Deviation Actions
Description
For a long time I refused to begin the artwork for TTB until I was ready, I'd started sculpting a style specifically for it but I was never happy enough with it. I know that style change is inevitable in a comic but I wanted to do my best.
One day I confided in a friend of mine and she gave me the worst advice anyone could ever give to an "OCD" perfectionist.
"You can always re-edit the pages."
This advice did not help me one bit. Of course I'm not blaming her, I blame my own damned brain! And it's tendency to over think.
I did finally begin the artwork but her words echoed forever in my head! I always told myself there was no excuse or reason not to go over the previous pages whenever I improved. I lost count of the times I redid the first 10 pages, and I experienced a lot of tears and frustration while doing so, and if it weren't for my family who convinced me to upload the comic, I wouldn't be illustrating the 2nd chapter right now.. I would be redrawing the entire 1st chapter, just as I'd completed the darn thing.
My perfectionism helps me to improve in art but it can also be a burden. I'm super hard on myself, at times it can become overwhelming Q n Q;;
You might be thinking to yourself "What's the big deal? It's just a comic." But it is more then that to me, it is a project I've been developing tirelessly since 2011, it has evolved in many ways since it's birth and it's something I plan to see through. The journey will be a long one, but I have an exciting story that I wish to share so I will not lose my strength! I don't mean to sound like I'm gloating, I just know the story will be pretty neat @ - @;;
And so, I just wanted to thank you guys for reading this story and what's been presented so far and I do hope you enjoy it! It means the world to me you would take the time to give it such attention.
I'm sorry if I sound dramatic, I am just very passionate about what I do TT H TT To this day I despise the artwork for the first half of TTB chapter 1. I can barely stand to look at it @_ @;; But I must ignore my regret and keep moving onward! Your support certainly makes the effort more rewarding
