I think you pretty much answered some of the questions coming your way.

Your look in stage four, five, and six... THATS what hides under "Thistle's" hood! AH-HA

YAYYYY!!!!!! Also, I see a sneak peak right there in the middle! Heehee, you tease.
Really cool to see your process! I'm excited for these new Reader Q&As

I don't mind the Pencils, but Inking is such a welcome break I can't help but love it. I can watch movies and listen to the Dish and do all these other delicious things that would distract me at any other point in the process. Maybe if I could do comics full time I would feel differently! XD
Love seeing the progress even in a little bit! I knew it was hard to crank out the high quality kinda webcomic you do but I didn't know exactly what it entailed! X3

It's definitely time consuming, but I'm glad you think the quality is respectable! :'D
I'm still trying to streamline the process further, but it's hard when you get home in the afternoon and you just want to sit and veg on the couch. To be fair, I freaking love telling stories, so it's a little easier than it would be with any other kind of project, but the fact remains that there are still plenty of other distractions.

Page Templates!
All I do is sketch out the page according to the cleaned up thumbnails in my sketchbook, and then measure out and compose the panels digitally. What I end up with is a blank page, but with all the panels already ruled out and perfectly aligned, that I just print on Tabloid-sized paper at 10% opacity and then draw on top of. When I scan them back in, I drop them back in the template so that they're already primed for inking.
Basically, it's an easy way for me to skip the time consuming process of measuring each page and panel out with a ruler, and comes with the peace of mind knowing that there will be no additional formatting or editing to get the page from a traditional stage to a digital one.
Does... does that make sense?
