Rather than coloring full manga pages, I've been editing panels to post them as photosets. It's still just as time-consuming for me, though, since cropping and resizing takes me as long as editing and coloring in the first place Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)
I'd initially thought of using only 9 panels for my chap.202 photoset, but as I didn't like how it turned out, I edited some more panels to make another post. Problem was, the panels weren't enough to complete two 9-pic photosets, so I ended up editing a couple more. Since I edit all panels in a single PSD file, I simply kept adding the small image bits... and by the time I finished coloring them, I noticed the random image layout looked better than my own photoset designs Σ( ̄□ ̄;)
See the Ogata pic (literally, the pic of the pic of Ogata's) third row, second column from the left? I like how the dividing lines in the surrounding panels seem to intercept with it, specially the diagonal line starting from the left panel (Sugimoto finding the first of Vasily's Ogata Pics Collection) and continuing into the upper right panel (life-saving miso techniques for close-quarters combat!)
Since my PSD file for chap.202 feels so cluttered, my file for chap.203 (an artistic showdown after a Thursday the 13th close meeting!) looks in comparison sort of... bare, but it's also true that I'm only posting a 9-pic photoset for this chapter and the artistically-driven catharsis of sorts Sugimoto experiences there.
Anyway, I haven't cropped/resized the pics for my chap.202(later half)/chap.203 photosets yet for, err, why yes, the lack of trying and some more determination to deal with those squared little images (||゚Д゚)) but I'll post them over the weekend in any case.
