First cover done in the style of the comic AND first actually featuring a character. About time, haha.

I neglected to schedule WIP posts the past while so here are some raw scans of select pages for folks who are interested about the process. You can see how some panels have pencilled annotations in the gutters, just little reminders about what goes where so I don't have to constantly refer to my thumbnails and script. You can also see my dummy mistake in page 33 where I put a lock of hair right across momma's eyes. Very glad I have the ability to fix mistakes like that digitally.

How much black ink does it take to make this?

Opik Oort Expansion Comics

Somwhere around 45mL (1.5 fluid ounces / bottle and a half) of Dr Ph Martin's Bombay Black india ink for the lines. For fills with the brush I got a huge bottle of Speedball india ink and there isn't that much taken our of it. The ink goes far, which is good since the Ph Martin's is hard for me to get.

should say these are for the entire series so far. I've also gone through a jillion HB pencils and black markers for panel lines. Markers just really don't last
