Somewhere in here, a while back, I crossed the line over my one-hundreth page. The hundreth page is not yet painted, but it is inked, which makes it almost halfway there. There are another twelve pages in this sequence, which, when finished, will put me well over the mark. There’s a ten-page-or-so scene from midway in there (it fits in around current page 70 or so) that I’m waiting to hear from one of my advisors before I start. There’s also about, oh, thiirty or forty pages left in the current plot, I think. So the book may cap out at a nice, respectable 160 pages, plus some gallery stuff and footnoting, so — maybe about 180 pages total.
*squints*
By golly.
I think that there’s a light, at the end of this long dark tunnel.
Hum.
I think once I get this batch done, I’ll take another art break and scan and letter them. Then, I might just start releasing the earlier pages as a webcomic. We’ll see. It may take longer than that.
