So......I'm drawing my comic by the hand. I've written out a script and I'm working on my animated promo

[GamerPrincessXI]

I want to work with my previous artist again but I don't know if she'll have time. Enough about me, how are y'all doing? Good, bad, happy or sad? Let me listen to you.

I had a slightly strange day today. I somehow finished the first volume of the prequel of my series that hasn't even finished, then went on to plan how to end the revision of the second part of the second volume of said series and now I'm somehow procrastinating even though I know damn well that I still need to revise two chapters and only have an hour left >.<

[GamerPrincessXI]

Hmmmmmm...Sounds like you need a vacay from the it all. Might I suggest a video game or two? Smash Bros. Ultimate or Fire Emblem Three Houses.

[yansusu]

Ah, I always wanted to try Fire Emblem. It looked so pretty when I saw an ad ... several years back But I wouldn't be able to keep up with my schedule if I started anything like that right now. I guess I'll first need to finish some projects *sigh*

[GamerPrincessXI]

This game is so great, and well-crafted. All of people complain about a certain path but I'm played through two and I still love this game. When your schedule lights up and you finished the task at hand, I highly recommend this game. I'm still working on the three path, btw.

I am...stuck. My comic is moving ahead fine, and I have a really good idea for another one (or maybe just a novel), but it uses some similar concepts to the comic I'm currently working on, so I don't know if it'd be okay to go ahead and make the other story whenever I finish the one I'm working on now, even though it's fairly similar to the current one.

[GamerPrincessXI]

Go ahead and make it. It's your work, you own it. Who cares if it's similar. At the end of the day, it's yours. I hope that helps.

I really should be working on my comic and other things in life, but I've recently been captivated by another story idea. Now all I'm doing is brainstorming that and I can't step away.
Don't get me wrong, I'm having a blast. It's just that my responsibilities with my comic, college (with classes starting), and general life are looming over my head, staring at me menacingly.

I just wanna make stories, man :((((

[GamerPrincessXI]

Awww, it's okay. Tapas has this nifty feature called a schedule and you could schedule your comics ahead of time like a month or so in advance and still have your life going smoothly. I tried to do the schedule thing with Nova and Max but I got addicted to dem likes. I liked people liking my comic like I couldn't step away. I was like a crack addict. Eventually, my comic ended, the likes stop and I gradually got better. I hope my advice helps.

I’m finally on a vacation. I had a long month where I was busy every weekend and didn’t really have time for myself. I haven’t had time to write or draw and I’m excited to get back into it when I go home.
But I’m enjoying my time on the East Coast right now
Can’t wait to see your work!

[GamerPrincessXI]

Enjoy the vacay. Thank you, I appreciate it. The animated promotion is always released first. I tend to work backwards. Animation, Writing then Comic. Ehhhhh....I hope you're having fun in the sun, XD. If not you can always map your way home.

I'm stuck on the beginning of my next chapter. I have a script I like, had thumbnails and a few pages sketched... but after finishing a few panels I feel disappointed.

I was hoping I could improve several aspects of my art in this chapter, correct the most jarring errors of the first, but at the end, I feel like I did not correct so many things, and lost some good spontaneity when trying to improve technically.

I'm not sure if it's that I'm stuck at on of these steps when expectations grow quicker than art improve, or if I'm really on the wrong path.
I had zero expectations when starting this comic, but I'm starting to take it a bit more seriousely after one year, so it may be the first explanation...

[JRHoch]

I'm still not drawing/painting as fast as I'd like. Sometimes I'll knock off a full-color panel in an hour, then the next one takes three hours. I promised myself I would not do lineless art--and then I went and did lineless art! Insanity!

@vothnthorvaldson I'm at the point where I'm not going to get much better technically. If I want better it's about reference (which I hate getting) and time (which I'm lacking). A spontaneous style solves so many problems. As long as it doesn't suck.

[GamerPrincessXI]

It's okay to feel disappointment. Don't feel discouraged to talk about the comic amongst friends or loved ones. Maybe they're input and bouncing off ideals could shake off the cobwebs of your slump. All it takes another to help. Singing oftens helps me find the flaws and fix them. I hope my advice helps. By the way, I was singing while writing then response.

[GamerPrincessXI]

Yes, humans are a creature of habit. If it takes two weeks for our taste buds to change then you could most certainly do lineart in two weeks. I hope this helps.

[vothnthorvaldson]

I sing too! If I'm not listening to music, I'm singing! Not great, and I have a weird tessiture, but who cares, it's still stress relief

[GamerPrincessXI]

I can't sing at all, my high school choir teacher told my parents, I was tone deaf. XD I already knew that. I wear hearing aids not very often but when I do I could pick up someone sneezing a yard away. My hearing loss made me a better person in a way. I'm able to help people by seeing what they need.

[tchotchkeco]

I’m okay. I have horrible focus right now and trying to work. Only wrote 1k words and did a bit of panels for my comic. So I’m not super happy I’m forgetting things and can’t pay attention long enough to get basic tasks done.

Other than that though I’m doing pretty good. A little sore from working out but it’s a nice sore.

[GamerPrincessXI]

Try eating salmon. That fish helps with memory. Seriously, Omega 33333s are great for memory. I'm glad, you're doing well. Don't forget to take a nap every now and then, too. A healthy sleep is good for sheep.

trying to figure out how to help raise $160 for bills that are due in the next 2-3 days and also avoid burnout while i'm at it

aside from that exited for some of the new things that i'm getting into and hoping things can work out smoothly
