THE COMIC'S SECOND ANNIVERSARY!!

Oh my GOSH!! It's the second anniversary of the original concept of my comic!! It's hard to think that at this time in 2012, I was an eighth grader who drew goofy superhero spoof comics and was sitting at my computer trying to figure out what the heck was this 'steampunk' thing that I'd read about, when suddenly I saw pics of the outfits and machinery and then saw an image of an owl in a monocle, a girl with mechanical wings, a Victorian detective, and men in gas-masks, and suddenly inspiration had struck and I was scribbling away at my notepad trying to piece an idea together - the idea to experiment with steampunk, adding elements of revolution, dystopia, utopia, detectives, magic, and a quest for scientific knowledge. And now, in 2014, I obsess over the idea and it has lead me to researching people who have now become my favourite figures from history - Leonardo Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Ada Lovelace, HP Lovecraft, HG Wells, Mary Shelley, Queen Victoria, Queen Elizabeth I, etc. And even classical works of fiction that I now fangirl over! 
I know I still haven't told you the name, but I'd prefer, for copyright reasons, if it were only known upon the comic's release.
In the mean time, here are some celebratory drawings of my OC's Aralia, Raven Violet, Angel Rose, Cody, Dylan, Elliott, and Hector "Hopper" Leviathan, along with Queen Victoria, Nikola Tesla, Leonardo Da Vinci, Ada Byron of Lovelace, Mary Shelley, and Elizabeth I (behind Mary). I won't tell you who the ghost is behind Nikola - his mere existence would be a spoiler XD
I couldn't fit HG Wells and Howard Lovecraft in, so I placed this sketch near another where they are present, and I used two of my comic pages as a backdrop

Btw, if you want to ask any of my characters something on this ceremonious day, post a question in the comments and I'll get you their response XD

Enjoy!
