Any visual novelists here?

Anything comic related if that’s part of your field, I’d like to hear your story. How did you achieve greatness? Did you allow yourself to feel obligated to doing a bunch of extra random bullshit that basically just wasted your time, or did you get straight to the point and got the ball rolling up front?

I wish! That was my dream as a child to become a comic book illustrator. I lacked the skill, patience, and passion for it (both in writing and drawing).

I enjoy scribbling out little ideas but I'm extremely heavy-handed and impatient about it, like this (I was also extremely drunk when I scribbled this one):

That already took me around 10 minutes to scribble out and it's a complete mess. I have no idea how anyone can finish panels and panels in any tolerable amount of time.

I do enjoy doodling all the time like this (was supposed to use that notepad for work but I ended up doodling) but I'm very scribbly and messy and have difficulty drawing figures in perspective without a ref so they mostly end up in front or side views like this.

Instead became a game developer as kind of a compromise where I could combine my artwork (pixel art back then which didn't take me very long) and music into a single medium. But comic book illustrator was my biggest dream.

That’s a cool alternative. Passion really is all it takes, however I believe you’ve dodged a nuke there as I am producing the world’s greatest Conga series and strive to make entertainment great again.

I will look forward to it!
