I'm Not Cut Out for Webcomics (clickbait title)
2 years ago
General
TLDR upfront: clickbait title, still working on Inkbolt, but there's just so much stuff I wanna draw.
As I'm working currently on the back half of the next reel of Inkbolt, in a way I'm kinda glad I chose the "chapter by chapter" format I did, because right now I'm struggling with a couple ideas I was already aware of when I stopped working on Work Sucks:
"I'm not cut out for doing weekly webcomics, and the content I make is so niche it will never be something that can support me on its own."
And you know what, those are both okay! As I said I'm still working on Inkbolt, but I can't just be making one comic, I work full time! I want to do animatics, those are so much fun. I want to draw art for my friends, and fan art of people's characters I really find charming.
I'm also working on a spiritual sequel to Work Sucks that cuts out the work but keeps the "sucks" part, and this time it takes place inside a vacuum!
But yeah, the weekly webcomic drive died in me half a decade ago, and as I pursue career goals and want to work on many things, I don't think it'd ever come back. But I DO LOVE drawing comics, and I hope you enjoy the ones I continue to make like Inkbolt and Pressure △ Flow

keeping tight weekly schedules is just a realm of suffering. Esp if you want to do more than a single row strip.
