I finished this page some time ago and was originally hoping to post it together with subsequent pages, but those subsequent pages never emerged.
At the moment I'm somewhat uncertain if I want to continue with this project. The story is great, but looking at the pages I've drawn thus far, my graphic skills simply aren't good enough to honour the story; the story deserves to be drawn by someone better than me. Plus if I keep doing one page every two months or so, it will take me years or even decades to draw out the whole thing.
I will probably think differently in a few days. But as things stand, this might be the (extremely anticlimactic) last page of Taking Islands.
