SURPRISE! Gotchu didn't I? Managed to finish this set before 16th so might as well post it early to not keep you guys waiting. By the way, as you might have noticed, there's colors now!

So there was a great manga artist named Sumiko Arai or @agu_knzm. If you have seen their works it's basically mixing B&W with neon green colors and It looks really cool. I was already a fan of their stuff while I'm in the middle of working on GNO 01. I was such a fan of the style that GNO 02 was supposed to be similar to it, like having mostly B&W with some colors. But I hesitated simply because of my insistence on it being consistently B&W. I'm also not sure if I'll be able to pull it off (still not sure today) so best for it to be safe. I'm also thinking if the GNO series will ever become popular one day to the point that I can put out a physical copy, either that or be picked up by a publisher. If those things ever happen then having it colored will be too expensive, another reason why I abandoned the Idea.

Now while I was working on these pages I accidentally turned Frieda's tattoos into colored and somehow I can't bring myself on switching it back. It justs look too good! Then I tried experimenting with having their eyes colored and It even becomes better! Now I'm thinking of just reserving colored parts on important pages or having some things colored to express a certain mood or feeling. I'll try to reserve having character's eyes colored on during sex scenes and impactful moments. I'm very new to this experiment so I might not pull it off yet but I believe that this will certainly enhance GNO's art going in to the future. What do you guys think?
