I started sketching it. Big deal I know, but the circumstances around this chapter have been... pretty bleh to say the least. With the move. The image pack. So much shit getting in the way... but IT'S OFFICIALLY BEING WORKED ON! And I have more news. But you'll both like and potentially be annoyed by it?
I'm kinda training someone to be my colorist. As in if all goes to plan they will do all the colors for MHFAP! under my guidance for pay, meaning I can focus 100% on the writing, composition, sketching and lineart and then just bam, move on to the next page.
The thing is that it might be a few weeks till I deem their coloring is like, truly ready to go for comic level coloring. So while I'll lineart all of chapter 2.3 it might be a bit longer than usual till you get a finished page.
But worry not. If I finish inking all of 2.3 then I will just move straight ahead to Chapter 3 while continuing to train my colorist. So the story is not gonna keep stopping from here- we are just hitting a small snag in the production. But once this snag is ironed out, well, MHFAP! is going to start going faster than its ever been.
Their name is LunarAesthetic btw, and you can see all of their art here. In the attachments I have included all of the coloring tests we've done so far. We'll be working on refining how he colors my lineart for the next few weeks, this is only the start!
