The beach-trip issue commences!

Please enjoy this view without the inset panels:

This is the sixth double-page spread in SuperButch. It takes up two 11x14 sheets of paper with some overlap in the middle. I was really careful about making sure the lines and ink wash matched from page to page because it can be a pain to fix if they don't. On pages 166-167, the firehouse and sidewalk don't quite line up. I had to go back and add some trim and digitally lighten some ink wash to match the brickwork from one page to the next. I was feeling much better about this spread. Then the first time I scanned the pages, the right-hand page came out noticeably darker.

At Naomi's suggestion, I re-scanned the pages using the "dear scanner, please don't adjust anything even if you're trying to help" setting. That worked much better, and with a few Photoshop fixes, it looked pretty seamless!

Thanks again for supporting me on Patreon! It feels weird not to mention the election in this post, but I don't have any words to add to the grief and anger and worry and commiseration and support and advice that's already on the internet. I hope you find what you need this week, online or in person.
