10 Years Later! I miss doing comics... BUT
4 years ago
Can you believe I've been working on art around the Work Sucks comic for 10 years? Well, I guess in a sense, the comic kinda died down around 2016 due to personal, career, and health reasons, but it was always a blast to work on. It was kind of around that time, and trying to do Inkbolt as well, that I realized I'm not really cut out for doing the whole weekly/bi-weekly webcomic thing. Working full time always was the priority, and well, work didn't suck as much anymore :P
If I could do it over again, I'd release little mini comics that tell smaller chunks of story, or make Work Sucks more about 1-off encounters with characters and monsters that are more... BITE sized. Hmm, you know what the fun part of that is? I can still do that! I still want to sorta continue the current arc with Gayle and Socks' adventure as it'll lead to a lot of fun encounters with vacuum monsters, but I think I'm also just okay with Work Sucks' world being a place I can visit artistically now and then, with characters I can draw whenever!
Webcomics are just... I don't have time for that, haha. Even if I do InkBolt again, and trust me, I want to, I'd rather release it one bout/chapter at a time, and not burn myself out, and try other people's patience, thinking I can do comics on a weekly basis anymore.
I think I have other aspirations as well, like maybe taking my mage comic idea and making that a book instead, but I struggle with the idea that people would want to read my writing, or that it "deserves" to be a book because I just wanna write about fuzzy things getting constantly sucked into stuff. Thankfully, really wanting to see that hyper-specific thing is a pretty good motivator for writing and drawing!
