Version 5! This version was online for a little while, before I switched it off.

There was one page before this, but I lost it. It was exactly the same as the one starting current version. This was toned in paint shop pro. She's supposed to be in a morgue but it's hard to tell.

Title page on cheap paper not meant for watercolors!.

A house. Houses have never been my strongpoint. It looks sorta decent though.

I kinda always liked this page. This is the only page I felt really bad removing. Oh, well. Maybe I'll put it in version 7. (I'm kidding)

Well Maria looks like a monkey. And the backgrounds are weird but at least I'm putting effort into them.

Jake's jaw structure is off, and I think Maria's skirt magically grows and shrinks from page to page. Jake and Maria's relationship has finally evolved from one way crush to requited friendship. I like them this way best.

Maria's neck makes her look like a parchessi piece or something.

Foreshortening on arms is off, but I'm getting somewhere!

No, they weren't about to kiss.

Well it sorta looks almost like the trio is walking.

Guh, this page embarasses the hell out of me! Guess I'm not good at kissy face scenes.

For some reason that girl's always eating. Dunno why.

What is with those stars? For goodness sakes they're tacky!

Somehow in the story Maria was mislabeled as a "boyfriend stealer." It was a dumb plot point.

Haley's eyes look so dead. Another tip for wannabe artists, jump on deviantart or something and draw just the eyes from various (quality) pictures, especially ones showing emotion like fury, sadness, ect.

Uhh, Katie looks like a frog.

yup

These two pages were originally one page, but I was told they were too confusing to read together, so I cut them up.

Wow, that's a pretty decent background. It took me a long time.

Can't draw cluttered rooms. And that wood floor... ugh!

Maria's facial structure was all wrong in this page and it drove me nuts! And the girl in the painting's head is too big. (Yes, she is Margret.)

Looking at this page again, I think only the left three panels were necessary. It was weird drawing the angle of someone looking down their leg.

Last page, and a weird one. After this page I stopped using toning and tried to use as little digital editing as possible. (still use it for speech bubbles and touch ups, though)
