Cool thing, I have become a mentor of sorts to the intern in my office.
We do corporate comics, a Mickey Mouse operation of sorts. Anyway he's been showing me his work and asking for advice and yadda yadda.
Can't tell you how awesome it is to have an apprentice. Yes, I call him that, whether he wants me to or not. He's grateful I haven't yet called him Padawan.
Anyway I showed him all the things needed to print comic, publishing, self publishing and so on. And it filled me with a certain amount of happiness when he told me that he got his comic into the hands of a publisher already. Then I was filled with a bit of depression as he was able to do something I have wanted to do for ages and never had the time or energy. I guess when you draw all day for a machine that really has no interest in anything other than it's own interest you get caught up in the rat race.
Looking through my old sketches I had some truly awesome ideas. All I needed to do was just make the comic lol.
At any rate, I hope I can finally get passed the design and script stage this time around.
Squealing over!

Personally, I'm an animator in games. I started out with all these cool ideas for productions, both little shorts and epic. But now I realise that it's several years later, and when I get home, animating is the last thing I want to do. All those projects not done, the stories not told...
But FWIW I'm OK with that really... the way I figure it, is the longer I work, the more experience I get, which means when I finally do go off and make what I want to, the result will be better for it. So long as I'm not stagnating, I'm still working towards that goal, I guess.
Good luck with it man XD. I hope your Padawan doesn't turn on you like in that movie.
Haha, well if he begins to show signs of betrayal, I'll proceed with the preemptive strike! *ignites lightsaber*
