progress report.
I've got as far as I can with the scripts without artwork. The scripts have to work with the art and my roughs are too rough!
So I'm working on art and then I'll finalise the scripts. so at the moment I'm building models and sets for the new locations. I can't say when I'll start updating the comic again but progress is being made.
hi! i have scripted and drawn rough versions of another 25 updates of gso. there's still about the same amount to go to wrap up the story. so the part on tapastic already is about a third of the story. there are a lot of plot points and the whole thing is kind of a huge undertaking. I'm trying to put in a bunch of jokes and ideas that i wanted to have in it all along . I'm trying to wrangle all the plot points, but not have it all be plot points. I'm trying to stop it from sprawling and keep it concise but still have it all make sense. after I've completed the rough version I will try and smooth over any glaring inconsistencies, which i know i find really annoying when I'm watching or reading stuff. but I also need to make it not boring. I want it to have parts that are their own thing and not just there to connect to other bits.
anyway it looks like there is at least another two years of work to go! even if i build up another big stockpile i will probably have to have another hiatus at some point. once I'm happy with the story and the rough versions ill start work on the artwork and building a big pile of updates.
I'm still struggling with concentration and feeling ill but work is progressing and something is emerging and coming into focus.
Sorry. Giant space owl needs to go on hiatus. After 2 more updates there will be a break. Im running low on my reserve of updates. And i dont want to rush something out. Im currently planning out the rest of the story so things fit together and i need a bit more space.
