Lost
Oh, it's not quite the end after all. They'll starve in a few days, though.
A little while ago, a reader asked how long a certain page took to draw. At the time I gave a vague answer because I wasn't sure, but more recently I realized that ProCreate automatically keeps statistics on that. So here's the approximate times for the last umpteen pages:
- Page 89 - Calvin & Hobbes parody; 8 panels, flat colour: 19 hours
- Page 90 - Walking at night; 13 panels, white on black: 5 hours
- Page 91 - Cable car; 26 panels, cartoon shading: 32 hours
- Page 92 - Mt. Chimney battle; 83 panels, black and white: 49 hours
- Page 93 - Meteorite; 30 panels, one in colour: 20 hours
- Page 94 - Lavaridge spa; 17 panels, two in colour: 9 hours
- Page 95 - Nolanus vs Flannery; 10 panels, 1 in colour: 7 hours
- Page 96 - Zizzy and Bamboo talking: 15 panels, 1 in colour: 7 hours
- Page 97 - Battle with Hiker; 17 panels, black and white: 6 hours
- Page 98 - Blue night scene; 26 panels, cartoon shading: 30 hours
- Page 99 (A) - Zizzy buys Psychic TM; 24 panels, black and white: 9 hours
- Page 99 (B) - Bamboo learns Psychic; outlines and abstract colouring: 1.5 hours
- Page 100 - Marina's poem; 53 panels, black and white: 25 hours
- Page 101 - Rudy vs Slugma; 44 panels, 1 in colour: 16 hours
- Page 102 - Bamboo vs Torkoal; 35 panels, messy colour: 14 hours
- Page 103 - Talking to Flannery; 15 panels, black and white: 8 hours
- Page 104 - Sandstorm; 26 panels, 1 in colour: 13 hours
- Page 105 - This one; 32 panels, 1 painted, 9 with simple shading: 20 hours
Based on this, my most laborious page by far was the Calvin & Hobbes parody, where I spent about 2h 20m per panel. The next slowest were the two full-colour cartoon pages (91 and 98), about twice as fast at 1h 10m per panel. Everything else was roughly in the range from 20 to 40 minutes per panel. Of course, none of that includes time spent on planning or research.
