Last night I reread Driftwood <\/em>from the very beginning, because the time had come to return to it after yet another long period of writer’s block. When I finished reading, I found it necessary to have a self-criticism meeting with myself!<\/p>\n

I realised one thing that’s kind of funny (or sad?). I usually feel embarrassed about the first couple of chapters. But now that I reread them all I realised that the crappiest parts of the comic are actually not the first chapters, but a couple of very uninspired pages in chapter 7!
\nThe first chapters might be very lacking on the technical side, but I was really doing my best most of the time, and managed to channel this weird, twisted energy into it. I picked up on the technical side pretty quickly, too, and compensated for what I wasn’t too good at yet.
\nWhereas in the past couple of years when I’ve been working on chapter 7, I really could have done much better than pages like 14, 15 and 21. And I think I’ve been using much too thin pens for inking some parts of the last couple of pages …<\/p>\n

All in all, Driftwood<\/em>, <\/em>as it is now, is a comic like nothing else out there, and I am once again proud of being the one who gets to draw it.<\/p>\n

All this probably sounds painfully obvious to everyone else, but I just have to remind myself once in a while … V`(oo)\u00b4V<\/p>\n

However, the English translation of the first chapters here is really <\/em><\/strong>very, very bad. Maybe I can redo it some time. :3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
