Hello fellow millennials. I, too, am depressed lol
I’m 32 and have been doodling since I figured out how to hold a pencil and have been writing for nearly as long (although, I wouldn’t say I’m particularly adept at either, but it fills the void just a smidge, which is lovely) I have a novel that I just started writing with no plan whatsoever (do not do this, I have no idea what to write for it next and I’m closing in on what I had written previously) and a comic I’ve been writing for nearly a decade (however, I am colorblind and terrible at perspective/backgrounds, so idk man I guess I’m just a mess)
They’re both passion projects that I’ve put a lot of myself into, and to see any amount of people enjoy them has been such an incredible experience.
For Julian Rhydderch; I’ve got some mental health issues of my own and am autistic so this was more an exercise in learning emotions and trying to find ways to understand them and maybe the reactions of people around me/how to deal with them. It was never meant to be shared with people, but I allowed friends to read it and they told me to share it.
As for The Tower, I wanted to make a superhero comic with one linear plot. While there are side stories, there’s also a definite end planned. The whole plot is planned, actually, now I just need to get better at art!
