For those who remember me talking about comic pages and such... well...I have recently finished 1 episode of my comic and I feel liberated! (Who cares about the fact that's just 1 of maybe 10 lol) I know I don't like to tell about progress, but I just gotta! Because I felt that in that 1 episode, I learn more than the years of doubting!
I read an article saying something like "if you can't draw tanks, don't make a military comic". They meant it in such a way that if you use a comic for learning, you might come up with inconsistent styles for that thing you don't know how to draw. Fair enough. But it made me feel kinda bad because I can't draw vehicles. I can't even draw anthros very fast and easy.
But still, I made it having both elements in the comic. It was tough, but manageable. One episode within one month. That's 17 pages only though (I don't know what the standard page count is for episodes, but I don't base mine off of anything in particular, just whatever is necessary). And I can say that while the drawings are simplified versions of my usual drawings, it isn't too bad when viewed as a whole given the quantity. I love my story and OCs enough to try my best and learn how to draw things I'm not used to. It's possible when there is passion for fuel!!
I'm still missing the episode cover though. So maybe the episode isn't very complete. Ehh whatever, we celebrate small victories regardless.Aug 3, 2025

I hope you find a way to properly celebrate this milestone 
️It is a reason to be proud!
People at times ignore how much time and work it means to develop a comic, from the mere character designs, to work on the plot and plan every page! Even one single page is a marathonic work!
Is tons of effort. Bigger companies hire more than one person to make inking, drawing, writting, painting, etcetera, so making a whole team work all by yourself is something to admire.
I also work in my own comic, so I know how much of work it takes, adding that I have a 9 hour full jobe that takes most of my day, so my comic is mostly a nocturnal work, haha.
Congrats, a whole comic with your art and characters has to look amazing! ^^
