Black and white version of this: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/63784818/
And so, after wanting to get herself closer to Sol's experiments for so long, Kuroe ends up becoming the subject of one of them! I can't tell if she's happy or distressed about this outcome...
I wanted to do this final picture in color as a way to celebrate the end of the story and just for something extra special. However, since the comic itself was done in a black & white manga style, I made a version to fit that mold. It's not exactly the same style, obviously, but I think it communicates the same vibe. Plus, the text oddly looks better here, I think!
Which version do you prefer?

After enduring these "experiments", I am not surprise that Kuroe tries to avoid Sol attention by hiding herself in a corner of Keaton Kafé... 😉
Concerning which version I prefer... I don't know if my answer would be relevant. However, I was curious to see how you got your gray scale image and, after a quick test, I noticed that it is a simple combination of the RGB channels (0.30×R + 0.59×G + 0.11×B) that is used in OpenCV for example. Fun fact, this formula is not available in GIMP as a method to convert RGB image to GrayScale. GIMP proposes actually 5 different methods to obtain a gray scale image (6 if ones count the B&W filter). There are the results of my test: https://i.ibb.co/DHHcWyB4/z-MXR-5.png — and also some technical explanations on GIMP website: https://docs.gimp.org/2.8/en/gimp-t.....esaturate.html (FYI my version of GIMP, 2.10, actually use five methods: Luminosity, Luma, Lightness, Average, Value). After reading this paragraph about image conversion you may be wondering if I got a life... the answer is no. 🤓
By the way, after looking at the two images you have posted today (this one and its original RGB version), I was wondering if you have drawn your comic directly in gray scale (i.e. B&W) or in color first and then converted it in gray scale? Sorry for my silly question.

It's not a silly question at all! For the comic itself, everything was drawn in greyscale. I wanted to really pay attention to the lights and darks and focused on that rather than any color accuracy. For this final image, however, it was drawn in color and then turned into greyscale with some basic color filters in Clip Studio Paint :) I think I just used the 'color' mode for one of the layers and set the grey color manually.
