Here it is, the shaded page 27. I have 2 other inked pages scanned that I will be uploading over the next couple of weeks. It’s been forever but Chapter 1 is almost complete! I have completed my move from Japan back to the States (sorta) but I have ideas and we’ll let this roll!
For reference, the most common question is “how much does running a webcomic cost?”
Here’s how this stacks up for me:
Adobe Creative Cloud – $300 a year.
Deleter comic board for my comics -$12 for a stack of 40.
Computer: Razer Blade Pro 2015 – $2500.
Tablet: Wacom Intuos 4 – $200.
Webhosting: Dream Host $280 a year. $13 for domain registration. (Salient is graciously hosted by Starship Moonhawk, Mike Prokop but the other comics are not).
Pens: Misc- Uniball, deleter ink dip pens – $12, deleter opaque white ink – $8.
Eraser: Misc pinkie and plastic erasers. $4.
Pencils: Mechanical $2.
Scanner: Epson WF-3540 – $100 (?).
Light board… $30-100 I have 2 but I don’t remember the brands. One was a present from my buddy. =)
I commissioned those pages from Zairyo and his rate was $30 a page.
So webcomics can be expensive. There are free webhosts available but it can be a pain to get the comics down later on.
