All right! We're back with colors! If you liked seeing the inks of this page, consider joining the $3 tier on Patreon! You'll get EVERY inked page in hi-res. People have been saying that they like looking at the inks before seeing the finished pages because it's fun to compare. Donating at any level also gets you EVERY page at their original (very big) sizes, too!
