I mean granted it's been an entire year since I last updated, but. Y'all feel me
Anyway- I've been stewing my brains and repurposing a lot of stuff, and I've been considering rebooting my comic again.
I'm still trying to simplify it in a more easy-to-read and easy-to-change format. Like I said last year, I can't focus and I have super omega commitment issues lmao
No promises on anything, and I can't say how soon it's gonna be, but I just wanted to pop back in and say I'm alive- obsessive and fidgety as ever.
I'm sorry for not finishing the last page, but I couldn't keep dragging myself to do it and wasting time while I could be working on new and better comics.
I've been considering where I want to go from here, and I've been tossing around the idea of making short stories instead of ongoing heavy-lore. I don't have the time or energy for that, I'm one person and this is supposed to be my hobby. If it's making me bitter and miserable, it's not productive. 2020 is already a dumpster fire and I don't want to spend any more time drawing from a place of hurt. I was kinda stupid to do that in the first place.
Anywho, I hope you can forgive me for all that. I know it's hella annoying when comic artists suddenly nuke, but I hope to make better things in the future. "Observer" as a setting isn't gone- it's just going to remain personal from here on out.
I'll keep this brief. Long story short, I'm not happy with Observer anymore. This arc I made was created out of spite and bitterness I've been desperately trying to let go of, and it's not how I want to be remembered. Aside from the fact, it includes my former partner's OC and I have no logical way to just never bring her up again since she used to be an important character.
Observer has always been a very personal project to me, and has undergone so many changes because it's always come from my feelings. I can't set it down in stone because I will never be happy with that, I'll never feel "complete" and I'll always be stressing about it.
I don't want to delete everything I have just yet, especially since I'm in the middle of the last page of the arc. But I don't know if I can keep creating Observer as a comic. I have too much personal connection to it, and I've already been having an identity crisis for an entire year over it.
I'm genuinely sorry for dragging it on this long.
Reply to this post if you'd like to see the last page before I decide to scrap it. The least I can do is give closure.
I should be updating more frequently now. I do really bad under schedules and deadlines, but I'd like to put out at least one comic per month. We'll see how that goes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I know I'm not the most professional artist out there, but it means a lot to have people reading my garbage.
Thanks so much for stickin' around! :D
