It's been a few days, but the next page is finally done. The usual delays occurred -- "real life" work deadlines, plus a detailed page that took extra time. We are almost there. I may add one more page — I haven't decided yet. I will not really add anything new, but rather split the last page into 2, since there is a lot going on. But I am not sure if there is enough to split. I am going to do some roughs before trying. This is the last page (or pages) of the entire series, so I want to do it right. And, as someone asked in an earlier post about the extra pages in this issue: no, it will not raise the price! :D
Hang in there! We're getting closer!

Keep up the good work.
With no idea what the last page(s) look like I suggest splitting them, more often then not I find the artwork can be better appreciated that way.
Being a person who also agonizes over single or split-pages, I'd say go for the split page if it is necessary.
From my own experience, split-pages work when they can showcase a scene well, such as one back in H2Grow that to me is still one of the best pages ever of your work.
As you can see by the next post, I decided to keep it as one. I did some sketches and I would have only 2 panels on each page for the last 2 pages. It was too... broken up. The 4 panels worked well together. I would have liked only 3 better, but the last panel wouldn't have worked alone. Thankfully, with the help of Photoshop, I took the original pencil scan, chopped up the panels, resized and repositioned them, and reset the text. I was able to come up with a solution that think works great.
