Well, that's a first for me, I finished a comic cover before I finished the pages. :P You now know the title of the next story before I released it. The pages will be coming after this, once I finish the lettering (which is hopefully soon, this comic is kind of a short one).

I decided to stray away from doing MS Paint greyscale tones and go full on color for the comic cover; do you guys like it? I'll be coloring the covers for the comics "Calamus Est", "Mirrored Memory", and "Sonderengel" and uploading them later. "Deviancy" is undergoing a rewrite and redraw, so that cover is going to be done later ("The Break of Dawn" I decided to make non-canon to Nib's story, as I'm kind of waiting to see what becomes of Gaster in Deltarune, so that cover won't be colored).

Coloring done with Marvy Uchida LePlume alcohol markers.

For those who have been following this blog for a longer period of time, you probably already know that I used to do B&W screentone covers. I decided to bite the bullet and do colored covers. Here’s the colored version of the “Sonderengel” cover (featuring Keyttaton by @celestial-weiner-dog and Lockaton by @lunarian-lucas [deactivated] in their angelic forms). 

Speaking of “Sonderengel”, I did some re-inking of the pages so that they have backgrounds now. Here’s a sample of old vs new pages. 

I’m not planning to upload the re-inked pages here on Tumblr, so if you want to re-read “Sonderengel” with more inky goodness, you can check it out on ComicFury (nib-mettaton.webcomic.ws)

Greyscale cover for the recent “Sonderengel” story comic I uploaded. In case you missed it or if you want to reread it, all pages of the comic can be found here:

Pages 1 to 6

Pages 7 to 12

Pages 13 to 17

Don’t mind me, that comic directory page I had looked boring, so I wanted to spice it up a bit by adding covers to the stories I do. This cover is for the “Calamus Est” story (the one I did a while ago that was inspired by the mtt-world comic by lunarian-lucas).

Also, I wanted to see if using Microsoft Paint greyscale tones would work out better for my comics. (If you change the properties of an image in Microsoft Paint from color to black-and-white, the interface switches the color palette into pixelated greyscale tones that look similar to manga tones). They work out okay (Tumblr dashboard does not do the image justice here!), but it’s so time-consuming to “color” a single page that I’m probably going to stick to doing images in pure black-and-white and do greyscale for covers only.
