It is done.
i feel... much lighter
There's still so much work to do, but the bulk of it is done. The remaining weeks of update previews are going to be spent double checking everything (fun), and... MAKING THE COVER (that's ACTUALLY fun).
For now... I'm... exhausted, but there's still the page to do for next Tuesday, which will be the last update...

OKAY SO following y'alls feedback on the last post, I've given the text more room to breathe from each other so they're a bit more legible, and added a bit of a dark backdrop which WORKS REALLY WELL AESTHETICALLY holy cow.
Thank you guys so much - your help helped make this page better than it was before. This is why I like to involve a lot of pe...

Unfortunately, no version of these pages exist where the tattoos layer and the skin layer are unmerged, which means I have to go through and Photoshop out all of them by hand. This means we're getting a lot of

Hey Buds, be a new set of eyes for me real quick: I updated the Lettering on this page (here is the original for reference) and I wanna know how it reads.
Does it make sense?
Does it have more impact?
Can you read the jumbled bits of d...

Ch5 Edits Underway
I had a little bit of time to kill today waiting for a meeting, so I got a little bit of a head start on the edits for Chapter 5 of next week.
The good news is that the edits are really easy and straightforward, like redrawing word balloons and adding small effects here and there.
The bad news is that most of the edits are shockingly boring an...

one of the benefits of going back through old pages is that you rediscover what the secret meanings of specific things are that you've forgotten

BLEEDS: COMPLETE
...and the last page was, appropriately, this one. I still have to double check all my work to make sure I didn't miss any, but it feels pretty good, man.
ONE PHASE LEFT, and that's corrections. That's the FUN stuff.

...just to let y'all know where I'm at.
Bleeds are coming along... like, really fast. Chapters 1, 2, 3, 7, and the Epilogue have all had their bleeds handled and checked off the list, which means that three Chapters (4, 5, and 6) are left. That's nothing!

Page Formatting Status: the end is in sight
HOT DANG.
After formatting, bleeds will be next. See those little circles next to the check boxes? Those indicate which pages have Bleeds that need to be corrected.
Correcting Bleeds is similar to Formatting, in that they are just as tedious and will take about the same amount of time to complete. But! There are way less of them. ...

Here's what you can get done when you allow yourself to focus on ~one~ thing.
After deciding to step away from the drafting table last week, I was able to actually take care of the things that were causing me the most stress... and surprisingly, that revealed itself to be Kickstarter Page Prep.
Filler will go up on the site this week - I'm sorry only the one page was up for the duration of last week; I was

one of the small pleasures of going through past files are all the things you forgot you deleted from the final page
This is from Chapter 3, Page 31.

Instead of working on a new comic today (though I will be uploading some filler later - people actually did stuff on Halloween??? that was DotL related???), I am determinedly throwing myself back into page formatting for the Kickstarter.
