Well, since I am in a generous mood, I have decided to offer you gentle readers with a sneak peek of some of the other stuff we are working on.
This is a preview of a panel from the new Africa Benson series. This is been drawn by Shobo Coker and written by me.
Look forward to some more sneak peeks (possibly including some character designs from our third title!).
Was discussing with Nsikak Ifet, the artist on Ozidi: Of Bone & Metal about possible colours and colour schemes for the comic title. We were testing a few different colours and approaches to the book. In the process I got excited and possibly a little carried away, making him place the character and do some colour work on him in photoshop.
Afterwards, I grabbed the file and put in some finishing touches to bring what you guys see now.
Depending on how the rest of the colour tests go, you should be seeing a VERY interesting looking comic once it comes out (God willing!).
Think of this as one of the many possiblities. 
Here it is folks. The final issue. Like before you can view larger sizes here.
Colouring and lettering the 3 issue miniseries was a very humbling and inspiring experience. It showed me firsthand how much work goes into bringing a single issue of any comic book and has further strengthened my resolve to be up to the task.
I apologise for all the mistakes and amateurism in the colouring of the issues, but I hope that you will take that in good faith!
I think I might try and start doing more of these.
Let me know what you think about the miniseries in the comments .

I know I said it was two more issues on twitter, but it is just one more! After that, Tenugo resumes next week .
Here is the first issue of the teaser strip for Africa Benson.
I would have added it to the comicpress strip above so that it will display like Tenugo, but it is late and I am too tired to see about figuring out a way to keep the two comics (i.e Tenugo and Africa Benson) separate. Will try and do that tomorrow or over the weekend.
This is the first time I have attempted to do full colour for a comic strip and even though I am quite happy with the way it came out, I see LOADS of room for improvement. It is definitely a style I think I will stick with though.
Let me know what you think. Will work on colouring the rest by or over the weekend.
