Trepidation

I haven't exactly been successful in opening up and sharing about how I make, hence the four month gap in entries. I have been working. In fact I am on the cusp of launching a new web comic.

All artists struggle with being judged, and to actually show the process leading up to the finished is perhaps even more daunting. I really didn't expect that.

I finished the second Iris White comic. I wasn't satisfied with it. I struggled with keeping myself invested while putting together and I think it shows. I'm not abandoning the project, and I learned a lot just getting that first one together and ready for publishing. Iris is going to stew for a bit while I figure out what to do with her.

Misericordia is a project that has been gestating for a few years now. It was something I was planning to do in the future but I felt like wandered post Eye-Eighty. To be sure there were external things going on in my life at the time, that contributed.

At the start of September I decided to finally sit and get Misericordia ready. It a wholly different experience to working Iris White. It felt right, some of the old elation I'd get working on Eye-Eighty came back. This was the project I was supposed to working on, I just didn't know it.

I have a good start. A lot of pieces are in place. I just need to do a few last things before launch (i.e. fidget with the details). I have a lot of old writing and sketches about it, I'll be putting some up here once things are underway. I hope it's good. I hope you like it.
