Feroz, I can’t say for sure how long it took, since I tend to work in fits and spurts in between freelance (IE paying) work, and I’ll usually pencil the entire issue, then ink the whole thing, and then color. So the time is pretty spread out. I will say that it actually didn’t take as long as I thought it would. Even though it’s a lot of stuff to draw, it’s really only 5 panels total. Usually, over two pages, I’d be doing 8-12 panels, so it was actually less work in that regard. It may seem weird to think of it that way, but normally in 8-12 panels, I’d be drawing a lot of the characters multiple times. So in this case, I didn’t have to draw the characters that many times at least.

Obviously, the yak took a bit of time, but they’re all pretty tiny, so I could be a bit loose with them, which helped speed things up.

How much time did it take to complete?
