@sarrowsmith10 Oh nah, theyâre supportive, theyâre just very ignorant people. On top of the open dislike for the content I make they seem to think I could make bank if I start selling, or get a job with Disney like it requires no professional experience what-so-ever. Hell, even my dad has this idea that if I were to sell my comic pages on t-shirts I could make a lot of money. Iâm pretty sure heâd take my stuff against my wishes to put on t-shirts if I were to show him anything I created, cuz heâs just that controlling about what I do. Heâs also tried to get me to âhelp himâ develop an MMO, wanting me to do all the work from concept art to building the game itself, and managing the Kickstarter. Thinking it would take little time and effort.
I mean⌠I guess you can say in a way theyâre not very supportive. They donât support the decisions I make regarding my work, and seem to think creating is easy despite being aware how much effort I put into drawing? At least my mom and grandparents are more chill, mostly since my grandparents have gotten to an age where theyâre just happy Iâm around.
But yeah, it would be nice to have them support every aspect⌠but they are trumpettes, so you know.
Actually the âif you started selling, youâd make a lot of moneyâ is the #1 thing I hear from people regarding my stuff, oddly enough. If only it were that easy. Lmao!
Thank you for the nice words, though! The nice thing about the webcomic community is that almost everyone is fine with what you create regardless of whether they like it or not.
