I didn't always put them here, but I'm ceasing to post monthly previews for my Batman fancomic anywhere.
The monthly preview system is NOT helpful towards making progress on
the next. Because of it, I had been doing as follows: Working from the
script I have written, I thumbnail a page, then, because I need
something that looks relatively polished for a preview, I start drawing
said page, a little each day. On the 25th of the month, I scan some part
of the page I'm working on and post it as a preview. It's a frantic,
discouraging catch-up game, and it's not working. It does not encourage
me to work faster, and it's disjointifying the flow of the chapter. The
whole chapter NEEDS to be thumbnailed before starting on the pages.
Ideally
of course, I'd have finished the thumbnailing and be well underway with
the pages by the middle of the month. But it was always the case that,
being a fancomic, Decadence would have to take a back seat to creative
works that I could make money from. In the past, these were mostly
freelance jobs, but right now I'm on the cusp of launching some projects
that would make money and would actually be stories from my own
creative vision: a comic in collaboration with a significant author and
an original webcomic. The comics industry is in upheaval. Now is a key
time to plant new seeds. I definitely still also want to tell my story
inspired by the legend that is Batman, so I'm getting rid of its monthly
preview so that I can work on it more steadily and efficiently
alongside all these endeavors. Thank you for your patience and
attention.
