Finally had the opportunity to simplify Haliya’s tattoos cause they’ve been a huge headache to draw. Heck, this redesign took some time too… My bad though, I knew it was going to be a pain to draw in the future but I was too stubborn in getting some awesome warrior tattoos on her as fitting for a warrior goddess.
Tiger Haliyan: She's out cold but I don't think that's going to last.
Redhead Haliyan: So... continue on, or go back? We need to report this to Lady Haliya.
Cruz: What's that?!
Tammy: Hold on, that wind sounds familiar.
Sorry for the lack of updates. For anyone who was worrying about me, thanks. I’m fine… well, fine-er. Catching up again with friends I haven’t seen in years (thanks COVID), and now regularly hanging out/gaming together online, or now and then in real life. I’m super introverted, but even I didn’t realize how much I missed interacting with my buds again.
Anyhoo, gonna take me some time to build up a drawing habit again, but I can’t keep feeling discouraged, pathetic, and guilty, and procrastinating forever. And I guess it’s time to admit it, I’m not the most passionate artist out there. Waiting until I’m in the mood to draw just isn’t gonna cut it as you can see. I have to rely on habit and discipline to actually get some serious work done.
Therefore, I WILL post a comic page every Friday no matter what.
You know what, if I have some thoughts about the comic page I’ll try to write about it here from now on. I’ll leave my “minimalist witty quips” in the alt-text/meta description, and I do like writing out my thoughts about it if I have any. Thinking of those quips and the titles for every page is quite hard if you didn’t know!
So… writing (relatively) average people is definitely more challenging than action/shonen protagonists. They can’t fight, get scared, and there’s only so much they can do with what they have, and they can’t just Leeroy Jenkins in there like an idiot and well, die. Keith has done something like that sure, but IMO that’s a bit forgivable since that’s done for comedy. Something to take note, fellow writers!
Sorry for the rant, I’m just worried that all the talking is making it look more like Tell, Don’t Show instead of the other way around. That, and I keep forgetting to forgive myself since I’m actually still just a beginner writer and this whole Episode was my first attempt at anything semi-serious happening to the protagonists.
