Just a little snippet on how the ink phase is progressing. Pages in this issue are a lot more compressed (in terms of pacing) compared to previous issues, and each page with about 3-4 panels takes about 1-2 hours, while 5 or more ones can go up to 3-4 hours to ink properly. Multiply that by 32 pages and you can imagine how much labor goes into a book, not counting the color and lettering phases.
Pencil phase is basically where you get to make all the mistakes that need to be made, and there's a lot of exploration and discovery going on. Inking phase is a completely different experience, in that you have to fix all those visual mistakes, clean everything up and make it all look better. This is pretty much where it becomes a marathon and a test of endurance.
So here's a quick shout-out to all my supporters, thank you for funding this project and keeping it afloat while I try my best to get these pages out!
