The Ibara scanlation project: Happy New Year (chapter 3 up)

[KennyMan666]

I hope rancor doesn't mind that I create a new topic for this - the old topic is here and nowhere else.

So here's my New Year's present to all you dudes - chapter three of the Ibara comic scanlation has been completed.

I'm creating a new topic for it because, well, I want to be in command of the first post since I'm the one actually posting the finished versions and so I can have up to date links here all the time.

So, if you've downloaded the first two chapters before, guess what? You get to download everything again! Both chapter 1 and 2 now have pages I didn't have scans of before, some old pages have been slightly touched up, the contents page has been changed and I've completely discontinued making non-HQ versions, meaning these are all in pretty big resolution... but I've resolved to never let a page reach 2 MBs in size. Either way this means they're no longer going to be refered to as HQ versions, and so these new pages that are now the standard resolution which was the old HQ resolution no longer have _hq_ in their filenames. Just to confuse everyone.

Now, if someone REALLY can't handle downloads or whatever of this size, I MIGHT be able to be persuaded to make lower resolution pages but at this point it means resizing almost every page again since the old smaller resolution chapter 2 looked like utter shit. But for this reason I've provided new individual chapter downloads of all chapters rather than only releasing everything in one big archive as I initially planned. If you convince me to make lower resolution versions that ain't got any chance of happening until I come home from AGDQ2013, though.

A few pages from the art collection at the beginning are now in, as well as a bonus page which I had to create myself - the original version of the page (which comes from the promotional flyer or whatever the hell that was) proved to be a complete horsefuck to even try to properly clean up, but I wanted to get that information in somewhere - so, while page 002b doesn't look as pretty, I had kind of lost my patience with that entire page at that point and settled for something which was functional enough. The information is there, I might try to make it look slightly less boring in the future.

AND SO:

Chapter 1 and art collection (35.0 MB)
Chapter 2 (26.4 MB)
Chapter 3 (27.2 MB)

The whole shebang (88.7 MB)

If you pay attention to the filenames, you'll notice there's one single page in chapter 2 missing. It's a black and white art/sketch page that is unimportant as such, but will be uploaded when I actually get a scan of it. It will be added to the chapter 2 archive as well at that point for anyone downloading the full thing after that point, and to the full archive when I update it for chapter 4.

Awesome work, Kennyman666 - You went above and beyond anything I could have done alone.

Also, this panel felt like it was just asking for it.



(it was even better with my first version of the page that had "The name's Bond!" there, because I had misunderstood Shasta's line right before it)
