Alright...so that's the end! A few notes now that we're here.

1. I'm still not totally happy with the story. It was an idea I had right at the beginning, and I was having a hard time making it work. I should have just scrapped it and started over, but there were some aspects that I was really attached to, and I held onto it. Lesson learned. If this was a full comic, I think I could have done something more like what I had originally envisioned, but it wasn't...so, yes. I reiterate, lesson learned.

2. Drawn in pencil, inked with micron pens, coloured in photoshop CS4 with wacom tablet, letters done Illustrator CS4.

3. Time taken:
Pencils: (this one is really a guess because I kinda just did it whenever I had a spare hour or two) 30-35 hours.
Inks: 8-12 hours
Colours: 45-50 hours
Lettering: ~5 hours (Nine actually, because I'm a dummy and didn't save my Illustrator files while working on them and Illustrator never crashes...and then it crashed after four hours of work. Bah.)

I think that's all. Thanks for reading!

i totally know what you mean about getting way too emotionally invested in something that turns out to be not as planned. sometimes i'll have spent so long on something that i don't have the heart to start again or approach it from a different way, even if i know it would greatly improve the piece if i did. :no: losing all the data on my last laptop (at least temporarily) actually did me some good because it gave e an excuse to start over on the pictures i had been hemming an hawing at already. :nod:

but i think this comic did turn out really well, no matter what you think ;P the characters were cool, the situation was intruiging, the layouts flowed very nicely, nd the art was lovely :nod: downright gorgeous in many places :D with all the pencillling, inking, AND coloring, you can tell a lot of love and time went into it :3
