Ok I might be exaggerating a little, but I'm on page 8 and that's about half, I think.  It's going very well I'm getting a lot faster, mostly because I've been working on 9 x 12 Sheets which has doubled my speed.  I actually made it into a teaser that I'm going to sell at this Art Show on 12/3.  This is probably the most difficult thing I've actually finished in my life.  Not only was it a lot of work just drawing 8 pages, but actually formatting it to be printed is no easy task.  Have you ever heard of collating pages, it took me about 30minutes to figure out how to do it with 8 pages and then to figure out how to make a multiple page pdf in Adobe Indesign.  So much stress, but it was worth it, I feel so good I've actually completed it and I've learned so much.  I'm going to celebrate this weekend, but after that its back on to the comic hopefully It's totally finished and on the shelves sometime in January 2012.
I finished laying out my comic pages, Im going to start the official pages within the week.  For WRECK the comic I've been using professional size 11" by 17" paper.   But I went to Dragon Con recently and I saw a great artist who worked on 8.5 by 11 sheets of paper and it looked amazing.   I think I could work so much faster if I worked on smaller paper, at least starting out, until I'm able to do comics full time.  What do you guys think?
