Wow...

I am beginning to think that there may actually be a life in which I am not drawing Project Blue Rose. One page left to ink. Then tones and lettering, and off to the printers! Woo!

Welcome to manga creation twilight zone, kiss your regular existence goodbye...

I'm already starting to think of the next project. No idea what project it is, but I'm starting to think about doing one. Hrm.

I think my last 10 pages are so are worlds above the others. I haven't gone back to check, because I'll just be disappointed that they really aren't as obviously good as I think they are and I want to keep my happy I've-improved feeling for a little bit longer. But the process has been smoother and easier.

I feel that too. The horrible thing is, now I have to consider whether to re-do some of my crappy earlier pages so that the manga is more uniform. Ehhrrgh.

:D Let your editor or a trusted beta reader have a look at them and see if they're enough different that it's jarring. You can probably see more differences than anyone else can. And you may only have to redo just the worst bits here and there instead of whole pages, if they think so. :)

It was a pleasant surprise, too. I thought there were 57 pages total, and when I opened up the pencils of 56 and 57 to check ... same page. And I went back to my script to check, and yup: 56. I have no idea why I managed to duplicate 56 and name it 57, but I'm happy because ... one page left! Four panels! Wooooo!

You'll wake up tomorrow and this will all be a dream. Mwahahahaa!

Well done on almost finishing your project, you have far more patience then I'll ever have :)

She says nonchalantly like it will only take a couple hours.
;p

I'm impressed you've done such a long comic! OMG! did I ever pay you for a copy? I remember logging into paypal but I don't remember actually doing that?

I have an optomistic hope that it will only take this weekend, but deep in my heart of hearts I know it will be longer. I just don't allow myself to think that. :D

Hell, *I'm* impressed I've done such a long comic. :D I have no idea if you've paid me or not - [livejournal.com profile] rachelmanija's keeping the master list right now, and there's a few more people sitting in my inbox that I haven't sent on to her.

If it gets picked up, you may never again have a life in which you are not drawing Project Blue Rose. I am already contemplating what might happen next in the series...

Remember: think naked in a featureless white sphere.
