This is pre-published… right now, I’m juggling my time between school and a lot of things. When it was done, however, it took 8 hours to pencil the page (on full-sized sheets (16 inches tall), 5 hours to ink, 4 hours to letter, 8 hours to color. I had a team of inkers, colorists, letterers, working with me (paid by Donning.) For Coyote, I’m doing everything (which is why it’s so laggy and delayed — I have hired inkers but when things happen to them, the fallback inker is me) and it takes about a week (40+ hours) to get an episode script, then 5 hours to pencil (simpler layout, fewer panels) and another 2 hours to ink. Lettering is done with specialty programs and takes around an hour to set up and make look nice (lots of word balloon moving and going “ARGH! Too big for the panel!”)
