I wish I could, Roderick. I just don't feel confident that I could reliably and regularly hit that goal. I think any individual cog in this machine (me (the penciler), the inker, the flatter or the colorist) could easily do 5 pages in a month... but all of us together would be cutting it too close. I have to pencil the pages, and then get them to the inker. Then wait for him to ink them, and get them back to me. Then I review and edit them, and send the inks to the flatter. Wait for the flatter to turn them around, send them back. I review and edit, and then send them off to the colorist. Wait for him to render color, and get them back to me, and then do a final review and tweaks, and add dialogue and sound effects. It's the space between, moving pages back and forth between artists that is the variable. I've been trying to get a bit ahead on pages, but that's a limited proposition due to the occasional vote. And I don't want to promise something and be unable to deliver. So at the moment, I think 4 pages is my current limit.
