Earlier this month, after finalizing the main print book for The Harbinger’s Path, I was contemplating whether it was possible to put together a “bonus booklet” with some extra material I ran out of space for in the main print volume.

I thought it was a low possibility, because ~1 month before the convention was a little too close scheduling-wise for my taste. However, thanks to fellow artists also tabling at Manga Ichiba later this month, I learned about a new printing company, MCE Printing. Like my main printer I used for the The Harbinger’s Path (Fireball Printing, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), MCE is also a domestic, NA-based print shop.

MCE prints from Kirkland, Washington, and they have a specific focus on NA-made doujinshi! How cool is that! 

To my amazement, they were able to both print and ship my “bonus booklets” in record time. Even better, I am so pleased with their print quality. Thank you so much again to Mike for shipping my booklets out in record time, and with such beautiful print quality! I am beyond pleased with their print quality, especially as this was the first time printing with them, and there wasn’t time for me to check a physical proof before having them printed. 

Above are two preview photos!

The Harbinger’s Path | Chapter 2, pages 3-4 (Printed proof – not final)

I spent much of the tail end of April finalizing The Harbinger’s Path print version, and wanted to share some photos of one of the book’s proofs from during this time! I ended up spending much more time than I’d planned refining the print version, and despite telling myself not to do this excessively – I ended up manually adjusting or making art refinements to every single page, haha. On the plus side, I’m pleased with how it’s turned out! I think the extra time was worth it, and I hope this comes across to anyone who holds the final book in their hands! 

All photos in this post are graciously taken by my printer (many, many thanks to them again for being so wonderful to work with!). 

The rest of the photos & post are below, along with one or two higher-resolution photos:

My time has been occupied by trying to squeeze in as many final edits to the book as I’m able to – which has involved some painting, and made me feel like like doing a small paintover of one of my older Laranthir artworks today. I’m not sure if I’ve ever posted the original before, because I wasn’t happy with how it turned out. Above is the paintover from this morning, and the original version is in the full post below:
