GC#4, page 112 completed! Final page of the series!

It took a little longer than expected, mostly due to last minute deadlines in "RL" work, but the final page — for both this issue and the entire series — of grOw/cOmic#4 has been completed! All that is left to do is the completion of proofreading and subsequent corrections (which is already well underway), the final production of the PDF, and the setting up of the store and its graphics.

In addition, I am also working hard on something "special" for those who are really into the Art of the whole series. Details on this to come at release time.

The next update here should be about the release of issue 6, which is titled "A Sex-perience of a lifetime."  Watch for it between tomorrow and Friday! In the meanwhile, enjoy the final preview of the series. Sorry it's so vague, but you know that I can't give too much away!

GC#4, page 111 completed! 1 more page to go!

It took longer than expected, being more detailed than I originally thought, and being delayed due to unexpected "real life" work popping up, but page 111 is now complete! I only have one more page to go before the issue, and the series, comes to an end!  There is still more work to be done — such as proofreading, making changes to errors, setting-up the store, etc. — so, I won't be able to release the issue by this weekened. However, I am sure I will be able to do so somewhere between early and middle of next week.  Hang tough!  We're almost there!

GC#4, page 110 completed!

I am still making good progress -- though not quite as quickly as the last few pages -- with the completion of page 110. This page had a few of the "4Fs", but not too many that it took too long. We only have 2 more pages to go, folks! The end of the series is near!

CG#4, Page 109 completed! Holy proliferation, Batman!

I am still making excellent progress finishing up the issue, with the completion of a third page in as many days.  Page 109 brings us one more step closer to the release of issue 6, "A Sex-perience of a lifetime." Moving forward from here, the next couple of pages won't be done as fast as the last three, as they have more detail. Also, the next page needs some reworking, as I have been liking it less and less. In fact, I will be redrawing some of it before I begin ink and paint. Only 3 more pages to go!  Hang in there!

GC#4, page 108 completed!

Yes, in 1 day, I was able to complete another page!  Page 108 was not as time-consuming as the last few. Plus, I had gotten all my "real life" work done yesterday that was due, giving me more time to work on a grOw page today. PLUS, it's my birthday, and I wanted to work on something I really liked!  <|:D  Enjoy the preview — only 4 pages to go!

GC#4, page 107 complete! Issue 75% done!

Now that page 107 is completed, I can truely say that the issue is 75% finished, with only 5 pages to go.  I did a little math error on my earlier post, claiming that preview was the 75% mark when I still had 1 more to go. The issue will end on page 112.  I got a little over excited, I guess.  :)  Enjoy the 3/4 mark preview!

GC#4, page 106 completed!

Whew!  Now that was a page that took a lot of work!  Filled with the big 4 F's, page 106 took almost a week to complete (that, and a few "RL" work delays). And, on top of all of those 4 F's, there was plenty of detail. Getting the backgrounds to match the angles took some work as well; but knowing the angles I wanted before hand, I made sure to render the background first, and then draw the figures on top of them.  Enjoy the preview!

CG#4, page 105 completed!

Yep, yet another page containing the 4 "F's" (faces, figures, frames, and fx), page 105 took a few extra days to complete.  The next page will also take some time, since it, too, has a decent amount of the 4 "F's". However, we are about 2/3 of the way through the issue with 13 pages currently done, and only 7 to go!  Enjoy the preview!

[Edit: the original title of this post was incorrect. This is for page 105, and not 106. I guess I got too excited!  ;D ]

GC#4, page 104 completed!

Whew — just before the weekend, I was finally able to finish page 104. A number of factors contributed to the long pause between updates — page complexity, "RL" work, and troubles with my site.

The page was another one containing the big 4 "F's" which take more time — faces, figures, frames, and fx.  A few dramatic angles in some of the frames also made marrying up the background that much more difficult.

"RL work" caused a small pause, though nothing that will seriously delay future updates and the issue (at the time of this writing).

The biggest concern, causing possible delays, is the credit card issue with my site, which is STILL on-going with my Host.  "I ain't none too happy, pappy!" I am still looking around for a new site/Host option, even if they fix this soon.  I hope they do correct it quickly, so that I can take more time looking. Either way, I want to move over to a new option that will allow me to "modernize" my site and have less problems.

In the meanwhile, enjoy the preview!  I am also including an updated "Progress Map" of the issue so you can see where I am in completing the final chapter.

