I'm so sorry guys T_T
I have YET to give up on this schedule, I WILL get it together soon.
I have currently told my job I WILL NOT work on Sundays at all, but . . . we're training a lot of new people (including myself, as I got promoted and need training on my new position) and since a lot of the employees are in school, they've been making us work on weekends. (the time I usually draw T_T)
I am working on the pages for IHY right now, but it'll be delayed because I was out in the cold... doing hard labor LOL.
(My job deals with cleaning, and with my promotion comes more labor, such as using leaf blowers, and hoses to wash things down... I never realized how heavy those things are until now.. but I'm strong ;])
Stuck will be fully finished soon, and as for I Hate You, I will be splitting chapter 4 into 2 parts, once this first part is over, I will HAVE to put myself on a hiatus, there's no getting around it, though it shouldn't be long . . . I have just been drawing these two pages on the day of, vs having my pages worked out ahead of time and it's too much on top of my job.
Oh did I mention I HAVEN'T BEEN SLEEPING EITHER??
Nothing like falling asleep at 3 AM and having to wake up at 5:30 AM then proceeding to do hard labor for your job . . . haha.. ha.
So yeah, Hiatus is upcoming, though it'll be awhile, which means more delays, but I'm just giving you guys a heads up, while I catch up on sleep and get used to working this much.
I created "I Hate You" a little over 2 years ago now, I started it off as a comic "practice" on a sketchbook, playing around with different character looks and themes until a story bloomed.
I started drawing it around . . . January 2015
On February 25th, 2015, I started posting it. (On another comic hosting website)
I had 25 fans by the end of the first chapter . . . then all of my files corrupted.
So I started over.
I . . . definitely rushed myself quite a bit, but I started over, and it was the best decision I ever made.
I'm just bringing this up because, I'm going through a lot of my old artwork, and I never thought I'd be able to draw the things I draw now.
I thought I'd always be lacking somewhere, and sure . . . I'm definitely not perfect and still have a LOTTT to improve on . . . but I didn't give up.
I know a lot of people who feel like it's too late to start drawing, and that you have to start young . . . or be some kind of prodigy ahead of time, and it's just not true.
Practice, practice, practice.
I get angry at myself sometimes when I look at my art and it's just not up to par, but I started my comic with no real knowledge on how you should panel things, or how to keep my characters faces from morphing on each panel (LOL and I still struggle with that).
But I'm going places, I'm not perfect, but practice truly means a lot.
If it's what you love, (PLEASE) never give up.
This is really inspiring. Thank you for sharing this story. I completely agree with you. I also started comic for the same reason- to practice more- and I have to say it's the best way to learn to draw things(atleast for me). Btw I really like your art and story keep up the good work:) Wish you all the best.
I hope you do Abby! and thank you Nena <3
I have a lot of trouble with practicing, had I practiced more when I was younger I'd draw a lot better now, but comics force me to practice in a way haha :D <3
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
I hope you're spending the day with loved ones!
(And if not, that you're still having a great time.)
I'm still recovering from whatever this hell of a sickness is,
and have had a lot of good news this year that'll definitely impact my availability here on this website.
(I do use other social media, but since it's kind of personal I'm not quite sure if I want to share it yet . . . but if you guys are interested in following me on like instagram or something, let me know! I'll probably put it up sooner than later. ;P)
My number one priority will be making sure that I have pages scheduled, (as soon as my computer is finished being fixed of course,) and due to this newfound "busyness" (Is that even a word?)
I haven't been as active with interacting with you guys, I still read all of your comments, and one of these days I'm going to go back and try to reply to as many of them as possible!!
I truly appreciate your support, you have no idea how happy you guys make me when I'm having a rough day.
So . . . be mine? ;P
Currently in the process of getting computer fixed . . . FINALLY . . .
Staying on my current schedule for now, but hopefully I'll have a good buffer soon and updates will be consistently scheduled with less delays!! <3
