Description I was totally torn about whether or not to wait until the first pages were
up to submit the cover, but... Well, I figured I'd go ahead. Having the
cover up will push me harder to hurry and finish the first update.
Anyways, here it is! It's actually been drawn for one whole year (this
month!) but I just now finished the colors. That wolf has been biding his
time in my journal layout. lol Now he lives on the cover here and as the
placeholder image at valecomic.com ! It's actually coming together, I
can't believe it. There's an official website, so my life is irrevocably bound
to this project now, right?? I'll post in my journal when the first update
goes up!

i really love this!! it's intense but still elegant at the same time. i think it's a great cover... it makes me want to know more about your character and world, that's for sure.

Oh, man, thank you so much! I'm glad to hear that! I was iffy on whether or not I could make a strong cover without there being a solid background. I thought it may come across as awfully boring! I'm happy it's okay like this!

Btw, where do these symbols come from? (in the banner at the bottom) is that an existing language or font? Or did you come up with it? *ignorant*

I made it up! It's got a bit of influence from the illumination of the Lindisfarne Gospels, but less structural and more fluid. I basically made up a bunch of symbols that have significance to me for the story.

Oh man... bravo! Looks really neat and credible, like some ancient language.

Wow that's a.... really ominous website XD
You're almost there Julie, can you believe it? Don't give up! The cover is up, the website is ready, now you can't give up! I'm real proud of you for getting this far, and I'm sure the comic will be great. I can only hope to eventually be able to do the same! In the meantime, I will eagerly await your every update!

HAHA, I know. That wolf is so pissed off. Why can't he hold all his glare? It felt so stupid putting "coming soon", but hey. Anyways, thank you so much, Luk! I'm glad you're here to keep pushing me! x) And you'll definitely do the same! Looking forward to more characters of yours!

It's literally fitting for the "SOON" meme. You could have just put that wolf head in the darkness with "SOON" written, ominous and terrifying XD

It's my pleasure, I'm really happy we get to share this.

rofl Actually, Alan said the exact same thing to me the other day. I'm relatively unfamiliar with that meme, so I felt stupid. lolol

I'd be nervous about starting a webcomic too XD; It's a pretty big deal! I'm sure you'll do fine, though! It seems like you've been preparing this for a good while.
