In 2016 I was having A LOT of irl issues, mostly some bad depression and anxiety that completely wiped out my drive to create anything for the next couple months. I thought I wouldn't have the energy to do anything for Children's Week that year and I felt terrible. I was afraid to let everyone down.
But I got an idea to do something simple, VERY simple, that would kinda follow the spirit of things in the form of polaroid photos. I didn't have a story planned out but I might've been unconsciously referencing some old photos I'd seen of my own childhood and family around easter, when everyone was dressed nicely and there were lots of flowers outside.
It would be kinda structure like a comic but not quite. All I had to do was draw and color some simple scenes and hopefully it would be good enough to tell some kind of story.
Children's Week in WoW is a short in-game holiday where Horde and Alliance heroes from all over Azeroth visit orphanages to help support and inspire needy kids. As part of the event, heroes can temporarily 'adopt' one of these kids for a day to show them a wide wonderful world outside the orphanage.
Every year for the past 4 years I've made a mini comic about my priest and paladin being part of the Children's Week festivities. Initially non-canon, over time I've integrated this holiday into their greater story.
These sequential works are presented as snapshots of my WoW OCs within their own context, and some details may not be fully explained by the comics themselves.
