I'm glade this story is only 5 pages, because any longer and I think it's message would have been over stated. Hell, even at 4 it feels a little dragged on.
I must say, Making this comic was a little difficult. I tried focusing on making a draft in a specific frame of time. So I was pressured to completing this thing. I probably didn't win because of a multitude of thing's, let's face it, I souldn't be kidding myself, I don't think this is PG. And when you start thinking of the significance of my other work, Obsession, that isn't exactly PG either. I mean, what I like about that work is up to interpretation. It can be straight forward and be like a slight PG or a hard G. Or you can break it down and leak into PG-13 territory easily. So to state one of the requirements that this comic needed, must be PG........ no.
But I liked that of the other work, that it was interpretation based. I lost that in making this story. This story was, really straight forward. Symbolism is flashy, narration is direct, and story wraps itself up rather too quickly. I guess those aren't exactly bad things, but those are some hard, clunky pills to swallow if you catch my drift.
This was a different experience, and I learned that not all stories can be written the same way. I tried really hard to set up this story in the same way I made my last one, thoughtful message, simple characters, thought out theme's and symbolism. At one point I wanted to throw in a twist. But the point is, I had to approach this differently. When I approached the story calmly, the draft's were pandering and unfocused. Your pretentious shit that led nowhere. I went for it at a sad way, and it just turned out to be manipulative, and unmoving. So I wrote about how I actually felt about the subject. I didn't want to write about how my art changes the world. I wanted to talk about WHO I change, cause it's those people that make up this world. So I got mad, talked about my frustration, made thoughts short, thought out, yet disorganized. And I talked about how I felt.
Art's expression. Never hide you're feeling's in your work. And not all idea's are going to be brilliant, just make them the best they can be.

Thanks, I wanted to go for a very well draw piece of work with a fairly open narrative. I think the artwork cam together perfectly, But I was a little unhappy with the story because the restrictions left it feeling a little pretentious and very narcissistic. I actually made another comic with a large amount of detail, and page 3 of this comic has and entire mountain of bodies.
