Another page from my graphic novel; beneath an alien sky. I got into writing because I can't stand not knowing how to do something (in comics) So for years I wrote and drew original content between freelance projects. I never sent those out, they were practice books. Anyway in 2017 I had had enough and was determined to see an original project through to the end. I rewrote it three times and each time I had to re design characters and redraw pages. And I had to stop work on it while working on other gigs. I also had to fight an internal battle, y'know the one with that voice that says 'you ain't good enough.' and 'just quit. It's so much easier' and so on. But I wasn't getting any younger and I knew comics is one of those things you get good at by just doing it (also, everything else). To keep myself from having a way out I also announced to my friends I will not be stepping out to meet then until I am published (I haven't really seen them for years now) Finally by 2019 the whole thing was done. Written drawn and lettered by myself. This was the easy part... I had forgotten to prepare a publishing plan. Maybe because I thought I'd never actually finish the book. Anyway, right now I'm cutting up my beautifully composed pages and turning them into webtoons format. The webtoons version will happen soon. Later in the year I might do a Kickstarter for a traditional print book. You can also get the comic by supporting my patreon. This is all new territory for me, I kinda love it 😎 . . . . . . . . . #bas #sequentialpages #originalcharacter #graphicnovel #scifi #indianart #creatorowned #comics #sidkotian #blackandwhite #ogn #drawing #art https://www.instagram.com/p/B8BtATOgF0G/?igshid=e6aq4khxgp37
