Did some more work on Ellie this week, finished coloring page 5. On one hand it feels like incredibly slow progress - i'm averaging about a page a week thus far in the coloring, and this doesn't even count writing/laying out/drawing the page. On the other hand, I am getting pages done, and building a decent buffer for when I'm ready to continue. My current completion levels, then, are:

Pages laid out: 11
Pages Inked: 8
Pages colored: 5

My plan is, again, to start publicly posting the comic once I'm 8 colored pages ahead, and to work in 8 page sections through to the completion of the book. Each page will yield about a little more than a week's worth of updates, so that gives me about 10 weeks to finish the next 8 pages. I'm looking to start posting the comic in mid-July, right before I leave for San Diego Comicon. I'll keep you all posted on updates until then, and will also let you know when I'm ready to open up the Ellieconnelly.com site, which will probably happen a few days before I start posting the comics.
