be less afraid to create clumsy comics. awkward tangents. amateur lettering. weird sequentials and pacing. You Can Just Make it. you dont need to be trapped in a cycle of perfectionism and imposter syndrome when you could have a finished work instead. print that thing out and staple it!!!
That’s why I recently finished my first 200 page graphic novel. I just started doing it.
I’m going back to refine the early pages but if I hadn’t just sat down to draw it, if I’d been concerned with it being “perfect”, I never would have finished.
Same with my novel. There's a lot of shit in the beginning I want to/need to change, but if I kept stopping and going back, I'd never get to the end.
... granted, I still need to go back and edit...
It's not just a matter of actually finishing stuff IMO. Some of that stuff is just really good and endearing. I remember some of the least "polished" VNs from the old age of Lemmasoft more dearly because they felt so earnest.
Be you! Someone will love your stuff.
I want to do this so badly! I've been working on a comic for a while now, but I always get bogged down the instant I remember that eventually other people will see it.
I really don't know what to do. It's the same with all my creative endeavors - I have panic attacks about them being seen.
