All pages are FINALLY inked and there are even a couple of finished* pages!! The (digital) inking process has by far taken the longest out of all the stages of chapter creation so the finishing process of laying down fills and shadows in grayscale should be much quicker from here on. It’s been a long journey of learning and experimenting with a bunch of new things along the way, redoing certain panels here and there, going back through a bunch of pages after super late realizations of mistakes, getting sick way too many times throughout, etc. It wasn’t til like over 80% of the inking process that I actually thought to revisit vector layers in CSP and realizing that they work very well with the G-Pen I use; years ago when I first tried out vector layers I was doing lines with a soft brush and saw that the strokes were coming out jagged and weird and proceeded to then ignore the feature for years on end 💀 Pretty funny in retrospect when considering that I did end up switching to G-Pen for lines not very long after and didn’t think to try it with vector layers until this year lol
I think there’s still a shot of the chapter being finished within the calendar summer season, but only time will tell (cue future me looking at this post way into autumn and shaking my head at myself lmao). Thanks to everyone sticking with me thus far and giving my original comic a chance!!
