They're under the waterfall. Other than the fact that the location isn't clear, I remember having fun coloring this page.

Not a lot to say about this page either.

I promise you that I updated the 21st, but the second I uploaded the next comic and linked it to the last page and then *bloop!* no more internet!
So they're both up.

Please squint really hard or lick your glasses lenses before viewing these pages. I'm not a lazy person but you'd think I was because of my backgrounds. I'm so sorry! (The next chapter won't be much better). It's wicked hard to tell, but they're climbing into the lit fountain in the middle of the park they walked through earlier in the story. There's also a waterfall/cliff thing in the middle. Sorry sorry sorry. -_-

I missed the last update because of my wonky connection issues, so there's 2 new pages today.

As for these pages, sorry that I rushed the background. Initially I meant to draw all the backgrounds by hand and scan them in, but that would have taken forever, so I just did very fast digital paintings of them. Sorry they're so sloppy, but I had a fun time doing the lighting and rain effects for these upcoming pages.

K, the ball is officially rolling and this is the first new page of ST that's shown up for a while. Once again, I'm sorry the art (and even coloring at this point) is so old. As much as I enjoy ST, I want very much to start a new project and use all the things I've learned from this one. Part of me hates to see these old images posted as "new" but I don't think it's fair to the readers for me to not finish up ST.

As for an update schedule, let's go with every other day for now, starting today. I've worked ahead on the pages, but I'm not ready to promise a definite page schedule quite yet.

As for the upcoming chapter 9, I see now that I was a tad too ambitious as far as setting and mood goes. Some things you cannot easily convey to paper, and I've fallen terribly short of my original vision of these next few scenes. Please keep that in mind as you (as I'm sure you will :P) continue to check back for new ST pages.

Lend a hand?

If you come across a dead or broken link, could you please let me know? I'd appreciate it. :)
