Hey guys!
Sorry to be so dead lately... :\
Surprisingly, I'm not in a slump or going through insane life changes this time,
-holyshitwhaaaat??-
turns out, it's actually because this project is rather time consuming! - of course there are the usual obstacles of trying to balance art as a priority amongst work, taking time for my husband and other social/life events/obligations, but I think I bit of a bit more than I thought I could chew with this thing. I knew it would be a bit of a time suck just in terms of the amount of work I would have to put in, but my god...the repetition, lol
The last time I ever messed with anything resembling comic work was back in middle school when I had just started getting in to Manga. I made this dumbass Hamtaro rip-off comic with my real life hamster Pixie as the main character, and always had issues keeping up with it because I hated drawing the same characters and things over and over again - but from different angles. I'm encountering a lot of the same issues this time around, but I really want to see this thing completed; I've also solidly realized that it's only as boring as you make it. Chances are, if it is boring to make, it will be equally boring to look at, so I've combated that by trying to convey action through a lot of different angles and expressions. It's working very well thus far, and I'm super excited about working through it and getting it to the point where it is presentable! @.@
If I can keep the original vision in tact through all the chaos of production, hopefully it will be something that will be of service to other creators who struggle with a lot of my same issues...
- back to the grind stone!
With love,
Silent Shout
