The Mysterious Game
What we all want...
A short piece from the sketchbook. It's a bit vulnerable. So many thoughts about comics and passion float through my head daily. They can be paralyzing. I love the comics medium, but it's very mysterious.
It feels nice to jot some of my thoughts down. It's cathartic. As always, thank you so much for reading and tuning into my stuff.
Thanks for your time,
Nico
Making comics is hard. Especially the kind that I'm making. A long form storyline that's (pretty much) ongoing. I've been working on my comic The After Death for 5 years now...5 years! I've often considered throwing in the towel, usually during stressful times of dealing with life stuff. During the times that I've either taken a break to avoid burnout, or having had to take a break because of other factors, I notice I miss making comics and always find myself going back to the desk. In the past 5 years of making comics I've learned one thing, I'm not sure I could stop even if I wanted to. I enjoy making them too much.
I've seen so many successful folks in the industry say that everyone's path is entirely unique, and I'm coming to believe it more and more every year. I think there's a niche for you! (and me)! we just need to keep grinding and force our way into it!
