I write Whither and Small Blessings and spar with my innate shyness at every post. Hello!

Assuming this isn't a paid position (please correct me if I'm wrong), then you're going to need to really spark an artist's interest in your project - especially as this seems to be intended to be a years-long investment of your time and theirs. Speaking from my point of view as an artist, in order …
@Plague You're right, you can really tell it's an Ito Junji tribute - the eyes and the mouth sell it perfectly! [image] [image] I'm pretty pleased with these two panels from the latest chapter of my comic, Whither. I made the switch to fully digital (finally able to afford it) and I feel like…
I don't really write out a proper script, myself, since I never have to show it to anyone. I use a sort of hybrid method to get my script out - page layouts and chapter length tend to come later in my process. I don't have samples to share, but I can share my workflow: Diagrams and lists - Basica…
Here are my girls - they'll hang out near each other, but only out of competition for human attention. Mina (the dog) just turned 2 years old, and Nimble (the black shadow of a cat) is 7: [image] (Both like to interrupt my knitting by either sitting on it or running away with my ball of yarn.)
I host in a couple of places, but I only really use one or two - NearlyFreeSpeech.NET - where I host Whither's main site. Needs quite a bit more technical and back-end know-how than, say, Tapastic, but I'm lucky enough to have a sister who likes to delve into the database-type things that I can't …
Totally on board with what @cryoclaire is saying - it absolutely can be a vicious circle. My full-time job is teaching, and I love it, but I love making comics too... Still, my work is the kind that follows me home, and it's extremely difficult to reach a balance with a career like that. Just not en…
I grew up with English and French, so I'm fluent in both. I took Scottish Gaelic and Spanish at university, and I've kept up my Gaelic, but my Spanish has suffered, and I can only read it now, and only some of it, at that. Someday, I'd like to learn a language I'm completely unfamiliar with, like Ar…
Whither - Wishes? No good.
You might want to try Maserati - I've just stumbled on their album Rehumanizer, and it might be a fit for you. Here's one of the tracks, on Youtube.
I'm pretty fond of flash-forwarding because of the expectations and anticipations it creates. I like how I get the information presented to me, and then have to keep following, keep guessing and looking for clues as to how it all ended up in that given scenario (as long as it's not completely linear…
The thank-you images are so fun. They make me want to collect them like beautiful little trading cards, but I haven't got any yet - I need to work on doing some more subscribing. Here's mine: [image] I wish I'd thought to personalize it like @justifiableconcepts - that's a great idea and it r…
I definitely get emotionally invested in my comic! @Vikiro_Hop hit the nail on the head on the writing side, regarding the mental and emotional floodgates being open. For me, it's partly because I find writing easier to erase and edit and change than drawings. I let myself do whatever feels right a…
Congrats on starting your webcomic! I took a peek - that's a promising opening. ^.^ And for replies to your questions... 1) I've been drawing mine for... gosh, five years now? Definitely have noticed an improvement as it's gone on. And the art in the early chapters bugs me still, but I've accepted…
