Lots of great and inspiring aspirations and advice above ;u;
My aspiration for A Tale of Day and Night, my main project atm, is to learn from it!
To build my confidence as a story teller (a store which is dismally low) and to prove to myself that I can complete a coherent story without it becoming a complete chore, lacking in any deeper meaning. As well as experimenting and expanding my capabilities in inking, colouring, paneling etc. trying to figure out what works best, what looks best, what makes me pull my hair out, how well I can stick to a schedule (the thing I'm dreading most). All so that when I make my next comic I will be able to do it slightly better! Even if it's just a tiny improvement in the end.
Sprawling epics with multiple povs and conflicts that follow generations of characters and contain an abundance of races and beliefs and wars and kingdoms and romances are easy enough to think up and get excited about (naturally, putting them down with pen is a bit harder). But a short story that is fun to work on, not super static and formulaic or overly vague and weird and still has an ending that packs a punch?
Now that I'm terrible at (anybody here ever have epic daydreams about short stories?) ;3; so this is my attempt to overcome that obstacle! And if someone happens to like what I'm doing along the way, then that is pretty dang awesome and encouraging too!
