News time:
Drawing this comic is really fun , and gives me a great sense of satisfaction.
Unfortunately, I'm not feeling up to drawing it anymore. I understand that doing a comic is some form of a commitment, and I shouldn't be stopping. However, a webcomic should be something that is done with love, not obligation.
I find that I've made many mistakes in doing this comic. I had the beginning, big events and ending planned out ever since I started, and I think I've planned too far ahead. I'm tired of it. While I have nice twists and turns for the story, I also lacked to think of reasonable explanations to back them up.
Now that I think of it, this was sort of like a trial run for me. Now I know the sort of work and commitment that's involved. I want to keep drawing comics, but I want to-in a sense- start afresh. Instead of trying to slap pages up as soon as possible, I want to develop a story and characters with care, so I'll always be eager to draw and work with it. I also want my work to have more depth; more meaning. I also hope that-with experience- I can be able to provide a better comic.
This is not to say that Dragonesque is gone forever (-_-*). The thing is, I'll just sort of be ignoring it from time to time; spending far less time on it. It'll truly be a little side thing. I'll continue to post pages, if I feel like it or get the sudden urge for comicky goodness. But it'll no longer be my focus. If I feel like it someday, I'll come back and work for it in earnest. I will continue to post art, though, because I enjoy drawing in general.
I do have a page uploaded, so I'll post over the weekend. To those who actually like this comic (thank you for your encouragement!), I'm sorry I'm abandoning the comic like this, and I'll try my best not to leave you hanging. I really want to come back to this, but not at this time. |
