grOw/cOmic#6, page 151 completed!

Racing towards the finish line, page 151 of grOw/cOmic#6 ("Milking the Plot") has been completed!  This is the 20th page out of 23 of this issue (Issue 8, "Climax"). That means we only have 3 more pages to go!  We are getting so close to completion!  I hope to finish 2 pages next week (hopefully, as Thursday is a major holiday here in the US, which usually spills over into Friday). Then the final page early the following week.  If so, then my goal is to release this final issue of this series between Nov 30 — Dec 2.  Hang in there!

grOw/cOmic#6, page 150 completed!

Working hard, I just barely finished page 150 today. I wasn't sure if I would be able to do so, due to all the special effects — lighting, liquid, and background compositing. The page came out great! Getting close to the end!  19 pages done, 4 to go! And because of this, as mentioned earlier, previews will be very vague, in order to not reveal the ending.

grOw/cOmic#6, page 149 completed!

No way!  Previews 3 days in a row?!  Why, yes!  I made great progress today, and finished up page 149, which not only is the third preview in so many days, but the 4th preview this week! Whoot!  And just because a page takes less time, doesn't mean it's a boring page. Oh, no. Hot and heavy action going on here!  Let's hope the next 2 weeks go just as well!  Countdown to release — 18 pages done, 5 to go!

grOw/cOmic#6, page 148 completed!

Made some great progress today, finishing page 148 the day after the last page. The last page was completed mid-day, yesterday, which gave me a lot of time to work on this one. Less faces and special effects were required for this page, and thus, I was able to complete it today. 17 pages done, 6 to go!

grOw/cOmic#6, page 147 completed!

Still working away at a good clip with few slow-downs, I was able to complete page 147 this early afternoon. Background renderings have gone a lot quicker recently, as more and more of the frames are filled with skin rather than barn. ;)  The previews will be getting more and more vague as we enter the final 7 pages of not just this issue, but of this 8-issue, 154-page series. I don't want to give away too much of the ending.

grOw/cOmic#6, page 146 completed!

I had actually hoped that I could have finished page 146 this past Friday.  The page was simple enough to do so (especially since I had gotten a great head start on it on Thursday after completing page 145). However, I hadn't taken into account the incredible amount of work to produce the "special effects" (namely certain liquid effects) that were required on this page. In fact, I think the top panel of this page contains the most intense usage of liquid effects EVER in the grOw series, and I am extremely pleased on how it turned out. 15 pages done, 8 to go! (65% complete!)

grOw/cOmic#6, page 145 completed!

Well, the latest page took a tad longer than usual (a couple of morning hours on the third day). Page 145 had a number of special effects (lots of liquids, blur effects, and combining 3D-rendered background items and hand-drawn characters. 14 down, 9 to go! The good thing is that with the completion of this page so early in the day, I will get a great start on the next page in the same day.
