A lot has happened since my last update (2022!). I have some regrets in not using my time more efficiently for personal work, but the past is past. You’ve probably noticed the progress bars on the diary page. My goal is to knock as much of these out over the next 5 years as possible. […]
It’s my comic’s 1 year anniversary today. Finished cleaning 35/241 pages. Wish I could’ve made it further into the book, but it is what it is. Gotta keep moving. Thanks for reading, if you have been!
My webcomic is live! twthn.com The first 11 pages are done and the rest are on their way. I hope to finish everything in 2-3 years but it could possibly take me 5. I guess only time will tell. For now, please enjoy the story as it unfolds. I’m gonna do my best to enjoy […]
It’s the new year. I spent December working on other things in order to read my rough pages with a fresh eye. A few friends were confused about my last post and thought I’d stopped working on TWTHN completely. That’s not the case. One thing I’ve come to terms with recently is the length of […]
I finally finished roughing-out the book. It’s 239 pages right now, which is pretty close to my initial estimate. Making it to the end was a real endurance test for me. I’m feeling conflicted about my pacing and the breaks I took in-between, but I think they were necessary to keep my head on straight. […]
Wow, it’s already August. I’ve roughed out 140 pages so far and I’m ~61% through the script. Not too bad… I think I could’ve gotten a bit more done, but I was feeling a little overwhelmed around the 50% mark and took a short break to recharge. I’m getting closer and closer to the last […]
It’s May! My day-job has wrapped up, which means I can work on this full-time now. So, how are things looking? There are only 3 character designs left to finish up, but they’re not too urgent, so I’m gonna call a soft-lock on this bottle. I still want to do a single clean colour of […]
Things are still moving forward at glacial speed. I’ve actually thumbed out the first 7 pages of the book alongside progress with location designs. This might be the best way to go. It helps fight design paralysis when I have some idea as to what shots will be drawn and how things may be staged. […]
Time for another round of adjusting dates to better fit Will’s…lack of productivity? Kidding. I did get stuff done, just not enough as I’d hoped. Making the trailer threw me for a loop, but in the end it was actually helpful. Like a test run of how the comic would look if I tried to […]
I’m so relieved this trailer is done. I did NOT expect it to take so long to finish. Back in May I was starting to get a little fatigued from all the designing I was doing. Since most of the character designs were nailed down, I figured I’d put them to the test. What followed […]
So I got a little sidetracked from designs and decided to make a trailer. It’s about 80% done. I’m going on vacation soon so I’ll have to finish it when I get back. Until then…
Here are a few faces that show up over the course of the story. And my main girl, whom I’ve been neglecting (sorry!! I’ll come back to you at the end). These past few weeks have been super productive. If I can keep up my current pace, I should have most of the designs roughed out […]
So, the script is done. Well, pretty much. Any changes from here on will be made during the thumbnail stage. But first I’ve got to design everything. I’ve got to design EVERYTHING. :’O I did a count and there are approximately 35-50 characters to design, 49 specific locations, and 9 major props (someone kill […]
Yesh! The second draft is done. About 5-6 months behind schedule. *gulp* I think I grossly underestimated how long things would take. This new schedule should be a bit more accurate. Three years sounds about right, right? I’m just gonna focus on the next step and fill in the dates as I go…for now. […]
Quick update since I’m past the first due date. Currently 77% done the first re-write. Aiming to finish by the end of month. Gotta push it! Talk more soon-ish.
Made a super simplified production schedule to keep a track of my overall progress. I’m not sure how much time each stage will actually take me to finish so the dates are estimates. My day job as a storyboard artist is the main obstacle right now. It’s great, but it drains a lot of my […]
Here’s a poster I made to keep me motivated. I still haven’t finalized her design yet but the title is settled on. In fact, I’m opening up a little contest just for kicks. The first person to guess the exact title will receive a quick sketch from me for being a smart cookie. Shoot me […]
Q: The most important thing when attempting a project of large scale is ________.a) having a story worth telling b) having a story that worksc) having a good story d) having a good story that works and that one feels from their gut is worth telling Let’s hope the answer is D. If I don’t make […]
This whole thing started when I finished the first draft of a story back in 2012. I pulled out the script a few months ago on a whim. Surprisingly, it wasn’t as bad as I was expecting it to be. There were definitely some parts that needed fixing, but overall it seemed to be working. […]
