This page took me forever to tone because of that hair... sob. Anyway, I've been using this page as a sample for progress so here's the toned version! 

Sketch and inked versions are here for comparison.

These next few pages are the All The Feels pages... so ;3; need to make them look good.

Crisis Averted!!!!

I did a test print of the ZETSUBOUSHITAAAA title page... and it looks okay! I will leave it then. XD; I don't have enough time to redraw it... sob.

Oops sorry for all these doujin babbles. hehe Today should be the last day of sleep deprived doujin babble. XD;

I got 2.5 hours of sleep last night but I think I just got out of a sleep cycle when I woke up so I felt really refreshed lol (or I never went into deep sleep!). Going to tone during my lunch break... XD Thankfully toning requires very little brainpower. XD

I AM NEVER DRINKING DOING THIS AGAIN. I am so getting liquored up this weekend...

Hopefully I get a good quote from the other printer. Can't make it for this project but up for consideration for other ones! :) Looks like it has the standard comic book size that Lulu also has soooo have to see how much custom sizing of A5 ups the cost! Might end up switching my future comic template if NA comic book size is more cost effective. SIGH why doesn't NA follow international standards?! U_U A5 and B5 would be nice!

One more daaaaaaaaaaaay *______*;;;;;;;;;;;;;; My boss is really nice. She checks in on how my sleep deprived ass is doing every morning. haha I can't show my coworkers the comic but I showed one of my coworkers my artist talk test print. lolol XD; Everything else is too BL... U_U One day I'll draw a comic that I can show them. I just, I'm not ready to let work life know about my fangirl life. lol It'd be different if this was a geeky/young company though. :X

Tomorrow is my last day! aaaahhh

I finished drawing everythingggg including Mubyou stuff. I screwed myself over with the title page for One Night... It was a very ZETSUBOUSHITAAAA moment. I'll...have to see if it's salvageable. haha...

Started toning. 4 pages in 2 hours... D: I'm so slow. I think I'll get faster though. I am still wide awake but my vision is starting to get crappy. XD I think I should just go sleep since I have work + more toning tomorrow. I need to remember to use the fill tool more.

Sanada is so blushy in this. LOL I didn't even notice it until now when I'm looking through the inked pages... XD; He just keeps finding himself in embarrassing situations. Sigh my preference for tsunderes is showing. XD;;; Sanada is a manly tsundere though. ^______^ He mans up when it matters. ho ho ho  

I'm going to do a print test at work tomorrow because I have a bad feeling that 300dpi lineart will be pixel-y. I hope I am just being paranoid... EITHER WAY, I am sticking to web comics from now on!!!! My bucket list will be fulfilled with this book. ;3; sob

I finished inking One Night Stay!!!! aaaaahhhhhh

Next up is QC One Night Stay (gotta fix quite a few things lol) and then redo panels for Mubyou so it'll be the new 2012 version. *w*;;;;

THEN I TONE/SHADE.

I pushed printing back to Thursday...so I should be okay. Tomorrow is QC/redraw/tone. Wednesday is tone/typeset. Thursday stitch it all together into one PDF at work, and send it off! Tomorrow will be a little crazy lol... same with Wednesday. I will abuse the Lasso + Fill tools. I will also guzzle coffee like it's water.

Hopefully I find time tomorrow to ink the title page hahahaha >_>;;;;;
