I think it's sooo cool you've decided to use a more traditional medium rather than going with digital medium. That should set you apart, in my opinion. The feeling of picking up a comic that feels like it was drawn and made by hand rather than on computer... nothing beats that feeling. It's awesome. :)

Thank you! I am really excited to see if I can pull it off on a full length book. It feels daunting, but I think the results will be worth it.

Yes, when in doubt, ask Stephen McCraine, the Space Boy himself. Lol.

What paper did you end up using? Is it 11x14? Did you do the lettering already before printing, then print without, then pull the scan back into the same file? Love the mix between traditional and digital.

I use a Fabriano Hot Press watercolor paper. Not my favorite watercolor paper but it accepts the ink from my printer really well which is a plus.
I letter everything during thumbnails and just hide them when I print.
