Description
Well, I'm trying a new method of coloring with this issue. The finished product doesn't really look different at all, but the process is way different than what I'm used to doing. In fact, this new method (which I'm being taught in my digital coloring class) shaved off probably close to 2 hours worth of coloring on this page!That, and I'm also going to start coloring in CMYK. I can't quite get the bright brights in that mode, but... oh well. I'm sure you won't notice Jarv- Miles' speech bubbles not being #00ff00.
Aand... uhm... well, if you want a looksie at the temporary cover, it's over at smackjeeves currently serving its purpose as a placeholder.
(So no one from here's going to NYAF?)

The incentive: As the story progresses, I'll be uploading bonus material there that won't really fit on dA.

I've always said that all guys look cute when they're sleeping... that obviously extends to Cybertronian guys as well. 
Hooray for more CTHS!

Daawww Skyfire's so kyoot when he's sleeping xD. I have a feeling Skyfire woke up just in time, that Kremzeek looks kinda menacing.

It's awesome! Great that you learned how to save time with coloring - I always get so impatient when coloring takes too long and then it's not so much fun anymore. Care to share an advise on that?
Hehe Kremzeek on the shelf.
Skyfire is looking sweet sleeping on his belly

Well, I donno... I just recently learned the blessing that is hotkeys in Photoshop. If I need to use a different tool, I've got my hand on the keyboard ready to push a button instead of moving the stylus all the way over to the toolbar. Also, I've started doing my flats on a single layer with the pencil tool so each color is easy to select and I don't have to worry about aliasing. Shadows, highlights, and other effects all have their own layers too.
As for motivation... xDD
Just gotta buckle down and do it! I'm an OCD perfectionist so I can't ever leave anything unfinished. And if it's something I really care about, then I usually have to finish it in one sitting or I'll go crazy.

Aww slag, I'm already into hotkeys pretty much, that won't help for me. But I'll keep the other tips in mind, thank you 
And unfortunately I'm obviously not that kind of worker... or fortunately, depending on the view

Aw. Just keep trukkin'!
I used to be like that too, until I started this comic, actually. I'd talked about it for weeks before just saying to myself "Aight, look. It's about time you started a project and saw it fukkin' THROUGH. So that's what you're gonna do this time. No ifs, ands, or buts."

He's so cute when he's being all domestic!
But what I want to know is if he knows he's got a Kremzik or if its snuck in and planning shinanigans.
