So excited - and I just can't hide it!

Post by Asarea »

Well I'm drawing the first pages of my new comic at the moment (almost done 6 pages, that's alot for five days with a new RPG PC game at the same time at home ^^) and I'm feeling just like four years ago again. Like a total newbie, a beginner, someone who's doing the first steps again ...

When was your last time to feel like a newbie again? Tell me ;) I'm sure I'm not the only one (hopefully)! :D

2 years ago when I ended junkRIOT and started Avernyght. I went from a well established slice of life comic to a strange fantasy world after afew years of working on jR. I had to go back to square one with design and layout. I had to choose new fonts and I had to go through the whole "Is anyone going to like it? Am I crazy for doing this?" Though I still think that on a regular basis :/

When I started my new comic six months ago, I'd forgotten everything about the workings of CG and set up a new account 'cause I forgot how to work my old one. It had been two years since my first brief comic experiment, but it was still rather embarrassing.

It feels weird to be back at the beginning.

No see what you SHOULD say if you're being all self critical is "NO. EVERYONE'S GONNA HATE IT. I'm such a masochist ;_;"

Played my first game of D&D ever today. Since it was a one off adventure, the DM opened the game up by telling everyone "Okay, roll up a level 12 character, you've got 13,000 gold to spend. Go." So it was a pretty badass little adventure and I ABSOLUTELY FRICKING LOVE PLAYING D&D!!!

How I've not yet done it before astounds, amazes, confuses, and angers me all at the same time.

It's been a very long time for me, but I'm hoping that all changes when I go back to school in September.

:D I LOVE re-finding that spark. I met with a publisher at Top Shelf comics (a big name for indi-comics right in my hometown) to submit a project. He had some things he wanted me to shift, but told me he loved my pencils and really liked the work I was doing. This is a guy who publishes Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell and scads of award-winning authors/artists (Bruce Willis will be starring in a movie-version of their title: "The Surrogates"). So this guy is kinda big-time, he's seen some of the very best in the field and he's telling me MY stuff is almost good enough. He wants me to ink with brushes instead of pens and be bolder with my blacks - and practicing with the new techniques has been awesome! I feel like I'm getting better exponentially and like I'm really going to go somewhere with this. It's like learning how to draw all over again XD

Congrats on your first game. I tend to feel new whenever I end up playing since I GM way more than I get to play.

The worst part is I keep recruiting all my confidants so I have no one to talk to about the game who won't be getting spoilers.

I wish I could start new PnP games with your enthusiasm, Laemkral ;) try to keep this feeling, it won't last for eternity - sadly some time you'll start to see the faults of the game master, you'll start to criticize the playing style of the others and so on *grin* the normal way for pnp players ^^

By the way, McDuffies ...did you got laid? :D

No, but she assured me I would as soon as her headache stops. So I consider it as well as done.
