Your goal or payoff?

[Adeca]

I want to make a living our of art, wether it is comics, or character design, or storyboard for animation. My goal right now is to find a job related to anything that involves drawing drawing and more drawing.
Regarding comics, I will also treat it as a hobby for now. But a serious hobby, so to speak. I want to begin creating something just for the sake of learning, but I also like quality in the stuff I do so I'll take it pretty seriously, even if it's just for practicing, and even if I progress slowly due to work. Right now, just finishing a small story with a few chapters sounds like a big enough of a challenge, so I'll start there and then decide if I want to go deeper into "comic author" territory.

I mainly just wanna make things, but like... goal-wise, I do kinda wish that someday I'll be able to supplement my income enough with my art that I could finally move down to a part-time day job and still be okay. Just so I could have more time to draw... x_x Currently I'm stuck in a small city that doesn't really have any art-related jobs at all, with no money to move and find something that I could actually use my skills for, so... Really, a good amount of supplementary art-based income is the best I could ever hope for.

Telling a story that stirs you up in the head and heart. That's the reward. That's the goal. I want to make people really think about how they think and what the nuances of their feelings mean. I want them to discover something about life they hadn't before--something fundamental and complex. I want them to be surprised and shaken. And I want them to always find something new with each return to my story. Something in the metanarrative they didn't notice before.

I guess it boils down to this:
I want them to walk away with a new tool for analyzing reality.

Mallory Bash hasn't gotten there just yet, but it's about to really start getting there. It's going to get to the depths of some of these characters.

Every sketch and comic I've made was borne out of the terror of mortality.
The notion that the things I do will be for naught paralyses me with fear--because of that, I make these desperate attempts at story-telling in the hopes that it will help people to reflect on their own lives and do good for themselves and those around them.

At the same time though, I'm only making those kinds of stories because I'm too lazy to enact goodness myself. I'm already in a metaphorical pit of sorts, and there's probably no hope of getting out, but I want to at least warn people and direct them towards the right direction.

With that in mind, read my stuff--it's really starting to get wild.

Other than trying to make a profit off of it I would really just want to finish it. Even if I never really get a big following or anything I would love it if I could at least finish what I started with it. It’s why I plan to eventually hire more artists to produce more pages, but for now the simple goal is just to finish the first volume (just hit the half way mark recently).

I guess probably is probably some sort of a print in the future. I've always loved graphic novels as a kid, BONE being one of my biggest inspirations, and seeing those at book fairs excited me as a kid. So, the idea that one day something I've made hopefully inspiring someone else to draw sounds pretty neat! Making a living off of what I do would be pristine, but I'm not gonna immediately presume that that will happen!

Finishing so I can start the continuation of it lmao

It's gonna be adults being domestic, which is 100% my shit and it's gon be cute.
