Mission accomplished.
Yesterday, I restarted both of my webcomics, Missed Approach and Cosmic Fowl. Since I'm my own worst critic, I'm always apprehensive when I create new art, including my webcomics. I know there'll be the eventual argument between me and myself, as to whether I could have created a better drawing. Of course, I will win the argument (but I’ll also lose the argument). However, yesterday was different. I was less apprehensive (maybe I'm starting to learn how to deal with myself??). Maybe it's because my ideas for the new webcomics were better thought out (as they should be Michael, considering you’ve been thinking about a new Missed Approach for several years!) (Quiet you! I'm trying to write a blog!).
Although I've had several recurring thoughts about giving up my webcomics, I've discovered that is impossible to do. The characters in my webcomics are living beings to me. Although that statement makes me sound like I should consider psychological counseling, it's the way I feel. Due to this fact, it's difficult for me to quit creating my webcomics. I mean, how would you feel if you were one of my webcomic characters, you’ve been stuck in the same panel for several years and nobody was creating your next adventure?? Not only would you be bored to death, you would feel sad that your creator gave up on you. Not to mention the fact that not putting them on paper, doesn't mean they are not being created. I continuously create new webcomics, however, by not putting them on paper, it only means they are just filling up the ever decreasing space in my brain (no wonder I can't remember birthdays!)
Also, I like the fact that when I'm drawing my webcomics, I can escape to that alternate reality I've created…or maybe, I can escape from this alternate reality???
