Shadowlark Chapter One Thumbnails (Patreon)

First Pass at thumbnails for Chapter One. Generally I try to get as close to 20 pages per chapter as I can, with a minimum of 16. 18 feels a little small considering how much set up is going to happen in the first chapter (already it feels like it might be a bit rushed or cramped). I considered doing a revision of the script, but there is a lot of stuff I feel is necessary to introduce off the bat for the first story arc to make sense and not feel thrown together-
Basically the protagonist (Eve) is established; the two major factions are set up (Wolfe's gang and Iron Ribbon), and Belbei (Sakura) is introduced at the end (Inciting incident).
Because Belbei takes a huge role as the catalyst for the storyarc I felt introducing her at the end of the chapter was important enough to justify three points of view in a single chapter - even if it makes things feel a little cluttered.
