Ohhh mannn....
I was thinking about posting in this thread and then I was like "Wait, this seems familiar. Didn't I post in this thread way back when everything was different?"
Yeah, yeah I did.
So, since then I have been taken over by a muse like a little artist-marionette. I started a new comic and it's been updating at least five days a week with full-color pages for more than a month. It's been getting more attention faster than any of my other projects. And I kind of feel like I'm just standing off to the side watching all this happen. I have no idea how I did all that.
I'm not drawing any more Sunelves comics, which I'm okay with, because they weren't getting much attention, and really after the conclusion of Book 1 it's all been shorter arcs, and it could stop just about anywhere. Dragon's Fall is going on hiatus, which is sad, but it was my co-creator's decision, so I'm not overwhelmed with guilt. I haven't gotten a job and I'm not in urgent need of one. So basically all I've been doing is chasing this muse.
It's weird because I have not much idea where the story is going. For the first time I feel like a comic artist instead of a writer illustrating her stories, because I'm letting the art and the mood dictate where the story goes. I feel like everything I've done up to this point has been practice and I'm finally getting to the real work.
I'm even daring to dream that I might some day make money from comics. You know, hypothetically.
Anyway...yeah. That's how I'm doing.
