Well, apparently this is the best place to put it...
Since Christmas 2012, I've been practicing drawing with the help of Mastering Manga by Mark Crilley, and, though I still need improvement, I've finally gotten started on my own webcomic, Flower Garden 2/3. (The Flower Garden part does have a metaphorical meaning, 2/3 is just a number)
You can see concept art and the first comics (the first arc, basically), and also read some short stories that act as prequels, here:

Once the first arc is complete, I'll be getting an actual website for it, I already have the URL picked out, and I'll probably use Dreamhost to host it.
Cast:Main characters:
Misu Rami: An attractive 18-year old, Misu finds herself targeted by the members of Brother Grimm's cult, particularly the serial killer Emma Evangel, and the sinister dollmaker "Tinker".
Leila Otomo: Misu's closest friend (though Misu will deny it), Leila always projects a cheerful, carefree attitude. It's an act, and she is certainly hiding some severe trauma (expressed by her extreme fear of all males). Sketch of Leila and Misu together:

Nami Korukawa: An energetic, perpetually happy girl with a severely overactive imagination. She is closely attached to Shell, who she idolizes.
Amanda "Shell" Demij: The oldest and most mature of the group, Shell is a neat-freak who keeps the house spotless, and also provides all the meals. If not for her, the girls would probably be eating nothing but takeout and living under a mountain of dust.
Villains:
Brother Grimm: The leader of the cult. Nothing is known about him.
Emma Evangel (Born Emma Stone): The assassin of the cult. Emma hunts down those marked for death by Brother Grimm, and murders them with extreme pleasure.
Damien Stone: A more subtle, but no less vicious, killer.
"The Jabberwock": A spy placed within the police force by Grimm. Identity unknown.
The Tinker:
