A new day in the new life of a new mangaka

I really dunno what to xxxpect when it comes to C2E2, I am kinda sad that I got sunday tickets when it seems most the good events are on fri and sat. But hopefully that juss means I can network easier on a lighter day. But ultimately this is all juss a learning xxxperience, no need to get all worked up and disappointed, remembear that, future me. Love you btw

Today I learned about the brain in a vat theory. And actually it resonated with me so much I made a mini comic of it... SOOOOOOO sloppy but I wanted to get my ideas down

Moreso than juss comics, I think my passion is either for creating or for storytelling. That's why I've been so torn between game dev, comcis, writing and amination. I juss love creating and sharing stories. Why I no longer live on earth but in my imagination station.

New favourite page unlocked.
Finally have less pages than days.

Today I learned about solipsism. Well, i knew about it already but after last night I resonated with the theory more. And I realized I need to stop LMAO... And I'll leave it at that xD

Dentist appointment today, wish me luck...or don't, I don't wanna tell you what to do

I made time to sketch today and came up with a new reels series. Of going over Occult Urban Rumors concepts I've made, kinda like a podcast/pokedex/SCP

  • Working on road trip episode 8

  • Daily Draw Diary

Happy today all, it's today again and I hope you're happy

I think I'm cursed with creativity for real LOL! I have a new idea that I'm currently calling it, Concept Corner. I have so many ideas that i'll never be able to fully put into my story but I can make little shorts with the concepts I've created!

Today I learned that it's possible that, extremely spacious, buildings can have their own forme of weather inside them. And wow that's very useful to know for a future storyline for Occult Urban Rumors

I also learned that snakes have pit organs. The organ that allows them to sense heat and track prey

Today's Creations

  • Worked on Manga +2

  • Working on road trip episode 8

  • Storyboarded Another page +6

  • Scripted Comic Making ep 4

  • Outlined Concept Corner

I know I'll get better with time but I can't help but be so nervous about my manga so far. Crunching to get it done makes me think i'm gonna be missing things and forget things. But I know if I don't give myself a deadline I won't get it done either. Alas, such is life. I hope it's well written cause the last thing I wanna do is go back and redo chapter 1 anytime soon

O no, I'm learning how to pace manga as I go and damn... now that I'm at the end I find myself extending pages to fit the pacing but now making more pages to do LOL...

i'll probably juss save them and add them to a directors cut. OMG I GET TO MAKE A DIRECTORS CUT!!! I FEEL SO PROFESSIONAL!! SO POWERFUL!!!! SO CONTENT!!!!!!

Today I learned the word/phrase the bends. The phenomenon where a quick change in pressure can negatively affect the body, ie diving/ Made in Abyss/ SCP- 087/Decompression sickness

18 days remain

Today's Creations

  • Worked on Manga

  • Working on road trip episode 8

  • Worked on Concept Corner

I dunno how the manga will look with the tones, like how it'll look rendered and uploaded. Guess I should check now, but I'm also scared cause like what if it's bad and I gotta edit it all. Oh well smth else I'd have to add in the DIRECTORS CUT tm.

I wrote it down but forgot to implement it until now, but I used to do an entire page at once. But now I try to do them in steps. Sketch > Lettering > Line Art > Toning. And I gotta say this work flow is so much better. In fact, I'm on track to beating my deadline!

Today I learned that squirrels don't take fall damage, due to their small size and surface area. Terminal velocity for them is so minimal it isn't dangerous. Similar to how bugs take no fall damage.

Guess I need to add Bully to the list of inspirations for me. I never played it and only recently looked into it on my bday and I'm obsessed. What really got me was all the NPCs, even plot irrelevant ones, having so many details about them. That's something I wanna put into mine.

It was so warm today, so I took a walk and I missed those so much, very much needed!

Today I learned that... I wanna look into and learn more about series, I love, development cycle and details. Not only because it's so interesting and fun but also I can learn so much from them!

I juss realized, this blog is now a development cycle for Occult Urban Rumors and anything else I make. I can't wait to look back at these in a few years time
