted to experiment a little). If I take this long again, please feel free to ask what's happened/demand a page/send death threats etc. because it might just get me to finish the thing -_-;
Only one more page of chapter one left! And this one shouldn't take as long, hopefully.
It actually took me a while to decide on 2856 as the year this is set (for now, at least) because I like accuracy, and I was trying to realistically work out how much human technology might plausibly have advanced in that amount of time. You won't get to see what I've done with the planet until the latter half of chapter two, probably, but hopefully I can make it work.
StormSpirit: Yep, 2856. I see what you mean about the shoulders - I was trying to do a raised shoulders/tense sort of thing, but it didn't quite work ^^;
I'll do my best to keep the detailed hair and not get lazy.
Burtonator: It says 25th September, actually, although I can see where the confusion came from - the line is supposed to separate the date from the rest of the bar. I might edit that to make it more clear.
