I had no idea a character I drew on a whim would inspire me so much. I'm talking about this one: https://sheezy.art/godblessgretel/gallery/a-jolly-fella

People who follow me might've even noticed I made a ref sheet (sorta?) for her today. Something itched me for a couple of days that I must make something "bigger" with Celeste (that's her name). I know I want this, I know I want to make a comic with her. I already have the entire first chapter drafted in my head, I already have the other characters on my mind as well. I just need to be ready.

From other experiences I heard, especially from webcomic creators who do the job all by themselves, it's a not to say painful but still difficult job that REALLY can affect your mentality. I know that difficult jobs often lead to most beautiful things like success but you also need to learn to be prepared more than ever. I know some people can find comic making fun and stuff, but you also need to think of how people will accept your creation. What their thoughts of it might be. From drawing style to writing, everything must be planned well before beginning.

I'm aware of all of these things I said and I wanted to make my own comics for God knows how many years. I had so many different concepts that just didn't work right. But this one is "toying" with me in a way I can't tell if it's good or bad... But I know that something will come out of me one day. I just wan't make sure and take care of myself so I don't get mentally destroyed by this idea
