Here comes the rain again...


Part of Rose and Isabel's journey takes place during the Overland campaign of 1864, during which there were days and days of incessant rain. It certainly added to the misery of all involved and was a major factor in the way that part of the war was played out. The drawing of this inclement weather has been difficult in its own right. This is a rather dark time in the story, literally and figuratively and to be quite honest has at times put me in a low mood. But I forge on, even though there isn't much room for levity; there will be time for that in another story.

I especially like how your word balloons are gray. It works well with the art, the subject matter AND the mood of the characters. A fantastic detail.
