your day in webcomics

[eishiya]

That's how I'm feeling right now ;___;

I need to do a draft of thumbnails for my comic to make sure I get the pacing right before I go ahead with writing the final dialogue, and aaaaaaaaa! I'm scared ;_; I don't even know why! I'm really excited for this project, and yet here I am ;_;

I think excitement and fear tend to go hand in hand with things that we really care about, like going to uni, big dates and creative projects. I think that maybe the fear is part of the reason we keep doing what we do; to try and conquer it or just to enjoy the fluttery butterflies we get in our tummies (that may just be me...). Is it even fear or more anticipation/nerves?

I've been working on the story for several months. A month ago I did half my thumbnails, then decided I wasn't happy with the story and rewrote it from scratch, and now I'm ready for thumbs again, so I think we're in roughly the same boat. Nothing but writing for months!
There's anticipation, but mostly it's the fear that I'll do it wrong... knowingly. I make concessions because I simply can't think of a better way even when coming back to it after letting it rest :/ But I push on because I figure making something is better than making nothing.

Trying to find out how to read my own comic without having to make it first...

Had to delete four spam messages. Yep. Let's see if this is the start of a trend.

Just a bit of template talk - discussing placeholders and a permanent design.

Today was more of a script writing day for me - for a personal project, not Double-Body.

I cleaned up tones until I was blue in the face and my computer conked out on me.

Fixed a panel that wasn't working and tightened up the pencils on the whole page... and now I'm doing my usual pre-inking procrastination.

Inking always feels like the point of no return... If I cock it up I can't rub it out, urghhh. So I faff around for an hour instead.

I misread faff as fap and combined with the sentance before it I'm now sat giggling like a loon.

hehehe fap

I'm mature I swear.

It's a great way to procrastinate but I'd suggest just practicing the lines on a random piece of paper like warm up or something and then moving on to the page itself. Take your time and don't rush.

Hnnng, I hate myself for being so lazy the first time I drew Ethereal. I mean I was lazy with a lot of stuff, but Ethereal is proving to be the most taxing thing in my comic to fix up and improve. I just... Ugh... Why did I make the windows so big that it looks like it's hardly bigger than a few castles? It's supposed to be massive, but the way I did the windows is just... Ugh. It's gonna take a while for this, I'll have to skip past it and work on it a little at a time while I remake the rest of the comic.

The people from smackjeeves don't like my comic, I rather not post a link.

Finished 6 pages last night, stayed up 'til 2 doing them all. Pencils and ink. Considering I started at around 5, but didn't break into the second page until 10, I'm not sure if it means I'm getting faster at this or merely drawing these pages over and over again helped me pick up speed. That, and the fact that the pages I didn't draw a million times ended up coming along the fastest, and those are the ones I'm scared about.

But... 6 pages. THAT'S MORE THAN I'VE DONE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. Especially in one sitting!
