I make comics...?

Post Reply New Topic

Hello everyone. I've been thinking hard about starting back up my old comic. Last year I got so caught up in trying to find scholarships for school and later, school itself, that I was only able to get about a dozen or so made. But I only uploaded three or so and already I am already feeling that sort of inadequacy I've felt when making it. If it's not the artistic quality, it's the writing. If not that, then it's how little progress that's been made in people who actually hear of this, or like it, etc. Honestly, I don't think there's ever been a time where I was solid in my satisfaction, though I can see how this can work out well as there. But when dissatisfaction is the only feeling I get, with no short periods where I feel happy with what I made, I wonder if it's just futile to continue on.

And if that's not the only problem, there's the issue with school eating away at my time. I might be able to manage this term, but I also want a job. I want a job so I can afford college more, and I'm going to school so I can improve on my art, and I want to improve so I can use it on my comic, and lastly, draw comics as my job, or at least my main one.

I don't think I want to quit on my comic after all I put into it, but what's the point in going on if there's no sense of reward or that what I do is worthwhile?

I don't see any point in pursuing something if you're not gaining anything from it. I understand the sentimentality in letting go of something that's been a part of your life, but perhaps rather than dropping it completely you can just postpone it until you find it more compelling to continue on.
