Rain
Comic 502 - A Lot of Faces
Author Notes:
She's still internalizing in the last two panels, not hearing a word her friends are saying. Instead, we see her counting the months until prom and realizing it wouldn't be impossible for her dreams to be a reality. Cutting it close in that timeframe perhaps, but still legitimately possible.

Also, I've said this before, but I'm trying to <a href="http://www.gofundme.com/4ql0j4">raise money</a> for SRS, and I'm still struggling with it. If you can help, it would be most welcome. If not, don’t worry about it. I totally understand (you don't need to feel bad or apologize if you can’t).
Is there any news on Rain vol.2? Or is it already out and I just didn't notice?
I know you said you saw it, but for those of you not following along on Facebook, I'll repost:
For a long time, I've been letting myself fall behind. Often drawing pages only a couple days in advance, rather having a healthy buffer like I usually prefer. And because of my lack of a buffer, I've been unable to find a time where I feel comfortable enough to work on <i>Rain - Volume 2</i> content (you know, that thing that I wanted to have out last Autumn). I would start a hiatus to help catch up and then promptly get sick or injured and unable to actually work, thus wasting everyone's time and not making any headway. And then more recently, I've been fighting with on and off depression/anxiety/dysphoria and allowed myself to escape into gaming. A lot. It works well for me, but it does kinda render me pretty unproductive. Having finished Dangan Ronpa (my latest obsession) this past weekend, my available game backlog has dwindled to zilch and... I'm kinda happy. It means I have nothing left to distract me.
Now I can just escape into my work which is favorable. And if I may, going quite well. I've been drawing like a machine for the past two days, and I plan to wrap up Chapter 20's content either tonight or tomorrow (which I believe takes us to the last week of March). After that's done, I'm going to be switching focus entirely to <i>Rain - Volume 2</i>. My goal: to finally get this thing ready THIS MONTH! It won't be easy, and I have a lot of personal art pieces I'd like to do for me apart from this (sorry, "Dangan Rainpa"), but that all goes on hold until the book is out. Everything is on hold until it's out. I might even be less responsive than usual for a while. Please don't take it personally.
It might sound strange, but it's been kind of a while, so it feels good to work so hard. XD
