Ladies and gentlemen, I am unhappy to report that the release of the first episode of Randomania is canceled and that the project has been put on hold.
Why? For three reasons.
1. Lack of participation
Some of you remembered that the concept of the project was about random stories based on words given by the community. Unfortunately, that's the problem. Since I announced Randomania in early September, only three people have participated, including two who are actually close friends of mine. I think the problem is that the concept could only work if the artist already have a popular feedback, while I'm actually considered as a stranger. Even some friends and subscribers of mine were excited about the project but was rebuffed on the fact to participate by using Twitter. And I tried to share about the project as much as possible to keep abreast of its existence to the mainstream Internet audience. But the only result was, else I was unnoticed, else some troll said to me "fuck this shit! you suck!" (I'm speaking to you, 4chan).
2. More focus on PullCat and my studies
I already said that Randomania doesn't seem to work was because of my too modest rank as a Internet artist. And I'll going to fix that by putting more focus and effort on a comic series that I had already been working on it for a long time : PullCat. I'll revise my release schedule in order to release more comics more frequently, I'll make the character more present in the social networks, as I'm thinking about a dedicated Facebook pages and I even have some ideas for PullCat beyond the comics. I also need more time to put more focus on my studies, since I'm actually in my last year before getting my professional degree.
3. Lost interest in it
Mainly because of the lack of participation, but sometimes, I wonder myself how I could make this concept work, as I was afraid to think if the result will come as unfunny and even predictable. Even with the words I got from the rare participants, I predicted myself that I would be unsatisfied with the final result. Not that the ideas that people gave me are bad, I mean that I don't think they would work together as something funny. Add it the fact that I was counting on people that probably don't care about me and my work, giving the impression that I don't have ideas. And that's why I want to use my own ideas instead of others.
But beware! I said that Randomania has been put on hold, not canceled. Maybe one day, I will bring it back when I'll gain a supportive audience and interest into making it. Thanks for understanding.
