So, I had an idea. I thought it was a good one, but had to dodge and weave all the wrenches that were thrown into my evil plans.
With all the things running around in my mind, I grasped on to one - a particular story that has been brewing somewhere in my subconscious for years, but never really implemented, because I only had pieces of the puzzle. Now, I've finally realized the extent of what I want to create and started to search for help, as this is something I've never attempted to attempted to do.
I searched around for people to help, artists in particular, but after waiting for far too much time, I just decided to try and do it myself.
I've thrown myself face-first into the making of a graphic novel. All I can say is "It was a good idea at the time."
I may be bleeding out of my eyes soon. It's way more work than I imagined.&
Edit:
- There are more pages in the novel. Though, I have been too busy with my book to get them up. Coming soon!
- I had chance to talk to one of my friends last August 2025. His position was to oversee all the other artists in a Disney studio. Him and his friends looked through all my drawings, all of them told me it looked really interesting and I should keep going. Wow!
