Katharsisdrill is the creator of the comic about Phill from GCHQ published under the creative commons license. Currently at 39 pages it can be read on: www.phillfromgchq.co.uk
(This is a small report on today's work and also a test of @steem-comic-con on ChainBB.com)
It took me some time, but the last few days I really feel I have gotten back to my old level. The routines are back in place and most importantly - I enjoy myself.
The next page (page 40) is almost ready and I think that it, like the previous page is more inspired. Ideas and new projects connected phill from GCHQ is popping up and I am already started to make seperate drawings of the characters for a Dramaits Personæ - set of files.
The poor translators of my comic ( @vcelier & @shortcut) will now have to translate poems too...
Having voluntary translators gives an extra set of things to consider. I already made the speech-bubbles slightly larger, as Danish and English are more compact languages compared to French and German. But making translations of poetry is quite hard. I already translated the poems to Danish to see if it is doable... and it was. Personally I like writing rhymes and translating them between Danish and English.
It actually worries me a bit, but the idea about the modern day bard Vincent that on page 39 had a near-death experience and now only talks in verse is too good to waste. I will have to see how they react :) Maybe it will be a fun thing to do.
I got a new 1$ patreon-patron which is nice. That makes it 5 patrons and 11$. I would very much like to see that number climb a bit. Hopefully more will join soon :)
Great to see, that you're back on track! Also the @steem-comic-con board seems to be a very interesting idea ;-)
I've never done a rhyming translation of a poem before. Just translated some of my own poetry (which usually does not rhyme at all). But I'm sure this will be a fun challenge.
By the way, it's very kind, that you made the bubbles larger, which helps a lot ;-)

Yes, the bubbles are in a constant battle with the drawings, but it is a good thing with the translations and German needs some more space with all the schzt things that you use.
It is also because of the translations that I am not drawing the from in "Phill from GCHQ" any more. I even think it works in most European languages :)

Nice to hear that you're back in a good creative groove. Closing in on 40 sequential pages is really worthy of recognition. It's definitely a herculean effort and I'm glad you recharged a bit and are set for more!

I will go for a classic 46 pages and then try to see if I can raise some money to have it printed. It will only be the first part of course. Many more pages is needed if Phill is to reveal the mr. P mystery.
