Hello. I haven't worked on this comic for 4 years, but that doesn't mean that I don't ever think about it. I think about it pretty much every day of my life, I just got too much real life happening, I'm not sure how to continue. Maybe reduce the complexity of the backgrounds and details ... a lot?
Anyway, I had a little more time than usual in the last 2 weeks so I've completed a picture I found on my computer. It's basically every main character in three different outfits they would wear or that I would have used in the comic sooner or later (and three minor characters at the bottom). --- Full size: https://ic.pics.livejournal.com/lanimalu/58277996/335446/335446_original.png

This is lovely! God, Bobbie!! aaaahhhh <3
And if you feel like reducing details is what you need to do to get back into drawing the comic, that's cool. If not, and you need more time to get into the motion of drawing again, that's cool too. Whatever works best for you!

Fantastic! I think whatever is comfortable, fun and satisfactory to do with your comic will be our gain...your artwork is magnificent so very much looking forward to the continuation whenever you feel like to update!
Thanks so much for the comments! I will try to draw a wee bit more simple and then ... yeah, let's see if I'm comfortable with it. I'm kinda scared to "fail" again, to be honest, because I always have the thought that someday I will make it right and in good quality but the result is that I don't ever make it at all.
The mind is a tricky thing sometimes can encourage but can sabotage us the same with delusions, things that are yet to pass... fails and mistakes are things that happen to the people that do something, a gain, and is normal and necessary to get experience and learn even if is painful, stressing, heavy and compromising for moments; we all pass there sooner or later in different forms and to be honest I prefer sooner as you get sooner too out of it ;).. .Don't burden yourself, you have more than the average to already make it wonderfully: your art is stunning, your storytelling interesting and intriguing and a wonderful plot and with the certainty that everything just can go up from there with the practice and experience... Sorry if I intrude too much but artist of your quality are gems I like to admire ;)
HI! I've been your fan of your art for a long time and i went back on tumblr to look at your art again but when i looked for you...the page said you left TT TT where can i see your art again? Also this comic was so going so greatly, are you going to continue this story? Please do. It's plot is amazing and the art uuuugh even more so TT TT
Don't worry, you can see all my old pictures here: http://lanimalu.livejournal.com/photo/
Thank you so much for caring about this comic too. I will try to continue. It's not like I don't want to, there's just so much going on in my life and time for drawing has become very short ... :(

Are you continuing this comic? I think you've got a great story there, you should definitively do it. I loved the drawing and all the amazing details, not to mention how catchy the story is (cool main plot but also intriguing subplots that you so masterly just briefly pointed to). It seems that there is a story behind the siblings and also all the other characters mentioned. It is quite intriguing and I would love to find out more. Give it a thought, will you?
Thank you so much for this encouraging comment. (It only took me 8 months to see it, yay ...) Believe me, there's not a single day where I don't think about this comic. You know, Tom's car is actually a real car, the Audi S7. You don't see this specific modell very often but there are others that look very similar. So every time I see one of those (which happens daily because my way to work is pretty long) I think: IS THIS TOM'S CAR? And then I think about the characters and story again ...
I'm really happy to see that there are people who actually care about the comic. The only reason why I didn't manage to continue is that I was overwhelmed by how much time it actually took to draw one single chapter. My private life changed a lot after I uploaded it (new boyfriend, new financial situation etc) and it's really hard to sit down and spend so much time again. OF COURSE there would be time to draw a page now and then, I just think I'm a bit scared of the effort that is necessary. But then again, maybe it wouldn't be so hard if I just started.

Ah, I am so happy that you replied. I must confess I had to read your comic again to refresh my memory but it only reinforced my previous statement. You should most definitively continue it. Now, I'm excited again! I am glad that it still is on your mind- this means there is still hope :P. I do understand very well how life can take you away from your art and how huge the effort to get back on track can be. I am an artist myself (not an illustrator though that sound pretty tempting lately) and I am trying to get back to it after being adrift for a few years. So hard, difficult to focus on the work and even more difficult to stay motivated. But I believe I am (very) slowly making progress. You should to. I don't know how many comic artists around here could say they have such a intriguing story and such amazing drawing skills. I think there is just so much potential to it. I would be sad for it all to be wasted away. So try it, ok? Just a little bit at the beginning and don't put any pressure on you. Don't think about updates or followers or what ever. All this will only make you think of how much drawing there is to do and stress you out. Set a goal if you like, let's say one page per week and just leisurely draw on that when you have a few moments. Try to draw a little bit but do it consistently and who knows in a couple of months from now one you might surprise yourself with how many pages you've managed to gather up. Well , I hope you'll see this message a bit sooner than the other one and give it some thought. Have fun drawing :-)
