Pokes my head in: Hi again. So. I’ve been really busy lately and haven’t been around here. Most of my free time has been spent working on this comic. Concept art, ideas, planning. I had started it too, got five pages in, and realized that I needed to change it again and decide really how to start it. So I started over. Since that’s mostly what I’ve been working on I haven’t done any art that I could post on here. However I decided that I could do some practice sketches of Jude and post them. Sorry they’re so messy. I didn’t clean them up but I thought they were okay enough to post. I’ve been feeling really critical of my art lately, mostly because this style started out as being specifically for this comic. However, as time has gone on and I’ve developed characters I’ve found that I like it a lot. That and trying to go back to how I used to draw things and develop something else there is extremely difficult and counterproductive to the work I’m currently doing. So most of the things I post will likely be in this style. I know I keep talking about wanting to do a comic. And I’ve been pretty fickle about it. I had started one before this but it seemed to staged. The character didn’t have enough personal meaning for me to really develop that story and since I couldn’t give it the dedication I needed I decided it would be better for me to really sit down and decide what sort of story I wanted to tell. In doing that I actually went back to an idea I came up with several years ago about a particularly clumsy witch with a multifaceted personality on her journey to finding herself and the friends and companions she makes along the way. I took that idea and refined it. Changed some aspects of it, added new characters, and further developed (well I’m in the process of developing) where I want the story to go and how I want it to be told. I’m definitely one of those people who has five hundred ideas and always just one more. Which makes it difficult for me to make something like a comic because there’s so much that I want to have in a story. But the benefit of a comic is that I have visuals I can used to piece that story together. So! Hopefully I’ll start posting more, give some updates on what I’m doing with Jude and also get the first few pages of the comic out this coming month.
Wish me luck!
Thanks for stopping by, Ydra
