Das Ich (finished!)

December 23, 2007

This comic I created especially for Kodansha Morning Competition. It’s 23 pages long and took me 2 months (!!), I realized that sounded atrocious in term of speed, but this comic has gone through various transformation, to begin with, it was started as a completely different story and was going to be almost 50 pages long, which I realized, I won’t be able to finish before deadline. Then it turned into this current story, which still have a lot of pages redone/reword over and over. And I was under the pressure to prove myself, my skills, I can’t say that I was happy while working on this, I was downright paranoid, even after finishing it, I felt bad every time I looked at it, and I wanted to hibernate till March 2008.

I long for the day that I can JUST draw comic without this constant needing to prove myself worthy to everyone else. It’s tiring.

anyway, here’s some samples, unless you are on my lj friendlist, then I presumed you have read the whole comic and I apologize for duplicated contents, otherwise, enjoy, I’ll make the whole comic available here when the result of competition is out. (and I don’t score anything)

I swear this is the last time I’m looking through this, or else I might have a nervous breakdown.
