MY MANGAAAA
11 months ago
Alola Sailors.
After much consideration I have decided to release each page as I finish them.
I have been having the mindset of being serious and to put myself at the level of a professional Mangaka, which was a big mistake.
While a Mangaka can do 17-20 pages per week, they are working only on drawing and with a team of 3-4 people helping them. I have a job, so no time and no team.
That mindset has been causing me a lot of stress and anxiety. I am way slower than I thought, and not being able to do it as quick as I wanted is making me spend all my time on it, so I can't do more YCH or draw anything else, making me lose exposure, money and leaving me burnt out. Hopefully with practice I will be faster but right now I can't keep up with that pressure and planning to do more chapters, focusing only on the manga and nothing else, publishing every X months... is not a sustainable way to go with my art.
It took me too long to realise something obvious... I am not working for a publisher, I don't have deadlines or people working with me, I do NOT have to go through this... I want to draw manga professionaly, but until then, baby steps :3
Since there are people who prefer seeing it once it's done, I will create another channel for it.
Sorry for all the text, the venting and the constant change of opinion. I hope you all enjoy what I am making.
I have a few pages done but I won't send them all at once. I will do one a day until I run out of them, then I will upload them as I finish them.
