Aaaaand that makes one week of doing this.
In result it's nothing, but in my mind it's been a constant battle, primarily between the desire to make it have some redeemable qualities, and the desire to get it done at all.
Every time I tell myself I'm going to make the next one easy on myself, I go "oooh, but I could make it a gif" "oooh, but I could make it spin" "oooh, but I could add music" and suddenly I'm learning at least one new thing every page.
And don't get me wrong, learning things is great (it's the whole point of this comic, because god knows noone's going to want to read this), but you know what else is great? Not getting burnt out.
Every day so far this week I've spent about as much time working out what I want to do and how I want to do it as I have actually drawing the comic,
I've spent far more time drawing things and then erasing them than I have actually drawing the finished result,
And I've spent at least as much time as all of that combined, stressing about the comic and avoiding doing it.
This should be easy, it's just a silly little webcomic with no stakes, no standards, no readers judging it,
But as always, I'm the biggest thing standing in my way.
Anyway, those are my struggles, and what I'm working through so far with this comic. Thanks for listening to this rant, hypothetical reader.