Happy Independence Day!

GC#4, page 103 completed!

Page 103 took a little longer than the other pages so far in this issue, but that was because it was quite the detailed page, with a decent number of the 4 "F's" — frames, faces, figures and "fx" (special effects). The more of each these items there are, the more time it takes to complete a page, as they can be labor intensive. In addition, the backgrounds took some time to marry up to the figures properly; some being very detailed, themselves. The previews may be becoming more and more vague as we start the countdown to the last 9 pages of the entire 112-page series. I wouldn't want to give anything away. Enjoy the preview!

GC#4, page 102 completed! 50% Mark!

With the completion of page 102, we are now at the 50% mark in issue 6 — 10 pages down, 10 pages to go!  I am still making good progress, especially considering the effects involved over the last few pages. I may have a little slow down next week, as more "RL" work is hinting at popping up, but I think I will stillcontinue to make good headway over all in completing this issue. Enjoy the preview!

GC#4, page 101 completed!

I had to work extra late today to get this page finished before the weekend. Filled with a lot of detail and special effects (blurs, motion, depth of field, liquids, etc.), page 101 proved to be a heavy work load!

I was also delayed a little as I have been trying to do research on a new Host/eCommerce solution. If anyone has a possible suggestion (one that they kind of know, and not just Googling a random place), drop me an email at ba@bustartist.com.

GC#4, page 100 completed!

We've reached the triple digits in pages, with the completion of page 100. Still plenty of detail to work on, but I am continuing to hold a good pace!

Now, if only my Host can get it's act together and fix my store, especially before this issue comes to release time, we'll be in good shape. (Credit cards are not yet going through; however, PayPal is most of time [try again in a few minutes, if you get an error].) Over 3 weeks now with this issue — I'm ready to start looking into a new site. :P

GC#4, page 99 completed!

Still chugging along, I just finished page 99 in the latest issue. This was another detail-laden page, which took extra time, but I was still able to hold to my current 2-days per page standard pace. Now, it's on to page 100 — which, interestingly, was the original last page of the series, until I extended the story/issues here and there. The series is now set to end on page 112! Enjoy the preview.

GC#4, page 98 completed!

Cruising right along, I was just able to finish page 98 today. I wasn't sure if I would, as it is a detailed page, to say the least, with multiple panels, numerous faces (which take more time), overlapping figures and plenty of post-production effects. No time to loose! It's on to page 99 !

GC#4, page 97 completed!

Working is progressing fairly well, and with another 2 weekdays passed since the last update, I have completed page 97 of grOw/cOmic#4. This page took a little extra work, mainly due to the layering of, and interaction of, certain body parts. ;) It takes a little extra "sculpting" when this happens, as well as extra time to select each overlapping area before applying the shading and lighting. And, with this page completed, we've hit the 25% mark in the new issue!

GC#4, page 96 completed!

My return to work on issue 6 has, so far, had good, quick results. Page 96 has just been completed, and I am already starting on the next page. Hopefully, I will make good progress in the next week or two to make up for the temporary halt in production of the newest installment. Enjoy the preview!

GC#4: production revving up again.

I am back, and having taken a day and a half to catch-up on things put on hold, I have begun working on grOw/cOmic#4, issue 6 once again. I will post of the next page preview once completed, which is now about 1/3 done. Thanks, again, to everyone who posted their kind comments.

Also, currently there is a problem at my site with Credit Cards. My Host's IT is looking into it. You may receive a "General Error" for Credit Card purchases right now. I will post a message here when this has been cleared up. PayPal is still working. It does, however, have the occasional hick-up. If so, just reorder again in a few minutes, as the original order never went through.

GC#4, page 95 completed. Delays ahead.

Finally, I was able to complete page 95, a page with enough detail to keep me busy, but also one that was fraught with delays — both with "real life work" as well as "real life". It is the later that affected progress the most and will continue to do so, for the next week, two, or more.

Unfortunately, this delay is unknown in length. My Dad is dying — he may only have 2 hours, or 2 weeks, left. We fear it will be sooner than later. Only time will tell. Edit: my Dad has passed away, and I will be traveling out of state very soon. You may not see any updates here for at least a week.

Work may continue during this time; if for no other reason, to keep me busy and my mind distracted. Or, I may not have time for any.

Once this has all run its course, the production of the last issue of grOw/cOmic#4 will continue.
