God's Plan ( + Bonus Panel!)

Bonus Panel:

I'm experimenting with the look of the comics rn.

For this one, the original panels were about 2000x2000, but before scaling them up to their final resolution of 1500x1500, I scaled them DOWN to 500x500. I'm thinking of trying to make the next one at 500x500 from the get. Why?

1) I like a sort of pixely art style, because I make these comics digitally, and I've always drawn digitally (before I had a drawing tablet I'd draw with a mouse), and a pixely artstyle is just super unapologetic about this being a thing made on a computer, which I like. I like Homestuck for this as well.

2) Limitation breeds creativity, but it also limits my scope, which, if left to its own devices, tends to grow so hilariously out of proportion that I lose all motivation to even finish the thing I'm working on, because it becomes impossible to finish.

I like to finish things.

Not in the moment. In the moment, it sucks. I think "ah, shit, this isn't as good as it could've been. I should've started earlier on this. Maybe this isn't even worth showing." But then later, maybe a few days or weeks later, I'm glad I finished it instead of just leaving some unfinished dream that I gave up on.
