Mini update on my indie manga / comic thing ✨
So yeah, a little update on my small project, Lila’s Haunting: Echoes of the Vengeful Spirit.
I’ve got 8 pages done so far, which is cool… but I noticed something that’s been bugging me.
My character consistency (especially the crow) is kind of all over the place. 😅
I tend to pause, then come back to drawing later, pause again, continue again, and over time the character slowly changes without me even realizing it. I know you’re supposed to keep drawing consistently, but… Yeah, that’s easier said than done.
I’m debating whether I should just leave it as it is and let people notice the inconsistencies naturally or if I should slow down and fix things properly. I mainly wanted to be upfront about it.
Because of that, I’m thinking of making proper character turnaround sheets, something I can actually look at instead of relying purely on imagination every time. I think that’ll help a lot.
Each chapter is around 27 pages.
I’m aiming for 27 chapters total (yeah, it’s ambitious, I know).
I’m working on it slowly but surely. I do use ChatGPT to help brainstorm ideas sometimes, because honestly… coming up with everything by yourself is hard. It helps me think things through.
I also ask friends for feedback, and they do give it, but they’re understandably more interested once there’s more to read. One page at a time doesn’t really give the full picture, you know?
Anyway, my goal is to finish it this year, if I can.
Lately work’s been rough, though. Lots of shifts, mostly night shifts mixed with morning shifts, and yeah… I’ve been pretty exhausted.
Still, I’m trying. Slowly. Lazily. But genuinely.
