Angora Napkin: Graphic Novel Update

As of right now I am half done adding the spot colour to the book. I started on January 17th, so that's clocking me in at about 1 and 1/4 pages a day. At this rate I should be finished around mid to late April.

By the end of this month it will have been 2 years since I started this project.

I have yet to collect and scan all the additional artwork, miscellaneous comics and draw the cover so it looks like I've still got a bit of work to do before I throw a wrap party for myself.

*sigh*
