2012 05 29, 02:33 – Rendered, though I may take another shot at panel six if it doesn’t sit well with me in the morning.
2012 06 16, 00:24 – Pencilled.
2012 06 17, 04:34 – Inking and cleanup complete; flat colors and primary assembly after I sleep.
2012 06 18, 01:15 – Flat colors earlier and initial assembly roughly an hour ago. Had a roughly five and a half hour phone call with my dad for Father’s Day, and I’m feeling pretty exhausted – running my mouth for five hours straight plus Pittsburgh’s traditional clam chowder humidity… whew. Lazy Sunday, ready for shading.
2012 06 18, 16:59 – Critical chores complete, prepared to commence shading.
2012 06 18, 21:02 – Shading complete. Took my sweet time doing it, too. Thank you, soul-sucking humidity! The next page is technically more work, but it should go faster – some of the grind in this case was keeping the lighting on Jason and Greg consistent through the first five panels. Not that big of a deal on the next page, fortunately!
Also, pronouned the dialogue a bit.
2012 06 19, 01:26 – Minor pre-flight adjustments.
01:54 – Final cleanup consisted of flipping a layer group closed and tossing a lingering pen tool path. Reduces cleanly, and the last panel – the important bit! – looks pretty good.
Mastering notes, 2016.12.05 – Made some minor tweaks to dialogue in panel three.
