Progress after finishing semester 2 of 2024

I'm going to be honest. Since my previous entry, nothing has changed, especially because of how I really wanted to focus on uni for the year's second semester. The task I needed to clear before I'm really happy to move forward is still trying to get the design for Kamilla's blaster right, and for months (or at least during the pockets of time I spent working on Project: Mydan) I felt like things were going nowhere. 

However, I strongly believe that now's the time I can actually get it done. You see, last semester, one of my courses required me to make design concepts for characters, making me experience the process of starting with various ideas evolving into a final product. Now, I'm applying what I've learnt from that experience into my own work, starting with Project: Mydan. Although I've been slacking abt in my progress (I'm just tyring to gain some momentum in this stage), I've managed to get some solid ideas down for Kamilla's blaster. I feel like I'm actually not going nowhere and just redrawing weapons, and instead using my references to get forwards in the design. I've been motivated and inspired lately. I hope to finaly come back.

Re-doing some things

I'm getting back into working on my comics again. I'm hoping this habit won't last a short time, this time. Right now, I'm starting with 'Project: Mydan'.

Just recently, I've rewritten the current scene I'm up to, which is right after Kamilla splits up with her friends, in the crater of city rubble, to look for her trailer and metal pieces. I did this because initially, I wasn't happy with how it turned out. This meant I also had to redraw a bunch of thumbnails.
Looking at the scene (which I'm going to avoid spoiling if anyone reads this), there is a thing or a few that I definitely need to make concept art of. For instance, a tool that Kamilla uses in an upcoming action scene, and also the mysterious machine piece that she finds. Maybe I should do some sketches of the crater, as well. That should be it.
Honestly, getting back into drawing and writing these projects makes me feel happy. I'm glad that I hadn't lost passion. I guess it was a little dormant for a while.

Aiming for a 2024 Revival!

Hello everyone! I haven't posted here in a while. As you can probably guess from my lack of activity here (and pretty much everywhere else) lately, I haven't been doing much on my projects. And this is even though I had all of my Summer holidays to work on them. 

All that might sound worrying for most, but not for me. I know that my passion is still there, and it needs to be re-ignited with the right ingredients for its fuel. Recently, I have been trying to figure out what they are. This process may take just one guess, or, more likely, I'll have to test out multiple theories

So far, the theories I have come to a total of one. That theory is this: "If I update my project blog (and my projects Tumblr) on a more regular basis, then I will be more likely to do more work on my projects." Hopefully, this is the one. If not, that's too bad. But whatever happens, I'm looking forward to continuing my comics! ...And maybe more...?

(Also, uni's back and it's my final year, so it's going to be hell for me)
