Aw, thank you! 🙏 I couldn't do it without copious help from 3D tools and brush assets, but I do work hard to make everything fit my art as naturally as possible, I'm glad the effort shows!

🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

Of course! I love talking shop 💖

All at 600 dpi btw, so pixel dimensions would be whatever that calculates out to

These were the required specs for what was considered the "standard manga size" with the self-publishing printer I originally used, and they were close enough to the specs my pro publisher used that I just kept using them, lol

(Apologies in advance for freedom units)
Canvas size: 5.5" x 8"
Trim size: 5" x 7.5"
Inner border size: 4.5" x 7"
Margins/bleed: 0.25" (so finished dimensions for print-ready pages is 5.25" x 7.75")

I have almost 4 pages penciled 😱 I just had to say something about smaller updates, I love to contradict myself apparently

Crap, I finally forgot alt text for the first time!

Alt text: a photo of an etched glass mug with an Irish coffee cocktail in it, sitting on a messy computer desk.

For real 😭❤️ thanks for all the good vibes! Things should finally start getting better

At my fastest, in my 20s, under a tight deadline with a day job, I could do just shy of a page a day, closer to 2 pages every 3 days. Finishing 2 pages in just over a week is not that, but actually pretty wild still, all things considered

It took me a solid 10 seconds to realize you weren't talking about, you know, actual COOKING terms so like, hide my dust under a rock I guess 💀

I usually just use a home printer, but when that wasn't available I've gone to the library before, especially if you're just trying to keep it cheap and for yourself

Absolutely not, I do that with all my comics 😂

Alyx I still love this piece! The colors are so gorgeous 😭❤️

Hoping you recover quickly! 🙏 Injuries are the worst 😭
