Crisis Of Faith?

Image
  The thing that kept me alive during my seemingly endless years as a carer for my demented father was the hope that when it was finally over, and I had more than 5 consecutive minutes to myself, I would make comics. Four years after father died, I'm busy making my third book. I'm creatively fulfilled, immensely proud, and show off my books to anyone within my radius. Then there's a little fly in the ointment... My first book eventually hit it's funding goal my second did not despite quadrupling the amount of livestreams I went on.A momentary glitch perhaps?maybe I did something wrong? Next time I'd do better. Except the third book just finished it's crowd funder making even less than the second.I'd thought I was building a customer base and paying my dues, instead I appear to be circling the drain with no indication the next book will do any better than the last. Low selling ,no profile creators can't get on more prominent livestreams with more viewers

The Most Obvious Mistake in History

 It would seem that being able to read and write would be the most basic prerequisite for being a writer.So not noticing for 6 months that your goddam title banner on the front cover of your book is spelled wrong would not be a good thing. (first cover is technically correct but since the title is also a name I can take liberties with the spelling the new right spelling) I approved it, slapped it on everything, then had two separate versions of the book colourised. I once was blind but now I see new cover old cover

Update on progress n shit

 Book two went out  Everyone opted for the Combined Complete Bastardry Version,with book one and two together.                   After a printing snafu that drove me to crazy town I corrected the mistake of pressing on the wrong button and vowed not to do it ever again ,so help me god. Now I focus on book three which is NOT a Kreekraw and Kris book But a fun little detective story about a Mystery solving prostitute called Fellatio Jones: Sex Detective. Now i find myself wracking my brains trying to remember all the TV cop shows my dad subjected me to, trying to remember how to structure a mystery and occasionally even having fond memories of my father.(see previous post for that story) After this book, I go back to what might be the last kreekraw and kris book and then dig into to my old pre-written files from years ago to see which ones need to see the light of day. Take care mofos

The Book is Printed

 The combination of book one and two has arrived. Now to again begin the process of sending them out to the backers and again be shocked and appalled at how much postage has gone up in the intervening time.

Holiday denied

  Well folks ,to say that I am some what fucked off would be a spectacular understatement. My weekend away has been cancelled. NOT by me but by bureaucratic arseholes. A week before I'm due to get on my coach They post a friendly reminder about making certain people all have proof of their covid vaccination  ready to go.This was somewhat disturbing on many levels, I was completely unaware this was a requirement I do not have any proof of a covid vaccination I do not have a covid vaccination So I hurriedly e-mailed the powers that be, politely asking WTF ? After three days of cordial exchanges I finally convinced the person in question that I don't have an issue proving my status, I am simply unvaccinated and would like to come along to the event anyway. This is where I get shut down with a no ,I ask about the appeals' procedure in the event of a such a disagreement and they inform me there isn't one????? Nobody has ever had a problem with this event before, apparently??

The Inks are Done ,shit stabbers

 The inks on book two are complete . Now we continue to the finish line with colouring the rest of the pages . Inking begins on the bonus poster and the cover of book 3. Here's a sneak peak at the new one .

The Inks are nearly done ,mofos

  The final two full pages are commissioned, and the comic shall soon be complete. This one feels like it has been a longer haul than the first book financial reversals lead to a longer production time and The crowdfunding campaign was less successful than the last, leaving me to self fund even more of the book than last time. So I am taking a break from Kreekraw and Kris With The Third Book And Instead opting for an extreme change of pace with a detective story . Wish me luck  my little chickens
