My manga - Lone Wolf

So recently I added a new page called "Lone Wolf" onto my Nav bar on my webstie. Well this would happen to be my manga so far. It's not much right now I think there's only one image just explaining a couple things about the manga but I still gotta few rough sketch outs in my folder to upload. As I don't have the time its very likely I won't be uploading the "professional" looking pages but my rough sketches will have to do for now. Me being me I'm also always changing my mind about stuff and still may be making changes to the story etc. so keep in touch with my site and look forward to the next chapt- ... page ... ¬¬ xD
