We'll be wrapping up our adventure with Rongo very soon.
What will come next? We'll be changing things up a bit for how I make Lusty!

At the moment, each page takes me about 16 hours or more to produce, which is really high for a comic made by one person!
Here's my options as I see them:
I could stop doing the comic, and do more single page illustrations with Lusty (and other characters) in various situations. We'd get to meet new characters more often! There might be 2 to 4 of these per month, depending on how busy I get with other art.
OR
I could keep doing a comic, but do it in black and white (maybe with a colour filter over it?). That would drastically reduce the time spent on each page - meaning the comic will come out faster, and we'll have more pages done every month. I haven't done black and white comics in a long time, so I'm not sure exactly how fast it will be! But we'll figure that out as we go.

Which option do you think is best?
Let me know! :>
