Linked Cover Proof + Print + A look

My proofs came in!

One's a cover, and one's a print. I've already tested putting them together in an actual book, and they look GOOD.



I'm doing all the printing of the internals at home -- mostly because it's cheaper, and I have far more control over how the tone comes out, because these are half the actual size (seriously, the book's original size is at 8.5 x 11 -- this run is 4.25 x 5.5), and Acrobat slices the images and eats my screentone for breakfast.  And lunch.  And dinner.


I probably could lay out my booklet in Photoshop and take it to Kinkos, but that's a lot of work...


This is JUST chapter 1 -- maybe one day I'll do a run of Chapters 1 - 4, but... getting a quote of that... Holy crap, I'd need to crowdfund or do preorders.  That's like, at least $1500, and I don't know that I have the fanbase for that.


Anyway, the convention I'm going to is next month. Aaaaaaa help I only have a month to get ready and my inkjet printer is on the fritz and I probably need to buy toner for the other one and     

Assuming I have leftovers after the convention (probably will -- I'm not popular on the comics scene here), I may have some up for sale.  But then again, I've only got 25 copies, so I may end up having to do another run. :'D

(Also, I'm sure some of you are like: "Kabocha, I want to support you, but.... I don't have money/What if you run out/Shipping is super expensive to where I live" Guess what -- you can read my comic right here.  If you like it, I do have a commenting feature now!

Alternatively, if you wanna read some good comics, you should check out Ink Drop Cafe~)


...So how are you guys?
