First comic completed!


I did it! I finished my first comic within 24 hours during the the 24 hour comic challenge. 

I went through different sates of mind during those 24 hours.
It started with a good amount of motivation and led to much caffein. (Like my character Eden in the comic haha)  
Staying awake for 24 hours is a big challenge for me. At around 3 a.m. I was mentally done. I ate something but it didn't help regain my brain power. After procrastinating for 1 hour I made a few push ups which helped me to push me awake again. 
I shaked the lines of the last pages in a really short amount of time (which I love the effect for) and reduced the panels... because every panel means one picture. I was afraid I wouldn't make it in time. 

As I finished the comic it basically lost every worth to me. I napped the last 2 hours I had left and felt kinda frustrated. I achieved my goal but I couldn't be happy about it.  If the comic would catch fire it wouldn't have mattered.

Gladly I just had  to take a good amount of sleep and after one day I started being happy and proud about what I have achieved.
And I still am. 

It surely hasn't my best drawing skills captured but that was never the goal. The goal was finisihing the comic and convincing myself that I'm able to write a story and ink a comic.

Mission accomplished
