Holding back hurts.

Evening, time for the first proper post to this blog that isn’t a get-to-know-me thing.

So I’ve been making somewhat empty promises to myself, saying I’ll work on the comic and general creative stuff a lot more once I move out again and have more time. It’s all well and good to plan to stick to something, but a whole different story when it comes to actually facing it.

Many times in the past, I’ve made excuses and put off things time and time again. It’s frustrating to look back on. But I have some ideas I want to explore; stuff I’m really into working on, but the main one involves a lot of time, money and… people.

So here’s the dealio:

1. I want to start a series of short comics that all tie together.

2. Each one is set in a different place and time, but with similar themes.

3. And I want each one to be drawn by a different artist.

4. Which means either collaborating with friends who draw, or actually commissioning artists whose styles I like.

5. I think a mix of both will work.

6. But I’ll need around 20 different stories of around 6-10 pages in length each.

It’s something I’m still refining but it would be awesome to get started on it.

I properly move out in 4 days, and once I’m settled in, I’ll get straight back into a decent working pattern.

But I think it could be something pretty great to look at when it’s all finished. And it’ll get done way quicker than my main series, cause it’s not just me drawing it all.

I’m also thinking of putting together some professional working material to promote my stuff, maybe even taking to small local conventions and renting a stall – all stuff to properly think about in the future.

But for now, it hurts to hold back, like the next few weeks are gonna be a stagnant grind where all I do is dream of what I will be doing in a perfect world.

Definitely gonna be an interesting few months.
