Let the Mid-Life Crisis... Begin!

I'm really digging the rework of the cover! I remember when you were working on the original, and had mentioned that you were sort of fighting with it, which in my world usually means I'm not going to be happy with the result, and the muse is going to nag at me until I do it right, dammit! Mind you, I thought the original cover was looking pretty great, but this new one is really dynamic. At the end of the day this comic is a labor of love for you, so I feel like you can be as nit-picky as you like. You're the one that needs to be satisfied with the work you're producing.

Also, such a cool idea to do your own custom Funko Pops. Excited to see the progress on those too!

Oh, and happy birthday! Getting older may not be your favorite thing to think about, but I think making another trip around the sun deserves acknowledgement and celebration.

Thanks so much for the feedback and birthday wishes! My muse has been nagging something fierce! 😆
It really was such a long process and lots of learning working on the first issue that by time it was “done” there were big disparities in quality, the cover being a good example. I also rushed it to have something to show at the convention deadline I’d set. I’m giving the whole issue another pass... and then I’ll finally move on to issue #2!

Cover is looking great and the little funko pop sculptures are fun - those are already looking good! Welcome to 40 :) I will join you in 6 months or so. My bday falling in the middle of summer I always go on a camping trip and just get the F away from people entirely for my bday week. May this decade be awesome. Good luck on your projects :) Cheers

Thanks so much! I’m at the start of a very rare weekend off... so hopefully I’ll make some more forward progress on both! Enjoy your upcoming 40th. We’re only as old as we feel. But I feel 12 mentally and 82 physically... so it’s a real mixed bag. 🤔

Happy birthday! Well, happy late birthday. The image looks great. You are making some amazing progress with your comic in my opinion. I love Funko Pop. I have a modest collection that might get not so modest in time.

Thank you! 🥳 I was really hoping to be working on issue #2 by now, but I’m also glad to be taking a harder look at the work to date and refining it. I’ll get this out to Steem and the world at some point!

perfection takes time. I was I had your skills, I stopped drawing in middle school and sometimes I wish I hadn't. Keep doing what you are doing. Keeping your dreams alive is more important than any deadline.

I've never owned a car or a flash woman - can't draw either but 40 still ain't so bad :D
