Formal Attire Preview and update
Here’s a preview of the formal attire illustration. I released it on Twitter, and now I’m posting it here. The full version is available to subscribers on my Subscribestar.
I’m currently working pretty slowly on page 33, mostly because I got side-tracked with trying to finish up the thumbnail sketches for the prototype chapter. I got really fixated on it and felt motivated to do it so I just went with the urge to work on that instead. I’m about finished with it, and really hope I don’t come up with some other idea and add even more pages to the prototype chapter. It’s already become twice as long as I’d originally intended. But I think I can complete half of the pages of this chapter by the end of this year and hopefully finish it by summer of next year.
Honestly I’m not that excited about the next 20 or even 30 pages I’m about to work on, mostly because comparatively, the last 20 or so pages of this entire chapter (which I’ve been thumbing out) are the ones I’m most excited about now.
But once again, I’ve found that I haven’t really been hashing out my designs as I’d intended. I’ve just been putting them off, still. But I have achieved a bunch of things that I wouldn’t have done if I hadn’t started working on this chapter. I’ve discovered what this process is like and have gotten a better feel for that and exploring different creative choices. I’m not sure if I’ll ever feel 100% about my creative decisions, honestly. That would probably keep changing over time, whereas my storytelling and characters, I hope, would remain consistently well-developed and engaging.
Hi Lizbeth,
I’m so glad you’re starting to figure everything out! Seeing you more positive about your progress in turn makes me feel positive! Your work ethic is incredibly inspiring.
I’m loving all the Vas art, by the way. They’re so pretty! One day when I find myself in a more stable place financially, I’ll definitely go hit that big, alluring ‘subscribe’ button on your website. Until then, I’ll be here lurking in the comments, supporting your beautiful comic from the sidelines.
Thanks for all your hard work!
Thank you so much for all your support, Noori.
I can’t say I have much of a work ethic lol. I’m not very time efficient, I’m just obsessed and then try to work at this project every day. But some day I’m sure I’ll be able to crank out work much faster.
I’m really glad you like Vas, and I truly appreciate your very generous, kind and encouraging thoughts. It really means a lot to me and helps keep me going. I’m always eager to tell you guys more of the story.
Thank you again for your continued support.
