Red Moon Rising is set in a world more than a bit steampunk-esque in nature, filled with intrigue, mystery, and a nice, hefty dose of dry wit. Well…I use the term “dry” loosely. It’s quite rainy in Ashul, the opening location of RMR, and it’s from the beautiful dreariness of that weather that the webcomic gets its first chapter’s title.

The visuals are stunning, and the dedication that Rose Loughran, the creator of Red Moon Rising, has to this artistic endeavor equals that, going above and beyond merely presenting her tale. She takes an active part in her community, answering questions in the comments section of almost every page, occasionally posting up art tutorials, and hosting Livestreams where her fans can watch her work on the next page.

Meanwhile, each of those pages maintain that beautiful quality throughout this well-thought out plot, with a very regular delivery that perseveres through hard drive, laptop, and tablet failures, blue screens of death. With grace and determination, Ms. Loughran one-ups even her story’s heroine it seems.
