Description
First page of 'Currents,' a mini comic I made that you can read here! ---> [link]read from left to right!
I took a graphic novel development class this semester and our final project was to make a ten page mini comic and print copies. It was veryveryvery time consuming and sort of traumatic but I feel like I just want to make more comics now! (I could wait a while, though, damn.)
So anyways -- 'Currents' takes place in rural China and is about two morticians who are tasked with transporting a corpse back to his home town. But of course things get out of hand...
Done traditionally with ink and lettered on photoshop. I got the idea for this when my dad told me about 'xiang xi gan shi,' which is a job that entails walking a corpse across a great distance and I was just like 'whoa, that is so weird...'

Awesome!! I just read it, and man you've always had the best knack for storytelling. I get what you mean by the time-consuming trauma.. Haven't drawn a comic page in half a decade lol.
Also I think my great-grandparents might have been morticans lol. They owned the local shrine and did funeral rites at any rate....

wahhh do you mean it ;w; sometimes when I write a story I go 'would Asche find this fresh' lol I am so creepy but yeahhh <3
I reallyreally want to do another comic now and not have to worry about a page limit or the subject matter coughblcough...but the soonest I could even start on it would be summer @_@
Haha, which part of China are they from? I know the kind of job I referenced is real...I don't know if it's limited to xiang xi, though.

I completely mean it! I always have trouble coming up with stories or anything imaginative..which is really kind of a death sentence for animation coughblcough would you want to do an original pairing or a fancomic? coughwecouldencourageeachothertodoananthologycough Shit man, I wouldn't have time either though..
Hmmm...Zhejiang I believe, but I can't get more specific than that.. I don't think they walked any corpses though haha. BUT THEY COLLECTED MONIES.

I'm always so afraid people won't love my OCs, and frankly I was never good at it (the whole no imagination thing), so I've stuck with fandom sigh. But fandom moves so quickly! Every time I'm finished with something, it's already "old".
