I'm a creator coming back to here. I want to share my passion for art and writing stories with everyone and convey the feelings of what I draw through my work. I have stories I want to share. They don't get much sun or water when I have them wrapped up tight in my head.

hi y'all, update, finished the clean sketch for part 2 of night train-- gonna be finishing that over the end of the week into the weekend, expect a release most likely on saturday or sunday night!
hey.
its been a really, really long time. I am actually still working on my original series I posted on here years ago. I have changes and matured a lot in the past few years. At the time I was only 18, so it feels weird to go back to something I've worked on for so long, but it is a story that is very close to my heart that I want to share. I'm 26 now, I'm married to the man I met around that same time that encouraged me to first start publishing my story. I want to start a family, and I also want to stop waiting to chase dreams. I found out I was autistic, something that helped me understand my own struggles better. A lot of bad things have happened in my life between 2016 and now. Things are STILL rough, but I am learning how to care for myself. I had to-- so many things about my world broke apart into a million pieces, and I started to feel like that was what happened to my dreams, too.
I know its a weird time to come back to it, 8 years later. But for me it feels like the right time. I made a lot of changes, and it will be getting published under a new name. Other changes too, like I realized I wanted to write a female main character, but held myself back because of what i saw in other media. I've decided to make the changes I feel are best for what I want, to keep my passion about my projects maintained for a long time. I am good enough, my art is good enough. It is okay to share what I can make with other people. It doesn't need to be scary. While its not my main motivator, I also would like to help my family with my own skill and my own hands. I can only pursue those things if I do not let myself be afraid. It's okay if I'm a little bit of a mess.
Right now, the main project I'll be releasing soon is my entry for the Global Comic Awards. I am incredibly excited to participate and share a full story of mine for the first time.
Love & Well Wishes,
Hal

sorry for the lack of updates! October was midterm month so i was realllyyyyy worn down with studying. I'll draw and update soon!!
Also my inking style is quite messy/sketchy sometimes. I'm less concerned with the cleanliness of my lines/art and more with conveying the atmosphere of my work. I like my art to have a lot of "character". :)
Hey everybody! I have the first 3 pages finished already. I'm going to finish the next two this afternoon My rate is about 2 pages/day when I have lots of time. I do everything traditionally minus screen toning and speech bubbles. The last two of those three took me a really long time though!! Over a day of working in almost all my free time. I'm very proud of my results though! :> I hope you all enjoy it.
In general you guys can expect 1-2 pages every few days or once a week when I'm busy (I have to study for college exams.) ^__^
