hope@home INK

inked panel, and cropped image, ultimately making sure the composition works for special round frame (like looking through a porthole) and position on first page

hope at home

there is also the idea of her having a tiny room above an internet cafe somewhere in the middle of La Pacifica, but for this story (and for simplicity) i went with this - she lives on the Iduna, the Midgard Initiative's ship. Shes got her little corner there, her girly stuff, and we find her blogging - providing us with a voiceover that will lead into the story

oh, and she likes panda bears and horsies

;)
