A Sailor's Life for Me
So Shanku found herself among new faces, sailing to where she had never been before and under the watchful eye of a seafaring doctor.
And that's how I met Doctor Newbury. It's a wonder he did not make me fly back to shore and go home on the spot! But he was kind and curious to a fault.
At first, I did not know what to make of his inquisitive nature. Usually I was the one asking questions! Little did I know how much of a spectacle I would become to those I had yet to meet.
The crew took to me well enough, I suppose. I began to wonder if Mr. Whitten would ever adjust to me!

A Sailor's Life for Me
End Chapter Five! And Volume One. Wow. I almost can't believe the first volume is already up... Thank you to everybody who's been reading and supporting this project so far!
And we're back to the barrels.
Chapter Notes:
Quite a bit of this chapter was rewritten as it was drawn. The original confrontation with the Minocentaur was a lot more aggressive and emotional. The rewrite had everything carried out more subtly. Rhett was also less hostile and close-minded than he was originally written and more to his true personality. (It's odd how sometimes how out-of-character you can get. But, I digress.)
Doctor Newbury also had a last minute costume redesign. Somehow he came out in black robes instead of a three piece suit, but I'm kinda fond of his new look. Even gave him muttonchops. At least the mustache and glasses carried over.
Arc Notes:
Shanku's come a long way since she was a lost cub on the plains. I think I went through about three different coloring and shading styles. I began with pencil, combined Sharpie and pencil in the middle, and ended with pencil.
