Progress!
🕑 Added 2018-08-05 00:19:58 +0000 UTC Okay! Chapter 1 is ready to send off to the Color Tech at Hiveworks. I'm really nervous - I hope I did everything right. I'm really happy with all the corrections; they've been bothering me for so long that it's nice to look at pages without any of those mistakes in them any more!Formatting pages is going great, too! I've hit a new phase of old pages where the Word Balloons are finally on their own layers and not part of the artwork, but I have to re-type all of the dialogue because, for some reason, they've been flattened into pixels instead of editable text. Retyping is a heckuva lot easier than isolating the word balloons, though, so I'm hoping things steadily get faster and faster!
[EDIT: 08-17-18] I haven't heard back from the Color Tech yet, but it sounds like things on their end are EXTREMELY BUSY at the moment, and I want the pages/this work to get the time and attention it deserves, so I'm trying to give them their space.
I'm holding off on formatting any more pages until I hear their feedback because if there's something I've been doing incorrectly, I don't want to redo a bunch of work. 13 pages is a lot less work than the potential 50 or 100 I work ahead on.
I'll give them another nudge at the beginning of next week and let you know if there's any big news, but at this point I breathing down and looming over the starting line and waiting for the go-ahead to get the rest of these done. It means a lot of really cool Before & After things I can show you!

Hey, what nice eyes you have!! The dots mean that I wasn't able to isolate the Word Balloons from the Artwork itself, and I'm leaving them as is to see what the Color Tech says, and whether or not I can leave them all as one layer. The -A means that the file formatting is done, but the artwork is awaiting some corrections before it can all be merged down into one single layer.

I'm curious. What do the dots mean and what's the -A mean on the left sheet?
Checking things off is the best. Congrats on everything u got done!
