This is something which I have said several times in the artist's comment, but I just want to make sure that everyone knows about this. Basically, I am not going to be doing the full book of Into The Wild for my Warriors comic.
This is for several reasons. Mainly because, let's face it, at the rate I'm going by the time I will be in university by the time I finish the whole book. By that stage my style will have evolved and (hopefully) improved so much that the last few pages will be starkly different to the first few. Then I'd have to go about re-doing them etc..something which I'm not prepared to do. Also, working on a comic is very hard work. I understand that now and have great respect for comic artists who have stuck firmly beside their comic for a long period of time, and to be honest Warriors is not even my own creation, this is just a fan based thing. Therefore I don't see the point in channeling so much of my time and effort into something which will, in the end, not really result in anything.
However, I am NOT giving up. Please no one think that this is what I'm trying to say here Basically, I've set my target a little lower and will stop the comic once I get into the first couple of chapters. I already know where I will stop, and although it will be sad because the story seems unfinished, I know it's for the best. So in the end the comic will probably be about 30 pages in total. I don't really want to go much higher than that.
If anyone is angry at me or whatever for posting this, well why don't you go ahead and try to put a whole book into pictures yourself, be my guest. I think this time last year I didn't really grasp how grand a project this would be for me, but now of course I do. Think of this comic as a sort of practice for me; hopefully by the time I've finished it I will fully understand how comics work and how to go about making them, so that if I ever want to create my own comic I will know how.
Thanks for reading all that ^^
PS. I'm working on page 13 now, I've done most of the backgrounds and am about half way through the inking
