Breaking news from Kaja: I've lost Girl Genius.
This actually comes as something of a relief, and not a great surprise.
They're taking the color in-house to save money, which, given that they've switched to a web comic format and no longer have income from the comic book pamphlets, was pretty much written on the wall; it was just a matter of when it came to pass. What they are doing is giving me the coloring contract on the first three issues of the book, which were originally printed in black and white. The deadline on this is considerably less nerve-wracking than on a 3-page-a-week web comic.
I feel I did some of my best work on Phil Foglio's pencils, and my 6-issue stretch on GG has been a high point of my career. I hope that Kaja and Phil have enjoyed working with me as much as I've enjoyed working with them, and that perhaps we can work on another project in the future.
